Irult at the end of the week, both in
st. Paul and Minneapolis but there was
no famine by any means, as evidenced
oy the display in most of the windows

reach of all. If bananas were sold at s4
a bunch to the retail trade it would be
necessary to retail them at 50 to 60 cents

At o'clock last night the fall of snow
became noticeable and by midnight there
was plenty of it, with no sign of quitting.
There was enough wind to keep the snow
moving and ambitious little drifts showed
themselves on all sides. The street car
traffic also suffered considerably as a
result of the snow storm and all through
the evening the cars on all the lines wore
from thirty to forty minutes late There
was no real blockade, however, and IN

succeeded in getting home.

yesterday.
The fight on the tax bill is now well or
ganized. The Duluth people have COM
mittee fully prepared to make sys-
tematic campaign against the bill The
Minneapolis grain and flour mill people
have decided to oppose it; and it is said
that the savings banks of the Twin
Cities will fight it also.
Under the present laws, all money is
supposed to be taxed. AS a matter. of
fact, money in banks is seldom listed
and assessors never make any attempt
to get at it. Savings banks pay 8 per
cent, and in Minneapolis the tax of IS
mills would practically take all the in
come from deposits. The new law. re-
quires every person to make a statement
under oath, and a penalty is fixed for
fahure to list any item of value. AS
SCISSORS do not have access to bank books
but the public examiner does, and Rn-
der the system Of mailing assessment lists
it will be much harder to conceal such
property.
Savings bank officers declare that the
new law will have the effect of causing
depositors to withdraw their funds before
April 1. This will compel the banks to
call in their loans, and paraIyze busi-
ness, if not create a panic.
While the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce will not officially participate
in the fight, Col Rogers, secretary Of the
chamber, says the members are PERSONAL
ly against it to a man.

The cause of the trouble is in the hill

number of people waited so long for cars
that they found it faster to walk down
town. Ordinarily there are forty extra
cars put on in the morning and at

resulted in poor service.
