Tax Ferret Law.

The bill introduced in the house
to reduce the delinquent fax penalty
to one half of One per cent a month
will propably meet with breakers be-
fore it goes very far. That is getting
back to the old rate where heavy tax
payers found that they could let their
taxes run. and loan their money at
q higher rate OF interest than the
penalty, and would not pay until
they had to. Under the present cN-
isting rate of n per cent a month,
there is no profit to them in allowing
their taxes to run, and they pay up.
The tax ferret bill passed by the
house was the first move Of that
kind eve made in the legislature of
the state which was not taught by
the farmer members as a measure to
allow men to come prying into their
private affairs. Several slch meas
ures have been up IN the past SEES
siors. and have always met that
fate. But the state has reached a
point where something must he done
to raise revenues and that is about
the only thing left without il radi-
cal revision OF the la VS. as they now
stand.

A MINNEAPOLIS OPINION
McLain. of Minneapolis Jour.
nal Expresses HIS Views OH
Primary Election Law.

Editor Republican,: Will you kind
ly publish the following letter which
was received from the editor Of the
Minneapolis Journal in reply to an
inquiry addressed to him asking as
to the workings Of the primary cleo
tion law in the state Of Minnesota?
1t is self explanatory and needs no
comments from me. E. f. r.
Replying to yours of Feb. Sth with
regard to primary election law, as
you say, this editor was mistaken as
to the nomiauinon OF the notorious
mayor Ames for governor. Ames
was a candidate for governor eighteen
years ago, but that was about a doZ-
en- years before We had a primary
election law in Minnesota. His NOM
ination for mayor was one OF the
most unfortunate results OF the pri-
mary election law and was brought
about by a defect in the law as Or
iginally drawn, which permitted the
democrats to vote for the republican
candidates and the republicans to
vote for democratic candidates in
the primary. That defect has been
eliminated by a change in the law,
whether republican or democratic,
and if there is any question as to
his right to the kind OF ballot he
calls for, he may be put on oath as
to whether he is a democrat or a re-
publican and required to testify as
to how he voted at the previous
election. In general the direct.nom-
mating system curbs the power Of
the bosses, places the selection Of
candidates more closely within the
control Of the people and excites a
much larger popular interest in the
selecting OF public officers than was
ever manifested before. Prior to the
present primary election system in
this state an attendance 20 OF per
cent Of tile party vote in party pri-
maries was large. Under the present
law, the primary election lrlngs out
is to S5 per cent Of the total vote.
No one in Minnesota proposes to re-
peal the direct nominating law. 1t
may be amended in some particulars;
it may be extended to include state
officers, which it does not do now.
but it will not be repealed.
Yours very truly,
j.. s. McLain,
Editor Journal.

IN PERFECT GOOD TASTE
why Women Sin Offend None in
this Presentation of the Great
Drama-A Moral.

The title of the drama to be pre-.
sented at the opera tomorrow night
might lead some to think that the
p%hraseology or the scenes might have
a tendency to offend people, but it
would seem from the statement made
by the Daily States, of New Orleans,
when the drama was presented there
last October, that there is little Of
that character, in fact there is a good
moral lesson connected with the
play. The company presenting it is

less the citizens of Mitchell will have

ARRANGEMENTS
ARE COMPLETED
For Erection of New
Smelter.
1t Will Be Located Adjacent TO the
Site of Former PIant-WiII Be
Thoroughly Modern in Every
Particular.

Arrangements have now been com.
pleted for the construction, by a new
company, of an entirely new and
modern smelling works near the loca-
ton of the former plant of the Val
Verde smelling company.
The plant will be of large capacity
consisting of lead and copper furnaces
and converter plants capable of treat
ing double the tonnage of ores and
concentrates formerly produced at the
smelter, and will be expanded to meet
the demand of the increasing produc-
ton of the mines.
Engineers are now at work on the
plans for the works AID construction
will begin as soon as these plans are
completed.
This will be distinctly local enter
prise and an independent works, free
from alliances with other companies
and in position to serve and protect
local mining interests.
The location of this plant in the
centre of the mining districts will
save the high freight rates necessary
to far distant smelling works and its
success will greatly benefit the mines
and will stimulate development and
production.
The new company invites the coop
ertion of the local mining interests.
