TAX TITLE. MANIPULATION
A Bill introduced by Fryberserf Would
Stop It,


A Bill introduced by Fryberserf Would
Stop It.
Two bills introduced in the house by Mr..
Fryberger of Henenpin last Monday are
said to have aroused considerable excite
ment among the fraternity Of tax
sharks They are aimed at the frequent
practice of setting aside tax sales and
requiring the state to pay the accunu-
lated interest. 1t is generally done ny
collision between the original owner or
the property and the man who buys It in.
The eagle eye OF the tax title shark often
detects some technicalityz which makes
the sale invalid. He then goes in Ca
boots" with the original owner, and they
agree to keep still about it for six years:
by which time the statute of limitations
has run against the taxes for which. the
property was sold Then they engage In
a friendly suit, which results In the court
declaring the sale void. The county must
then pay back to the purchaser the pur-
chase money, with II per cent interest.
and restore the property to the Original
owner as it is too late to have the tract
resold. -.> s,-.- ~.
One Of Mr.. Fryberger's bills reduces the
interest to be paid the purchaser where a
sale is declared invalid, from u per cent
to 6, It also requires that a suit to de-
termine title must be brought within i've
years which will enable the county still
to reach one year of delinquent taxes.
q, The other bill requires that when such
a suit is brought the county attorney
must be notified, so he can appear at the
hearing and protect the interests of the
| county In a recent case the county had
! to pay out $4,000 for a tax sale set aside
without any knowledge Of the county au,
thorities, other than the judge who made
the order. Fl 49, ..-.. 49, d.

FOR NURSERY INSPECTION
Outline Of Bill Whose Passage Is Desired
by Nurseryne1.

.-.. .. by Nurserymen. ..t.,E
The house committee on agriculture
to-day recommended, for passage the
nursery inspection bill, II. f. 245..py Mr.
Morley =. IS Or. ~, 80. -.
The bill has been prepared at the re-
quest of Minnesota nurserymen and is
similar to the Iowa law. If it passes 1t
will be such law as is found In almost
every sta te where nursery stock is grown
and where fruit raising is one OF the agrl-
cultural features. AS it is now, in the
absence Of any Minnesota law. all
nurserymen who ship out Of the state are
obliged to send with their goods GER
tiicate of inspection before such stock
is allowed to enter the states where such
laws prevail. but nurserymen or any par
ties outside of Minnesota can unload upon
Minnesota, any kind Of trash, which may
be infested with injurious insects or con-
| tagious plant diseases, without the s1ght-
est hindrance. .... 49,
| Mr. Morley's bill was carefully exam
| ined by the executive committee of the
state horticultural society, by the ento-
mologist at the experiment station and by
all Of the nurserymen doing business
within the state. The original Iowa. law
was somewhat modified to suit the condi
tions in Minnesota and the bill as now
presented meets with the approval of all
the parties interested in clean business
along the line of nursery stock. and in
the progress Of the states horticulture
interests. III.
1t will be noted that inspection Is not
required of the smaller nurseries within
the state. Further. Of the fifty nursery
men within the state. there are only about
sixteen firms who ship to other states
The law does not say that these must BE-
inspected, but 1t does say that the en-
tomologist is to inspect such stock wller
requested by the owner or by the agent
Ina smuch as a certificate is required b.
other states before nursery goods cal
enter therein, all these firms will natural
, ly ask for inspection. Should there b.
any serious complaint OF infested stool
\ entering the state or complaint Of any or
; chard or nursery being seriously or dan
gerously infested. the entomologist IS EN-
powered to take such measures as vii
insure the restriction or destruction o
such / pest or pests as have given ris
= to the complaint.
Some farmers seem to. believe that tn
entomologist at the experiment station
can enter upon any farm or garden an
inspect all growing stock, charging
fee Of IS in each case. The bill contain
no such provision. The nurserymen ar
using their influence with their repre-
sentatives to secure it's passage.

A TAX ON THE HEIRS
New Inheritance Tax Bill by He'll.
we'll Passed the House Yester-
day Afternoon. II
The Proceeds From This Tax Are
Estimated at 100000 a
Year.

Representative Helliwell's bill taxing
inheritances, which was made special
order in the house, yesterday afternoon,
was passed II to IS after somewhat pro
tracted debate. Every member Of the
Hennepjn delegation voted for the meas
ture. The bill provides for a tax Of per
cent on all inheritances to blood relations
on the amount of the Inheritance in, ex-
cess Of $1,000 and Of 5 per cent in cases
where the property is left to another
devsee. The tax is to be paid into the
state treasury direct. and will, 1t is
thought, amount to 800, 900 a year.
Mr.. Fryberger sought to have the blu
amended so that the tax should be paid
into the county treasures. but the coun-
try members fought that provision aud 1t
was beaten. Lawrence Johnson wanted
the exemption raised to $4,000. but this
also was defeated. The bill finally
passed practically unchanged 1t avoids
constitutional objections by taxing per
sonal, real and mixed property alike.
