Mr. Butler, who resides in the |Town of Durand, appeared before the 'board and asked that a survey be made of a road in Towns of Dur- and and Turtle Lake. Mr. Butler stat- ed that the settlers were anxious to work upon this road. After due consideration, the board passed a resolution’ duthorizing the county surveyor to lay out the road as soon as there 'was 'money in the road and bridge fund to pay the ‘ex- penses of said survey. = A like disposition was made of a petition of ‘Charles 'Carter” for the survey of aroad’ from” Hines to Blackduck lake. A petition for the formation of a new school district "out of - ‘certain territory in School District No. 8, Town ot Frohn, was rejected. A petition asking the division of School District No. 41 was laid over until an adjourned meeting which is |to'lbe held August 3, for the reason that the proper notices had not been posted. A protest to this division has been filed by ten citizens and taxpayers of the district affected and the hear- ing will be given at the August meeting. - C. M. Nesseth,.on behalf of himself and twenty other citizens and tax- payers of the Town of Cormant, appeared before the board and asked that the county request the public examiner’s office to send a man to that town to examine the township books, Mr. Nesseth alleging a num- ber of irregularities which he claimed had been allowed to pass by the transactions of the town board. A petition from nine taxpayers and citizens of School District No. 13, Town of Eckles, was presented to the board asking that a deputy public examiner be sent to their dis- trict to go over the books of the treasurer and clerk, and make report on same. In their petition they allege that on May 9, 1908, the county treasurer paid to said school district treasurer $985.61; that at the annual meeting held July 18, 1908, the treasurer reported $600 on hand with an indebtedness of $1300; they also allege that school orders were not paid in rotation; that the school district money is not kept in separate funds; that the treasurer does not notify payees of orders as to money on hand to pay said orders, thereby allowing interest to accumu- late. The petitions of C. M. Nesseth and of School District No. 13, ‘ were laid over until August 3. James Long and Walter Neudick have had the chairman of the county board and the county auditor served with papers asking judgment for $92 and costs, thatbeing the balance they claim is due them for work 6n the following road: ‘‘Commencing at the southwest corner of section 5, township 148, range 33, running thence north between sections 5 and 6 three-quarters of a mile.” The contract price they claim was $1070.25. At the completion of the contract, they allege they were paid all due them except the $92.

SAVES TIME FOR THE CONFEREES Administration Will Revise Tax Amendment,. SECTION TO BE REDRAFTED President Taft and His Advisers Feel That, as They Will Be Held Respon. sible for That Portion of the Tariff Bill, They Should Have a Free Hand In Working Out the Legal Problems Involved. Washington, July 13.—President Taft' and the lawyers of his cabinet have undertaken to save the tarift conferees from haggling over the cor- poration tax amendment. It is conceded that the measure as passed by the scnate must be redraft- ed in order to remove constitutional objections and to 'meet the views of the administration. The president has told the leaders of the scnate and house that as the administration would be charged with the responsibility of collecting the tax and defending the act if acsailed in the courts the ad- ministration should be permitted "to perfect the measure. Senator Aldrich and Representative Payne have made no objection to the suggestion made by the president and as a result Attorney General Wicker- One of the interesting sights of circus day witl be to observe the working of the commissary depart- ment of the VYankee Robinson Shows. This department is under the supervision of Mr. H. L. Kelly, who has the enormous task of get- ting ready over 2,000 meals a day for the employes of the show. At breakfast, dinner aud supper he feeds 650 people. Seven cooks pre- pare each meal and twenty-five flunkies, or waiters, serve the meals to the circus employes. Over 1,400 pounds of meat are shipped from the packerrs daily and 700 loaves of bread are consumed daily with the show. Breakfast is ready for the canvas- men, hostlers and workinfi people forty-five minutes after the cook house wagons are placed on the lot. Breakfast is over at nine o’clock in the morning, dinner is served at eleyen thirty and supper at five p. m. After supper the wagons are loaded and taken to the cars where they’ leave on the first train at eleven p, m. “ : To feed properly the employes of a large show is considered one of the wonders of the age and itis well worth the time “of the visitor of the show to go to the dining tent and observe how it is accomplished. At Bemidji, Thursday July 22. sham is working out the legal prob- lems involved: In frequent consulta- tion with the attorney general are Secretary of State Knox, Senator Root and the president himseclf. When they have perfected the amendment it will be sent to the conferees, who will incorporate it in the bill as agreed to In conference. Conferees May. Reduce Rate. If the corporation tax feature is changed at all after being redrafted the alterations will probably be con- fined to the rate of tax imposed upon net earnings. There is a strong sen- timent in congress that the tax should be not more than 1 per cent and it may be cut in half accordingly; but the rate has not come up for discus- sion among the confarees. Some reluctance is being exhibited by members of the house regarding suggestions that the inheritance tax feature adopted by that body be left out of the bill. President Taft has been impressed by the arguments of the states that they should not be disturbed in their use of the inherit- ance tax as a means of raising rev- enucs, although his belief in the prin- ciple has not abated. However, he does not think that federal and state governments should both resort to this method of raising revenues. The conferces are at work. with a vigor and enthusiasm that portends haste in getting the bill back to the’| senate and the house. The conferees proceeded rapidly through the metal schedule and into the wood schedule in a few hours. TAFT NOW TAKING A HAND In Daily Conference With Tariff Bill Conferees. ‘Washington, July 13.—President Taft is holding daily conferences with the house and senate conferees on the tariif bill. He has found the conferees conciliatory and is hopeful that in the end a satisfactory bill will be present- ed to him for his signature. The president is not opposed to a reduction in the rate of the corpora- tlon tax. This can be stated upon the highest authority. 1f it can be shown that sufficient revenue will be pro- duced at 1 per cent rather than at 2 per cent the president will not object to the reduction. He favors the tax as a tax and thinks there are other ad- vantages to it than the mere produc- tion of revenue. 3 "The president in his. talks with the conferees has begun the discussion of specific rates, ‘The time for talk as to the application of a general prin- eiple has: passed, in his opinion. President Taft is said to be opposed to the Clapp amendment to the cor- poration tax, which would make it ap- plicable to holding companies organ- ized to hold the stock of other cor- porations. He regards this as:double taxation and unjust. President Taft has been informed by the conferees that they will prob- ably be two weeks at their task.
