MUNICIPAL BILLS
MAY CAUSE CHAOS
Corporation Attorney Says
Proposed Bond Legislation
Will Lead to Trouble.

While relief from charter, many of
whose provisions have outlived their
usefulness. is promised in the multi
tude of st. Paul bills now before the
legislature, chaos instead is predicted
by many of the city officials should the
majority of them become laws.
Il can hardly pass on the probable
effect of some of the proposed laws
at this date said Corporation Attor
ney Michael last night, but there will
undoubtedly be some trouble The
right Of the state to supersede home
rule charters with laws Of its own
making is unquestioned, but in, our
case the charter under which we are
working is of such an intricate nature
that it calls for laws equally as full
in their makeup to wipe out the pro-
visions affected. That is the one trOu-
BILE with home rule charters and st.
Paul is now realizing it."
One of the main sources of trouble
as result of the corrections now be-
ing made is the scheme to issue bonds
and the uses to which they shall be
put The charter prescribes one thing
and the proposed amendment says an
other, but the charter is so diversi-
fed in it's language that it will be hard
for an amendment in ordinary language
to cover it and not be subject to
doubt.
The legal department is positive that
judicial opinion will be necessary to
test many of the laws now being passed
for the benefit of st. Paul, and is pre-
pairing for a busy season in anticipa-
ton thereof

BISCUIT PROTECTED.
The United States Circuit Court De-
cides That an Imitation of the In
err Seal Trade Mark Design
Is Unlawful

The strongest evidence of the ever
growing tendency toward purer food is
the protection now being afforded by
the courts to those who are devoting
their efforts to the improvement of the
things we eat. This is especially man
fest by the decision just rendered by
Judge Hazel, of the United States cir
cult court, in favor Of the National
Biscuit company, who sought protec-
ton against an Infringement of their
1n-er-seal trademark design, so we'll
known to all lovers Of biscuit, crackers
and waters.
Judge Hazels decision IS broad and
clear, and of great Importance to the
pubic at large. He says in part: THE
proofs show that the National Biscuit
company manufactures various kinds
of bakery products, which they place
upon the market in special and distinct
cartons and packages. Upon the end
.of each package or carton is applied
the trademark, printed upon a square
label or seal, clipped at the corners,
with clear white lines upon a vivid
red background. That the COMPLAIN
ants trademark and manner of dis
playing same attracts the public at
tentlon cannot be successfully disput-
ed. And it is manifest that the de-
PENDANT deliberately and frauduIently
initiates the trader mark of the com
plainant, and in that manner designs to
palm off his goods for those of the
complainant"
Judge Hazel further orders that the
defendant be enjoined from initiating
or Stimulating the In-er-seal trademark
of the National Biscuit company
The Importance of this decision is
better understood in the light of the
fact that millions of people depend
solely upon the In-er-seal trademark
as a guide in buying biscuit, crackers
and waters. Its appearance on the
ends of package is being recognized
as an assurance that the contents are
perfectly fresh, clean and wholesome.

POWERS CRITICISES
ASSESSOR CONLEY
Thinks Saloon Fixtures Are Not Pro
perry Assessed.

County Commissioner James Powers
is not satisfied with the methods en-
ployed by Assessor COnley in assess
ing saloon fixtures and will, it is
stated, introduce a resolution at the
next meeting of the county board call
ing for a radical change in the system
of assessing this class of property.
Commissioner Powers wants the as
SCISSOR to secure returns on saloon fix
lures direct from the brewing compa-
MES instead of from the persons in
charge, cOntending that the brewers
own the fixtures in the majority Of
the saloons.
Mr.. Conley contends that the county
has lost nothing by the present sys-
tenn and does not take kindly to the
unlimited dictation Of Commissioner
Powers.
Mr.. Powers contemplated action is
said to be the result of some trouble
between himself and Assessor COnley
at the time the deputy assessors were
named. The refusal Of Mr.. Conley
to permit Commissioner Powers to die
tate the selection of the deputies for
the commissioners country district is
said to have caused the county COM
missioner to become belligerent. and
now he is trying to even up matters
by finding fault with the manner in
which the assessor is conducting the
affairs of his office.
At the time the deputy ass SCISSORS
We're named there is said to have been
some strong words between Mr. Pow
ers and Assessor Conley, the latter
intimating that previous assessments
in Commissioner Powers district had
not been above suspicion and that he
proposed to use his own judgment
hereafter in the selection of his depu-
ties

URGES STATE TO
CARE FOR TIMBER
Warden Andrews Points Out
Need and Value of Scien-
tific Forestry Methods.

Gen. c. C. Andrews, chief state fire
warden, in speaking yesterday Of for
estry and state protection, said:
The Minnesota Forestry association
was organized twenty-siX years ago,
and the late E. f. Drake, of st. Paul,
was it's first president. We have been
talking forestry many years. Shall we
let a generation that has been educated
on the subject die off before action Is
taken?
1T all depends upon whether there
will be found a few statesmen in the
legislature determined to carry through
some measure that will at least be Il
beginning towards forest reproduction
on our waste lands. If such be the
purpose, then much encouragement
will be found in the example of Eu
ropean countries. In all of those cOun-
tries there are statistics of the public
or state forests showing the rate of
yield. The principles of forestry are
the same everywhere, but the revenue
from forests is naturally greater in
Europe than it would be in this cOun-
try by reason of denser population,
cheaper labor and higher value of for
est products.
For example, Bavaria, whose cap
ital, Munich, so many Americans have
visited, has 2,150,000 acres of state for
est, II per cent of which is cOniferOus,
SlelUlnS Il net annual revenue OF 3d.
222, 145, or $3.50 per acre.
France, exclusive of the colonies,
has 100000 acres OF forest, of which
only 2,700, 600 acres are state forest. OF
the latter SOC, 900 acres are protective
fOrests-situated on mountains to pre-
vent landslides and on the sand dunes
of the ocean, to prevent the sand from
drifting into the interior and submerg-
ing good land. The net annual revenue
from the 100000 acres of productive
state forest is $1.91 per acre.
France eXpends 100000 a year for
scientific forestry in her province of
Algeria.
There are in the whole kingdom of
Prussia 21,0O0,000 acres of forest, of
which 5000 00O0 acres are state forests,
yielding a net annual revenue of So
100000, being at the rate of $3.50 per
acre and more than the average Amer
lean farmer clears from his field crops.
"a dozen other European states prac-
tice scientific forestry at about equal
relative profit the land in nearly all
cases being mountainous or sandy and
non agricultural.
I'VE are all proud OF Minnesota's
charge at Gettysburg. but twenty such
charges could not reflect so much true
honor upon our state as would a system
Of scientific forestry applied to all of
her waste agricultural land"

Seven pounds of fine gray ashes, the

returned to their earthly source yes
terday morning, when Supt Albert

full after handful of the ashes was

until every particle was distributed to

dying wish of Mrs. Dixie
"Cremate my body and scatter my
