Would Shorten Duck Season,

Representative Baldwin introduced
bill this afternoon which would
shorten the duck season as it provides
for the opening of the season on o.
tober ! instead of September 7 as is
now the case. This is in line with one
Of the recommendations of the game
board, the members of which take the
stand that the ducks are too young at
the opening of the chicken season and
that by the time they are fit to eat the
best of the hunting is spoiled.

1O4 which was introduced by Mr.. Bur-
nett of Trail county is being worked
over in the committee on taxes and
tax laws until when it is returned to
the house it will hardly be recognize
able. It is the intention of the COM
mittee with the consent of the author
that the bill shall be so reconstructed
that it will call for a taxation of all
public utility corporations for state
purposes only. 1t is not the intention
Of the committee that bill shall be
framed that will make the public util-
tiles companies pay more than their
share of the taxes but that all the tax
es they do pay shall be applied to the
expenses of the state government. In
this manner the counties will have no
share in the railroad and other public
utility tax but will be only expected
to raise what money is needed in the
county for the business of the county.
There is sufficient revenue to be COL
lected from the utility companies to
pa ythe running expenses of the state
In this way there would be way out
of the present unequal division of the
revenue from railroads.
Committee Meeting Put Ahead.
Representative Peterson of Nelson
county introduced bill this after
noon which will set the date of the
meeting of the state central commit
tees ahead from the first Wednesday
in September to the fourth Wednesday
in July following a primary election.
It is the contention of the author of
the bill that the people of the state
are generally in better position to at
tend these meetings at the time set
in his bill than later in the year as is
now the case. The new bill does not
in any way change the manner of the
selection of the committee. There
are good many who have been in IA
vor of change Of this kind for sine
time and it is thought that there will
be no difficulty in passing the bill
through the house and the senate and

Against Insurance Repeal.

Members of the committee on educa-
ton in the house to which the bill
providing for the repeal of the teach
ers insurance and retirement fund
was referred are hearing from parties
over the state interested in the meas
ure. Most of the letters are from
teachers and those interested in
school work and protest against the
repeal of the law, claiming that the
payment accorded teachers of the
state is so small they cannot make
adequate provision for the future on
the remuneration given them.
Against Enforcement Commissioner
There is good deal of opposition
developing against the bill which pro-
vides for the creation of the office Of
the state enforcement commissioner.
This is bill looking towards the bet
ter enforcement of the prohibition
law The original bill called for an
appropriation of $4,000 per annum
but it is understood that the commit
tee has cut that feature Of the bill to
$500 and there is considerable doubt
as to whether it will be accepted by
the house even for that amount.

MORE DEMOCRATIC EFFICIENCY
As A Result Thereof the Executive
and Legislative Bodies are al Odds.

Washington, D. c., June 30. There
is war between the executive and legis-
lative branches of the Democratic adj
ministration.
The Department of Justice has asked
the United States Supreme Court TO de-
clare null and void a statute upon which
the Democratic Congress labored for
more than six months to enact into law.
This amazing spectacle has its origin
in the clause of the tariff act proposing
to give a five per cent discount on all
duties imposed on merchandise import
ed in vessels admitted to American
registry. Its history is well known.
Tie Court of Custom Appeals recently
upheld the law in a divided opinion.
From this decision the government has
appealed.
In its brief asking the Supreme Court
to review the case, the Department of
Justice severely criticises Congress for
laundering.
lAC NpllS / Io'4cAIeAA t'Nt bOoS VI Ac1 "a .
ing American bottoms is obstructed by
treaty provisions to the contrary, "
declares the argument for a review,
"and Congress was fully advised of the
purport and existence of these treaties.
If no precise or ineligible meaning can
be given to the law in question, con-
sistent with the manifest intention of
Congress. it must be held to be void
and Of no effect.
IF the initial clause and the proviso
of the section are irreconcilable, land
the government so contends, the
statute is void. Better that the words
used should be declared inadequate for
the purpose intended than that in
depreciation should usurp the function
of legislation
The Department still further EN-.
phasizes its belief that the act Of Con
gress was absurd by quoting with ap-
prevail the Senate committee report
which rejected the offending section.
Your Committee struck out the
provisions" says the report as quoted
by the government brief. ut was in
contravention of some nineteen or
twenty treaties of the United States,
In our opinion it could have led to no
good result, as every other country
could have retaliated and all the coun-
tries in the end would have been just
about where they started. Ne were
not only inviting an endless retaliation.
but retaliation where our opponents
would have had in nearly every case
the better of It. and in many cases in
fntely the better.
Furthermore, the Department of
Justice contends that Congress enacted
a law either impossible of perform
ance or that must be postponed until
treaty relations can be modified so as to
permit of it, >" and urges the court to
declare the statute imperative.
The development of this division be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the Democratic admins
tration merely repeats history. The
party is running true to form, and re-
minds one of the division in the Demo.
cratic party during the administration
of Grover Cleveland, when he refused
to sign the tariff bill which the Demo-
cratic Congress had enacted after
months of labor.
