G, EARNINGS PLAN
New One by Fryberger of Hennepin
as a. Substitute for Johnsons
Bill.
Seeks to Raise the Rate Without
Changing Definition Of Gross
&: Earnings.

Representative II. E. Fryberger of Hen
nepin introduced a per cent gross earn
ings bill in the house this afternoon. Mr.
Fryberger will urge his bill as a substitute
for the johnson bill from which it differs
In several important PARTICULARS lie IS
chairman of a subcommittee to which the
Johnson bill was referred and has been
studying the question for several weeks.
He has come to the conclusion after con-
ferences with Attorney General Douglas
and other authorities and careful study
Of decisions, that the rate can be raised
without changing the present definition Of
gross earnings; in other words the roads
awould still pay under his bill on each in
terstate haul the proportion Of the revenue
represented by the mileage over which it
Is carried in Minnesota.
The bill has several new features. 1t
provides that companies shall not be ex-
empt from the payment Of special assess
ments for benefits derived from the con-
struction Of local improvements. A clause
is added, providing that gross earnings
shall include all receipts from any source
whatsoever Of any such railroad company.
This will enable the state to collect taxes
on several items which the railroads now
refuse to give in for taxation. 49,.
Section guards the state against tenn.
porary embarrassment in case the compa
MES contest the validity Of the act andre
fuse to pay. It provides that '.any rail
road company contesting or attempting t.
contest this act or any of it's provision.
shall as q prerequisite and as a condition
precedent thereto pay into the treasur,
Of the state Of Minnesota the amount O
taxes legally due from such railroad com
pany under the existing laws of thi:
state, which this act succeeds"
Section provides for submission to tn,
people at the general election of 1904, ant
II adopted the measure is to take effect i,
1905. The important section Of the bill
reads as follows:
Every railroad company owning or op
Grating any line Of railway situated with
IN or partly within this state, shall dur
Ing the year 1905 and annually thereafter
pay into the treasury of this state as take
upon all property within this state owne,
or operated for railway purposes by suc]
company including equipment, appurten
ances. appendages and franchises thereof
sum OF money equal to per cent of TIL
cross earnings derived from the operatio,
Oh such line of railway within this state
Ana the payment OF such taxes shall be il
1ull and IN lieu OF all other taxes upon tn
property and franchises so taxed, excen
that this act shall not be construed +
exempt such railroad company from tn
payment of special assessments for bene
hts derived from the construction of locs
improvements
The section defining gross earnings
copied word for word from the pre,er
law except the clause Including all va
ceipts."

HOW TO MAKE CAKE.
Some Valuable Suggestions For the
Practical Housewife.

Some Valuable Suggestions For the
Practical Housewife.
Miss Lily Haxworth, who is said to
be the only lecturer on cooking to re-
celve a gold medal for her work in this
line, gave a practical, helpful talk on
cakes and frosting at pure food show
recently. Miss Haxworth is graduate
of the National Thinning School of
Cookery, London. England. These are
a few Of her suggestions on cake max
ing:
The smaller the cake the hotter should
be the oven. Large rich cakes require
very slow baking.
Grease cake pans with lard or drip
pings, as butter will be likely to make
the cake stick owing to the salt in it.
In making fruit cakes add the fruit
before putting in the -four. as this will
prevent 1t falling to the bottom of the
cake FIGURING the fruit is unneccs-
sary unless the fruit is damp.
If cake cracks open while baking
the recipe contains too much -four.
In dreaming butter and sugar. when
the butter Is too hard to blend easily

the sugar, but never warm the butter,
as this will change both texture and
flavor of the cake.
To get fine grained cake beat thor
oughly after the flour is added.
Sweet milk makes cake that cuts like
pound cake; sour milk makes spongy,
light cake.

then 1t may be sifted again with the
baking powder to insure their being

People who are subject to cramp in
the legs should always be provided
with n good strong piece Of cord. espe-
cially in their bedroom. When the
cramp comes on take the cord, wind it
round the leg over the place where it
is cramped, take an end in each hand
and give it a sharp pull, one that will
hurt little, and the cramp will cease
instantly. People much subject to
cramp in bed have found great relief
from wearing on each leg garter of

Few things are more disconcerting to
the thrifty housekeeper than a spill Of
ink on her snowy napery. II n fresh
lemon is always kept in the house the
ugly black stain can be entirely re-
moved by cutting a quarter of lemon
and squeezing the juice on the ink
spot, which should then be rubbed over
with yellow soap and rinsed in cold
water. The properties of the lemon
are so numerous that, like bottle Of

and given in small quantities, is most
