TROUBLESOME SALOON LAW.
Question of CanvassinE Boards An.
thOrity to Go to Court.

Question of Canvassing Boards An.
thority to Go to Court.
Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 14.-The first
saloon consent petition to be acted on
in Iowa since the recent decision of the
supreme court that all counties must
secure new ones, has been filed in Des
N1oines. The new law requires that
the board of supervisors shall pass on
the sutiicency of such petitions. When
the board sat to take up the new one
for this city the question was immedi.
ately raised whether the board was to
sit as Il judicial body, to pass on all
the legal questions involved; to de.
termine the genuineness of signatures
and to hear all arguments; OIL whether
it's duties were simply to count and
canvass the number of names without
going into the judicial investigation.
The attorneys for the saloon men in
sisted that the board could only can.
vass the number of names; the anti.
saloon attorneys declared the board
must investigate the genuineness of
every questioned signature. The at.
tOrneys had not concluded their argu.
ments when the board adjourned.
Whichever decision the board reaches,
the matter will at once be taken into
the courts to test the law.

German Government Has Prepared a
Bill.
Berlin, Feb. 14.-The text of the gov
ernment bill specially taxing depart
ment stores in Prussia was published
yesterday. This shows that sales of
from 100000 marks upward are to be
taxed. 2 per cent, increasing to 5 per
cent with every increase of a million
This measure is due primarily to DR..
Miguel, Prussian minister of finance,
although Prince Hohenlohe recently
remarked to the correspondent of the
Associated Press when questioned on
the subject: ''These department stores
are very dubious institution" The
bill gainsays the governments declara-
tions Of last year. The comment upon
it, except in the Agrarian and Con-
servative papers, are unfavorable. The
Fressinige Zeitung reminds the gov
ernment that last year it declared the
system of taxation now advocated
threatening" and it characterizes the
bill as unconstitutional.

Mail Nust Re Dfsinfected,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE postal au.
thorities have directed that mail pass
ing through Sumas, Wash, be disin-
fected before it be sent across the
border into Vancouver and Victoria.
This action was taken because the
postal authorities of British Columbia
feared that mail from Spokane might
enter their territory by way Of Sumas.
The authorities here do not believe
that there is any real necessity for
fumigation as it is not known posi-
lively that smallpox exists at Spokane,
but in order to allay the fears Of the
officials across the border they have
decided to comply with their request.

Of resolutions was formulated by the
committee covering the following
points: Government ownership Of all
