THE TRADE REVIEW,
Dun & Co. Report Immense Amount
of New Business on Hand.

R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly
review of trade say:
The failures in April were the
smallest in any months since records
by months began. SO per cent smaller
than in April of last year. not third
of the amount in 1897. and not half
the amount in April of any previous
year. 1t is not inconsistent or strange
if business haltS. because it has been
crowded to the utmost for four months
in anticipating future needs on ac-
count of new combinations proposed.
Yet new business in amount which
would have been astonishing two years
ago is still coming forward

RefOrmatOry Printing Feature OPP
posed by Organized Labor.
The house committee on education gave a
public hearing last night H. F. 20, by Mr..
Bush Rep.), of Olmsted, providing for the
editing and printing of free text books at the
state reformatory.
j. H. Dunbar of Minneapolis a teacher in
business college, spoke in favor of the bill,
claiming that it would not only advance the
money. Books could be sold by the state at
one-half the present price. The great merit
OF the bill was that it allowed teachers to
prepare manuscript for text books.
J. w. Page and c. J. Schott representing
the Minneapolis and St. Paul typographical
unions, opposed the reformatory printing feat
ure of the bill on the ground that it would
cost more money to print the books at the
institution than by contract, either at st.
Paul or Minneapolis. All the work required
experts, and the inmates being short-term
prisoners could not master the trade and the
work would have to be done by outside en-
ployes. They requested that the bill be laid
over until substitute could be prepared and
handed in.
Mr.. Boutwell, Rep.), of Wright favored the
thing to do.
Prof Lewis, superintendent of public in
struction. knew very little about the making
of the books, but he favored the compiling
and editing of the manuscripts within the
state. He had found that books sold at 40
cents could be printed including the paper,
for L. cents.
The committee will consider the matter
again next Thursday afternoon at o'clock.

The expenses of the companies are
limited to mills on each dollar of the
insurance written and these expenses
are to include officers salaries, COM
mission to agents and operating eX-
penses. All companies issuing policies
and failing to pay legally established
claims or losses within ninety days
after final proof of loss are to be
deemed insolvent. The bill goes into
effect May /, 1899. 1t was sent to the
insurance committee.
BILLS AFFECTING SALOONS.
Mr.. Pope (Rep.), of Kanabec, wants
the licenses for saloons increased. In
H, F. 1853, introduced yesterday, the
city councils of cities containing more
than 10000 population are empowered
to fix the saloon license at $500, and
in cities of less than 10000 population
the license is to be 81 900.
The bill prevents any lower amounts
being fixed than provided, but allows
as much more as the city councils may
determine.
The committee on temperance will
wrestle with the measure.

fine or Imprisonment to furnish free

The house drifted into a tangle over
over the question of adopting reports
of committees yesterday. and nearly all
the session was taken up in talk and
roll calls. Nineteen bills were intro
duced and one bill from the senate
passed under a suspension of the rules
Ihe trouble started over the, report
or the committee on taxes and tax
laws, which recommended for indefinite
postponement H. F. No. l2S, by Mr.
FoSs CRep). of Grant.
The latter moved that il be printed
and placed on general orders. 1t had
been introduced by Mr.. Plowman
Pop0. of Otter Tail several days ago
and turned down by the same commit
tee. He had redrafted 1t because it
was much needed measure. 1t aim
ed to relieve mortgagors from double
taxation, and it was of vital impor-
lance, as for long time the poor men
in the state had suffered from double
taxation. When relief was sought by
bill it was turned down by the COM
mfttee on taxes and tax laws and
hustled out of the way before the mem
berS of the house could judge of it's
merits. AS 1t was now the poor men
paid taxes and the rich escaped When
the bill to reduce the rate of interest
from 10 per cent was brought up in the
legislature the same old scare crow
was brought out, but results had proved
these statements false. The bill he
had introduced was not impra ctical. 1t
had been the law in California for sew
eral years.
Mr. Laybourn Rep.), of Duluth,
chairman of the committee on taxes
and tax laws, stated that the bill of
Mr.. Foss had received fair treatment
at the hands of the committee If
committee reports were to be ignored
In this way it would be just as well to
do away with the committees.
Mr.. O'Neill Oniom, of Big Stone
was certain that the bill was the wrong
remedy, as it would not help the case
of the man who wanted to put a mort
gage on his farm or home.
Mr.. Plowman knew the measure was
just and right, and all those who suf-
fered were not farmers. 1t was wrong
to make man pay on what he owed
rather than on what he owned The
men who gave mortgages paid about
z per cent and, in addition, from to
per cent taxes, while the men who
held the mortgages escaped.
Mr.. Abbott (Rep) of Faribault want
ed the money now in hiding brought
out for taxation, and did not think it
was good policy to shut off the men,
bers from considering a bill.
The bill was placed on general or
ders by vote of SO to 10.

Five minutes later there was another
clash on the same subject. Mr. Ferris

VOTES TO REPEAL IT
SENATE ELECTIONS COMMITTEE

OMAHA EXHIBIT IN 1IsFAvoR
Several Senator's Object to Paying
for a Display That Was Made in
Defiance of the Judgment of the
1897 Legislature Proposed
Change In the Divorce Law Tan
giles Up the Senate.

Without dissenting voice yesterday
the senate adopted the report of the
elections committee on the bill intro
duced by Senator Collier Dem.), of
Scott, to repeal the corrupt practices
act Of 1895, which has been made a
farce of in the enforcement. The cleo
tiOnS committee reported the bill for
passage and it goes on general orders
| to be discussed at the next meeting
after today's session, which will no
doubt be Tuesday, as the senate will
probably adjourn today until next
week.
1t has been notorious that the bill
was not reaching the evils it was in
! tended to correct, and Senator Hene-
man, of Mcleod county, introduced a
bill at the session of 1897 to repeal it,
but the law was defeated.
The fact that the candidate can file,
under the law, a very small portion of
! his expenses as in the case of Will
lam Henry EuStiS, whose campaign
had been going on a year and half
! at least before he began keeping tab
| on the figures reported to the secretary
! of state, shows what a mockery the
law, as at present constituted, is, and
the repeal bill is aimed to put the hon
est and dishonest candidates on a par,
as, in some respects at least, the pres
!
honest man, while only slightly, if at
all, serving as deterrent to the will
full seducer of the popular will.
Some objection was made to the bill
reimbursing the commissioners for the
Omaha exhibit for the expense of the
| show.
Senator Roverud (Rep.), of Houston,
and Senator Jones, ]. D., of Todd, said
it was bad policy. The 1897 Legislature
had refused to pass such a bill, and
| these people had gone out in the face
of this dictum. Mr. Jones said some
of the signers of the notes had urged
him not to vote for their own reim-
bursement. He doubted if the exhibit
had been for the benefit of the state, as
a whole, although he did not question
that it had benefited certain inter-
ests.
Senator Barker (Rep), of Isanti, re-
fused to be bound by a previous leg
islature's action. The exhibit was a
credit to the state, and its expense
should not be paid by few of the
people.
Senator Greer Rep), of wabasha,
said he would not vote for the bill
until it had been shown that the state
had cash enough to attend to the
needs of the state institutions.
Senator Thompson Rep.), of Fill
more, said he had voted against the
appropriation two years ago, but he
was ready to vote aye now.
Senator MCGOWAN (Dem0, of Henne-
pin, wanted the bill delayed. Most
of the benefit derived from the ex-
hibit had gone to private interests, as
nearly as he could ascertain.
It was finally decided to report prog
