CITY ESTIMATES CUT
But Tax Levers Provide for Several
Needed improvements.

After holding an evening session yester-
day the board of tax levy, made a tentative
cut Of about $4,000 in the estimates for
the city's current expense fund. Every de-
partment was cut except that Of the city
engineer and the health department. The
progressiveness advocated by the Com
mercia1 club has been displayed, and while
the tax levy board has not been able to
give all that was asked, it purposes to
make beginning in several important
improvements. Thus it intends to pro-
vide modern voting machine for each Of
the thirteen wards, to extend the all
night lighting district and to increase the
police force by ten patrolmen.
Mayor Haynes did not think he was
fairly treated but inasmuch as every
mayor since 1890 has asked for an increase
in the force and he is the only one that
could be heard it is hoped that his honor
will accept the small loaf with his accus-
toned cheerfulness.
The permanent improvement fund esti-
mates were cut from 1901, 800 to s275, 900
by taking 100000 off the Dupont avenue
culvert and $4,000 off the proposed bridge
across Minnehaha creek at Lyndale ave
nue., and smaller cuts elsewhere. The
item Of refundments on special taxes IL
legally collected was increased from $15,-
900 to $4,000 It Is likely that the board
will include an item Of $4,000 for the
Improvement Of the important highways
connecting with the county roads.

$1.Q0 and consists Of an inhaler that! can
be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and bottle Of Hyomei. The in
haler lasts a lifetime, and If one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for SO cents. It is the
most economical Of all remedies adver-
5tised for the cure Of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her method
Of treating diseases of the respiratory
organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for a few
minutes four times a day and your catarrh
is cured. That's all.
If not cured, yoegeli Bros, corner
Washington and Hennepin avenues, will

Labor Commissioner Predicts a
New and Better System.
Employees Will Ultimately Become
Stockholders with the
Employers.
COOPERATIVE
PLAN SHANTYBOATs IN DANGER

Philadelphia, Dec. 16-"The wage
system will pass away. in it's stead.
i believe, there will come q system
which will be composed of the profit
sharing and the cooperation ideas.
The great labor question mean the
struggle of humanity for a higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employe, as well as the
stakeholder, as an investor"
These words were contained in an
address upon THE Wage Question"
made by Carroll d. Wright, United
States commissioner of Labor, before
the Society of Ethical Culture, of this
city.
OF scarcely less interest than his
prediction of new labor system was
Col. Wright's approval of plan to
insure labor against incapacity result
ing from accident, illness or advanc.
ing age. The German idea was quoted
under which the employer pays one
fourth the cost of a sick and death
benefit policy, the employee one. fourth,
and the government one-half. EN-
gland" said Colonel Wright, has
taken up this question, and we Of the
United States are steadily approaching
it,"
Continuing, Colonel Wright said
Capital charges to the consumer the
depreciation of property and machin.
cry. Why should not the depreciation
of labor's machinery, its HANDS its
brains. its body, be included in the
final cost?
"We see in every progressive COM
munity that the demand of the work
ingmen is no longer for q wage sufii-
cient to enable him to keep body and
soul together.
Labor has been taught TO feel that
it is social as well as an economic
power in the community, and this ed
cuating process has gone ON until the
demand of labor is for a reasonable
margin beyond that fixed by the iron
law of wages.
THE wages system will pass away.
Ii is, as has been shown, unsstisfscto-
~ in many Of its applications. 1t de-
ponds too largely for its equities upon
the generosity and great mindedness
of employers. That there are many
such who would scorn to influence the
votes or actions of their employees, and
who would be incapable of taking pet
ty or great advantage of their work
men is happily true. That there are
others, however, who make use of
these opportunities proves the weak
ness of the system, and argues for a
greater measure of independence for
those who labor.
1.-THE system that will take the
place of that under which mere wages
are paid probably will be composed Of
the profit sharing and cooperation
plans The work people will then 90.
quire the interest of investors, the
more capable will rise to their oppor.
tunities, and the less worthy will find
their level"
