CUMULATIVE VOTING.

In view of the interest in the pro-
posed cumulative voting" at the
forthcoming election for commission
ers, the opinion of Attorney Phil
brick. published elsewhere in this
issue will be of general interest. Mr..
Philbrick holds, with many learned
lawyers, that cumulative voting is
not constitutional without an express
constitutional permission, and that
that part of the commission law that
seeks to permit cumulative voting
is unconstitutional and void. His
views are sustained by supreme court
decisions in other states.
e@ There is a difference of opinion,
therefore, as to the legality of cumu-
lative voting. There is and can be
no difference of opinion as to the
legality of the ordinary method Of
voting, that is, voting once for a

BOOZE" Everywhere Is the same de-
mand on those seeking positions Of
any responsibility. Temperance Is
desirable in all things. The crouch,
the glutton, the gamester, the religi-
GUS fanatic, are. all lessening their
efficiency and limiting their oppor-
tunities. A speciality is. made Of the
booze fighter, because he is more
numerous, but just as surely as men
specify "No BOOZE" when they wish
to hire a man, is the fact that any
sort of intemperance or misbehav-
ior is injuring mans chance Of
progress and profitable employment.

proof that the land Is worth a fixed

A more serious question than that
of printing the label Of the Typo
graphical union on the ballots has
developed In the Fargo bond cleo
ton, and that is the voting of $780,
900 of bonds without designating
how much of the issue would be used
for lighting plant and how much
for a system of water works. II
would seem on the face of it that
this is a detail much more likely t.
invalidate the bond issue than the
other. The supreme court in tho
capital commission case several years
ago held that the legislature coulf
not make an appropriation for two
purposes and fail to specify how
much was for one and how mucr
was for the other. The capitol com
mission bill provided for the con
struction of a state capitol and an
executive mansion and the court held
that to make the law valid the leg
islature should have specified how
much of the sum was for one build
ing and how much for the other I'm:
der this decision it would seem thai
bond issue for two purposes and
failing to specify how much was fol
one and how, much for the other
would be open to serious question
as to its validity, and inasmuch as
bonds have to be sold after being
voted, it Is necessary that no ques
ton shall exist as to their legality
If they find a purchaser.

In the sales of bonds through the
state it is noted that local banks and
interests have become buyers, and
that bond Issues are being held In
the state instead of, as formerly,
going to eastern financial centers
This is a sign Of the financial growth
of the state. An agricultural state
is pretty we'll situated in financial
way, since its product is always
saleable at a stable value and in
years of fair crop production there
is a large influx of money to the
state. Much of this, in pioneer
times, goes back again to the east
ern centers, in exchange for goods
of various kinds, machinery, and ar
ticles of manufacture which are not
produced, and the sums available In
the banks for investment represent
largely the savings of the people and
the excess of the money received for
crops over the moneys paid out for
manufactured goods and necessities.
1t is a good thing the state can A.
nance its own obligations and keep
interest payments in the state. pro-
vided that the development Of the
state is not retarded by lack of avail
able capital. The state itself has an
immense sum invested in farm mort
cages and bonds, and that the banks
are going into the bond market
shows that the days of short time
emergency loans on doubtful secur~
ity at high rates of interest are pass
ing away, and the finances of the
people of the state getting on a surer
basis. Interest rates in the west are
also coming down with the perma'

1t seems, therefore, that those
voters who desire to be sure their
votes will count and be effective
will and should vote only once for
each of the four candidates for COM

and even probable that their ballots
may not be finally counted, II the

The local optlon bln 10 meetInG

The local option bill is meeting
with much opposition In the house
and II is freely predicted that 1t may
be put to sleep in one of the house
committees. One argument against
the bill Is that the state has laws SUI
ficient to close the saloons whenever
the people of a town or city wish to
enforce them. This is true In the
law which gives boards Of trustees or
city councils the right to refuse IL
censes to any one. and without such
license It Is unlawful to conduct the
business. Under this law the people
are able 10 control the business and
IN places where they wish TO close
the saloons they will have no difieul-
~ in doing 50. The law seems TO be
satisfactory and there Is really no
call for a change.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY
Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. c., March II
downward revision, maximum and
minimum provisions which impose an
average maximum duty 20 per cent in
excess of the present tariff, and M
merous provisions by which it is es-
tlmated that the revenue to the gov
eminent will be increased from $40
100000 to $45,0O0.000 are the salient
features of the new tariff bill, which
was introduced in the house by Rep
resentatives Serene E. Payne. chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee. 1t is estimated that the bill will
raise s300,000,000 year in revenue.
The measure was at once referred to
the committee on ways and means. A
resolution to print 10000 copies of the
bill was passed. The recommends
tons made by President Taft that an
inheritance tax be provided and that
limited amount of tobacco and sugar
be admitted free from the Philippines
are included in the bill. The measure
also provides for the issuance of Pan
anna canal bonds to the amount of

issue of treasury certlncates, me
amount being increased from $lVV'-
0O0, 900 to s250,OO0,O00.
While there is no duty imposes up
on coffee, tea is taxed cents Wnen
imported from the country where It IS
produced and 9 cents when from
other than the producing country.
The internal revenue tax on clgarets
is materially increased, while the tax
on beer and whisky is undlsturDeo.
A cut of so per cent is made IN the
steel and lumber schedules. Hioes'
tallow. cottonseed oil, and works OF
art more than twenty years OLD are
placed on the free list.
The tariff ON boots and shoes Is re-
duced 40 per cent, and on otner
leather manufactures in proportion.
The pottery schedule remains about
the same, but the duties on WINDOW
and plate glass of the smaller sizes
are increased, while the duties on the
larger sizes are reduced. The tarln
on wool of the first and second class,
used principally in clothing, is not
disturbed. but on wool of the third
class, known as carpet wool, 1t IS re-
duced on the cheaper grades. The IN
he-itance tax provision of the bill IS
similar to the New York state law.
II provides a tax of 5 per cent on ali
inberitances over $500 that are col
lateral inheritances or IN Wnlch
strangers are the legatees. In cases
of direct inheritance the taxes pre-
scribed are: On $4,000 to $1O0,0Oo,

per cent, and on those over $500, 600
3 per cent. It is estimated that
$40. 100000 annually will be derived
from this tax Senator Hale, CHAIR
man of the republican caucus, IS
among those who find the bill oblec-
tionable. sTt absolutely murders the
wood pulp and paper industry IN our
state. and we shall resist the change
with the utmost possible vigor. Sem
ator Hale authorize this statement
but while he found many other feat
ures of the bill Objectionable from
his point of view, he declined to spec
ify them. He predicted that the oll1
would be before congress three
months or more.
