TAX LAW UNPOPULAR
SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVE STOCK Elk
VANCE is AGAINST
1T
IT WOULD INJURE BUSINESS
Says 1t Would Virtually Prohibit
Importation of BIOOded Stock
Into Minnesota for Breed
ing Purposes.

Opposition to the new tax code contin-
ues to increase and develop. The latest
addition to the ranks Of the opposition
is the South st. Paul Live Stock Ex-
change
AT a meeting of the exchange, which
includes all of the dealers in live stock at
the Union stock yards of South St. Paul
as well as many others engaged in the
live stock business throughout the state.
the following resolutions were unanf-
mously adopted:
BE It Resolved, By the Live Stock Ex-
chahSe OF South st. Paul, that in the
OPINION OF this body the tax code, So
called, now pending before the Minnesota
legislature IN special session, is a meas
uPe when, II enacted into law, would
cause untold injury to the live stock in
IefeStS OF this state, as it would virtually
prohlblt the Importation into the state of
valuable bIooded live stock for breeding
purposes on account of the great value
OF animals of this character, which would
De- under the provisions of said code
taxed at their full value, thus creating a
pufoen SO great that no one could be
Inouced 70 engage in the handling of that
class OF live stock, which is of immense
state
BE It Resolved Further, That that
part OF said code which applies distinct
!Vely to the taxing of personal property
is so drastic and severe that, if enacted.
II would cause great hardship to the bus
mess interests of the state generally.
therefore, this body desires to earn
estly protest against the enactment Of
said code.
BE 1t Resolved Further, That the Sec
rotary Of this exchange is hereby in
Instructed to forward copy of these reso-
!utions to the senator and Representatives
from Dakota county, and that they be
requested to present this memorial to
both branches of the Minnesota legisla-
ture and to. use every honorable effort to
defeat the said tax code"

CONGREGATION OWNS CHURCH.
Judge KeI1y's Findings in Church
of st. John in Wilderness.


of st. John in Wilderness.
The findings of Judge Kelly in the case
of the church of St John in the Wilder
ness against John Aubrey and his wife,
Laura Aubrey, and John E. Adshead filed
yesterday show that the title to the
property occupied by the congregation
rests in them. The church was founded
in 1867, and the deed was held in trust
for the church by the board Of directors,
the defendants and Andrew Bell Patter-
son, being the trustees. Judge Kelly, in
ruling on the case, said:
THE deed, though loosely drawn, was
intended to place the title to the land
in the defendants, and Andrew Bell Pat
terSOn, as trustees, to hold it until such
time as the corporation of st. john
should be Incorporated. The words: with
power to grant and convey the premises
in fee simple, if at any time the trustees
should deem it beneficial, to any corpo-
ration which may be hereafter formed or
organized by said cOngregatio renders
the intent clear, though it seems to rest
some sort of discretion in the trustees
1.-THE congregation, the real beneficiary
became incorporated in 1867, and has held
undisturbed possession Of the land for
forty years. One trustee Mr.. Patterson,
died in 1876, the other two defendants
abandoned the trust and left the United
States for England in 1862, or whereabouts.
1.-THE plaintiff is entitled to a decree,
appointing a successor to the trustees
named in the deed, with power to carry
out the terms of the deed, and to make
conveyance of the lands described in the
church corporation"

The case Of Henry Roman against VIII

developments that are unusual. The ac-
ton is brought by the plaintiff to regain
possession of some store fixtures and
furniture which were covered by a. chat
tel mortgage. The value Of the furniture
is fixed at $65.
1t appears that Mckay, who is a cigar
dealer, borrowed $50 of the plaintiff last
fall and gave a mortgage on the articles.
He now claims that the case should be
dismissed, as usury was charged on the
debt. The interest was S. per month.
The plaintiff declares that the interest
agreed upon was 10 per cent, and that all
that was paid in excess of that amount
was credited to the original debt The
case has not yet been decided.
