PROVIDING
PARKS FOR
THE FUTURE

Salem already has one of the pret-
tiest little natural parks in the
world-Marion Square. The mag
nihcent fr trees are not equalled
anywhere. but outside of the trees
It has no attraction, and in the very
nature of things II can never have
much In the way of flowers or
shrubbery on account of the tower
ing trees and dense shade. II also
has the Wilson Park, pretty enough
but still small and inadequate to
the future Salem. Steps are now
being taken to acquire further parks
that will be much needed when Sa-
lem gets IT, growth and that will
certainly be appreciated by those
who come after us and who enjoy
ing the gifts we leave them will have
occasion to remember with thank
fulness the wisdom and the kindness
of their forebearn.
The following from the Portland
Telegram Monday is TO the point:
'To build a city without adequate
park facilities in the modern sense
Is like building a house without a
bathroom-it denotes low-grade
progress. That spirit Of a so-called
business order which conceives that
investment in parks is waste Of
money NUT assume that the commu-
nifty which contemplates or has pro-
vided for the investment Is on the
stand that Il entertains nei-
ther the prospect of civic develop
ment nor OF civic pride. Il is a view
that is sordid and shortslghted.
Consider any city which Is noted
for rs park system, like Chicago. or
Cleveland, or Boston, or Philadel-
phia or Los Angeles. Does anyone
believe that In any OF these cities
there IS a sentiment worthy OF the
name which holds that there has
been an over investment In his par
ticular? Common knowledge sup
plies an emphatic negative, which a
canvass OF actual opinion would
make overwhelming
There Is more TO be accomplished
by municipal energy and municipal
wealth than TO encourage the build
ing of businefs blocks and the de-
velopment OF industry and com
morce These we have as the funda-
mentals OF civic existence. and from
what is derived from these there
arises the duty TO make the city llv-
able and enjoyable 10 the humblo {
and the poorest within It's confines.
We talk as II the man Of wealth
aud of great business activity were
the only fellow who footed the bills.

WHY THE CHERRY
KING WAS MIFFED

There are some epeculations why
Judge Galloway appeared to be kind
of mined, and did not want to talk
TO the ladies as much as no generally
does. Every man by the name OF
Blu Is known TO be a ladies' man,
and the judge Is no exception. He
In some way ran against the hard fact
that there wa another Bill In town
--Bill Anderson-who has a bigger
stand-in with the ladies than has the
eminent judge OF the court OF equity.
The two bills are jealous of each

Cincinnati.-With rumors on the
lips of many persons in touch with
railroad affairs in this city that the
shortage in the financial department
of the Big Four railroad as developed
through the alleged defalcations or
Charles l.. Warmer, deposed local
treasurer of the road, may reach as
high as 100000, Interrogation OF
Warmer by his superiors and others
was resumed. An official statement
confirmed reports that the shortage
would probably amount to at least
100000.
The officials of the road are astound-
ed at the revelations made by War
riner and are pressing him for addi-
money, the sums alleged to have been
paid by him on account of blackmail
and in improbable speculation still
leaving large sum unaccounted for.
Warmer insists that he has not a
dollar left in the world, having trans
fered to the railroad company his
home and all other property includ-
ing the stocks of the various corpo-
rations in which he was interested.
Warriner Cody Confessed.
Just a week ago today the general
financial and auditing officers of the
New York Central system were star
tied to receive from Warmer in the
Office of Mr.. Harris at the Grand Gen.
trail station in New York full con-
fession of his shortage. He had been
taken there from Cincinnati by Vice
President John Christensen, head of
the auditing department of the Van
derbilt lines, accompanied by Mr..
Hackney, the Big Four's chief counsel
at Cincinnati. The Saturday before,
or on Oct 80, Warmer told Vice
President Christensen in the Big Four
offices in Cincinnati that he was a de-
faulter "for very large amount"

TO SUPREME COURT
CASES INVOLVING MINNESOTA
GROSS EARNINGS LAW FINALLY
ARE CONSIDERED.
GREAT NORTHERN IS THE FIRST
Validity of Contract Of Territory OF
Minnesota With Predecessor
of Great Northern Is In
volved.

Washington, d. G. - After waiting
the entire week for an opportunity,
Minnesota attorneys were able to pre-
sent the Minnesota gross earnings
taxes cases to the United States SUI
preem court. The Great Northern
case was called by Chief Justice Full
er about IL minutes before time for
adjournment, and w. R. Begg, at
torney for the Great Northern road,
spent 10 minutes in briefly outlining
the case. The arguments will be TAX
en- up again Monday morning.
Attorney General Simpson and Geo.
w. Peterson, assistant, will divide the
time for the state when Mr.. Begg has
concluded his argument. The court
exhibited a keen interest in the case
when it was brought up. Mr.. Begg
stated the position of the Great Nor
thern to be substantially this: That
the company operates the road built
under the contract made by the ter
ritory of Minnesota in 1857 with the
old Minnesota and Pacific.
This provided for per cent tax,
and the company has refused to COM
ply with the per cent tax law passed
in Minnesota in 1903. The case now
before the court involves only the
taxes for 1905, the one per cent in
dispute amounting to 100000.
The state of Minnesota has total
of over 100000 at stake in the case,
however, representing the disputed
taxes for 1905 and succeeding years
in the Great Northern and Chicago
Great Western cases.

DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
Citizens of Mankato Will Vote Again
on Commission Plan.

Mankato.-The charter commission
held meeting and decided to remodel
the new charter recently defeated by
2S votes and to submit it again. The
changes are not expected to be radi-
cal, as the commission voted unani-
mously to retain the commission fea-
ture, which is considered the strong
point in the charter. A subcommittee
will draft the amendments and report
at a meeting to be held later. Last
week the commission held an open
meeting and listened to suggestions of
citizens who were not satisfied with
the last new charter. All favored the
commission plan with notifications.
The city council Monday night sold
$4,000 of waterworks refunding
bonds, to mature in twenty years, and

en- or more bids were submitted, but

Definite Ruling Expected.

The United States supreme court,
when it finally passes upon the Min
nesota gross-earnings tax cases, will
decide definitely, it is believed, whe-
Their or not the charters issued for the
Territory of Minnesota to the Great
Northern and Great Western main
lines, contracted away the states right
to levy future taxes. Although these
charters have been the obpect of form
er decisions in the Minnesota courts,
the attorneys for the state declare
that the real question of contractual
rights has never been passed upon.
The territory of Minnesota granted
a charter to the Minnesota and Pacific
railroad in 1857. The rights given by
this charter are supposed to have de-
scended through many foreclosures
and assignments to the st. Paul and
Pacific and later to the st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Manitoba Railway Com
pany. from which the Great Northern
now leases it's main line. The Great
Northern claims that the territory
bound the future state to per cent
gross-earnings tax on this line, and
refuse to pay the 4 per cent tax now
in effect. The state of Minnesota
claims that the Great Northern has no
contract that prohibits the state from
exercising it's full taxing powers.
The gross-earnings tax cases are
brought to the United States supreme
court by the railroads from the Mime
sofa supreme court, where the rights
of the state were upheld. In the orig
inal action of the district court of
Ramsey county, the right of the Great
Northern to a per cent. tax and the
Great Western to 2 per cent tax
were declared valid, and these deci-
sions were reversed by the state SUI
preme court. The Great Western
claims to have a charter granted to
the Minnesota and Northwestern roads
in 1854, and amended in 1856 provid-
ing for a 2 per cent tax. This case
is submitted to the United States SUI
preme court on briefs and will prob
ably not be argued.
