POTTER'S BILL WAYLAID.
Graduated Tax Law Fixed Up in the
House,

In the committee of the whole, with
Mr.. Kelly (Rep.), of Rice, in the chair,
H. +. ia appropriating $4,000 which the
state high school board may use in the
preparation and publishing of state text
books, was recommended to pass The
vote was close one, there being but
three of a majority on the motion.
The bill carries with it as much as the
friends of the measure anticipate will be
necessary to start the work
S. f. rs, by Senator Potter (Rep). of
Hennepin,. was Indefinitely postponed. 1t
amended the law of 1897, which allowed
the payment of taxes on real property
In two payments, on June l and Nov. 1,
so that the taxes might be paid at any
time between June 1 and Nov. on
graduated scale. If not paid on June
penalty Of A per cent accrued, and af-
ter that and until Nov 1 an increased
penalty of l per cent per month If no
payment was made before Nov 1 then a
penalty of 10 per cent accrued at once
There was a lively tilt between Mr..
Jacobson (Rep), of Lac qut Parle and
Mr.. Foss (Rep), of Grant, during the
discussion. Mr.. Foss favored the bill In
the interests of the poor farmers of the
state. -
Mr.. Jacobson called his colleague down
by saying he was tired of hearing the
member from Grant continually talking
about the poor farmers. The farmers in
his district were not beggars, and the
cry continually made by Mr.. Foss was a
libel on the farmers of the state
Mr.. Foss said he could not be cut off
from appealing for the benefit Of the
poor farmers by the cry raised by Mr..
Jacobson. 1t was possible that the farm
ers in Lac qui Parle county were all
rich. If they were he did not speak for
them, as they could afford to hire lob
byists to come on the floor of the house
and speak for them. He spoke in the
interests of the poor farmers. 1t would
be a cold day when he stopped talking
for this class of the taxpayers of the
state.
Mr.. Roberts spoke about half an hour
on his bill, II. F. 5, which provided for a
primary election law throughout the
state. AS he commenced his talk there
were about 100 members in their seats,
but as he progressed his audience left by
twos and threes until there were but six
teen members on the floor
Mr.. West Rep), of Mower, suggested
that Mr.. Roberts adjourn to the cloak
room for further calculation of the bill,
and this brought the member from Hen
nepin back to earth. The bill was laid
on the table to be taken up along with
other bills now in committee along the
same line some day next week.

Is 1t Malaria or Aunt
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science Monthly.
Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect of
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about the
poisonous effect of alum upon the sys-
tenn. 1t obstructs digestion, prostrates
the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the
blood. All this has been made clear,
thanks to physicians, boards of health,
and food commissions So highly inju-
rious to the health of the community
does the eminent head of the University
of Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says their
sale should be prohibited by law
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep so dangerous an element from the
food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder
which is the only kind that should be
used, ought to cost about As cents to so
cents pound. Therefore, If you are pay
ing much less, something is wrong; if you
are paying Is cents or less Fer pound, the
powder Is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder

The vote was:
EIGHT-HOUR DAY ARGUMENT.

Early in the afternoon the eight-hour
bill introduced by Senator McGovern
tDem-) OF Hennepin, stirred up quite a
contest. Senator Mccarthy RepO. of
1tasca, wanted it amended to limit the
operation of the law to state work and
state contracts Senator Somerville
Rep.), of Brown, wanted it limited to
counties of over $4,000 population. This
was adopted.
Senator Snyder offered an amendment
that the legal days work be eight hours,
except where expressly agreed upon be-
tween employer and employe.
Senator Mccarthy said that In his coun-
ty the eight-hour day could not we'll be
insisted upon.
Senator Fitzpatrick Oem.), Winona,
wanted labor protected. He thought an
eight-hour bill was worthy of passage.
Senator Wilson Rep), Hennepin, cited
several decisions which, he said, raised
a doubt as to the power of the state to
pass any bill going beyond the state
work.
Senator Ryder Rep), Polk, favored
the eight-hour idea and urged the pas
sage of the bill.
Inc Snyder amendment was lost, but
the Mccarthy amendment carried.
senator Horton offered an amendment
renewing contracts already made from
the operation of the BILL This was
adopted
Senator Ives Oem.), Ramsey, said the
amendments had made farce of the
bill.

BOARD OF CONTROL.
1t VIII Not Be Established for Two
Years at Least.

The special committee of the senate
to which was referred the bills providing
for board of control for all the state
institutions held a meeting yesterday.
State Auditor Dunn argued in favor of
the idea, which was also urged by Gov
Lind in his inaugural message
Secretary Jackson, of the state board
of corrections and charities, thought the
two institutions were run now as well
and as cheaply as in Iowa and in other
states where the board of control was in
existence, and he believed that the re-
suits aimed at could best be subserved
by giving the present state board of cor
rections and charities a larger appro-
priation with which to work.
The committee will recommend that
the legislature appoint a commission to
