THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS

The st. Paul Chamber of Commerce,
at very full meeting yesterday morn
| ing, expressed its opinion about the
second of the proposed constitutional
amendments which are to be voted on
at the coming election. This is the
amendment which is concerned with
the taxation of railroad companies and
other corporations. The chamber. with
out dissenting voice, recommended its
rejection by the people.
The GLOBE has discussed this subject
many times III its columns, but it can
not discuss it too often. The history OF
constitutional amendments in this state
shows that unless they are fought with
vigor they will be adopted, no matter
how vicious they may be. The average
citizen pays no attention to them, ana
when he goes to the polls he votes yes
because he sees no reason for any other
course.
The second of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments which are under
consideration this fall is dangerous
measure, and must 'be defeated at all
hazards. AS the laws now stand, the
railroads of Minnesota pay into the state
treasury. in lieu of all other taxation,
sum equivalent to per cent of their
gross earnings for the year. In 1892 the
state derived revenue from this source
alone of sS9i,091. Should the system re-
main undiSturbed, before long 1t will
furnish an annual fund of more than a
million dollars, and provide for all the
running expenses of the states govern
ment, without the necessity of eXacting
any contributions whatever from private
individuals.
1t is against the permanence OF this
system that the second proposed amend
ment is aimed. Today the legislature
has no authority to repeal or nullify the 8
per cent tax except with the concurrence
of a majority of the people expressed
at general election. If the amend
ment is adopted, this check OH legis-
lative action will be removed, and the
railroad companies will only have to
control a single legislature in order to
relieve themselves from this heavy
burden, which proves so profitable to
the state. The prize would be so great
that they would stop at 10 means to Sc
cure it. 1t would not be safe to expose
any legislature to the temptation of
corruption fund of 81 100000. The pres
ent system is too valuable to be tam
pered with at all. The people must see
to it that the amendment is rejected.
The GLOBE urges the speakers of all
parties to discuss this question at all
political gatherings between now and
election day. Its Importance cannot be
oyereStimated, and unless the voters are
appraised of the situation their very
ignorance will result in the amend
ment's adoption. The GLOBES advice
to every one is to vote as he pleases
about the first-proposed amendment,
and to vote no as to the second one. But
if, when he comes to prepare his ballot,
he feels any uncertainty as to which is
which, let him vote no on both. A mill
ion dollars year is at stake on this
issue.

CANTON, Mimi, Oct. 3l.-The Church

The much-heraldeda and long-expected
comedy-farce "Jane" opened to large
audience at the Metropolitan last night
for weeks engagement, ''Jane" is
funny. In fact, it is about as funny as
a play can be. All the Imaginable COM

The play IS all that has been
claimed for it, but the company is
not at all equal to it. The title role,
played by Miss Grace Sherwood, is in
competent hands. Master Arthur Boy
Ian as Claude is a wonderfully clever
juvenile, but the rest of the players are
of only average ability. Herbert For
tier lacks expression and versatility as
Charles Shakleton. The William of ALT
Fisher is well and evenly played, but
lacks polish. AL Harris is consistent
and conscientious as Mr.. Kershaw. The
supporting characters are .passable.
The company is distinctly not worthy
of the play, but for all that the performs
ance is well worth seeing. "ChEms."

Where judgment is reversed solely

OF simple reversal is to send the case
