The time was when the railroads developed the coun- try — when they opened the frontiers to civilization and paved the way for the building up of the traffic upon which they were to depend. But the policy bhas changed in later years and now traffic must so to speak be in sight before the road is built, Towns are hardly built and boomed nowon a gamble that a railroad will be built to them. The towns come after tbe road asarule, Thus the lines of rail. road are the fair index to the ability of the country to produce trrffic. A glance at the map of Minnesota will show the measure of this test. [t is coming rapidly to the very fromt. Its eastern counties are covered with a net-. work of rails that rivals Illinois and Iowa. It is the pass mark of prosperity for the state and as the network extends west ward, as it rapidly is, the railroad maps of the country will proclaim the state’s increasing prosperity. Ir 1s SIMPLY a matter of time when the railroad pass giver to legislators and other public ser | vants will be a thing of the past. The idea is vicious, and while there are hundreds who accept passes who discharge their pub lic duties just as faithfully as they received no courtesies from the railroads there are others who do not. The railroads are not in business for their health and if pass issuing was nota pay- ing proposition for them the practice would be abolished in less time than it takes to read these lines. The Penusylvania legislators who are threatening all mauner of vengeance upon the railroads because of the abolishment of passes by the railroads there are making a holy They are either crooked before or they are crooked now, and there is no other way of tiguring it out. THE Grand Forks Times got linto the game yesterday with a sharp arraignment of the reform element which is dubbed a gang of office seeking politicians and the recent meeting of tlLe leadérs at Fargois given a few brown turns. Thus is the real mission of the new paper begun. SPACE uponthe water wagon is not bringing the premium tc- day that it was last Monday. If the rank and file were as anxious to climb and 1emain on the water wagon as they are to get on the kand wagon a saloon license wouldn’t be worth the paper it is written on.

DER. PIERCE’S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION is not nor ever was a “patent medicine,” but it is the carefully wrought out and thoroughly tested real prescription of a real physician in a real practice. Dr. Pierce’s unparalleled success with this remedy was such that more wanted to use it than any one doctor could attend to in a private practice. This induced him to manufacture it on a sufficiently liberal scale to meet the demand. By his own special processes, he ex- tracts, combines and preserves the medi- cinal qualities of the several ingredients without the use of alcohol (using chem- ically pure glycerine instead), thus ren- dering it absolutely safe for any woman of any a%e and in ang condition to use freely. The names of the ingredients are: Lady’s Slipper root, Black Cohosh root, Unicorn_root, Blue Cohosh root and Golden Seal root. Miss May Rohrback, No. 73 Amsterdam Avenue, New York City, Treasurer of the ‘Woman’s Progressive Union, writes: “I had headache, backache, and was very '189,0C0 each, mervous ; scarcely able to sleep more than two hours at a time. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and was delighted with the result. Within a week L was sleeping splendidly.

INHERITANCE TAX EXPLAINED State Auditor Iverson Issues Letter to County Officials in State. It has taken thirteen years for the law taxing inheritances to advance from a stage of constitu- tional authorization to the point where, as a statute it has finally been declared ‘coastitutional by the state supreme court. The bill for the constitutional amendment, changing Sec. 1 and Art. 9 so as to anthorize a tax on inheritances “of every kind and description above a fixed and special sum,” was introduced in the senate of 1:93 by S. W. Lea- vitt, now a membver of the state board of contru], then sia e sena- tor from Meeker county. It is of further interest to note that the chairman of the sepate judi- ciary commiitee, who worked hand in-band «ith the author for the bill’s success, was John Day Smi:h, now on the Henuepin county district bench. In view of the great importance of the recent ruling of the su- preme court, Samucl G. Iverson, state auditor, has issued an ex- planatory letter to county treas- urers, judges of probate, and registers of dceds throughout the state. This letter which is indorsed by Attorney General Edward T. Young, explains that the law does not apply to estates in gross;only to the distributive shares into which the estate 1s divided. The first $10,000 re- ceived by any heir, devisee or legatee, i1s exempt from the tax, therefore when an estate does not exceed $10,000 ia yalue, the law does not apply. Ii an estate amounts to $20,000, $10,000 of that sum is taxable at 1} per cent. Lt the esiate awounts to $45,000, divided cqually amwong five hdirs, oc ithere would be no |tax whatever. If an estate is valued at $75,000, with legacizs of $1,000 each to ten persons and the remainder, $65,000, toone person, thers would be a tax of 3 per cent on &5 000 of the $65.000. The law was approved by the governor April 1Y, 1905, and all estates of persons whose death occurred ‘since 1ilat date, are liable for the tax. The tax be- on the death of the decedent or able one year from such death, except as o' her vise provided.
