TEST CASE
Taxpayer Wishes to EnjoiI
County Commissioners.

Anton HELM taxpayer in the
town of Normanna has asked the
courts for an injunction restraining
the board of county commissioners of
ST. Louis county from appointing a
county superintendent of roads or
appropriating money to compensate
such an officer. The case was heard
by Judge Dibell Monday.
The action is one of interest to the
state at large, as it has been brought
to determine the constitutionaliGy of
an act of the last legislature provid-
ing for county superintendent of
roads and for his compensation. The
law affects number of counties hav-
ing certain population, and there is
great deal of interest being mani
tested in the outcome Of the test case,
both by county officials and by tax
payers.
Public sentiment seems to be divid-
ed over the desirability of a county
superintendent of roads. The friends
of the measure claim that there
should be some such person to look
after u systematic Course of road
building and be made responsible for
the spending of public road funds.
Those opposed to the measure are
mostly the taxpayers in the towns
that haye hitherto had the spending
of their own road money. They
object to the power of spending the
road money being played in the hands
of man appointed by the county
board, also against the dismissal of
the road inspectors.
The opponents of the law claim
that it is demonstrations and void.

BOGUS Baronets.

That is a rather shocking announce
ment which comes from England
based on the official report of gov
eminent committee appointed for tn.
purpose of making an investigation
that there are many bogus baronets
The committee goes so far as to say
that illegal wearers of the title repre-
sent not less than five or six pei
cent. of the entire baronetage. Fraud
ulent titles are not at all uncommon
in the old world, and many pre-
tended nobleman has strutted about
parading borrowed, stolen or manu-
featured appellations, says Troy Times
Some of them have strayed across the
ocean, though usually such humbugs
wind up in the criminal courts or are
kicked out of the social circles into
which they have managed to gain az
entrance. False pretense of this kino
is not so common as regards the Brit
ish nobility, Of which a pretty care
full record is kept. But the report
of the committee shows that even the
closely watched baronetage is not free
from imposition. This is an age OF
growing democracy, when mere rank
and title do not count for as much
as they once did. And-the very fact
that men are so much more alike thar
they used to be seems to make it easy
to counterfeit ''the old nobility"
