Elkhotn and vicinity was, on
Tuesday afternoon, visited for the
second time this season, with a
severe wind, rain and electrical
storm. The public school building,
was moved off the foundation dur
ing school hours but no one was
injured seriously. Outside of town
we hear of small buildings blown
down and trees uprooted. The worst
damage sustained at any one farm
was Thor Madsen's where all his
out buildings were damaged. At
Mrs. Belle Westrope,s place, west
of there, the large barn was struck
by lightning and was destroyed
with it's contents. At Carroll the
streets were inundated and the
streams beyond their banks.

FAY0RS HOUSE BILL
Senate Committee on Taxes Likely
to Indorse Fryberger Gross
Earnings Measure.
Railroad Companies Say They Will
Not Fight Bill in 1h Pres
\ q ~ 49,,

= The per cent gross Searnines bill will
be reported back to the senate, probably
Thursday morning. The committee on
taxes and tax laws gave a public hear
ing Friday night and listened at some
length to Mr.. Fryberger, who spoke in
behalf of the house bill, and General Will
son, who argued for his bill. The sena-
tors feel friendly to the Wilson bill, be-
lieving that 1t would simplify the collec-
ton Of the tax and yield more revenue,
but there Is a dispute on this latter point.
Some claim that the Wilson percentage
system would bring less revenue and,
therefore, it would be hard to get such
a bill carried at the election.
The committee will probably report out
the house bill with little amendment. "A
quiet tip from the railroad companies is
that If the bill passes In that form they
will not contest 1t and If the people adopt
the constitutional amendment they will
begin to pay the per cent tax In 1905.
The committee meets again Wednesday
evening, when it will probably finish con-
sideration Of the bill. That evening has
been set for hearing on the Haugland
franchise tax bill.
The inheritance tax bill. which the
house has passed, is in the hands of {
subcommittee, which Is expected to re-
port Wednesday night. There is a senti
| ment in the senate committee for raisinS
the amount exempted from taxatieS
which Is now $4,000.

Committee Report Adonted.

After Senator Laybourn had been
blocked in an attempt to have the bill
laid on the table, the report Of the COM
mittee was adopted. Senator Laybourn
agreed that the passage Of the bill was
desired by all the merchants Of the state,
standing bills at present protected by ex-
enption laws. No honest man could OBJ
ject to such a law, 1t simply placed the
man drawing his pay weekly on the same
footing as one paid monthly.
i Senator Schaller replied the present ex-
emption was altogether too low as far as
the working classes were concerned. In
the contrary a man might have a farm with
fine buildings and well stocked with cat
tie; in fact be Independent, and still be
exempt from garnishment proceedings,
while in the city a poor working man
with a large family could be deprived Of
his whole income over $25 a month. He
did not know why the legislature should
take such great interest in the grocers and
hardware dealers. There were some peo-
pie, million and half or more, who
were not members of these associations,
and it was for these that the senate
should legislate.
Senator McNamee denied that the State
Federation Of Labor had indorsed the BILL
had positive information that the fedora
tion had approved the measure.
Measure Bad Economic Policy.
Senator Wood declared that it would be
good economic policy to kill this measure
When the country was prosperous the

portance, but when hard times prevailed

cess for two years more at least. The

State Grocers' association and the State
Hardware dealers and indorsed by the

to recommend the bill for indefinite post
ponement.

Ruliffson's bill for the
licensing Of country dogs, came up in
committee of the whole In the house this
morning. Mr.. Nyquist was absent and
Mr.. Rosenwald. asked that action be de-
ferred until that "eminent defender of
the dog should be present. The sugges
ton, however, was not needed.

sofa dog, to-day, had more rights than his
master A dog had a legal right to fright
