CAMBRIDGE, IsANr1 Co., MINI,

CAMBRIDGE, IsANTI Co., MIMI,
January Ii, 1875.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, St. Paul:
DEAR SIR: Upon reading the letter IN
the Ayr1.loNopoL1sr frem Mr.. Lane, rel
alive to taxing the interest of settlers in
lands taken under the homestead act,
would also like to call your attention to
another matter cognate to the above.
The Lake Superior & Mississippi railroad
company own considerable land in this
and adjoining counties. which, by the
terms of their charter is exempt from
taxation. The last paragraph of section
3, CHAPTER l, general laws of 1S74-the
same section as quoted by Mr.. Lane-re-
ouires that the improvements upon lands,
the title to which it is still vested in any
railroad company, whose property is not
subject to the same mode and rule Of tax.
alton as other property. shall be taxed as
personal property, and section 80, chap
ter l. general laws of 1874, also requires
that property held under contract for
the purchase thereof. from any railroad
company. whose property is not other
wise taxed, shall be considered for the
purpose of taxation as the property of the
person holding the same, and is. under
this section, taxed as real estate.
The Railroad Commissioners. each
spring, send to the County Auditors list
of lands sold or contracted to be sold by
the railroad companies, stating that the
list is furnished by the companies and &C
knowledged by them to be subject to tax
alton. The County Auditors Therefore
add them to the assessment rolls for IS
sessment, and levy taxes on them accord
ingly. which taxes arc hardly ever paid
and, in my opinion. cannot be enforced
. think there are matters which should b
acted on by the Legislature this session
taking it on the lowest ground it is i'm
polite topass laws which c'nnot be en-
forced, As it engenders general disre
, spect Of laws, and makes the collection
taxes especially = regular warfare. Doubt
: less the homestead settler and the cor
tractor for the purchase Of piece of raj
road land has an interest IN the land b
is upon, and derives IN income therefor
f AS much IS if he actually owned it
n but if his interest or income cannot be Il
: gally taxed, do not try to do It It all.

Some Important Questions Answered
-.Erce schools and Tree Planting.
New AUBURN, MINI.

Editor Anti Monopolist:
DEAR SIR Il have three questions to
ask of Land would be very thankful to
YOU for answering them.
First. Here in this place the town au.
thorities hold that no outsiders have any
right to come to this school, under any
consideration. When they are sent to
this school, il not residents of this r,lace.
they are turned out. For instance, am
tax payer and have no children, but l
want to take boy for the winter, and
sent him to school, but they won't allow
him to attend.
Second. What time does the grant ex.
pire of the Hastings & Dakota Railway!
Is there any prospect of it being built an
other year?
Third. What is the law in refer.
ence to taking Calm under the tree act!
What is the bounty and at what time Is
it receiyed9 There are many that would
like to know about it in this place.
By answering these questions you will
greatly oblige,
Yours respectfully, II. A. FELrus.
I'VE answer
I. Section 90 of the act Of March 5,
1873, page 81, provides that ''all scha2ls
supported wholly or in part by the State
current school fund shall be styled the
public schools and admission to them
shall be free, to all persons bst,ceen ice
and twanty-one gears Of age, residing
in the district"
Attorney General Cole decided Februa
rvo. 1862, that scholar actually and
in good faith domiciled in family in the
District would be entitled to the benefit:
of the schoo, without regard to the resi-
dence Of his parents.
All interpretations of the law should b
in favor of education the schools ART
free schools--free to all. In the case yo'
give, there is no doubt whatever that
bow hired for the winter and domiclled II
the district, would be entitled to the ad
vantages of the public school of the dis
trict. whether his employer paid taxes o
not.
III. The period in which the Tasting
and Dakota Railroad Company are t
complete their road does not expire unit
March. 1877. There are rumors that tn
comnany will build forty miles of thel
road this wear. We trust it is so.
III. The act referred to is the act

At "a meeting Of Marion Grange, No.
2l5, held on the 9th inst, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Grange
that our representatives in our State LegislA
ture be requested TO use their influence %
amend our assessment laws OF last winter, 80
that it will make the time OF returning our
property the first day Of July, instead Of the
irst day Of May, as the law now Is.
mResoiced, That the law, Is it now Is, discrim-
mates against the farmer, inasncch as grain
held for sale in the spring does not represent
our wealth in . large majority Of cases, but our
debts.
Rssolped, fvtAsr, That we request all farm

The Political Situation as Viewed by

Editor Anti Monopolist:
Does the article from the St. Paul Dis
patch, copied in the issue of Jan. 18th OF
the ANTI MoNoPoL1sr, ioreshadow coming
events, and does it give true version OF
the present political situation! Is it
fact that the Democrats and Liberals con-
stitute majority of the people /! Is it
question whether the friends of Governor
Davis shall unite upon some Democrat
Again, is it fact that there are 81 Dem
ocrats and Liberals in the Legislature!
Have the Anti-Monopolists been swallowd
up? Is there no vestage of that element
left anywhere! And is that element so
obnoxious to the Democrats that they
are bound in every act and utterance to
crush and ignore it; and industriously
vote for simon-pure Democrat, and be
defeated, rather than surrender to any
organization
1t seems that the Democrats do ignore
that universal law that parties have their
birth, maturity and decay, or do they
insist that because their party was ousted
from power upon the issue Of slavery;
that now upon some kindred issue, and
against the administration, with united
South and a divided North they can
come from their grave-yards to power.
And that the Liberals and Anti-Monopo-
: lists were only allies to them for tempo
E rary uses!
If this is the situation predict Wa

it was to the Greeley wave. The real

Wheat Market.
MILWAUKEE, Feb.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. Is, 1875.
The tendency Of the wheat market
during the week has been down.
and decline of l IL cents per bushel
has been established. The feeling
at the close was stronger and indica-
tons point to firmer market Tor the
coming week. Prominent among the
causes of the weakness is the un'
favorable tenor of the New York market.
The extreme cold and the embargo on all
shippiag business from New York are the
chief elements of weakness there. Ar
rivals of California wheat In Liverpool
have been very large, and values have, as
a matter of course, been deprecated, but
the very latest advices report markets
steady at the decline, and cargoes on
passage firm, which is always favorable
Indication Our receipts have been next
to nothing, owing to the snow Dlockaoe'
and the probability is that 1ol
the next two weeks they will
be very small. The unfavor
able weather, the low prices, and the fact
that farmers are no longer pressed to1
money, will all tend to produce small de
liveries. The hog crop has been market
ed at high figures. Barley, oats, ry'
and corn are bringing more per pount
than wheat, and these products will nstu
rally be sold to meet any present want 0
funds, rather than wheat.
The amount of wheat in store is 1,935,OO
bushels.
