He did not know that some one, not a

There was nothing to do except to make
a place for the senator elsewhere. This
was not satisfactory to the senator, for,
with admirable forethought, he had writ
ten 20 his friends in st. Paul to select a
good seat for him. They had done so and
had duly appraised him Of the fact so Mr..
Naeseth had every reason to think that
the matter had ben properly attended to.
Naturally the new member was not a
little miffed when he found himself so
relegated to the back row among the
democrats and the assistant sergeants at

found and a special delivery message in

The franchise tax, the governor asserts,
is not equitable and is a source Of an
noyance and constant litigation. Some
corporations can bear the burden without
serious results following, but, he says,
the increase in demand for many public
utilities has brought into existence many
corporations which cannot bear the Excess
sive burden which is imposed under the
present law. The only safe and conserv-
alive way Of assessing such corporations,
he contends, is upon their earning capac-
ity. Continuing the governor says:
ut appears to me that in providing new
revenues, advantage should be taken Of q
more liberal mortgage tax and the re-
assumption Of privileges which were sur
rendered to localities under the so-called
franchise tax law.
81 recommend, therefore, that the rate
Of taxation upon mortgages shall not ex
coed four mills annually, and be in lieu
sof all other taxes, the mortgages to be as
sessed locally, two thirds Of the amount
collected to go into the local treasures
and one third to the state, excepting only
mortgages and bonds held by savings
banks, fraterna1 orders local building and
loan associations, life insurance companies
and charitable, religious and educationa,
bodies.
For further revenues recommend 9
tax Of 10 cents on each notary certificate
which will produce $750,000, and q tax Of

Concerning the national guard and la.
or unions, the governor says: ..r.t

There have been instances in. the
state when employers have discharged
employees because Of their connection
with the national guard, notably in
the case resulting from the Brooklyn
railroad strike. Certain labor unions
now deny their privileges because
of membership in the national guard.

ernment The law at present. is in
adequate to meet this condition, and
it should be your duty to correct it

offenses be made misdemeanors and
that punishment be provided for.

livery stable owner. discovered the
theft and started after the rob

near a clurnp Of woods and calling on
them to surrender.
The robbers at once opened fire. which

son or corpora ton. It is not possible to
tell how many acres Of land are involved
in these fraudulent entries, but it runs
into the hundreds of thousands In the
aggregate, taking in the entire sweep Of
country east and west OF the Rocky noun
tains. The opportunity for fraudulent
entry is not so great now as it has been
in the past because every application is
carefully investigated, and no patents is
sued unless the department is satisfied of
the good faith Of the entrynan.
.sAll Of these reasons are, / think, suf-
ficent cause for the repeal Of the present

that the timber may be maintained and
the forest preserved by placing the juris-
ydictfon of the timber lands in the hands
Of the bureau Of forestry and the matured
timber disposed OF. leaving the smaller
trees to mature. and with frequent plant
ing Of young trees to insure a continued
growth. This would insure the conserva-

Washington, JAM THE Cuban reci-

length to-day by the senate committee on
foreign relations, but action upon it was
postponed in order to afford an opportun-

meeting will be held on Friday for that
purpose. There was a general exchange
of views upon the treaty of a nature to
lead to the conclusion that the treaty will
