Too Big for Ninety Days.

NJ The Duluth Herald agrees with T h Q
journal that the next legislature
should create a tax commission. The
creation Of a new tax system, - says
the Herald, lis too great a task for
one legislative session, with its mani
fold duties, to attempt. It is too i'm
portant an office to be approached hur-
riedly, and whatever is done must be
done carefully, thoughtfuny and con-
servatively. Minnesota cannot afford
to endanger her prosperity by crowding
half digested tax code thru single
sitting Of the Legislature. Such course
could hardly fail to involve dangerous
mistakes. - h..%N
Anyone with legislative experience
must agree with this view Of the case.
The tax question has multiple sides,
and for 1872 members Of the legislature
to attempt its solution offhand, without
a logically worked system OF prelimi.
nary draft to start on, would simply
mean endless confusion. The Jour
n al expects to see a large number Of
bills on tax questions introduced, and
undoubtedly some kind Of a start will
be made in reform legislation, but it
will be work Of piecemeal character,
and without the study and work of a
commission the next session would re-
suit the same way. If we are to have
a coherent plan of taxation under the
powers of the new amendment, we must
have something better than a ninety
day tumble of conflicting bills.

"A MUSICAL MINISTER is the title
of a little book from the pen of Rev. G.
L. Morrill, Of Minneapolis. The author
himself calls it "a kind Of autobiography
Of one who has divided his time between
music and the ministry" It., therefore,
has, a. triple interest, for it is autobiog-
raphy, and the autobiography Of a man
well known to Minneapolis, and it gives
his outlook upon affairs, especially church
affairs, from two distinct angles-that of
the minister bent upon doing good by all
means in hts power and that Of the min
lister particularly capable in the use of
music as an aid. It is frank, straight
forward, forceful statement of interesting
episodes which have had an unusual in
huence upon unusual life.
Standing out strongly among Mr.. Nor
rill's convictions as a musical minister
Is that that the music Of the churches
should be brought to higher levels, and in
this he ably voices the sentiments Of in
creasing numbers Of churchmen. He
says very frankly: -
Rowland Hill did not see why the devil should
have all the good tunes, but have often wished
that Be had modem
tunes and their doggerel rhymes
This is almost blunt enough to offend
in some quarters, but it holds a deal Of
truth. Much else that Mr.. Morrill, has to
say goes to show that hymns that are not
doggerel and tunes that are not jangling
are far more effective aids to worship
than the kind Of music he complains Of
Mr.. Morrills book contains halftone
Of the author as a frontispiece. and we'll

Lowell L. Morrill, as marginal illustra-
lions. .a. ...s ,.... ..s -
Altogether, therefore, the, book Is one

ested in the work Of q musical minister

the. other bandit believes that if the
people had known that Mr.. Hearst had
spent $25O, Oo0 fighting the money
power in politics itSwould have caused
less people tosdock to his pure stand

The serious thing about these COM
pilations is that there is as yet little
or no evidence Of the diminuti6n Of the
use! of money in elections. If cam
paiga between two professed reformers

lars, what will be the cost Of national
campaign in which the fate Of the
tariff is to be settled9 IL
It is apparently necessar,. to enact
something like the English law which
defines objects for which money may be
spent, who may spend it and how much
he shall be permitted to put out.
The New York exhibit is interesting
mainly as showing that both state COM
mittees have reached a degree of shame
lessness that makes something besides
publicity obligatory if the use of money
in politics is to be kept out Of the
scandal department. =

Judson May Be President.

They think in Chicago that DR.. Harry
Pratt Judson, acting president Of the
University of Chicago, IS likely to be
elected permanent president of that in
stitution. DR.. Judson is now in New
York, where a meeting of the trustees
is to be held soon. He is understood
to have won the favor of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, the principal beneficiary of the in
stitution. by his excellent financial man
agement, Dr.. Judson has been the
acting head Of the institution since Dr..
Harper died. He has instituted some
reforms in connection with the bust
ness management of the institution and
Topped off useless expenses, and in so
doing has won the approval Of the man
who has put up most of the money.
DR.. Judson went from the University
of Minnesota to the University of Chi
cago about dozen years ago. He has
been for many years DR.. Harper s right
hand man. He is head professor of
political science and dean of the coll
lege of arts, letters and science. He
possesses excellent qualifications for
the presidency Of great university.
Not only is he a man of great learning,
but he is a man of affairs He can do
business on a business basis and like a
business man, and the management Of
"a big institution such as the Univer-
sity Of Chicago is calls for the exercise
Of a great deal Of business ability. Its
revenues are large and it's expenditures
heavy. It is worth while to have at
the head Of an institution like that a
man who can get the most out Of its
liberal income. When there is a good
deal of it there are SO many chances
to waste money about great institutions
Of learning, SO many ortunities to
spend II on fads and fancies. and n

GOALS FROM THE FIELD

Speaking: Of the fraternities, Super
tntendent Jordan is quoted as saving.
We must rout them out Of the high
schools, where they are a detriment to
the students, both to those who are
elected and those who are fortunate
enough to be not elected.''
The only thing that can be said for
high school fraternities is that thew
are natural adaptations by the Younger
pupils of the ideas they get from their
older brothers. and, sisters in the col;
leeges: They do not differentiate very
closely between their status and that
OF the others. For that matter, they
are led on to believe their status Is

The Insurance Battle.

The success of the plan for return
ing the control Of two big life insur-
ance companies to the policyholders is
not yet demonstrated. The vote by
mail has begun, but it will not be end
ed until the 18th of December. Mean
while the administration in both the
Mutual and New York Life companies
is making desperate efforts to win. On
the other hand, the international poll
cyholders' committee appears to have
gone into winter quarters. Of all the
eminent men named on the committee,
not one seems to be doing anything
worth while. True, Samuel Untermey-
er is suffering and threatening and
writing, but meanwhile the officers of
the two insurance companies are work
ing, spending and bulldozing, which is
much more practical in politics.
There was at first a disposition on
the part of the agents to stand aloof
from the movement, but they soon
learned what they were expected to
do. They must either hustle for the
administration or get out. In Detroit
the Mutual Life took drastic action
against a general agent, in New Jer-
sey the New York Life made an ex-
ample of another. These two lessons
were sufficient to bring all the agents
in line. They are hustling. All the
schemes known to the agents are be-
ing worked upon policyholders to in
duce them to mark the administration
ticket in the presence of the agent and
deliver it to him to be mailed. Grave
charges have been made also of the
wholesale spending Of policyholders
money to win votes for the Gins"
The air in insurance circles is sur
charged with excitement over this cleo
ton comparable only to the interest in
a closely contested national campaign.
It is recognized, too, that the ms
are fighting for a stake worthy of the
strongest and rankest efforts of their
heelers. The prize is the continuation
of the connection between Wall street
and the insurance companies and the
creation of a sentiment which viii re-
peal all or part Of the Armstrong laws,
and particularly those parts which pro-
hibit deferred dividends and limit in
vestments- The deferred dividend
provides the big surplus and the wide
open investment field gives Wall street
its chance to use the peoples money
to fasten upon the people some of the
most Objectionable trusts. The battle
is one Of dollars against public rights
and the public conscience, and yet its
outcome is doubtful because the vote
is not public.

New York Campaign Funds.

For the first time the New York pub
lie has learned something about CAM
paign expenditures and who are the
donors to campaign funds. The collec-
lions and disbursements of the state
committees as published show that the
republicans spent $4,000 to elect
Hughes, the democrats $4,000 in sup
port of Hearst, the socialists about
$4,000. These are state expenditures.
The county committees in and for
Greater New York spent considerable
money also. The judicial nominators
wasted 100000 in an attempt to elect
a non-partizan bench. Altogether, in
GLIDING candidates. bills, each side in
the late New York contest must have
expended a million dollars.
. More interesting than the expendi:
lures is the sources Of supply. It ap-
pears from the items that the repubI-
cans got $4,000 each from j. P. Nor
gan and Levi P. Morton. Andrew Car
negie and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
gave $4,000 apiece to save the state from
Hearst. Chauncey M. Depew, John w.
Gates and number Of private banking
firms like Seligmans and Kuehn, Loeb
& Co., put up 900 each, while the in
efable W. E.. Corey Of the steel trust,
Charles M. Schwab, Jacob Schiff and
Clarence Mackay gave only $4,000 each.
On the other side, Mr.. Hearst appears
to have done the most of. the spending
himself. He gave $57 900 to g Fingy''
Corners, state chairman, and spent
about 100000 more getting the nomi-
nation.
These figures are interesting. The
New York Press claims they would be
more interesting If they had been pub
slished the, week before election instead
of the week after. It suggests q law
closing the books Of campaign commit
! tees a week before the voting and the
publication at that time Of their re-
ceipts and the sources thereof. It sug-
gests that it would have been Of consid-
cradle INTEREST before election to know

Intensive Railroad DEVELOPMENT

AAo0AoisO Aeo1A Oc1u O6VclOpucuG.
E. H. Hartman IS assertion that
there are enough railroads in the coun-
try now, or rather that the present
roads are long enough and need in.
tensive development instead of extern
sion, is vigorously combatted in some
quarters. A member of the interstate
commerce commission declares that the
volume of freight traffic has doubled
in the last seven years, and is certain
to increase tremendously in the next
seven. The roads, he points out, are
now so badly congested with freight
that business is much embarrassed and
many lives are annually lost in the at
tempt to handle freight with INSULT
cient equipment. -
Nevertheless, what Mr.. Hartman
says is not %inconsistent with this OBJ
lection. Rather does it recognize the
necessity for more sidetracks, more
freight cars, more locomotives-in
short, for better facilities everywhere.
That is exactly what Mr.. Hartman
means by intensive development. There
will naturally be many extensions built
in new territory, but it is evident that
the principal work Of the railroads
must now be in the direction of putting
their lines and equipment in condition
to perform far. greater service per mile
than is now possible. Busy stretches
of line must be double-tracked. Sid
ings must be literally supplied. Trac-
tion power must be tremendously in
creased. Freight-car capacity must be
doubled and treb1ed- Warehouses and
terminal facilities must be expanded.
More men must be- employed.
Practical railroad men understand
the necessity of the situation and are
moving with all energy to meet them.
They know now that they have been
too conservative and waited too long.
But the movement is at last in full
swing. The tremendous increase in
terminal facilities in Minneapolis made
by the Great Northern and other roads
recently; the great new yards to be
equipped in Northeast Minneapolis are
examples close at home Of what is be-
ing done.
