The income tax law has been decid-
ed by the Supreme Court to be un-
constitutional in that the Government
has not power to levy a tax on in
comes from real estate or upon State
and municipal bonds. This decision
cuts off one-half of the revenue expect
ed to be derived from this odious law.
The Court was equally divided as the
remainder Of the law and it will stand
until another case is brought, when
in all probability it will all go.

A "Vice Versa" Case.

If the editor of the Statesman will
inquire Of the officials of the Kilbourn
company he will learn that wool has
not only not increased in price but
that wool can now be bought cheaper
than ever before. Without quoting
prices, we state that within the past
two weeks wool has been bought
much cheaper than ever before, in fact
no reasonable offer is rejected. AS
this company is by far the largest
consumer of wool in this valley there
is no better authority on the subject.
1t is true that we see the reports of
the commercial agencies each week
and it is also true that we have not
been able to see wherein there has
been any advance in the price of do
nestle wool. 1t is true, however, that
Australian wool is in demand and
large quantities of wool, secured and
cleaned IN France, have been sold In
this country, but we fail to see where
in American woolgrowers are benefit
ed thereby.
If the old Democratic cry of over
production has any virtue in it surely
the importation of vast quantities of
foreign wool must add to the overpro-
duction and reduce the price of the
homegrown wool.
Dun's weekly review, Apr, 5, says;
Sales of wool reflect the renewed
confidence of manufacturers as strikes
are out of the way, for 6,675, 100
pounds were sold last week, against
2,64S, 200 last year. No rise in prices
is Seen or expected in view of heavy
sales and receipts of foreign wool"

Wherever you go around town or

larging their business places, and res
licences being painted up and repaired
Never in the history Of the town was
there so much work being done in the
line of building and repairing and
other improvements. So with the oil
business. Hundreds of teams are GO
ing out to the front every day with
rig timbers, casing, boilers, engines,
and every thing that goes to drill and
operate oil wells. We surely have a

A very safe platform for next year
would be tariff to protect American
producers from undue competition
with foreign products, a law to re-
strict immigration in order to protect
American labor, and free coinage of sill
yer with tariff on silver equal to the
seigniorage. Such a platform would
carry almost every State in the Union
and inaugurate an era of prosperity
such as was never before known.

were not aware that there are any

there may be. The Register has done

According to John Jarrett there are
thirty-four tin-plate works in this
country complete and in course OF con-
struction. American tin-plate is no
longer myth as it was in the days of
McKinleyism and taxed raw material,
but is an established industry of
healthy growth and a monument to
the wisdom of the Democratic pol
icy. Wheeling Register.
This is gall of the most monumen-
tai size and sort. If it had not been
for Republicanism and Nc Kinleyism
there would not have been tin plate

Democrats said that we could not
make tin-plate in this country and
kept on saying it even after many
successful works were in operation.
They cannot claim a single square
foot of tin-plate as the outgrowth of
Democratic policies, and the Register
is the only paper in the United States
that has had the nerve to do so up to
date. State Journal.

Beavers at Work.

A telegram from st. Cloud to the
Minneapolis Journal says: j. B.
Jacquemart, a st. Cloud sportsman,
while hunting in the vicinity of Rock
lake, in Benton comfy, found ON d
small creek Il partially completed
beaver dam. Mr.. Jadquemart
made careful examination OF the
work that had been done by these
sagacious and Industrious night
workers. and found that they had
all eady raised the water in the small
stream two feet. A short distance
up the creek he found the stumps OF
a large number of ash trees that had
been cut down Nv the beavers. Some
of these trees We're found four to six
inches in diameter, and not a yes iEe
of the boughs or trunks were Left on
tn" ground. In the bottom of the
pond made by the dam across the
creek. parts of the trunks of the trees
were laid in an orderly way. A.
though a great many of these beaver
dams are still to be seen in this part
of the state. 1t was thought that the
last beaver had long ago disappeared
before the advance of civilization.
