Will Re-aSSeSS
Eastwood Park Lots

S. j. La Due appeared for the coun-
Gil Monday night, in behalf of the
residents living along East Fourth
street, Eastwood park and asked for
relief from the payment of excessive
grading taxes. The work of grading
the streets along that street was act
ually $14.S2 per lot, yet each lot was
assessed at $92 each. Mr.. LaDue
explained that the lot owners were
willing to stand the exact expense of
grading their lots plus the average
for grading the side street, which
would amount to forty some dollars.
The council is of the opinion that
thse lots were assessed too high, and
others too low, and will make an
effort thru the grading commission
to re-adjust the assessments Of that
portion of the city. VIM. E. Dunnell,
a resident of Eastwood Park was ap-
pointed member of the grading COM
mission to fill the unexpired term Of
L. A. Larson, who resigned. H. E.
Wheeler and ]. E. Mo6oane are other
members of the board. The special
assessment is to be returned to the
commission and they will be asked to
complete the work by finding the
benefit accruing to- each lot, when
the matter will be brot before the
council for final action. ...

Horse Thief Tries
To Escape

Frank Duff, alias Barr, the Can
adian horse thief who was captured
in this city by Deputy Steinhofer,
made a desperate attempt to escape
from the Jail at Moosejaw, Sask. He
secured a short iron bar and with it,
broke the lock to his cell. Taking
his slicker over one arm and the bar
in his hand, he slipped down the cor
ridor in his stocking feet. As he
neared the door, the guard saw him,
and grappled with him. The guard
was struck on the head a glancing
blow by Duff but overpowered the
thief and returned him to his cell.
Duff has been sentenced seven years
for horse stealing and breaking jail.

In many localities the i~ntolera-
BILE heat of the summer days,
preceded and followed by almost

Hendersonville boasts of the
largest department store in the
state "a department store in ev-
cry sense of the word, where the
visitor may satisfy his every want
from a needle to a carriage-the
great establishment of the Wilson
Mercantile Company.
One is first attracted to this
store by its gigantic windy =
said to be the largest in the state
which are usually filled with a
most attractive display of varied
articles most tastefully arranged.
AS you enter the store itself and
the enormous proportions of the
building is realized, and you be-
gin to comprehend the great
stock carried, you feel sure that
it is the largest department store
you have seen for long time and
wonder that a town of five thous-
and inhabitants is able to sup
port it.
Possibly Mr.. C. E. Wilson's
motto, I'VE sell everything and
sell it for less," may explain the
existence of this department store
in Hendersonville. Certain it is,
they sell practically everything,
and a constantly increasing bust
ness would indicate that Mr..
Wilson has discovered the secret
of selling for less"
Another method of MI. Will

toners extremely low prices is to
buy solid car lots of certain arti-
cles, and this is a very common
occurrence at this store. Just
the other day he received solid
cars of each of the following:
Stoves, ranges, furniture, chairs.
doors, sash. buggies. wagons and
fertilizers. Which certainly is
buying some!

THE "PORK BARREL" DECISION

THE law enacted by the 1909
Minnesota legislature, appropri-
ating 100000 from the general
fund for road improvement, has
been declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court, all judges
concurring. The court holds
that the law is in violation of
section 5 of article 9 of the con-
stitution, forbidding the state to
be a party to the carrying on of
works of internal imrovement,
and in it's opinion public high
ways are works of internal i'm
provement. The opinion also
holds that executive officers of
the state can be sued. The only
way for the legislature to appro-
pirate money for the improve
ment of it's highways is provided
for in the goodroads amendment
to the constitution, this section
contemplating the levying of a
general tax not to exceed one
third of a mill, the proceeds to
60 into the internal improve
ment fund and to be expended
by the State Highway Commis-
sion.
The effect of the decision will
be to hold up somet road work
that has been planned and some
that has been begun. But the
decision will inure to the bene-
fit of the state and will result in
securing better highways free
from the taint of possible polite
al manipulation. The objection
able thing in the so-called pork
barrel" law lay in the fact that
much of the money appropriated
in the bill was to be expended
by the members of the legisla-
ture as they saw fit. Anyone
conversant with the situation,
could by even casual reading
of the law, detect plenty of
instances where this money
could be used to build up a
political machine. The legis-
lature could not have been Who'll
ly ignorant of this fact,a legisla-
ture which, by the way, stood
none too high in the confidence of
the people. The supreme court
decision eliminates all possibili-
ty of the expenditure of public
funds to further private political
and thus makes for
cleaner political conditions and
the resultant advancement of the
peoples interests. Well done,
gentlemen of tn e Minnesota
court.
