TARIFF REVISION
RESTS WITH HOUSE
Senators Promise Not to Block
Decision Reached by
Lower Branch

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Whether
there will be an extra session of con-
gress for revision of the tariff is a
question, in the expressed opinion of
leaders of the senate, that must be de-
-termined by the president and the
house. Several senators contend
steadfastly that the responsibility of
tariff revision agitation must be borne
by the house, while the senate will
join in perfecting such legislation as
may be provided if an extra session is
called by the president and a bill be
passed by the house. The senators
holding this view are not confined to
those who attended the conference at
the White house. Yet they assume that
the attitude of the senate, as. repre-
sented by the senate conferees, was
not in opposition to tariff revision if
that programme should be decided upon
by the president. Senators who plan

1NENLANDS BILL
THREATENS STATE
Congressman's Scheme Would
Put Entire Burden of Taxa.
ton on People

If Congressman Newlands' bill to put
the railroads of the country under fed
eral control and a federal scheme of
taxation shall become law Minnesota
will need to look elsewhere for more
than two-thirds of the amount raised
for state taxes, and now paid by the
railroads of the state.
Under the present plan of imposing
tax on the gross earnings of railroads,
Minnesota last year received nearly
$2,O00,000 from the roads, and the en-
tire amount raised in taxes by the
state was less than $3,000,OOO The op-
Grafton of the Nevada congressmans
plan would put back. the burden of
raising the two-thirds on the people of
the state.
Prominent state officials doubt the
constitutionality of such an act as is
proposed by the Western congressman,
for they say that it would be violation
of the states right to levy taxes on the
property within it's borders. Carried
to its logical conclusion, they say it
would result in the state going. out of
business for want of funds with which
to operate the machillery of the state
government.
What the Railroads Pay
Few people have an Appreciation of
the large proportion of the entire
amount raised in taxes by the imposi-
tion of the gross earnings tax in Min
nesota OF the total of 1885,, ,826.S2
raised in taxes by the state in 1903, the
railroads paid not less than $1.971,-
662.67, or 66 per cent of the total. This
amount was paid or the basis OF
per cent gross earnings tax, and the
1904 taxes will be paid on the same
basis. The entire revenues Of the state
for 1903 amounted to $5,267, 437.49, i'm

FROM a Staff Correspondent
NEW ULM, Mimi, Jan. 10.-Will the
prosecution call Asa P. Brooks, the only
man who is supposed to have seen the
murderer of DR.. Gebhard? If the state
is compelled to call him it will have
no right to cross examine a witness
who is expected to testify that he saw
the murderer and that he was not the

Late this afternoon Gen. Childs, for
the state, and Attorney [. L. Brown
for the defense, argued over the point
of law involved. Tomorrow morning
Judge Webber will give his decision.
When Gen. Childs rose in court this
afternoon and stated that the prose-
cution was almost through there was
an unusual stiffness in the room When
he mentioned the name of Asa p.
Brooks the stiffness became more per-
ceptible. He stated that the witness
was expected to testify that he had
seen the murderer of DIR. Gebhard; that
the state produced this witness; that
he might be called by either side or by
the court.

But before the state gave it's reasons
the jury was sent from the room that
it might not hear in the argument any
thing that would tend to prejudice it
against the witness. Gen. Childs' ar
gument was brief, but it was impress
sive. He stated that Asa p. Brooks
had since7the murder made many con-
Trajectory statements and he cited
rulings to show that there was prece-
dent for the states refusal to call such
a witness. Attorney Brown answered
that in justice to the defendant he
should be called by the prosecution;
that SO long as there was such g wit
ness the state had no right to rest it's
case on purely cireunstantial evidence.

The defense offered in support of it's
argument an affidavit sworn to by Asa
