URGES DIVISION
OF MINNESOTA

Duluth, Mimi. April Minnesota
would be divided up nto two states, one
to be called North Minnesota and the
other South Minnesota, IL Rev. r. J.
Mooney, pastor of the Holy Apostles
Episcopal church at West Duluth, had
his way.
"The passage of the tonnage tax
measure it unjust" he says, "and is but
a bugle call to every city in northeast
ern Minnesota to agitate for a divis-
on Of the state In South Minnesota and
North Minnesota. This has Deen done
by other states. We are now begin
ming to see by the course of events
that this is only matter of self-pres-
ervation to all citizens living in this
part Of the state.
"This is a big issue, and zone from
which the politicians should be elimi-
mated. 1t is for the citizen to decide. :
Rev. Mooney said that he would
come out publicly for state division
and urge it at every opportunity that
was given to him.

ing three times and crushed him be-
yond recognition.
other convicts in the room turned
sick at the sight of the pieces of hu-
man flesh and the dripping blood, and
they were unable to continue their
work. Guards rushed to the scene at
once and it was only with the greatest
difficulty that they succeeded IN re-
storing order.
Fazekas was on trial before Judge
10. B. Lewis of the district court, for
over a week, the mans wife and
daughter being the chief witnesses
against him. The jury returned ver-
dict of guilty and he was sentenced at
once.
The man then began to act as though
insane. crying and weeping like a
child. When locked UP In the county
Jail, he beat his head against the cell
bars, and the police officers had to re-
strain him. 1t was decided to have
him examined as to his sanity, but
later it was concluded that he was
shamming and yesterday he was taken
to the penitentiary. He was put at

JOHNSON UNDECIDED
ON TONNAGE TAX BILL
THERE Is A STRONG PRoBA1IL-
ITY THAT, HE WILL VETO
THE MEASURE.

ST Paul, April 19.-Developments of
the last twelve hours point more
strongly to the probability that Gov.
John :. Johnson may veto the Bjorge
tonnage tax on iron ore.
1t may be that the governor will put
the bill up to the attorney general to
pass on it's constitutionality.
Whether to sign or not to, sign is
the question now up to a. Governor
johnson. At noon today the 81 srnor
was in conference with the members
of the tax commission and is consid-
ering the subject from every possible
point of view.
Protests are pouring in from the iron
range district, urging him t. veto the
bill. Most of them game from the
iron range district, although some
were from the southern part of the
state. Not a single telegram had been
received urging the governor to sign
the bill. .- ..N.
A. c. Weiss, editor of The Duluth
Herald, and Lee Willcutts, collector
of the port of Duluth, are on the
ground in charge of the campaign Of
pressure that is being brought upon
the governor.

CUMMINS FRAMES
INCOME TAX BILL
REPUBLICAN, LEADER WILL
PROBABLY ACCEPT AMEND
MENT TO TARIFF
MEASURE.

Washington, Apri! 19.-That the re-
publican leaders in the senate and
house will ultimately accept an income
tax amendment to the tariff bill is the
impression that is gaining ground
about the capital.
Following the introduction by SEN
ator Bailey of Texas of an income
tax amendment to the bill and the de-
cision of democrats generally to sup
port such an amendment, there is
much gossip afioat about the capitol
corridors that the republicans will
soon declare that Senator .Bailey's
amendment is an appropriation of the
idea of Congressman Stevens of Min
nesota, who before the adjournment of
the last session inaugurated an income
tax movement which met with warm
approval from President Roosevelt.
Various reasons exist for the belief
that the republicans may be forced
to take up with the income tax. One
is that a powerful sentiment for 1t
exists among western republicans.
Senators Cumnins and j Borah and
others from that section have been
working for weeks on the subject. On
Monday Cummins will introduce in
the senate an income tax measure
which will represent ideas on which
western men can unite.
1t is probable that the Cummins bill
will not seek to tax the incomes of
corporations. 1t will proceed on the
theory that in view of the grave legal
difficulties, it is better to tax the in
comes Of individuals alone, particu-
larly since the earnings of corpora
tions largely find their way into the
pockets of individuals and cannot well
escape ultimate taxation.

ALDRICH On
THE TARIFF
Declares Senate Bill VIII Pro.
vide Ample Revenue
OPPOSES The INCOME TAX
SENATE DEBATE ON TARIFF BILL
OPENED TODAY EARLY
EVERY MEMBER OF THE BODY
WAS PRESENT AND SEVERAL
LEADERS WILL REPLY.

Washington, April 1s.--In opening
the debate on the pending tariff bill
today. Senator AIdrich, chairman of
the committee of finance assured the
senate in most positive terms that the
bill reported from the committee on
finance would produce ample revenue
for the government. He suggested
that II by any possibility these esti-
mates should prove to be incorrect,
the duty of congress would be ito
reduce the expenditures and make
them conform to the actual revenue
conditions and not to impose new and
onerous taxes -
Ctt osed to Inennte Tax.
While he did not refer specifically
to any proposition to impose an iS-
come tax, his statement, declaring
that ample revenue may be derived
from other sources, was accepted as
direct opposition to all such proposi-
tions. ..-s
Nearly every senator was present
when Aldrich spoke and most careful
attention was accorded him on both
sides of the chamber. Several leading
senators who desired to reply to Al
drich. deferred, doing SO until they
could carefully study hfs statements.
Two Bills Compared.
On the desk of each senator was a
comparison of the text Of the Dingley
tariff law with the Payne tariff bill
as passed by the house and as amend
ed and reported from the senate COM
nittee on finance. In addition q
statement was furnished each senator
showing the estimated revenues under
the present law compared with the
amended Payne bill.
Aldrich called attention TO these vol
umes in the beginning OF his speech.
The net increase from the customs
over the existing law was estimated at
$11 .s6674s from the Payne bin as
passed by the house and $s.sS4,426 un-
der the bill as reported from the sem
ate committee. s...
Payne and AIdrieh Differ.
In making the estimates the reve-
nues produced in 1905 were used In
attaining a comparison with the house
bill and the revenues for 1907 when
the imports were much larger in ar
irving at a comparison with the pos
sibilfties under the senate bill.
Aldrich believes that 1907 was
normal year, while Representative
Payne. chairman Of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, believes
1906 was the last year when condi-
tions were normal.
