ia the interests OF railroads,

Ii they have supported any measure of
interest to the people it has been through
inadvertance, or because there was no
inducement to oppose it. They attempted
to secretly repeal the law Of 1891 fxirg
the salaries OF the register of deeds and
clerk of the court at $1,000 respectively,
and restore the fee system whereby these
officials would receive annually $4,000
or more; and to increase the salary Of the
county attorney from $500 to $4,000,
with that OF his assistant from $1,000 to
$1,000 year. When this plot was dis
covered they coolly insisted that it would
be for the best interests of their constitu
ents to be taxed to pay those officials
from two to four times the salaries they
receive now. The constituents, however,
not being of SO high an order Of intellect,
could not see the force of such logic, and
by emphatic and angry protests through
the press, the chamber of commerce, and
private delegations to the state capitol
induced our Solons TO drop their little
scheme Ia spite Il watchfulness OF the
people to protect themselves against the
hostile designs of their own representa-
tives in house and senate, bill granting
a thirty years exclusive franchise to a
gas and water company in West Duluth
was rushed through both branches of
the legislature under suspension Of rules
and received the signature OF the COVER
nor under pressure Of, Tams Bixby, his
private secretary and heavy stock holder
in the interested company. BY the terms
Of the franchise West Duluth with a
population Of 5000 will be taxed 1000
for it's water supply the first year, with
an average increase Of $1,000 for every
additional 1000 inhabitants, SO that BY
the time the population reaches 100000
the company will have first lien on the
treasury to the tune of $2O0,ODO year.
But, as West Duluth becomes a part of
Duluth in January 1894, the free holders
and taxpayers OF Duluth will have to
pay the lions share Of this enormous tax
in addition to the cost Of their own water
supply. La the light Of such ia as
these, can it be doubted that st. Louis
county is represented by a set Of boodlers?
