EUsTIs AND Low

The parallel between the Eustis saloon
policy in Minneapolis and that; adopted
by Mayor Low in New York is so close
that It h e j our a l. has obtained from
Mayor Eustis an interview with regard to
the matter, Which will be found in this
issue. #a a.. r-.-'E* ..... - ,
To one point in Mr.. Eustis' remarks it
is desirable to call particular attention.
He says: 81 would not have the law pro-
viding for Sunday closing repealed" Ger
tainly not. And, yet, scores Of good peo-
ple,> perfectly conscientious about the
matter, repeatedly declared, during Mr..
Eustis' administration, particularly the
earlier part of it, that If the law against
Sunday closing was not to be strictly en-
forced it might better be repealed; that
it was demoralizing to have upon the
statute books a law which was not
strictly enforced.
Mr.: Eustis, it is said, never took the
position that the law was not enforced
His IDEA was that the law was enforced
as far as practicable, and that seems to
have been a sound position. Public sale
of liquor through the open front door OF
the saloon was stopped and such traffic
as was carried on behind closed doors and
through the side entrance was continually
subjected to restriction and pressure, and
any disorder or the commission of any
crime in connection with the saloons on
Sunday was pretty sure to result in the
revocation of licenses. ..F
Still, it was certainly desirable that the
law against Sunday selling be maintained
on the statute books as a standard to be
aimed at if it could not be quite reached.
A good many laws are aims and ideals
rather than actual measures of conduct.
It would be demoraliZing in the extreme
to repeal the law relating to the sale OF
LIQUOR on Sunday because it would ROB
the police authorities of very effective
club with which to keep the liquor IN
terests in line, and, furthermore, it would
be2a lowering of the ideal condition quite
unnecessarily. It is no argument to say
that the continuance Of law on the
statute books which is not strictly en-
forced is demorallzing. That is as much
as to say that a mans idea of what he
ought to be, if he does not attain to 1T IN
every particular, is demoralizing. On the
con rary, ideals and standards not always
reached are helpful, inspiring. and tend
to the attainment of hlgher%character
both in the individual and in the state.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

. Senator Lowell Il. Jepson is candidate Tor
denomination, and from all indications, he
will have a walk away in the torty-tourth
district The candidacy OF Frank s. Lane
has xnct met with loud demonstrations of ia
vor, and republicans of the third and tenth
wards, and the country as well, seem wen
satisfied to continue their present senator IN
office. He was elected four years ago in a
district normally democratic, and showed con-
siderable ability as a vote-getter, which his
legislative record ought to improve Last
winter he secured recasting Of district lines,
which makes the forty fourth republican
district with good management, and his noln-
nation this fall will mean a pretty certain
reelection. "a. p '@s,.
George W. Armstrong has not declared HIM
self, but will probably ask for another term
in the house, with good prospect or success.
1t is believed that when Lane files his afii-
davit, it will be as candidate for the house;
but the woods are full of would-be legislators.
and if the team which now represents North
Minneapolis in the house goes back next year,
it will not be for lack of a contest. Arm
strong's chances are considered much better
than Lanes. ...r .-
In the thirty-ninth district, Senator Sny-
ders decision to run again cleared the at
mosphere. John c. Sweet would have been
a candidate for the senate had Snyder re-
fused another term; but, with all loyal friends
of the university, he is pleased to see Senator
Snyder remain where he is. Sweet Will ask
for another term in the house
The candidacy of Z. f. Comstock for the
senate is not stirring up much smoke, and
indications are that the thirty ninth will be
represented by much the same old delegation.

No CAUSE FOR A PANIC

The idea has gained foothold IN some
quarters that the proposed tax code is
law to increase revenue. 1t should have
no such effect. 1t will have tendency
to redistribute the burden of taxation
something that in all the preliminary dis
cussion of the need of new tax code was
held to be desirable. Now that 1T is seen
that redist ribution means that property
that has not borne It's logical share Of.
taxation will have to Abear more under
the new code, there are emphatic protests
from those who are pinched. Some OF
these protests are we'll grounded and 90
not arise altogether from a panicky state
of mind in the face of something new IN
the way of administration of the provi-
sions of the law. 1t is undoubtedly true
that business interests that have to COM
pete with rivals in other states who will
continue to escape taxation on property
that logically ought to be taxed are fac
ing a problem Of considerable magnitude,
though we believe that even, they are
overestimating the danger '@s, IS
IT will take about the same amount OF
apolis next year as this year, whether
under the old or new tax code. That is
equivalent to saying that the same total
amount of taxes is to be raised. The tax
commission estimates that the assessed
valuation will be almost quadrupled by
the operations of the new code. We are
inclined to believe that their estimate
~, h0 10
of taxation in Minneapolis next year, or
whenever the law is applied, would, on
the basis Of present municipal expendi-
lures be rs mills. BY their own testi-
mony such tax will not be a hardship
to the grain men.
It will be novel experience to bank
depositors to have to pay rs mills on
the dollar Of their deposits. because they
never have paid any taxes on them before.
But didn't we expect the commission to
readlust the burden Of taxation? Didn't
we expect that it would try to tax prop
! erty that has never before been taxed in
! practice? And why shouldn't the man
| with 81 900 in bank pay taxes on it as
much as the man who has put his $1,000
| into his home?
| On the other hand, just as surely as
some properties will have to pay more
| taxes under the new than under the old
code so others will pay less. 4 The com
munity's total tax burden will remain the
same. The man who has $1,000 in the
| bank and $1,000 in a lot will probably
| pay eenough less on his lot to make up
for the increase on his deposit.
! This is written or the supposition that
there is a possibility that the code will
! become law effective on April 1 of this
year. The Journal prefers to see
it's operation suspended for year. but
| the point we are making is that at the
worst there is no justification for much of
the alarm now felt by taxpayers.

Hill and Tanlmany.

JAM 29.-Developments of first Importance
to the democrats of New York are to follow
the visit Of ex-Controller Bird S. Coler to
Lewis Nixon, the new leader of Tammany
hall.
1t is learned that Mr.. Coler called on the
new leader with full authority to assure him
of the hearty cooperation of David B. Hill
as the leader of the Brooklyn democracy.
Mr.. Coler's visit, it was learned, foreshad-
ows complete harmony in the future between
the city and country wings of the democratic
party. Unless present plans upset. the
democrats of the entire state will hereafter
be agreed on policy in state conventions, and
the peacemakers believe the way will speedi-
ly be paved for repetition of the successive
victories the party had while Grover Cleve-
land, David B. Hill and Roswell p Flower
were in the governors chair.
Mr.. Nixon, when asked about Mr.. Coler's
visit, admitted that he had looked for entire
harmony in the future between city and up
state democrats. .- ..-~
sis it true" Mr.. Nixon was asked that as
result of Mr.. Coler's call, there is likely
to be harmony hereafter between Tammany
and the friends Of ex-senator Hill?"
Il think is is safe to assume, the new Tam
many leader replied, THAT hereafter the DEM
ocrats of all shades of opinion will be found
acting together. 1t is my AIM as said when
l frst6came here to Tammany hall, to secure
to build UP the party. 1t was a great pleas
ure to me to have the assurance Of Mr. Coler
that he was ready to assist me in carrying

nothing in the serial numbers by which the
court or picture cards may be designated,
so these are eliminated, and the game is
played with the numbers alone, as in poker

He produces a bill OF equal dimensons-a
