Gov. Johnson's Recommendations

Governor Johnson in his message
to the Minnesota legislature recon-
mended under the head of taxation
registry and income tax on mortgages
with a penalty for evasion. He also
advocated the appointment of a per-
manent tax commission for the state
and abolition of assessors in counties
with tax commissioners and boards
substituted. Among the other recon-
mendatiOns under this head were:
Income taxes on royalties or mineral
rights; increased tax on iron produc-
ton of the state; higher tax on sleeping
car companies; penalties imposed on
telephone companies for non-payment
of taxes; express companies should
be taxed according to better system;
railroads to pay their taxes semi-an-
nually; license tax of $40 per annum
on all corporations; present fixed tax
on mineral leases raised to minimum
of fifty cents per ton on sliding
scale; general increase of states rev.
enue from iron ore sources.
Under the head of railroads Cover
nor johnson said that the recent re-
auctions of freight rates had not gone
far enough, as rates in other states
and Canada show what can be done

NOTHING EXCITINGAT
THE CAPITOL
CITY
Legislators Will Soon Settle
Down to a Daily Grind in
Bismarck.

Guy G. H. Corliss, William Bulge,
]. D. Bacon and J. c. Mahon arrived
in Grand Forks Wednesday evening
from Bismarck, where they witnessed
the converting of the legislature.
They state that conditions at Bis
marck are very "tame." 1t seems to
be the general impression that Bis
marck is the scene of a very exciting
session. The four gentlemen return
ing last night state that there is no
more excitement now than is usually
attendant to such a gathering, and
within three or four days matters will
settle down to a regular routine.
The converting of the legislature
was without any extraordinary event.
Everything went off in good shape,
and the members will settle down to
a daily grind very soon.
The increased hotel accommodations
at Bismarck was also noticed by the
Grand Forkers. Whereas before the
one hotel has been the scene of the
daily gathering of legislators, they are
now more divided.
Altogether conditions are more fav-
orable and pleasant at the capitol city
this year than they have ever been
before.

to aid the people without being unjust
to the railroads; uniform 2-cent pas
senger law; all railroad passes ex-
cept those to railroad employees and
the members of their families to be
abolished; reciprocal demurrage
charge.
Governor recommended standard
life insurance policy; abolition of de-
ferred dividends; prohibition of poll
teal contributions; regulation of sal
aries and investments; annual reports
which indicate clearly what has been
done.
That an appropriation be made for
the attorney general to permit him to
prosecute those responsible for the ex-
tortionate increase in the price OF
lumber.
The governor commends the primary
election law, but says new law should
be framed based on experience with
the present law.
Under the head of labor" Cover
nor johnson recommended the enact
ment of a law abolishing the non-lia-
bility of the master for injuries
through negligence of a fellow SER
want; one labor inspector for each
congressional district, giving them the
power of truant officer.

LAST ACT AS JUDGE
IN THE FIRST
DISTRICT
Fisk Reverses Himself in the
Scherer Damage Suit-A
New Trial.

Judge G. ]. Fisk last night at Bis
marck performed his last official act
as judge of the First judicial district
when he issued a mandate granting a
new trial in the case of Jacob Sherer
as administrator VS.. Schlaberg &
Griffin, the local druggists.
The suit was the result Of the death
of young child of Mr.. Sherer whose
demise, it was claimed, was due to a
mistake of the drug clerk in filling a
prescription left by physician. The
prescription called for medicine in a
powdered form while the medicine de-
livered to the child's father was put
in a bottle and intended for another
person. The child's death occurred
soon after the mixture was given to
it by the mother.
In its verdict the jury awarded the
sum of $500 to the plaintiff for dam
ages although the testimony of the
physicians during the trial was that
death resulted from natural causes
and not from the medicine admin
istered.
The order for a new trial was is
sued because of an error of Judge
Fisk's who, in his charge to the jury
stated that the father was not liable
for contributory negligence. Upon
deep investigation he has found de-
cisions which sustain the claim that
the mother is the agent of the father
who is thus chargeable for contri-
butory negligence.

SNOW WORST THAT
NORTH DAKOTA
EVER HAD
Record Of Year Of 1895 Com
pletely Wiped Out by Con-
ditions This Winter
SAYS JAMES ROBINSON
The Beautiful is Piled to the
Eaves Of Passenger Coaches
in Many Places.
SAYS JAMES ROBINSON

According to James Robinson,
freight agent OF the Great Northern,
the snow in North Dakota this winter
is the worst ever seen in the state.
Mr.. Robinson has been to many places
in the state, and has interviewed some
of the pioneers. They all agree.
{. There is more snow in North Dakota
than there ever has been before.
About two-thirds Of the distance be-
tween here and Devils Lake the snow
reaches to the windows of the pas
senger coaches, while on the Hannah
line between Edinburg and Union the
snow is piled to the caves of the cars.
= For thirty days, there has been al
most continual storm, the wind
shifting the snow from place to place
every day. The cuts through the
snow, made by the tracks, are quickly
filled with snow, and it is almost i'm
possible to clear the tracks.
Trains are becoming stalled continu-
ally. The Oriental, west bound got to
Niagara last night, and become stalled
not getting out until this afternoon
Train six from Minot, leaving there
Wednesday morning will arrive in
Grand Forks tonight, it having become
fast in snow drift near Devils Lake
The Hannah train was stalled at a
point near Edinburg several days ago
and one of the trains was snow bound
at Inkster for several days. West oil
Devils Lake conditions are not as bad
but there is still plenty of work for the
snow plow crews.

HAS A new INVENTION
Weber Would Answer All Question
With the Aid Of Machinery
Everybody Wants to Know.

Great Northern Agent w. s. Weber
is working on a new patent which If
successful, promises to revolutionize
the railroad business in North Dakota
and parts of Montana. The apparatus
consists Of a rotating cyclinder or
disk covered with material easily in
denied as tin foil, wax, etc., above
which is a thin plate carrying a
stylus. AS the plate vibrates under
the influence of sound, the stylus
makes minute lamentations in the soft
material and these when again turned
make the disk vibrate and reproduce
the sound-in short the new apparatus
consists of monograph set up near
the window of the ticket Office, the in
strument to be stuffed with such ex-
pressions as mo. l ten hours late" "
"No. eight hours late" Fargo train
indefinitely postponed, etc.
For the past month Mr.. Weber and
Ticket Clerk Charley Taylor have
answered a constant procession of
questions until they are in a desperate
strait of mind and like drowning men,
will grasp at anything to aid them in
restraining their tempers. Both men
are possessed of more than ordinary
patience and are doing all in their
power toward obHging the travelling
public, but the condition of the trains
of late has necessitated twelve and
fourteen hour days in the ticket Office.
However both gentlemen are firm be-
levers in Lord Lytton's delineation
which goes on something like this.
There is NO policy like politeness;
and good manner is the best thing In
the world, either to get good name
or to supply the want of it."

Milk Ordnance.

i: Section 4. "Such applicant !:

(: following license fee: For five {:
/: (5) and up to twenty-five (25) an {:
/: additional fee of SO cents per {:

..'... '...'.'.. 900:
The wording of the above section
of the milk ordinance which passed
its final reading at the city council
meeting on Monday night and which
became effective when the mayor at
tached his signature yesterday, is the
subject of considerable speculation
among the city employees and those
who have looked closely into the or
dinance and noted the peculiar word
ing "for all other persons an annual
fee of S."
If the wording of the above section
is to be taken literally it seems to be
up to every citizen of Grand Forks
to dig up an annual fee of IS.
DR.. Woutat, city health officer, to
whom all credit for the passage of
the ordinance must be given, stated
to Evening Times representative this
afternoon that the sentence in ques-
ton ought not to cause worry to any
one. He said that perhaps it might
have been worded more clearly, but
that 1t referred to persons, not own
ing cows but engaged in selling milk.
This will not hit many in this city
as there are not more than one or two
stores or establishments that sell milk.
