E Mr.. Anderegg Of Les sueur made 4 Wig
orous assault onsthe inheritance tax bill
before the house judiciary committee to-
day. He declared it was unjust and in
defensible for the state to step in and
seize part Of a mans property after his
death. Just because he was gone and could
not defend g. hirnself.sF Nevertheless, the
committee with the exception of Anderegg
gave it's approval to- THE bill which will be
introduced by Mr.. ,Helliwell tomorrow
It is a substitute for H.. F. 4S introduced
early in the sessionsby Mr.. Helliwelb but
differs. in phraseology. The new bill is
exactly the same IS the one drawn by the
tax commission. Witch is generally: agreed
to be constitutional, It was declared void
by the courts last year because of some
amendments slipped into the bill while on
general orders. There will be special
effort this time to see that the bill goes
through without being nangled.
Taxation Debate Postponed. - -
The committee was to have considered
the taxation amendments to the constitu-
ton to-day, but Mr. Fryberger wanted
more time and they were put over until
tomorrow at his request.

ing of this certificate there shall then be
pending in such district court a civil ac-
ton for the purpose Of determining the
question of jurisdiction on the evidence
taken before the commission, or take
further evidence if it is desired. After
hearing the evidence, the court is to make
an order determining the question of

jurisdiction, the proceedings are again to
be taken before the commission and the
question of the reasonableness Of the

1t is we'll known that Attorney General
Douglas held in the iron ore rate case
that the traffic was not interstate and the
commission had jurisdiction. Mr.. Staples
held with him but was overruled by the
other members Of the commission, who
were backed by Senator Moses c. Clapp.
There is some question whether the
Ward bill will apply now that the case in
point has been determined, but it is I'M
derstood that the commission has never
made formal order dismissing the pro-

Wards Bill.
It Provides Means of Opening Up
Cases Dismissed by R. r.
Commission.

The famous iron ore rate case may be
reopened and taken into court if the
legislature passes a bill introduced by
Senator Ward. It is significant that the
bill was introduced at the request of
Commissioner c. F. Staples, who prepared
it. 1t provides that when the commits
sion shall dismiss a proceeding on the
ground that it has no jurisdiction, any
member of the commission or the at
torney general may bring the question Of
jurisdiction before a; district court for set
tlement. : Either side may appeal to the
state supreme court. The bill provides
that whenever the commission shall dis
miss any proceedings looking to a change
in rates on the ground that the tariffs in
volved are on interstate commerce and
that, therefore, the. state has no jurisdc-
ton, the commission shall. Oh the re-
quest of any member or of the attorney
