MIR. Lift on Tour.
These were the opening remarks of
Jacob Lift, owner Of the Grand opera
house and a score of other theaters
when he was interviewed yesterday.
Mr.. Lit, accompanied by his wife and
two little sons, is making tour of his
circuit, as is his annual habit. In dis
cussing the theatrical situation, Mr.
Lift did not confine himself to his own
interests.
Both the popular and high-priced
houses of the Twin Cities have ex-
ceptionally fine booking lists said he.
''The attractions are the cream of the
travelling companies in their respective
classes, and they come here because
the town has shown the nagnates and
managers that it wants the best and
is willing to pay for it,
"Silver Slipper" Succeeds.
One Of Mr.. Lifts most ambitious
productions is 1.-THE Silver Slipper"
which opened Monday night at the
Broadway theater, New York. The
piece is an English pantomime, in
which 225 people take part, and which
has been Americanized so cleverly that
capacity houses are already foeking
to it. According to Mr.. Lift, $4,000
was expended ON the properties before
the curtain was raised on the first
performance.
Mr. Lift and his family will remain
in st. Paul the balance Of the week.
He is giving particular attention to the
new addition to the Grand opera hoc1se
on Sixth street, on which some $35, 200
has been expended during the past few
months.

HUNDRED NEW CASES

The report made to the state board

two-thirds Of them are in two counties.

THINGS ARE MIXED
IN BELLTRAMI COUNTY
Voters Want Propositions to Create
Three New Counties Placed on
Regular Ballot.

Even should the voters Of Beltrami
county cast their ballots for a division
of the territory and the creation of
three new counties, it is a question
whether such action would be held
legal.
County Auditor Sylvester, Of Bel
trami county, has had the propositions
to divide the county printed on ballots
separate from the ones on which the
names of the county candidates are
printed.
w. A. McGlennon and Henry Funk
ley appeared before the supreme court
yesterday and asked that an order be
issued requiring the county auditor to
have the ballots reprinted and the
proposition to create the new counties
placed on the one which the law re-
Quires.
The supreme court refused to inter-
fere or order the ballots reprinted on
the ground that the application was
made too late. Consequently the divis-
ion of the county will be voted for on
separate ballots, and should any of the
three carry the validity of the election
will be contested on the ground that
the law was not complied with.
There are two conflicting PROPOSE
tons, one to create the county of
Clearwater and the other the county
of Roosevelt. The third proposition is
to cut off some townships and create
the county of Black Duck, with Black
Duck village as the county seat.
Parties interested in the creation of
Roosevelt county applied to Judge Nc
Clennahan, of the district court, at
Brainerd, Wednesday, to have the bal
lot corrected, but the court reserved it's
decision.
The action of the supreme court was
wired Judge McClennahan last even

would tempt the Lowry companies to
seek to come in under the proposed
per cent gross earnings law is that
portion Of section l which provides
that the payment Of such taxes shall
be in full and in lieu of all other taxes
upon the property and franchises so
taxed
j 1t is argued that the railroad COM
panfes Of the state are not now taxed
on any franchise and that the only
railway" taxed on it's franchise is the
Twin City Rapid Transit corporation.
The position assumed by the Lowry
organs published in Minneapolis and
ST. Paul, that the Jacobson law should
be adopted by the voters at the COM
ing election, is also pointed out as in
'dicatfve of the desire of the street rail-
way magnate to have the proposed
gross earnings bill become law in or
der that. his companies may take ad-
vantage Of it's provisions.
Douglas Thinks Not.
Attorney General Douglas, when
asked for an opinion as to the posi-
bility of the Twin City Rapid Transit
company coming under the provisions
Of the. proposed law, stated he did not
think the courts would hold that the
term railway" used in the law, in
SludSo StiSCI IdllWdy COliipdL1SS.
Other attorneys questioned stated
they had not examined the language
Of the proposed amendment sufficiently
to express an opinion as to whether
the street railway companies could
come in under the proposed law.
Several Of the attorneys admitted
that the practice Of the courts at the
present time was to place as broad a.
construction on the language Of law as
possible and that under section / of
the proposed Jacobson law there would
be a chance for the attorneys of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company to
go into court with the proposition that
it was entitled to privileges under it if
the law was adopted.
The officers and attorneys of the
Lowry systems have been urging and
fighting for years to secure the adop-
ton of laws which would allow the
payment of a gross earnings tax in
lieu of the present system of taxing
it's franchise and personal property,
and those who have raised the ques-
ton of a "woodchuck'' in the proposed
Jacobson law contend that the Ian
guage of the law is such that in the
event of it's adoption the street rail-
way companies will be the first ones to
endeavor to squeeze in under the per
cent gross earnings.

The question has been raised in GER
tain quarters as to whether the adop-
ton of the proposed constitutional
amendment increasing the gross earn
1ngs tax on railroads from to per
cent, will not. allow the lines operated
by Col. Thomas Lowry in the Twin
Cities to come in under it's provisions.
Section one of the amendment pro-
vides:
That every railway company owning
or operating any line of railway sit
uated within, or partly within, this
state shall, during the year 1903, and
annually thereafter, pay into the treas
ury OF this state, as taxes upon all
property within this state owned or
operated for railway purposes by such
company, including equipment, APP
purtenances, appendages and fran
ch1ses thereof, sum Of money equal
to four "a per cent of the gross earn
ings derived from the operation Of
such lines Of railway within this
state; and the payment Of such taxes
shall be in full and in lieu of all other
taxes upon the property and franchises
SO taxed.
Those who have raised the question
as to the possibility of the lines con-
trolled by the Twin City Transit COM
pany coming in under the proposed
law, maintain that the words every
railway company owning or operating
any line of railway within the state"
would allow the company to take adj
vantage Of the law if a, majority Of
the voters Of the state adopt it.
The fact that the present law speaks
of the companies and the proposed law
names them as railway" companies
is pointed out as placing the companies
managed by Col. Lowry in much bet
ter position to assert that they are
specifically provided for under the
Jacobson law
