BANKRUPT SOME COUNTIES.

st. Paul, Feb. 1O.-Roseau County,
Auditor Spencer asserted before the
house committee on taxes and tax
laws, will be seriously crippled if the
provisions of the tax code governing
the rate of levy for county purposes
is enforced.
A clause of section 14S of the code
precsribes that in counties having a
taxable valuation of 81, 600, 600 or less
the rate shall not be more than l per
cent, nor the total amount levied more
than $4,000. Roseau county comes
within the provision, but county ex-
penses aggregate more than $40, 600.
Auditor Spencer asserted that with
forty seven townships and the ex-
penses of a comparatively new county
the limitation would almost force the
county into bankruptcy. Five thous-
and dollars, he stated, would little
more than meet the expense of one
term of court.
The house committee has taken the
objection before State Auditor Dunn
and will inquire whether other coun-
ties will be similarly affected. A
remedy suggested is the classification
of the counties and a medication OF
the limitations under that system,
where they affect the smaller counties
unfavorably.

FIGHT ON THIS WEEK.

st. Paul, Feb. 10.-The tax code will
appear before the house for section by
section discussion, if present plans
carry, before the end Of this week.
1t is now thought that it will be re-
ported by the tax committee late We'd
nesday or Thursday morning.
The hosue will begin with the fir st
title and take up the measure almost
sentence by sentence from beginning
to end.
Advocates of the bill assert that ten
OF the seventeen members of the house
committee are opposed to the bill.
The hearings of the senate commit
tee will continue through the greater
part OF the week. 1t is considered i'm
probable that the bill will be reported
before Friday, and it may remain in
committee until the beginning of next
week. The senate shows decided
disposition to allow the house to bear
the brunt of the preliminary scrim-
images over amendments

WOULD TREBLE PENSIONS.
If They Were Increased to $50 Per
Month as Some One Suggested.
A Washington dispatch says:

A Washington dispatch says:
Representative McCleary has ascer-
tanned from Commissioner of Pensions
Evans that it will cost the government
nearly three times as much as is now
paid out in pensions each year if all
soldiers of the civil war are pensioned
at fat rate of $50 month each. Mr..
McCIeary's attention was attracted to
a newspaper paragraph stating that
an effort would be made to secure
legislation to bring about the payment
of $50 pensions to veterans of the war
and sent it to Commissioner Evans
with request for statement show
ing just what the effect of such legis-
lation would be.
The reply shows that about $56, 900, :
600 is being paid annually to soldiers
on the rolls now drawing less than $50
month up to that amount, and that
it would cost the government about
$1O9, 750. 600 to bring such pensioners
up to $50 rate, which would make
an addition of $165, $50, 600 to present
payments. "To this" says the COM
missioner, "must be added 300, 900
who have never had pensions-$72, :
600. 0OO-making the amount required
in addition to present payments 1897, :
750, 600. This, added to the $13S, 500, :
600 paid out for the year 1901, would
make total of 1915, $50, 900 that would
be required to pay all pensions, if the
rate to soldiers were made $50 a
month. -
Commissioner Evans says that the
war records show that there were
121, 996 deserters and that possibly 70, :
600 of these will come in sooner or
later. This estimate refers only to
soldiers themselves and docs not make
any estimate for any increase to the
widows.

Whereas, An instrument in writing, purport-
Ing to be the last will and testament of Theresa

ed the morning session. Each made
a short address, an each was in turn
placed upon the gridiron by relentless
members of the committee who piled
them with all sorts of questions.
Messrs. jacobson and j. A. Peterson,
the leading supporters of the bill, took
the lead in the operation.
The gentlemen selected to represent
the twin city bankers acquitted them
selves with honor, and were quite a
match for their adroit cross examiners.
Mr.. Merrill dwelt principally upon
the injustice done to depositors in
banks, whose income would be practi-
cally wiped out by assessments at full
valuation. Mr.. Upham presented as
an alternative the income tax, which
he favored as substitute for personal
property taxation Both urged that
all legislation be deferred until the
passage of constitutional amendments.
In the senate, which is day behind
the house, the morning was spent
in vessel taxation.
Indications are that the majority of
the house committee is opposed to en-
acting the bill at this session. Messrs.
Hurd, Rich, Washburn, Ward, Bar
teau and Ferris are understood to be in
line for this program. Friends OF the
tax bill expect this element to come up
as soon as the hearings are finished
with a motion to refer the bill back
to the house with the recommended
tions that it's consideration be post
poned until the next session.
Whether this passes or not, the fight
will be transferred to the floor of the
house as soon as the report is made.
Here the friends of the bill think the
outlook is best for it's passage in some
form or other.
A significant move was made yester-
day by Mr.. Laybourn of Duluth. Just
before adjournment resolution was
offered by Mr.. sweet of Hennepin in
viting the members of the tax COM
mission to be present at the committee
hearings. Mr.. Laybourn gave notice
of debate, and under the rules the re-
solution went over until tomorrow.
Asked as to the reason for his action,
Mr.. Laybourn said "For certain rea-
SONS am not able to say today. That
will come out whenever the resolution
comes up for debate.
The committee got down to work at
10 40 and first heard from labor repre-
of Duluth and st. Paul
Gordon O'Neill for the Duluth
Trades and Labor assembly, stated the
position of that body. 1t opposes the
reduced exemption on personal pro-
perty, the listing of personal property
at it's full value, the taxation of grain
in elevators, ad valorem taxation of
vessels and the taxation of bank de-
posits. Taxation Of grain in elevators,
he said, would operate to stop eleva-
tors from receiving grain during the
closed season.
John Gieske, representing the st.
Paul Trades and Labor council, spoke
only against the reduced redemption.

DISINFECTING A SHIP.
Moist Heat, Thorough Germicida
Agent, Is Used.

When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics
to the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on framework consisting of a
series of racks suspended from long
Car running on track and 80 arrang-
ed that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight
feet in diameter and fitted inside with
continuous coils of steam pipes The
cylinders are covered with asbestus
and swathed in felt, and when the
cylinder caps are on they are alright.
When the clothing has been placed in
side and the cylinders closed, dry heat
is forced through the pipes at a tenn
perature of 100 degrees, and this is
1OA1OWOu ny AOol 1o16OO " q
temperature of $50 degrees. The pres
sure of from six to eight pounds put
upon this steam heat is sufficient to
force it through heavy mattresses or
bundles of clothing.
After a peri cd which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylin-
ders are opened, the racks are run out,
and the rapid evaporation which fol-
lows causes the clothing to dry almost
Immediately. The clothing is unharm
ed by this process, and the moist heat
is a thorough germicidal agent. 1t is
an interesting fact that if freshly
Numbered linen shirt or collar is put
into the cylinder it will emerge thor
oughly moist and apparently in need of
another stsrching. The evaporation is
so rapid, however, that it is immedi-
ately restored to its original condition,
not even the gloss being removed. =

LIGHT ON THE CODE.

st. Paul, Feb. 10.-The house Sat-
urday extended to the members of the
state tax commission an invitation to
appear to explain portions of the tax
code on which the legislature desires
more information. But the resolution
was passed only after a lively debate.
Mr.. Lsybourn led the attack on the
resolution. He thought the tax COM
mission had made its explanations in
it's report, and there was no need of
hearing further from that body.
Representative Burns thought the
legislature should get all the informa-
tion possible on the code, and Repre-
sentatives Jacobson, Dobbins and
Smith took the same ground.
