State of Minnesota ex rel. J. N.
Mari, respondent, VS.. Fred Stearns, as
county auditor of Aitkin county, ap-
pe!lant.
First-The president pro tempore of
the State senate does not cease to be a.
senator when he becomes lieutenant
governor by reason of q vacancy in the
Office of governor and a corresponding
vacancy in the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor.
Second-Held, that chapter 1858,
Laws 1895, relating to the taxation of
railroad lands, was duly enacted and
properly submitted at the general cleo
| tion of 1896 to the electors for adop-
tion and ratification as required by the
constitution.
Third-The existence of public law
whether it be in the form of a statute
or a constitutional amendment, is a
| fact of which courts must take judicial
notice. If, as in this case, it's validity
depends on the fact, whether it was
ratified by majority vote of all the
electors voting at the election at which
it was submitted, the court will take
judicial notice of the number of ballots
cast at the election and the number
cast for the law, and inform itself as to
such facts by resorting to the election
returns and records in the Office of the
secretary of state or in the Offices of
the several county auditors, or by any
other means it deems safe and proper.
Fourth-Held, that the law here in
question was adopted and ratified by
majority of all the electors voting at
the election at which it was submitted.
Fifth-The statutes of this State, en-
acted subsequently to the adoption of
the constitution, providing for a com
muted system of taxation of the prop
erty of railroad companies by permit
ting them to pay an annual gross earn
ings tax in lieu Of the taxation of their
property on the. basis Of cash valua-
tion, were unconstitutional until
validated by the constitutional amend
ment of 1871, Art. /, Sec. 80. Such
validation was qualified one, the
right to repeal or amend the statutes
being reserved, hence chapter 1853,
Laws Of 1895, does not impair the
obligation Of any contracts, and is con-
lstitutional.
Judgment affirmed.

Political Soldiers.

Foes that threaten our peace tent to

are other enemies TO this Repubi,
which dwell on our own shores. They
use no drink, knives. orcxplosve mines.
But their rules would aid the knaye :
their methods aid the highwavmcn.
They do not fight with rifle or saber.
But these politicians are found at the
voting booths to either steal our votes
or count Us out. The recent events in
connection with the appointments Of
cities to places in the volunteer army
brings to light the truth of the saving
by well-known preacher that WASH

regardless Of which party in control are
always after every office in the rift of

less number of politicians who have
applied to the Government for places
IN the army. They have no REGARD for
"nsthlllg except their own pockets.
They have no ability to command Il
troop of soldiers and yet they seek the
most honorable appointments. Why
give these men a commission simply be-
cause they have won place on the list {

they control Il certain element of yoter,o {
