Synopsis of the Governors Message to the
Legislature.
Governor Lind, in his farewell mes
sage to the legislature, dwells at length
OF state affairs, especially on the SUBJ
ject of taxation. He declares that the
policy of our tax laws, so far as per-
sonal property is concerned, is erro-
neous. 1t places the burden mainly on
the poorer classes taxing their small
stocks, tools and implements, while
thousands who possess great wealth
Escape. The remedy is the adoption of
policy that will distribute the newt
pble burden more equally and fairly.
He recommends further taxation of
foreign corporations, different meth
cd of listing and taxing domestic COR
porations, including franchises, and
revision of the system of railroad tax.
alton by which they would pay
nearly three times the amount
now collected. A tax on inheritances
is also recommended. This, the gov
ernor says, would produce considerable
revenue and would, in many instances.
subject property to taxation that had
previously escaped. He also recon-
mends the repeal of the law authoriz-
ing sugar bounties.
Governor Lind praises the work of
che retiring railroad and warehouse
com mission and ennmerates a numb Der
of instances in which, he says, the peo-
pie of the state were greatly benefited
by the action of the commission.

EPIDEMIC OF GRIP.
II is Sweeping Over the Country With
Serious Results.

The grip is making sweep of the
country again. There are quarter
of million cases in New York City,
100, 600 in Chicago, thousands in the
Twin Cities, and every town has list
that is large in proportion to it's size.
Mankato. has upwards of hundred
cases at low. estimate. The disease
seems to have the yirulence that IL
did when it first appeared in 1891, and
increased death rate follows in its
wake.
The Minneapolis Journal has the
following interview with-a physician
on the subject of what to do for the
grip.
SIT would be unprofessional in me
to get my name in print" said
leading physician today, ''but the grip
has got fast hold of Minneapolis.
In fact l would divide the town into
three classes: Those that have had
it, those that have it and those. that
are going to have it. That covers the
grip business. Some may have only
temporary trouble with their nose, a
triing backache., or headache, their
grip poison may be so slight, but all
will have it, little, except 1.-THE few
exceptions TO prove the rule. What
is the best thing TO do for it2 Well,
between you and me, hardly know.
1t depends upon the patient. What
will cure some will not cure others.
However, for the grip, pneumonia
and other ills, temperance-let the men
heed this-temperance is the best
thing. No man can cure a cold or the
grip by poisoning his system with
alcohol. 1t is the worst mistake he can
make. They might also remember
that pneumonia finds a ready victim
in the man whose system is soaked
with alcohol. So l say temperance in
drinking, in eating and in smoking is
the first thing to consider. Then be
careful about running out into the
cold air from hot room. Breathe
through your nose and do not stand on
the street talking until the cold has
settled all through your bones. Five
dollars please.

SCHOOL AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE
UPHELD.

Last evening the Free Press pub
lished communication from one of
our citizens regarding the vaccination
order recently made by the school
board. While not desiring to enter in
to any extended discussion of this mat
ter, the Free Press must say that it
cannot endorse the position taken by
the writer of the communication, but
must commend the position taken by
the school board in this matter. 1t is
we believe a step taken for the best
interests of the community, for the
greatest good of all, and ought to be
rigidly carried out. The benefits to
society resulting from vaccination
are too wide spread and we'll known to
be commented upon here. Because a
doctor here and there makes mis-
take in his diagnosis of disease, does
not in the least effect the principle in
volved in the effacacy of remedy,
nor merit wholesale condemna-
ton eff the medical fraternity. In
vestigation, we think, will reveal
the fact that the greater per cent of the
troubles that have resulted from vacci-
nation are not from the vaccination in
itself but from the neglect or careless
ness of the physician when performing
the vaccination, or from the person
himself in not properly taking care of
himself during the period the vac
cination runs. If trouble is had, it is
at once charged up to the matter of
vaccination, without stopping to think
or inquire whether or not there may
not be other causes therefor.
Medical science has been making
great advances of late years in protect
ing the individual and society from
the ravages of disease. Of course
there must be experiments, but when
spread generally before the public by
the medical fraternity these discov
cries have been thoroughly demon
strated to be no fad, but genuine
preventive or cure of disease Of
course there will be failures to cure,
and failures to prevent the spread Of
the disease, but the latter is more
often, in this day of the age, the result
of the prevalence of unsanitary con-
ditions and a disregard of proper pre-
cautions on the part of the public, than
in the failure of the discovery of medi-
cal science.
There is no better place for the
spread of a contagious disease than
through the schools where children
from all classes and conditions meet,
and these children are often more sus-
ceptible to such diseases than are
adults, and it is but right and proper
that the school authorities should take
every precaution possible to prevent
the spread of smallpox in our midst /;
inasmuch as it appears to be epidemic
in various parts of the country, is pre-
valent in SO or 40 counties of Mime
sofa and has appeared in mild form in
our city, but thanks to strict precau-
tions exercised had been stamped out.
