Too Much.

TOLEDO, o., June 5.-A financial crash
which has been expected for some time has
come. Colonel Isaac d. Smead, the founder
and head of the twenty or more heating and
ventilating concerns bearing his name,
stated that he was pauper.
Colonel Smead was one of the leading
spirits in Toledo enterprise and generosity.
He gave literally to everything that came
along, and also contributed heavily toward
republican campaign funds. He was close
friend of Ex-Governor Foster, and is said to
have helped that gentleman out of his em-
barrassment few years ago. He was colo
mel on the governors staff. Mr.. Smead's
greatest source of loss has boon in Florida,
where he had invested heavily in orange
groves. They proved almost total loss.
HIS capital became scattered among various
enterprises and in trying to save himself, he
became hopelessly involved. His failure is q
a blow to the city and he has the general
sympathy. 1t is believed that it will require
half million dollars TO set everything right.
The company which has control of the fac
tories expects to pull the business through
all right.

"First Papers" do Not Make Legal Voters.
ST. PAUL, MINI, June 2.-The United
States court of appeals, with Judges Sanborn,
Thayer and Shiras on the bench, handed
down an important decision, limiting the
power of naturalization TO the national con-
yress. The case came from Minnesota and
Judge Sanborn announced the decision con-
irming the lower court.
1t is held that the power granted to con-
gress by the constitution of the United States
to establish uniform rule of naturalization,
is exclusive, and the naturalization laws en-
acted by congress in the exercise of this
power constitute the only rule by which
foreign subject may become a citizen of the
United States, or of state, within the mean
ing of the federal constitution and laws.

interest on Tax sale Cert,ffc.t-.


ToPEKA. june 3.-The attorney generals
Office has gwen IN opinion regarding the
rate Of interest on tax sale certificates. It
is this:
As to ,he rate of interest now collectable ON
outstanding tax sale certificates, will say
that the law relating to the redemption of
land sold for taxes is part of the remedy for
the collection of taxes and the obligations
of the owner of the land covered By the tax
sale certificate are purely statutory. There
are no contractual relations between the
owner of the land sold and the holder of
the tax sale certificate. 1t can not be said
that change in the law made after the sale
and the issuance OF a tax sale certificate
reducing the rate of interest payable on the
redemption of real estate sold for taxes inn
pairs the obligations of contract or affects
any vested rights of the holder of q tax sale
certificate. The high rate of interest which
must be paid by the owner of the land, sold
for taxes In order to redeem the same, is in
the nature of penalty and can be changed
at any time by the legislature without dis
turbing any vested rights or impairing
The obligations of a contract. A repeal
of statute authorizing the collection of
such penalty works remission of the pen
atty. See, Black on Tax Titles, Sec $50;
60 Indiana, Flynn Va. Parsons ct al, 573; "a
Federal Reporter, Smell Va. Campbell, $50.
We must therefore conclude that as the
rate of interest which outstanding tax sale
certificates draw under the law under which
they were issued is in the nature of pen
atty and subject to the control of the legis-
lature, the legislature had the power to
change the law and reduce the rate of in
terest which such certificate should draw
and that such change or reduction applies
to certificates outstanding at the time of the
taking effect of the new law as we'll as to
certificates issued in the future and that all
outstanding tax sale certificates will now
draw "a per cent. interest up to the time
of the taking effect of the new law and Is
per cent. interest thereafter, up to the time
of redemption.
