DISTRESS WARRANTS NEXT

sons Who Refuse TO Pay
Taxes.

County Treasurer Fink is sending no.
tees 20 people who have not paid their
personal taxes notifying them they are
delinquent and that II the tax is not paid
before February l., distress warrants may
issue against them.
Mr.. Fink says never In the history OF
the ONCE have personal taxes been paid
up as closely as for 1904. The books bear
out this statement, for where In previous
years but a few names on each page
would have the word paid" marked OPP
posite, this year there are only from three
10 ak or seven names ON each page not
so marked at this time. The promise
is that the number Of distress warrants
win be very few.

In discussing the soundness of the com

named In the transfer for a basis for fixing
the value of real estate Mr. Curtis said:
"A special investigation was made after
the board had done its work by Prof. T.
s. Adams of the University of Wisconsin,
of four counties, including Milwaukee,
which contains one-ffth of the valuation
OF the state. The sales for five years were
included The calculation of the board gave
the valuation at $S6S 600 In round num-
bers Mr.. Adams took our own figures and
discovered a mistake which. when cor
rected, made the total valuation $50. 900 900
After eliminating all bad sales he reported
the valuation at 1856. 900 600 or ~ per cent
greater than our calculation, Forty per
cent of the sales we used in our calculations
were improper, but the tendency TO place
higher figure in the transfer was about
equaled by the tendency 10 put in a lower
figure. so the difference was only, ~ per
cent. We are more apt to make an assess
msnt too low than too high"

On cross-examination OF the witnesses
from out in the state Attorney General
Brown insisted they should give some ex-

undervalued. For examples, E. r. Good

property in which Attorney Wilcox was

TWO YEARS OF FINANCE
STATE TREAsURER BLOCK ISSUES
HIS BIENNIAL REPORT AND
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS.

State Treasurer Block has transmitted
his biennial report to the legislature.
He makes several recommendation for
legislative action. One of the most I'M
portant relates to the payment Of appro-
priations for school aid. The present
margin allowed between tax levies and
collections on the one hand, and legisla-
tive appropriations on the other, is
$S50,000. This did not prove sufficient
last year, and the treasury was pinched
in paying the large school aid bounties:
Mr.. Block suggests that the payment OF
this school aid be deferred from October
and November, and be made in January
or February, after the railroad tax col
lections are in.
Another recommendation is for an
amendment to the law providing for
cashing warrants. Under a strict in
depreciation, the state must issue sep
arate check for each warrant as it is
presented. In practice, the warrants are
cashed at the banks, and a hundred may
be presented at once by a single bank
One check is really issued to meet them
all, but this is in violation of the law
, as it now stands.
| A law is asked for making it neces
sary to compare the accounts of the au
ditOr and treasurer once q year. An
other is suggested permitting deposits IL
banks to the full amount of their surety
bonds. 49,
ending July 81, 1904, were SO, 439, 55O.74
and the balance on hand was $l.462,
635.53. H.
The entire outstanding debt of thu
state, with the exception Of 1000, il
held by the different state funds.

J. F, JACOBSON PROTESTS
Doesn't Like What Governor Johnson
Said About Board of Control.

J. F. Jacobson of the state board Of
control, thinks that Governor John H.
johnson could not have read over the
board of control law carefully before
he prepared that portion Of his message
which relates to the board.
'The inference that the records Of
the board of control are not open to
rightful inspection and to examination
by the public examiner is not correct,'
said J. F. jacobson. "His recommen-
dalton that the law be amended to give
the public examiner access to our books
is entirely unnecessary, to say the least.
When the board was created, the law
gave the public examiner the right to
examine our accounts. This feature is
as old as the board itself.
GAS to the letting Of contracts in
secret.,' there never has been any secret
contract entered into by the board. All
our contracts are open to investigation
and scrutiny by the proper authorities.
It seems to me rather useless to make
recommendations to the legislature for
things provided for by law four years
ago.

"SHERM" SMITH EXPLAINS
HE SAYS HE WAS REALLY AND
TRULY FOR NoRTHRoP FOR
SENATOR.

Sherman s. Smith defends his action
in voting for President Cyrus Northrop
for the senate, and says that he was
really and truly for the head Of the
university. Said he yesterday:
II was on the square in advocating
Dr. Northrop. He is the avery kind of 9
man on whom Hennepin county could
unite. Was he candidate9 I don It
know. 1t doesn It make any particular
difference. If he had been offered the
senatorship, he would have taken it,
wouldn't he, to round out his career9
I believe that Wyman, who brought out
Gilfllan, didn't want Northrop in the
field, because he had good hope that
when Gilfllan got thru he would be the
residuary legatee Of the Gilfllan
strength.
"Let me tell you something about
that caucus call. I offered the Gillian
people my services to carry around a
counter call, fixing the date Of the caucus
the 10th or 18th, which I believe l
could have gotten signed by, enough
members to block the other call. After
consultation, they decided that it
wasn't advisable. Then I urged that
Hennepin county sign the CALL go to the
caucus and try to adjourn it without &C
ton, and this, too, was deemed mot
advisable. OF course, the members
signed the Clapp call when they had
nothing else before them.'

have her own rooms, and find out what
real privacy means.
The fund for such house was formed
by a generous friend with donation OF
$1,000 Last week sale Of cakes and
fancy goods was held and large sum
was cleared.
The present quarters, in Fourteenth
street, is the third home the Cooperate
has occupied. The home was founded IN
DID,, who was pastor of church. in
Eighteenth street. It came into exist
ence because DR.. Wilson once tried to
find a home for young girl, IN every
way worthy, but whose salary OF So q
week was not sufficient to obtain food
and shelter in any respectable boarding
house. He found plenty of homes for
girls who were trying to earn an honest
living.
| In this emergency he secured base:
ment and started his home with foul
beds. Mrs. j. Taylor Brown, now the
president of the association, together
with several other ladies of Mr.. Will
son 3 congregation, entered into the
plan. Mrs; Brown and her assistants
secured bedding and other furniture
from their own homes, and made the
place comfortable for the inmates. The
beginning of the home was modest. A
| the girls did the necessary housework
it was called the "Co-operato, and in
corporated under that name.
The only requirement for admission
was a good reference as to character
regardless of creed. The number of ap
plicants soon outgrew the accommoda
tions and larger quarters were foun'
in a fiat. ~. -, 50.
| At that time John S. Huyler becam

William T. Wardwell became q subscrib

tributors. .,...> ....s.
In 1895 the ."Co-operato' moved t

: lions for forty. Girls receiving salarie
, of from 81 to 81 a week are asked fro1
{ $3.50 to $3.50 a week for board and lods
!. ing. This includes a comfortable be
. and three meals day. If the girl

up for her, so that she is under no extr
expense for food. If girls salary
advanced to over 81 she is obliged
leave to make way for the less fortunat
as there is always waiting list.
