CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON's remarks on
the death of Representative Dingley,
when eulogies on that great statesman
We're being delivered in the house
the other day, were promised by
the statement that in 1891 he (Johnson)
drew MI. Dingley's old seat and after
ward gave it up to him. Had the culo-
gies been upon Mr.. johnson reference
to this fact would have been most ap-
propriate, bus Mr.. johnson never fails to
e%ulogize himself. Further along in his
remarks Mr.. johnson referred to the
work of framing the Dingley law and
said:
"All his associates on the committee

industriously on certain schedules: Mr..
Dingley mastered every detail of every

but largely, and I might say mainly, to
Mr.. Dingley."
At last we have an admission from Mr..
johnson himself that Gov. Dingley did
have something to do with the work of
framing the Dingley law. The admis-
sion, however, has a long string attach
ment. "All the members of the commit
tee labored faithfully and industriously
on certain schedules" and "the honor of
these achievements is not due exclusive
ly but mainly to Mr.. Dingley." Through
out Johnson's remarks n can read be-
tween the lines these potent words, II

SENATOR SANFoRD's bill authorizing
the trustees of the asylum to issue $780,
600 of bonds for the furnishing of funds
for erecting additional buildings needed
at the jamestown hospital is similar to
the bill introduced and passed at the
last session and under which negotia-
tons were at one time practically com
pleted for the sale of the bonds at a
premium. If the required $4,000 could
be raised by the issue of these bonds it
would solve the question of supplying
additional ward room for inmates, whose
number is too large for the present
building.

The report of the committee on state
institutions recommends large decreases
from the appropriations asked-the total
reduction from the original bill being
about $4,000. The committee while ad.
hitting the necessities of many of the
institutions, improvements needed and
improvements that might well be made,
refrains from urging many improve
ments because of the low ebb of state
finances and the inadcquacy of the
revenues of the state to the demands of
the institutions. A. fixed tax is recon-
mended for the maintenance of the state
university, as provided by the Arnold
bill for the ievying of a two-iifths mill
tax on all property in the state, which
would take the appropriation out of the
hands of the legislature and make it
Il practically definite sum which would
increase with the growth of the state.

The substitute bill of the committee
on education proposes county apportion-
ment of state tuition funG-that all
taxes collected in any one county be dis
tributcd in that county. A report Of
the amount of state tuition fund rcceiv-
ed and paid by each county for the past
two years shows that under the present
system some counties get the best of it.
For instance, Cass in the past tMo years
paid to the state tuition fund some ST.
600 and received back SS5533, OW-while
Pembina paid out $4,000 and received
back $4,000. Burleigh paid out $4,000
and received back S%1O,O00-and there are
a number of small losses-and some
heavy gains-depending upon conditions
as to wealth and number of children in
each county. Mcintosh comfy received
back about twice as much as was paid
out.

The institution ranks favorably with
others OF a similar class. 1t is not richly
endowed as those of some other states
and shows cramped resources. The mil
ltary training is commended. Needed
repairs should be made, to remedy the

1t can be said that there is a most fa-
Vorable outlook for the construction of
another electric line between ST. Paul

board acts favorably on the application

reason why 1t should not-start from Ar

to the intersection of the Lahore, or Cen

near Leips and returning via Prosperity

plated line. Aside from this there should
be every facility offered our people for
convenient access to this beautiful resort.
White Bear lake is known from New
York to San Francisco and recognized as
one of the gems of sylvan scenery in the
suburbs of st. Paul. With the new road

WHY NOT.

The bill introduced IN the house by
Representative Laybourn which provides
for a more equitable distribution of rail-
way taxation, would seem to be one that
would meet with favorable consideration.
It's principal feature, apportionment of
money paid in as railway gross earnings
taxes according to the value of the rail-
way property in each county. is one that
certainly appeals to every ones sense Of
fairness. Simplifed, it means that those
counties that have the largest proper
tion of railway mileage and railroad
property will receive the largest amount
of the tax. Ten per cent Of the whole
amount is appropriated by the state di-
rect. The remainder, 80 per cent, is dis
tributed as described above.
Why should this not be done? The
fundamental principle Of taxation is that
the locality containing the property tax
ed should receive the benefit of the
! amount realized by such taxation In all
other properties except railways this
principle is adhered to. Rich counties
are fortunate in the possession of such
properties for the purpose of taxation
If there are valuable railway properties
in those counties, they become still more
fortunate. 1t would seem fully as just
to say that wealthy county should give
up the revenue derived from taxation Of
real and personal property in other lines
than railroads as to insist that it forego
the benefits of taxation of it's railroads
and give the money to the state for divi-
sion. While it is frankly admitted that st.
Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth would
profit by the provisions OF .lr. Laybourn's
measure, the fact should not be over
looked that Saltwater, st. Cloud, Winona,
Melrose, Mankato, st. James and Brain
erd and other points would share propor-
tionally in the benefits.
Why should the bill not become a law?

NEW YORK, March 20.-Two bodies,
charred beyond recognition, were found
in the ruins of the Windsor hotel today.
One was the body of a man, the other
that of a young woman, probably a
servant of the hotel The number Of
known dead is now twelve. Several hum
dred men, working in eight-hour shifts,
are delving in the debris. They have
brought to light many personal affects of
the guests. 1t was thought today's work
would reveal many bodies, and the dis
appointing result has led to a revision of
estimates of the number of dead still en-
tombed by the piles of brick. Most Of
the guests of the hotel have been ac-
counted for.
In the missing list, as it now stands.
are the names of a number of servants
of the hotel and of people who have not
been seen since the fire, with the result
that their friends have reported their
disappearance to the nnlice. The list Of
people missing from tneir homes is al
ways large in New York, and just now
large part of this list Is charged up to
the Windsor hotel fire. Some persons re-

notoriety and have not reported their
safety.
