tion Is Missing g,

Albany, N. Y, Sept. Ex-senator
Wagner, Senator Elon Brown, Re-
publican leader, and Judge Willard
Bartlett of the court of appeals, the
committee appointed to draft the rules
of procedure in the impeachment trial
Of Governor Sulzer, practically have
completed their work.
Apart from the adoption of these
rules interest in the proceedings was
focused on the expected legal battle
over the right of the challenged sena-
tors to sit as members of the court.
The defense contends that the men,
bers of the Frawley committee, hav-
ing uncovered the evidence against
the governor, should not be permitted
to assume the dual role of prosecutor
and judge. BY unanimous vote of the
entire court the senators in question
were declared entitled to their seats.

CORPORATION TAX IS UNFAIR
Duluth Judge Asserts Law Imposes
Burden on Cities.

Burden on Cities.
The gross earnings tax system in
effect In this state, which practical
~ exempts railroads and other cor
porations to which it applies from
the payment of special assessments
for public improvements, is unjust
to the municipalities of the state and
unfair to general taxpayers in cities
with terminal facilities, according to
an opinion handed down by Judge
Bert Fesler in the St. Louis county
district court at Duluth.
Judge Fesler's opinion follows his
decision of an appeal taken by the

The court holds that the railroad
company, under strict interpreta.

The return of the aged former pres

and there are some who confidently
predict that Porfirio Diaz again will
be president of Mexico. The more
conservative. though, think that Gen.

his uncle, if he returns, will act only
as his nephew's adviser, and refuse all
official recognition.
