GOOD FORK WE'LL DONE.

1t is not possible at this time to take
under consideration more than one or
two of the admirable suggestions con
tanned in the report of the charter COM
mission. The document is one which
shows its trainers to have been influence
ed by most earnest desire to benefit
the city by their work, and establishes
their freedom from the restraints which
made themselves so plain on the occa-
sion Of other conferences in the past
held for charter-framlng purposes The
people of st. Paul. if they have the sense

lions of the commission, will one dav

which they have given away with lavish
hand and wanton disregard of their own
rights to certain public service corpora
lions.
1t is a crime against responsible gov
eminent that the most important func.
tons of urban life are today discharged
by private corporations which meyer
gave the community dollar of com

That they should have gone virtually nm
taxed shows that. at least with us. the
science Of local government is still in its
crudest and most uniformed condition.
The best commentary that could be
made on our manner of doing business
and of the utter lack of all decent sense
OF public responsibility that has dis.

There is a clean majority Of the tax
committee squarely opposed to the bill,
in most Of its features. But it is taciL1y
understood that that majority probably
will not attempt to kill the bill in COM
mittee. The attempt would probably be
fruitless at best, as the Republican side Of
the house does not dare strange the bill
post haste. The majority will be able
to prevent a committee recommended
ton, however, and the bill will come out
to stand on its merits as boIstered I'D
by a few score amendments. It may not
get out of committee of the whole this
week It cannot, under the agreement
on the opening day, become a special or

The fate Of the tax code is the alI-ab-
sorbing problem of the hour, from
legislative view point One guess is as
good as another and guess is the best
any of the solons can do so far. Until
yesterday the bill had undoubtedly made
some steady if small gains in strength.
That it will not be killed outright is
safe bet. That it will not get out of the
legislature is almost as safe at even
money. The friends" of the bill, who
want it passed practically intact believe
7 that the legislature will be forced to pass
the bill in the end. A larger faction be-
ieves the bill will get through with
enough of it's original machinery and
provisions left to maintain the title and
the factions that do not care what be-
comes of it so long as it is not passed
are without organization, insofar as they
are represented by several crowds and a.
floating vote that is out to make trouble

"JUG" MEDICINE.

Up in little Vermont town they tell Q
story of an old nurse. She was the kind Of
an "old nurse" to be found in small towns,

duced to come 70 the house of the sick wom-
an and take charge. She moved in-cob

After the good creature had seen the case
through, she said to the doctor, Doc, kin I
take my toll?"
Whats that, Sally?" asked the visiting
physician, who had come from the capital
city and was amused and little irritated
by the old woman's ways.

complaeently.

What on earth do you want with the medi-
cine?'
No fifth wheel to a wagon was ever more
redundant than left over medicines.
Il puts it in me jug, replied the old wom-
an slowly, "and then | gives it out occa-
sionally when there amt no doctor nigh"
The visiting physician reared with laugh
ter, but scbered down when the story of
"Old Sally's" ''jug" medicine was explained
to him. That there were not more victims
to her unique methods of cure was a mys-
terry.
