There are three towns that raise
over 81, 900 in taxes for revenue, road
and bridge and delinquent land road
funds. These towns are Milaca, Page
and Robbins. Four other towns,
Bogus Brook, Borgholm, Greenbush
and Onamia raise nearly $1,000 for
these funds, but Greenbush, Bogus
Brook and Borgholm have high valu-
ations and the tax rate is low in COM
parison with other towns. Green
bush has the lowest town tax, which
is only five and one-half mills, and
the town Of South Harbor has the
highest tax which amounts to thirteen
mills. Onamia pays tax of four and
two-tenths mills on State loan while
South Harbor pays a tax of three and
nine-tenths mills for the same pur-
pose.
The town taxes are as as follows:

Has the Brain Reached its Limit i:

One of the leading magazines re-
Gently published an article to the
effect that the human brain had
reached the limit of it's development;
that is, that the bodily tissue in the
brain is under as much strain as it
can stand. This hardly seems logical
as the development along every line
is simplifying methods, rather than
confusing them, and we are learning
to think more clearly, live better and
work harder with less effort. Golden
grain belt beer thus has definite use
to rest the mind and body and make
their work lighter. That it does this
hundreds will testify. Order of your

The Reason for the Decision.

Inc supreme court last week filed its
formal decision in the petition of
Frank: A.'Day, as chairman of the
Democratic State central committee,
for an order directing the secretary of
State to place the word Democrat y
after the name of Justice Calvin L.
Brown on the official State ballot.
The order granting this petition was
filed before election and the ballot was
so printed. The reasons for the Or
der are stated in the memorandum. 49,
The court holds in a decision signed
by Judge Brill OF St. Paul, who was
one of the three judges of the district
court called in to decide the case, that
the statute prohibiting candidate
from receiving the nomination of more
than one party is void.
It violates the provisions of Sec
ton q of article of the State consti-
tuition, which says: "No law shall
embrace more than one subject, which
shall be expressed in it's title.'' The
statute in question, chapter 312 of the
laws of l9Ol,is entitled san act relating
to the names of political parties on
the official ballot.'' This does not
cover the provisions of the statute
which follow.
Booze Fighters are Being Fired From n.
p. Service.
Some of the employees of the North
ern Pacific have been brought to a
realization of the fact that the anti
liquor order issued few months ago
is not a bluff, but will be enforced
A recent press dispatch says: ''The
stringent anti-liquor rule that has
been put into effect on the Montana
division of the Northern Pacific had
it's first demonstration. Three engin-
GERS, eighty fremen, two civil engi-
neers and several foremen and yard
masters were summarily discharged
for drinking. It is the declared pur-
pose of the Northern Pacific to rid
it's roll of every man who is addicted
to strong drink to any degree. The
headquarters of the road in St. Paul
will not give out any names, but it is
freely stated that the next batch of
employees to feel the ak will be in the
passenger department. "-Aitkin Age.

The Norwegian Problem.

Mr.. Chamberlain, T h J our a g
staff correspondent in Scandinavia, dis
cusses today in an exceedingly interest
ing way the question whether Norway
shall remain a monarchy or become a
republic. The well-known democratic
spirit Of the Norwegian people has led
to the presumption on the part of many
not thoroly acquainted with the situa-
ton that the ultimate outcome would
certainly be a republic. There are con-
sluerations of Importance to Norway as
state which cause feeling of hest
tation even among those naturally in
clined toward republican form of gov
eminent. Norway must live among and
maintain friendly relations with the
nations of Europe. Most Of them are
monarchies. They do not look with
favor upon the establishment Of another
republic in Europe. The new govern
ment of Norway will no doubt receive
more cordial recognition by the other
nations if it asks for it as a monarchy
than as a republic. However, that is
only one Of the considerations to be
taken into account in the solution of
the problems now before the Norwegian
people. The various interests to be re
garded and the views of the leaders are
interestingly set forth today in Mr.
Chamberlain $ first letter from Chris
tiania.

foundation. The act to regulate COM
merce required that carriers shall pub
lish the rates under which their traffic
is moved. It has been insisted in some
sections Of. the country that this re-
quirement did not apply to import and
export business.
In the spring Of 1904 the commits
sion undertook an investigation for the
purpose of ascertaining to what extent
export and import tariffs were fled and
observed. AS a result Of that investi-
cation, it expressed the opinion that
the statute in it's present form required
the publication of these schedules; but
it expressed the further opinion that
this requirement might in some in
stances operate with undue severity,
and it said that it would not, for the
present, make any attempt, to enforce
this provision of law, in order that the
carriers might have an opportunity fol-
some amendment of the statute. In.
stead, therefore, of making some re-
quirement which has interfered with
Mr.. Hills export rate on flour, the
commission has expressly refraine6
from enforcing the law in that respect
in order that his operations might moi
be interfered WITH
We are inclined to think that Mr.
Hill is mistaken, but we are inclined
to think that he ought not to be any
more.

Art SCHOOL EXPANDING
MIR. KoEHLER TO HAVE ASSIST
ANT, AND DEPARTMENT OF
ARCHITECTURE MAY BE ADDED.

This is a period of much activity in
artistic affairs. and plans are being
made with a view to greatly strength
ening and broadening the work of the
Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. The
executive committee of the Minneapolis
Society of Fine Arts was authorized at
the close of the school year to secure
an assistant to Mr.. Koehler, and the
committee is now about. to choose be-
tween two candidates, heth Of whom
are young men of much ability and
promise. The decision will be made
soon preparatory to the opening Of the
school.
The last issue of the Bulletin pub.
llshed by the art society announces
change of schedule of the school, which
will open this year Oct. 2 and close
May 81, the year being divided into
three terms. A strong effort is being
made to secure additional space for the
school by finishing off portion Of the
fourth floor of the new wing of the
quarters of the school. In order to
do this special arrangements have to
be made for heating, but there is a
prospect that this may be done. If
/ the room is secured a department of
architecture will be established under
the instruction of Edwin H Hewitt Of
the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Mr.. Hewitt,
who returned last year from Paris, has
decided to remain in Minneapolis per-
manently and has exceptional equip
ment for this work for which there is
great need. The addition of this de.
partment will insure a course in per-
spective, which is much needed by all

be obtained as to one when it could
not in the case Of the other.
But still greater probability that
the differences would be adjusted and
the strike avoided if the roads were
under separate management lies in the
fact that neither one would be inclined
to endure the embarrassment and loss
incidental to a strike if its competitor
were not subject to the same hard
ships. Under separate management
competition and rivalry would create
reasons for an amicable settlement with
the telegraphers which do not now
exist.
The merger can be credited with
having produced a great deal stronger
disposition on the part of the railroad
companies to disregard the demands of
their employees than they would be
likely to manifest if the roads were
under separate and competing manage
ment. The employees have not always
been willing to recognize the merger
as other than good thing for them
They may see reasons now for realiz.
ing that it is not a good thing fol
them.

The Strike and the Merger.

One of the beauties Of the merger
somes out in connection with this
strike Of the telegraphers on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads. The telegraphers have left their
keys and both roads, with all their
branches, are embarrassed in the han
ding of their business. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific being
under the same management, it natur-
ally follows that strike on one should
involve the other. IF they were not
under the same management and con-
troll it would not SO naturally follow
that the strike should cover both roads.
There would be a chance that even if
the operators on both roads were max
ing demands at the same time, both
roads would not treat those demands
exactly alike, and a settlement might
