abusing THE COUBr.

The Dispatch, which in all matters OF
legal concern is but the echo of the
attorney for the $500" railroad, recently
engaged in helping the state of Mime
sofa to badger two of it's great railroad
interests, presents it's and his views Of
the opinion of the supreme court Not
only do they disagree with the conclu-
sions of the supreme court, but they
call the good faith of the court into
question in its decision just announced
in the Northern Securities case.
They cam find only such terms as pc
culiar," absurd, startling" Illogical"
to apply to the conclusions of the nigh
est appellate tribunal in the country.
They do not confne themselves to such
characterizations, however. They close
their opinion by the enunciation Of a
deliberate and serious Misrepresentation
by the court in the following words:
sThe limited quotations from the de-
cIs1on show one thing which can give lit
tie consolation to the merger people. The
supreme court practically decides the
1t says, upon investigation it might turn
out that the allegations of the bill are
well founded and that the state is enti-
tied to relief
Having made the false statement in
vOlved here, the Dispatch accompanies
its falsehood by a challenge, as follows:
IF the merger people can find any con-
ISOLATION in this language we would like
to have it pointed out"
he Clio accepts the challenge. and
says to begin, that the above alleged
quotation from the supreme court is a
lie on its face, since it represents the
court as declaring in so many words that
the allegations of the bill are well found
ed and that the state is entitled 10 the
relief which it is denied. There is not
only lie involved here, but a gross alb
surdity, in representing that the supreme
court denied relief which it thought
ought to be granted.
What the supreme court did say, and
all it said in that behalf, was, not the
false and garbled statement made by the
organ of the $500" railroad, as above,
but the following:
Upon investigation it might turn out
that the allegations of the bill are we'll
founded, and that the state is entitled to
relief, or it might turn out that there is
no intention or design on the part of the
railroad companies to form any combina-
tion in disregard of the policy Of the
state, but what is proposed is consistent
with that policy and advantageous to the
communities affected"
Does this not establish the falsehood
and Misrepresentation deliberately at
tempted of the supreme court and its
decision by the $500" attorney and his
mouthpiece? Let them answer if they
dare.

that's ALL"
The voice from the bath room indicated
plainly that the owner wanted 10 get

the frightened tone she became really
brave

she shouted to the one inside, "and YOU

The Russell family held conference
with the hired girl. Sister insisted that
she recognized Mr.. Higgins voice ana
then the door was unlocked. 1t was pull
ed open and Hiram Higgins, commercial
traveller, with collar in one hand and
shoes in the other stepped out for IN
Spection.
Mrs Russell with the scare over started
to faint and Mr.. Higgins started to eX-
plain. He had taken the count from the
wrong end of the block. His key htted
the front door of the Russell fiat.
Thanks to the hired architect, the flats
were all laid out alike and Higgins
thinking himself in the Higgins fiat had
started a homemade Turkish bath in an

passage.
Mr.. Hurds bill is calculated to correct
mistake made by the legislature in
adopting an amendment to the military
code The amendment was so worded
that the governors staff was excluded
from the national guard. The amendment
was framed at the instance of some of
the officers who wanted to ''get back"
at the staff, and it slipped by even the
warrior Jacobson without being detected.
HUrd explained yesterday that his bill
was calculated to right the wrong done
the distinguished soldiers Of the staff,
but Jacobson had his wooden ear turn

and straightway said that he must in
sist upon an examination of the bill
to be sure that it was only what it was
represented before it was placed on its
final passage. Under the rules Jacob

consigned to the tender mercies of the
melancholy Mr.. Haugland and his COM

Minnesota Jas Problem
BY NORTH Helm.

It is daily becoming more manifest at
every stage of the legislative proceedings
that those most Instrumental in shaping
tax legislation will insist. as a. sine qua
non, upon the taxation Of personal prop
erty on a basis Of its full value This
vehement insistence upon the taxation Of
personality according to it's full value
is most remarkable in the case Of repre-
sentatives Of agricultural districts. whose
interests are so diametricaIly opposed tn
any such method of taxation In fact. the
attitude of such rural members can
hardly be attributed to an intelligent nm
derstanding of the crushing burden which
would thereby be imposed upon the farm
ers of this state. Such members of the
legislature will, doubtless, be interested
in some of the following figures from Of.
fetal sources.
1he present assessed valuation of all
personal property in this state Is s1O7,-
ae944 What proportion thereof repre-
sents the agricultural interests of the
state? Of this total sum, live stock
alone has an assessed valuation at the
present time of $29,195,2 which is dis
tributed as follows between the three
large cities on the one hand, and the
state at large on the other:
81 o'uI ;:s..'''......... ............ .$296, ,153
4lIheapolls ........ ............... 412,145
D"i0bl ''-'''.' 1000. ............... 3O,280
Total in three cities .s7S8, ,5S3
The assessed valuation of live stock in
the three large commercial centers of the
state thus falls short of three-quarters
OF a million dollars. AS against this
small fraction, the state at large. ex
elusive of said cities, owns SIS, ,456 GA
worth of live stock, according to Its as,
sessed valuation.
The latest report Of the United States
government for the year 1900 shows that
the total value of live stock for that
year was $SS, ,753. .240. If these figures are
only approximately accurate, it follows
as the night does the day, that the net
scheme Of some of the Country mem
bers to raise the sessessed valuation
OF all personality to it's fun value
would increase the assessed valuation of
their constituents live stock from S29
