IT is SIMPLY a matter of time
when the railroad pass given to
legislators and other public ser
wants will be a thing of the rast.
The idea is vicious, and while
there are hundreds who accept
passes who discharge their pub
lie duties just as faithfully as
they received no courtesies from
the railroads there are others
who do not. The railroads are
not in business for their health
and if pass issuing was nota pay.
ing proposition for them the
practice would be abolished in
less time than it takes to read
these lines. The Pennsylvania
legislators who are threatening
all manner of vengeance upon
the railroads because of the
adjustment Of passes by the
railroads the re are making a holy
spectacle of themselves. They
are either crooked before or they
are crooked now, and there is no
other way of figuring it out.

INHERITANCE
TAX EXPLAINED
State Auditor Iverson Issues
Letter to County Officials
in State.

II has taken thirteen years for
the law taxing inheritances to
advance from stage of constitu-
tional authorization to the point
where, as a statute it has finally
been declared con stitutional by
the state supreme court.
The bill for til. con>tit u tional
amendment, changing Sec. l and
Art. 9 SO as TO authorize a tax on
inheritances ''of every kind and
description above fixed and
special sum-, was introduced in
the senate Of 1893 by S. w. Lea
witt, now q mem Der Of the state
board of contrul, then s,a sena-
tor from Meeker county. 1t is
of further interest to note that
the chairman Of the senate judi
CARY com m,ttee, who worked
hand in land with the author for
the bill's success, was John Day
Smith, now on the Henuepin
county district bench.
In view Of th, great Importance
OF the recent ruling of the su-
preme court, Samuel G.. Iverson,
state auditor, has issued an ex-
planatory letter to county treas
urers, judges Of probate, and
registers Of deeds throughout
the state. This letter which is
indorsed by Attorney General
Ed ward T. Young, explains that
the law does not apply to estates
in gross; only to the distributive
shares into which the estate IS
divided. The first $4,000 re-
ceived by any heir. devisee or
|egatee, Is exempt from the tax,
therefore when an estate does
not exceed $4,000 in value, the
law does not apply.
II an estate amounts to $40, 900,
$4,000 Of that sum is taxable at
i per cent. Ii the estate
amounts to $4,000, divided
equally among i've heirs, OF
IS, 0CO each, there would be no
tax whatever. II an estate is
valued at S75, 900, with legacies
OF ST. 900 each to ten parsons and
the remainder, SOS, 600, to one
person. there would be q tax of
3 per cent on S. COO Of the
.$65. 900.
The law was approved by the
governor April 10. 1905, aud all
estates of persons whose death
occurred since u at date, are
liable for the tax. The tax be-
comes a lien up,n : b estate up.
on the death of the decedent or
donor, and shall be due and pay
able one year from such death,
except as O her wise provided.
It is very important to have a
fair ard j, st apprais ,ment of
valuation Of the estate, and if a
county treasurer has reason to
believe that an est has been
valued, he should promptly
notify the State anditar, who will.
at once moYe to obtain a reap
praisement.
The word s'gifts" clearly APP
pies to all transfers or donations
OF property, whether real or per-.
sonal, in anticipation of death.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEA
Real Criterion.

A RAILROAD map is an uner.
ring index to the prosperity of a
country. The time was when
the railroads developed the coun-
try when they opened the
frontiers to civilization and paved
the way for the building up of
the traffic upon which they were
to depend. But the policy has
changed in later years and now
traffic must so to speak be in
sight before the road is built.
Towns are hardly built and
doomed now on a gam BILE that a
railroad will be built to them.
The towns come after the road
as rule. Thus the lines of rail
road are the fair index to the
ability of the country to produce
trrffic. A glance at the map Of
Minnesota will show the meas re
of.this test. 1t is coming rapidly
TO the very front. It's eastern
counties are covered with net
work of rails that rivals Illinois
and Iowa. It is the pass mark
of prosperity for the state and as
the network extends west ward,
as it rapidly is, the railroad maps
of the country will proclaim the
states increasing prosperity.

George 0rte|| Had Little Experience
Near Catholic Church.
He REFUSED TO HAND OVER HIS COIN
Tables Turned on Holdup, He Turned
and Fled Over Catholic Yard
Fence.

A shot from a 3S-caliber revolver,
heavy-set man when he attempted to
hold up and rob George Ortell. pro-
prietor of the Mint chophouse, near
the Catholic church at o'clock this
morning The determination of Mr..
Ortell not to hand over his wealth
without a fight and the sudden hum
of a bullet near his ears, caused the
would-be highwayman to take to his
heels. The way he hurdled the fence
surrounding the Catholic church, Mr..
Ortell says, would have put many a
professional to shame.
Il am not sure whether I hit the
fellow or not" Mr.. Ortell said soon
after the attempted holdup. Il was
coming up Alder street on my way to
the restaurant. 1t was pretty dark anQ
as l have been expecting some of these
my revolver in my hand. 1 kept to
the middle of the street until l reached
Seventh street and then took to the
sidewalk. Just as L approached row
OF trees a man stepped out and COM
manded me to throw up my hands. Ii
was pretty light there and as l had nc
intention of obeying the command
kept right along. He yelled at me
again and 1 raised my revolver ana
took a shot at him. 1t was funny to
see that fellow scramble to get out OF
the way. Why, he just simply flew
over the Catholic yard fence. l could
nave peppered him full of holes while
he was scrambling over the fence, but
fo1 some reason or other 1 simply hated
to do it. 1 could not see whether the
fellow had revolver or not. If he did
he was too scared to use it,
The snot fired by Ortell was heard
by Officer McCauley on Main street
and he investigated the attempted
holdup, but could find no trace of Il
man. The tracks of the fellow where
he went over the fence were plainly
discernible in the damp ground. The
dents made by his heels plainly show
ed that he was in a hurry. The fellow
was described by Orten as being a
short, heavy-set man. A wide trimmed
felt hat pulled down low effectively
concealed his features

PARKER-0'KEEFE GO WILL Be GOOD
DENVER BOY is ON THE LONG
END OF THE BETTING BUT
HE is CONFIDENT.

Kid Parker who fights Jack
OKeefe before the Spokane Amateur
Is, will probably enter the ring on the
long end of the betting. Spokane
sports are inclined to believe that
O'Keefe has the edge on, the Denver
lightweight although the kid" will
have plenty of money back of him
when he steps into the ring. Parker
fine appearance against Maurice
THOMPSON at Spokane two months ago
gave the Denver boy a big boost up
the pugilistic ladder and his easy vic
tory over Barney Mullin took him up
another round.
In O'Keefe he will meet the best man
he has fought since he met Rufe Tur-
ner at Seattle three years ago and
was walloped out in three rounds. Tur-
ner had an easy time of it with Parker
the last time they met, but Parker was
a sick man and in no condition to go
against the Stockton fighter. In his
present fighting trim Parker would
probably put the colored fighter to the
bad in less than a dozen rounds. Re
ports from Spokane are to the effect
that Parker and O'Keefe are training
hard for their fight. Indian Joe Gregg
is training Parker and the Denver lac
is rapidly rounding into condition.

.REVoLUT|0N|zE FOOTBALL Camel
INTER- COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL
RULES COMMITTEE FOR II
HOURS DISCUSSED 1T.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-In a series
of meetings that lasted twelve hours
the joint intercollegiate football rules
committee to whom was referred the
question of reforming the American
game of football. adopted drastic rules
which We're referred to the faculty of
all the major colleges in the United
States for approval and which will,
when they are approved as they are
absolutely sure to be, completely revo-
lutionize the game as played.
The new rules, as finally perfected,
will absolutely prevent rough playing
and will insure an open and free kick
ing game. such as has been advocated
by the reformers Cor some time. The
session Of the COMMITTEES today was
held in the Murrpv Hill MOTEL and was
presided over by T. M. Dennis of Corr
nell. Chairman Dennis announced that
there would be another meeting of the
committee held in this city two weeks
hence, at which time the question of
the elimination of roughness from foot
ball playing would be threshed out and
possibly the game would be put on a
more solid and conservative basis.
Four subcommittee were heard in
relation to the revision of rules and
in this report they described the brutal
playing that was to be eliminated as
follows:
Striking with fists, elbows, knees, or
deliberate kicking of an opponent
should be punished by disqualification
for the rest of the game and the Of
Tending team should lose the distance
of its own goal line. They suggested
that substitutes should not be allowed
to take the place of any disqualified
player.

EVENTS In THE WORLD OF SPORTS
WHITMAN met ITS FIRST DEFEAT
SOUND BASKETBALL TEAM WERE
TOO MUCH FOR THE
MISSIONARIES.

For the first time this year Whit
man was defeated in athletics i'm the
basketball game with Puget Sound
academy last night. Whitman played
with her usual speed, but the wonder
full lads from Snohomish were too
many for them, 1t is said their moth
ers gave them basketballs to play with
instead of rattles when they We're
teething and the kind of playing they
did last night lends color to the yarn.
They were superior to the Missionaries
in team work and goal throwing, both
on fouls and from the field. The local
team had them going when it came to
rushing the ball down the field, but
were unsuccessful in dropping the
leather sphere in the net when they got
man seemed to be outclassed. Each
had II opportunities, of which p. S. A.
cashed in and Whitman but 1. The
final score of the game was 80 to Is
in favor of the visitors At first it
looked like Whitman's game and the
first scene closed with score of II to
9 in favor of the locals, but the second
half had not progressed far before it
became evident that the speedy little
bunch from Puget Sound had roll of
goals up their sleeves which they pro-
ceeded to deal out with a rapidty
which made the sidelines groan. Stew
ems and Blackman were the star actors
for the visitors. Considerable COM
plant about the officials was expressed
by the spectators, but the Whitman
team declare they have no complaint
and are we'll satisfied. 1t certainly was
unfortunate that the referee was
member of the Snonomish team, but
the game would have gone to the WISH
tors in any case probably.
The lads were given an informal re-
ception at the Reynolds Hall parlors
after the game and professed them
selves well pleased with the hospitality
of Whitman. q"

New Rates From East Go Into

RAILROADS PREPARE FOR BIG TRAVEL
Hundreds Of Eastern People Arranging
to Come West and Look Over

when the new coloniSts rates go

what 1 believe will prove to be the
biggest immigration to the west that
travelling passenger agent of the Den
Yer & Rio Grande system, this morn
ing. For many months all of the rail-
road companies have been preparing
to handle the travel that will begin in
February and they are all now in
shape to give good service to the west
ern travellers. The entire west has
been receiving considerable advertising
throughout the east through the men,
bers of the Travelling Passengers as
ISOLATION which held it's annual meet
ing in Portland last fall. These men
when they returned east began sys-
tematic plan of advertising this coun-
try by issuing circulars and pamphlets
descriptive of all the Pacific coast
states. This literature was scattered
broadcast throughout the eastern
states and as a result inquiries by the
hundreds have been piling in on all of
the railroad officials from intending
western settlers. The Rio Grande has
completed arrangements to put on a

May Get Milwaukee.
while I am not in a position to
know anything about the plans of the
head officials of the road 1 believe that
Walla Walla stands pretty good Snow
to get the Milwaukee, said J. w.
Casey, travelling passenger agent of
that road, this morning at the o. r. &
N. general office. IF you don't get the
main line, it is almost sure that you
will get a branch of the road. The
Walla Walla country is too extensive
and there is too much business mere
for the Milwaukee to pass it by. The
Milwaukee is coming to the Pacific
coast to get some of the business that
now goes to the other railroads and
the new road will result in much bene-
fit to WalIa Walla even if the main
line does not, come through here, Mr..
Earling president of the road, is now
on the Sound and it is presumed that
he is there for the purpose of con-
sulting with mis- representatives in this
state about the commencement of con-
struction work in the near future.
