SENATOR M'MILLAN ON REPUBLIC.
AN EFFORTS TO STEAL CREDIT.

+. G. Mcmillan, of the state board of
equalization, thinks the reported attenpt

Dit OF clap-trap he ever heard Of
AS a matter Of fact" said Mr.. Nc,
MILAN, Il don't think that either side
can deduce any facts from the work of,
the board that will be of any benefit TO
1t politically. But if either can, that side
/ is the present administration. In the first
place, 1t is an admitted fact-admftted by
every member of the board and by eyery-
pody who knows anything about the
faets-that real estate in the cities has
been assessed much higher than that in
the remainder, of the state. The system
has grown up in that way and 1t would
be suicidal to revolutionize it for the
reason that If real estate in. this city
were put down on the same basis within.

land In the county, the rate of taxation
would have to be increased to over 31a
percent to get money to pay our coun-
+ try and city expenses. We sid, however,.
make the slight reduction of 10 per cent.
going as far in the direction of eduaiza-
ton as we dared. This was done to
equalize the assessments of St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth and the cities Of
second size in the state such as Winona,
Mankato, etc. The fact that a reduc ion
of 10 per cent is made in Minneapolis
real estate without making 1t in tie bal
ance of Hennepin county has no, apprc,
ciable effect on the amount of taxes the
farmers will have to pay.
1.-THE Republican committee has mot
called attention to the fact that.that de,
crease in the assessed value of Mime
apohs real estate Is offset several times
over by the increase of $780, 600 In the val.
uation of the franchise of the street rail-
way company, and that the valuation of
stocks of goods and merchandise in the
city was increased $45G, 000
'As for the increase Of 10 per cent in
agricultural tools, Is per cent In cattle
and other similar changes, it is idiotic~to
urge that they have any significance
whatever under any circumstance, be-
cause such changes are necessary to
eqIalize the assessments Of different
counties in the state. A general average
is taken as the basis of valuation for
each class and in counties in which
this class is assessed too low, the valu-
alton is brought up to the average and
in those in which it is too high 1t is
cut down.

SOCIAL LIFE IN ST. PAUL

A large attendance and an excellent
programme marked the opening fort
nightly musicale of the Schubert club,
held yesterday afternoon at Mozart hall
Miss Elsie M. Shaw presided. Something
of an innovation for the usual Schubert
musicale was the introduction of a paper
on THE Influence of Myth and Legend
on Music" read by Mrs. w M Carson.
The paper was not only extremely we'll
written, but it showed research and the
close sympathy Of the writer with ner
theme. 1t was listened to with deep
attention. Mrs Carson sketched briefly
some of the old Morse legends and told
how from the superstitious tales of the
Northland q rude music was fashioned
The music was at first solemn and heavy
for as the epic poetry preceded the lyric
so did the serious music precede the
light. Later the music was combined
with rude sort of acting, and from
that period might be traced the gradual
growth Of what is for us today grand
opera. Mrs. Carson told the story of
Wagner's "Parsifar' while Mrs. F. r.
Jilson played the various motifs
Mr.. David Ferguson Colville sang two
numbers, THE Azra," Rubinstein; and
ISRAELI" by King. Mr. Colville was in
excellent voice and sang both numbers
in his usual finished manner.
Griegs Peer Gynt" suite was PLAYED
at two pianos by Miss zenzius, MISS
Hartsinck, Miss Hall and Mrs. Curtis
The four parts, Morgenstimmung Asses
Tod, Anitras TanZ and In der Halies des
Bergkoenigs, were characteristically
rendered, with admirable tempo
Mrs. Lohrbauer sang two of Grieg's
songs, Morse Volkslieder'' and BAL
lade." The folk song was sung with
spirit and finish, and the dainty ballad
was given a charming and poetic read
ing.
Following the programme tea was serv-
ed in two Of the smaller rooms on the
second floor, and an Informal reception
was held. Miss Shave, Mrs. C. E. Fur
ness, Mrs. Denis Follett, Mrs. Briggs,
