Admitting the '11onstrous condition of
our present tax laws, he balks at Civ
ing the ,legislatureaa chance to improve
them: That is his whole argument in
a nutshell. :. %s.. ~ 49, ! -.
The gist Of. the new tax amendment
is TO give. the legislature free reign
within the. limitations Of the amend
ment, namely: sHTaxes shall be- uni
form upon the same class of subjects
and shall be levied and collected for
public purposes, and: the power of taxa
ton shall never be- surrendered, sus-
pended or contracted away AS long
as the legislature observes these prin-
ciples, it is within its perogatives. 49,:
= Mr.: Walker ought, to be the very last
man in Minneapolis to- oppose this, the
most beneficial and most important
amendment submitted to the public
since the constitution; was framed, fifty
years ago. His argument is that of the
pessimist, of the zdistrustful, - Of :<the
non-progressive, of the, man who has
but specifically followed the trend of

of the amendment wish to have sub
stituted for. our present system9'' My
answer is this: .>.-.>. g.. ~: <.,:.
The possibilities under the amend
ment are very broad. The principle
Of local option and the enforcement Of
local from state taxes would probably
be one of the first things done. The
elimination of those classes of per-
sonal property which cannot be reached
in thorogoing manner would probably
be another. The passing Of a properly
graded inheritance tax law which should
be absolutely constitutional, would
doubtless be another The substitu-
tion of scientific system Of real estate
assessment in lieu Of the one man opin-
ion of today, would probably be an
other. A Registration mortgage tax
would probably be another; a tax on
the income from credits, rather than
the credits themselves, another; a law
putting Improvements of real estate in
a class by themselves, another. :. These
are so1ae of the. things which would
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-11-04

doubtless be done. But, first of all, a
commission of carefully selected men
would unquestionably be appointed to
consider the situation and recommend,
say two years hence, such changes to
the legislature as it might deem best.
Under the enlarged power conferred by
the amendment, that commission could,
supported by supplementary legisla-
ton, be a most effective source Of in
formation and leadership, A perma-
nent tax commission or an individual
tax commissioner would also be among
the probabilities.
MI. Walker is wrong when he says in
effect that there are no limitations un-
der the proposed amendment and that
the legislature can exercise its own
sweet will. That is not true. The
amendment positively conserves the
principles of equity and justice, and
future Legislatures will be held within
those Limitations. j.: - =. ..~
The trouble with Mr.. Walker: is that
he has no faith in our public servants.

that structure has been allowed to over
look that fact. The mere matter Of

H0TCHKlSS PUTS ON
A NEW PLAY TONIGHT

week today with George Howard in
Nat Goodwin's old play, 1.-THE Nom
inee;' and if the sturdy Nat is still in
Ocean Park. it will pay him to run in
and see himself as others see him.
Howard ought to be Goodwin to the
life, and then some. The theater has
done well in the first week with the
hoodoo removed, and the offering of
christopher Jr" was very acceptable
to everyone fortunate enough to see It,.
Much is expected of The Nominee, E"
and the promise is made that no one
shall be disappointed. There will be a
special matinee this afternoon.

WITH "CATTLE KING"
GRAND RETURNS
TO MELODRAMA

With the production of 1.-The Cattle
King" yesterday the Grand theater re-
turned to it's own--melodrama. And
the throngs that habitat there were de-
lighted accordingly
Not that the falling away of the
Grand for two weeks, when a con-
generation of everything from tragedy
p farce was given, didn't please; on
ne contrary. that was like the salad
curse at a hearty dinner-it rested the
plate and eased the strain. But when
he salad is over one Graves strong
beat again. and surely "The Cattle
ling" furnishes that in abundance.
THE plays locale Is the Rocky noun
aims, and the second act takes one
nto the Benzine saloon which is as
lot as its name indicates. Then one
ees in turn mining claim and the
Attle kings home in Mexico; a pretty
Woodland glen, back to the saloon, a
iorridor in Don Pedro's home and, in
the last act, when all comes right, are
transported to the Pedro home again.
Thus in five acts and ten scenes, the
6tory is told.
| And that story is so plainly indicated
Iby name and succession of scene that
Ito repeat it would be a work of supe-
rogation. 1t is thrilling enough to
please anyone. and the guns crack as
often as the most effete idea of the
western cowman would require.
Harrison King has a good part as
Bob Taylor, the cattle king, and Harry
Won Meter is good as Don Pedro, the
Mexican. Frank Richardson charac-
terizes a preacher and Albert McQuar-
rie an Englishman. Lillian Hayward
is strong as Donna Charlotte, Agnes
Ranken is good as Kathrine Paxton, an
heiress, her long suit and Lule War
renton and Myrtle Selwyn are excel
lent in their several roles.
The balance of the cast is good, and
the scenery and surroundings are all
that could be asked

CROWDS GUESS At
AUTO OWNERSHIP
POLICE INSIST ON REMOVAL
OF REMAINS
Speculation Prevails as to Who the
Woman Occupants Were-one
Was Hurt; Other Ran Away
From the Scene

Curious crowds thronged the vicinity
of F7igueroa and Eighth streets yester-
day inspecting the demolished automo-
bile which met with destruction in col
liSion with an east-bound electric car
of the University traction line, Satur-
day evening.
A general suppoSition Is that the
wreck belongs to Allen Ellington of the
Home Realty company, who resides at
1850 West Twenty-third street. Elling-
ton, who was formerly connected with
the drug establishment at Temple and
Spring streets refused to make any
statement regarding the affair at his
home last night, where 1t was admitted
that the Ellington machine had met
with dire mishap.
Although the fact that a woman per-
haps seriously injured, had been taken
from the scene of the accident to the
Douglas building, was published yes
terday morning, no efforts were made
by the police throughout the day to
make inquiries regarding the affair.
Protest Against Debris
An Inconvenience to residents in the
immediate neighborhood of the acci-
dent resulted in a protest to the police
station. where it was said that action
would be taken to remove the shattered
pleasure car.
The fact that Ellington would not
talk regarding the supposed destruction
of his machine, combined with the
statement of his sister. Miss Adele, that
her brother had not been at home Sat
urday evening prior to the accident,
and the admission at the Ellington
residence that the car had met with a
mishap, leads strongly to the be-
lief that Ellington was one of the party
of four which collided with the electric
car.
Although it was rumored Saturday
night that Miss Adele Ellington was
with her brother at the time of the
accident and received serious injuries,
later developments arising from the
fact that the feminine occupant was
taken to a surgeons office in the Doug
las building tend to belief that the
woman was other than Mr.. Ellington s
sister.
Woman Still Unknown
Nothing which would lead to the
identification of the uninjured woman
who. according to witnesses, ran swiftly
down Figueroa street, has become man
ifest.
automobile demonstrates that the occu-
pants had met with a remarkable es-
cape from death. as the entire car is
nothing more than a scrap heap.
The fact that Motorman Tim Follie
saw the car whiz into view as he ap-
preached the crossing prevented a ca
tastrophe, as the trolley was speeding
to gain schedule time. The air brakes
We're applied simultaneously with the
appearance of the auto as It shot in on
South Figueroa. lessening the impact
which could not possibly be avoided.
The members of the accident party
We're tremulous with excitement and
appeared extremely anxious to hide
their identity from the crowd of car
occupants and witnesses of the affair
who quickly gathered with offers of
assistance.
The man who occupied the rear seat
of the machine wore nose glasses,
which were smashed TO pieces portions
OF the glass lodging In the face and
clothing Of the injured woman.

TACKs ARE HIS WEAPONS
HowIs OF Pain Tell of Their Eff

Sit on Steps

Waynesboros high constable, George
w. Cans has adopted a new method
for driving loafers off the steps of
business places after the doors are
closed in the early evening.
He has managed heretofore to keep
the steps clear of tobacco-s splitting
loafers while he has watched them,
but there has been a quick gathering
of the crowd after he has moved on.
So he has taken to placing small
sharp pointed black tacks on the steps.
When the loafers sit down THEN
howls of pain tell the community that
they have been well punctured. The
scheme seems destined to accomplish

MORMONS AN ISSUE
IN IDAHO ELECTION
REPUBLICANS DIVIDED IN THE
DUBOIS CAMPAIGN
Question Is Whether Hierarchy at
Salt LAX, Shall Dominate Poiltl-
cal Affairs of the State-SItter
Feeling in the Party

Information from Idaho looking TO
the success of Fred T. Dubois in the
campaien now on in that state is Vi
the most encouraging character, ac-
cording to Idaho visitors at the notes
A pronninent stockman of Idaho III
Los Angeles, speaking of the polltlcal
situation, said to friend that Juuse
Stockslager would be elected governor
beyond any question by a majority Oh
at least 10000. ,,s.
This Idaho cattle man, who is ire
long Republican and who refuses TO
be read out of the party by rev
would-be Republican leaders, who are
tied hand and foot to the Mormon
church officials, to whom they look Tor
guidance i'm political affairs, says that
in travelling over the state he was
surprised to find that leading, innuen-
tial Republicans everywhere are nhlng
up in solid phalanX against the Mormon
hierarchy
Who Shall Dominate?
These men, he says, are as good and
true Republicans as they ever were
but they realize that a crisis Is I'M
pendinr: that in this campaign the is-
sues must be squarey met.
II must be decided at the ensuing
election whether the free American
citizens of Idaho shall govern in politi-
cal AFFAIRS or whether the Mormon
hierarchy at Salt Lake shall dominate
the political affairs of the state.
"The arrogance and criminal prac-
tices Of some of the leaders of my
party in Idaho" said the gentleman
whose views are given merely to show
the drift of feeling there, should bring
the blush of shame to every right,
freedom loving man and woman in
Idaho, be they Democrat or be they

.BABY'S SHRIEKS

Thrown Into Nervous Frenzy, Long
Beach Music Director Quits the
Stage in Disgust and Anoth-
er Takes His Place

During the rendition of pianissimo
passage in III Trovatore" at Long
Beach yesterday afternoon. by one
Royal Italian band, baby in the rear
of the auditorium struck up lusty
squall.
The mother, naturally desirous of
hearing the classical selection to its
finality, sat peacefully while the babe
continued to shrek.
The large Sunday afternoon audience
very much enraptured with the music,
was surprised to see the leader, Marco
Vessella, suddenly throw down his
baton, and hurry from the stage to his
dressing room. The piece went unfin-
ished.
Furthermore, Vessella did not appear
to lead the remaining four numbers of
the program, Cincione taking his place.
At the opening of the second part of
the program an announcement was
made to the effect that parents with
children of tender years, or months,
were requested to sit close to an exit.
