No doubt the people of Bemidji will do just honor to to the senior senator, Wednesday evening, by giv- ing him a record-breaking crowd. INDEPENDENT VOTER COMING INTO HIS OWN. Political wrecks are strewn all along the pathway. Today he is it, and tomorrow he is a has been, un- cared for: unmourned and no place to lay his political head. Itis a strenuous game, pleasant when played on the square, full of promise but the ax falls for all of them in time and the one who knows when the time to lay down has come is an exception to the rule.—Elk River Star News. The day of ths “political boss” is rapidly passing, and the man who votes the ‘“‘straight party ticket,” simply because he s told so to do is also a rare personage. The people are reading the platforms of the parties and studyiug the records of candidates for office with an absorb- ing interest that is every day adding to the ranks of the independent voters who repudiate a *‘boss.” BATTLE WITH MONTANA REDS Game Warden and Four In- dians Killed. FEW DETAILS OF AFFAIR Fight Is Said to Have Occurred in Powell County, Mont, and Was Caused by the Officer Endeavoring to Arrest the Red Men for Alleged Infractions of the Game Laws of That State. Helena, Mont.,, Oct. 20.—A report has reached here that in a battle with Indians Deputy Game Warden Peyton and four Indians were killed. Tha offi- cer was endeavoring to arrest the In- dians for infractions of the game laws. The fight occurred in Powell county. KILLS WOMAN AND HIMSELF Millionaire Grain Man Commits Dou- ble Crime. Omaha, Oct. 20.—“Notify my brother that something terrible is go- ing to happen in a few minutes,” tele- phoned Sewell Sleuman, aged fifty, a millionaire grain dealer, to his clerk. An hour later, when Sleuman was found, he was lying dead across the feet of Eva Hart, aged twenty-four, an actress, with whom he was infatuated and who was also dead. Sleuman was one of the best known grain men of the West. He had a wife and family from which he has been separated a few months and had been infatuated for three years with Miss Hart, In the room where the tragedy oc- curred every piece of furniture was broken, pictures , slashed, carpets ripped up with a butcher knife and every conceivable damage done. On a table was a note saying that Miss Hart had turned him down and he did not care to live without her. “She is almost gone now and I will finish the job as soon as she is dead,” said the note. Evidently Sleuman had shot the woman and while waiting for her to die wrecked the house, afterward killing himself. Miss Hart had announced her inten- tion to break the relations with Sleu- ‘man and lead a better life. This de- cision is supposed to have brought on the tragedy. FOUR CHILDREN PERISH. Overheated Stove Sets Fire to a Dwelling House. Altoona, Pa., Oct. 20.—An overheat- ed stove set fire to a dwelling house at Summit, a mining town ten miles west of here, and four children lost their lives, while two other persons were probably fatally injured. The dead are: Morris Delaney, fifteen years old; Robert Nagel, aged thirteen;_ Joseph Delaney, aged nine; Charles Delaney, aged twenty months. The injured are Mrs. Luke Delaney, mother of the Delaney children, jumped from second story window, taken to Johnstown hospital in dying condition; Wilson Judge, aged ten years, leg broken, internally injured. Mrs. Delaney was aroused by the heat from the fire. When che opened her bedroom door intending to rescue her children, who were asleep in an- other room. she was confronted by flames through which it was Impossi- ble to pass,~leaving her no alteria- tive but to jump to save her life. Be- sides being injured in her fall she was severely burned. The children wera burned to ashes in their cots. The fire originated directly under the room in which they slept. The interest of the Democrats in the prosperity of the country, which Mr. Bryan believes to be paramount, will extend to the length of refusing to de- stroy it by putting the Nebraskan at the head of the government. man Ridder of New York, the new treasurer of the Democratic- national committee, gave out an Interview in which he said: “I said to Mr. Bryan: ‘You cannot carry New York, and you cannot be elected. Why ‘don’t you step aside and permit -the nomination of some man who can be elected? ” Mr. Ridder’s judgment was exceptionally good at that time, amd his statement of fact still holds true. Proposed Amendments —T0 THE— Constitution —OF— Minnesota —BY— Thelegislature General Session, 1907. St. Paul, Minn., May 1st, 1008. Hon. Julius A. Schmahl, Secretary of State— sir: As required by Section 25 of the Revised Laws, as amended, | have the honor to furnish you herewith a state- ment of the purposes and effects of the respective amendments proposed to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota by the Legislature of 1907, and which are to be submitted to the electors of said State at the General Election of 1908. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The first proposed amendment Is con- tained In Chapter 477 of the Laws of 1907. By this amendment it is sought to repeal Sections one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4) and seventeen (17) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution (the latter section belng the amendment to sald Ar- ticle nine (9), adopted in 1896), which sectlons now read as follows: “gection 1. All taxes to be raised in this state shall be as nearly equal as may be, and all property on which taxes are to be levied shall have a cash valuation and be equalized and uniform throughout the state: Provided, that the legislature may, by general law or special act, au- thorize municipal corporations to levy assessments for local improvements upon the property fronting upon such improve- ments, or upon the property to be bene- fited by such improvements, or both, without regard to cash valuation, and in such manner as the legislature may pre- geribe: and provided further, that for the purpose of defraying the expenses of lay- ing water pipes and supplying any city or municipality with water, the legislature may, by general or special law, authorize any such city or municipality, having a population of five thousand or mere, to fevy an annual tax or assessment upon the lineal foot of all lands fronting on any water main or water pipe laid by such city or mun‘cipality within cor- porate limits of said city for supplying water to the citizens thereof without regard to the cash value of such prop- erty, and to empower such city to collect any such tax, assessments or fines, or penalties for failure to pay the same, or any fine or penalty for any violation of the rules of such city or municipality in regard to the use of water, or for any water rate due for the same: and pro- vided further, that there may be by law levied and coilected a tax upon all inher- itances, devises, bequests, legacles and gifts of every kind and description atove a fixed and specified sum, of any and all natural persons and corporations. Such tax above such exempted sum may be uniform or it may be graded or progress- ive, but shall not exceed a maximum tax of five per cent. “Section 2. The legislature shall pro- vide for an annual tax sufficient to de- fray the estimated ordinary expenses of the state for each yvear, and whenever it shall happen that such ordinary expenses of the state for any year shall exceed the fncome of the state for such year the legislature shall provide for levying a tax for the ensulng year sufficient, with other sources of income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding vear, together with the estimated expenses of such ensuing year. But no law levying a tax or making other provisions for the payment of interest ot principal of bonds denominated ‘Minne- sota State Railroad Bonds,’ shall take effect or be In force until such law shall have been submitted to a vote of the people of the state, and adopted by a majority of the electors of the state vot- ing upon the same. “ection 3. Laws shall be passed tax- ing all moneys, credits, investments in bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or otherwise, also all real and personal property, according to its true value in money; but public burying grounds, pub- llc school ~houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all seminaries of learning, all churches, church property used for religious pur- poses, and houses of worship, institu- tions of purely public charity, public property used exclusively for any publia purpose, and personal property to an amount not exceeding in value two hun- dred dollars for each individual, shall, by general laws, be exempt from taxation. “Section 4. Laws shall be passed for taxing the notes and bills discounted or purchased, moneys loaned, and all other property, effects, or dues of every de- scription, of all banks and of all bank- ors, ®o that all property employed in banking shall always be subject to a tax- ation equal to that imposed on the prop- erty of individuals. - “iSection 17. The legislature may im- pose, or provide for the imposition of, up- on the property within this state of any and all owners or operators, whether cor- porate or Individual, or otherwise, of any and all sleeping, parlor and drawing room cars, or any or either of the same, which run in, into or through this state; also upon the property within this state of any and all telegraph and telephone com- panies, or owners, whose lines are in, or extend In, into or through this state; also upon the property within this state of all express companies, or owners, or any or either of the same, doing business in this state; also upon the property within this state of all domestic insurance com= panles of this state of any kind; also upon the property within this stats of any aad all forejgn insurance companies doing business in this state of_any kind; also upon the property within .wfin of a¥ owners or gperators of any and all mines or of mineral ores situated In this state; also ‘upon the property within this state of all boom companies or owners, and of all ship builders or owners doing business in this state or having a port 'therein (provided, that this act shall not apply to property owned by railroad companies, their lands and other property); and upon the property of either or any of such companies or owners,—a tax as uniform as reasonably may be with the taxes im- posed upon similar property in said state, or upon the earnings thereof within this state, but may be graded or progressive, or both, and in providing for such tax, or in providing for ascertaining the just and true value of such property, it shall be competent for the legislature in either or all_such cases, to impose such tax upon any or all property thereof within this state, and in either case by taking as the basis of such imposition the pro- portionate business, earnings, mileage or quantity of production or property now or hereafter existing of any such com- panies, persons or owners, transacted or existing in this state, in relation to the entire business, mileage or quantity of production or property of such com- panies, persons or owners as aforesaid; or in such other manner, or by such other method as the legislature may de- termine; but the proceeds of such taxes upon mining property shall be distributed between the state and the various polit- ical subdivisions thereof wherein the same is situated, in the same proportion as the proceeds of taxes upon real-prop- erty are distributed: Provided further, that nothing in this act contained shall operate to authorize the assessment or taxation of any farm land or ordinary business blocks or property owned by any such corporation, person, firm or company except in the manner provided by the ordinary methods of taxation,” and to substitute therefor the following: “Sec. 1. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended or con- tracted away. Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects, and shall be levied and collected for public purposes, but public burying grounds, public school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all seminaries of learning, all churches, church property used for religious pur- poses, and houses of worship, institutions of purely public charity, and public property used exclusively for any public purpose, shall be exempt from taxation, and there may be cxempted from taxa- tion personal property not exceeding in value 3200 for cach household, individual, or head of a family, as the legislature may determine. But the legislature may authorize municipal corporations to levy and collect assessments for local im- provements upon property benefited thereby without regard to a cash valua- tion, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect, modify or repeal any existing law providing for the taxa- tion of the gross carnings of railroads.” This proposed constitutional amend- ment was submitted and voted upon at the last election and was declared car- ried. But a contest was instituted by In= terested parties, claiming that the amend- ment was not carried. That contest Is now pending In the courts and it was on that account that the legislature declded to re-submit_the amendment to the peo- ple, so that however the contest may be decided, the next legislature may have the power granted by the amendment. For the purpose of discussing the effect of the amendment | will assume that the same amendment submitted at the last election, did not carry. The purpose and effect of this amend- ment would be to greatly enlarge the power of the legislature with reference to the subject of taxation. Section cns (1) as it now stands .provides that all taxes Imposed shall be equal—as near as may be—on all forms of property, and all property upon which a tax is Imposed fs required to have a CASH VALUATION equalized throughout the state. Sectlon two (2) as It now stands re- quires the legislature to levy the neces- sary taxes annually to defray the ex- penses of the state. That Is the duty of the legisiature without any constitutional direction. Section three (3) as It now stands pro- vides that all real and personal property, including MONEYS, CREDITS and IN- VESTMENTS IN BONDS AND STOCKS, shall be assessed according to their true value in money. Section four (4) as It now stands pro- vides that property emp#yed in banking shall be subject to a tax equal to that Imposed on other property. This is only a repetition of the requirements of Sec- tions one (1) and three (3), as no rational person would claim that banking capital should be exempt from taxation. Section seventeen (17) as it now stands Is not easy to understand, but It was In- tended by that section to relleve from the operation of sections one (1) and three (3), above quoted, property of the classes therein enumerated, 50 that a gross earn- Ings tax could be applied thereto instead of direct taxation. Owing to the provisions of sections one (1) and three (3) of the present Constl- tution many amendments were from time to time added so as to permit taxes to be Imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a cash valuation equalized throughout the state. We have among these exceptions rallroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; Inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by sa'd section seven- teen (17). Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemp- tions are not changed by the proposed amendment, | will make no further ref- erence to them. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections and amendments above referred to, Is simple and plain. No provision of the Constitution is necessary to authorize the Imposition of the taxes necessary for the support of the state and its various polit- Ical subdivisions. The power of taxation Is Inherent in government. This proposed amendment declares that this inherent power of taxation shall never be surren- dered, suspended or contracted away; that taxes shall be Imposed for public purposes and shall be uniform on the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be adopted all property of every Kind In the state would be subjact to taxation, according to the method the legislature ‘saw fit to adopt, provided only that the tax was levied for a pub- lic purpose and was uniform on the same class of subjects. Under this amend- ment ‘every tax iaw we now have on the statue books would continue to be valid, because under this amendment all iimita- tions on the power of the legislature would be taken away. The adoption of this amendment would, as Indicated, repeal the so-called inherit- ance tax amendment, and the gross earn- Ings ndment adepted in 1896, a contained In said Section seventeen (17), but In their place this amendment woulid glve the legislature greater authority. Under thls amendment the power to Im- posa Inheritance taxes would be unlimit- ed, and any form of gross earnings tax would be valld. The gross earnings tax on railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution provide: that they cannot be changed without sub mitting the law making the change to a vote of the people. But with this amend- ment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, notably an Incom= tax, a ton- nage tax on iron ore and a re- ‘ry tax on mortgages. Under the presei: Corstitus tion we can impose no tax on mortgages owned by non-residents. A registry tax, which would be valid under this amend- ment, would reach all mortgages While the Constitution requires al Jeots of taxation to have a cash valua tlon~ with the tax equalized througheut the state, no proper Income tax could be Imposed. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The second "propcsed zmendment Is contalned In Chapter 473 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1907. By this amendment it Is sougiit to repeal Section sixteen (16) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution, which section now reads a follows: “For_the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there is hereby created a fund to be known'as the ‘State Road and Bridge Fund.' Said fund shall include all moneys accruing from the in- come derived from investments in the Internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided. “The legislature is authorized to add to such fund for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year one-twentieth (1-20) of one (1) mill on all the taxable property within the state. “The legislature is also authorized to provide for the appointment, by the gov- emor of the state, of a board to be known as the ‘State Highway Commis- sion,’ consisting of three (3) members, who shall perform such duties as shall be preseribed by law without salary or com- pensation other than personal expenses. “Such commission shall have general superintendence of the construction of state roads and bridges and shall use such fund in the construction thereof and distribute the same in the several coun- tles in the state upon an equitable basis. Provided further, that no county shall re- celve in any year more than three (3) per cent or less than one-half (14) of one (1) per cent of the total fund thus pro- vided and cxpended during such year; and, provided further, that no more than one-third (1-3) of such fund accru- ing in any year shall be expended for bridges, and in no case shall more than one-third (1-3) of the cost of construc- tion or improving any road or bridge be paid by the state from suca fund,’” and to substitute therefor the following: “Section 16. For the purpose of lend- ing aid in the construction and improve- ment of public hizhways and bridges, there is hereby cicated a fund to be known as the ‘Statc Road and Bridge Fund.’ Said fund shall include all moneys accruing from the income derived from investments in the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided. “The legislature is anthorized to add to such fund, for the purpose of construct- ing or improving roads and bridges of this state by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state.” The purpose and effect of thls amend- ment Is to authorize the legislature to levy upon all the property of the state any amount necessary, In its judgment, for the benefit of the roads and bridg therein, and In so far removes the limita- tion which now exists in the Constitution, whereby the legislature s prevented from levying for such purpose a tax ex- ceeding One-twentieth (1-20) of one (1) mill on the taxable property within the state. This armendment further authorizes the legislature to provide salary and compen- sation, Includirg personal expenses In- curred In the performance of duty by the highway commission, or any other like officer entrusted by law with similar du- ties, Finaily, this amendment removes the iimitation which ncw exists In the Con- stitution upon Lhe powers of the highway commission in the distribution of the road and bridge ‘fund of the state whereby au- thorized, and the amount which the stats may pay from such fund toward the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge, and leaves the whole management of such fund to be provided for by law, as the legislature shail deem wise. The adoption of this amendment will not interfere with the power of the legis- lature to create a highway commlssion and define its powers, nor wlill it Inter. fere with the appointment and tenure of office of the present commission. THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The third proposed amendment is con- tained In Chapter 379 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1907. By this amendment it Is sought to add the follow- Ing section to Article nine (9) of the Con- stitution as a new section: “Section 17. The legislature may pro- vide for the payment by the State ot Minnesota of damages to growing crops by hail and wiad, or either, and to pro- vide a fund for that purpose, may im- pose a specific tax upon lands, the own- ers of which, at their option, have listed the same with county auditors for that purpose, and no payment shall be made of any such damages except from the fund so provided.” The purpose and effect of this amend- ment is to authorize the legislature to permit the state to become the trustee In the collection and disbursement of a fund for the payment of damages to growing crops by hail or wind, or both. This fund Is to be created and maintained by a spe- cific tax upon the lands of such persons ONLY as shall VOLUNTARILY list the same with their respective county audit- ors for such purpose. There can be no tax for such purpose imposed on the lands of any owner who does not consent there- to. Its adoption will authorize the legls- lature to direct that the taxing machinery of the state be used to levy and collect the tax necessary to raise such fund, and to provide for the disbursement of the same by the officers of the state, but any payments to be made by the state by rea- son of damage by hall or wind wili have to be made from said fund and from no other. The state would assume no re- sponsibility beyond the amount of such fund, and could not further be rendered liable. FOURTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The fourth proposed amendment Is con- tained in Chapter 480 of the laws of Min- nesota for the year 1907. By this amend- ment it Is sought to repeal the provisions of Section seven (7) of Article seven (7) of the Constitution, which section now reads zs follows: “Every person who by the provisions of this article shall be entitled to vote at any election shall be eligible to any office ‘which now is, or hereafter shall be, elec- tive by the people in the district wherein he shall have resided thirty days previous to such election, except as otherwise pro- vided in this Constitution, or the Consti- tution and laws of the United States,” and to substitute therefor the following: “Every person who by he provisions of this article shall be entitled to vote at any electicn shall be eligible to any office which now s, or hereafter shall be, elec. tive by the people in the district wherein be shall have resided thirty days previous to ‘such election, except county super-| Intendents of schools, who shall be re- quired to have educational qualifications to be determined by the legislature, and except as otherwise provided in this Con- stitution, or the Constitution and laws of the Unjted States.” The purpose and effect of this amend- ment s to authorize the legislature to re- quire educatioral qualifications, In addl. tion to all the other qualifications now re- quired by law, for any person seeking the office of county-superintendent of schools. As the Constituticn ncw stands any legal voter Is eligible to the office of county superintedent of schools. The foregoing four proposed amend- ments constitute all the amendments pro- posed for adoption at the ensuing General KElection. 2 Yours respectfully, EDWARD T. YOUNG, % Attorney General. e e T, 5 = T TO PROVE HIS CONTENTION Unusual Challenge Made by Anti-Vac- cinationist. Philadelphia, Oct. 20.—An unusual challenge to test the effectiveness of vaccination was issued at the opening meeting of the national anti-vaccina- tion conference, which will remain in session three days, with representa- tives present from' state and national organizations opposed to compulsory vaccination - and other . compulsory medical practices. Dr. Rudolph Straube ‘of Philadelphia, in an ad- dress, challenged Dr. Samuel Dixon, head of the Pennsylvania health de- partment, to spend a night in a bed with him with a smallpox patient be- tween them to prove the claim that vaccination is of no benefit in pre- venting the spread of that disease. Dr. Dixon, Dr. Straube says, has been vaccinated several times, while he has never been inoculated. During the conference a national or- ganization will be formed to conduct a campaign of education throughout the country and an effort will be made to prove that tuberculosis and cancer are directly due to vaccina- tion. The proposed organization will take the ground that all compulsory medical practice is oppressive, if not actually unconstitutional. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.
