Judge Lewis and jury are hearing the

that they have proved beyond question
that early closing not only does not di-
minish their trade, but on the contrary
increases it. and proves a saving in
their business. He will publish these

the effect of convincing a great many
employers in smaller cities that it will
be an economical movement to adopt
the early closing plan. saving heat and
light expense, while losing nothing of
their trade.

result of his efforts to suppress the vio-
latiOn of the law governing the employ
ment of children. When he started his
crusade, ne personally visited the larg-
est employers in the cities, and outlined

been made to the bureau, and every

SCHOOL AND FARM
SUPT. OLSEN LEAVES TO ADDRESS
FARMERS AT MONTE
VIDEO
FIRST STEP OF MOVEMENT
Closer Relationship Between Farm
and School Interests Is to BE
systematically FOstered
by Department..

State Superintendent ]. w. Olsen left
last night for Montevideo, where he will
deliver an address to the Farmers lr-
stltute which is now in session at that
place. He will discuss Rural School
Environment" and will dwell especially
upon the relation Of the rural school,
the farm home, and how the two NAV
cooperate for the advantage of each
This is the initial step in n movement
approved by both Supt. Gregg, of the
Farmers Institutes, and Supt. Olsen,
having for its purpose the closer union of
the farm end school interests, the main
result of which is hopefully expected to
be an added interest taken in the schools
by the rural committees and a ccrre-
spending improvement in the character
of the rural schools and the educational
spirit in rural communities
Supt. Gregg has long believed in the
idea, and educational men have long been
discussing the practicablity of giving
agricultural instruction in the public
schools, and in this state a beginning
has been made by a legislative 9ppro-
priation, to be expended in the distribu-
ton of agricultural study leaflets among
the schools. These leaflets are to be pre-
pared by Prof. w. M. Hays, i'll conference
with the department of public instruc-
ton. Supt. Gregg is DESTROYS that ed
ucational topics, discussed by education
al people, become part of the Farmers
Institutes
Conversely, lectures on practical agri-
culture will be Incorporated in the state
summer school courses as soon as con-
ditions will permit. Nature study has
always been an important part of the
summer school work. A gradual and log
zeal step from nature study, as now pur-
sued, to more practical agricultural study
will be advocated.
Prof. Hays, Supt. Gregg, Supt. Olsen
and other educators believe that this is
one of the first essential steps to be
Eaker preparatory to introducing the
elementary study of agriculture into the
public schools. The one obstacle in the
way of this movement is the fact that
so few teachers are qualified to teacn
it. AS soon as the summer schools be-
gin to put this into the course Of study,
the teachers Will be forthcoming. This
will come gradually, first as a series of
lectures, and finally regular, well de-
fined course of study. 1t is proposed
also to inaugurate such a course in
the state normal schools as soon as it
becomes practical. This would be an
ether step toward supplying teachers
competent to give this instruction In
elementary agriculture.

WATER FRONT TAXES.
WHICH ESTABLISHES A
PRECEDENT
ASSESSMENT IS ALLOWED
Case Was That of Maca1ester College
on Appeal From Application
for Judgment on De-
IinQuent Taxes.

Judge Kelly filed his decision yester-
day in the case involving the taxes as
sessed against Macalester college, and the
decision is of more than ordinary impor-
tance from the fact that among other
points which are thereby settled it es-
tablishes a precedent in the matter OF
water frontage tax.
The case came before the court on an
appeal of the trustees of the college from
an application for judgment for delin-
quent taxes for 1899, including the water
frontage tax. There were three parcels
of land separately taxed.
AS to the portion described as the north
ten acres of the east forty acres the
court upholds the objection of the trus-
tees to the assessment of general taxes
amounting to 1921 81 on the ground that
this land is a portion Of the college
grounds, and as such is exempt from gen.
eral taxes. Judgment as to that item was,
therefore, denied.
Judgment was also denied as to a water
frontage tax upon the south seven acres
of the forty-acre tract. This ruling, how
ever, was based entirely upon the fact
that the property involved had in the
original assessment roll been incorrectly
described.
The trustees had also objected to water
frontage tax on the south twelve acres
of the north nineteen acres Of the forty
acre tract amounting to $74, but as to
this item the objection was overruled and
judgment ordered.
AS to this last item of taxation the
college based it's claim to exemption on
the following grounds
Tie entire tract is exempt from general
taxation and the water frontage tax is
| really portion of the general tax and is
net a local tax.
The water frontage tax is unconstitu-
! tional, because the amendment of 1881
provided that the legislature could grant
authority to a city to assess the tax,
while in fact the assessment was made
ton.
That the assessment Of the water 'front.'
age tax undertakes to deprive the own
ers of property without due process of
| law.

SUNDAYS LEFT OUT.
Pressed Steel Car Company Gets
Small Verdict Against E. of Nj.


Small Verdict Against e. of NJ.
The suit of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany against the Eastern Railway Of
Minnesota, which has been on trial in
the United States court before Judge
Lochren, was brought to a close rather
abruptly yesterday, in verbal order
of the court directing the jury to find
a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$29, 1926.
The plaintiff demanded $15100O, alleged
to be due as a balance on "a con-
tract for ore cars sold and delivered to
the defendant. The defendant denied the
obligation, taking the ground that IN
der the terms of the contract that
amount merely represented the forfeiture
which the plaintiff had agreed to for
failure to deliver the cars at the time
specified, which was April l, 1900. 1t was
set forth that the cars were all deliver
ed subsequent to--that date, and that
the forfeit agreed upon in the contract
was s. per car per day, which in all, 1t
was represented amounted to the sum
involved
The plaintiffs attorneys precipitated the
determination of the case by presenting
a motion yesterday to exclude Sundays
in the computation of the forfeit money.
The attorneys for the defendant ar
gued that the terms of the contract were
explicit en- that point, and it was plainly
stated that the forfeiture should accrue
for every day of delay in the delivery
of the cars, NO exception being made
Of Sundays, and that for that reason the
method of computation should be the
same as in figuring interest-the days
being merely taken into account as units
Of compensation
The court ruled that the Sundays
should be excluded, and the amount
which had been included for the eight
Sundays was then figured, with interest,
and the jury instructed to find yer
dict for the plaintiff for that amount

MORE FLAWS FOUND
DULUTH DISCOVERS NEW PoIN,r I'M
TAX LAW TO PRO-
TEST ON
TAXING OF GRAIN IN TRANSIT
Declared That if Clause Becomes
operative, Grain Business of
Duluth VIII Go to
Superior.

II the people of Duluth keep on find
ing naWS in the new tax law there
VIII surely be lively time at The ex
ira session. For the past week they
nave peen making a very earnest pro-
test against the new method Of taxing
Hoatng property. They now find an
other clause in the new law which thew
think was made especially 10 cripple
mat city. 1t is the clause relating to
the taxation of grain in terminal eIcva
tors A prominent Duluth grain man
says:
The proposition of the tax commits
sion regarding the taxation Of grain in
terminal elevators is worse than the
measure known as the Daley bill, intro
ouCeo IN the last legislature, and which
was properly killed. Grain in the ter
minal elevators at Duluth is in transit
and should not be taxed. Flour in tran
sit is not taxed, and grain should not
be. If the laws everywhere were the
same as the one proposed for this state
grain could be taxed at Duluth, again at
Buffalo and again at New York. Grain
should be taxed no doubt, but it is no
time to do it when it Is on the way to
market. The tax commissions report
provides that grain In terminal eleva-
tors, owned by the company or a non
resident, shall be assessed as personal
property, and at its full value. The as
sessing Of grain at it's full value is tho
only point at which the law is worse
than was the Daley bill. The taxes
would be two or three times as much as
the elevators get for handling. Under
the proposed law. which is somewhat
vague, it would seem that the elevators
become deputy tax collectors
''The effect of this law, if it becomes
operative, via be to drive much grain
business from Duluth to Superior 1t
will be a fine boost for the Superior
board of trade, for it can, under its
laws, pay more for wheat, and thereby
get the deliveries. 1t does not seem
proper that this law be adopted without
amendments"
The Duluth people express themselves
as confident that the legislature will
knock out this provision and the one pro-
viding for the taxation Of vessels, when
the real effect of the two clauses uFon
