FARGO SEMINARY
Directors of Oak Grove Luther
an Institution Held Import
ant Meeting

Fargo, N. D.. March From the &C
ton taken at the meeting of the board
of trustees of the institution last ev-
ening, it is probable that the near flu
ture will see another building and
many improvements added to the Oak
Grove Ladies' Lutheran seminary.
The matter was thoroughly discus
sed at the meeting of the stockhold-
ers held last evening and a commit
tee was appointed TO thoroughly in

the needs of the seminary and the

would supply those needs.

gelstad. Cooperstown: Miss Georgina

the next meeting.
The seminary has an enrolment
OF over one hundred and its affairs
are in a prosperous condition. Be
ing the only exclusive women's edu-
cational institution in this part of
the country it is thought that its fu-
ture will necessitate increased facil-
tiles and that it will be advisable to
install them in the light Of a finan-
cial proposition.

tees held last evening:

MAY CARRY TP.

Fargo. N. D., March 12.-It is more
than likely that the case Of the First
National bank of Casselton against
Cass county, involving the right Of
the board of col2ty commissioners,
sitting as board>of equalization, to
take up individual assessments, will
be carried to the supreme court by
the states attorney. 1t will be re-
membered that this case was argued
last week in the district court and
decided in favor of the plaintiff, sus-
tanning their contention that the
county equalizers have no power to
take up individual assessments in
any form.
This question has been raised at
various points in the state but has
never been carried to the supreme
court for ruling. and It is to decide
the matter for all times that It will
be appealed in this instance.

XIII sinks BIII.
The house refused to stand for a bill,
which would tend to limit the length Of a
freight train. even though its railroad CON-
mittee had threshed " over for a couple
Of weeks and IT'S committee Of the whole
had recommended It for passage, so the
Sink bill, which limited the number Of cars
in a freight train 20 sixty-five was voted
to death. 1t received Il favorable votes
and 81 we're recorded against It.
The death of this bill was a personal
victory to a great extent for Clark of
Richardson. The bill when introduced was
said by it's author to be a measure recon-
mended and demanded by the railroad en-
ployes of the state. Mr.. Clark insisted the
bill had been changed to, a bill for the
shippers and therefore was not the measure
demanded by the employees and to sub
stantiste claim he introduced a measure,
which he produced evidence to show was
the one favored by the employees. Mr..
Clark made a fight against the bill in
the committee OF the whole. which caused
Taylor of Custer to remark that he was
forgetting his campaign pledges or words
to that effect and Clark iretaliated by
shouting out the short, and ugly word.
Sink and his friends were busy all day
hustllng up votes and Clark was not idle,
as shown by the vote. Clark will now
push his employees bill in place of the
measure he killed.

Speech of senator brown.

While l believe in the wisdom of a tariff
which will protect American labor and eapi-
tai, l do not come to argue the economic
merits Of that policy nor to demonstrate
the folly and the fallacy of the contrary
doctrine. l come to commend, and / hope
to encourage this representative body of
Americas business men in their stand
for an intelligent and scientific basis on
which congress may determine what duties
shall be levied on the worlds importations.
/ For a century and longer, the industries
of this country have struggled under duties
levied, first, on, a theory of protection and
then, on a theory of revenue, the changes
being made to meet the demands of popular
sentiment; but, during all these changes,
the schedules have ben at all times fixed
and determined by politicians, sometimes
with the help of statesmen, but always
without the help of. experts. The marvel
Is that the results have been so satisfac-
tory. l do not use the word politician
in an offensive sense. l do not underestimate
either the ability or the patriotism or the
statesmanship of the men who constructed
our present tariff law.

FIGHT OVER LINCOLN oHARTFR
Not Unanimous on the Commission
Plan.

From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Feb. IS-Cspecial.)-The Lin
coin charter will be discussed tomorrow
night before the committee on cities and
towns. Lincoln people are somewhat d.
vided over the proposed plan and Mayor
f.. w. Brown is openly fighting the pro-
posed enactment. II Is probable the hear
ing will be a lively session.
The new charter places the control of the
city in the hands Of a commission of five
members, of whom the mayor shall be one.
The mayor is deprived of the power of
veto. The salary of the commissioners is
placed at 5000 a year each, with tho idea
Of securing persons who are qualified to
act and are responsible business men.
Among those already mentioned for the
place are: W.. e. Hardy, president of the
Commercial club: City Clerk Thomas Pratt,
City Attorney John M. Stewart. Council
men Everett Sawyer and Bert George.
Mayor Brown says that the plan will
result in an increase In taxation and cites
the fact that Des Moines is paying a tax
per capita now of S11.S1. while the per
capita of Lincoln is $3.50. He says that of
the 1907 tax 80 per cent has already been
collected and 81 per cent of the 1903 tax
is paid during the four months time in
which II has been possible to turn the
money. These conditions. he thinks, show
that the people are satisfied with the pres
emit system and have the money to pay
the taxes levied.

Look Il COnstItional Convention.
The senate today took action favorable
to a constitutional convention and the only
opposition on the floor came from Senator
Howell OF Douglas county. Senator Ran
som was In the chair and Senator Howell
consulted with him during the debate.
Senator King explained the state has out
grown the constitution under which II has
been acting since 1875 and 1t was time the
fundementaf Law be changed to meet new

in force without a change in the consti-
tuition. He thought the methods of amend

Senator Brown favored the convention,
when Senate Howell asked why the re-
publicans had not provided for a conve
ton. King answered that the state was
now out of debt and could afford to hold
one. Bartoe said fourteen amendments had
been adopted and others could be also.
Tanner suggested the reason the republic
cans needed a convention now was because
O democrat had been elected governor. and
as he was the head OF numerous boards,
referred to as needing change.
1t was brought out that IL takes an
unaimous agreement of political parties to
pass an amendemtn 1.-THE democrats
