Attorney General Says 20 Days
Notice Must Be Given.
Office of Attorney General,
St. Paul. March IA, 'O4.
E. A. Trip,
President Village Council.
Worthington, Minnesota.

Dear Sir
On March 2nd of this, I expressed
the opinion that under the amended
charter of your village, a petition
for the privilege of voting on the
question of the issuance of licenses
to sell intoxicating liquors should be
filed at least twenty days before the
election. Your charter provides that
the petition mentioned shall be pre-
sented not less than 20 days before
the annual election; and the general
law, found in section 1866, Gen.
Stat. 1894 fixes the time at Is days
before the annual election, and, in
my opinion, the general law does
not repeal the provisions of your
special charter upon this subject
A petition having been filed Is
days before the election, in my opin-
ion, would not be operative in your
village The question could not law
fully be submitted under such .peti-
ton, and all votes cast upon the
question If the same we're submitted
under said fifteen days petition,
would be of no validity.
Yours very truly,
c. W. Somerby,
Asst. Attv. Cen

PEOPLE SEEK JUSTICE.

Walla Walla. Wash, March 49,
Governor Mcbride arrived in the city
today and Immediately drove to the
penitentiary, where he. in company
with Grant Neal. chairman OF the
board Of audit and control, examined
the affairs Of the place.
The governor had many politica
callers today, and gave a correct imI-
tation Of how to look happy though
bored.
The governor says that "the people
Of the state ask only justice in the
matter Of freight rates. The rate on
grain from Minneapolis to Asia Is ss
per ton, while the rate from Eastern
Washington to the same destination
is $775, an insignificant reduction for
a very much shorter haul. That is
what makes the farmer feel sore.
Rates on manufactured items, etc,
are not as they should be.
"A railroad commission is not to
make railroading Improbable. but to
make agriculture and manufacturing
more profitable. A commission would
look at conditions from the stand
point of the producer the consumer
and the railroad, and all would natur-
ally profit, as all are needed for the
development Of the state. Equity
harms no one.
Il have the greatest confidence that
all win be well in the state, and that
the principles for which we are con-
tending win triumph"

Toxic. March 19-The British min

ton Of Hales, the correspondent of the

anese army, giving as his reason that
Hales reports from the Transvaal
during the Boer war were slanderous
of the British army" The Japanese
government requires that all corre-
spondents shall have the Endorsement
of the resident minister of the coun-
tries they represent. Hales will there

The government has not yet fully
disclosed the proposal concerning the
war taxes to be submitted to the spe-
cial diet about to meet next week, but
1t now appears that it will not pro-
pose any changes in the tariff ON sugar
but win instead recommend a domestic
tax on the basis previously stated. II
now seems probable that the only
changes effected in the customs tariff
will be an increased duty on kerosene,
because that trade is chiefly in the
hands of British merchants.
1t is anticipated that there viii be
a serious contention in the diet over
the taxes on sugar and silk, and deal
ers in the former commodity are
agitating for reduction in
the rate which 1t is thought the gov
ernment will propose.

rate Persons are paying as high as
$40 ton for hay laid down at their
ranches. 1t is either this or lose their
stock. Another reason for this condi-
ton is the poor range Of last season
and therefore much stock which would
otherwise have been shipped was
kept for another season.
If northen Montana was an open
country instead of having all the riv-
ers fenced in on both sides, stock
and sheep can secure sufficient water
they can subsist long time without
