Being Rid of a Big Army. In their report which will be made to the state legislature, the state tax commission recommends that the 2,300 local assessors’ offices in the state be abolished and that each county have one assessor in their places. The commission urges that this change will do away with an army of small office holders who are an expense to the tax payers and that by having one man in each county he can give his entire time to the matter and also work in better har- mony with the state commission. The matter will be threshed out by the legislature and it should ap- proach the proposition with at least an open mind. People are not averse to bearing their share of the cost of government and publie im- provements but do object vigorously to having their money frittered away in useless expenditures or other forms |- The state commission will have to supply accurate information of waste. on the subject. No Fighting on That Score. Several papers in this section of Minnesota have interpretéd a recent concerning a normal school to mean that Bemidji story in the Pioneer was again advancing the proposition as one of her own and with a view school here. Their attitude is mistaken. Bemidji would like to have a state noimal Lere and should the general bill be passed by the legislature, would do its best to have the state normal board place the school here. But Bemidji has no fight at this time nor will it have in the legislature with Thief River Falls or any other Northern Minnesota eity. A normal ool should be placed toward bringing the soine where ixvx thds part of the coun- try, for it is needed badly. Bemidji will do-all that it can to have a gen- eral bill passed by the next legisla- ture but in the meantime has no fight with any one over the proposi- tiom. Majority Jury Decisions. The following dispatch was sent out from Minneapolis yesterday: “More than 200 attorneys of Hen- nepin county have indorsed a plan of having civil cases decided by a five- sixths vote of a jury. A. B. Choate was chairman of the meeting of at- torneys in court room_No. 1, at the courthouse, and after the vote was directed to appoint a committee of five to urge passage of a law chang- ing the present jury plan at the next legislature. S. R. Child spoke in fa- vor of the change, and said he would introduce such a bill in the legisla- ture. The resolution embodying the change was presented by George E. Stiles and seconded by Thomas H. Mr. Salmon said that near- ly every state has some such rule in Salmon. civil cases, citing Montana as a state where a two-thirds vote carries. The plan is urged as a means of doing away with present irksome disagree- ments and costly retrial of civil actions.” A five-sixths vote for jury decisions appeals to others than lawyers espec- jally those who have had costly trials go for naught becaiise ‘of one or twx men in a group of twelve who would not decide with the majority. 7 Beltrami county has had many. cases which-have resulted in jury dis- agreements because of the rule that the decision must be unanimous. If m is correctly informed, the jury in the Zipple case, which was the last to be tried in Bemidji, stood nine to three on the first ballot and later stood ten to two. Had the five- sixths rule been in effect then, a de- cision would have'been reached and the expense of the whole trial would not have been wasted. Incidentally, such a rule would make it a pretty hard matter to “hang” a jury. Mm. John Rasmussen i8 cooking |for awhile at the Benson and Potter camp, near her home. V. P.
