of these taxes is allowed to continue, the
personal property tax list will be regard
ed by investors in Ramsey county bonds
as positive detriment to the value Of
the security The fact that there has not
been for many years any serious effort
made to remedy the abuse Is no excuse
for it's continuance. The extravaganza
and financial immortality of paying fees,
whether to the clerk Of courts or to the
sheriff. for the collection of taxes which
are not collected-of the county paying
out the taxpayers money and receiving
no consideration therefor-will strike ev-
cry citizen as an anomaly which should
be promptly abolished.
If the 1900 or more delinquents actually
have no property of any kind whatsoever
upon which the sheriff can distrain, there
Is no earthly use in making return to the
clerk of courts and securing and entering
Judgment, with the expense in the matter
of fees for the clerk OF courts incident to
value In securing a judgment then 1t is
reasonable to conclude that the collection
can be made by the sheriff, and the coun-
ty commissioners, with the assistance Of
the county attorney, should see that the
collection is made and the county reim-
bursed for the preliminary expenses.
The mere fact of any delinquent per-
sonal property tax being allowed to go to
judgment is evidence that the sheriff, the
county attorney and the board of county
commissioners have previously satisfied
themselves that the tax can be collect
ed by due process of law. Unless this is
the case, all these officials have simply
by their neglect imposed upon the tax
payers of the county an unnecessary bur-
den OF fees and other expenses If these
taxes cannot be collected or If no effort
is made to enforce their collection. the
county commissioners had much better
strike every item off the delinquent list,
and let the taxpayers bear the single bur-
den of non-payment, instead of the double
burden of non-payment and the penalty
of fees for futile attempts or mere pre-
lenses to collect the delinquent taxes.
If the county officials will only con-
descend to approach this question In a.
business way and to treat 1t as though II
was a matter in which their own private
business interests were concerned. these
delinquent taxes will be for the greater
part collected. The law provides the ma
ehinery and prescribes the manner for the
collection of such taxes, just as it does
for the collection Of debts owing TO prf-
vate citizens If the county sleeps ON it's
rights and fails to avail itself of the legal
remedy and means provided. It is in tbs
same position as a private individual who
takes no legal steps to recover debt.

CALIFORNIA CLUB AGGRIEvED.
VIII Go to the Courts to Secure the
Corbett-Jeffrfes Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-THE Ma
tional Athletic club has not received Of
fetal notification that the Corbett-Jef
fries fight will not be held in this city
under its auspices, and Is going ahead
with preparations for the contest.
At meeting of the board Of directors
1t was urged that. upon the word of
William A. Brady. the match was
awarded to the club last Friday, when
the 5000 forfeit was placed with a
newspaper in this city, and that, as 1t
was deposited subject to the order Of
Stakeholder Al Smith, nothing was left
undone by the club. Furthermore. 1t Is
claimed that IL the principals took it
upon themselves to transfer the match
to New York they thereby forfeited
the deposits of $500 each to the National
Athletic club. The officials OF the club
also complain that they have entered
into contracts already, and they feel ag-
grieved at the reported change of pro-
gramme. They will not abandon their
claim to the match. and. II necessary,
will institute legal proceedings.
Manager Gibson said: "All the busi-
ness has been transacted by wire with
Mr.. Brady, and no word has been re-
ceived from him of any change. There
fore feel secure in the belief that the
match has not been taken from the Ma
tional club"

not intend to make the first call upon
any one but the wife OF the president.
Instantly there was terrific hubbub
in the upper circles of official society.
The supreme court ladies, the senatorial
ladies and the cabinet ladies talked 1t
over, vowed they would never yield to
such presumption and commented as
only women can upon each other.
After a little while there was weak
ening on the line Of defense. The SUI
preme court ladies gave in and made
the first call. 1t is rumored that one or
two Of the cabinet ladies have followed,
but the senatorial phalanx stands firm
as a rock. 1t Is yehemently maintained
that there will be no surrender in that
quarter.
There is no question the senatorial la
dies will make big fight. They have
been in this business number of times
and have invariably emerged triumphant
from the conflict. What makes the SEN
atorial clique so formidable Ia that the
stronger minded always hold rod over
their weakened sisters, and by this
means the whole body acts as q unit.
Mrs. Speaker" also is lavish in the
practice of returning calls by cards sent
through the post or by messenger. This
has ELECTED the most resentful criticism
and threats of non-submission and to
give her "a piece of my mind"
Mr.. Speaker" naturally does not have
the opportunity to cut such big swath
as the better half of the family, but he
has managed to make 1t somewhat en-
barrassing for hosts and managers Of
ceremonies. He may have others to
come, but his one special grievance up
to the present time is the precedence
which has been accorded to Senator Frye.
Mr. ie 4
the senate, but he is 'only a senator
and has no particle of right to the title
or vice president, frequently bestowed
upon him in that free and easy way
Americans have of comforting dignities
not won. Well, the speaker Is Of the
opinion no one should precede him ex.
cept the president.
AS this has not yet impressed itself
upon others, the intelligence has been
conveyed that the speaker will not at
tend any more social functions where
the order of precedence prevails at which
Senator Frye is to be present AS the
stand has been taken, unless Senator Frye
should voluntarily give in, the speaker
will miss a vast deal of pleasure, for he
dearly loves a dinner.
1t is learned at the navy department
that a complete laundry equipment has
been provided for the three new battle
ships authorized at the last session of
congress and for which designs are now
being prepared by the constructors. These
will be the first warships in the world
with an equipment of this kind, and while
it is intended exclusively for the officers
on board, it Is probable that in time the
sailors may also be provided with SIM
liar arrangement If the necessary room
can be found. Naval officers have always
depended on shore laundries and washer
wcmen to attend to their laundry and
when on long cruises much Inconvenience
has been experienced for want of proper
facilities. To place the equipment on the
vessels will cost about $4,000 each, and
to work 1t men will be especially en-
gagged.
