NO COAL TO CHICAGO.

J.. f. Welborn of the coal depart.
ment of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company places no reliance in the re-
port that the mines of this state may
ship coal to Chicago. Mr.. Welborn
IN speaking of the subject said:
1.-The coal of Colorado goes to a
larger region this side of the Missouri
river and into Texas, where steady
demand developed years ago. AL
though the capacity of the coal mines
siderably recently. the increase in
business and in population has kept
pace with the growth, and the regu.
lar customers of the companies are
able to use all the coal mined in the
state. AS far as the Fuel and Iron
company is concerned, we are not
taking Of shipping any coal beyond
the Missouri river. which has hereto
fore been the line of demarkation.
The coal from this state would cost
too much by the time it reached
Chicago, as compared with the coal
from the other states nearer Chicago.
The railways are also to be considered
in this matter, as they would not let
their cars out of service so long as
would be required in the trip to the
lakes from this state. 1"
The above from the Denver News
wonld indicate that the stories recent
ly sent out from here to effect that
the Victor Fuel company was filling
orders from Chicago and that srtike
was threatened in consequence, were,
as usual, without foundation. Sucl
stories are calculated to SOW seeds Oh
discomfort and stir up strife.

THE BUCKLIN BILL.

In his address ON the bucRlln Dill
before the Colorado Bar association,
Hon. L. F. Twitchell said in part:
''The proposed scheme of taxation
is so at variance with and contrary to
the general principles of taxation
adopted in this country that it may
be classed as ''revoluti onary.
"The power of taxation is an in
herent power in every government
and il necessary to its existence.
This power, when judiciously and
wisely exercised, constructs, builds up
and brings about the largest benefits
to the citizens, when unwisely. illogi-
cally or tyrannicslly exercised it de-
stroys, devastates and crrshes.
1.-The great principles governing
this power in our country, AS stated
by our great judges and text writers,
are:
THAT there shall be no taxation
without representation;
THAT the power of taxation and
right of protection are reciprocal;
THAT those receiving protection
shall bear their just proportion of the
burdens;
THAT the benefits shall be impart-
tally proportioned among those on
whom the burden is imposed, and
that equality of taxation is essential
to the maintenance and preservation
of equal and social rights.
1t is proposed by this measure to
over-turn these principles to shift the
burden of the many to the shoulders
Of the few; to put the whole burden
OF taxation on that class of property
that needs the least protection and
costs the least to protect, and to ex-
empt therefrom the various classes of
property-the great industrial, com
merial and financial institutions-re-
quiring the greatest and most expen-
sive protection to destroy the recipro-
cal relations and fiagrantly violate the
uniformity, and to unequally and un-
fairly apportion the benefits.
To the discerning mind this state
ment must appear at once as logical
and true exposition of what must
necessarily follow the adoption of SO
revolutionary a policy. And while
Mr.. Bucklin has named this the Aus
trRlasian tax system" the facts are
that it is misnomer. The tax sys-
tenn that the adoption of this meas.
ure would authorize differs from the
system in Australia and New Zealand
as dark from light. For instant :
The Bucklin amendment would allow
the exemption from taxation for local
purposes of all personal property, in
Gliding moneys and credits, and
would place the entire burden on the
land. The Australasian or New

100000 POUNDS OF
BEEF A DAYS RECEIPTS
South st. Paul Receives 372 Cars
Containing $500 Head of
Cattle.

Eight million pounds of beef were
received at the South st. Paul stock
yards yesterday.
1t was not of the dressed kind, but
in the shape Of $500 head Of cattle.
The receipts broke the record of two
weeks ago, when 372 cars and $500
head Of cattle was received. Yester-
days figures were 432 cars and $500
head.
The cattle yesterday came largely
from the West and there was but little
good quality butcher stuff. The great
part was fit only for feeding and sold
for that purpose. Reports from all
marketing points showed big runs Of
cattle and a general drop in prices.
Gen. M. d. Flower, of the South ST.
Paul company, seen last evening, said:
"The receipts yesterday were the
largest in the history Of the South st.
Paul yards. Chicago had 25,000 head
yesterday and all the market points re-
ported increased shipments. 1 eX-
pect the increased receipts will
continue for two or three
weeks. The result will be drop of
possibly cents per pound in the price
of dressed beef. The wholesalers have
commenced to cut prices, but the re-
tailers are always a triff1e slow and it
may be a couple of weeks before the
consumers will begin to receive any
advantage in the reduction of prices.
Some of the cattle received here today
will be slaughtered here, but the
greater part will be sold for feeding"

eve don't expect an invasion of the
Minneapolis housebreakers," said Chief
O'Connor yesterday, "but, neverthe-
less, we are not sleeping. Every pre-
caution possible to keep the men from
st. Paul has been taken by the de-
partment."
Contrary to the general opinion"
continued the chief, porch climbers do
not work late at night. Their oper-
ationS are mostly carried on during
meal hours. Between and o'clock
at night is a favorite time for the men
to get in their work.
Probably the average house is less
guarded during the supper hour than
at any other time. People are usually
in the dining room and the bedrooms
and parlors are without protection.
'The best precaution against thieves
is to lock the windows and to keep
valuables where the housebreakers
will have the most difficulty in locat-
ing them. However, there is not a
great deal OF danger from the thieves
here, for if they intended operating in
come here before going to Minneapolis.
But it is best to be careful"

tective Howard, of Minneapolis, spent
considerable time with Chief O'Con-

in Minneapolis. Within the past week
over $4,000 worth of valuables have
been stolen from residences in Mime
apolis.

DRAWS DUNN INTO A
LAND ENHANCEMENT
State Auditor Refuses to Affix Sigma
ture and Legal Action
Follows.

Chief Justice Start, of the supreme
court, yesterday signed an order for a
writ of certiorari ordering State Au-
ditor Dunn to appear in court. The
application on which the order was
granted was made by the National
Bond and Surety company, of st. Paul.
The company holds a state assignment
certificate and tax receipt on lands
situated in the Ninth ward, of the city
Minneapolis. The company is not the
owner, nor is it in possession of the
realty, and claims that the assign
ment and tax receipt are both invalid.
In March, 1895, the land in question
was sold for delinquent taxes, and
there being no bidder, it was bought in
by the state.
On July 20, 1905, the National In
vestment company paid the taxes on
the land to the county auditor Of Hen
nepin county, and next year did the
same.
Two years afterward the company
sold the certificate and tax receipt to
the National Bond and Surety COM
pany. Later it was discovered that a
wrong description of the land had
been given in the delinquent tax pub
lication, and the land described could
not be located. The company appealed
to the board Of county commissioners
of Hennepin county and that body di-
rected a refundment Of the money
paid.
The papers were sent to State Au-
ditor Dunn for his signature, but that
official refused to affiX his signature.
The company, in it's application, al
leges that it has no other means of
redress, and on this showing the court
directed the issuance of the writ.

"SMOKE UP" IS THE

City Is Covered With a Dense Pail and
DR.. Ohaee Causes Some More
Arrests.

Smoke if you want to" seems to be
taken literally in st. Paul just now.
Under the effects of lowering atmos-
phere late yesterday afternoon. black,
sooty vapor covered the streets in the
business section of the city like a blanket.
On the bridges crossing the river the
black haze which prevailed took the form
of a dense fog, while across the heavens
trailed inky streaks poured from many
stacks.
DR.. Ohage says he is willing to be len1-
ent, but he threatens to make trouble
for those who fail to take precautions.
Yesterday, at his direction, warrants were
issued for William Childs.. fireman at the
Phoenix building; j. A. Swanson, of the
Model steam laundry. and William Giyens,
of the Metropolitan hotel. Each had been
warned repeatedly, and their arrest was
last resort. One inspector Is engaged ex-
clusively in taking pictures OF smoking
chimneys.
DR.. Ohage says he does not intend to be
vindictive, but he will not permit the
present laXity to be taken as an indication
that black smoke will be permitted. Most
of those warned have never used any
thing else but soft coal, it Is said.

held in st. Paul is in progress this
week at Metropolitan hall, Eighth and
Wabasha streets. 1t is being given by
the women of st. Paul's German Luth-
eran church for the benefit of the

booths lining the walls and innumer-
able Japanese lanterns swung from
the ceilings and chandeliers makes a

handk kerchiefs and is in charge of Miss
Altman, assisted by Mrs. Lund, Miss
Hattie Dietrich, Miss Lehman, Miss
Spangenberg and Mrs. Hoefer. The
art booth is one of the most attractive
in the hall. There are backgrounds and
draperies of red for number Of hand
somely framed paintings, many of them
very good. Mrs. c. Trudeau, Mrs. J.

WILL ASK $4,000 MORE
FOR STREET LIGHTING
Improved Illumination Creates De-
nand for Additional Lamps
in Suburbs.

If the board Of public works Is sue
cessful in establishing it's claim be-
fore the forthcoming session Of the
conference committee, $1S0,000 will be
inserted in the next budget for street
lighting purposes during 1903. There
is a possibility that the amount may be
increased to 100000, but this depends
largely on the committees interest in
the proposed scheme to buy $4,000
worth Of iron lamp posts.
Last year a trifle over 100000 was
set aside for this years lighting, but
this amount, the members of the board
who have the city's lighting in charge
say, will not do the work anot y year.
At the lowest calculation, $200,Je9 more
will be needed, and this may be In
creased.
The increase in the area Of improved
property is responsible, conditions be-
ing such that where one light was
sufficient two years ago, two are re-
quired now. The change from the
plain gasoline and gas burner to the
lamp with a Welsbach mantle is also
lamp having jumped from about $16
for the plain to $26 for the new. The
increase in the volume Of the light is
proportionate to the extra cost.
1t was figured that one of the new
style OF lights would take the place Of
two of the old, and it has done this
to a certain extent, but the demand
for lamps in consequence Of the bet
ter quality of light is greater. Out
laying districts all over the city are
clamoring for them, and the board
says the requests are such that they
cannot be ignored.
There are about 2,100 incandescent
gasoline and $500 gas lamps in use at
present. To this number the board
proposes to add 500 more Of each. AS
to the number of electric lights, of
which there are about 500, the board
will not recommend an increase.
The proposition to have the city own
all of the iron posts now used for
street lighting purposes is an old one,
and is favored by the board, but it is
hardly possible that any strong effort
will be made to have the conference
committee set aside money for their
purchase. If it is done, an extra ap-
preparation of $4,000 will be required
