Lieutenant Governor Burnquist is
a model presiding officer. His rul-
ings are prompt, fair and impartial,
and he conducts business with neat
ness and dispatch. Although he
does not look it he appreciates a
joke, and his stock of courtesy is ap-
parently inexhaustible. There Is not
a thing the matter with Burnquist.

Governor Hammond is not, as some
people would have us believe, OBJ
sessed with his own Importance. He
is an everyday sort of a man, one
who will wear we'll. AS long as he
is governor he will never delegate
the duties imposed upon him to an
other-he will be governor in fact as
we'll as in name.

THE LATE LEGISL.4TURE.

The LATE LEGISL4TURE.
At noon on the 22nd inst. the 39th
session of the Minnesota legislature
adjourned sine die. AS people view
it, some good, some Indifferent and
some unnecessary legislation was en-
acted-it depends altogether from
what viewpoint the legislation is
considered
Many there are who will condemn
county option, the roadhouse law
and other temperance measures that
were enacted, but it is fair to pre-
sumo that majority of the people
of the state will heartily approve of
the same.
There are those who regard the
repeal Of the so-called Elwell road
law as backward step, but the fact
remains that majority of the
people of the state deemed the law
unfair and unavoidable, and the legis-
lature simply voiced their senti-
ments in repeating it. 2a
Some of tie city newspapers have
denounced the legislature for failure
to make more liberal appropriations
for the state university, forestry,
the suppression of tuberculosis, etc. !
No state institution or any work of |
great public Importance will suffer
for the next two years for lack of |
sufficient means. Had the appropri-
ations been increased, with result
ant higher tax levy for state revenue |
purposes, the same newspapers
would, in all probability, have &C.
cused the legislature of reckless ex-
travagance. There was a loud and |
insistent demand on the part of the
people for economy, and that demand
was needed by the legislators, with
the result that the total appropria-
lions have been reduced 100000 |
below the figures of two years ago, |
and the tax levy for state revenue
purposes has been lowered from 2.3 |
to IA mills. .-%,-& g..
The reduction in the state tax is, !
in large measure, due to the efforts
of the senate finance committee. of |
which Hon. A. J. Rockne of Good
hue county was chairman. That !
committee, and especially its indie |
fatigable chairman, worked unceas-
ingly for the last two months Of the
session. The heads of every depart
ment of the state government and |
the heads Of all the state institu-
tions were given courteous hearings
and every claim was carefully and |
conscientious]y considered. The aim
of the committee was to treat all
fairly, and to provide the means
necessary for the efficient and eco
nomical administration of all state
departments and institutions for the
next two years.
The senate stood by it's finance
committee and it's bills were adopted
without debate and without dis
senting vote. The house virtually
adopted the bills of the senate
finance committee. The house ap-
preparations committee did not give
much consideration to financial mat
te1s until late in the session.
AS long as a substant ial reduction
in the tax levy has been effected the
people will overlook many of the sins
of omission and commission with
which the legislature is charged.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

Cattle made a net gain of 15 to 25 cents last week, and closed with good prospects. A supply of 7,500 head today enabled sales men to dictate prices to the eX- tent of strong to 10 higher than ] the close of last week. A new top on yearling heifers was made, at 1925, and heavy steers sold actived up to S8.50. More of the good Colorado pulp fed steers were here, of big weights, at $8.2 25 to $8.50, similar to cat tie that brought $8 to $8.15 last Monday. Butcher grades sold stronger, best cows bringing $6.25 to ST., and bulls bring 1 $6 to $6.75, veal calves up to S1050. Quarantine cattle were in small supply, but steers are quotable at $6. 75 to $8. 25, medium yearlings at $7 this morning, COWS at S6.4 Feeder an d stock steers are firm today, almost back up to the high point of two or three weeks ago, best feeders around S8. 25, stock steers as much, bulk of sales $7.25 to $8. A feature here today is a train of hay fed Montana steers, including beef steers weighing around 1,200 pounds, at $7.75 to S8, and some block feeders at S8.25. The trade expects moder- receipts for some time ahead, with a demand for beef, which should result in an advancing demand.
 Hogs opened strong to 5 high CT, part of a load of sorted hogs selling at S7.70, but the other wise was S6.65, and bulk of sales $7. 45 to $7.60, packers getting their hogs steady to 5 lower, re- ceipts 5000. Trade prophets favor higher hog markets, but reliable market authorities say that packers are in possession of too much produce for hog sellers to count on prices going much higher until after the June run is in.
 Sheep and lambs sold 10 high CT. Receipts were 10000 head but no choice fed stock was in- cluded. Prime fed wes tern lambs would bring $11.50 here. Texas shorn wethers sold at S7.75 here today, Q record price for any market. Texas shorn yearling S8.75. Texas goats to killers $5.35, a big string of brushers at 5 5.05, Arizona shorn ewes $7.35, shorn yearlings $9, spring lambs SI1.15. Moderate receipts are in sight for balance of the week, and the market appears safe for the present.
