Ambrose Tighe of st. Paul introduced
bill in the house, this morning, making it
unlawful for any person, firm or corpora
ton other than registered pharma cist to
sell cocaine. Pharmacists, under the pro-
visions Of the bill, may dispose of the drug
only on a physicians prescription which
must not be filled more than once. Prep

LEG PuIIers" Unrestricted.
The Shepard bill, aimed at political
grafters and which made the solicitation
Of ''aid'' from political candidate a mis-
demeanor, was likewise defeated. The
Tighe bill abolishing standing appropria
lions for state institutions was passed.
A Sinking Fund SnarI
The Ramsey county delegation got into
creating a sinking fund for the city Of
st. Paul. The measure was passed under
suspension of the rules, Saturday. This
morning Mr.. Cole of Walker moved to re-
consider the. vote, explaining that he did
so at the request Of Mr.: Tighe of Ram
sey,& who was in attendance upon meet
ing Of the appropriations committee at the
time the bill was passed. Mr.; Tighe said
that he was not necessarily opposed to
the measure, but that he was opposed, as
general proposition. to increasing ST..
Paul's bonded Indebtedness and wanted an
opportunity to Investigate it. The motion
evoked some discussion and finally was
Withdrawn, Mr. Cole giving notice of his
intention to renew it tomorrow. In the
meantime the delegation will make an at
tempt to get together on the measure.
Bucket Shop Bill Blocked.
Mr.. Erickson sought to compel the COM
mittee on judiciary to report out the anti
bucket shop bill. He moved that the bill
be recalled, but the house voted against
him after Representative Armstrong had
explained that the subcommittee to
which the bill had been referred had had
no time to pass upon it's constitutionality.
He promised, however, that the bill would
be considered and reported out at once
and denied any intention to hold it up or
delay it unnecessarily.

STATE TAX LOWER R
Maximum for State Purposes in
- 1904 and 1905 Will Be ;*-..,
One Mill.
Income From Corporation Taxes Is
~ an Important Factor in
This Result.

The maximum tax levy for the years
1904 and 1905 will be one mill for state
revenue.
This is the levy that was made for the
current year by r. G. Dunn. the retiring
state auditor. 1t is three mills lower than
the maximum fixed two years ago. The
state tax levy has ben steadily reduced
for several years. Altho the valuation has
been increased, the expenses of state gov
eminent have been held down The maxi
mum levy is fixed by the legislature, but
the state auditor may reduce it at his dis
erection. In fact he has sufficient au-
thority under the constitution to make the
levy without action of the legislature.
The state auditors estimates for the
next two years hold expenses down to the
previous records. The omnibus bill now
being prepared may go over his estimates
somewhat, in fact it is expected that they
will, but the corporation taxes are in
creasing every year and this relieves the
state more and more Of the burden of di-
rect taxation. - 4
! The maximum levy for all state purposes
Will be 2.53 mills. This will be made up Of

Board Walks Must Go.

The above heading appears on an ar
ticlc in the CIarinda Herald announce
ing that the council there has passed
an ordinance requiring that sidewalks
be Of cement, stone or brick. Towns all
over the state are passing such ordi-
nances. Many did SO several years ago
and now their streets are becoming at
tractivc. The building of good side
walks bcgets pride in the appearance of
surroundings. Lawns are better kept,
refuse is not allowed to accumulate in
unsightly places and there is general
cleaning up. Centerville is doing well
to pass the ordinance that came up fol
it's first reading at the last council
meeting. 1t is cheaper in the end to
put down the permanent walks and Cen,
terville people can be counted on tc
accept the provisions of the ordinance
The requirements are that when new
walks become necessary they be fol
permanent material, unless in places
where conditions are such that the
council will permit board walks.--Cen

Kill the Flies.

Flies are filthy creatures, who do
much toward distributing typhoid and
other diseases which are the most dead
ly of our climate. A little painstalSing
care in the destruction of few hun
dreds which buzz about now will pre-
vent the production Of millions later on.
The fewer flies we have, the less will the
fcrmenting filth Of the alley, the gar
bage pals and the virulent toNincs of
dead animals be added to the food Of
human beings by these omnipresent
pests. A judicious use of fly paper to-
day may prevent a doctors bill or an
undertakers bill later on. In our eli
mate snch pests are easily controlled.
1t is careless Indifference that permits
them to become dangerous nuisance.
If they can be limited in tropical eli
mates of perpetual summer so that the
diseases which they communicate are
virtually stamped out, we ought to be
ashamed Of ourselves if we neglect de
cent precautions. Detroit Tribune.

Condones City's Crime.

The Abba News, in reply to the criti-
cisms against Abba for permitting
saloons to run by paying monthly fines,
instead Of speaking not strongl y against
such an unlawful act makes the follow
ing excuse:
The News does not sanction the
violation of law in any kind of q case.
Laws are to regulate nations, states and
communities and should be observed
If they are bad laws the people arc
supposed to be supreme and they should
rectify them, but we don't see that it is
any worse for city council to violate a
law than it is for state legislature to
do so. The state constitution contains
a radical prohibition law. The legisla
ture says that we may violate that law
with impunity by paying a monthly fine
Of $500, providing 65 per cent Of tho
people consent. Our city council says
the law may be violated on the same
terms without first obtaining the Go PEI
cent consent. Both are wrong ant
should not be tolerated, but one is M
worse than the other.
