AN ERROR CORRECTED.

To the Editor Of the Globe
L am surprised at an intimation, or
qualified statement, in the Review of
the Supreme Court of Minnesota" pub
lished in your issue of March 2, 1902, that
the Hon. Henry u. Hayner third chief
justice of the supreme court of the terri
tory of Minnesota, never presided at any
court during his term of office.
This is an error. Chief Justice Hayner
presided at the November term, 1852 Of
the Ramsey county district court and
tried the celebrates murder case of U. 8. VS.
Yue-ah-hase, a Sioux Indian, indicted and
convicted of shooting Mrs. Keatnor. At
that time, by the law, twelve months i'm
prisonment was imposed before execution
The Indian was fattened during his term
in Jail, and at the appointed time was
dragged to the gallows with rope
around him by the sheriff and a posse
and almost tortured before he was hung
up.
Among other cases heard by Judge Hay
ner at this term was an appeal in the
prohibitory maine Liquor law, So
called
The previous legislature had submitted
the enactment of a prohibitory liquor
law to the people of the territory and
the vote was in favor of prohibition by
a small majority. 1t caused great ex-
element and the attempted enforcement
of the law in st. Paul resulted in breaches
Of the peace and broken heads In the
case before the court the validity Of the
law was the question presented. 1 was
employed in the case, and contended that
an attempt had been made to confer leg
islative power upon the people contrary
to the terms of the act organizing the
territory. Judge Hayner in lucid opin-
ion sustained this view and upset the law.
Chief Justice Hayner resided in Troy,
n. Y, when appointed. His predecessor,
Fuller, also was a native of New York
lated with that faction Of the old Wing
party denominated Silver Grays' in OBJ
position to the Radicals led by Gov. Sew
ard.

States in 1851 and, recognized in New York

net only per cent No one can be
blamed for not wishing to cut into his
principal to pay taxes. The income tax
is the only fair and just tax. L believe
in a tax commission, but if you are to
have no new laws what do you want
of a tax commission? Give the auditor
or the governor, if you cannot trust the
auditor, $1,000 with which to secure data
concerning the property of corporations
and the state board of equalization will
have something to work on. L guarantee
you will get results and this extra ses-
sion will not be in vain. Do these three
things and go home and the people WIN
say, God bless you"
J. i. Washburn. Alfred Merritt.
George H Crosby, Duluth. and r. F.
Berdie, Of Hibbing, one Of the St. Louis
county commissioners, addressed the

Of the bill and the harm its enactment

counties. S. B. Livermore, manager of
the Winona Electric Lighting and Street
Car company. and Prof. Hertig, st.
Cloud, were also given hearings
The public hearings win be continued
at o'clock this afternoon, and a large

put in a protest.

Immediately passed. Evidently one men,
Der of the delegation had been overlook
ed in the poll of unanimous consent. Rep
resentative Martin entered an emphatic
protest, and the bill was referred to the
delegation.
The passage of the jacobson bill by the
house has probably saved the annals Of
the senate from records of homicide and
suicide. The upper house had to have
something to kill. and the Jacobson bill
looks as If it would afford slaughter both
pleasant and profitable
jacobson was in good humor vester-
day. After deciding that Block really
needs stenographer, the house commit
tee on appropriations agreed to report
for passage the bill for an appropriation
of $11 500 to permit Public Examiner John
son to keep his shop open and to raise
the secretary of states recording clerk s
salary from 81, 600 to $1,000 per year. When
Jacobson smiles the appointees smile with
him.
The house yesterday passed the Afford
bill removing the Independent school dis
trict officers Of Duluth from the ardous
workings Of the primary election law
In spite of the strenuous objection of
day decided to employ H. w. Severance
as clerk of the enrolling committee at s.
per day. Chairman Schwarg, of the
committee, said that he had been Obliged
to do a clerks work, and inferred that
he would very much prefer to transfer
the labors to one of his constituents. Sew
erance is from Dodge county.
When Gov. Van SAINT and Chief Clerk
Schmal. Of the house of representatives..
cast the collective radiance of their shin
ing dtgnities on Prince Henry today ne
will be sorry he decided not to come TO
Minnesota.
If Treasurer Block had a stenographer
he never would have made the mistake
which raised and dashed the hopes of
the solons yesterday. The joint appro-
priation committee will have to frame
a bill to meet a deficiency. The $4,000
appropriated for legislative expense is
about exhausted. Mr.. Block was not
able Gn the absence of a stenographerl
to give an accurate estimate last night
but Thursday will finish the approp~ia-
ton. Yesterday morning he told the
appropriations committee that the eund
would carry the legislature along until
March 1G. After four weeks work the
solops seem but little nearer the enact
ment Of any tax laws than when they
started, and If they adjourn by March 10
the taxpayers may congratulate them
selves. The committees will probably
wait until the date Of adjournment is
agreed upon and then frame bill to
cover the deficiency.

vision. | still recommend it. 1t is a
crying need. We have $40 supreme court
decisions on the subject of taxation and
every one of them at variance with the
statutes. defy any living man to give
an intelligent explanation of our tax laws
in a reasonable time. 1 saw the bill
which was prepared by the commission
and 1 publicly and privately said it would
not pass. The changes proposed were
too radical for immediate adoption.
Law Is Unjust
81 have been criticised for speaking
against this bill. 1t is my sworn duty
to protest against such laws. 1 am not
infalible, but l have been a student of
tax matters. This proposed law is a
rank injustice to the towns; a rank in
justice to the counties, and leaving the
mining companies out OF the question en-
tirely, it is a rank injustice to every tax
payer. 1t has been. stated that Michigan
has tonnage tax law. 1t has no such
law Its tonnage tax law was repealed
eleven years ago because it was no good.

to make a full argument on the tax code

and pleaded, For Gods sake say moth
ing against the bill. We have got to
pass something l listened to their re-
quest and kept still. 1 meant to advo-
cate the administration features of the
real estate clauses. There you have
overlooked the most important feature
of that bill. I do not care about the
valuation scheme. The valuation may
be full cash value. 90 per cent of the
value or 10 per cent. The administra-
ton features of the bill furnished ma
chinery to collect the taxes. Now one
third Of the property in the state escapes
taxation. Now every two or three years
you pass a forfeited tax bill. You have
passed five Of them in ten years. Under
those bills the tax dodger gets away
by paying the state~ taxes. A tax title
Is not worth the paper it is written on.
The laws are lax and no one fears them.
The tax dodger profits by them and the
local taxpayers suffer. If I had done
as my conscience dictated / should have
recommended that the house adopt the
administrative features of the bill. pre-
pare set Of constitutional amendments
and go home. (Cheers) 1 am sorry now

The repertoire announced is a varied
one, commencing Thursday night with the
picturesque romantic drama, "Belphegor

sublime tragedy, king Lear" which is
claimed by many critics to be Mr.. Warde' s

Sd satisfactory that two more tanks

In the mine some difficulty is being
experienced on account OF the boilers,
which are being rendered useless by
the water, which is heavily charged
with copper and slow progress is being
made in cutting the station on the 300

A new boiler is now necessary and
when this has been put in place 1t is
probable the water necessary to supply
1t will be piped from a spring in the Inn

Since his arrival here last week Gen.
eral Manager W. I. Hook of the New
York and Nevada Copper Company
has cen devoting his attention to mat
ters at the mine and is well pleased
with the progress which has been made
In the development OF the property
during his absence.
Within the past week the new eight
drill compressor. powerful piece OF
machinery, weighing seven tons, has
been placed upon its foundation in the
new addition which was built for it.,
and as soon as the connections have
been completed, which will be within
the next two or three days, the drills
will be in operation, and the work of
development will thus be greatly facili-
tated.
In addition to this improvement a
powerful new hoist has been ordered,
which will be installed in place OF the
old one, which is no longer capable of
satisfactorily handling the output.
In the mine the same good showing
continues, the drifts being all in an ex-
cellent grade of ore, 10 which the h gh
values previously mentioned continue
and with every indication that they
will improve as the work now mapped
out is carried to completion.
