GERMANS DESIRE MEAT
PROTEST AGAINST THE GOVERN
TENT, RESTRICTION ORDER.
Chemists and Packers Say Meats Pre-
served with BOrncic Acid Are
Not Injurious to Health.

BERLIN, May "a conference of chem
lists and meat packers was held here to-
day to protest against the prohibition Of
the Bundezrath concerning the use of
boracic acid in the preservation of meat
and the importation Of meats so preserved.
The opening address was made by Dr.
Kayser, of Nuremberg. He said that S.
100000 people in Germany were already
eating much less meat than their health
required; that the decree of the Bundez-
rath tended further to reduce the available
meat supply, limiting the imports of for
eign and the preservation of domestic
meats. In addition to this, however, de-
clared DR.. Kayser, the meat export in
dustry of Germany would be hard hit, as
it would lose its competing capacity abroad.
Privy Medical Councillor Prof. Liebrech
went co~mprehensively into the chemical
side of the controversy with regard to the
use of borAcic acid. He said the trouble
with the experts OF the Imperial Health
Office was that they considered the SUBJ
ject from one side only; that they sought
to make out a case against the use OF boraX
In any form or quantity, arguing from the
principle that If il was injurious in large
quantities IL must also be so when used in
small quantities. The tendency of food
ingredients to natural food products Is
wholly untenable in practice, said the
speaker. Health can be injured by the use
of too much pepper or mustard, and small
quantities of borax are perfectly harmless.
Professor Liebrech said he had used borax
incidentally with good effect upon his pa
tients. He ridiculed the experiments con-
Quoted by the Imperial Health Office as
mere academical efforts.
DR.. Gerlach, of Wiesbaden, who followed
Professor Liebrech, showed the untenable-
ness of the technical report accompanying
the Bundezrath prohibition.
Drs. Lebbin and Lohmann, of Berlin,
also contributed papers against the prohi-
bition of the use of meats prepared with
boracic acid. The conference passed a reso-
luton TO the effect that the prohibition of
the Bundezrath was indefensible on scien-
tiic grounds.

held and at that time a proposition was

A LOBBY AGAINST TAX BILL
Bankers Likely to Join Forces With Grain Men
and Vessel Owners

| The various interests opposed to the
| new tax bill are beginning to declare
| themselves in no uncertain terms. Friends
of the bill will he confronted by one of
the most powerful Hobbies ever assembled
in the history of the state. Should these
interests continue they will endanger the
passage of the bill in any shape whatever.
The grain men of Dulut b, and Minneapo-
lis have been heard from. They will op-
pose the taxation Of grain in elevators.
Duluth will oppose, the ad valorem taxa
ton of vessels with a united front. Now
it is the banks that have aroused to what
they consider grave danger in the new
measure. ...
1t is understood that the savings banks
of the twin cities are raising fund with
which they will maintain lobby at the
capital. The figures mentioned are lib
eral. Their opposition to the bill is di-
rected at a vital point. .
Taxation Of Deposits.
Under the present laws, all money is
supposed to be taxed AS a matter Of
fact, money in banks is seldom listed and
assessors never make any attempt to get
at it. Savings banks pay three per cent,
and in Minneapolis the Ptax of twenty
HVe mllAS would prectlcally take all the
income from deposits. The new law re-
Quires every person to make a statement
under OATH and penalty is fixed for fail
ure to list any item Of value. Assessors
do not have access to bank books, but the
public examiner does, and under the sys-
tenn of mailing assessment lists it will
be much harder to conceal such property.
Savings bank officers declare that the
new law will have the effect Of causing
depositors to withdraw their funds before
April 1. This will compel the banks to
call in their loans, and paralyze business,
if not create a. panic.
The members of the tax commission ex-
planned in their report that under the
constitution. they had no authority. to ex-
empt any class of property. Until the
constitution is changed, savings bank de-
positors will have to be taxed. In the
same way they explain the change in
vessel taxation. The present tonnage
tax is unconstitutional and the tax COM
missioners felt that they could not con-
tinue it.
A Delay Favored.
