BILLS LIKELY TO BE TAKEN

LIVELY FIGHT ANTICIPATED
Result OF Matter May Be COnsidera-
tiOn of New Tax Code by House
in~COmmit4ee of the
Whole.
MEMBERS BECOME PERSONAL

Chairman Wallace, of the committee on
taxes and tax laws, will this morning, on
the floor of the house, demand that the
proposed constitutional amendment bills
be recalled from the committee on judi
ciary and referred to the tax committee
for consideration with the tax code
proper.
The first executive session of the house
committee on taxes and tax laws resulted
in the long expected skirmish between
the friends and the opposition and re-
suited in at least temporary victory
for the latter. 1t also plainly defined the
division in the committee and showed UP
the personnel of the opposition, which,
as expected, has a majority of one in the
committee of seventeen.
Mr.. Jacobson, despite his threat not to
enter the executive session, was on hand
albeit a little late, and wormed up to
the lead of the fight made by the
friends in time to share in its defeat,
He had his feet well under him, however,
before the fight was over and evidently
considers the apparent defeat really a
victory for the bill. The friends" be-
lieve that the demand for the constitu-
tional amendments this morning will pre-
cipitate a fight which will result in TAX
ing the bill from the tax committee and
sending it on to the floor of the house
to be patched up in committee OF The
whole.

Special to The Globe.
BISMARCK, S. D., Feb. I7.-At the in
quiry into sale of the r'ort Stevenson
reservation before the officials of ,-le
land Office at Bismarck this afternoon,
E.-E. Secor, Of Buffalo Center, Iowa,
testified that he had an agreement with
Z. r. c. Crowell that if he did not bid
for land he could buy afterwards for
what he wanted of the reservation at
slight advance.
On cross-examination it was brought
out by Attorney L. c.. Black, of Cincin
natl, purchaser of the land, -llat Crowen
had no authority to act for him and that
after the sale Secor had written Black
asking that the Crowell agreement be
carried out and Black produced copy
of a letter in which he had decided to
listen to proposals and stand that no one
had authority to act for him. 1t was
also shown that l.. Vonsteinwehr, anoth-
er, of the purchases had told Secor that
if he wanted any of the land he would
have to bid for it as other bidders did,
J. c. Hallum and c, Nj. Johnson, Of
Richland county, this state, testified to
some kind of an agreement they had with
CroWell regarding the sale of the land.
The testimony showed that the price paid
for land was more than the witnesses
considered the average value Of land. IN
quiry will probably be compjTtedi tomor-
row, and the general opinion seems
to be that Black acted in good faith
throughout and that his purchase of the
land will be approved by the govern
ment.
The total amount Of the transaction is
about $75, eco and Black has paid for the
entire 45,0O0 acres of the reserve, but mis-
patents have been withheld pending this
investigation.
After three days consumed in prelimin-
ary hearing of the May murder case it Ises
been adjourned to Friday Of this week
with the prospect of two more days tes-
timony before the case is completed. Mrs.
Hibbs, widow of the muruered man, was
on the stand under rigid cross-tire Of

Little Arguments.

There are two competitive brands
of cream Of tartar baking powder
in the United States, One is
manufactured by a trust The
other is Schilling's Best.
The trust brand is made of i'm
ported cream of tartar (refned
grape acid.)
Schilling's Best is manufactured
of cream of tartar obtained from
American grape acid.
Other brands of cream of tartar
baking powder are manufactured
from the imported grape acid.
That's why we ask you to buy
Schilling's Best baking powder.
Everything imported into this
country that we could just as we'll
produce here is 80 much loss
The United States uses more
cream of tartar (refned grape
acid) than any other country, and
this association has been formed
to develop that industry in
America.
The producers of rasins and
prunes have formed associations
and com bined their strength in
order to advance the interests of
those commodities.
That is just what we are doing
In the American Grape Acid
Association there are representa-
tives of the producers Of grape
acid in its crudest form, of the
tartar factories which reduce the
raw material to grape acid, thu
making it marketa BILE. of the cream
of tartar re6ners, of the transporta-
ton interests and of the con-
sumner.
/ is to the interest of all these
that grape acid should be produced
in America in quantities sufficient
for our own needs, instead of OBJ
tanning our supply in foreign
countries.
The trust which manufactures
the brand of baking powder best
known to you fears this home pro
duction. L. fears this infant may
grow into mans strength and
prove thorn in its flesh in the
way of competition. So long as
the crude material of the vine
yards from which wine is produced
was thrown away, and not reduced
to grape acid, and then into cream
of tartar, all went smoothly. But
as soon as California began to pro
duce cream of tartar the trust be-
gan to cut prices on this coast
The refners of American grape
acid into cream of tartar found il
necessary to make a great effort if
their refinery was to be kept open
So they went to all the manufacture
ers of cream of tartar baking
powder on this coast, telling them
the circumstances, how they were in
danger of being throttled if some
patriotic baking powder manu-
facturer didn't buy home, made
goods rather than imported. All
declined to enter into such an ar
rangement excepting Messrs. A
Schilling o. Co., who contracted
for their entire supply for long
term of years. Their demand takes
nearly all the American Cream
Tartar Co. refnes, and is constantly
increasing.
If all the lees from the grapes
and all the argols from the wine
casks are saved and sold by the
vineyardists they will have a
greater profit for their labor and
investment.
Not only does the producer
profit from an increased revenue,
but employment is given to labor
and capital, and we are independ-
ent of foreign countries.

Anclent skx.erapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that it was n sky
scraper. st. Jerome in his commen-
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are only about 500 feet). Father Cal
met says the tower was $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
COMPOUNDED, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More
over, it is understood that the Chinese
language of today was originally the
same language as the high German.
