ing warrants mot paid for want OF
funds
The opinion was rendered on tho
Noftzger law passed at thclast session
OF the Legislature On Its face that
law attempts to force the state TO give
counties credit for their proportion OF
all taxes compromised in the past and
TO be compromised in the future. 1t
is estimated that at least $500, 900
would be lost to the state on account
OF past compromises. Tho counties
would put in those claims at once and
the state would be deprived Of that
much revenue, In the future IT would
not be such hard blow, but it would
nccessitate raise in the tax levy for
state purposes,
The assistant attorney general holds
that the law does not apply to com
promises on state taxes, although the
author framed It for that very purpose,
The opinion, which practically nulli-
ilcs the law, was rendered in reply to
query from State Auditor George Il
Cole.

|THE CHINESE SITUATION
Was Considered by The Cabinet
on Their Return Trip,
STILL FIRM ON INDEMNITY.

Washington, May 9s,-on the way
back to Washington the president and
members Of the cabinet are devoting II
good deal Of time to the consideration
of the Chinese situation, The decina.
tion Of the other powers to join in the
suggestion OF the United States with
regard to scaling down the indemnity
demanded of China, was great dis
appointment, though not entirely un-
expected. The necessities Of European
powers OF the maintenance OF their
large armies and nnvics are perhaps
n factor in their present action, The
president and members OF the cabinet
feel that this government was right in
protesting against eNactions which
night force China to the wall, and
from the position taken by the United
States there will be no retreat, The
demands of the other powers are con-
sidcrod eNhorbitant and likely, II in
sisted upon, TO result ultimately in the
crippling or dismemberment Of the
empire, The United States will con-
tinue to urge this view at every oppor-
tunity, If the powers proceed alone
and force China to accede to their
demands, this government, OF course,
will accept the share Of the indemnity
assigned TO IL on the present basis, II
can distribute such amount as Is nee
cssory to liquldate the claims Of our
citizens, and subsequently determine
whether all the remainder should be
retained by the government as its
proper share, Tho United States Is not
in favor OF the proposed scheme TO
raise and guarantee an international
loan for China, out Of the proceeds of
which she can liquidate her indebted
ness to the powers. The United States
iS willing TO accept the bonds OF China,
without Endorsement by any power, at
. per cent interest, and thus make
manifest to the world the sincerity of
the American profession that the
United States desires TO help China to
her feet and preserve her political in
tegrity.

dition, with plenty OF feed on the prai-

pressed with this country as one Of the
finest mixed farming countries We
have ever seen. The immense tracts
Of fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantly watered leave nothing to
be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited tho Yorkton district in
Assiniboia, We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able to see--wheat
yielding % bushels, oats 60 bushels.
