Circulation Counts.

May tumble Values.
Prof. McVey, a member of the
newly-appointed state tax commission,
may be an expert on tax subjects, but
ne appears weak on geographical
points. A few years ago, in furnish
ing statistics for an encyclopedia, he
gave the capital of Minnesota as
Minneapolis. If the professor is not
more careful in his taxation work,
we may expect to find our personal
and real estate values jumbled as
badly as boarding house hash.-Battle

State Officials Have Great Heads.
The report that the $4,000 legis-
lative appropriation for road and
bridges in this state is unconsti-
tutitional is undoubtedly based on a
wish in some quarters to that effect.
That such an appropriation should be
unconstitutional while appropriations

St. Paul real estate, for lighting
plants, for private fair associations,
for gifts to university professors, leg

should be constitutional while the

Halbert is a Good Pilot.
The st. Paul Roosevelt club had an
election the other day, with Hugh T.
Halbert carrying off the presidential
honors. Hugh for a rival had Guy
Caldwell, whom he distanced rather
badly. If the stories aaoat are to be
believed, the election of Mr.. Halbert
put the lid on rather promising little
scheme which had for it's end the use
of the club and it's membership in
helping and booming the political fu-
ure of one known candidate for re-
publican honors. Others, too, in the
ring, it was claimed, were to be
favored. The guubernatoriaT candi-
date to have realized was said to be
Attorney General Young. Mr.. Hal
bert, in his conduct of the affairs of
the local club, has been a stickler for
hands off" in the state and national
game, he holding that the province of
it's political activities was solely to
uphold and protect republican prin-
ciples, though in the local game he
and his following have been more ag-
gressive and independent. The Hal
bert following learning of the scheme
on foot got busy and the result was
the downfall of the alleged conspira-
tors.-County Chairman in St. Paul
Dispatch.
