POWERS GOLD ARGUMENTS.
Political Operations of the Labor
Bureau Are Challenges.

Senator Ringdars resolution for the
appointment of a committee of five to
investigate the alleged offensive par
ttSanship of the state labor bureau
passed the senate by q three fourths
vote yesterday. but President Gibbs
would not do the Polk county Populist
the usual courtesy of making him
chairman. Instead, T. D. Sheehan at
last got craftsmanship that he could
conscient1ously accept
Senator Ringdal said that it was a
Well-knoWn fact that departments of
this character were wont to drift away
from the purpose for which they We're
established and to become devoted to
the exposition of theories He did not:
make any charges against that de-
partment, but he was aware of the
fact that the laboring people of this
state were largely dissatisfied with the
course of the department. which had
been established at the instance of a.
large and worthy element Of the peo-
pie Of the state. If it had drifted
away from that standard which it was,
intended to maintain, he thought it,
should be investigated He had looked
through the voluminous report Of the
department for 1856 and could not
find word in relation to q number Of
subjects in which the labOrlng classes
were most interested. Not word
was there in regard to the condition of
labor in the state, factory inspection
and kindred topics which it was the
intention Of the legislature in creating
the department to have it investigate.
What it did contain might no doubt,
be within the letter of the law, but it
was plainly not within its spirit in the
opinion Of the labOring people of the
state at large.
Senator Wyman charged that the Or-
II
mated from political antagOnism, based
on the fact that the bureau had, dur
ing the last year. published a book sus-
tanning the financial beliefs of one pa-
litical party. He did not believe an
opposition so based warranted the state
in spending its money for a costly in
VeStgdtiOn.
Senator Ringdal said it was a fact
that labor organizations generally
without regard to party, had con-
demned the attitude Of the department.
Senator Howard said that, as his col
league from Hennepin had admitted
that the report Of the department had
gone out of the consideration of labor
and labor statistics to dabble in partj-
san politics, it was high time that the
bureau was being investigated. He
believed that the senate should take
a position on this matter, which would
at least keep future commissioners
within the bounds within which the
law had been aimed to confine it.
The roll was called on the adoption
of the resolution, and it was carried.
Those voting against it were Senators
Cole Currier Greer, w E. Johnson.
Ozmun, Pottgieser, Roverud, Smith,
Stebbins, Stockton. Wyman, Young
r.
The president appointed Senators
Sheehan, Peterson, Young, Wyman and
Ringdal. Senator Wyman begged off,
and Senator Larson was named.

they are anxious to aid the churches, to
which they are an auxiliary, in making
the towns and cities better for their
being in them.

CONVICT LABOR AND GOOD ROADS


In connection with the interest felt
by the people of this state in highway
improvement, and with what we have
already said as to the system under
which this might be brought about, we
desire TO remind the members of the
legislature once more of a suggestion
which we have repeatedly put forth in
the past This is that, a law should be
passed providing for such employment
of the convicts in our state prisons as
may be found practical BILE in the work
of road construction and repair. Both
in theory and in practice this idea COM
mends itself IN the strongest possible
way to all of our people. The problem
Of employing criminals has not been
by any means worked out. New York
state is suffering at this moment from
the conflict between the demand of
honest labor that it be freed from pris-
on competition. and the demand of hui
mainly and reform, that those con-
fined by the state should have some
regular occupation. Prison labor has
been done away with there to a very
large extent, and it is but a few days
since a convict committed suicide be-
cause he was driven to it by enforced
idleness. We say deliberately that it
would be less cruel on the part of the
state to extend the death penalty and
execute persons who are now sentenced
to imprisonment for considerable terms
than to shut them up for years with
out that wholesome provision for in
dustry which is necessary TO the preser-
walton of either body Or mind What
to do with the convict is a serious
matter.
| Now, to employ him in the improve
ment of public roads is not to do any
injury to free labor. 1t is not to take
a job away from any honest man. 1t
does relieve the state Of just so much
Of the expense of highway improve
ment, and it advances that work i'm
mensely by making available immedi-
| ately large force OF men where only
q few could be enployed.if cash wages
had to be paid by the state or county.
The matter must be dealt with care
fully. because we mist not lose sight
/ of the fact that tha reform of the Of

THE STATE AND THE TRUSTS.
President Cleveland. in his latest
message, touching upon the subject of
trusts and the failure Of congressional
legislation. owing to our federal and
state division OF authority, suggested
that the remedies with the states.
Illinois. Wisconsin, and New York have
already demonstrated the suff1ciency Of
the power OF the states to deal with
these industrial monsters, where the
disposition to act has existed on the
part Of the attorneys general. Georgia
has recently enacted an antitrust law
that Is said to have driven every trust
out OF the state. 1t is Certainly q strin-
gent and sweeping. enactment. but it's
full effect is yet to be ascertained. It's
principal virtue lies In the invalidation
of all contracts made by the trust, with
the consequent denial of the use of the
courts to enforce them
that the common law contains ample
provision of~meafls to deal with these
monopolistic excrescences upon the
body of our industry, if law officers care
to invoke it. No corporation can be
formed in a state or, If formed else
where, can transact business within
any state without the sanction of the
state. No corporation can be formed
in or invade the state if it's purposes
are unlawful 1t makes no difference
whether their purposes violate statute
or the common law. either. is sufficient
to prevent. Grand juries can investi-
gate and indict. The equity powers Of
our courts are ample. The attorney
general can bring quo warranto against
any or all of the trusts he, and. every
one knows are operating in our state,
if he will, to show cause by what right
they transact business here He can
hardly plead ignorance of their exist
that impairs his vision. In ten min
utes walk in the business section he
will see the signs of the lead trust the
biscuit trust. the rubber, trust the lin
seed trust, the leather trust, and in
quiry might easily locate the office Of
the resident agent of the Sugar trust
Not one of these could come into court
and show a lawful right to transact it's
business within this state. It's own
showing of its organization and meth
DDS would reveal unlawful purposes, vi
statutory law and of that primal pro-
vision of all cooperative acts that the
purpose must be lawful.
Let us have done with this farce. Let
us cease Illuminating laws against
trusts, or enforce them. If they have
become our masters, let us submit with
what grace we can. If they are iegiti-
mate evolution of industrial progress
and all old notions are" become obso-
lete, let that be admitted, that we may
adjust ourselves and our ideas to the
new and irreVocable. Above all let us
have surcease Of this vicious enactment
of dead letter laws against corporations
that are not enforced with the inevi-
table result of fostering the too preva-
lent feeling that repressive laws are
only for the poor and weak. and against
them the wealthy and strong are inn
mune. Nothing breeds discomfort, that
takes form in expressions of anarchical
sentiments, so extensively as the i'm
punity with which these trusts disre-
gard the law. If social revolution
