ADOPTS TIGHE'S TAX PLAN
ABOLISH GRAND JURIES
House Committee on Judi
ciary Will Report for Pas
sage Ramsey Legislators
Constitutional Amend
ments Providing Wide
Open Taxation Policy.

The house committee on judiciary
has decided in favor of the Tighe bill
submitting proposed amendments to
sections 1, 2, 8, 4 and 16 of article 8
of the constitution. The plan of the
Tfghe bill is known as the wide open"
policy, and the committee Will recon-
mend that the whole proposition be
printed on the ballot
The classification wide open" as ap-
piled to the Tighe bill Is a misnorner,
but 1t and similar measures of former
sessions have been so dubbed in con-
tradistinction from those involved
measures retaining so much of the re-
strictive clauses of the constitution.
Up to Legislature.
The Tighe bill puts the matter of
taxation in the hands of the legislature,
save for those restrictions which have
come to be recognized as inseparable
parts or the popular idea of taxation
safeguards. Aside from eXempting pub
lc, educational, religious and cemetery
property, as under the present consti-
tutlonal provisions, the bill provides
that the legislature may exempt per-
sonal property to the amount of $500:
prohibits the surrender or suspension
OF the power of taxation and then
passes the whole matter over to the
legislature to be covered by the enact
ment of general laws.
The Tighe Amendments.
The power Of taxation shall never be
surrendered or suspended
Taxes shall be uniform on the same
class of subjects and shall be levied
and collected under general laws for
public purposes.
But property used exclusively for re-
lg1ous educational, charitable. ceme-
tery, government or public purposes
snail be exempt from taxation, and
personal property not exceeding in val
ue $500 for each household, individual.
or mead Of a family, as the legislature
may determine.
The friends Of the proposition claim
that 1t Is so simple that there can he
no question of it's misunderstanding nv
tne public II 1t is submitted entire. as
they purpose doing.
See Trouble Ahead.
The only question raised in the com.
m1ttee meeting which adopted it, was
that OF eXempt1ng educational and
cemetery property The educational
ploper6y exemption was opposed by
some of the members on the theory that
educational institutions conducted
purely for pecuniary profit escape tax
alton under the present constitution.
They would remedy this by collecting
taxes on all educational property not
supported by taxation.
Messrs. F'ryberger and Anderegg saw
any nope OF adoption go glimmering, if
that clause was tackled on as it would
result in taxing the parochial schools.
and 1T took but little argument on their
part to convince their colleagues that
educational institutions must be ex-
empted or no constitutional amend
ments will be passed. An hour was
spent in pickering over the phraseol-
ogy OF the blil and then it was adopted
just as outlined by the author. If win
be reported to the house this morning
and made special order for some day
next week.

OLSEN PUTS IN BID.
Expected Bill for Increase Of State
Superintendent's Salary Arrives.

The long promised bill to increase
the salary Of the state superintendent
OF pupnc instruction to $4,000 per year
arrived In the house yesterday morn
ing, fathered by Representative Ben
nett.
The state superintendents salary is
general gets $4,000, the dairy and food food
commissioner gets $1,80O, now tempo
rarily increased by special appropria-
ton to $4,000. The state labor com
missioner gets $1,000 per year. The
state superintendent says he thought
the job Van SAINT gave him under the
mistaken impression that Olsen was of
swedish extraction, carried a salary
of $4,000. His disappointment was
keen. He decided, however, to accent
a reappointment at $4,000. Possibly
not entirely because that is more than
ne could earn outside the states en-
ploy, but rather that he was unwilling
to deprive the people of his services
and had hopes of getting the raise.

Representative Tighe, chairman Of
the house comittee on appropriations,
yesterday recommended the Red Wing
appropriation bill, carrying an appro-
pr1ation Of $4,000, for passage. The
appropriation is sought for necessary
repairs on the heating and plumbing
plant of the state training school and
the bill was so amended In committee
that any portion of the $1,000 not used
In making the repairs will revert to the

The appropriations committee has
decided to incorporate the printing de-
nclency bill with the omnibus appro-
prlation bill The claim Is recognized
by all the members of the committee
as Just and several members were in
cllned to consider it as an emergency
proposition and report it out at once
Tor passage. 1t was decided, however,
that as long as the claimants have
waited year for their pay few
weeks more will make little difference
and the printing of the laws of the ex-
ira session and the proposed constitu-
uonal amendments will be paid for at
the close of the session
Inc committee has recommended the

prlation clause to pass. This was

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 1O-There is
excitement among the ladies of Dallas
who are working to raise funds for
local kindergarten work. Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, or her private secre-
tary, sent cheap cotton handker-
chief to be sold. AT a mass meeting
today much indignation was expressed
at the gift and remarks made in re-
gard to Mrs. Roosevelt's handkerchief
taste which were decidedly uncompli-
mentary.
A resolution was adopted that the
handkerchief should be returned to
Mrs. Roosevelt after being exhibited
at the reception to be held, at so much
per look. A handkerchief received
from Mrs. Jefferson Davis for the same
purpose was gratefully accepted by
the ladies getting up the bazaar.
