venezuela's Great Riches.
Denver stockman.1

Venezuela is a country where nature
makes miilionaires and some of the best
of the money is now coming to citizens
of this country who have been down there
and used their eyes to good advantage.
The greatest company of Venezuela has
a capital Of $50 O00009 and its headquar-
tiers are in Minnesota. There are gold
mines which have produced So. 900. coo and
paid S23. G19oo0 to their shareholders. The
richness OF its forests is beyond calcuia-
ton, and they will last for centuries. II
has gold. silver. precious stones and 4
hundred things which mean wealth and
which the world wants, and as a matter
of fact its resources have scarcely been
touched, SO great are they.

HTHEN A CUSTOM-HOUSE
Wv official gets down his
book OF rules and regulations
in an endeavor to solve some new
and, to him, lnotty problem, he
usually succee1s in making ridicu-
lous exhibitions of the red-tape brand
of intellect.
Ar instance of this sort occurred
short time ago in San Francisco.
Some relics of the Spanish Philip
pine feet were sent by Lieutenant
Hobson as a present to the state of
Alabama. The customs officials at
San Francisco no sooner saw the
relics than they few to their book of
rules and regulations for assistance.
After serious elaboration they de-
cided that these trophies of victory
could not enter the country without
paying duty.
1t is not known upon what tech
nicality this delightfully."- insane de-
cision was based. 1t may be that
there we're some sections of armour
plate and cannon In the collection,
which would be sufficient TO cSll fer
e 45 per cent al valorem tax on the
ground that they were foreign
manufactures Of iron, II. c. s." Or a
steam whistle may have called for an
application of the tariff On brass
manufactures But whatever may
have been the basis for the decision
1t certainly contained no great adj
mixture of common sense, for, if
anything Is certain, it is that con-
gress never intended the tariff to ap-
ply to trophies of war sent as a gift
to a state.

TWO MORE vEToEs.

Gov. Yates has vetoed the fraternal
insurance and tax ejectment bills.
The fraternal insurance bill proposed
TO limit the expenses of fraternal in
surance companies to 20 per cent OF
their assessments. In vetoing the
bill, the governor says he is convinced
it's operation would be detrimental to
a large number of such companies
and would cause some to 60 into dis
solution.
The other veto was on the bill Civ
ing right to recover money paid for
tax titles where ejectment proceed
ings in tax cases fail to stand. The
governor says he considers the pres
ent law ample protection for Pur-
chasers of tax titles; that the pro-
posed measures would impose addi-
tional hardships upon the poorest of
the people, and would be unnecessary
and unjust.

An interesting feature in Minnesota
politics this year will be the applica-

law for the nomination of candidates
of all parties for most of the offices to
be voted for at the general election.
This law has been so successfully test
ed on the municipal elections AZ Min

has been arranged with high hopes.
Under the provisions Of this law
the voters of the state will nominate
directly. without the interpretation of
party primaries or conventions, can
didates for all local, county. legisla-
tive, congressional and minor judicial
offices. In time. il the law works its
expected benefits, the state execu-

lowing unique letter from q Kansas
farmer: dear Sir:-I have only one
wife and FIVE children-no mother-in-
law. Last Monday night, about two
and-one-half miles east of Marceline,
the cars hit Spot on her caboose end.
We found her Tuesday morning, April
10; she was as dead as door mat.
She left son to low for her. Spot
was q common 10-year-old Music
Fork cow, worth $25. She was a fair
mixer: of kind disposition. During
the seven years we owned her she
never bit any of the children. Please
send me $25 that may get a cow, so
we can have milk for the calf and the
children" The company responded
to this pathetic appeal with an imme-
date settlement.
