Mr.. Upham opposed the taxation Of
credits of any character, including de-
posits in banks. He favored an income
tax. In Germany, incomes are taxed 8
per cent; in England per cent, the in
crease being due to the burden of the
Boer war. Railroad bonds would be taxed
at their full value under the proposed
law. These bonds are mortgage on the
property which already pays gross earn
tngs tax. The holder of Northern Pa
cifc bonds gets $50 income from a $1,000
bond. In Germany he pays s1.20 income
tax In England 50. IT. st. Paul, he
must FAY $26.9o. In Duluth $50, and in the
village of Excelsior he must give up the
entire income and $50 additional.
Mr.. Upham declared that the proposed
law was wholly bad. He did not see any
interests bVt would be injured by It's
passage It would hurt the farmer most
of all. In the case of his own bank 1t
This Would annihilate the stock pre-
miums, and the only way to get relief
would be to divide up half the capital
among the stockholders and do business
on the other half. He did not believe, the
new law would lower the rate of taxation
in St. Paul, because real estate was al

to spend more money. why said he,
"they are already falling about spending

Where the Farmers Come In. y j
Mr. Peterson asked Mr.. Upham whether
under the income tax city people1Wouid
not pay the bulk Of the taxes.sg nit ~
IT guess you don't know the farmer do
you?' was thequick retort, which brought
round of laughter.
Mr.. Jacobson said: wouldn't this law
help the owners Of city real estate? We
have heard no kick from Them. and I
guess everybody who g hurt has kicked"
II rather think you will hear from your
farmer constituents, before you get
through" replied Mr.. Upham. GAS far as
the state tax is concerned, the country
would be loser and the city a gamer.
That, however, Is but small fraction of
the tax, and increased expenses will keep
up the rate on real estate in cities.''a
An inquiry from Mr.. Ward developed
that land owned by Mr.. Upham in Grant
county assessed at $5.55, was,valued at $40
an acre, so that the assessment under the
new law would be quadrupled. The COM
mittee then adjourned until 2:30 p. m.

LONDON, Dec. s. - Scotland
Yard, England's great detective
bureau, has great Importance chief
ly because England has a highly

comes detective from Scotland
Yard to take things in charge Two
years ago there was a sensational
murder on the beach at Yarmouth,
a woman having been strangled
with a shoe string The Yarmouth
chief was passed over in the inves-
tlgation. He came up to London to
see about it and assert his own i'm
portance. He had an unsatisfa Glory
interview at the Yard and on his
way home missed his watch. The
next morning he received it by mail
with the compliments of Scotland

man who did not know enough to
keep his watch did not know
enough to find murderer. So the
armouth chief left things to the
London detectives, who soon found
the criminal.
The origin of the name Scotland

William Melville, his lieutenants,

The latter holds the more RESPONSE

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The remark

a recorder of living events may be
put to was well illustrated in a lit
tie incident which happened in con-
nection with the visit of Sir Hiram
and Lady Maxim at a southern
watering place near Brighton few
days since.
The famous gunmaker, when he
was getting ready to return to
town, presented a check to the ho-
tel proprietor in payment of his
bill. The proprietor said it was a
rule of the house. not to accept

The inventor readily appreciated
the force of the landlords remark
He was In rather of quandary and
stammered out that he did not have
sufficient ready money with him to
pay his bill. But Lady Maxim had
a happy thought and avoided what
might have been an awkward situa-
ton.
She told the proprietor that il he
would go with her tothe pier. put a

that the distinguished visitor was

far as to accept the check, with

Melville is acknowledged to be
the Sherlock Holmes" of the de-

makeup and disguise he has no

with prisoners whose identity could
not be established otherwise, and,
pretending to be a prisoner himself,

which afterwards led to their con-

is trapped. An expert in handwrit-
ing Is kept at Scotland Yard. He
gets into communication with q

men OF the. friends handwriting,
writes a letter to the prisoner pur-
porting to have come from his
friend, and in an innocent moment
the prisoner commits himself to
paper. In the same way letters are
written to burglars in the language
they employ, to watch-snatchers,
coiners, etc. OF course, the prison
off Gals assist the police in all these
undertakings, but only officers of
high rank are entrusted with such
condolences.
Officers OF the detective depart
ment who show an aptitude for &C
quiring a knowledge of street slang,
that is, the language in which the
costermOnger, the racing man, or
the saloon loafer communicate, are
marked for every promotion, be-
cause it is from those classes the
majority of petty thieves are re-
cruited.
Photographs of all confirmed
criminals are kept in the museum
at Scotland Yard. This museum it.
self is one of London's institutions
and it is visited daily by travellers
from all parts of the world.
Admission into the offices is by
no means an easy task, especially
sine the dynamite outrage that was
perpetrated at the old building near
by some years ago. Long before one
reaches the main entrance you are
carefully scrutinized by a smart Of
ficer in uniform. If you bear no
suspicious characteristics you are
allowed to pass on. Inside you are
asked the object of your visit by a
plain clothes man, who weighs you
up with critical eye. Then two or
three other officers will pass you
by, apparently quite needless of
your presence, but In reality they
watch every move you make.
There are secrets in these Offices
which the king himself would like
to. know, but which are the sacred
poss sessions of the chief commits

terry and shuns publicity as likely
to remove some of the glamor.
