UNJUST TAXATION,

There Is neither equity or common
sense In mortgage tax laws or any
other laws taxing credits. BARRING
the attempt To promote tho public well
fare by unnecessary import duties
they IRE the most unjust and unwise
revenue enactments.
United States bonds are rightly OK
empted from taxation; aud the same
wise exemption should be guaranteed
to all other forms OF credit The
Democrat has often explained how
that the attempt to tax notes, bonds
and mortgages Injuries the borrower
even more than the loauer. Here Is
how the absurdely of the whole prop
osition is forcibly illustrated by d,
X, Tenney Of Madison;
Repeal all laws Attempting to tax
credits Such laws are simply II
means Of rohhing u few honest people.
Every assessor knows II, every citizen
ought to know it, Though always
made taxable by law, credits, whether
represented by book accounts, notes,
or mortgage, are not property Even
II they were, TO equally tax them is an
impossibility and any attempt to do
SO is an ahsurdity, Let me explain
this by imagining an extreme case.
Suppose Il horse worth thousand
dollars, That horse IL assessabl &c
cordingly to the owner on the first
day OF May, Shortly before that day
the owner sells the horse for that
amount and takes the purchaser $
note for 1t. The purchaser sells 1t
again and takes another note, and so
on. A thousand different sales of the
same horse are made and notes given.
All the purchasers are responsible
men and have other good credits due
them, in excess OF their debts. The
first day of May arrives, Here is a
horse assessable ut 81 900 and a
thousand different notes all assessa-
BILE according to present law, IN all a
million dollars. 1t would produce
$4,000. Suppose that on the second

Ex-Goy. Hoard, who headed the
call to President Salisbury OF the
Whitewater Normal school asking
him to stand for election to the state
SUPPLEMENTARY, points out his emil
mint fitness for the Office. He says
that President Salisbury, as a boy,
came up through the district school,
taught In district schools, trained
teachers TO teach In them and for
twenty years has been at the head OF
one OF the most successful Normal
schools In the west. The people want
him to lead the educational forces OF
the whole state for few years.
President Salisbury's election would
be fitting tribute TO well-renouned
life OF public service.

hundred and fifty acres of the most
promising mining land in this vicin-

Policemen and LIQUOR.

The supreme court in IN opinion
fled yesterday, holds that the sense
OF taste of the ordinary policeman of
q Minnesota city is acute enough to
recognize at once Intoxicating liquor.
The case OF the state against Hans
Olson Of Willmar, who WAS charged
with selling liquor without q license,
was decided against the defendant
Olson sold a preparation called "Tan-
to-" put up by q St. Paul concern
It was supposed to be q nou-iutoxi.
eating drink, but the chief of police OF
Wilmar, with one of his assistants,
sampled q bottle which they purchased
of Olson, and declared it was nothing
less than original "booze," disguised
under another name.
Action was brought against Olson
for selling liquor without q license
The defense GAINED that the officers
could not swear to Intoxicating quail.
ties of the liquor simply from tasting
it. The case went to the jury, but the
attorney for Olson objected to having
the bottle sent to the same place.
The lower judge finally decided that
the bottle was an exhibit and should
go to the jury for inspection, as other
exhibits DO; but the jury was for
hidden to taste the beverage. The
G use was decided against o son and
he appealed to the supreme court.
The principal assignment of error
was that the police officers were not
able to decide az to the Intoxicating
qualities of the beverage. The su
preme court says:
lit requires no great stretch of in
telligence and is certainly not beyond
the capacity of the ordinary police
man of our municipalities to recognize
intox ic ating LIQUOR by the sense If
taste I"
The case is decided against Olson in
the upper court.
State OF Minnesota vs.. Hans Olson,
appellant,
l. A bottle Of "tanto," so called,
sold at restaurant, was purchased
by q police officer, who with his as
sistant tasted the contents and were
each allowed to state, after having
protested knowledge of It's stimuli tine
attributes, that it was intoxicating,
held not to be error.
2 The bottle Of "tanto" was offer.
ed In evidence, received as an exhibit
and allowed under restrictions not to
taste It's contents to 20 to the jury up
on their retirement, held that the dis
erection of the trial court was not
abused in this respect.
Judgment affirmed. Lovely, J..
Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr.. Olson was found guilty by jury
at the January term of district cour,
and was sentenced to pay q fine oil
$50 and costs, which amounted tc
about sl6, and 30 days, 30 additional
days being imposed In case fine and
costs are not paid. A stay, of exc
cution OF sentence was granted till the
first day of the June term of court
pending an appeal to the supreme
court. but when the time comes the
Tanto dispenser will have to appea,
and satisfy the Judgment, according
to this Lovely decision. d. +
