REQUIREMENT OF BILL
ON TONNAGE DEFINED
Acknowledgement Declares Bill
Must Provide Tax Besides
Regular State Levy
(BY United Pressl

st. Paul, Feb. 15.-Any tonnage
tax bill passed by the legislature
must provide for a levy in addition to
the present regular tax assessment to
be constitutional, Attorney General
Hilton advised the house tonnage
committee today.
-Four tonnage tax measures have
been given the attorney-general for
his opinion. Three were provisions
to change the statutory law and the
fourth provided for submission Of
proposed changes in the state consti-
tuition to the voters at the next gen.
eral election. 7 -;
The attorney-general held that
any one Of the three measures should
be modified SO that they would pro-
vide a tax in addition to the regular
state levy. The fourth, he said, did
not seem to violate any provision Of
the state or federal constitutions.

both teams. Halvorson is credited

/. w. W. at Work Looks Like II.

/. w. w. at W0rk7--lOoks Like II.
|, A peculiar set Of circumstances are
reported from the Farm of Herman
frost, renter on the Louis Cunrath
place in St. Lawrence township. While
threshing in Mr.. Trost's grain on Mon
day, the Rus Morrell rcrew found a
very peculiar condition, which all are
at loss to account for:
One of the drivers, loading his load
of bundles out of the field, found that
his fork struck something hard in a
bundle. He looked to see and found
a rock in the bundle as big as a quart
fruit JAR. Now, anyone knows this
would never rah through binder and
get in under the twin band.
The he went on pitching after re-
moving the rock and pretty soon his
fork stuck in something in a grain
bundle. He had to tug hard to get
his fork loose and found that the fork
was caught in large horseshoe, also
in the middle Of bundle. The double
circumstance was at once reported to
Mr.. frost and Mr.. Morrefl.
A little later, right at the machine
another worker, pitching bundles into
the feeder, had his fork strike some
thing in the bundle. He Immediately
quit pitching, got down and investi-
gated and he also found big horse
shoe in the middle of a bundle of
grain.
Shortly after that, with the thresh-
er humming along nicely, rip, bang!
goes something in the cylinder of the
machine. 1t tore swath through the
cylinder and concaves, bending teeth
right and left, causing an hours delay.
Search Of the machine found that the
damage had been caused by a large
iron nut about two inches square. A
nut Of this kind is used ON the rail-
road and has no business in a bundle
Of grain.
The question uppermcst in the
minds of Messrs. frost and Morrell
and the threshing crow is: Who did
this placing Of rocks and horseshoes
etc., In Mr.. Trost's grain bundles and
for what reason? No clues have been
obtained as yet, but an investigation
is proceeding. Meanwhile Mr.. Nor
rell and crew are keeping right on
threshing,, with a weather eye out
for almost anything in a grain bum
die.
Ii is unnecessary for US to state
that such work as this, is bad thing
in community, for it not only hits
the thresherman, but also every
farm in the neighborhood because it
causes apprehension and slows down
the work of threshing. If the per-
petrators are ought they will be
proceeded against with the full Wig
or Of the law, no matter who they
may be.-Jordan Independent.

the specifications of the armory will
mean building that costs about $780,

amount as it would be impossible tc
