The bill authorizing loans to needy
farmers for seed grain passed both
branches Of the legislature under sus-
pension of the rules and was imme-
diately signed by the governor. It's
purpose is to relieve farmers who live
in sections ofthe state which were Wis
tied by total crop failure last season
by loaning them money sufficient to
procure seed this spring. The audit
ors in these countries were notified Of
the enactment Of the law by telegraph
so that no unnecessary delay would
ensue.

DUTIES OF THE TAX connIssloN.

DUTIES OF THE TAX COr1r1lSSlON
Messrs Childs, Ives and Hair
who constitute the tax commission
authorized by the legislature anc
appointed by the governor, andito1
and attorney general, are clothed
with powers and weighted respon'
.sibiIities, none the less important in
that their work must be approved by
the legislature, or, in case of constit'
utional amendments, by the people,
of the state. We have DO doubt the
commissioners recognize to the full,
the gravity of their duties, which are
defined in section two of the bill
authorizing the commission, in the
following language:
''The duties of said commission
shall be to make tax code for the
state of Minnesota. Such code shall
include a complete system for the
just and equitable taxation of all
forms of property, both tangible and
intangible, and shall be properly
indexed, and prepared in the form of
"a bill or bills for presentation to the
Legislature. Said code Eshall include
provisions for a permanent tax
commission, and shall define it's dut-
les, powers and compensation. The
commission shall also prepare and re-
port bill or bills providing foy any
constitutional amendments which may
he necessary for properly carrying
out the system of taxation ..recomc
mended by the commission,
1t is very possible that the question |
of the increased gross errnings tax:on |
railways will be submitted to the
commission in so far as the constitu-
tional definitions and perplexities
are concerned, and this of itself is a
measure SO far reaching and import
ant es to add very materially to the
burden of responsibility placed upon
the gentlemen. If Messrs. Childs,
Ives and Hahn succeed, as we believe
they will do, in codifying the tax
laws of the state and preparing one
or more bills that shall result in just
and equitable assessment, upon
tangible and intangible property sub
ject to taxation, they will deserve the
lasting thanks of their fellow citizens
and all the honor attaching to the
doors of good and profitable work.

The Legislature is again fooling
with the school book contract cues

that can be said in favor of binding
the state to buy all school books of
a certain firm, for even the argument
that it would be cheaper cannot be
supported.

On the Goth OF June, 1897, in .he yray
dawn OF the early morning, the archbish-
op of Canterbury and the lord chamberlain
knocked loudly at the door of hensington
palace. the London home of tie duchess
of Kent and her daughter, Alexandria
Victoria. As soon AS they had gained ad-
mittance. they demanded the presence Of
the young girl, and when, few moments
later, clad in a light morning gown, her
eyes filed with wonder, she stood before
them, they saluted her queen OF Grea,
Britain.
1t was in 1896, when the queen WAS IL,
