4. AS veterinary surgeon in the cav
airy service of the United States. A
bill now pending before congress to
elevate the standard of the army vet
Urinary surgeon, granting him the
rank, privileges and tenure of Office
of a. commissioned officer, will make
this service much more desirable than
it is at presnt. However, the posi-
ton now pays $500 yearly with per.
quisites.
s. AS state veterinarian. Many
of the states now have state veterina-
rians, and the time is not far distant
when every state in the Union will
have such an official to attend to the
preventable diseases of the animals Of
his particular state.
6. AS a veterinarian to municipal
health boards. Already several of our
larger cities employ veterinarians as;
inspectors of abattoirs, butcher
shops, of milk and dairy products, and
to assist in sanitary work generally.
Besides, some cities require the serv.
ices of veterinarian to care for an
administer to the fire and police
horses of the municipality. AS time
progresses one may look for greater
demand for trained men from this
source. Some of these positions pay
as high as $4,000 annually.
z. AS a stock farm manager. A
number of veterinarians are employed
on stock farms in breeding districts
as managers. A thoroughly capable
man should be able to find remuner-
alive positions open to him in such a
line of work.
8. Practice. For those wishing to
enter upon regular veterinary prac.
tice, desirable locations are still plen.
tiful in many parts of the United
States, in towns, cities and countries
where there are no regular veterina.
rians.
There are three times as many ami.
mails as there are human beings in
the United States. There are ten times
as many doctors of medicine as there
are veterinarians. 1t must seem, then
that, as the country grows older, and
as the value Of our live stock in.
creases, the future must have in store
for the skilled veterinarian an oppor
tInity to succeed in his chosen voca
ton far more favorable than his pro
fessional brother, the practitioner oil

The State Day by Day
BUSY SESSION. OF LEGISLATURE.
Taxation, Primary, Prohibition, Rail
way Rates to Be Considered.

Taxation, Primary, Prohibition, Rail
way Rates to De Considered.
:. One of the most important matters
TO come before the legislature will be
the primary election law, to which va
Tious amendments will be proposed.
The holding of a second senatorial
primary in connection with the gen.
eral election does not meet with gen.
eral favor, and there will be amend.
ments proposed to this and other fea-
lures of the law. There have been
suggestions that the entire primary
law as it's affects state nominations
might be repealed, but it is not proba-
BILE that anything of this kind will be
done.
The government of cities and the
passage of uniform city code is pro-
posed. The commission plan has been
adopted for the government of one
city in the state, and it is likely that
more of them will come under it in
future. But for the present system
of government with mayor and alder.
men will obtain in many of the cities
for years, and many suggestions will
be made looking to the passage of a
uniform and comprehensive city code.
Prohibition will come in for it's
share of attention. An effort will be
made to secure the passage of law
similar to that creating the Office of
temperance commissioner that was
passed at the last session Of the legis-
lature and declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. Efforts will
also be made to have a bill passed
creating a bureau of inspection of
liquor shipped into the state with q
view to stopping the business as far
as possible. Another bill will propose
the repeal of the law which permits
druggists to keep liquor in store and
sell it en- medicinal .afidavits. The
better enforcement of the prohibition
law will afford much material for pro.
posed legislation.
The matter of taxation promises to
develop some important measures.
A permanent tax commission is ia.
.vored by some members.

BY MARTIN ". oDLAND.

1t has been found that the income
of the late q. Summerdahl, wealthy
wholesale dealer of Stockholm, has
for many years been taxed too little.
and the authorities have decided to
levy back tax for the years 1903 to
1907 of 10000 crowns per year. The
tax for last year which was not paid
has been placed at 100000 crowns.
The heirs are inclined to contest the
levy and have offered to settle at a
greatly reduced figure.
The new organ of the Hedvie
Eleonora church in Stockholm, built
by the P. L. Alderman & Lund COM
pany. has recently been tested and
accepted, the committee finding it
perfect in every detail. The organ
is one OF thirty-seven pipes, and has
three manuals and pedal key boards,
with all modern improvements. It
contains one set of pipes, the Choir
Anglais, which no other organ in
Stockholm has, and is in all respects
fine instrument.
There has been considerable in tho
Swedish press of late, about the
waterfall trust" In a recent issue
of a Stockholm paper, Prof. Richert
attempts to clear up the public under
standing of the question by stating
that no such trust is contemplated.
He states that the movement which
gave rise to this idea was simply the
suggestion that national association
be formed to make possible uniform
and just procedure in the granting
of franchises for water power rights,
and the better regulation of the use
of the rivers and lakes. Prof. Richert's
explanation of the matter has met
with both criticism and approval, and
it is safe to say that the question of
the formation of such an association
will be pretty thoroughly discussed.
The leaders in the movement that
was started something over a year
ago to induce Swedes in America to
return to their native land, are not
entirely discouraged by their lack of
success. So far their labors along
this line have shown but little result

en- to settle soon tired Of the cramp-
ed conditions and have again returned
to America, and at the best, only q
small number were induced to take
up their residence in Sweden in spite
Of the active. work of the committee.
The latest move is to interest the
Swedish-American press in encourag.
ing Swedish culture in America; and
the keeping up of Swedish traditions,
in the hopes that such course will
foster love for the old country that
shall eventually lead to the return of
many. But in the meantime, the
holiday excursions to Sweden are
larger than ever, and it is noticeable
I that the visitors never return to
America alone, but are accompanied
! by others who seek opportunities for
lettering themselves in America. The
problem of staying the emigration is
difficult one, and as yet Minister
Lagercrantz and his associates have
not solved the question.

handled 100000 liters of milk.
Emperor William of Germany, has

Some time ago the postal depart

Of reducing the postage on letters be-

to what it is within each country,
and accordingly began negotiations
with the postmaster general of the

ter. But the reply of the postmaster
general was adverse to the reduction,
and, for the present at least, the idea
of making the change has been aband-
oned.
have stated more than once, in
these columns, that the crusade
against liquor has made great prog

count Of this, Norway has imported
less and less wine from France and
Spain, fact which has been noticed
in those wine producing countries
with anything but satisfaction. In
deed, so nettled have the business in
terests of those nations become, that
they threaten to discontinue trade re-
iations with Norway. 1t is reported
that already, by way of retaliation for
the slight to French wine, the bank
OF Norway has been refused a loan of
2O,OOO,OOO crowns at Paris. Should
france and Spain make good their
threat, the effect on Norway's fish and
wood industries would be serious.
