The Change of
Life
Ib the most important period in a wo
man's existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to Durst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of a dan*

perous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just so many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry
ing out for assistance. The cry should
be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound was pre
pared to meet the needs of woman's
lystem at this trying period of her life.
It builds up the weakened nervous
system, and enables a woman to pa6S
that grand change triumphantly.
" I was a very sick woman, caused
by Change of Life. I suffered with hot
flushes, and fainting spells. I was
afraid to go on the street, my head and
back troubled me so. I was entirely
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta

PERTIXEXT REMARKS
GOVERNORS BLUFF IS CALLED
That the voice of the Republican ma
chine which was responsible for the edict
that the legislature shall be adjourned on
April 5, will not prevail, is about as cer
tain as that the legislature is still in ses

this proposition yesterday as a special
order, but again deferred final action
until Saturday, when again it is to be
taken up as a special order at 10:30.
Mr. Finland, of the Ramsey county
delegation, struck the keynote to the
situation yesterday when discussion was
being indulged in or this subject. He

"This is a scheme of the Republican

next year. Now, I, for one, refuse to be
Whipped into line by any such a bluit
and I do not think it will beccme the
members of this house, regardless of
their party, to submit to anything of
this character."
The speaker referrred to the published
statement of Gov. Van Sant which ap
peared in Republican papers a lew days
ago, in which the governor is quoted as
having made the statement attributed to
him by Mr. I'mland.

ceives the co-operation of all the minor

of thp majority. The covert scheme to
force the doors of the legislature shut
fifteen days before the regular time for
adjournment, merely to aid in carrying
the designs of a few h:de-bound poli

II HAS I SESSION
JACOBSON'S GROSS EARNINGS BILL
STIRS UP MOST INTENSE
EXCITEMENT
LAYBOURN LEADS OPPOSITION
DnlntU Member Says Railroads Are
Already Paying Their Full
Share of Taxa
tion.
The most intense excitement prevailed
in the house yesterday during the con
sideration of the tax committees report
on the Jacobson gross earnings tax bill.
Charges of bribery were made and upon
motion of Mr. Jacobson, the house voted
to have a committee of five named by
the speaker to investigate these charges.
No decisive action was then taken on the
committee's report and the matter will
come up again this morning.
The tax committee reported upon the
bill with a recommendation that it be
referred to the state lax commission,
which would take the subject under con
sideration and render its report a year

hence. This report was signed by
thirteen members of the committee. Mr.
Jacobson submitted a minority report
signed by four members of the com
mittee. Those whose names were affixed
to the majority report were: Wallace,
chairman; Torson, Barteau, Ferris, Lay
bourn, Hymes, Kelly, Hurd, Berg, Rich,
Sehwarg, Burns and Larson. Those
signing the minority report were: Jacob
son, Washburn, J. A. Peterson and
Ward.
As a substitute to the motion that the
majority report be adopted, Mr. Jacob
son moved that the bill be placed on the
general orders and allowed to take its
regular course in the house. The vote
upon this motion resulted in 65 for it and
49 against. A general squabble then fol
lowed over a motion to reconsider the
vote which was urged for immediate ef
fect by Mr. Laybourn. Mr. Jacobson
made an earnest plea for the house to
defer this action, saying that his bill
had not been accorded due courtesy and
that if allowed until today, before forc
ing the vote for a reconsideration, the
friends as well as the enemies of the bill
would have a more even chance. Mr.
Laybourn finally yielded this conces
sion and consequently the matter will
be again taken up at 10:30 this morning.
DOWLING'S NEW RULING.
An attempt was made to have the re
port of the majority of the committee
voted upon, but proceedings were stop;! d
by J. A. I'eterson and Mr. Anderson,
who arose to the point of order that the
bill could not be referred to the tax com
mission. This brought the matter down
to a parliamentary basis and Speaker
Dowling was compelled to make a ruling
upon the question. After waiting for
some little time upon the gentlemen who
had protested for their references to the
rules of the house in Pustainment of
their positions, the speaker gave his rul
ing-. He said:
"The chair rules that the hill cannot
be referred to the tax commission, but
the substance or subject matter of the
bill may be so referred. The rules of this
house specifically state that no bill
record or paper shall pass out of the
hands of the chief clerk, after having
once come into the house, unless it go
through the regular course."
This stopped all further proceedings
and the house voted to lay the inaj<#ity
report on the table until this morning
when the discussion wil\ be renewed and
some settlement in the matter is antici
pated.
The ruling which Speaker Dowling was
forced to make is the first of this charac
ter which members of the house are able,
to recall. There have been similar cases
under debate in the senate in time past
and. the precedent established by that
tody has always been contrary to the po
sition taken by the speaker yesterday
Nevertheless, Mr. Dowling is sustained in
his action by several old members of the
senate, who affirm that his and not their
course, is correct. Mr. Dowling stated
that he was constrained to make this rul
ing, as the laws of the body over which
it is his duty to preside warrant no other.
JACOBSON COMPLIMENTS LAT-
BOURN.
As to the charges of bribery made by
Mr. Jaoobson and also by Mr Wasi
burn, of Hennepln, Mr. Jacobson in his
speech yesterday, took occasion to shield
his most bitter antagonist, Mr. Lay
bourn, by saying that he was absolutely
certain that Mr. Laybourns fight was a
fair and clean one, and that he was
above reproach of this character "Mr
Laybourn," said Mr. Jacobson, "has al
ways been against this measure. He is a
consistent enemy of the bill, and I know
ti.at. He needs no outside influence to
place him against my measure." Mr
Laybourn was clearly the leader in the
fight against the bill. He occupied the
same ground four and two years ago
when the same measure was up
Mr. Jacobson declared mat he held in
his possession affidavits that would sus
tain his charges of bribery or attempt at
bribery He was called on to produce
them, but said he would not at present
He said that he had consulted with ten
of the most prominent members from the
senate and house, and that upon thei"
advice had pursued the course of tempo
rarily retaining possession of these facts
To the press he stated that before any
thing of the kind was given out for publl,
cation it would all be submitted to the
he use. Further than to clear Mr. Lay
bourn of any suspicion whatever, Mr.
Jacobson declined to discuss the matte*
of bribery. He said everything would be
disclosed at the proper time.
Mr. Washburn, after listening to the
allegations made by Jacobson and the
insistent demands of various members of
the house that if such information be in

a last resort, hoping that it would not
be-necessary to reveal It. Like Mr. Ja
cobson, Mr. Washburn preferred to wait
etif» iVUlSrinf. &Ny further statements
upon this senatlonal proposition. . .
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE.
The committee, which the speaker will
probably appoint today, has been given a
rather wide latitude. It Is not only to
make investigations or searches for
charges of bribery with reference to th«
Jacobson bill, but is to include in its
missionary toil similar researches along
the lines of all pending leglslat'on. This
provision was included in the motion of
Mr. Jacobson.
As to the discussion of the bill, Mr. Ja
cobson championed his own cause, speak
ing five or six times. Representatives J.
A. Peterson, of Hennepin county; Rlley,
of Jackson county; Anderson, of Winona
county, and Washburn. of Hennepin
county, were also heard on the same side
of the question. Representative Lay
bourn, of Duluth, was the leader for the
opposition, and was followed by Repre
sentatives Dobbin, of Hennepin, and
Rich, of Ramsey. Mr. TJmland was one
of those who wanted action taken on the
Mil, and also was one who insisted upon
the appointment of the investigation com
mittee.
Mr. Jacobson used practically the same
arguments which he has delivered upon
the bill at various times before. He
urged the statement, as one reason why
the bill should pass, that, in view of the
fact that the contract between the state
and the roads is held to be Inviolate, the
law cannot be tested except some such
measure be passed, and that by the en
actment of this law the state would be
put To the expense of $25,000 in trying
to find out whether or not this law is
perpetual. He made the sweeping asser
tion that the- roads do not pay their just
proportion of taxes, and that the rate
of their gross earnings taxation should ne
increased from 3 per cent to 4 or 5 or
even 5% per cent, which would not be
exorbitant.
When Mr. Jacobson pleaded with the
house to take action of some kind on
the bill rather than again postpone it,
Mr. Dobbin arose and said that if the
author himself was not sure what the
rate of taxation ought to be, as his state
ment that It should be 4, 5 or 5% per
cent would indicate, the house certainly
ought to have further time in which to
consider the bill. If the rate really should
bo advanced to s}£ per cent, there was
no more use in placing it at 4 than there
was In leaving it at 3, and he was strong
ly against railroading the measure
through without more deliberate action.
PETERSON OPPOSES REFERENCE.
Mr. Peterson consumed most of his time
in trying to prove that the report of the
tax committee could not be sustained
since it would be illegal to refer the bill
to the tax commission. He argued at
some length, insisting that the only body
that has any right to deal with the bill
is the legislature. He said the matter
might as well be referred to the supreme
court.
Mr. Anderson followed in practically
the same trend. He also wanted further
time in which to study the bill, as he
stated he would be unable at the present
time to vote intelligently upon it. He
said it had not been accorded the usual
courtesy of the house, in that-it was
deprived of the right to be printed and.
placed on the general orders. He want
ed the house to print the bill and put it
upon general orders so that it might be
carefully studied by all the members and
take the usual course of any other bill.
Mr. Anderson declared that the best legal
assistance had been employed in draft
ing the bill, and it contained sections
which required close attention in order
fhat they be fully understood. Mr. An
derson did not openly commit himself to
the bill, but left the impression tVt he
might take the opposite side after -a def
inite understanding of the bill. He was
unalterably opposed to the bribery
charges being made unless they could
be substantiated, and he earnestly asked
Messrs. Jacobson and Washburn to dis
close them without further delay.
"CHESTNUT," SAYS LAYBOURN.
In the estimation of Mr. Laybourn, the
bill had become a "chestnut" in the
house, and needed no further considera
tion by any one. He said its author had
introduced the same measure for the last
three sessions, and urged its Passage
with the same degree of enthusiasm, and

each time the legislature had, after re
viewing. It carefully, decided that the
bill should not be passed. It is Mr.
Jacobson's special hobby, he said, and
it!} alleged virtues are magnified in his
mind.
Mr. Laybourn did not hesitate to say
that he believed the railroads are now
paying their full share of taxation. T.n
proportion to other property he said the
amount of money collected from the rail
roads of the state was .very large and in
comparison with that collected In other
states, it is far greater than it might
reasonably be expected to be, when the
mileage of the varjpus£ slates is taken
into consideration.
In Mr. Jacobson's original speech he
tried to force the argument upon his
partisans that all the Republicans in the
house were bound to support his meas
ure by reason of pledges made to that
effect at the last Republican conventions
and in view of the plank in the Repub
lican platform. He appealed to the
JJemocrats also along this line, by say
ing that it is not only a Republican
partisan measure, but also a Democratic
measure.
Mr. Laybourn successfully refuted the
former statement by "proving that the
pledges and plank referred to, treated
the matter in an-entirely different way
than that represented by Mr. Jacobson.
The member from Lac ciui Parle, who
was quite vituperative and insinuating
in his remarks generally, failing to im
pugn the motives of anyone when it
might seem his cause coujd be strength
ened, was estopped in several statements
of this character by Mr. Laybourn and
other members.
Mr. Laybourn, continuing, said that the
house has heard the last of this sort of
legislation. He wanted the bill referred
to the tax commission, not only because
such a course was proper, but also for
the reason that it would relieve the
house from a useless expenditure of time
which it really could not afford to waste
at this stage of the proceedings. He
thought the legislature had done its. part
toward the inveterate author of this bi
ennial measure in giving it due consider
ation at three consecutive sessions. Now
another body should be called to the
rescue. •'
CONTRACTS ARE BINDING.
Before adverting to the validity of
passing the bill over to the tax commis
sion, Mr. Laybourn referred to the bind
ing force of the contracts existing be
tween the state and the railroads whose
dissolution is impossible at the hands of
the legislature. The rate of 3 per cent
which the roads pay the state upon their
gross earnings, he said, was fixed by the
territorial charters and when established
was intended to be perpetual and for the
legislature to attempt or undertake or
even assume to change this contract
which has stood for -all the years of
Minnesota's history, was absolutely pre
posterous. Furthermore, Mr. Laybourn
wanted to call attention to the fact that
under this rate the ati&ke has never suf
fered, but has prospered and there is ho
reason why the rate should be raised,
since the state's proportion of ihe rail
road earnings, which' embrace inter
state as well as state; are increasingly
large.
As to the tax commission's power, abil
ity or integrity Mr. Laybourn said there
could be not a single question of doubt.
In his mind it was the proper body to
consider this measure. Jt was created
for the specific purpose of investigating
and considering tax laws and reporting
upon them and why the tax laws which
applied to one class of property should be
excluded from its consideration was a
question which could not be satisfactor
ily answered. The commission is vested
w#h all the pov/ers necessary for this
task, said the St. Louis member.
And as to the ability of the commission
no one would question that. Composed
of two former attorney generals of the
state and one lieutenant governor, a^fc
of whose Judgment in matters of law are
held in the highest regard, he declared
it would be difficult or impossible to get
a" better commission. They are perfectly
honest and fair too, said Mr. Laybourn,
and no man will question their integrity.
He believed the bill would get a fairer
hearing before this tribunal of three
than it would before the legislature. Mr.
Laybourn said that former Attorney
General Ohfl.is, one of this commission,
had appeared against the railroads in be
half of the state upon just such a law
as this bill is intended to affect and why
should not his experience, ability and in
tegrity be trusted?
Asked what course Speaker Dowiing's
ruling left for the enemies of the bill,
Mr. Laybourn stated that there was
plenty of recourse which could be taken.
He insisted that the fight did not end
with that ruling and intimated that the
purport of the majority report would yet
be carried into effect. Speaker Dowllng
conceded that the committee has the
right to present a substitute report,
recommending that the substance or sub
ject matter of the bill be referred to the
tax commission. By this method, which
is no doubt the one the. committee means
to pursue, the-matter will, after all, go
to tax commission for consideration.
The opponents insist that they will not
allow the bill to get on general orders.
