LAID [ AWAY
Senate by Decisive Vote Kills the
.,., Corporation Excise Tax
Measure. .

The senate worked at high tension
all day yesterday and with but two
or three brief recesses was in con-
tinuOus session.
Perhaps the most important meas
ure defeated was the excise corpora
tion tax Eli known as House Bill 4l9,
which had been so carefully drawn
by representative Divet and the
measure upon which it was under
stood, Mr. Divet would go before the
people and ask a place upon the su.
preme bench.
The bill was most elaborate in its
terms and sought to place tax OF
one-tWentieth of one percent on all
corporations.
Senator Leu+z made strong argu-
ment against the bill showing that
corporations and railroads now paid
lust share of their taxes. He gave
data to show that in the last twenty
years lands had been raised only
about eleven cents per acre on the av-
erage while the taxes of the corpora
tions had been boosted 200 percent
in that time.
Senators Bronson, Overson and
Vail made the fight for the bill. The
senate was badly split on the PROPOSE
ton.
Senators Hamilton and Paulson de-
clared it was taxing industry and
would discourage the creation of new
industrial plants. Many of the sena-
tors realized the significance of the
act when they began to figure what
it meant to the small elevators and
cooperative companies of the state.
Realizing that the bill was DEBATED,
Senator Vail attempted to save 1t

II Washington, March 6.-President
Wilson was confronted with one of
the. most serious and perplexing de-
velopments tonight that has ever aris-
en- in the Mexican situation. Mexico
City is on the verge OF starvation.
General ObregOr, the CarranZa COM

OF the wealthy Of foreign colonies, to
succor the needy Mexico needs no
foreign aid" Obregon said. All mer-
chants who closed their stores were
threatened with punishment unless
they re-opened. People in the city
are living il terror of another evacua-
ton, since Obregon announced he will
not prevent looting and pillaging for
food and money. The Brazilian, Span
ish, British and Italian ambassadors
called with pessimistic reports at the
state department today No solution
was suggested. Freight service is sus.
pended between Mexico City and

for relief purposes are withheld by

Repeal Clause Absolute.
The repeal clause In the present
udget passed last evening was so
GOrded as to overcome the objections
Il the supreme court, in fact certain
ldges were consulted in advance, so
fst the tax commission instead of
aving $4,000 a biennial period has
hly $23,8O0. Instead of becoming
perative July 1, the appropriation be-
ins today SO that with adjournment
be old tax commission appropriation
repealed.
Only One Salary.
But the appropriation only provides
hlary for one tax commissioner at
1000 per annum. Governor Hanna
ast evening sent to the senate the ap-
ointment of H. H. Steele, as the
bird tax commissioner. The ques.
ion now is who will get the $4,000 a
ear: Packard, Wallace or Steele.
Vill it be split up into $1,000 year
ach or will State Auditor JorgensOn
efuse to pay only one and let the
|ther two mandamus and seek relief
h the court. J.0
Wipes Out Commission.
It was generally believed that the
Midget bill in effect wiped out the
AK commission because it deprives
il but one commissioner of his sal
Try. The supreme court doubtless
Eill be called upon to determine the
deposition.
But the repeal clause Of the budget
|ill reads: 83 5,..
1T is the intent hereby to enact an
xclusive general appropriation bill,
md to repeal each and every act and
II parts Of acts now existing which
ppropriate or purport to appropriate
poney for. any Of the Offices, officers,
Grposes and things set out in sec
Rn 3 thereof in so far as the same
bnflict Herewith, or relate to appro-
riations for the same matters or pur-
oses provided for therein"
Packard Was Ready.
It was known that the present tax
ommission was preparing 10 circu-
te a petition to suspend the one man
kx commission in the event it pass
ID the house, knowing that it would
ake a two-thirds vote to put on an
hective clincher such as is provided
the initiative and referendum. Mr..
Packard has been busy preparing for
his. He has been fortified with de-
isions and data and petitions would
ave been started today. If enough
igners had been secured, any single
ax commissioner bill which the legis-
hture had enacted could have been
uspended for two years.
The tax commission also relied on
IS power through the same medium
suspend the one man tax commits
ion appropriation, but Ployhar, Di.
ct and others of it's defenders were
keep at the switch.
Caught In Meshes.
Seldom has there been an instance
here piece of fool legislation was
% caught in it's meshes, the very men
Fho perpetrated it upon the state.
The question is now how can three
hen serve the state on $4,000 year.
This appropriation doubtless will

eneral opinion that the bill will put

Dean of Senate Is Effected the
President Pro Tempore by
Unanimous Ballot. .s

Dignity characterized the closing
moments of the fourteenth legislat-
i've session in the senate While the
members waited for conference re-
ports there was none of the horse
play which often mars the closing
moments.
A fine tribue was paid to Lieuten-
ant Governor Frame for his fair rul.
ings. He was presented with franz
ed picture of the members of the leg
islature. He refused, however, to &C
cept similar donation two years ago
as speaker of the house. ~
Mr.. Frame has won the friendship
Of most Of the legislators BY his ex-
cellent rulings.
Senator Mclean, Cavalier county,
was re.selected president pro, tempore
of the senate. Senator .Overson plac-
ed the name of Senator Davis in NOM
ination and Senator Bond seconded
that nomination. Wnen Senator Jac-
obsen nominated Senator Mclean,
Davis name was withdrawn.
The resolution to expend $4,000 of
the capitol fund for buying addition
al lots about the capitol site carried.
Senator Hyland developed bitter
spirit toward Bismarck because one
of the hotels put in bill for office
rent for the senate stenographer.
Only 81 day was charged, but the
senator from Bronson made a stump
speech and charged Bismarck up with
being a "cheap grating place" He
declared it was just such things as
this, Legitimate bills against the
state,) that would drive the capital
to some other city.
His remarks were greeted by laugh
ter Senator Hyland, however, cooled
down as the business OF the senate
proceeded.
Hylands immigration bill was pass
ed as amended which places the Sec
retary of state and the attorney gen
eral on the state immigration board.
The senate was tied up for hours
on the tax on money and credits.
Senator Englund who had a personal
interest in one of the features OF the
law which will allow Kenmare bank
er to liquidate his taxes for twenty
five mills on the dollar sought through
,illibustering tactics to hold up the en-
tire BILL He finally lost and the Dill

provides for two mill tax on mon
eys and credits. Taxes now in liti.
CATION can be settled on basis OF 20
mills on the dollar.
The bill allowing free transporta'

the ground was prepared Jared and
Miss Hyacinth were present at all
the seances. At the third one the
faker announced that at the next sit
ting he would call up the spirit OF
Cupid and have him announce the en-
gagements and marriages for the COM
ing year. This produced grand fiut-
ter, and thirty people paid dollar
head for the privilege of being pres

and will never die. He is here, there
and everywhere; but will come at my

coed:
Hello! want the spirit of Cupid"

came rappings
'Is this Cupid?"
One rap-"Yes."
rs there as much love in tha world
as ever?"
A thump instead of rap-to sig
nifty that there was heap more than
there used to be.

Two raps, knock and a thump-
to signify that it was Job that kept
him busy "a hours out of every day In

"Will there be any marriages here

And will they marry?"
In reply there came dozen knocks
and thumps, and the table tried to
stand on it's hind legs. while the faker
explained:
NO, they will not marry, but Jared
will wed Adelina Perkins,"
Then he had to fee to escape the
claws Of Miss Hyacinth, and, there
was never another seance in that VII
lage.
Jared married Miss Perkins.

VocatIon Selection.

Vocation teaching, with selection
of students for different classes of
work by so-called scientific methods,
seems to be still In a very rudimental
stage. Prof. Herman Schneider has
had notably successful experience
with the cooperative courses of the
University OF Cincinnati, but con-
cludes that the plan Of choosing the
lifework for individuals by their phys
ical peculiarities, is not reliable. It
has been held that such characteristics
as the shape Of the fingers or Of the
head disclose special aptitudes or
abilities. This is a development of
the old phrenology, and might indicate
that certain money-making executive
will have appropriately shaped head
and hands, but successful executives
chosen at random showed no such Pc
culiarities. The claim of some pro-
fessors Of psychology that certain
mental Qualities-memory, attention.
and. so on-gave fitness for certain
work has proved equally misleading.
The old method of testing ability by
trying varied lines of work seems to
be the only dependable one, and in the
several years Of college course may
serve as very good guide.

Sulphur deposits are found on White
Island, in the Bay of Plenty on the
coast of the North Island of New Zea-
land, about thirty miles from the main
land. This island. which covers about
500 acres, attains height Of 900 feet
on one side and opens to the sea on
the other. It's topography indicates
an old crater. and the boiling lake on
the island, which is one of the awe
inspiring sights Of New Zealand. is a
further evidence of volcanism. After
the New Zealand Sulphur company
had spent 100000 in preparation for
mining sulphur in this locality, vol
canic disturbance wrecked the camp
and killed ten men.
