DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT Wide Open Tax-Amendment in Minne- sota Carried. St. Paul, Jan. 9.—The wide open tax amendment was carried by popular vote in 1906 and is now a law, accord- ing to a ruling of the state supreme court. The state canvassing board, which held that the amendment was edopted, is sustained. The district ccurt of St. Louls county, which held that the amendment had not passed, is reversed and the state tax commis- sion now will have authority to im- pose a gross earnings tax on iron ore if it sees fit to do so0. It was for this decision that Gov- ernor Johnson and the state legisla- ture had been waiting before giving serious consideration to gross earn- ings tax laws on the iron ore of the state. At the same time the ruling of the district court that the good roads amendment was adopted will stand, so that both amendments may now be considered law. MILITIA GUARD JAIL T0 PREVENT RESGUE Night Riders Gonvicted of Mur- der of Captain Rankin. Union City, Tenn., Jan. 9.—A strong military gnard surrounds the jail that confines the eight night riders found guilty of participation in the murder of Captain Rankin. The dreaded attempt to rescue the defendauts did not follow the verdict of the jury, but this has not caused the least abatement in the vigilance of the guards. The crisis is expeoted when the court denies the motion for a new trial and pronounces sentence. Under the Tennessee law Garrett Johnson, Tid Burton, Fred Pinion, Roy Ranson, Arthur Cloar and Sam Apple- white, found guilty of ‘first degree murder, may be sentenced either to execution or life imprisonment. Bud Morris and Bob Huffman, guilty of #econd degree murder, are doomed by the jury’s finding to twenty years in prison. APPEAL FOR TEMPERANCE Governor Hanly’s Final Message to - Indiana Legislature, Indianapolis, Jan. 9.—“I am aware there are some who have already cele- brated the county option law’s repeal, but I beg to remind all those who con- template its repeal that it is the livest wire in the political machinery of this commonwealth and is charged with enough electricity to electrocute the party that repeals it.” In these words Governor J. Frank Hanly, in his final message to the legislature of Indlana, closes his ap- peal in behalf of temperance after seeking to demonstrate by figures that a majority of the crime, pauperism, epilepsy and poverty are due to alco- hol. The message, in part, says: “Alcohol must be held responsible . for about four-fiftths of the anti-social propensities that make necessary the huge paraphernalia of police systems, oriminal courts, jails, prisons and re- formatories that constitute se serious a blot upon present day clvilization.” WILL .
