societies, he had thrown himself into
the breach. His somewhat rumbling
account of the whole thing was excess
siyely funny. Capt. Castle explained
that the rules of the board left the
matter of discharge largely in the dis
erection of the commandant, who was
held responsible, and that up to date
no appeal from his decisions had been
made to the board of trustees. At
soldiers homes in other states the
matter was left entirely with the COM
mandantS. In regard to Ellingston's
case, Capt. Castle considered the man
Is per cent irresponsible for his acts;
thought the man was to be pitied but
Mr.. Stoekwell had said he would not
return to the home under any circum-
stances. Capt. Castle explained that
while he had stated privately that ELL
lngston had not been guilty of violation
or the. house rules. he would now say
that, according to Ellingston's own
confession, he had abused the COM
mander In a fragrant manner. Com
mandant Mcmillan testified that the
word "summarily' in Ellingston's dis
charge would have been more satisfac-
tory than the word 'dishonorably;"
that he had neither received or issued
orders requiring the men to march in
the parade.
Capt. Castle and Capt. McCardy had
had asked the men who felt able TO
stand the march to prepare for it. In
spite of this, E1lingston denounced the
whole plan; said he wouldn't march
for anybody. He wanted to make a
test case of 1t and applied for his dis
charge, which was given him, and he
was sent out to get his own clothes.
Mr.. Stockwell urged that the COM
mandant had issued orders in the mat
ter, at which Mr.. Mcmillan stated en-
phatically that he had not, and init
mated that Mr.. Stockwell was attempt
ing to browbeat him. Capt Castle
had developed the fact that Ellingston
had refused to accept an exchange,
and called on Ellingston to refute Mr..
Stockwell's denial of the use of OBJ
jectionable language.
The cost and necessity of the glass
pavilion was next taken up, and Mr..
StockWell called upon Capt. Castle to
explain the purpose of the structure.
This was done, and Capt. Castle said
the pavilion was built for gatherings
of the men, and also with the view OF
giving a place where the veteran or
CARNATIONS could hold their reunions.
1t was the intention later, he said, to
let the privilege to some person to
maintain a booth, wherein the large
number of summer visitors might OBJ
tain light refreshments.
Mr.. Dougherty, the then quarter
master at the home. supplied Mr..
StCckwell with figures which he said
were true copies of the record, show
ing that the pavilion had cost $6,72S.40.
instead Of $4,000 as Capt. Castle had
said. There was some discussion on
this subject, but as the session had
been a protracted one and the house
had a special order for the afternoon
it was decided to hear Capt. Castles
side of it this morning, when the COM
mittee will sit again.

FORCES ARE UNITING.
Opponents of the Capitol Bill Join
AnOka's Friends.

The lobby was active last night and every
effort will be made to bring the capitol fight
to head today. The Ramsey delegation con-
feSsed little fear last evening that there was
any danger of the bill being defeated. and 1t
is said they have counted on thirty-one or
thirty-two votes in full senate in favor OF
the bill The opposition insists that it is not
inimical to the capitol bill that II wants the
money to go into the building and not into
the pockets of the brokers as interest on
bonds.
The opponents of the bill say that if the
Ramsey county delegates hope to line up all
the friends of the Hastings hospital on the
side of the capitol certificate bill they are
counting ON more than they have any reason
to hope for, and they cite the opposition of
Senators lltis and Roverud indicating a
detection that may prove fatal to the hopes
of the Ramsey delegation.
1t is said that the delegation in the sister
city will be evenly divided on the BILL al
though some OF the opposition say that SEN
ator Wyman will stand alone and that he
has pledged his support to the capitol bill,
in return for the pledge OF support for his
university appropriation, which, as soon as
the present deficit is cleared up, will give the
university additional fund of about $780,
0C0 a year. on the basis OF the present vaiu-
alton. The opponents of this bill insist that
it would be better to make deficiency APP
preparation for this institution than to en-
dow it with this annual stipend so lar in
needs. The fight will, no doubt, develop
when the bill reaches the calendar tomorrow
into a contest between the higher and the
common school educations. and unless the
combination which Senators Iltis and Rove
rud charged exists should be strong enough
to carry both bills through, there may be
general shaking up of the appropriations
for the university and normal school and like
institutions before the session is ended.
1t is proposed to fight out the Hastings
hospital bill today if the placing Jf the capitol
bill at the head of general orders does not
prevent its being reached.
The shrievalty scandal in Minneapolis has
renewed the proposition to put the sheriff
on salary. The Hennepin delegation has
given it out that it is prepared to act on the
matter favoraby if presented. member Of
the delegation made inquiries about the status
of the matter, and discovered that no bill
had been drawn, but one will be.
The Judges of the district court have been
questioned in regard to the matter, and as
a rule they favor it. One Of them goes so
far as to say that the bill should be not only
PASSED but should be made operative immedi-
ately otter its passage. He does not see any
reason why there should be a wait until after
the present incumbent goes out Of office.
Arrangements are being made TO have a
bill drawn which will fix a salary at S., COO
ger year, and, if it is presented, there is
every reason to believe that the delegation
will favor it.

FOR THE SINGLE TAX.
Local Option Bill Proposed by Tax
RefOrmers.

The Minnesota Tax Reform association,
which includes a number of members of the
legislature in its advisory committee, has pre-
pared the following tax bill. which 1t will
endeavor to have passed at the present legis-
lative session:
A bill for an act to so amend section three
81 of article nine 60 Of the Constitution Of
the state of Minnesota, as to enable the
voters OF any county, city, village or town
ship. by majority vote. to reduce taxes upon
improved lands and increase taxes on lands
held idle, by exempting improvements.
Be 1t enacted by the Legislature of the State
of Minnesota:
Section l. The following amendment to
section. three go of article nine 90 OF the
Ssnnstjtution NJ the state OF Minnesota ia
hereby proposed to the voters OF the state
that is to say that said section three 80
shall be amended by adding thereto the fol-
lowing proviso:
Provided That the electors Of any county
city village or township of the state may, at
any general election or town meeting, by a
majority OF al the votes cast in such coun-
ty, city, village or township, exempt from
taxation. for local purposes only, all build
ings and structures and other improvements
being and situated in such county. city, village
or township.
Other sections provide for submission to
the people.
In advocacy of IL they say:
Our present system of taxation. instead OF
encouraging hampers annoys and burdens
the Industrious citizen.
We do not ask that the holder Of idle land
De SUBJECTED 10 CUMULATIVE TAX as Was uOu6
four years ago in New Zealand, but we do
ask that he who puts his land 70 use shall
no longer have his taxes increased for every
Improvement he makes
In fact we do not even ask the legislature
to take this responsibility; but We do ask
them to frame and submit an amendment to
the constitution that will enable the people
to vote on this matter.
This amendment can in no way assist any
county or district to escape any part Of its
present share of state taxes; as we do not
propose to change that clause of the consti-
tuition requiring all property to be listed and
returned as the basis for apportionment Of
state taxes among the counties and county
taxes among the cities, villages and town

the meetings were very satisfactory.
The first paper was by Mrs. Cray,
president of the Minneapolis board, on
Day Schools for the Deaf" She held
That such schools were much more sat
isfactory in results than state schools.
They should be located at the centers
as needed, and under the management
Of local boards. Such are more eco
nomical and the children defective in
their faculties are left under the fam
lily relations with parental love and
care that are so essential to the hap
piness and good of such children. The
details of expense, management and
experience Of such schools were quite
eXhaustively discussed by Mrs Cray,
and following her paper the whole sub
ject was freely and generally debated
by the meeting. Following this a reso-
ution was unanimously adopted rec
Ommending the day system to the leg
islature.
w. w. Pendergast, state superin-
tendent, was unavoidably absent. His
subject, How Shall We Support Our
oCDOOiS WAS taken up, however, Tor

eral talk on taxes debt. etc, very in
teIesting and useful.
In the evening the presidents adj
dress was read by Prof. Cooper, OF
Mortified, who was followed by Will

on the relation of the board to the pu-
pill. It ives. as Mr. Alton, inspector
of high schools, said modest paper.

that was useless than any paper he
had heard for years. 1t was thorough
ly practical and progressive.

lation of the normal to the public
school in practical manner, giving to
all q much clearer and truer knowledge
of the work of the normal schools.

Eugene Engley, the attorney general
under Waite, is the nrst on the list says
the Republican. Among the big batch
of measures he introduced yesterday was
one to abolish oaths in the state because
the name of the Aim ghty has to be used
and that is Objectionable to the man
whose egotism becomes distressing to
the state at times. Engley believes in
nothing natural or supernatural but HIM
self.
Not content with this insult to the com
mon intelligence the first and only Pop
ulist attorney general the state had to
suffer brought forth another to abolish
the observance of Sunday by imposing
fines on those who do not look upon it as
holiday.
