Is constitutional

st. Paul.-The inheritance tax law,
as passed by the last legislature. is
held to be constitutional in a decision
handed down by the supreme court.
The opinion means to the state about
$500, 900 in back taxes.
The opinion resulted from the re-
fusal of Probate Judge Bazille to APP
point appraisers to ascertain the value
of legacies and devlses made by Paul
ID. Ferguson. Judge Bazille refused to
comply with the request and the case
was carried into the Ramsey county
district court There an application
for writ of mandamus was denied on
the grounds that the law was uncon-
stitutional.
The tax is rs per cent on legacies Of
more than $40, 900 or under $50, 900, 3
per cent on legacies of $50, 900 to $780,
900 and per cent on legacies of more
than 100000. There are seventeen
large estates that are liable and the
taxes accruing to the state will be
about 500, 900.

MANY Old Timers.

st. Paul.-The state census report
just issued gives some interesting fig
ures on the movement of population to
and from the state and between differ
emit parts of the state. There are 81
949 persons enumerated who have lived
in the state forty-seven years, or since
it's admission to the Union. AS the
territorial census of 1857 gave a popu-
lation of 0,O37, it will be seen that
one-fifth of them are still living in the
state. Of these old settlers, Hennepin
county has 4,431, Ramsey 3.179, Fill
more, /, 1868 and Goodhue 1,208.

A book will soon be issued by the
Junior Philatelic society of London.

treating in popular style our regular
postal issues.
Obock is French possession on the
Red sea, and it is reported that It's
capital city is village of huts 1t
is nevertheless civilized enough to
have postage stamps as witness "
different varieties during the years
1892, 1893, 1894.
A very efficient committee has been
given charge Of arrangements for the
annual convention Of the American
Philatelic association to be held in
Boston next August. AS the leading
stamp society in the country very
large attendance will be planned for.
The earl of Crawford is adding to
his iaurels by calling at the Islands OF
Tristan da Cunha in the capacity OF
mail carrier. One thousand miles west
of Cape of Good Hope, isolated as they
are, the barely 100 inhabitants OF this
group of islands will appreciate the
favor done them.
1t looks as if John P. Green, United
States postage stamp agent, will be
minus a job one of these days, the re-
cent reorganization of the post office
department leaving nothing for him
to do. When the next appropriation
is made there is no salary in it for
a stamp agent That work in future
will be under the stamp division.
The public is warned against writ
ing anything except the address on
the face of pictorial cards intended
for parties in the Netherlands. The
Dutch postal law provides that in case
there is writing on the face or the
card the recipient is fined in the sum
or six cents, our money. The card
with writing on the face is regarded
as a letter underpaid and the rule OF
assessing double postage applies. The
same rule also applies if the words
"Post Card" are not printed on the
face.

FOREST RESERVE DISCUSSION.


The Omray Herald discusses the
forest reserve policy OF the govern
ment intelligently as follows;
+. A. Silcox, assistant forester at
Durango, and for several months To-
Gated at Glenwood Springs. has is
Craze stock on the forest reserves,
to have applications for permits In
the office of the forest service at Du'
range by March /. This announce
ment applies to the Montezuma and
San Juan forest reserves. An inter
esting fight has been waged against
some OF the policies advanced by the
forestry officials at Washington. by
the stoclSmen OF this and other states
and at last reached n crisis in the
stock meeting In Denver a few days
ago.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the stockmen but that the reserves
would be n benefit but large ma
jority of the stockmen who are af-
fected by the reserves did not be
lieve that they should be the sole
ones to pay the extra tax imposed by
the officials. They also asked that
they he allowed rights in connection
with the operation of the reserves,
Chief Forester Pnshot, at the meet
ing held In Glenwood Springs. Dec. |
refused to grant the stockmen's re
quest. except that they might advise
II they desired. The fight that was
being put up aroused that department
to action and the result was that in
the convention in Denver few days
ago Mr.. Pinchot announced that the
stockmen would be given privileges
in connection with the control oil
the reserves. Just how the new rul
ing will be accepted and how soon II
will go into effect remains to he seen
The policy which President Roose
welt has followed in making the for
est reserves Is a good one and will
have the hearty support of every cat
tleman and rancher II the department
to which the president has given the
power Of control gives the people the
square deal that Roosevelt desires
and will enforce.
One mans theory can not always
strictly agree with another mans, ye
they can be similar and work TOWARD
the same results: therefore we shonlt
be satisfied TO make the best of eacf
others little differences in opinions
and work for the best interests o
all concerned. Instead OF fpjitini
the forestry policy and the grazini
fee II is much better to work in ac
