STACKS CAUGHT r

L~idgerwocd, A.. D., Sept. 30
While threshing on the G. Paetzke
farm, southwest of this city, the
stacks caught on fire from a spark
from the engine and two stacks and
part of two others were burned. The
crew saved the machine without much
difficulty, but the flames in the stacks
spread too fast for them. Jacob Os-
tens machine was doing the thresh-
ing. A sudden change of the wind
carried the spark into the stacks.

aged seventy, is a question which may
be yhreshed out in court. The man
is a civil wal veteran, who has lost
his memory, and is afflicted with st.

thorities there. An effort is being
made to have him cared for at the

and Institute for the Mute and
Blind. AS authority for a levy for
these purposes is given in one and
the same act, we cannot assume
that the legislature intended to
favor one of these institutions in
preference to another, in the alb
sence Of words indicating such
intent, but rather that all should
stand on an equality. Hence
such reduction as may be found
necessary to bring the total levy
for all purposes within four mills
should be made from these sew
eral levies pro rata"
In closing:
"The legislative department OF
the state has for many years
made appropriations in excess of
the limit permitted by the state
constitution. AS a result, confu-
sion and litigation have follow
ed, and the credit Of the state
has suffered thereby. The plan
of levying special taxes for par
ticular purposes adds to, rather
than lessons the difficulty. If the
legislature would marshal the as
sets of the state and estimate the
revenue necessary to- run the
state government, and levy a tax
in gross sufficient with the rev
enue derived from other sources
to meet all demands upon the
state treasury, the matter would
be greatly simplified."
Before undertaking any legal &C
on in the premises it would be wei
" the heads of the various institu
ons to- read the supreme court de
sion above referred to.
So far as the board of equalization
concerned, no fair-minded either
nd taxpayer can fail to appreciate
leir efforts in the interests of econ
ny in state government. That they
ave at last succeeded in bringing
e levy for state purposes within
Institutional limitations should be
for universal congratulatior
i'd encouragement rather than criti
SIN.

"The priority of the general levy

thus ascertained under the prin-

other constitutional requirements,

duty of every officer to refrain
from doing any act which falls
within the inhibition of the state

And further:

And further:
"The levy for state purposes is
as much a Legislative levy as the
levy for any special purpose.

primary Importance. 1t is special

stitution in the following unmis-

"'The general assembly shall

defray the estimated expenses of

49, ~
In providing by levy for states
expenses, two mandatory requisites
must be complied with. One is that
the total sum Of the levy shall not
exceed four mills; the other that Of
this four mills, the levy needed to
produce the sum of appropriations
made for general purposes must be
made first before any others are con-
sidered. II the aggregate of special
levies amounts to more than the diff
ference between the levy made for
general purposes and the am"unt of
four mills, then it is clearly the duty
of the state board Of equalization to

that four-mill limit.

into the presidency fifteen months ago
the country's foreign policy has been

Mr. Wilson step within the precincts of

Wilson first went into Secretary Bryan's
private chambers. Then the little COM

viewed with keen interest the companion
pictures of Secretary Daniel Webster and
Lord Ashburton, who negotiated the
treaty settling the boundary between the
United States and Canada.
The President was interested to learn
that Webster's family bequeathed these
pictures to the State Department with
the understanding that they always
should be hung together. They are
among the finest portraits in the depart

mind when he escorted his chief into
