REPORT ON MARCH TAXES
STATE AUDITOR RECEIVES FIRST
OF THE ABSTRACTS
These Show the Payments to COun-
ties Are Larger Than Usual This
Year-The Department Waiting
Decision on the Law for Taxing
of Unused Railway Lands.

State Auditor Dunn yesterday re-
ceived the first Of the March abstracts
of taxes from county auditors of the
state The present system Of tax ap-
portionment calls for remittance to
the state auditor by the county audi
tors or all taxes recurring to the state
three times a year.
The March installment Of the taxes
collected by the counties is always
heavier than either of the other two in
stallments, from the fact that the first
Of the year people and corporations
alike select to pay their taxes in pref
erence to any other time of the year.
The state tax is due Jan. 1, and be-
comes delinquent June l. If the taxes
are not paid the opening Of the fol-
lowing spring. the tax lien on the
property becomes exclusive, and the
property is cOnfiscated
From the abstracts received by Au-
ditor Dunn so far, there Is a strong
probability that the figures of this
years tax levy will greatly exceed the
amount derived by the state from tax
es in 1897. The tax rate in the differ
ent counties Of the state varies largely
IN some counties the rate is as low as
~ mills. while in some other counties
1T goes as high as 35 mills, according
to the extent Of the internal improve
ments being carried on by the county.
The amount received by the county
treasurer in Nicollet county exceeded
by several thousand dollars the amount
received for a similar period last year.
The state auditor Is awaiting the de-
c1Sion OF the supreme court on the
question as to the constitutionaltty of
the law taxing the unused property Of
railroad corporations.
A decision was handed down last fall
from the district court in Aitken coun-
ty, which sustained the writ secured by
resident of that county to compel
the county auditor to assess such taxes
against, the unused land Of the rail-
road company running through that
county.
1t was test case, and the court or
dered the county auditor to assess the
property in question.
1t was then too late to get the case
onto the December term Of the supreme
court, so it was carried over until the
April term, when it will be taken up.
Being one Of the first cases on the
docket, it will be heard by the states
highest tribunal early in April
The law went into operation for the
first time JAM 1, and the taxes on the
millions Of acres of unused railroad
land will become due April 1.
In case the supreme court decides in
favor Of the state it will be in time to
give the railroads a chance to pay up
their taxes on such lands before they
become delinquent in June, unless they
should appeal to the United States SUI
preme court.
The railroads object strenuously to
paying both a gross earnings tax and
taxes on their unused lands.

To the Editor of The St. Paul Globe.
Civ


City.
Dear Sir:
You will allow me space in your paper to
say few words to the Democrats of this
city and those who believe in a Democratic
form Of government.
I. Are you satisfied with the present Re-
publican administration?
II. Are you willing to give few hours of
your time to effect better form of govern
ment in st. Paul?
III. Do you want clean. honest admins
and see what is best to do to accomplish such
desires. If you refuse and we have another
blank administration for the next two years,
don't blame others. You may say to your
selves. II have no one to blame but myself
l was invited to participate and was unpa-
triotic. have done my duty to myself and
family; 1 have let my birthright go by de-
Now, fellow citizens, 1t will only take few
hours to attend to this most important mat
ter. The notices Of the primaries will be
posted In your respective precincts and
through your daily papers. If you will make
1t point to attend your primaries and see
to it that the delegations that go to the city
convention from your respective precincts are
men who will vote for the nomination of men
who know no class nor clique nor faction !:
who recognize no class legislation and men
who believe in Democratic form of govern
ment and VIII form and execute our city gov
eminent accordingly.
Fellow citizens If you want such men to
serve you in the next two years you will have
to make up your minds that you will go to the
primaries and cast your ballot there, for men
in whom you have confidence. BY so doing we
get a good man nominated. And if we can
get a good man nominated, a man that the
people have proper confidence in, we may not
fear. He will be elected, for the people of
this city are tired of such government as we
have had for the last two years.
Trusting you may consider this matter IA
vorably and make up your minds to at least
give the city of ST. Paul for the sake oP oood
government few hours of your time on the
day the primaries held. Yours respect

SPASM COMES TOO LATE.
Mayor DOran's War on Beer Gar
dens Started Too Late in
the Day,

The order promulgated by Chief Goss
to the managers of the three concert
halls or theaters, to the effect that
either the female performers must be
taken off the stages or the sale of
liquor stopped. had no perceptible eff
feet. at least not last evening.
The manager of the Palm Garden
was called to the mayors office yester-
day afternoon, and the order again
given to him. Manager WeinholZer in
formed the mayor that other resorts
similar to his We're running, and he
saw no reason why he should be dis
eliminated against.
70 this, Mr.. WeinholZer says, Chief
Goss, who was present, told him to at
tend to his business and the police
would attend to the others.
Mr.. Weinholzer after a consultation
with his attorney announced that he
would continue his business the same
as though no order had been issued by
the police. He did so last night, eX-
cept that he closed his place at II
o'clock.
The Tivoli seemingly paid no atten-
ton to the police order, and the man
ayers of the Olympic conducted bust
ness as usual, Notwithstanding the or
der.
Rev. David Morgan was around the
office of the corporation attorney yes
terday afternoon discussing the matter.
and said: IF the mayor desired it,
the Olympic and Palm Garden could be
closed in a jiffy, as at neither place do
the persons operating the resort have
saloon licenses in their own name"
Police officials stated last evening
that they had not been ordered to
make any arrests on account of the
violation of the orders of Chief Goss.
A member of the Christian Citizen
"a Sf mo a q
Bpasm of reform shown by the police
department in relation to the sale of
liquors in the concert halls had been
inaugurated too late to do the mayor
any good in his battle for a renomina-
ton, If that was the intention.

Mr.. Koerner says he expects to have
the entire $4,000, deposited in banks
which went up in 1895, collected in less
than three months. From latest ad-
vices these banks would soon be reor-
ganized, and under the provisions Of
their charter the state is a preferred
creditor.
Attorney General Childs and State
Auditor Koerner recently went over the
statements made by the receivers Of the
defunct Minneapolis banks, and Mr.
Childs was of the opinion that the state
would be paid nearly all that was due
them. A large amount of the securities
held by the insolvent Minneapolis
banks were in the shape of mining
stocks which could not be turned into
cash Immediately. Gen. Childs thought
that these securities were good and
that in less than year the amounts
due from the Minneapolis banks would
be paid up.
State Treasurer Koerner is living in
hopes, he says, but he thinks, how
ever, a large amount of the 100000 will
never be recovered, owing to the dimin-
ished condition of the assets of these
banks.
