CITY HALL LACONICS.

4 One of the points made by the com ptroller
in the Seeger gasoline lighting contract is
that the city council has no power to make a
contract for longer period than two years.
1t is only few days ago that the contract
with the Bethel association to furnish free
baths for a period of ten years was counter
signed by the comptroller without muir
muir.
A copy of the photograph of the officers
ard patrolmen at the central station, taken
last week. will be sent to the German exhibit
at the worlds fair by Capt. Schweitzer as
soon as finished.
The statement made by Comptroller Nc
Cardy that the books and cash in the treas
urer's office are balanced and checked by
him daily, and that the treasurer pays all
warrants by checks on the various banks, Is
calculated to relieve greatly the strain on
Conrad's bondsmen.
Another monthly report has been made by
the police department without any reference
being made as to the amount of property re-
ported stolen ana recovered. This would in
dictate that the detectives had recovered none
of the valuables stolen during the past
month, but such is not the case. Several
ICON" men, who claim they were obliged to
make good money they had won shaking
dice, could testify to the recovery OF quite a
chunk of coin if they dared.
The police matron brought over from Still
water by Chief Garvin has not unpacked her

"A VERY LONG WAY AHEAD.

The last man in this country whom
any one would pick out for dreamer is
that busy man of affairs and iron ard
steel. ANDREW CARNEGIE. There was
nothing in the rather superlative style
of "friumphant Democracy" to suggest
it, nor in the flowerv letters he wrote
descriptive of coaching tour through
the bosky dells of England. But in the
North American for this balmy June
Mr.. CARNEGIE drops his life among
figures and hard facts, and dreams of
the time when there will be reunion
of England and the United States and
possible federation of all the Eng
disappearing peoples of the world under
one government.
AS if feeling that the longest jump
must be preceded by a run to gather the
needed momentum. Mr.. CARNEGIE goes
back hundred years and more to quote
from the men of those days their prot.
estations of loyalty to old England for
his starting point, from which he runs
to the present and makes a spring into
futurity, where the sundered ties are
again united in the "British-American
Union." He marshals his material for
his dream with skill. and arranges it to
give thes semblauce of strength; but.
after all, it is but dream of what can
never be. further than with the growth
OF tolerance and dininution Of racial
prejudices. with the spread of the spirit
of the brotherhood of man. there will
come a better appreciation, closer
community of interests, to aid which
similarity of speech will be potent.

PENSIONS FORINJURIEs.

Judge SHIRAs' plan of pensioning in
terestlng. He would have those who
are entitled to personal damages placed
upon pension of certain amount
month, instead of being paid for injury
all in one lump. Judge SHIRAs is in
position to be a valuable authority upon
the subject. He says that fully a fourth
of the trials in the federal courts are
personal Injury cases, and that the
average cost to the railroads in these is
$1,000, and that out of verdict of $1,000
the defendant receives an average OF
$1,000, after paying his attorney and
other attending costs.
The interest on the $4,000 would be
S640 per annum. while the interest upon
the $1,000 would be but $40 per annum.
Thus it Is apparent that the railroad
could pay pension of $50 month and
gain $40 year, while the injured party
would gain $3.50 a year. At s25 month
the railroad would gain $3.50 a year,
and the injured party $50 year. Both
sides would make a material gain on the
average.
But the injured man would gain in
another way vastly more than the diff
ference between the intefeSt on $4,000
and the pension of S25 or $50. In the
great majority of cases the railway en-
ploye who receives his $4,000 in cash
spends it all inside of two or three
years, as estimated by Judge SHIRAs.
IL &c off than hnfnrp for hQ
has contracted expensive habits, and is
without the ability to indulge himself
further.
The large majority of these men are
able to contribute to some extent to their
own support, and with S25 month pen
sion they could live comfortably through
life.
If the states adopted pension laws it
would relieve the courts, both federal
and state, of vast amount OF business,
and be great saving of public expense.
Judge SHIRAS thinks that gradu-
ated system of pensions could be de-
vised which would be very satisfactory
TO all parties. In case the railway could
not come to a satisfactory agreement
with the injured party as to the amount
of pension, he would have the matter
referred to the railway commissioners.
they to act as arbiters. Their finding
he would have made first lien upon all
the railway properties, to be paid above
every other obligation. 1t is something
of a question, however, as to whether
it would not be just as we'll to have
court and jury determine what the pen
sion should be.
The plan is worthy of great deal of
careful consideration and discussion.
That it would work a great benefit to
injured employees and be material
saving to the railways seems very clear
The point which is not so clear is, what
would be the best way of determining
the amount of pension.

Death of an Old Settler.

John McHattie died yesterday morning
at the ripe old age of eghty-four years
and five months. He was in his usual
good health until some three weeks ago.
when be took to his bed and died of old
age without any apparent suffering.
Mr.. McHattie was born in Scotland in
1909, emigrated to Canada in 1888. and
after spending some time there and in
Vermont. New York, Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois looking for haven of rest and
place to make final settlement, came
to Gray Cloud island, few miles south
of st. Paul. in 1910. In 1S41 he made a
claim where the village of Alton now
is. this county, In the summer of
1914 he made claim here, where he has
since lived and died. He was a very
quiet, unaSsuming man without all
enemy in the world, farmer, good
husband and father. He was married
in 1916 to Miss Jane Middleton, who
survives him, also one son and four
daughters. The funeral will occur
Monday at 10 a. III.

CHILDS' DECISION.

The people Of the state now have the
opinion of Attorney General CHILDs for
proof that, when number of Repub-
lican Legislators last winter defeat
ed the passage of the bill to
cut down the coal tariff from Du-
luth to st. Paul by securing the adop-
ton of joint resolution referring the
matter to the railway commissioners,
they were acting in the interests of the
railway companies.
The attorney general holds that the
resolution does not enlarge the powers
of the railway commissioners, and that
they cannot now, any more than they
could before, alter the tariff rates ex-
cept upon complaint filed with them.
The complaint must be filed by some
party who processes to be aggrieved. The
commissioners then give notice to the
accused railway of the day On which
the matter will be heard, and on that
date the matter is tried as a case in
court.
Mr.. CHILDs says that the resolution
''can have no force or effect whatever
in changing or modifying the laws of
the state" The resolution is, then. a
useless provision. The legislative rep
resentatives of the railways fed mess
of empty chaff to few weaklings to
satisfy their longing for reduction of
the extorti0nate coal rate. The legisla-
tors who saw the emptiness of the reso-
lition tried to make it as clear to the
weaklings; but the pretty speeches Of
the railway contingent caught them,
and they voted against the bill reducing
the rate, and for the resolution.
Some of them no doubt thought that
the passage Of the resolution would fir
up somebody to make complaint, and
the railway men believed just as fir My
that the resolution would be forgotten
in few weeks. and that that would be
the end Of the matter.
| 1t is not the intention of this paper to
| let it be forgotten. 1t shall be kept
fresh in the public mind, until some
one steps to the front and makes the
complaint, and the commissioners make
square decision.
The coal rate from Duluth to st. Paul
is Sl.50 ton. The bill introduced in
the legislature provided for reduction
OF so cents ton. The average freight
car holds twenty tons of coal, and a
freight engine will haul from Duluth to
| st. Paul, at speed of from fifteen to
twenty miles an hour, twenty cars full
of coal. Thus a trainload of coal will
earn for the C company 5000 in less than
ten hours. This is rolling up money at
a pretty lively rate. 1t is rate which
monopoly alone can make possible.
1t IS to be hoped that some one will
step to the front with courage enough
to bring the matter before the com mis-.
| sionerS and prosecute it to the end,

HOW TO TAX THE RICH.

The underlying mOtlVe OF the al
vocates of an income tax is to
reach the rich who evade the
taxes levied directly on their property
by the states and bear part of the
federal tax wholly disproportionate to
their means, based, as it is. on their
consumption. Except so far as this is
of imported articles of luxury, so far as
it is of those articles of common neceS-
sity, the wealthy pay but little more tax
than do the poorer people. 1t is to
remedy this obvious injustice that an
income tax is proposed.
The objection to the income tax, con-
ceding its propriety as democratic
method of taxation, is that it is almost.
if not quite, as easily evaded as is the
direct tax on their personality. Like
that, it offers premium equal to the
whole amount thus evaded for the
effort spent in Guiding the taX-gatherer.
The most drastic laws designed to reach
the elusive kinds of personal property
have proven to be failures, inviting con-
tempt for the ease with which they are
escaped. Is it to be expected that in a
country where incomes are so little
fixed, so dependent on multitu de of
vicisSitudes, an incom e tax would not
meet the same resultb The tax on the
product of diStilleries, which can only
be collected by the closest supervision
of tax agents during all the processes Of
manufacture, should teach this.
Ifitlbe conceded that it is desirable in
republic to single out class differen-
tiated by their wealth as distinct sub
jects for taxation, then our tariff and
excise tax experience suggests the
course to pursue. The strength OF a
tariff or excise tax is the fatal ease of
its collection, owing to the merger of
tax in cost. The internal revenue tax
on liquors and tobacco would not stand
year if the consumer paying for each
drink or cigar were obliged to give the
cost of the product to the seller and the
tax part to the collector.
The obviously easier and more certain
way, then, is to lay taxes Oh what the
rich buy as rich people. Lay sWinge-
ing tax on all imports of what may justly
be termed Injuries; limit free apparel
to small value; then, in order that all
gain from increased cost shall go into
the treasury, lay an excise on all home
manufactures of the same kind of goods
equal to the impost. If silks and satins
are taxed LOO or 200 per cent if imported,
tax the manufacturer in this country
the same on his product. 1t will make
no difference to him; it adds but one
more element to cost of material. which
will merge in price and be paid by the
consumer in blisstul ignorance that he
is paying tax.
Whenyou thus increase the cost of
articles which the fancied necessities of
the rich oblige them to buy, you tax
their incomes as surely and vastly more
effectively than if you attempt to lay
the tax on the net income itself. You
lay the tax at the source of income, and
make sure of getting it before the in
come is determined And, happiest re-
suit of all for those who regard revenue
and discard principle, you pluck your
latest geese without making them
quack.

governmental relations could be solved.

governmental relations could be solved,
if pride and prejudice OF nationallsm
could be overcome, if all the objections
he meets and tries to answer could be
obviated, still reunion would be I'M
possible because we are not becoming
Angliclzed, but are developing COM
posite race out Of all the heterogeneous
races that have made and are making
their homes in this great kneadlng
trough Of the nations. Sturdy as Is
the Anglo-Saxon stock from which the
nation sprung. strong yet as its lnnu-
enceS are, it cannot but be changed by
the infusion of the blood and thought
of the people Of other nations with
which it is amalgamating. we can see
that it is yet virile enough to asSlmllate
more or less completely the foreign ele-
ment with which it has been deluged,
and in the crossing Of nations it will as
sert its prepotency. But, out OF the IN
termixture of racial characteristics
going on in this country on scale the
world never before saw, there is sure 10
be evolved a new type distinctlvely
American.
England must remain what she is. Ii
during the centuries there has been no
blending into one race of the four dis
tinct peoples of the islands, the CEN
turtles to come can give no promise OF IT.
Nor will the density of population there
afford room for the incoming of the
same peoples who come to us so as TO
produce by similar amalgamatlon
like change to that going on here. The
result will be that England will remain
stationary in the characteristics OF her
people, while we are changing and de-
veloping a new type, between whom and
the old mother country there will be
racial difference so pronounced as to
prevent any unifcation. We can hy-
phenate nations, as Austria-Hungary,
but we cannot blend the peoples. Mr..
CARNEGIE's vision of the future Is an
iridescent dream.
