TAX LAW DISCUSSED.
House judiciary Subcommittee
Hears Arguments

The taxpaying interests were heard
by the house judiciary subcommittee on
taxes and tax laws yesterday, when
chairman j. r. Hickey called meet
ing at his office in the German Amer
lean bank building. A number of mem
Ders Of the legislature not members of
the subcommittee were present and
joined in the discussion Among the
st. Paul men present were DIR. r.
Schlffmann, E.. G.. Rogers and O. H.
O'Neill
Representatives of a number of large
interests participated in the meeting
or the subcommittee, and one of the
polnts brought out was the provision
OF the new code relating to the taxes
on the earnings of the Pullman COM
pany. The law provides a 8 per cent
gross earnings tax on the earnings of
the company in the state, but under
the law the earnings are computed on
tickets sold only between points en-
tfrely within the boundaries of the
state
It is claimed that passengers for
reading to Superior, and for Moorhead
they are routed through to Fargo, thus
escaping the tax. The contention was
that the gross earnings tax should APP
ply to sales Of tickets made in Mime
sofa, without regard to the final destf-
nation of the passenger. Details of the
laws relating to exemptions were con-
sidered. A second hearing will be had
by the subcommittee, and Chairman
Hickey said last night that his COM
mlttee would not be ready to report
to the meeting of the judiciary COM
m1ttee scheduled for today

Editor Describes Demaaoaue

John Temple Graves, editor and pub
Usher Of the Atlanta (Ga-) News, in
lecture on 1.-THE Reign Of the Dena-
gogue." given at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, Dayton and Third
streets, denounced that parsonage as a
many headed monster who preyed upon
the vital strength of the country; as a
crafty and malevolent power that seized
upon every political or national prob
lem confronting the people to turn it
to its own evil advantage. The speaker
decried the cunning that hoodwinked
the strong and browbeat tl1esweak; and
pointed out the far-reaching and
strength-sappfng influence that was
corrupting the government of the land.

POLICE COURT LOSES
If CODE IS PASSED
St. Paul Officials Explain Situation to
House judiciary Committee

Judge John w. Finehout, Municipal
Clerk George F. Dix and a number of
other st. Paul officials met with mem
bers of the house judiciary committee
Yesterday and discussed the effect of
the new statute revision code on the
laws relating to the conduct Of the
municipal courts of the state. The ST.
Paul municipal court is placed on a
justice court basis. The cost of bring
ing a civil action in the court is in
creased from $1.50 to $3.50. The civil
branch is put on. a fee basis, the fees
being diverted to the city treasury in
stead OF to pay the expenses of the
court. Under the new. code the state
will have to pay witnesses, both for the
state and the defense. Under the pres
ent plan the municipal court earns
$4,000 above it's expenses, and it is
claimed that the new code will result
in a large deficit. The laws relating to
an appeal from the municipal to the
supreme court are claimed to be cum
bersome and that it would take months
to perfect an appeal
