The federal Government, thirty years
ago, endowed an agricultural college In
each State with a munifcent land grant.
Ten years ago it began adding to this
$4,000 a year in each State for expert
ment station work, and has increased this
81, 900 per year until now the maximum
allowed by the Morrill, law has been
reached, $4,000 a year. In addition, it
maintains at an expense Of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars a year the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which under Secre-
tary Wilson is doing work equalled by
no other department in any nation in the
world, and the object Of all this is the
education Of the farmer. It Is, however,
lamentable fact that the great majority
Of the farmers Of the nation are not yet
reached or even touched by this enor-
nous expenditure of money and the labor
OF scientific brains The farmer, as a
rule, and his teachers are wide apart and
there is not always the best understand
Ing between the two. The farmer is dis
posed to regard his teacher as impracti-
cal. There yet remains a good deal of
the old leaVen inherited from our fathers
and our grandfathers that farming was
mainly pure strength and awkwardness,
that there was nothing in what Is known
as book learning" that nothing but
hard work day in and day out, and year
in and year out, would bring the answer.
There is also a conviction in another
type Of mind that good crops are the re-
suit Of climate and rainfall, that the re-
suits are in the hands of Providence and
not professors Of agriculture. The farmer
and his teachers are in many cases very
far apart. The scientist Is many times
disposed to regard the farmer as a stupid
sort Of fellow who does not avail himself
OF his privileges, while the farmer re-
CARDS the scientist as a narrow fellow
who knows one part Of it flrst-rate but
does not know how to apply his knoWl-
edge, and when he does apply it does
so in little narrow way that is entirely
impractical under present farm condi-
tions-Wa Farmer.

FOR ITS SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
First Presbyterian Church Hopes to
Celebrate 1t Debt-Free.

The board of trustees and members of
he First Presbyterian church met last
evening in the church edif1ce, Lincoln
avenue and Grotto, to discuss plans for
the celebration of the congregation s
fftieth anniversary, which occurs Nov.
25. Reports of committees at work upon
the liquidation of the outstanding mort
gage of $4,000 on the church property were
listened to and the financial statement tor
the past nine months considered and ap-
proved.
The plans for the celebration depend
largely upon the success met with in
the effort to- remove the mortgage.
Plans We're made last night whereby it
is hoped to secure contributions 20 the
fund amounting to $500 from thu mcm-
bers of the church. The former members
of the congregation allied with other
churches in the city will also aid in the
work. Rev. John Sinclair, pastor Of the
church. says Of the anniversary:
1--WE were the first in the field in st.
Paul, and complete fifty years of serv-
i've on Nov. rs. We wish to raise our
mortgage in time to leave the church
free from debt at this time. No plans
have yet been made for the celebration of
the day, as its observance depends large
ly upon our success in disposing of our
Indebtedness. There is every prospect that
we shall raise the necessary amount and
be able to observe the anniversary with
increased satisfaction and pleasure"

COUNTY AUDITOR JOHNSON PASSES
THE SCHOOL PUZZLE ALONG
TO THE MAYOR 755o=
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
One VIII Probably Be Called for
Tomorrow Night to Take Action
ON the One and n Half Mill Spe-
ciaI School Tax Which Various
Legal Authorities Have Declared
to Be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
to Be Demonstrations

In response to the recent resolution Of
the council directing the county auditor
to include in the tax levy for 1899 the
IL mill tax authorized by the law of 1889
for school purposes Auditor Johnson has
in preparation letter to Mayor Edefer
declining to spread the ~ mill tax upon
the rolls. In, explanation of this course
of action the auditor will state that hav-
ing consulted the county attorney and re-
ceived from him the opinion that the law
Of 1899 above referred to was invalid, he
feared that the spreading Of the tax
thereby authorized upon the rolls as
directed by the council might invalidate
other portions of the levy in case Of ad-
verse ection by the courts. Therefore
he referred the question to the county
attorney with the request that he confer
with the attorney general Of the state
IN regard to 1t.
In his letter to the county attorney, Mr.
Douglas said:
In your communication of the 18th in
slant you call attention to the fact that
under the respective charters of the
cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
the legislature mas limited the amount
Of taxes to be expended against the taxa
BILE property Of such cities to the sum Of
215 mills upon the assessed valuation in
ST. Paul, 4 mills in Minneapolis and 9
mills in the city Of Duluth. Prior to 1896
this limit prevailed in each of said cities.
You inquire the opinion of this depart
ment as to whether chapter 40 of the
General Laws of 1899 Is unconstitutional
in this, that it offends against sections
SO and "a of article 4 Of the Constitution,
prohibiting under certain limitations,
special legislation in this state. Chapter
40 provides in substance, that all cities
now or hereafter having a population
exceeding $1,000. inhabitants are empow-
cred to raise annually the taxation
Independently Of and in addition to other
sums for school purposes authorized by
law, an amount not exceeding ~ mills
upon each dollar of the assessed valua-
ton. Section of the act provides that
1t shall be construed as an Independent
and separate grant of power and shall
in no wise supersede existing provisions
Of law for raising revenue for the support
of schools whether under general or
special laws, but that the powers therein
given may be exercised concurrently with
other powers to provide a, greater revenue
for schools within such city limitations,
Of power under existing laws notwith-
standing.
The obvious intent OF the trainers of
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-26
OF degrading it.

this section clearly was to aid the courts
in reaching the conclusion that chapter
40 was an independent grant OF power
to raise additional revenue in the three
cities referred to and can stand alone;
but the practical result must be, If the
act in question Is valid, to assist in pro-
sion of total tax for school purposes In
the city of Minneapolis of 51a mills, In
the city of st. Paul. 4 mills, and in the
city of Duluth 1O7s mills upon the as
Jurisdictions. leaving a want of uni
fornity In the respective amounts to be
raised in these cities, each Of which be-
long in a single class
Of chapter 4 of the language that sucn
cities are thereby empowered to raise
annually by taxation independently, Of
and in addition to other sums for school
purposes authorized by law. an amount
not exceeding III mills, 90 shows
that the act In question was intended to
be applied upon the structure formed by
the respective city charters Of all cities
falling within that class. This being
true, In my Judgment the act in question
offends against the constitutional provis-
ions referred to and Is invalid.

Replying to your second inquiry, 1 am
of the opinion that the extension of this
~ mills tax proposed by chapter 10 of
the laws of 1899 as separate tax, al
though estimated as a part of the total
tax, will not operate to vitiate other
taxes of your city and county included
in the general assessment. OF course
the extension of an illegal tax of neces-
to delay payments Of legally extended
taxes, and in a final determination of
such litigation may operate to create a
loss of penalty and interest upon taxes

1nasmuch as the main question present
ed In your communication is Of marked
importance and the judgment of admin
i ls g. officers may be erroneous. I
which you present be submitted in
some proper form Of action to the courts
for determination that absolute GER
tainty in the matter may be reached
1t has been intirnated that In case the
auditor should take this course the
council would order mandamus proceed
ings to compel him to spread the 1b-mill
tax upon the rolls and in his letter he
will suggest that if such action is to bs
taken 1T be done at once, as the time
Tor making up the rolls has nearly ex-
pired and he would like to have ihe
courts pass upon the matter as soon az
| possible.
This letter will be sent to the mayor
today and he has intimated that in such
case he will call meeting of the com,
mon council for tomorrow evening to
| instruct the city clerk and city ATTORNEY
TO begin mandamus proceedings against
the auditor at once.
/ This will place the city attorney in a
! rather delicate position, as he has al
ready expressed the opinion that the law
authorizing the 11a-rnill tax is invalid
and it is not to be supposed that he will
! enter into the prosecution Of the case
with much enthusiasm
