SUSTA|NS GOVERNORS VETO
Upper Branch Of Legislature Refuses
to Pass Two Measures Over Ex-
ecutive's DisapprovaI.

Governor Eberhart's vetoes of the
Minnette telephone and the Nolan
public service corporation bills stand.
The measures failed to muster the
necessary two-thirds in the senate
when an attempt was made to pass
them over the governors veto. The
vote on the NIinnette bill was 80 to
30 against and on the Nolan bill %
for to "a against. The house had pre-
viously passed both bills over the gov.
ernor's veto.
The house waived aside unimpor-
tant bills, passing three of the most
talked Of measures before the legis-
lature. Two of the bills having
passed the senate, by the action of
the house now are up to the governor
for signature. The three bills passed
are:
The Wallace-Fosseen bill, providing
for the abatement of disorderly
houses
The seven-senator bill, proposing a
constitutional amendment limiting the
number of state senators in any coun-
ty to seven.
The Westlake bill, providing for the
licensing of the sale of cigarettes,
and prohibiting their use by minors.
The 2-cent passenger fare bill, al
ready passed by the house, was
passed by the senate with an amend

WOULD HIT THE HILL LINES

Ten Millions at Stake in Taxation
Issue.
Ten million dollars in taxes can be
collected each year from !he rail-
roads in this state in addition to
the present gross earnings tax if the
courts should decide that the stocks
and bonds of other companies owned
by Minnesota corporations are tax
able.
Under a legislative resolution passed
at the extra session last June the. tax
commission was instructed to ascer-
tain the amount of these holdings and
in turn it has asked the attorney gen.
eral whether an ad valorem tax can
be collected on them. If he is of the
opinion this property is taxable the
matter will be fought out in the
courts
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific would be the principal lines af-
fected. Between them they own $685.
100000 of the stocks and bonds of 9TH
er lines. The holdings of other COM
panies are insignificant in comparison.
Taxing this at the current ad valorem
rate of 3 per cent would bring in
$10,000,000 annually. It might also BE-
possible to compel. payment of the
tax for three years back, making a
total of $30,00O,0O0.
The attorney general has begun a
study of the authorities, but it will be
some months before he can submit an
opinion. The property involved con-
sists chiefly of the holdings of the
Hill Minnesota lines in the Burlington,

John D.O'Brien, one of the most prom

His death occurred at Fort Smelling,
near the street car waiting station.
No acquaintance was with him at the
time and none of his family know how
he arrived at the fort, but it is
thought that he might have gone up
the river in his motorboat.
He left his home in the best of
health. The first word heard regard
ing him after he left his house was a
telephone message from Fort Smelling
hospital that he had met death sud-
denly.
Dillon O'Brien, father of John D.
O'Brien, met his death suddenly in
like manner at the Cathedral. He was

DECISION AGAINST STATE
Minnesota Cannot Claim Ore Under
Public Waters.


That the state cannot claim mining
rights in bodies of ore lying under
public waters is the effect of a deci-
sion handed down in district court at
Duluth by Judge William A. Cant.
The courts decision disposes of a
test case brought in district court in
1909 by the state against the White
Iron Lake Mining company, the Eu-
cid Iron Mining company and others
owning lands on Longyear lake.
The court refused to grant the in
junction or to grant the relief prayed
for; held that the right or title, so
far as it may exist, is vested in the
shore owner or his grantees and
found no interference with the waters
of the lake. 4 T. Il .~ g.

At the recent International Congress
OF Applied Chemistry in London one
of the most celebrated lecturers, Gia-
como Ciamician. predicted that women
OF the future will not be contented
with a dress which remains constantly
OF one color. but will demand colors
that change In harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con
forming automatically to the environ
ment-the last word n fashion for the
future.
This prediction will come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called "phototropio
colors," or colors that change with
the intensity of the light upon them
In mems wear this might mean that
the light-colored suit of the bright
summer day would be transformed
