man living ten miles east Of here
near Hulett, went into a frenzy of
insanity on Tuesday night and as
saulted his brother, Mr.. Bud sprad-

fiction a dangerous, if not fatal, wound,
1t is thought that young Spradlin had
been unbalanced for Some weeks, and
the day previous to the attack he was
in court of, inquiry at Carrollton for
abandonment, and the case was dis
missed. A number of the citizens
from the Hulett community brought
young Spradlin to town in a hack

he was said to be very violent. The in
jured brother is in a precarious con-
dition. A writ of lunacy was sworn
out for young Spradlin. r

LEGISLATION along tax lines must come by
evolution. and until the constitutional limita-
tions are removed in my judgment it would not
be wise to enter upon general tax legislation
Extract from Gov. Van SAINTS message 10 Leg
islaturc of 1908.
In view of the imperative necessity
Of tax reform, when the governor dis
covered that the legislature was about
to adjourn without taking any steps to
remove the constitutional Limitations"
it was his bounden duty to issue his
proclamation converting the legislature
in extraordinary session Immediately
after the close of the regular session.
for the purpose of framing tax amend
ments to the constitution that would
remove the limitations referred to. if
adopted by the voters. Then the next
legislature would have been free to en-
act an up-to-date tax code, code that
would have more equitably distributed
the burdens of taxation.

ALEXANDER RAMSEY.

The death at his home in St. Paul
last Thursday of Alexander Ramsey re-
moves one of the great historical char
acters of Minnesota, and for the whole
northwest for that matter and closes
the long and active career of a man
whose public life and answering de-
votion to duty has left it's impress
on the history of Minnesota for all time
to come. Alexander Ramsey was one
of the civic giants of the country: For
more than fifty years he was in public
life and his career was a kind that pro-
NOTED the welfare Of the State. Of a
hardy parentage and a fine physique
and with a great native talent enriched
with an early devotion to books he was
well fitted to discharge the public du-
ties that were his to discharge. AS the
first territorial governor Of Minnesota
he aided largely in shaping events for
statehood. In dealing with the In
dams he manifested remarkable ex-
ecutive ability as we'll as diplomacy
and tact, and when Minnesota was or
gained as a State and congress gave
the State two sections OF land in every
township for school purposes there was
an attempt made by political sharks
and grafters to buy the school lands of
the State for 1925 per acre and the leg
islature passed a bill providing for the
sale of the school lands at this price, but
Governor Ramsey vetoed the bill. By
this act alone he saved to the State
lands that have created a great school
fund that is a jewel in the crown of
Minnesota's greatness, and this has
proved great inheritance TO
the school children of the State.
1t is such acts as this that make noble
lives and men truly great. Those who
would have sold the school children's
blrthright for a mess of pottage have
long since passed behind the curtain of
life "unhonored and unsung" while the
man who saved the school fund to the
State will live in history. AS war
governor he rendered President Lin
coin the gallant ''Old First Minnesota
that won glory and fame at Gettysburg,
and he issued commissions to officers of
Minnesota regiments who were pro-
noted for brave and gallant service on
the field. Alexander Ramsey was dig
nified and courteous in his manner. vet
unassuming and of a quiet disposition.
He was true to his convictions and loyal
in the discharge of his duties as a citi-
zen and public official. Minnesota can
well be proud of such man.

The explosion Of the oil tanks of the
Northwestern Star Oil Co. at Minne-
apolis last week and the dreadful loss
Of life that resulted should be lesson
TO all municipalities which should ex-
ercise the utmost caution and protect
human lives with all due safeguards in
the storage and handling of all highly
infiammable and explosive materials,
It is said that the president of the COM
pany realized the danger and intended
to remove the tanks and their danger
Gus contents, but the absence of the
warning finger of the law was respon-
sible for the delay and the awful catas-
trophe that resulted. If the truth
were known there is no question but
what the public would be amazed at
the careless and reckless manner in
which explosives are often stored about
buildings in cities and smaller places
as well. It is high time that the
proper authorities looked into these
matters more closely. ~: ~.< -. ~

NEGLECT OF DUTY.

The failure to provide for tax reforms al
most overshadows thegood things accomplished
by the legislature. <Of the urgency of this mat
ter there is no question and the Republicans
will have; to keep very busy during the next
campaign explaining their i'll success in so vital
q matter Crookston Times:
When the committees from the SEN
ate and house waited upon Gov. Van
SAINT Immediately prior to adjournment
to ascertain if he had anything further
to communicate TO the legislature, he
should have answered by sending a
ringing message calling special ses-
sion for the sole, purpose. of enacting
proper tax amendments to the consti-
tuition to be submitted to the voters at
the next general election. Had spec
ial session been convened Immediately
after the close of the regular session the
legislature would not have dared to ad-
journ without enacting the necessary
tax amendments for submission to the
voters. In all probability the extra
session would not have lasted to exceed
two days. The State would have been
to no expense for the mileage of the
members, and the cost would have been
a mere bagatelle, two or three thous-
and dollars at most. The governor had
plain duty to perform, but he was not
equal to the emergency. President
Roosevelt did not hesitate to convene an
extra session of the United States SEN
ate to consider the Cuban treaty, and
the treaty was promptly ratified. Gov.
Odell of New York did not hesitate to
call a special session of the legislature
of that state to consider measures per-
tanning to the taxation of public fran
chise corporations. There were plenty
of precedents for Gov. Van SAINT to fol-
low.
The failure Of the legislature to pro-
vide for the submission of suitable tax
amendments to the constitution has de-
layed the cause Of tax reform in this
State for at least four years. Whether
the house or senate was blamable is i'm
material. Nothing has been accom-
plished. The governor could have
forced the legislature to act, and at
trihing expense to the State. He is
equally as guilty of neglect of duty as
the legislature.
