Chief Justice Sullivan handed
down a decision last Friday in
which he held that under the Con-
stitution, the present session of the
Legislature was unlimited as to
time and paw of members, Justice
Morgan concurring. Justice Hus-
ton, in dissenting, held that the
session unlimited as to time, but
that the pay Of members could not
exceed $500.
IRRIGATION.
Another attempt to get action on
the water question was made in
the Senate this week. SEN
ator Dempsey, by request intro
duced a bill making the Board
Of Commissioners a court before
which appropriations and users of
water can appear and establish
their right. Owing to the crowded
condition of the House calendar
and the fact the Senate has practi-
cally no bills before it, there is no
reason why some measure should
not pass that body, although the
outlook at present seems hopeless.
ADJOURNMENT.
The Senate has passed resolu-
ton fixing Saturday of this week as
the day for final adjournment. The
House will not concur until some
OF the important measures before
that body have been passed. The
final adjournment will take place
place not later than next week.

thinks they should pay In q fair assess
ment of the actual value of their tangi-
BILE property, their real estate, rolling
stock, ETC., but he and the tax reform
ers oppose any attempt to tax shares Of
stock or mortgage bonds: and they OPP
pose the taxing of mortgages on real
estate, which they say only increases
the interest the farmer has to pay, adj
vocating instead the taxation of mort
gagee and owner as joint tenants.
The formation of a farmers organi.
zation for the distinct purpose of tax
reform is of itself an important move
ment; but that it should be devoting
itself to securing fair assessment OF
wild speculative holdings, and instead
of directing wild and useless efforts TO
reach and tax personal property, should
begin to exempt bonds, stocks and
mortgages, thus going far towards mar
rowing the basis of taxation down to
real estate, is most significant and must
lead to a wide discussion of the single

Whenever or wherever question
comes up which bears on the single tax,
there is always a fiutter. Those who
don't understand what it means are al
ways badly scared when it is mention
ed. Mr.. Fippen, a member of the In
diana legislature, had bill before the
lower house which provided for the
erection by cities of water works, cleo
trio lights, and artificial and natural
gas plants. To raise the money neces-
sary to erect these plants, the bill pro-
posed that ''land" alone be taxed The
bill had passed the house and had been
sent to the senate; but meantime some
one had got it through his head that
taxing land" was the single tax idea,
whereupon he went around the Assem-.
bly, chamber shouting that the Fippen
bill was Henry George" bill He
frightened enough of the members to
get vote through recalling the bill
from the senate, and while the STAN
pede was still on, a motion was put
through to postpone action on it indefi-
nitely. Meantime some of the fright
eped ones will find out what it was they
were voting against.

A st. Paul View of It.

The St. Paul Mimi Globe says that
all the arguments against taxes on per-
sonal property and incomes reduce
themselves to this: s'Men will not pay
taxes on any thing unless they have to,
and will therefore lie and perjure them
selves to be free from their burden. :"
If it be admitted that the states ma
chinery is not adequate to overcome
such an obstacle it declares that ''we
had better abolish the tax on every
thing except real estate at once" be-
cause the present state of affairs in
which ''some people pay something on
some of their property, and others MOTH
ing on any of it" is deplorable and not
to be endured. The Globe reaches a
sound conclusion through false reason
ing. There are better reasons than it
presents for "abolishing the tax on
every thing except real estate;'' but
they go further and warrant the aboli-
ton of all of those taxes on real estate
that fall on buildings or other improve
ments. There are plenty Of sound ar
guments against the taxation of per-
sonal property, but the argument most
likely to commend itself to the favor OF
our Minnesota contemporary is that
taxes on the products of labor tend tc
restrict production, and the same argu'
ment applies to taxes on buildings,
whereas a tax on land values can not
diminish the area of land, and it does
tend to bring large proportion of tbs
existing area into use.

MILK PoIsoNs.
The Dangerous Elements of Ice-Cream
and Pastry.

The Dangerous Elements of Ice-Cream
and Pastry.
We are repeatedly startled by accounts
of the poisoning of number of persons
who are suddenly attacked by illness
after eating food prepared in some
place other than the home. Sometimes
the injurious substance is distributed to
many places from some central locality,
like a caterers or confectioner's estab-
lishment, or numbers partaking of a
hotel dinner, pending some local cele-
bration, are stricken with some mys-
terious illness; or at picnic or church
festival some miscreant is credited with
poisoning ice-cream.
1t may be noted that ice cream and
the so-called ''pastry-cooks' cream" are
more often than any other kind of food
localized as the source of mischief.
This fact is significant. 1t iswell known
to scientific physicians that in milk,
more than in any other animal food
substance, there is field favorable for
the development of those poisons of pu-
trefaction denominated ptomdines.
The use of milk in the three articles
which most often seem to be this source
of danger clearly indicates the sub
stance as the first cause Of trouble.
Scientific investigation of the sickness
produced in widely separated localities
shows identity of symptoms and results,
thus clearly proving its common origin.
This was specified in Berlin by DR..
Brieger, and in America by Prof. c. f..
Vaughn, as an active poison present in
stale milk, cream, and cheese, and now
known as tyrotoxicon. 1t has been
found in sweet milk not properly cooled,
in oysters stewed with milk, in cream
puffs, and in old cheese, thus directly
pointing to its habitat in milk. In most
instances the illness has been traced to
some such condition as the mingling of
milk over day old with that newly
drawn, the use of milk or cream over
twenty-four hours old, the use of uteh-
sis imperfectly cleaned, the use of
milk kept in damp ill-ventilated places
The poisonous elements called pto-
maines accumulate in cans and metal
vessels of all kinds with great rapidity;
a single hour, under favorable condi-
tions, will develop millions of the in
fnitesimal pests.
The boiling of milk while it Is quite
fresh seems to guard against the devel-
opment of the germs of tuberculosis,
and any deleterious matter in so-called
'sblue milk; but this never can be in
viting food. and its use is not advisable,
although it is not known to be positively
harmful. But even boiled milk can
become injurious by being placed in
vessels that are not scrupulously clean.

Maine FarmFrs For Genuine Tax
Reform.

Within the pbst year there has come
TO the front. in Maine political organi-
cation and issue which bids fair to do
much for the single tax movement in that
state. The active spirit of the so-called
tax reform mbvement" there is Mr.. L.
d. Bennett, a lawyer and farmer, now
living at Deerang, ore of the founders
of the state grange, the farmers organ
ization, and the farmers protective
union; the latter organization. in fact,
was formed as Ia direct result of his eff
forts to arouselthe farmers on the SUBJ
iect of taxation. The following extract
from the publications of the Union will
show its object:
Believing that agriculture is the foun-
dation of the slate and nations wealth,
and that the prosperity and happiness
of the people, mot only those who are
directly engag4d in tilling the soil, but
every citizens Of our country, are af-
fected thereby and
Whereas, WE, the farmers of Maine
here assembled, believe that the present
depression in agriculture, the abandon
ment of so manly New England farms,
and so many OF our young men leaving
the paternal slcres, the home of their
bovhood. to SEEK other and more lucra-
tive employment, is in large measure
due to the UNEQUAL and unjust taxation
to which the farmers are compelled to
submit, by ouf present laws, which ex-
cess will amount to more than half a
million dollars annually; therefore
Resolved, That we will give our in
fuence, and earnestly support any legis-
lative measured for the equalization OF
taxation, untillsuch measure shall be

How II Would Work.

w. A. Macleod has issued leafiet
showing the changes that would be
brought about by the establishment of
the single tax in Dorchester, one of the
districts of the city of Boston. Atpres-
ent Boston's taxation is about $40. % on
the thousand dollars Mr.. Macleod
takes this as figure on which to base
his calculations, though, of course, he
points to the fact that if vacant land
were properly assessed, the rate would
be considerably less. He has ascer-
tanned the present taxes on given lots OF
land in the richer Part of Dorchester,
and finds that in many instances the
single tax would be higher than the
rate now paid, whereas he shows that
almost invariably taxes would be lower
ed in district occupied by poorer class
of people In the business districts,
however, taxes would be largely in
creased over those paid now, except in
cases where the buildings are more val
liable than the land. OF course, Mr..
Macleod's figures only deal with local
taxation, but even in this they demon
strate that the present system favors
the rich and imposes undue burdens on
the poor.

ROBINSON CRUsoE, as we all know.
took Friday as his slave. Suppose.
however, that instead of taking Friday
as his slave, Robinson Crusoe had wei.
coined him as man and brother; had
read him a declaration of Independ'
ence, an emancipation proclamation
and fifteenth amendment, and in
formed him that he was free and in
dependent citizen, entitled to vote end
hold Office; but had at the same time
also informed him that that particular
island was his Robinson Crusoe's) pri.
vate and exclusive property. What
would have been the difference? Since
Friday could not fly up into the air MOI
swim off through the sea, since If he
lived at all he must live on the island
he would have been in one case as much
slave as in the other. Crusoe's owner
ship of the island would be equivalent
to his ownership Of Friday.
