Saves Need Buying a New Skirt
CALLS FOR NEW DICTIONARY
New York Newspaper Condemns the
Present Ones as Cumbersome
and Disconcerting.

Like many books called classics,
which we speak Of reverently and
never look at, the dictionary Of our
language seems to be falling into dis
use we seldom consult 1t. If a strange
word "swims into our ken" we regard
1t as an impertinence or we use 1t as
kind Of game; we argue about 1t,
discuss It, and perhaps write to the
newspapers for a definition, but we
don't consult the dictionary.
Perhaps the reason for our neglect
Is that the unabridged dictionary is
too cumbersome and 1t gives too many
meanings, though thin papers cut the
ordinary bulk. Simple words therein
are found to be both noun and verb
(spelled alike, and sometimes they
have more than a dozen distinct mean
ings. This is disconcerting. There
may be room for dictionary with the
obsolete and archaic words left out, q
true Twentieth-century dictionary that
shall be fool proof.-New York Herald.

WOULD SPLIT REVENUE
inheritance Bill Providing Split with
Counties Is Recomme nded.

st. Paul-The Pearson bill provid-
Ing for a $3.50 split of all Inheritance
taxes with the county and the state
was reconsidered in the House taxes
and tax laws committee of the Mime.
sofa legislature and after discussion
was recommended for passage.
Previously this bill was recommend
ed for indefinite postponement. The
country members of the committee
again opposed the bill on the grounds
that all large estates are probated in
cities, despite the fact that in many
instances the wealth was actually &C
quired in the rural districts. Their
argument was that the bills provi'
sions gives urban counties a decided
advantage over the state and the
rural counties.
The three royalties tax bills intro
duced by Representative WEIGH, an
other by Representative Bendixen and
q third by Representative Moen, pro
viding for a royalty tax Of 10, 6 and
per cent, were laid over to give the
authors Of the respective bills an op
portunity to explain them to the
committee. The WEIGH and Bendixen
bills provide for royalty tax on al
ore, lands. The Moen bill goes far
Their to include ores, GRANTEES, mar
bles and stone.
