THE TREAsURERs CHECK
ID. c. Bell Thinks 1t Is Already Well
Provided For. :. -.


County Treasurer David c.. Bell takes
exception to the statement of General w.
). Hahn in an address Monday evening in
Which he is reported as stating in effect
that there was no proper method of check
ing up the payments for taxes made to
the county treasurers in this state. Per-
sonally Mr.. Bell is satisfied that the pres
ent system in this county is a most ade-
quate provision for checking up every
cent paid into the county treasurers
office and he thinks that any other view
is based on a Misrepresentation of facts.
Assuming, he says that the daily
reports OF collections as now made by the
treasurer to the auditor are inadequate,
and that the monthly settlements might
yet Tall to furnish proper safeguard,
the treasurer would still be held to. ac-
count for the full amount of the annual
tax levy included in the tax books turned
over to his office on the first Monday in
January Of each year by the auditor. When
the books are turned back to the auditor
at the end of the year that aggregate
amount must be shown by the sum of tax
collections reported, plus the sum of un-
collected taxes as they appear In the tax
DOCKS SO turned in. Any differences in
totals must be accounted for by the treas
urer, should any appear. This is rea-
sonably plain proposition, not hard to
comprehend .,
But 1T was for the purpose Of correct
ing this assumed deficiency that there
was introduced into the tax code the cum
Dersome and expensive provision for
changing the issuance of tax statements
from the treasurer's office to the au-
ditor's.
1T will be remembered that the county
treasurers are more heavily bonded than
the auditors. In Hennepin county, for
instance, the treasurer's bond is placed
at. 100000. while the auditors is but
$4,000. The checks mentioned above and
the further fact that surety company
is under q ha1f-million bonds to look
after the treasurer, ought to give the tax
payers ample protection.
1T may not be out of place to sue-
gest IN this connection that attention has
possibly been too exclusively directed to
the county treasurer's office. What. for
instance, is the system provided !. for
checking up the county auditor'sN office !?
And this suggestion contains no reAec-
ton on these officers, whom all will ack-
noWledge in this state, at least, as gem
orally excellent and trustworthy public
servants. No one, am confident, would
welcome more than they, some system
that would safeguard their Offices against
possible scandal. That present methods
do not provide such, the recent history of
some OF our larger counties will show.
Had they been in vogue in recent years
the exchequer Of ,neighboring county
would have been spared the loss Of thou
sands of dollars" 4

TREATY. MAKING
Tawney Helps Revive An
Gent Squabble Between
House and Senate.

From The Journal Bureau. Room IS, Post
Building, Washington.
Washington, Jan. So.-Representati
Tawney to-day introduced resolution di-
recting the ways and means committee to
Investigate the question as to whether the
senate has authority to make rade and
commercial reat1es effective without con-
current action by the house.
The resolutions to-day will again place
the house on record as opposing the propo-
sition that the president and senate, under
the guise of reciprocity treaties, can "ne-
gotiate treaties with foreign governments
by which duties levied under an act OF
congress for the purpose of raising reve-
nue. are modified or repealed" The Taw-
ney resolution covers by way of reply to
the speech made yesterday by Senator
Cullom, on which the claim was made that
the senate had full power over. rec
iprocity questions, whether relating to
revnue or not.
This contention between the house and
senate has come on at intervals for years.
In the forty third congress the house took
strong ground against the position which
the senate now takes of the right to ignore
1t In revenue matters when treaties are
lnVolVeu.' "A report DIT CHaC Ll1uo was pre-
pared by a special ommittee-Hoopef OF
Massachusetts,, Allison and Voorhees-the
latter two then being representatives.
Allison wrote the report and spent six
weeks in it's preparation. He is now one
of the most influential members of the
senate and his opinion as expressed in
the forty-third congress is unchanged.
In the forty-eighth congress the house
again asserted it's right to institute all
revenue legislation in adopting report
of Randolph Tucker, chairman of the judi
cfary committee. Report the ways and
means committee will now make under
the Tawney resolution will restate the
position taken by the house in past years
and doubtless affect the standing of pend
ing reciprocity treaties. Should such
treaties be ratified at this session the &C.
ton which the house will take will be a
standing invitation to litigation under the
treaties and perhaps render this ineffec-
tive. ........ t.

MOB OF ARMED MEN AT CASPER
Acting Governor of Wyoming Will

Casper. Wyo.. Jan. 3O.-A mob Of 100
armed men is patrolling the railroad
yards waiting for the return of Sheriff
Tubbs, and his prisoner Charles Wood
ward, the murderer of Sheriff Kicker, who
was killed three weeks ago in the Rat

graphed Mayor Cantlln asking him what
assistance Is necessary to prevent

Minneapolis Elevator Builders Will
Have a Chance to Do the
Work.

A Minneapolis construction company
will be asked to prepare plans for grain
elevators with capacity of 5000, 900 bush
esl at Port Arthur, Ont.

Elevator company, Port Arthur, now at
the West Hotel, Is here confer With
prospective builders. The big store
houses, for which there is urgent need to
accommodate the constantly increasing
wheat crop Of Manitoba will probably be
built this spring.
The Manitoba crop for last year. said
Mr.. King, amounted to $4,000, 900 bushels.
OF that vast output Of the greatest wheat
fields of the world, 100000 bushels were
shipped out last fall and 21 ZOO, 900 bushels
are still in the elevators. An elevator
with capacity Of 100000 bushels is be-
ing completed now at Port Arthur, but it
won't begin to handle the grain 1t is
only within the last year that they have
really commenced to grow wheat on a
large scale in Manitoba and the result
has surprised the most optimistic farm
ers in the country. The yield last year
in the Alberta district, the most prolific
wheat belt IN the province, was forty
bushels to the acre, as compared with the
average Minnesota and Dakota yield of
thirteen bushels of spring wheat per acre.
Our average yield in Manitoba Is twenty
three bushels.
American farmers from as far south
as Iowa and Illinois are focking into
Manitoba by the thousands. A reverend
ing stream of them crossed the line last
year. 1t was estimated that not less than
$4,000 Americans settled on Manitoba
lands during 1901, and there is no let-up
this year. A syndicate from Minnesota
purchased 100000 acres in a bunch for
farming purposes. The Iowa homeseek-
ers sell their Iowa lands for about $50 per
acre and invest it Immediately in Mani
toba property. The $4,000 tract lies
south of the G. P. r. between Regina and
the boundary.

Manitoba and the great northwest terri
tories has opened up and they will con-

Gov. Van SAINT Traces Their Relation
for Bankers Benefit. .#
Governor Van SAINT brought the subject
OF tax reform before the meeting of state
bankers in his address of welcome in the
senate chamber this morning. He told
the financiers that there was no dispo-
s1tion to harm any special interests, and
that he was confident the fnal~s result
would be satisfactory to all. There was
just as much patriotism, he said, neces-
sary in paying taxes, as in shouldering a
gun and going to the front in time of
war. All interests should meet the ef-
fort being made in the direction of tax
reform in the right spirit
Before the morning session there was
much informal discussion among the dele
gates on the proposed tax law What
will be the effect of it's provisions on bank
deposits was Of particular interest I'm

possible disastrous results, was feared by
