Mr. Barnes says that he has no knowledge of any indictment hav- ing been found ‘against Mr. Woolley for embezzlement and that so far as the story goes that can be vouched for is that Mr. Woolley hed gone a ttle too far in the matter of failing to make reports to the company.

But the commission will not des- pair of direct tax on personal property without one more attempt to compel citizens aud taxing officers to obey the law. Hence the drastic provi- sions of the new bill. It is a kind of a forlorn hepe. The Commission wishes to see, onec for all, if it is possible to enforce a personal tax law. who has settled tn¢ matter in full. The report that W. W. Woolley had lost his position as State Agent for the Intestate Insurance Co., on the grounds of his being short in his accounts with that company, as reported ir: the Minneapolis ‘l'ribune under date of Jan. 12th, is untrue. Mr. Wooley has been State Agent for the company since its organiza tion, has never been released from All citizens are to be required to list their property at its true value un- der oath. There are ingenious and elaborate safeguards against evasion. Citizens who list falsely are to be held guilty of misdemeanor, and fined from $50 to $5,000. Citizens who re- fure to list are to be taken vefore the courts and interrogated upon oath, and the cost of the proceedings are to be added to their tax. Assessors who accept unsworn lists are to be fined $25 foreach case. Moreover, they need not take sworn lists as final. They may examine any citizen on oath as to the truth of any other citizen’s sworn list and increase as- sessments upon credible evidencence. In order to bring all possible’ knowl- edge to bear on the subject, lists for each assessment district, township, ward or smaller division are to be mailed to all the taxpayers in the in that division, This is to be under- stood as an invitation to every tax- payer to criticise every other taxpay- er’s sworn return and bring to the knowledge of the assessing officer any evidence, knowledge or. belief he possesses relative to its veracity. The commission seems to have ex hausted: every imaginable means of securing complete assessment of per- sonal property for taxation. It has even reduced the exemption from $100 to $25. The motive of this is good. The commission believes that a deal of property has been coyered up under these $100 exemptions. But we doubt if the change will be popular and we are not even eertain that it will work well. Certainly the worst tax dodgers are rich men, and these the responsibilities of that office, was never on trial for embezzlement, and is at this time their State Agent. It looks as though malice has had something to do with starting this report, as it was certainly unnecessary to mention the fact that he had been at one time Minnesota’s Grand Chanc¢elor, or that his wife’s name should ap- pear in connection with a difference so likely to arise at most any time among business men. “Lhey Won Out. So far all those holding homesteads in township 69, range 22, whose en= tries were blocked by a previous ap- plication of the Northern Pacific scrip on the same tract, and who have had a hearing before the local office here, have won out in the con- troversy. his is the certain vut- come in all such cases where the settler can produce evidence that they are in guod faith and that they are performing their homestead duties. In the above cited cases, or those of Frank S. Lang, Fred Adams, Henry Hanson, John P. Kelly and Gus Anderson, the Duluth Land Office officials hold that the settler should be accorded entry, and that the scrip application should be re- fused. A decision from the general land, office at Washington must be awaited, which it is expected will take in the neighborhood of three months before entry can be made.— Rorder Budget. % Married Miss Christene Nelson and Mr. O, Pp.
