HOSTILITY SHOWN
BY The LEADERS
Attack on President S Rate Policy
Followed by Rebuff in
Canal Matters.
Lanes Nomination for Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Is
Held Up.

Special to The journal. =
Chicago, Dec. 12.-Walter Wellman,

Herald says:
Friction between the Roosevelt. adj
ministration and the republican lead
ers in the senate became more than
ever apparent today. These two wings
ton seem to be drifting apart and no
one can foreCee the outcome.
President Roosevelt is seriously dis
satisfied because senators are holding
up his nomination of Mr.. Lane OF Cali
forniat to be a member Of the interstate
commerce commission. The president
knows he cannot force the senate to
confirm a nomination, but he does think
he and Mr.. Lane are entitled to a vote
and not to be kept hanging in midair.
In administration circles the opposition
to Lane is ascribed to railroad influence
in the upper branch.
Rate Question Up.
On the floor. of the senate yesterday
afternoon the railroad-rate question was
unexpected ly precipitated and there
followed a most interesting debate, in
the course of which the constitutional
power Of congress to delegate the rate
making power was seriously questioned

constitutional discussion it will go on

the state.
When it comes to question Of fact,
the attorney general has arrived at the
valuation Of the company in somewhat
this manner. The purchase Of live
stock by Swift & Co. at South St. Paul
III 1904 amounted to $l2,000,000, from
which it is figured that the volume Of
Minnesota business, including a percent
age for profits, and added value due to
expenses and charges Of various kinds,
comes to approxiimately $25,0o0,ooo. The
was 2OO,O0O,O0O. Consequently one
eighth of the company IS capital must be
employed in Minnesota. The present
capital stock of the company is $780,
100000. and there are bonds out to the
value of $5,000,000, making $4,000, 900
Of capital invested in the company IS
property as q whole. The Minnesota
company Is now assessed at South st.
Paul to the amount Of $177, 112 for per-
sonal property and 1915 900 for real
estate, a total Of $394O12. The differ
ence between this total and $5,000,000
represents the alleged value Of the In
tangible assets of the company in Min
nesota, franchise and 'tunion in use''
value. This difference, $4,605,O0O, if
reduced to about one third, as other
property is in Dakota county, would
mean an increased taxable value Of a
million and half, which would bring
approximately $45, 700 in taxes.

Officers Cited to Give Reasons
Against a Five Million Dollar
Valuation.

The first legal step to reach the in
tangible property Of foreign corpora
lions for taxation in Minnesota was
made today. p. A. Hoffman, county
auditor of Dakota county, issued an
order to the Minnesota officers of
Swift & Co., at South st. Paul, calling
on them to show cause why their assess
.ment should not be raised from 1884,
OLE to $5,000,000.
The order is returnable Saturday,
when the packing company's attorneys
will doubtless appear and deny the anY
.thority of the state to tax anything
beyond the taxable property OF the
company.

luton drawn by Attorney General
Young and passed by the state board
of equalization in September, recon-
mending that the proper county audit

foreign corporations doing business in

a contest to reach all such companies

The papers were served by George
T. Simpson, assistant attorney general,
who, with County Attorney William

Interesting indeed are these mathematical

they impress is important to all and par
ticularly important to two widely separated
classes in the community, viz: The Business

food for thought if not for alarm. Looked
at from the standpoint of nationaities, these H
two classes are marked the special victims

The first sign of failing health is failing beauty
since beauty is only the external proof of health.
The strain is as great with her as with the man.
and the victims nearly many.
Before proceeding to give the proper daily regime
of business mans life word must be said
generally to worry Worry as well as hurry is
the great evil of the day. The former may be a
necessary result of the latter, and worry in it's
last analysis may be merely the reflection of an
healthy physical state; but it is an evil in itself
which should be fought against especially. Nothing

then alter the circumstances. If your business

diminish them to a rational amount. You must

In England he retires from business at fifty.
He thenceforth takes only mild supervisory

out of all proportion to his feet, and
hampered his movements greatly. He
was continually taking headers, but

ALFONSO AND HIS MOTOR CAR.
King of Spain Badly Afflicted With
the Craze

tnc STdZe.
Jerome Hart tells of the enthusiasm
shown by King Alphonso CT Spain for
the automobile "He l. affected with
an acute case of motormania. He
spends most of his time, both at Ma.
Grid and at San Sebastian, in wildly
careering across the country in motor
cars. He owns several high-power
French automobiles, and when in
them, like Jehu the son of Nimshi,
he driveth fast and furiously. In fact,
so reckless is his driving, so numerous
are his accidents, that the queen moth
er recently became alarmed and urged
him to abandon his dangerous sport.
Failing in this, she got member Of
the cortes to father law imposing
limitations on the kings speed. This
did not mean limitations as to speed
on the kings highway-it meant limi-
tations on the speed of the king on the
kings highway. But this projected
law aroused the indignation of some
courtly legislators in the cortes. and
they opposed it bitterly. The king,
tEey said, is above the law, therefore,
to pass laws leveled at the king would
be against the law. Before this puzzle
the perplexed cortes recoiled and the
law was not passed.
"The young king only recently sue.
ceeded in so far overcoming the queen
mothers repugnance to motor cars
that he persuaded her to accompany
him in little drive. 1t was unfortu-
nate that on her first experiment with
him as a motorist the king should
have had one of his frequent mishaps.
But he did. He came cropper, and
ii was royal cropper.
His enormous machine, going at
high speed, skidded and capsized, hurl-
ing it's royal freight some distance
into a ditch. The queen-mother was
badly scared, her royal feathers and
royal temper were much rumpled, but
otherwise she was unhurt."
