committee appointed to confer with
the board OF control held
session with the latter body, discussed
the general situation and arrived at an
agreement subject to the approval Of the
normal board. AS result of the agree
ment the board of control will hereafter
deal directly with the normal board, and
not with the five normal schools. The
plan of cooperation in carrying on the
affairs of the normal schools is as fol-
lows:
Hereafter all correspondence pertaining
to normal school matters Will be between
the normal school board and the board
of control. The board of control sill adj
dress its cen munications to J. w. Olsen,
secretary normal school board.
Estimates for supplies for the normal
school will he prepared by the normal
school board, and receive its affidavit
before being sent to the board of con-
troll
Contracts with employees. with state
rents of amounts of salaries. together
with monthly pay rolls, will be forwarded
by the normal school board, with its APP
prevail, to the board of control.
An itemiZed statement of the necessary
expenses of the normal school board
and Of the respective members thereof
will be sent TO the board of control upon
proper blanks and vouchers.
The board of control will appoint the
boeokkeepers at the normal schculs at
Winona, Mankato, st. Cloud and Moor
head, purchasing agents for the reSpec-
tiveS schools, all disbursements made by
SOch purchasing agents TO be hrSt APP
proved by the resident directors of said
schools, and to be for emergencies only.
AT the normal school at Duluth the
board of control will appoint Prof
Bchannon its purchasing agent. 1t is
understood that the purchasing agents
are to do the business without pay other
than their regular salaries.
1t is estimated by the normal school
board that the necessary expenses of
preparing the estimates and attending to
the business of the normal school board,
outside of the personal expenses of the
members, will not exceed SIS per month.
The board Of control took action on
the Duluth school vouchers for the build
ing, plumbing and heating of the new
school.
President Ankeny and Secretary Olsen
expressed themselves as satisfied with
the new arrangement. and are sure that
the normal board will approve.
The opening of the Duluth school on
March is now an absolute impossi-
biiity. Before the opening the board of
control will have to receive statement
of the necessary equipment and purchase
such equipment, and this win take some
tine. The general sentiment now is that
the Duluth school will open Sept.
when the other schools open.

TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN
e. p. BACON SAYS INTERSTATE
COMMERCE LAW is INOPERATIVE.

e. p. Bacon, the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the interstate COM
merce law convention, which was held
at st. Louis Nov. 20, 1900, met number
of local business men at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms yesterday afternoon,
and in an informal talk explained the
real plans Of his committee
In the opinion of the executive com
mittee chairman new interstate com
merce bill is an absolute necessity. The
present interstate commission, he ex-
planned, Is nothing more than debat-
ing committee. The members meet and
discuss freight rates. After a lengthy
consideration Of the matters at hand the
commission announces what it believes
should be done, and there the thing ends.

without power. 1t can make a simple

AGAINST TAX CODE
BANKERS, FILE MANY OBJECTIONS
AGAINsT PROPOSED
~ LAW
ADDRESS BY GEN. CHILDs
Warmly Defends Work OF Himself
and Colleagues, and Says
People VIII IndOrse 1t
if 1T Is Tried.

After thel close of the meeting of the
state bankers at the capitol yesterday,
the visiting members became the guests
Of the bankers of the Twin Cities at a
banquet held at the Ryan hotel. One
hundred and twenty-five people sat down
to the table and after dinner was over
toasts were drunk to the new state bank
examiner, Mr.. Johnson, who responded
IN few well chosen words.
Gen. II. w. Childs, who was a member
OF the tax commission that prepared the
new tax code, gave an elaborate explana-
tlon OF the bill. He took it up section by
section and explained the application of
each particular portion of the bill. He
SAID that it was largely copied after the
law which was passed in indiana a
rev years ago and which became so sue
cesstul IN its operation in that state
After reviewing and commenting upon
each section he concluded with these re-
marks:

the spirit OF justice, would be compelled
to, confess that he had unwisely coun-
seled with his fears.
The provisions of the bill have been
drawn with great care, with respect to
the enforcement Of real estate taxes

law IN this regard has been preserved

OMAHA ROAD TNTIMATES THAI
CHARTER GROSS EARNINGS
TAX IS ILLEGAL
PRELIMINARY TILT
Attorney Pierce Butler Says Conn
pany Is willing to Test Mat
ter in Courts at
Any Time.

While admitting a judicial opinion will
be necessary to solve the puzzle, Cor
poration Attorney Markham is inclined
to think that all railroads permitted the
use of the streets in the construction Of
spur tracks and other public service pur-
poses are amenabIe to the per cent gross
earnings provision of the new charter
The railroad companies generally dissent,
but say they are more than willing to
meet the issue if it resolves itself into a
legal controversy.
The preliminaries in the struggle that
must eventually ensue were inaugurated
yesterday at the meeting of the commit
tee on streets of the board of aldermen
when the Omaha road, through it's at
torney, Pierce Butler, refused an ordi-
nance granting them trackage rights on
the West side. TO obviate the imposition
of the tax, Mr. Markham had made the
rights granted by the ordinance revoka-
bic at the will of the council. Otherwise
he held he would have to include the
charter limit, twenty-five years, and COM
pei acceptance of all charter provisions.
The revokabIe feature Mr.. Butler refus-
ed, but he was willing to accept if a
term of years was set, also the charter
provisions, as he was positive they never
company was willing to meet the issue
at any time if the all of the courts
was invoked by the city. For some time
all rights granted railroad companies
have had the revokable feature imposed
in order to get around the charter re-
quirements. This is the first time dis
cussion or refusal has resulted, and the
controversy is likely in the near future
to find its way TO the courts
The trackage rights in question are for
the benefit of West side manufacturers,
who have been promised spur tracks to
their respective factories A number Of
the owners were present yesterday and
secured the promise of an ordinance that
would be acceptable to the Omaha COM
pany. The committee decided to make
the time limit ten years, after which
the city could order the removal Of the
tracks if necessary This was acceptable
go Mr.. Butler
The Omaha representatives main OBJ
lection to the revokable feature, it is said,
is DR.. Ohage's active campaign against
their henming in his island with a mass
of tracks. If the right was made revoka-
bic at any time they fear that the doctor
might give them trouble.

marks a motion was placed before the
meeting to provide for the printing and

though it had several ardent supporters,
was lost because many of the members
were afraid that the act would be inter-

such a mistake to occur as they did not
favor all the provisions Of the proposed

E. J. Hodgson president of the Security
Trust company, 2 of st. Paul. spoke
against the tax code saying 1t was a
movement in the wrong direction. He
saw in it an effort to subject more per-
sonal property to taxation than is the
case under the. present law. He thought
such a thing mistake, and that the
movement should rather be toward re-
moving all personal property from taxa
ton. He expressed himself as being un-
quali1edly in favor of the single tax
standard.

with little favor among the members as

the same topic. Another objection was
raised to the bill which seemed to meet
