Changing the Tax Laws

d. Minneapolis Journal: The Potter
tax tin. which vas introduced into
the senate yesterday. is regarded bv
both houses as Il very meritOrious
measure. 1t proposes to establish a
graduated penalty, for which many
sections of the state are calling. hut
pprh.. DIS the most important feature
has to do with the time of payment
OF delinquent taxes. Under the ex-
listing law, which has been ON the
statute books for many years. the
total amount of the delinquency
must he paid at one time. lfn man
for INSTANCE, is delinquent for five
years ON II certain piece OF real"stnte
he must pay the five years tax at
one time, there being no provision
for partial payments. The Potter
bill provides that Il delinquent may
may at his pleasure pay for any one
uf the delinquent years or for any
series of them. The effect vi the bill,
it is claimed, will be to tighten the
penalty burden upon iel'nquentH.
The Potter bill providing Cor semi
annual payments Of taxes. having
been repurted favurnbly from the
commit tee Ol, taxes AMI tax laws,
will appear on senate general orders
tomorrow, The sentiment in Its
favor il quite strung.

A telegram from Now York says:
The renewed report set aflOAt from
time to time that President j. j.
Hill. Of the Great Northern railroad,
has secured controlling interest In
the Nrrthefn Pacific. railroad cannot
be verified from any authoritative
source in Wall street. The revival Oi
the story at this time attracts no
attention from dealers In railroad
securities, who have had Information
Of such a state of things for several
weeks. as chrOnicled in this report.
General crcdence Is given to the sup
position that the recent heavy tran
sactiOns in Northern Pacific for
German account were designed to
secure sympat hetic administration
Of Northern Pacific and Great North
ern.
IT became known on Feb. that
the bankers syndicate. which under
wrote the Northern Pacific plan of
reorganization, had sold two-thfr''s
OF the stock accruing to 1t to- the
Duetsche bank, OF Berlin. and Others.
The purchasers are recognized as
close friends Of President Hill, and Of
the Great Northern. Northern Pa
cific securities have been dealt In ON
the stock exchange ever since on the
conviction that Herr Hill will hence
forth have an influential voice in the
direction Of Northern Pacific affairs.
This sale was regarded as the culmi-
nation OF a plan for the sympathetic
control of the two roads long in
contemplation and the mutual adj
vantage of which is obvious.

The fire originated IN a.closet un-

The origin of the fire cannot be

while this has been hardship on
