There was no restraint to his

subsided he asked:
What did you do wiss the tomb

Sefry's look of horror was a re-

have been better not to say that. But
Old Baumgartner had tremendous
aplomb.
''Nefor mind-nefer mind. Mebby

knew the store clerk would be certain
TO think of 1t.

leaped up.

Owned By Wall Street

The New York World on March Both
said "The Government of the United
States was practically sold to Wall
Street in 1885," The passage of the
Aldrich currency bill last Friday in
the U. S. Senate by a vote of AZ to 16
shows strongly Wall Street still owns
the Senators and the vote in the House
will show who be cared for by Wall
Street contributors at the next election.
The bill is purely in the interest of
Wall Street bankers to allow them to
unload some of their undigested
securities.
Country banks do not own State,
county, railroad or municipal bonds.
the banks cannot afford to hold them
when they can loan every dollar they
have at 6 and per cent.
AS passed the bill provides for not
more than $500, 900 900 of emergency
to be issued to national banks upon
deposit by them of State county and
municipal bonds, to be approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury. Banks are
to pay for this emergency circulation ]
per cent a month in the first four
mouth. National banks shall pay not
less than l per cent ON Government
deposits.
The correspondent to the North
American says.
DOMINATE BY WALL STREET
The lesson taught by the passage of
the Aldrich bill is that the Senate of
the United States is dominated by the
New York financial interests, and that
SO long as these interests control, leg
islation affecting banking and currency
will be of a kind to increase the power
of the few men whose grip upon the
industrial, financial and transportation
corporations of the county will be
strengthened by the Aldrich bill.

Foreigners Taxed Here

The State Supreme Court IN Monday
filed an important opinion on the
inheritance tax law. They decided
that the stock of a New Jersey corpOr-
alton is subject to an inheritance tax
here, regardless of the place of residence
of it's owner. The owner of the stock in
this test S lived in England.
The British some years ago decided
a somewhat similar case on the income
tax law.
The subject owned stock in a Chicago
brewery, yet the income from an
American industry was taxable in
England.

Of interest in the legislature this week
were the governors special message
urging the adoption of certain impor-

and little legislative business was
transacted. In the afternoon the house
and senate Republicans went into
joint conference ON the subject Of adj
journment. Senator Robbins Of Bur-
lington was in the chair. MI. Martin
was insistent that the conference
pledge itself to keeping off final ad-
journment until a comprehensive pub
lie utilities bill was passed. He want
ed to bring in other bills, but was
ruled out of order. The cOnferees
would not pledge themselves to pass
this measure.
Mr.. Avis offered a resolution calling
for final adjournment April 9, and it
was adopted by a vote of 81 to Is. The
conference went on record as favoring
the passage of the conference civil
service measure provided the house
and the senate conferees on this meas
ure could get together. Then the con-
ference adjourned with nothing bind
