THE TAX LAW.

The legislature of Minnesota met
in extra session on Tuesday for
the propose of considering the re-
peat of the tax commission, to
which reference has already been
made. Governor Van SAINT read
his message in joint session on
Wednesday, in which he COM
mended the report of the commls-
sion generally. but recommended
several changes in detail-and
suggested that the legislature give
the entire report careful consider
alton, and SO amend or change it
as shall seem best to accomplish
its purpose-the equitable distri-
button of the burdens of taxation.
This recommendation of the Gov
ernor means an extended session,
providing the whole subject of tax
alton shall be considered in all its
bearings. No more important meas
ure than just taxing code can be
presented to legislative body. 1t
lies at the verv foundation of good
government. and there are so many
divergent views as to methods and
probable results that any thing like
unanimity of sentiment can only
be arrived at by long and careful
consideration.
The commission believes that its
proposed bill will increase the as
sessment frem three to five fold,
thus reducing the rate to one-third
or one-fifth of that which prevails.
1t has largely followed the Indiana
law adopted ten years age-but the
increase in that state has been less
than fifty per cent. The sugges-
tioa. that all property be taxed at
its full cash value means nothing Il
that is part of our present law.
To compel the tax payer to list
every item Of his personal property
under oath, and under severe pen
atty, will not uncover hidden assets.
He is supposed to do SO under the
present law.
The provision to tax bank de.
posts, and that tho banks shall
furnish the assessor with a list of
a. 'positors and the amounts to their
cre> 'it on April'first is a pernicious
fe.t,, e in that it will have q tend
encv to ~reate run upon the banks
At that fin. 'e-the depositors with.
fhe cash in order to escape
this I inauisitio,, al feature. Further
more, there is n. equity in assess.
ing the money a p, erson may have,
eli hand upon any A!'ven gay !!
nav not, and in most cases VIII
not, approximately req resent the
amount ne usually has 10 posses
sion or to his credit. If Inc state
wants to reach the most money
POSSIBLE for taxation it should Tx
the time for assessment in the late
fall, when the farmers have the
proceeds of their years work re.
duced to cash. The injustice OF
such a proposition is evident. So,
in a lesser degree will injustice be
done either by or against the state
in fixing any arbitrary date for
determining this item. The aver
age deposit for a year is the only
equitable basis.
But this is only one of a score OF
feature to be considered. II the
legislature proposes to pass a tax
law at its present session, they
should send for their summer
clothes. They will need them.
Let them fairly open up the sub
iect, discuss all features, settle such
as are plain and simple, and lay
the complicated ones over for such
maturer jugement as a year VIII
bring.

When a boy turns his bullying pock-
cts inside out we marvel at the guam
tity and variety of articles he has
slowed away. Odd lengths of string,
marbles, a horse-chesnut, a top, brass
nails. hickory nuts. an apple, and
many more articles are garnered by
this snapper up of unconsidered
trif1es." We think the collection
must be hard on a boys pocket. And
it is. But do we ever think Of the
variety and miscellany of the sub
stances we pun into the pocket of
our stomach? There's the apple and
the nuts, and things besides quite
as indigestable as the brass nails
and with no more food value than so
many marbles. And yet we wonder
that the stomach gives OUT. When
the stomach breaks down under the
strain of careless eating and irregular
meals it can be perfectly and perma-
nently restored to health and strength
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The action OF
this medicine on the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutri-
tion is so marked that relief from
disease is at once experienced, and
the headaches, liver "troubles''
kidney disorders, skin eruptions and
other symptoms of a diseased stom-
ach are quickly cured. When the use
of a laxative medicine is Indicated
use DIR. Pierce's Pellets. They
act in harmony with the Discovery
and assist its action by purging the
bowels of foul accommodations.

would stop the next train before it
was too late. Scarcely had he round

train approaching. He waved his
hands frantically, but to no use. Sud
denly at the side of the track he saw
lare red handkerchief which had
evidently been dropped by some
tramp. and selling it waved it across
the track and brought the freight to
