TEACHER OUSIED
FOR WHIPPING; BOY
ST. PAUL PRINCIPAL DISMISSED
BY SUPERINTENDENT HEETER.
Charles E. Flitner, Head Of the Grant
i. School In the State Capital, Loses
Position Because He Beat Pupil in
Forbidden Manner,

Charles p: Flitner, principal of the
| Grant school, Arkwright and Magnolia
| streets, st. Paul, was ordered dismissed
| by the school board last evening on the
ground that he had administered bru-
tai whipping to 13-year-old boy. Mr..
Flltner was given a hearing by the
board: Statements. were heard from
who received the punishment. and his
mother. The principal was then given
his dismissal, taking effect Immediately.
Inc boy was also suspended, and there
is question whether he will be re-
| celved back into the schools.
The principal had the mothers con-
sent to whip the boy on condition that
she be present. The boy had caused q
great deal Of trouble in the school, and
seems to have been a tough" young
ster., Last Monday the janitor heard
tne BOY cqrslng In the school hail., He
reported the matter to Flitner. Flitner
told the boy to tell his mother when
he went home at noon, that he was to
be whipped in the afternoon. The bow
replied that he would carry no such
| message, and that If the principal tried
to whip him, something would happen
to the principal.
The boys remarks were accompanied
with oaths, it is said.
The principal then told the boy that
ne would be whipped at once. He called
the lanitor. and together they logged
the screaming youngster to the base
and while the janitor, on instruction,
held him, Flitner administered the pun
lshment with a heavy cato '-nine-tails,
an instrument originally made for the
beating Of carpets. Flitner struck with
such force that great welts were made
and blood drawn. The boys garments
were replaced and he was told to re-
turn to his room. A string Of curses
was the reply, and once more the Sc.
we're punishment was administered
without mercy.
The boy went to his room and took
his seat, but the seat was so hard and
cred up his books and went home. Fit
| ner reported the case to Superintend-
ent Heeter, who made an Investigation
and reported the affair to the school
board.
The board dismissed Mr.. Flitner for
four reasons: Because, while he had
the consent Of the mother to whip the
boy on condition that she should be
present, the boy was whipped without
her knowledge; because Mr.. Flitner vic.
! Lated a rule of the board in permitting
the janitor. to assist at the whipping,
the rule being that the janitor shall be
orderly boy from the building; because
the method Of whipping laying the
boys skin bare was unbecoming and
undignifed, and because the carpet
beaten used for whipping the boy was
more an instrument Of torture than an
ordinary affair such as should be used
for correctional purposes.

SYSTEM
IS MOST UNJUST
j. r. KINGMAN FAVoRs WIDE
OPEN TAX AMENDMENT.
Only Laws Possible Under Present Con-
stitution Bear Down Most Heavily on
( People Of Small Means Change Will
Permit Up-to-Date Reform Legis-
lation.

Joseph r. Kingman, the Minneapolis
attorney, has given considerable study
to the proposed constitutional amend
ment relating to taxation, and indorses
it in every particular. Mr.. Kingman
said today:
IT shall support the proposed wide
open tax amendment. It is the result
tax commission Of 1902. This commits
sion gave long and careful study to the
subject and reported that no salts
factory tax code could be adopted un-
til the constitution was amended sub
stantially in the manner proposed by
this amendment. ".>'r :.
"Practical experience Of the work
ings OF our present constitution shows
that if the laws enacted and which
are enforced, 1t results in great in
Justice. This is particularly true with
regard to the assessment of personal
property where the burden is likely to
fall most heavily upon people of small
means and small incomes. The result
is a tendency on the part of officials
to wink at the law and on the part Of
individuals to. evade it. This is de-
moralizing to both parties.
The proposed amendment by giving
the legislature some discretion in the
classes. OF property on which taxes may
be levied will remove this tendency to
a great extent. It will also enable the
legislature to keep abreast of the times
in matters of taxation. Many Of the
best features Of our present system Of
taxation, such for instance as the in
heritance tax, haye only been enacted
after years of effort to overcome the
constitutional objections thereto.
"Other forms Of taxation, such as an
income tax and a registry tax on mort
cages, impossible now, would be law
full under the wide open amendment. -
Much has been said about the ex-
emption clause as applied to church
property, but it appears to me a minor
matter compared with the greater ques-
tions involved in the wide-open tax
amendment. Whatever Interpretation
may be put upon this exemption clause
have sufficient confidence in the tenn
per OF our people to believe that any
abuse Of such an exemption would
meet with a prompt repeal (by amend
ment) Of the Objectionable clause.

COLES ST AND ON
TIMBER l!.]||' QUESTION.
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR HAS
URGED REFORM MEASURE.
When in Legislature He Was Most
Active Man In That Body In Work
of Safeguarding State Timber and
Land Interests, Also in Reclaiming
Logs for Taxation.

A. L. Coles legislative record is
answer enough to democratic insinu-
ations as to his connection with lum-
Der interests. The only basis for such
talk is that Mr.. Cole comes from the
timbered section Of the state, but his
popularity In that section has been
largely due to the fact that he has
stood with the. interests Of the COM
mon people and not for those Of the
big lumber corporations.
Mr.. Coles first service in the legis-
lature was in 1908. When elected he
had made some investigation, and found
that good many logs in the streams
were escaping taxation entirely. To
remedy this. he introduced bill pro-
yidinng that all logs should be listed
TOR taxation in the county where cut.
This bill was fought hard by the lum-
house, it was killed in the senate. The
resentment Of the lumbermen against
Mr.. Cole was shown in the 1904 pri-
maries, when he ran far behind his
opponents in the towns where saw
mills were operated. Mr.. Cole did not
press this fight in the next session, as
the same senators were in service, and
would have killed his bill again.
The trespass question was important
IL the 1905 session, and as a member
WV ASTo anu AuIAUcT COululGCc6 MT,
Cole took an active hand in drafting
and securing the passage of a new
bill. It provided 5000 reward for
information OF trespass, and also pro-
vided that cases Of trespass In the
future should never OUTLAW against
the state. This law has done much
to wipe out trespass.
Safeguarding Appraisals.
Mr.. Cole championed another meas
papers before the session. In many
cas- les timber had been sold bv the
state as agricultural land, by the acre,
and to prevent such loss to the state
Mr. Cole secured the passage Of new
act requiring appraisal Of state land
before it is sold, by three competent
appraisers, one named by the governor,
one BY the state auditor and The third
by the county commissioners. The
auditor g appointee must be regularly
employed state cruiser, not resident
Gated. In the past much lar land 70 has u
been appraised without inspection. The
new rule makes it certain that at least
one Of the appraisers will see the land.
and no land will be sold without state
officials knowing the character Of Ii.
The record shows plainly that no
man In the legislature has been so
active on. behalf Of measures to pre-
serve state timber and to make lum-
Der Interests pay their fair share Of
taxation as A. L. Cole. No one else
has accomplished SO much in the legis-
lature that the ,unscrupulous element
among the lumbermen did not want.
They did pot contribute to his nom.
ination, and have done nothing to fur
Their his election. He is not the kind Of
man a. this element wants to see in the
office of governor. az, q

1t has been shown that secret society
benevolence is not genuine philan-
thropy. If man or his family is
helped it is because all the require
ments of the organization have been
met and not because the man as a
human being in distress needs succor.
If the requirements have not been met,
no priest or Levite could pass with
more composure than the fraternity
men. and if the man were not mem
Der and never had been, he would
simply have to wait for a Good Samari-
tan. ...-.- ..E~
I am tempted into this train Of
thought not because I disprove of
secret benevolent fraternities. I am q
"jiner'' myself. I only want to en-
phasize a point which is generally lost
sight of, to-wit, that while secret fra
ternities are well enough within their
limits, they do not and cannot Ike the
place Of membership in a church.
Morality of the secret society order is
not equivalent to active experimental
religion.
Personally, without malice Of any
sort, am not sure that the general
system of secret society benevolence is
not the mighty, the beautiful many
