act providing for a tax commission.
The tax commission has done its
work as well as it could. The same
constitution we had then we have
now. There is no difference as to
what legislation on taxation could
be passed according to the consti-
tuition, and, gentlemen, it seems
strange to me now that there is not
a sit ole member who voted for the
bill providing for a tax commission
who said that it was uncalled for,
that tax commission could do no
good, that the constitution was rot
ten, as the gentleman from Winona
county termed it. at the time that
bill was passed last session.
Now, Mr.. speaker, I believe that
there are certain features of this
bill which are good ! believe that
it is an improvement over the old
law. ! believe that certain proper
ty will be reached that has escaped
in the past. I believe the assessed
valuation will increase in this State
millions of dollars over what it has
been before, and that by class OF
property that has always remained
hidden. Now, If this is so, why
should we .delay this proposition
Why should we not go on and make
provisions for constitutional amend
ments? There will be another leg
islature coming, and the next legis-
lature can re-enact certain provi-
sions OF this law. amend it, if you
please, so as to make it come under
any new constitutional provision
that may be adopted by the people
of this State. / think this cry that
has been raised, that the farmers OF
this State are opposed to this tax
measure, the cry which has been
raised that the valuation of agricul-
tural land is going to be increased.
is something like q scarecrow-
believe that those members who
have voted against this bill vii
find upon their return home, tina,
those of their constituents wht
have investigated the proposition
will think differently, and vii
bring them to account for their vot.
against this measure.
'.Mr. Speaker, don't wish t.
say very much more. I believ'
that the members of this Legislature
have great duty to perform, an,
if there is a large amount of proper
ty that has remained in hiding il
the past, let us bring it to the igh
of day. Let us say to the people Q

A delegation of representatives
from the Louisiana purchase exposi-
ton, which is to be held in St. Louis
next wear, was before the legisla-
ture recently to suggest an appro-
priation from this State for the pur-
pose of having Minnesota make
"a ~.creditable showing at that
exposition. The gentlemen made
effective pleas and there IS very
little doubt but what an appropria-
tion will be made at this extra ses-
sion. or at the session OF 1902. Oh
course appropriation at this session
will be the better for the reason
that the commissioners will have
more time to devote to the matter
of a building and getting together
the exhibits.
Minnesota is deeply interested In
this exposition. For had it not
been for the Louisiana purchase we,
living on the west'side of the Miss
issippi river to-day, might have all
been Frenchmen to-day.
The Minnesota commissioners at
the Buffalo exposition feel so Ger
tain that we will be represented at
St. Louis that they have ordered
some of the material used at Buffalo
forwarded to st. Louis, and accord
ing to a St. Louis special Minnesota
is the first State in the Union to
take steps toward the installation
of it's exhibit at the show to be Civ
en- in that city next year. j. l.
Bernard of Pipestone, who is a
familiar character te many Mime
sofa people. and who had the prize
hog at the Chicago exposition, ar
rived in st. Louis recently with
two cars loaded with material for
the Minnesota exhibit. He made
arrangements to store the goods
until the Minnesota building, vet to
be erected, is in condition to re-
ceive them. This material includes
only the best part of the Minnesota
exhibit at the Pan-Amefican show.
In case the extra session makes an
appropriation it has been suggest
ed that 81. p. Hall. who was one of
the Buffalo commissioners, be ap-
pointed as one of the commissioners
| at st. Louis, and certainly no man
lis better qualified to bring out bet
ter the resources of this State.

met with no opposition. On roll
call there was only one vote regard
ed against the bill, that OF Repre-
sentative Mallory of Duluth, who is
opposed to the State prosecuting
the case. A number of members
who did not happen to be in the
house at the time that the bill was
called were anxious to go on record
in favor OF she proposition but it
was too late

Eunder the laws of which the North

business, Certainly, every legal

ing against the merger to test the
Sherman anti-trust law the North

have their hands full for some time
to come, while the stock OF the com
pany is liable to fuctuate more or
less during the struggle. When
the United States decided to test
the merger the stock fell several
points.
Just one reapportionment bill
made its appearance during the ex-
| ira session. 1t pertained to the
Sixtieth senatorial district. which
has one senator and three repre-
sentatives, and consists of the coun-
| ties of Clay, Becker and Wilkin.
/ The bill provided that instead of
the three representative running
lat large over the entire district
each county shall hereafter elect it's
Town representative. The bill was
passed. While it does not reduce
or increase the representation, and
while it does not affect the senator
ship in any manner, whatever, yet
there is some doubt among the legal
members Of both branches IS to its
I constitutionality, the claim being
that it is in violation of the consti-

Clearing the Way For Panama

Clearing the Way For Panama.
The official report of Attorney Gen
eral Knox in reference to the title to
the Panama canal franchise and prop
erty, announcing the conclusion that
1.-The United States will receive a
good, valid and unincumbered title, y
settles an important question in the
preliminary work of digging the 18TH
milan waterway.
The only obstacle now remaining is
the lack of an adequate agreement
with the United States of Colombia
concerning the terms upon which the
government of that country will trans
fer the concession to the government
of the United States of America A
protocol was signed last May by Score
tary Hay and Minister Concha of Co
lombia. but this had to be modified to
conform with the Spooner act subse-
quently passed by congress
Minister Concha seems now inclined
to place obstacles in the way of the
contamination of the treaty, he having
apparently taken umbrage at the ac-
ton of the United States in safeguard
ing the Panama railroad during the
revolution on the isthmus. While this
has caused the state department at
Washington some annoyance and occa-
stoned direct communication with the
Bogota government, it is not believed
that it will long delay negotiations.
The matter is of so great importance
to both countries that it is hardly CON
ceivable that any serious difficulty can
arise TO prevent the PRONUNCIATION of
mutually satisfactory treaty.
