for Overlooked Taxes.

PIERRE: S: D.-Last summer Insurance Com
missioner Perkins discovered that the hail de-
partment of the ST. Paul Fire & Marine In
surance company had never paid taxes in the
state on that class of business. He called the
matter to the companys attention and pre-
sented them with a bill for SS,610.99 the
amount due from the date of statehood to the
close of business for last year.
The officers of the company at first took the
position that they were >1ly liable for taxes
for the last year, no demand had ever been
made for prior taxes. The commissioner could
not see the matter in that light and carried
the case to Attorney General Hall. The legal
officers of the company then put on the

mitted Saturday evening the insurance depart
ment received a draft from the company for
the full amount, which has been turned into the

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action Of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. It is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles Of i'm

Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

MAIL SERVICE TO
COST Sl93,OO0,000.
Actual Cost to the People Last
Year, However, Was
$14,oo0,0oo. ~

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Postmaster
General Cortel you has competed and for
warded to the secretary OF the treasury
the estimates for the postoffice depart
ment for the fiscal year, ending June oo,
1907. They show a reduction OF eX-
penses wherever it is believed 1t will
not impair the service, but provision for
development Of postal facilities to meet
the growing needs of all sections OF the
country.
The estimates for the postal service
at large-the field servlce-aggregate
$l93 100000. an increase over last
years appropriation of about 12,OOO,-
900. This increase represents the nor
NAL growth of the service based upon
what the postal authorities regard as
the most careful and conservative est1-
mates. Each succeeding year sees a
large increase in the business Of the
department.
The principal items in the increase
are the rural delivery service, railway
mail service, compensation to postmas-
ters and their clerks, and the compensa-
tion of letter carriers.
For the maintenance Of the rural de-
livery service and it's proper extension
is an increase Of $3,6OO,O0O over the
appropriation for the current year,
which in turn is over $5,OoO,00o more
than that Of last year 50 that the pres
ent estimate is $l,400,000 less than the
increase Of the present over the pre-
ceding year.
That the extension of pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown
by the fact that the estimate carries
$322,000 more than the current appro
priation.
The deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1905, was $14,572,584 This
amount, the difference between the ex
penditures and the revenues Of the de-
.partment, it is officially announced
''may be said to represent the actua
cost of the postal service to the peo
ple.'
If recent calculations are as accurate
as they have been in the past they af
ford good reason for believing that the
deficit for the year ending June 80
1906, will be considerably less. 1t il
an interesting fact that the total reve
nue. for the fiscal year 1905 exceeded
the total expenditures for the fsca
year 1904, by nearly $500,0OO

New York, Nov. 21.-After long
and, at times, acrimonious discussion,
and by an overwhelming vote, the in
terchurch conference on federation, in
session in Carnegie hall, has adopted
plan Of federation which excludes the
Unitarians and the Universalists, altho
admitting about thirty other denom-
nations. This was done by making the
foundation of the federation belief in
the divinity of Jesus Christ.
The only protest came from Profess

dent of the Rhode Island federation of
churches, which admits both Unitarians
and Universalists. He made an ear
nest plea for a more liberal plan, but
his object was voted down.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
Several Forces Arraigned Against Sea-

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Nov. 21.-Walter Wellman,
in Washington special to the Record
Herald. says:
Tremendous opposition to the pro-
posed sea-level sanal has arisen. It is
already apparent that congress is not
likely to be satisfied with the recommen-
dation Of the board of engineer and that
!. it will insist upon a thoro invest stigatiOn
of the whole subject. Many senators
and representatives express the opinion
that congress will never authorize or
make appropriations for the tidewater
channel recommended by majority of
the engineers.
President Roosevelt's attitude is
known. He is surprised and disap-
pointed at the report Of the board, and
essary to exact the most complete dem
onstration of the superiority Of the So
called sea-level canal with tide locks)
before accepting it.
Shonts Disguised.
Chairman Shonts Of the canal com
mission is said to be much disgusted at
classed among those who will use their
influence to prevent the adoption Of the
tidewater type on the ground that such
canal will take more money and time
and not be as good canal when fin
ished.
Chairman Shonts has cabled Chief En-
gineer Stevens to come immediately tC
-" Washington. and has a reply that Mr.
Stevens will start on Thursday. The
chief engineer is expected to advocate

1t is considered certain that botl
houses Of congress will order careful
investigation of the problem of type
and the many American engineers wht
favor lock canal at one level or anothe
will be given a chance to exploit thei
views
1t is confidently predicted by the ad
~vocates of lock canal that If congress
will give them a chance they can dem
onstrate beyond peradventure, not onl,
that their plan is economical in time an
money, but that it will actually pro
duce the superior canal in the end.

Labor Should Be Interested.

Provision should be made to interest
labor in ownership. The securities is
sued on account of increased value
should be issued only as the increase is
shown, not by prediction or expectation,
but by such experience as proves the
fact, and provision should be made that
such securities may be divided equitably
between the capital invested and the
labor put in, and expedients be adopted
to encourage corporations formed on
that basis.
"The corporation being trustee for it's
owners, the government must be given
opportunity to exercise a constant watch
that the trust is executed. Under su-
pervision, something like the watch the
government holds over the national
banks-seeing to it that financial con-
ditions are always correctly reported,
that no capability Of the corporation is
diverted to private gain, and that trans
gressions meet with swift punishment
personal schemes would be reduced to a
minimum. And what is more, corporate
activity. would be lifted to a higher
plane OF personal and moral response
bility. Under such supervision, too,
public utility corporations, deriving
their existence from the United States,
could be made to obey those laws that
look to the giving of equal opportunity
by the government for any form Of dis
elimination or favoritism, not simply
by a fine, but by possession taken by the
government as the government now
takes possession of recusant national
banks, and such possession continued
until the corporation was brought to
obey the law.
A Government Exchange.
"Provision should be made for a
government exchange, or private eX-
change under government supervision,
thru which the securities of national
corporations could be bought and sold.
In this way would be drawn distinctly
visible line between the securities OF
national corporations and securities in
corporations that refuse to nationallze
"a line that would soon be understood
as the boundary between corporations
that were willing to be faithful trus-
tees Of the owners, faithful at the same
time to their duties to the people, and
corporations that had inner and ute
rior designs. My own opinion is that
this distinct differentiation Of the ma
tional from the hybrid corporation
| would in time lead every corporation
engaged in Interstate commerce volun-
tarily to incorporate under the national
! law
The practical question is: When will
some party set out upon this movement
With the cloud that already hangs over
the horizon scanned and streaked with
flashes Of peoples inlpatience, that
