lished in Duluth should pay taxes
to the state and not to the city,
under the terms of this decision.
The income OF these publications
and of all the other enterprises
conducted for gain comes, not ex-
clusively from residents of the city,
but from people living in all parts
of the state, and beyond the borders
of the state. II the fact that the
telephone company derives a por-
ton of its income from other parts
of the state than Duluth serves to
exempt it from taxation here then
the same condition should make
the local business concerns amen
able to the same process. If this
decision is to stand, Duluth bust
ness concern could be made to pay
gross earnings tax direct 70 the
state and avoid paying taxes to the
city and county On their real pro-
perty. The legislature, if this
decision is sustained, can constitu-
tionally require this and deprive
the city and county of its revenue.
The case will be carried to the
court as a last. resort, said Mr..
Halden. Il believe / am right
and that the supreme court will say
l am. Win or lose, it is necessary
to reach final decision as to the
meaning and intent of the law and

thoroughly commercial test of the
rock, and the result will be watched
with great interest by mining men
Mining men and the general public
are slow to accept news about. gold
properties, and especially in an iron
district, where an early gold ex-
citement has long since been almost
forgotten. If the North American
rock proves commercially valuable
for gold. the value of Vermilion
properties generally will be en-
HANGED, and search for the yellow
metal will be resumed with new
ardor. According to the assays of
the North American gold bearing
rock the company if it instails
machinery suited to the extraction
of the metal, should make good.
The shaft which is being
sunk for the purpose of hosting
iron ore is going down in the gold
bearing rock.

UPH0LDS OLD LAW
Judge Dibbel Makes Sweep.
ing Decision.

The gross earnings tax law Of
1897, which provides for the taxa.
ton of telephone companies under
the gross earnings system, was
constitutional at the time it was
passed and has not been repealed
by any subsequent act of the legis-
lature of constitutional amendment,
telephone companies thus being
exempted from taxation by local
authorities, according to a decision
handed down by Judge Dibbel in
district court in the action
brought by st. Louis county to
enforce the payment of taxes
assessed against the Duluth Tele-
phone company OH its Duluth
property, which was placed on the
tax rolls by County Auditor Odin
Halden.
The decision is far reaching
and the outcome of the case is be-
ing watched by other cities in the
state.
In making up the tax rolls for
the past wear, Auditor Halden
placed the Duluth property of the
two telephone companies on the
tax roll, claiming that the tax
amendment of 1906 had taken the
place of the constitutional provision
under which the law of 1897 was
passed and the taxation of tele-
phone companies under the pro-
visions of the old law was not the
proper proceeding. The telephone
companies refused to pay the taxes
levied against them and the county
took thematter into court to enforce
payment or obtain a decision on
the point.
Auditor Holden In discussing
the decision said: "If,this decision
is supported by the higher courts,
practically every business in the
city should pay taxes to the state
and not to the city," continued

"The Night Rider"

The young district attorney, Ben
Stevens, in 1.-The Night Rider" the
sensational play which will be seen
here on next Thursday night at the
Grand, is a man who has the courage
of his convictions. He has entered the
political arena in order to rid the
country of the corruption institute by
an organized band of night riders, a
band of men of wealth and education,
and who have not hesitated to buy up
Judges and juries so that they manage
to escape the punishment which would
otherwise befall them.
When the play opens We find young
Ben Stevens, candidate for the office
of district attorney, with the powerful
opposition of the night rider faction
arrayed aginst him. We also find him
as he accepted sutton for the hand Of
the young and beautiful daughter Of
Judge Andrews, a man in the pay of
the notorious night rider gang, which
is determined to control the output Of
the entire tobacco crop.
According to their standard OF
morals it is deemed expedient to bride
the young candidate so that if he sue
eeeded in being elected he would be-
come another tool for the night rider
machine. This is attempted with an
offer of fifty thousand dollars in cash
and the hand of the Judges daughter,
young Stevens sweetheart, otherwise
her fathers failure to sanction the
marriage and his financial ruin i:
theatrened as the price of his dis
obedience to the dictates of corrupt
party politics.
The story of how he marries the cir
of his choice in spite of opposition, re
sists bribery, and triumphs ultimatel.
over the night riders makes tn
character of Stevens one of the mos
interesting and inspiring seen o
the American stage in the past decade

AS entertainers the members of the
Bachelor Girls club of Sheldon are in
a class by themselves. At least that
is the opinion of the crusty and crab
bed bachelors of Sheldon who came
from their retirement Wednesday even
ing, Feb. %, long enough to enjoy the
hospitality of their fair friends. The
guests assembled at the Eastman home
shortly after o'clock. where they
were welcomed by the bachelor girls
who looked charming, >arrayed in the
old fashioned costumes of George
Washington's time, and each wearing
a wreath of forget me- nots. the club
flower, entwined in her hair. The rooms
were prettily decorated with bunting
and flags in honor of the father of
his country. Various amusements fol-
lowed, and at 10 o'clock a pilgrimage
was made to the shrine of Washington

ing route, eventually winding up at
the Cullen home where the shrine
was located. When the binders were
removed dazzling sight met their
eyes. A table, beautifully decorated
with candelabras and flags and with
red, white and blue steamers leading
from each corner to the ceiling. was
placed in the center of the dining
room. The guests were soon seated,
and enjoyed banquet that exceeded
their fondest hopes. After the banquet
the bachelors were called upon to show
cause why they were not married. It
was rather an embarrassing situation,
but the bachelors rose to the occasion
and acquitted themselves nobly. The
company then withdrew to the parlor
where the ladies touchingly sang that
fateful song. Goodnight, and the bach
elors taking the hint, departed, but
not without giving three cheers for the
bachelor girls and voting them the
best entertainers they had ever met.

ZOE LENT.

In so-called society social func.
tions assume simpler character dur
ing Lent and many ovcrworked ma
irons who live in grand whirl of din
ners, balls and teas are recuperating
for the summer season by resting at
southern resorts.
During The next few weeks sewing
circles will spring UP like mushrooms
and really surprising quantity o.
work will be turned out for the benefit
of charities and friendly aii' all
over the country.
A coterie Of young matrons have
formed themselves into what they call
the Doll Brigade" and they are each
pledged to dress FIVE dolls during
Lent with clothes that will come off.
An interested set of young men have
promised to provide each doll with a
trunk and next Christmas these self
same dollies are going to a certain
ward in large city hospital that bears
the placard "Incurable."
Perhaps we all do not keep Lent,
but any season of the year that, causes
this sometimes apparently selfish world
to stop and think how best to help
others is good thing.
