Miss Josie Larson came over
from Walnut Grove early last week
and spent several days with her
sister, Miss Fannie Larson, and
with the families of l.. P. Larson
and j. A. Johnson.
Col. j. M. Thompson of Belyiew
passed through town last Friday
en- route for Rochester. Jesse was
at peace with the world-happy as
man could be. For three days be-
fore another heir was born into his
family, the fifth child, but the first
boy, and the fact that the babe will
some day wear boys clothes is what
tlckled the big-hearted banker and
real-estate dealer of Belview.
Otto E. Dornberg is running the
lumber yard at Clements this week.
On his return from that town he
will leave here for Palouse, Wash
ington, where he will take charge
OF the lumber yard of the Pot Latch

carnival broke loose and the ''fel-
lows were bound to scatter the
over the street. Charlie
was kept chasing around the COR
ners of the arch until after 2 OF clock
and when the carnival rustlers left
for home he insisted that his pur-
chase gave him wild chase.

THE LAWYER SENATE.

Another burlesque seems to have
been perpetuated upon the public
in an attempt to get an inheritance
tax law upon the statute books-a
law that would stand test of the
supreme court.
For number of years past at
tempts have been made to secure
the enactment of a law taxing in
heritances. Those passed would
not stand the test. At the 1908
session the senate deliberately
killed what is known as the Heilli-
we'll bill.
At the last session Hon. Ward
Stone of Morris introduced bill
seeking to tax these inheritances.
Mr.. Stone is layman but the bill
was prepared by one of the best at
torneys in the state, and was guar
anteed constitutional. Every mem
Der of the house judiciary committee
was of the opinion that the law
would stand the test.
The bill passed the house and was
sent to the senate. There, in order
the bill was sent to the senate judi
ciary committee, of which Mr.. Som
erville, senator from Brown coun-
ty was chairman. That committee
The Redwood gazette., 1905-10-04

struck out all after the enacting
clause and inserted in lieu thereof,
entirely new matter, alleged to have
been prepared by the Brown coun-
ty senator. The bill was reported
out and passed by the senate and
then returned to the house for the
repassage, as amended. Before Mr..
Stone called up the message and
moved concurrence in the senate
amendment he received the positive
assurance of number of the senate
attorneys that the bill, as amended,
was constitutional, and Mr.. Stone
so announced on the floor of the
house.
The bill passed and received the
governors signature. Within the
past four weeks two judges of pro-
bate and one district judge have
officiallyalpronounced the law un-
constitutional and if the supreme
court comedies with this view the
state will be robbed of at least
$500, 1000 taxes on inheritances-a
tax most equitable and just.
In the light of this experience we
are forced to inquire whether the
word of these senatorial attorneys
is to count forE much in the future?
These senators are among the best
attorneys in the state, and ought to
know, better than anyone else, when
a thing is right or wrong. That
they have repeatedly passed un-
constitutional bills, or defeated the
constitutional measures, would in
dicate some motive in their mad
ness, and that the more laymen-
business men or farmers-sent to
the toga branch of the legislature
will be the better for the whole
people.

shows soreness characteristic of

shows a soreness characteristic OF
corporate greed.
Through it's agent here an at
tempt was made to have the com
pany assist in transporting the
Banvard family from Chicago. The
agent reported a sharp refusal.
Then an attempt was made to
have the trains so run from Sleepy
Eye to this city during the three
days of the fair so that people along
the line could come up in the morn
ing and return in the evening.
Again came refusal.
But the North western agent at
Marshall, where a counter attrac-
tion was held, could get most any,
thing. His company ran a special
excursion from Wabasso, in Red
wood county, to Marshall, each
day, holding trains until the show
was over.
The discrimination is plainly ap-
parent. The Great Northern forces
the Northwestern to be good at
Marshall, and if the business men
here would hunch some of their
freight over the ST. Louis, the
North western might be prevailed
upon to be good here.
In the meantime if Marshall or
any other town in the state has
equalled Redwood Falls free at
fractions of last week we have vet
to hear of it.

Gov. Johnson-Day announces his
displeasure over the cane rush at

would be still more displeased if he
ever got mixed up with the bows in
a rush, although it is likely that he
would cease playing politics after
being in one of these events.

Something not yet brought to the

Another OF the parties who was in
dueed TO sign an application for the
purchase OF school land in klamath
county. in connection with the Puter
land conspiracy against the state, as
published IN the Statesman in detail
yesterday morning. became frightened
nj the predicament in which he found
himself yesterday morning. when he
found that the whole deal had been
himself to State Land Agent West to
make a full confession of his part in
the transaction, says the Salem
Statesman. This person was r. Nc
Farland. He was taken before ]. H.

~ attorney general. who took hfs
deposition His statement shed no
new light upon the affair except that
he claims that the $50 was paid to
him as q guarantee that he would
receive his one-tenth interest in the
property. but stated that he expected

This is practically the only new
feature in the sensational affair which
occurred in the state house yesterday.

sistance of the latter and the sigma
lures of nine local persons. attempt
ed TO secure title to 2ss0 acres of
school land in klamath county
through alleged fraudulent means.
Another feature of the deal was
that some of the parties who had
signed the applications thought they
could run a bluff upon the state land
officials went to the state house yes
terday and demanded certificates of
sale to the land for the purchase of
which they applied or the return of
their drafts.
Their little game was played, how
ever. when the state land agent asked
then II they were willing to make af-
fidavit that the money was theirs

the situation to them and they re-
spectfully declined to take any such
oath. Had they done so and the drafts
been turned over to them they could
not have realized upon them and
would only have gotten into deeper

CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD ON JUNE II
PEOPLE OF THE STATE WHO ARE
INTERESTED IN IMMIGRATION
WILL MEET HERE AND DISCUSS
WAYS AND MEANS.

The immigration conference which will
assemble In the Commercial club rooms
In this city at IL o'clock June 13 will
possibly be one of the most representa-
tive bodies of public men that ever gath
cred in the state of Alabama to consider
proposition of such wide scope and
Importance to the state.
This conference Is the result of a mere
suggestion made in a conversation be-
tween two of the most prominent public
men of the state, but In less than two
months the mere suggestion has grown
into a state movement
There will be representative men from
every section of the state In attendance
at this conference, and a movement for
more and better immigration to the state
viii no doubt be started that will be of
vast benefit to Alabama
Governor Jelks has expressed his In
tention of attending the conference IL
business does not detain him. This move
ment looking to the encouragement of
immigration has attracted attention out
side of the state.
f. M. Jackson, late president of the
Commercial club, issued the call for the
meeting and the responses to letters sent
out have been very encouraging.

OF THE MAYORS MESSAGE

Before any of the standing committees
of the City Council reported last night
the Mayor requested City Clerk Murray
to read the following message:
TO the Board of Aldermen. Birming-
ham, Ala.
"Gentlemen-Attention is called to the
duty resting on the board and its power
to require corporations which have OBJ
tanned consent to deal with the public
to furnish reasonable and satisfactory
service at all times
Reference is herewith made:
First to our telephone service and
the indifference shown by each company
to complaints of subscribers
Second, to the habit of the street
railway company of keeping most of its
cars in the barn, except during the busy
hours of morning and evening.
ut is the intent of public service cor
porations to reduce operating expense
always, but this reduction should never
be permitted at the expense of public
convenience.
individual complaints are generally
ignored. hence it is the proper function
of this council to receive same from the
people and see that they have proper
attention.
1.-THE people of Birmingham are here
with given notice that all written COM
munications signed and containing spe-
cihc complaints will be referred to the
proper committee and Will receive due
consideration Respectfully,
GEORGE B. WARD, Mayor"
