RAID PLANNEDON U.S., TREASURY
Congress Will be Asked to Refund
War Income Tax.
Decision OfSupreme Court Wrecks Taxing
Power of GOVernment-Am mendment
to Constitution is in Order.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Off.
cials of the Internal Revenue Office
have been looking into the subject
of a return of money collected un-
der the operations of the Income
Tax law before it was repealed in
1872. The act remained on the
statute books for nearly twelve
years, from 1868 to 1874, although
it was repealed in 1872. During
the twelve years the total collec-
tions under the law aggregated
$346, ,980,000. The exemption was
$500 per annum. The greatest
amount collected in any one year
was in 1866, when the Collectors of
Internal Revenue returned $73,-
100000.
It is admitted that the prospects
are bright for series of litigations,
which may become as celebrated as
the French Spoliation claims.
While those who paid the tax un-
der the law of 1872 will have no
standing in court if they attempt
to recover moneys illegally col
lected from them they clearly have
an equitable right to return of
the money, and it is expected that
a move will be made on Congress
as soon as it meets, looking to the
necessary legislation to authorize
the Treasury to pay the amounts
collected.
1t is not likely, however, that
this move will be successful for
many years to come, if it ever is,
but $4,000 or $4,000 paid in un-
der the income tax clause of the
Wilson bill will be repaid as soon
as the preliminaries are completed,
as Treasury officials have decided
that no Congressional authority is
necessary to enable them to do this.

of the soil, to make the native
population an easy prey to the
greed and selfshness of the liquor
seller especially by the introduc-
ton Of the deleterious saki), to re-
lax the obligations of purity and
decency, give the willy and un-
scrupulous kahuna the fullest op-
portunity to ply his nefarious occu-
patton, were some of the causes
specified. But out against these
the speaker held up the new oppor-
tunities, the fuller privileges for
better and higher education as
chief among the reasons for thank
fulness and hopefulness. The ad-
dress closed with an earnest ap-
peal to the young men and women,
in whose hands is the future of the
race, to emulate the noble example
of those Hawaiians who have won
deserved commendation for their
efforts in cooperation with the
missionaries to build on these ISL
ands homes for happy families,
dwelling in security and prosperity,
devout, diligent, intelligent and
entertaining.
The whole address, as it was
given in Hawaiian, in which Ian
guage Chief Justice Judd is one of
the few acknowledged experts, will
be published in connection with
the annual report of the Hawaiian
Board.

RHIN9 And RIVER.
The swan. River Overlooking
p. Ito Banko-Lumber e
s7 Situation. 4

The recent rains have very much
improved the condition of the Mis-
sissippi and tributaries, and the
present stage of water 10 SO much
higher thanit was week ago that
1t gratities lumber aud mill men.
Swan River has overhow we'd, and is
causing some trouble on this ac-
count. The Pine Tree company
expects to run the mills all the STA
son from now on. but the condition
of the streams varies 80 much this
year that it is impossible to be GER
tain of anything. The company in
tends to remodel the East side plan
ing mill and place in. much new
machinery. 1t will be some time, how
ever, before the mill will he in work
ing order. The condition OF the lum-
Der trade Ia excellent, orders coming
in well, and prices holding their
own. 1t requires but the assurance
of a good depth of water through
out the season to make things
bright, and II we have few more
weeks like the past there will be no
doubt ON that point. !

A Side Issue.

Attempts are often made to at
tract public attention from the real
question or issue to some PROPOSE
ton that has no connection with the
question. At present the managers
of the First wards interests are
using the absurd yarn that some
West side interests are at t;efounda-
ton of the attempt to prevent the
removal of the depot south Of Broad
way. No such interests are taking
any part in the discussion, or can be
affected in any way. The sugges-
ton of the railroad company was
for the depot north Of Broadway.
and no other location was con-
sidercd uhtil d location south OF
Broadway was demanded by alder
men who live in the First ward.
When that change was proposed q
protest was made, and then it was
at once heralded that private in
terests prompted the protest. Any
one who will be deceived by such
nonsense il very gullible.
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1895-06-07
The Depot Location.

So F. Pop.
A correspondent ("First Warder")
in the Democrat and the Herald
discuss the depot location this week
in style that IL astounding. He
sses everything in = personal light,
and from the name he assumes 1t ts
natural that he should denounce
selfishness. He trots out the Elec-
trio & Water Co. "Bogie Man." and
tells about that corporations "re-
atty interests" The argument Is
first class-except that the E.. & W.
company doesn't own foot of land
anywhere, and can have no other
interest in the depot discussion than
to have the improvements, as the
company will have a good patron
for water for the locomotives and
light for the depot.
The Herald laments the throwing
OF cold water on the plan, and sees
something awful in the conduct of
the Transcript. The railroad COM
pany's choice in the matter was to
have the depot at Broadway on the
north side of the street, and the de-
mand for q change came from First
ward aid erman. That objection
was made to the use Of the First
ward "pull' was apparently q cline.
The Herald proceeds to discuss the
effect of vacating First avenue
northeast and dwells on the result
of such an attempt. AS no one ever
before considered the vacating of
First avenue northeast, the Herald
can doubtless babble on without
jeopardizing the public interests that
are 80 dear to it.
The general public would be
pleased to have the depot located at
the point suggested by the railroad
officials on Broadway north of the
street. The strength of the First
ward in the city council should not
be successful in trading public rights
for private interests.
The Democrat OF this week comes
near sizing the matter up when it
says:
''There is no reason why the city
should give away its streets just be-
cause few people at the. junction of
First street and First avenue south
east want Il depot on the latter
street, and the residents Of the
various streets should think twice
before signing petition to tie
streets to crafty the ambition Of
those few people,
