UNIFORM GAME LAWS.

It is an excellent Idea that the game
commissioners Of the states of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
the Dakotas should get together and
agree upon a system Of uniform game
laws for these communities. No state
is now so careless of its interests as to
go without some provision to prevent
the indiscriminate slaughter Of its
game. Minnesota Is more interested
in this than any of her neighbors, te-
cause she is blessed with the most
splendid natural preserves. The deer of
our northern forests, the grouse of our
prairies and the fish of our lakes and
streams are more abundant and ex-
cellent than the game supply Of any
other spot on the face of the earth that
has been redeemed from the wilder
ness. In order to preserve this, which
is at once a resource and an attraction,
it has been found necessary to pre-
vent the catching of fish and the kill
ing Of game, except under such restric-
tons as will guard them from utter OK
termination.
These restrictions ought to be
uniform for a community Of con-
tiguous states. 1t is extremely absurd
that it should be legal to shoot snipe
or to catch black bass in Wisconsin
and illegal in Minnesota on the same
day Of the year. Sportsmen who go
from a distance generally extend their
hunting tours through two or more
states, and their sport is curtailed if
they are met at the boundary line with
legal writ Of prohibition. Moreover,
there is no sense in these divergent
regulations. If it is a good thing for
one of these states to have a definite
open and closed season, there is no
reason why that identical rule should
not be applied to all the others.
The game laws Of the different states
are in a state Of continuous revolu-
tended or restricted with every ses-
sion Of a state legislature. The condi-
tons Of game life in the Northwest are
now sufficiently known, and we have
had enough experience with different
laws and regulations to be ready to es-
tablish permanent rules for game pro-
| lection. We hope that the suggested
meeting OF commissioners from these
! states will take place and lay a basis
| for a sensible system of fish and game
laws, to be adopted and made perma-
nent for the whole Northwest.

TOO HEAVY A BURDEN.

In the great desire to increase rev
enue so as to correspond with too
liberal expenditure, the careful eye of
the state searches for hitherto unap
propriateed schemes of taxation. The
anxiety to have more revenue also
fathers the thought that a few mere
feathers can be plucked from the geese
that are already partially stripped,
without, perhaps, too violent an out
cry. This seems to be the idea Of
some of the bills that have been PRO
posed and are now under consideration
for raising the rate Of taxation on in
surance companies doing business in
Minnesota from to or even 4 per
cent. 1t is possible that some increase
Of the present rate might be made, al
though there is scarcely any state in
the Union which now imposes a heavier
tax upon this particular class Of fran
chise than ours. We say a tax upon
franchise, because this is virtually what
taxes on any property that they may
own in the state. and the additional
revenue which they pay is a
tax upon their privilege OF doing
business. But it does Seem clear that
any such tax rate as 4 per cent would
be an injustice and out of proportion to
what is paid by other forms Of prop
erty and other industries.
1t is to be borne in mind that most
insurance companies differ from other
corporations, in that they have a 1nu-
tua1 feature if their business is not en-
tirely on the mutual plan; that is to
say, that, after the business FOR the
year is summed up and the expenses
of doing it are paid, either the total let
gain or the larger share of it, after Pro-
viding the proper reserve for securi-
ty. is divided among the policyholders
in the shape Of dividends or bonuses
Now. whatever the business has to lay
additional to the state will be sub
tracted from its profits and so from
the receipts of those who are insured
Thus the incidence of the tax is not
upon the company itself as a corpora
ton, but upon the multitude Of people
whose lives it insures, aud from whose
payments it VIII take away something

WHO PAYS FOR THE WHEAG
Wareh ousc Commission Has an In

The railroad and warehouse commission

to the attention of the commission by w. F.

last August he was threshing. He delivered
his wheat as fast as it was threShed to the

Reisland, instead Of accepting a receipt in
full for the wheat when it was all
delivered, accepted due bills made
out by one Gerhard, agent for the company.
as fast as each consignment was delivered.
When all of his threshing was over. Mr..
Reisland found by his due bills that he had
delivered 772 bushels. Afterwards he pre-
scented the bills to the elevator company,
which corporation informed him that he had
been dealing with their agent, Gerhard, as
a person, not with the Interstate Elevator
company. Gerhard, in the meantime, had left
the company's employ. The plaintiff says
he informed the company that the due bills
made out by Gerhard were supposed to have
been made out for the company but the
latter declined TO take that view of the case

Mr.. james j. HIPS Folly.

New York Times.
From the protectionist point Of view James
]. Hill, president of the Great Northern
railroad, is a most narrow-minded person, to
say nothing of his being selfish and IN
American. He has written to a senator prac-
tically asking that the tariff shall not make
imports from China and Japan any more ex-
pensive than they now are The reason he
assigns is that by his energy and foresight
he has built UP an export trade in wheat and
-four to these countries, amounting to some
p, 900 900 bushels a year. These exports are
carried in japanese vessels. If the cargoes
brought by these vessels to the United States
are made more costly, they cannot bring
them to the Pacific ports, and consequently
cannot take Western wheat and Hour to the
Orient.
Now, Mr.. Hill, II he would only learn Of
Asiatics and not the Americans pay the
duties on the things they sell here: second
that export trade does not depend on import
trade, but lives and breathes and has its
being quite Independently; third, that the
American producer Of Japanese and Chinese
goods is entitled 20 the home market, and
finally, that it is a sin against American in
situations to ship goods East or West IN
Japanese vessels. If the fruit OF Oriental
pauper labor IS shut out from the West,
manufacturers OF Oriental goods will spring
up all over the Pacific slope; American wheat
Will be eaten by well paid American operat-
ives. and we shall all be rich and happy.
This may take a century or two. but 1t
will be worth waiting for, and Mr.. Hill should
be ashamed OF himself for trying to swap
such a prospect for the annual sale OF a
paltry %, 600 bushels Of wheat

PASSENGER BUSINESS DEAD.
Emergency Rates to Revive Traf-
fic Being Advocated.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Some Of the Western
roads are openly advocating a reduction in
passenger rates to what they term an "emer-
gency basis" The reason they give for their
wish to cut the rates is that the passenger
business is dead, and some measures are
needed to increase the volume Of traffic The
opponents OF lower fares say that if the
rates are reduced there may be some trouble
In view OF the recent supreme court decision
in getting them back to their old basis again
without taking some action that would be
illegal They think also that it would be
most unadvisable, at the present time, to
reduce any rates, for the reason that it will
give the various legislatures of the Western
states an idea that the roads can make
money with the rates at a lower point than
they now are, and that hostile legislation
Will ensue. The advocates Of the lower rates
have no argument to offer save that if bust
ness once begins to move, it viii keep NOV
ing even after the rates have been restored
to their old level There is no chance Of a
concerted reduction in rates, but long as
there is a strong element which favors the
reduction OF the rates a general feeling of
insecurity will prevail among the roads.
The general committee Of the passenger
agents Of the Western roads, which has for
two weeks been working on the new agree
ment for the association has finished it's
work. The agreement is practically the same
as the old agreement, with the exception
that 1t contains no provision regarding the
maintenance of rates. There is no doubt that
it viii be adopted by the executive officers
practically as it stands. Some minor changes
may be made, but the agreement will be put
into operation just about as it comes from
the committee.
A trust deed for 81, POO, 900 was filed for
record today with County Recorder Simon.
1t was given by the Chicago Lake Shore &
Eastern railroad, owners of the Calumet &

is given in consideration Of the issuing of
2G0 bonds of the denomination of 81 900,
bearing 5 per cent interest and payable in
gold. The bonds are a first lien on the prop
erty Of the railroad company.

Gen. Charles J. Paine, whom the
president has named as one of the
commissioners to some yet unarranged
bi1netallic international conference
went into the army in a Massachusetts,
regiment, which formed part of the
New England division of Buffers army
that fought sand f1eas on Ship island
and captured New Orleans after Far
ragut took it. He brought his Massa-
chusetts abolitionism with him and
sympathized with sturdy old Gen.
Phelps when he tried to get the idle
negroes, who focked to our camps, or
gained into regiments. Butler squelch-
ed Phelps, and the old man resigned
in high dudgeOn and went home. But
Butler only wanted the eclat of leading
off in the negro arming business for
himself, and he soon authorized the
formation Of regiments, to the command
Of one of which Col. Paine was pro-
NOTED. The regiment formed part of
the cOlOred brigade that held the right
in the storming party that assaulted
Port Hudson in May, 1868, and behaved
In manner unsurpassed by the white
volunteers who went into that slaugh-
ter pen. We believe that the colonel
won his star there; if he did not, he de-
served it.
