New York. Feb. Il. - It is understood
that the Morgan party now desires that
the Northern Securities matter be
thrashed out in the supreme court and
finally settled there. For awhile the street
suspected that this suggestion was a con-
trivance Of the professional bull clique de-
signed mainly to discount decision per-
uniting Minnesota to bring suit and that
lit lacked authoritative warrant
Careful inquiry at quarters where good
Morgan information usually obtains has
shown, however. that such really is the
mental attitude Of the Morgan party
These interests are understood to have
agreed that it was better, even at the cost
of protracted Period of uncertainty, tC
have the legal status Of the Securities
| finally fixed by the highest court, so thai
the principle of community Of interest
should be no longer left exposed to ha-

| the testimony of some Well-informed per-
sons is as reliable as it seems, the Nor
gan party will consider its greater enc

Ibe entertained. Similar satisfaction
would also be felt in other quarters.

BRIEF FROM THE BEAR
Russian Official View of the Anglo.
Japanese Compact.

Russian Official View of the Anglo
Japanese Compact.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 14.-The Russian
official view of the Japanese English
treaty was made public to-day, as fol-
lows: 90 - ~.
We accept the news of the entente with
the most complete quaninity and are very
are pledged to maintain the integrity of
China and the independence of Korea, two
principles which Russia was the first to es-
tablish as the basis of her foreign policy in
the orient. Russia would willingly have
subscribed to the agreements in the pre-
amble The English and Japanese say their
convention has only essentially pacific aims.
This makes it all the more astonishing when
they speak of and coalitions. What
power they have in view we cannot say. Bur
in any case, If peace is menaced in the ex-
IRENE orient, Russia, for her part, will not
fail to take all the measures necessary to
safeguard her interests. All Russias con-
ventions with Japan have aimed at the pres
ervation of the integrity of China and the
independence of Korea.
We have reason to believe it is not true
that America, with which we remain in per-
fact accord, is a silent partner in the affair.
We have given America positive assurance
that Russia will do nothing which will dis
turb the interests of America in China. We
do not believe America is anxious about the
| situation. Furthermore, We have received
satisfactory assurance that America is not
| taking any steps against US in China.

A WALLACE AMENDMENT

1t Embod1es Auditor Dunn's Sug-
gestiOns on Exemptions.
The daily constitutional amendment
appeared in the house this morning. It
was introduced by Mr.. Wallace of Hen
nepin, and embodies the suggestions made
Yesterday by State Auditor Dunn as to
exemptions.
The bill amends sections i, 8, of arti-
Gle of the constitution. The first sec
| ton porvides that "the power of taxation
shall never be surrendered or suspended"
It then includes the provision for levy
ing assessments for improvements, for
an inheritance tax, either graded or
progressive, for an income tax not over
S per cent, and for a tax on mortgages
not to exceed 1 per cent.
Section 3 recapitulates the present ex-
emptions, and adds household goods Of the
head of a family to the amount of $3.50,
deposits in banks to the amount of $500,
and all bonds issued by the state or any
subdivision thereof.
Section authorizes the legislature to
apportion to the counties the revenue to
be raised for state purposes, and to pro-
vide for apportioning state and county
taxes to cities, villages, townships.
The bill was referred to the judiciary
committee, which has not met to con-
slider the question Of amendments, but is
waiting until the hearings on the code
are finished.
Um1and Felt Injured.
Mr.. Umland of Ramsey sent to the
clerks desk copy of an article printed
in the st. Paul News, Feb. II. 1t declared
that the legislature was not doing any
| thing but draw Its money. that it had only
been in session three hours and twenty
minutes but that the clerks doctored the
records to make 1t appear that more time
was put in. Mr.. finland offered a resolu-
ton declaring the article an impeach-
ment of the integrity of the house ard
denying the privilege of the floor to the
representative of the paper.
The house treated the article and the
resolution as joke. On rising vote no
one voted for it but Mr.. Umland and his
two neighbors, DR.. Hemstead and G. w.
Armstrong. Only dozen rose to vote
against 1t.
James A. Peterson moved that the reso-s
luton be expunged from the records. Mr..
Umland protested, and declared the arti-
Gle a reflection on the house and it's Off
GERS which deserved rebuke. The Peter
son motion finally prevailed.
Governors Request Referred.
The first request from the governor met
with rather~a harsh reception. 1t came
with bill introduced BIZ ]. A. Peterson

/ ploy a stenographer. Mr. Peterson asked
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-02-14

House members who favor a tax bill do
not want it delayed in committee. Now
that hearings are finished, they demand a
speedy report
Mr.. Haugland offered resolution this
morning calling for a report not later
than next Monday. Mr.. Laybourn, lead
err of the opposition, gave notice OF de-
BATE and the resolution went over until
tomorrow under the rules. s.-
8 Tomorrow it is expected that the com
mittee will reach a showdown on the
bill. All interests with objections have
been heard. Farmers have been heard
through petitions, and many have awaited
themselves of the invitation extended by
the house. So far as any one knows, to-
days session concluded the hearings.
Tomorrow morning the house commit
tee will probably vote on the bill. It's
friends in the committee are desirouse to
get the measure before the house as soon
as possible, and are not particular about
the method. It's opponents in the com
mittee will try motion to defer it to
the next session. The other side, will
maintain that the house has already
vot ed to make it a special order and that
| the bill must be reported out in some
form. ;eszs 1-=-gs@-.sss
It may be done in two ways. The COM
mittee will not recommend it for passage
in it's present form. It will either amend
| the bill to meet the principal objections,
or report it out without recommendation,
and let the amendments be made on the
! floor of the house. The feeling just now
seems to favor the latter course. Every
eventually and it will only be waste
| of time for the committee to work over
| the amendments:
! A majority of the committee is favora-
BILE to the passage of a tax bill at this
session, and will probably agree to this
| program.
| Both house and senate held brief SEES
sions this morning. The important feat
| ure of the senate session was the pass
age of H. F. 10, by S. D. Peterson, re-
leasing Colonel Joseph Bobleter from his
| bond as state treasurer. This bill passed
the house without a word Of opposition
but was expected to strike a snag in the
| senate. It. went through, however, under
| suspension of the rules and without q
] word of protest.
It is understood that house member
| will introduce bill in day or two re-
leasing the sureties who have settled will
the state for $4,000.

Missoula Switchmen Bring
Northern Pacific Road
to Time.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Missoula, Mont, Feb. 14.-The switch
man strike in the railroad yards of the
Northern Pacific, which has been on since
Sunday last, was settled to-day by the
acceptance of the division super
intendent of every condition named by the
strikers in the overtures for an adjust
ment.
Without the settlement, which was ac-
complished last night after a stormy con-
ference Of three hours, it is probable the
service on the Northern Pacific would
have been tied up. The difficulty arose
from the refusal of the men to switch
with a road engine. This they need not
now do.
The men discharged for such refusal are
reinstated and full pay for time lost is
allowed. The outcome if the trouble is
considered a great victory for organized
labor.

TREASURERS OBJECT
Their Plant Presented by ID. c. Bell
to House Members.

to House Members.
" D. c. Bell, treasurer of Hennepin
county, opened the discussion of the tax
bill before the house committee this
morning. He stated the objections of the
county treasurers, formulated at their
recent meeting.
t. He. protested first against the section
providing for the collection of delinquent
taxes by the county treasurer This work,
he said, was proper for the sheriff's
office, and it took the treasurer and his
deputies out of the Office when they
should; be there to attend to the public
His principal objection, however, was
to the section requiring tax statements
to be made out by the county auditor. He
said this would require three times the
present labor and would swamp the,
treasurer's Office in May, when they are
now worked to the utmost extent. People
were satisfied with the present system of
paying taxes, and there was no demand
for change It would make it impossible
for him to handle collections by mail
J. A. Peterson took issue with Mr.. Bell,
and lively colloqly followed as to the
effect of the law. AS far as the expense
is concerned, Mr.. Roberts contended that
it would be small. Triplicate statements
could be made out with carbons, and the
printing would be no heavier than at
present. Mr.. Peterson developed the fact
that the change is Endorsed by the audi
tors of the state. Mr.. Bell said that was
|. no doubt true, but he saw no necessity for
| greater check on the treasurer.
E. j. Metzdorf, county treasurer OF
/ Ramsey, followed along the same line. He
! said, however that the provisions OF the
new law with regard to refundments We're
proper.
"Under the present law" said Mr..
! Jacobson ''does it not cost 300 per cent
| for the sheriff to collect personal taxes?"
eyes, that is true, but under the new
! law you would have to pay the treasurer,s
mileage, just the same
| Auditors Also Heard.
Auditor Brooks of Renville county, said
| that under the present law the county
auditor had absolutely no check on the
I treasury. This check was furnished by
the new law. He did not see what need
| there was for check on the auditor, who
! handles no money. The new law makes
the auditor liable on his bond for mis-
takes. Mr.. Brooks did not believe the new
| law would cause any greater expense IN
most counties, where the practice now Is
! to make three copies of all receipts.
Auditor Olson Of Lake county, stood for

and for the abolition Of the tax on mort

Says We Have broken Faith.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-"Since our occupa-
ton of Cuba we have not done one thing
to repair the rayages of war, We have
established no families in their home
steads nor attempted to restock barren
farms and plantations. We have not
taken single step to extend the COM
merce of the country, SO as to enable
the island to recover from the sdevasta-
ton of recent war.
In these words General James II. Will
son, late governor of Matanzas and re-
cent appointee as delegate to King Ed
wards coronation to represent the United
States army charged neglect of Cuba in
a speech at the Union League club.
The speaker made it plain that an in
depreciation of broken faith might be
placed upon our conduct by the Gubans.
