ginning as this, to which all men and all
parties must periodically yield some
thing, win score distinct success for
the Legislature of 1895 and will mark,
it may well be hoped, the beginning OF
better day in taxation in Minnesota.
Even such a minimum program OF
tax reform viii not be entirely ade-
quate, but it will be a strong stride
toward adequacy. 1t will, with a two
years trial afford the Legislature of
1887, or perhaps a special session which
may have to be called in 1896. basis
of experience upon which to extend and
improve tax reform.
The crisis in Minnesota state finance
is a serious one; 1t Is working great
hardships upon the people of Minnesota,
and it threatens still greater inroads
upon their welfare. 1t calls for wisdom
and courage, patriotism and seh-sacri-
flee on the part of the representatives OF
the people in the Legislature assembled.
1t is the immemorial right of the
people to bait and pan their Legisla-
lures. Much of the criticism which is
directed at law-making bodies for their
dilatoriness and waste of time, for the
frivolousness of their debates, for their
indecision and shiftlessness Is deserved
Yet, if we look back at Legislatures of
the past. We must admit that speed is
not always to the good and that de-
cision all too often is disastrous.
It took the Legislature of 1923 the
whole session to enact a rural credit act.
Three different bills were introduced at
various stages throughout the session.
Editors fumed and the Legislature was
denounced on the. street and in the
forum for its delay. But today we
exclaim: How much better of we
would have been had it been delayed
forever!"
Two Legislatures, yes, three or four,
puttered around over budget system,
and with the aid of an interim COM
mission and junket throughout the
East, finally gave birth to the Big
Three. What would We not give today
to be rid of this octopus which fastens
its wastefM tentacles upon every branch
Of state government. Would that it
had died a-borning!
For ten years or more ardent re-
formers have been pressing for q
drivers license and road security act
They finally wrung it from q reluctant
Legislature on the final night of the
1888 session, and what have we got?
That prince of good fellows, that extra
ordinary exception, canny Scot who
is enormously expensive, Gil Car
michael, a department that pays $12,-
240 per year rent for quarters it doesn't
need at all, and that now demands
thousands upon thousands for drivers
licenses that it has already issued and
been paid for

LEGISLATIVE NEWS
By R. w. HITCHCOCK

been gained for the needy. Two out
standing triumphs have been won for
people of the state by the Independent
Progressive majority in the House and
Senate-the enlargement of drouth re-
lief TO the measure so urgently de-
manded by the farmers of the state and
the enactment of the 100000 seed
loan measure in addition to the sl0,-
600 900 relief bill.
These are tremendous accomplish
mentS for the people of the state. Both
have been brought about by the vigor-
Gus and persistent action of the indie
Progressive majority in the
Legislature.
Out of the attempt of the Indepen-
dent Progressive majority to vote
| 81 100000 for drouth relief over and
above other relief measures, came the
dispute with the federal government,
invitation of Federal Administrator
Hopkins to the Legislature to send con-
fereeS to Washington, the brilliant sue
cess of that conference in which the
federal government yielded and agreed
TO supply the drouth relief insisted upon
by the farmers of Western Minnesota.
Minnesota got what it so urgently
needed and saved a million dollars to
the taxpayers of the state. Nothing
that this Legislature does, no matter
what it may be, will be to more sub
stantial accomplishment for the well
fare of the state than this.
Second only to this fine performance
is the seed loan bill for $4,000, 900, spon-
sored by Senator j. v. Weber of Murray
and Representative II. G. Andersen of
Lincoln. In this act, in the best form
possible, is provided additional relief
which it is hoped and believed will go
far toward putting the farmers OF Min
nesota in a more favorable position.
So clearly needed and so manifeStly
beneficial is this measure that it was
enacted with the practically unanimous
vote of the Legislature.
In these two great accomplishments
alone the Independent Progressive ma
jority in the Legislature has justified
the decision of the people last Novem-
Der in entrusting to its members the
control of the Legislature.
|
Despite the hue and cry, the tumult
and the shouting and the confusion
which has been staged by. those who
fear to be investigated, the various in
vestigations instituted by the Legis-
lature of 1885 are yielding results of
value to the people of the state.
The opposition of the party in power
to any probe into its actions in the
discharge of its trust, is confession that
more is wrong than appears on the sur
face. 1t is unthinkable that Theodore
Christensen, Jake Preus, Adolph Eber-
hart, ]. A. A. Burnquist, Winfield Scott

The Legislature of 1885 viii adjourn
Thursday, April 25th. 1t has five weeks
yet to live.
This is the time in the session when
everybody despairs OF anything being
done. More than two-thirdS OF the
session IS gone and confusion still reigns
supreme. So it seems.
Twas ever thus. The truth is that
the confusion is more seeming than real
One experienced in looking at Legisla-
lures sees that out of the confusion, de-
ciSion is slowly making its appearance
Action viii gather speed in the next
five weeks, and decisions which have
for weeks seemed hopeless, will sud-
denly be made and recorded.
Important legislation viii be enacted
in the last three weeks. More major
laws viii be written in the last two
weeks than in all the previous weeks
of the session. Some of the most vital
measures, it is quite likely, will not
pass until the last week.
The drivers license act and its twin,
the security act, hailed as major ac-
comptshmentS OF the session, were not
enacted until the very eleventh hour OF
the last night of the session Of 1888.
The time for sitting and weighing and
puzzling is near its end; the hour of de-
cision is close -pon the Legislature.
Believe it or not, very great deal
has been accomplished. The two out
standing issues Of the session are relief
and tax reform. Relief is in the bag,
that issue is behind the Legislature OF
1895. Tax reform is in the making, de-
cisions in respect to it will come rapidly
IN the next four weeks.
There never was any doubt whatever
about relief. AL minds, all factions, all
parties have been agreed from the be-
ginning upon the main fact that ade-
Quate relief must be provided. Such
minor differences as existed looked TO
care in the protection of the taxpayer
and to over anxiety to jockey for politi-
cal advantage. The time consumed has
been distinctly to the advantage Of
those who need relief, for no relief has
been shortened or withheld, but on the
other hand a distinct advantage has

Hammond or John A johnson would
have objected to an inquiry, even ii
proposed by political opponents. They
and their parties would have welcomed
any and all Investigations into THEN
official acts.
The investigations of the Legislature
of 1885 are only IN mid-course. They
still have long TO run. They have not
developed, thus far, any such remissness
as the 100000 road scandal of 1888, il
is true, but they nave established the
fact that many irregularities and abuses
exist in the administration OF relief
The testimony SO shows and Acting Re-
lief Administrator L. P. Zimmerman
declared under oath that 81 am finding
it out every day."
1t is perhaps true that the attempt
to administer millions of relief, under
taken in a hurry, will result in abuses
no matter what party administered, but
it is a wholesome thing that these
abuses should be brought to light. Per
haps we shall thereby be able &c
eliminate some or most of them, and de-
vote relief money more completely to
it's intended purpose relief of the
needy. 1t is just as well, for instance
for the people to know that the spend
ing and administration of millions have
been, and still are. in the hands of a
student of theology and philosophy, with
practically no business experience what
ever, and that for his services he is
being paid a large salary, and at the
same time is being paid liberal compen-
Sation as disabled veteran.
The solution of the problem of taz
reform by the Legislature of 1885 is in
the making. This problem is so con-
fused and perplexing, and men sc
sincerely differ in opinion as to what
ought to be done, that solution would
be difficult even if it were not COM
plicated by human sefishneSs. The
Constitution of Minnesota says that
taxation should he flair and equitable
and all men agree to that. But we
have been working at it for 76 years
and what a-crazy quilt of unfairness
and inequality our human selfishness
has made of it,
We are not going to eliminate human
selishneSs and make taxation in Min
nesota "fair and equitable" in the
twinkling of an eye, in day or in one
Legislative session. The most that can
reasonably be expected of the Legisla-
ture of 1885 in the matter of tax re-
form is that some substantial beginning
be made.
1t is quite possible that in the
closing weeks of the session, some such
minimum beginning may be made as
this elimination of the state tax (tax
for state revenue only on property, in
creases IN income and other taxes upon
the principle of ability to pay, the ad-
dition of some new source of revenue
applicable to every citizen, such as the
dollar turnover tax. Any one of these
alone would be inadequate, utterly in
adequate; it will take a combination od
all of them. Some such minimum be-

JOIN TO GUARD
HIGHWAY FUND.
Motoring Groups Opposed To
State Use of 1t For Any
Other Purpose
THIS OR REDUCED TAXES

Representatives of the motoring
public and of all Delaware organi-
cations connected with the automo-
bile industry, in protest mass
meeting Monday night at the
Chamber of Commerce, in Will
mington, formed a permanent or
ganization and launched a drive
against proposed diversion of the
highway funds by the State Legis-
lature. The drive began Tuesday
morning with a message telegraph
ed to Governor Buck, the State
Highway Engineer, President Pro
Tenn Maloney of the Senate and
Speaker Lyons of the House, pro-
testing against delving into the
highway fund and asking that no
action be taken on any such pro-
posals until the neWly-formed or
ganization has been given hear
ing. The new group is to be called
the Delaware Highway Users Con-
ference. Hugh F. Gallagher was
elected chairman; H. S. TAFT, vice
chairman and A. Rae duBell, sec
retary. The defnitelyphrased reso-
Tuition lays down the thesis that
money raised through license fees
and gasoline taxes should be spent
only for construction and mainten-
ance Of highways, and only those
highways that are in general use;
that there is good reason for
spending the money this way be-
cause it affords "the best known
method of reducing unemployment,
and that if the money is not spent
in this way, taxes on motorists
should be reduced The action,
described as an uprising of the
motoring public" against proposals
to use highway funds for general
purposes, was taken swiftly on the
understanding the State Legisla-
ture might act on the proposals
within the next few days. The
conference heard an address by w
Purvis Taylor, of Philadelphia, who
attacked what he declared to be
the injustice of levying on the mo-
toring public simply as a method
of raising money, rather than foI
the specific purpose of developing
and maintaining highways. Mr.
Taylor also branded as unjust the
theory that motorists should main
tain all highways, even those used
only by residents of isolated ruraI
districts. The conference will meet
regularly every Monday night anc
all persons concerned with the
automobile industry may attend

DYNAMITE CAP IN COAL
Seen Cause of Blast Which Injured
Mrs. Charles FAIRIES at Dover

An explosion believed to have
been caused by dynamite cap in
the coal which she was placing on
the fire in the kitchen range, Sat
urday, wrecked the stove, damaged
the room and severely burned Mrs.
Charles FAIRIES, so years old, in Do
yer. Fragments of the stove were

Mrs. FAIRIES was burned about the
arms, face and breast. She was
taken to the Kent General Hospital
where she was reported to be in a
favorable condition The blast set
fire to the house but the flames
were checked by a daughter who.
poured water on the blaze which
was later extinguished by the Rob
bins Hose Company. Damage to
the building was placed at about
$3.50. Mr. FAIRIES who was sitting
in the kitchen was unhurt and sew

Governor c. Douglass Buck has
signed the bill authorizing the New
Castle county commissioners to
levy an income tax for the next
two wears to finance the county's
relief program. The measure
means that residents of the county
will have three income taxes to
pay during the next two years, one
to the Federal Government, one to
the State and one to the county
The county revenue is expected to
be between 100000 and $75O,0O0 a
year. The relief needs are esti-
mated at from 81 100000 to $2,-
100000 a year. County authorities
hope the Federal Government will
continue to aid in meeting the re-
lief needs. Under the new coun-
ty income tax law 1 per cent. will
be charged on first $4,000; two per
cent. ON next $1,000; three per cent.
