UNIFORM Tonnage TAX.
HEAD OF. LAKES SHIPMENTS DIS
CUSSED BY MINNESOTA AND
WISCONSIN COMMISSIONS
WILL ASK MICHIGAN TO JOIN
Efforts VIII He Made to Secure Adop-
ton of Same Rate at Lake
Ports in Three
States.

Ihere was meeting at the Windsor
yesterday of the Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin vessel tax commission at which a
uniform tonnage tax for shipment at the
head of the lakes was discussed
The Minnesota commission consisted of
Senator F. B. Daugherty, Representa-
tives George R. Laybourn and George
j. Mallory, all of Duluth Wisconsin
was represented by Senator E. G. Mills.
of Milwaukee, and Representatives Au-
gust linn, of West Superior, and Henry
Dowbeck, of Sturgeon Bay. Senator
Mills was elected chairman and Repre-
sentative Laybourn secretary.
1t seemsd to be generally agreed to by
the members that if the rate was raised,
which they all favored, considerable
business might be lost as a result. There
fore conservative course was recon-
mended. The suggestions as to rates
varied from 8 to Is cents a ton
1t was at length decided by the COM
mission that before correct estimate
of the situation could be formed it
would be necessary to make a trip to the
head Of the lakes and the gentlemen
accordingly left for that placeey
afternoon.
An effort will be made by the, commits
sion to secure a committee from the
Michigan legislators to join them in the
work of fixing uniform rate for the
three states. Another meeting will be
held within week

COURT REPORTERS OBJECT.
Says Wells Bill Relating to Trans
cripts Would Work an Injustice.


At least four of the most prominent
court reporters from the country districts
of the state have visited the capitol with
in the past week or SO to lobby, against
a certain bill introduced some two or
three weeks ago in the house of repre-
sentatives by Mr. Wells, of Moorhead.
The bill provides that all court reporters
affected thereby shall make transcripts
of all testimony taken by them in any
trial in court 1t amends chapter AL of
the laws of 1899, which refers only to
reporters outside the three cities, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, and there
fore does not concern the city report
erS.
The reporters who have been inter-
viewed upon the subject, all say that
the bill requires a physical imposSibility
and that it should never be passed. Two
reporters have stated that ordinarily 1t
requires two or three days to transcribe
the testimony taken in one day; that the
average country term for a reporter is
about 12O days in the year and that if
required to transcribe all the testimony,
they would be simply asked to do what
was not possible.
AS the law now is, the duty of the court
reporter, according to their own testi-
mony, is onerous enough for the reason
that when case is tried without
jury the judge may, and very often does.
demand complete transcript without
compensation. OF course what extra
copies are made the attorneys or parties
having them made are required to pay
. and s cents per folio for them.
The reporters complain that their sal
aries now are none too high, ranging
from $500 to $1,000 a year before their
travelling and other expenses, which are
great have been deducted
One reporter yesterday advanced the
unique argument that if the Wells bill
passed and the requirements were pos
sibly fulfilled it would be the means Of
increasing litigation, since lawyers would
be more apt to move for new trials
when all the testimony and proceedings
were at their command.
The bill is in the hands of the judiciary
committee of the house.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-02-23

and when the result of the roll cali was
announced the bill was too dead to ever
resurrect by any reconsideration. The
farmers have an idea that it is a bank
ers' measure and against their interests,
and will not nave it, regardless of the
fact that it is the law of a number of
states, and is in force in the District
or Columbia. They are afraid of it and
won't have it, and that is all there is to
it for them.
The senate has adopted report for
library fund for cities. This is the
first library bill which has received con-
sideration by either house at this session.
as all the others have gone down in the
wreck of lost bills. The advocates of
the present measure have one which
they believe will go through, and will
push it in both houses.
The legislators in this state have had
so much wrangling over wolf bounty
measures that any mention of that SUBJ
ject is either taken as O. joke or as
treading on serious ground, according to
the sentiment of the man approached,
and when delegation of the members
visited the Minnesota legislature during
their recess, the mention of wolf boun,
ty bill, just after they had entered the
house in Minnesota was rather a sur
prise TO them, and at first they We're in
cllned to believe that the Minnesota
solons had arranged a joke for them.

BICYCLE SIDE. PATH BILL
ESgFS Of WHEELMEN-DLSCUSS
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW. 's'-'0~

MADISON, Wis, Feb 22.-The bicycle
side path bill, which authorizes the con-
struction of paths for wheelmen and
charges them license of 81 to cover ex-
penses, was passed by the senate yester-
day without discussion.
The bill preserving public rights in
streets taken by street railroad COM
panies, under eminent. domain, was also
passed.
Little other business of Importance was
transacted by either branch. Both houses
observed Washington's birthday by adj
jcurning till Monday evening.
Mr.. Corrigan yesterday replied to va
rious objections raised against the pri-
mary election bill He denied that the citi-
zens lacked intelligence enough to dis
charge this function of government. To
get nomination under the convention
system requires the expenditure of a
large amount of money, which must con-
stantly come from the people through
some channel or other. The estimated
expenditure for primary election, $50, 000
meant cost of just 6 cents to each of
the 442,S94 voters. Pray tell me- he ask
ed where is the intelligent citizen who
is so short-sighted that he would rather
not pay this cents for such a right
than have the trouble and expense of at
tending five or six eaucuses in a single
his choice for the nominations and poll
cies of his party. sdE

for public office will be chosen by the
people of this great commonwealth, not
because they are locatedsin the northeast

TO INTEREST TWIN
CITY CAPITAL - SCRAP OVER
QUESTIONS OF PEDAGOGY

PIERRE, S. D., Feb 22.-(Spec1aL. y
Some of the members who visited the
Twin Cities a few days ago and talked
railroad connection to the Hills with
leading men of those places have been
already receiving letters of inquiry rs to
the matter, and feel confident that the
agitation caused by their visit will result
in at least Investigations of what would
result to Minneapolis and st. Paul by
opening a road through to the Black
Hills. The members feel that they will
have accomplished a great deal if they
only secure this much interest, as inves-
tigation is all that is needed to show
what such line would do, and when
that is learned the efforts put forward
to secure it will certainly bring the de-
sired end.
Senator Loomis took occasion to give to
the senate his views on school ''fads'
on the bill to provide for text books in
regard to the spread of disease He took
the position that few studies IN which
the pupils were expected and required to
become efficient would be of more benefit
than to attempt to give them smatter-
ing of a number of "fads." This called
out number of replies, and a motion
by Englesby to indefinitely pos pone was
defeated by substantial ma iority.
The house killed a bill which was de-
sired by the Black Hills counties. 1t
provided a method OF taking up outstand-
ing warrants at a lower rate of interest
where county or city has a large
amount of paper afioat. The purDort
of the bill was to allow county commits
sioners or city authorizes to arrange for
issuance of refund warrants, which might
be issued at any rate of interest agreed
upon, not to exceed per cent interest.
to be paid annually from a special levy
for that purpose. The new warrants We're
to be issued in amounts of $50 or multipIes
of $50 and were to be issued to take up
outstanding warrants at their face with
interest added. The introducer took the
position that this would relieve the hold
ers of warrants, which in some cases
were seven or eight years behind The
opposition took the position that such a
bill would allow a warrant pure chaser
in such county, who had bought up war
rants at as low as so cents on the dollar
and then carried them seven years. to
demand of the county refund warrants
to the amount of $40 for what ne had
paid so cents, and secure new warrant
backed by special levy to carry the IN
terest.
Ever since the senate passed what is
known as the uniform negotiable in
strument BILL" the house farmers have
been waiting it's appearance to pound
it into the earth. Their chance came
when they returned to their work on
a favorable committee report. No SOON
er was that order reached than a dozen
were on the floor calling for recognition.
Heath was given the opportunity and
moved indefinite postponement, which
met with seconds from all over the floor,

Steamer Marquette Reaches Port
Minus Two Propeller Blades.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The Atlantic
Transport steamer Marquette, Capt
Gates, arrived in port today from Lon
don, more than four days behind time
owing to her having lost two blades of
her propeller during the voyage. Capt
Gates reported a very stormy passage.
The Marquette experienced a succession
of strong head winds and gales, nearly
all through the passage.
The loss of the two propeller blades
necessitated the steamers engines being
run at seven knots per hour and during
bad weather the ship was unable CS make
over three to four knot. al hour. On
Sunday, Feb II, the company's steamer

parted. The Manitou then slowed down
and kept the Marquette company until
Fire island was sighted. All on board
