At the close of the fiscal year, July
3lst, there was a deficit of almost half
a million in the State revenue fund,
and by the end of the next fiscal year
the deficit will be swelled to three or
four times that amount. How could it
be otherwise? The legislature made
lavish appropriations and increased
salaries right and left; the head of al
most every department. of the State
government demanded an additional
appropriation and received it, and
dozens of supernumeraries we're placed
on the pay rolls. Even if the rail-
roads should pay the four per cent
tax the tax levy for State revenue pur-
poses will have to be increased from
fifty to one hundred per cent by the
next legislature. In the meantime
the State will borrow money from the
banks borrow it illegally-at high
rate of interest. Brilliant fnanciering.

The life insurance policy is begin
ming to look like a very unsafe invest
ment. Day by day the rottenness Of
the big insurance companies is ex-
posed to public view and combina-
tions of grating stockholders brought
to light where no one even suspected
that they existed. The latest and
perhaps the equal of the Equitable
in corruptive methodist court con-
demnation is the Mutual Reserve life
insurance company of New York,
which has padded it's surplus to the
extent of 100000 and has concealed
the existence of 1882, 767 in judgments
overhanging it by the Justification of
it's books. Were examiners less lax
in the performance of their duties this
condition of affairs would hardly be
possible of existence, but, as it is. un-
scrupulous directors of insurance
companies are afforded every oppor-
tunity for the prosecution of their
illegitimate business.

Gov. johnson has changed his mind
on the drainage proposition. At the
CrOokston convention on Tuesday he
is reported as saying that he would
urge the next legislature to make lib
eral appropriations for the drainage
of State lands, that it was purely a
business proposition, etc. Last fall
Gov. Johnson sang different song.
He told the people of southern Min
nesota that if they drained their wet
lands they did it at their own expense.
but Mr.. Dunn wanted the State to paw
for the drainage of lands in northern
Minnesota. He conveyed to his audi
ences the impression that Mr.. Dunn
favored the drainage of private lands
at the expense of the State, and that
he was opposed to such a proposition.
He knew, or ought to have known,
that the people of northern Minnesota
simply desired the State to drain and
reclaim it's own swamp lands.

Why should the State board of If

Why should the State board of in
vestment dispose Of the State of Vir-
ginia bonds in which almost two mill
ion dollars of the permanent school
and permanent university funds are
invested? The Virginias are a safe
investment and net the funds three
per cent. If the board of investment
is bound to dispose of the Virginias
they should not be sold for less than
their par value. It would be a mis-.
take to dispose of the Virginia bonds,
and it would be a crime to sell them
for a fraction of a mill less than their
face value.

The threatened boycott of American
goods by the Chinese is proving to be

ity. While it has been agreed among
Chinese merchants that existing con-
tracts with Americans for supplies
shall be lived up to, the shopkeepers
are refusing to sell goods imported
from this country and the schools to
handle American books. The ban has
also been placed upon American banks
and Standard oil. To lose the trade
of China would mean considerable to
this country, and it is therefore up to
congress to devise means OF removing
or ameliorating the conditions which
have brought this boycott about.

College With q Future.

for the foregoing statement.

ideals, that has good location and
a definite mission may receive it's
share of Mr.. Rockefeller's Gift.

pecially the out-of-date-college, ac-
cording to President Harper, will not
be assisted.
