A gentle rain has visited this section of

MR.. OLSON RETURNS.
Missing Man Had Been Looking After
Some Land Interests.

Thron Olson, the young Sterling
farmer who was reported as missing,
and whose absence is said to have
caused uneasiness to his family and
friends, was in Mankato this forenoon,
guest at the Stahl House. He had
been home over Sunday, and was
starting for Yellow Medicine county,
where he has farm. He stated to d
Free Press reporter that he was on a
trip to the northwestern part of Min
nesota looking after some land, for
seven weeks past, and did not know
that his absence had caused anyone to
worry. He owns some land up there,
but did not buy any more on this trip.
Mr. Olsen is an intelligent young
man, with good start in life, and
seems to be one who is able to take
care of himself His safe return hal
raised the load of anxiety from hi
relatives and friends.

PNEUMONIA WEATHER.
Stick 10 Your Heavy Clothing and
Avoid Sickness.

This is the kind of weather when
one should look sharp to avoid pneu-
monia. The present month has been
an unusually healthy one so far as all
contagious diseases. except small pox,
are concerned aud the health depart
ment medical men see no reason to
fear any bad results, from the present
sloppy weather so far as the conta-
gious diseases are concerned, says the
Minneapolis Journal. But they do
fear a run of pneumonia. Their ad-
vice is to stick to the accustomed win
ter clothing, under and outer, and put
up with the discomfort with the best
face possible until the weather changes
permanently for the better. Any de-
parture fom this rule will result in at
least bad cold and in many cases
pneumonia.

Having been defeated as rider on

man Loud and other members of the

idea cf letting the rural deliver work
to the lowest bidder, in the shape of
separate bill What object they have
in so changing system that is now
working satisfactorily is not plain.
The department does not want the
change neither do the patrons along
the routes. AS it is now, the depart
ment will in time, build up most
admirable service, competent in every
respect. Changed to the contract
system there would be no chance for
the Improvement in the service, that
is now afforded. 1t is a scheme that
should be killed, and farmers every
where ought to flood their representa-
tives as we'll as the senators with
protests against it. In this connection
we would say that there is bill now
before congress, introduced by Con
gresham McCleary which increases
the salaries of tie rural carriers, but
it does not go far enough. 1t ought
to be amended SO as to make the
amount received on the third year
1890. That is small enough amount
to ask good man to do the work and

NEW BANK PLAN.
Congressman McCIeary Will Propose
a New Scheme in Matter of Bank
Loans.

Congressman MCCleary VIII propose
a New Scheme in Matter of Bank
Loans.
A Washington special to the Pioneer
Press says:
Representative McCleary, who has
been in correspondence with bankers
and financiers in all parts of the
country, in regard to the plan which
he is trying to PERFECTION permitting
national banks to loan money on mort
cages, has not yet completed the work
of digesting the correspondence, but he
has reached the conclusion that the
plan, as originally contemplated, and
which is favored by most of his cor
respondents, will not work out right.
He has become convinced that to
permit commercial banks to use a
large bart of their deposits for loans
on land security would not be desir-
able. He finds that, in the main, the
correspondents in different states be-
lieve that some way should be opened
for permitting banks to loan money on
land security and the complaint is
general that, in the present system,
little opportunity is given for getting
out among the people large accumula-
tions of funds, which lie idle in the
banks.
Prof McCleary is convinced that
some plan may be arranged, and he
is now working on plan permitting
loans on land security of a certain per-
centage of the time deposits. which
would not have the tendency to tie up,
on long time loans, the cash that is
required for the ordinary commercial
business.
1t is probable that Mr.. McCleary
will soon introduce a bill making
provisions for allowing such loans.

letter for the interest of humanity.
[ am a travelling man and on my
way from Good Thunder to st. Clair
my attention was drawn to smoke
issuing from a school house door. L
supposed it was On fire and stopped
to investigate what was the trouble.
At that time small boy came running
out with tears running down his
cheeks. asked him what was wrong.
He said the stove smoked so bad they
could not see one another in the room.
How long has it been that way2"
l asked him. "Four months, was
the reply. "Why do not your school
officers do something to remedy it?".
He said they poured kerosene in it
once and that was all they did do.
1t is my opinion they are old bachelors
and never intend to have children of
their own, or if they did they never
would see them punished in so shock
ing manner. If the like happened
in my state and the officers did not
attend to it, it would be case for
the grand jury. We would be dealt
with severely if we treated dumb ami
mails in so cruel a manner. But maybe
the laws of Minnesota tolerate such
wickedness to go on if so then for
one hope never to live inside her
borders.

The passage of the jacobson tax
bill by the house late yesterday after
noon by the vote of "a to 30 was GER
tainly a decided compliment to its
author. He has been most ardent
worker in behalf of tax reform and
while his bill is not all that could be
desired in many ways, still it seems to
be the best that can be secured at the
present time and is step forward in
the line desired and to this extent at
least Mr.. jacobson is entitled to
great deal of credit. What will be
the fate of the bill in the senate is
question but if it passes that body 1t
will doubtless be after numerous
amendments,

There has been much said from time
to time on the part of some about the
extravaganza of the state university.
In this respect the alumni association
of that institution has prepared a
staterlent regarding the financial man
agement of the institution and COM
pairing it with other universities.
From it, we learn that the expendi-
ures of Minnesota 8 university is $412,
1874. 80, or cost of $3.50. per student.
This is considerably less per student
than is the cost at the universities of
Michigan and Illinois, both of which
expend $t35. 40 per student; or of Iowa
which expends $197.S6; Wisconsin,
S169. 80, and California, $159.70.
Minnesota seems to be doing pretty
well. 1t has an attendance of 3,412.
which is only exceeded by that of
Michigan.

with such provision is, as has been
pointed out repeatedly by those oppos-
ed to it, how to estimate the true or
taxable value of franchise.
No matter what the outcome of this
bill may be, the proposed constitu-
tional amendments ought to contain a
provision which will allow "a gross
earnings tax to be imposed upon all
corporations which are granted fran
chises. We believe this could be the
fairest manner in which to adjust the
taxation problem as regards them, and
that more nearly their just portion ct
the tax burden could thus be secured.

THE TAX BILL IN THE SENATE

THE TAX BILL IN THE SENATE.
The jacobson tax bill is not apt to
have as easy road in the senate as it
did in the house, if the action Satur-
day when it was received by the SEN
ate, is to be taken as criterion. The
bill was referred to the tax committee,
which will give hearings to different
interests, but it is understood that it
must be reported back to the senate
some time Wednesday. There will be
decided opposition to the tonnage tax
on iron ore, despite the fact that an
amendment was adopted by the house,
which allows certain percentage to
revert back to ST. Louis county where
all, or nearly all, of the tax will come
from. One of the strongest objections
to the tax, is that when the mines shut
down, the tax will stop. and the valu-
able properties will escape bearing
the burdens of state and local govern
ment. From this standpoint. it would
seem that tax on the assessed valua-
tion would be much more just and
fair, to the community at least, and
just as fair to the property. Other
property is obliged to stand its share
of taxation whether it is earning any
thing or not. So should the mines. If
taxed on an assessed valuation, State
Auditor Dunn says that the valuation
will be doubled this year, and that the
assessed valuation as result would
not be far from $50, 600, 600, yielding q
tax as large or larger than the tonnage
tax would This would be more fair
to the local communities and just as
fair to the state, while the object OF
fair and just taxation would be reach
ed On the other hand it is stated
that Auditor Dunn is but one member
of the state board of equalization and
may not be able to bring about this
object. However, it must be remem.
bered that strong sentiment is being
aroused as a result of the tax discus
sion this winter, which would proba
bly, crystalize to point that would
help out the idea put forth by Auditor
Dunn to great extent.
There will also be much opposition
to the proposition to tax franchises o.
public service and other corporation
provided in the bill, but this may pos
sibly not develop to point sufficiently
strong to defeat it. The difficulty
