That Is the Object of the Second
Bill of Polk County Parent

The Popu1ists in the state legislator

roads and the railroad and warehouse
commission which was foreshadowed
by the resolutions adopted Tuesday by
the state central committee Of the Peo-
pies party.
to have been chosen to fire the opening
gun of the campaign, and he fired two
yesterday morning $50 @t
One raked the railroads fore and aft
and demand a 20 per cent cut
in freight rates on all business
done in the state. The measure is
unique in it's style. Ordinarily laws
providing a maximum freight rate for
carriers Of commodities provide fixed
scale for the service arranged in pro-
portion to the scale Of miles carried.
This measure is different, however, in
that it calls attention to the report Of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sioners, recently filed with the gov
ernOr, and provides that after July l
freight rates shall be eight-tenths
of the rates prevailing at the
time Of the last report Of the railroad
and warehouse commissioners, as
shown thereby.
The law is penal one, and provides
methods for reaching companies which
fail to comply with it.
The second law provides for the en-
tire abolition of the railroad and ware
house commission, and the perform
ance of the duties now allotted to that
department by the attorney general 1t

ploy all needed clerical assistance, I'M
der which classification, presumably,
the senator would class the state grain

one in which a party of lawyers would
not shine particularly
Senator Ringdal says that the rail-
roads have been so aggressive in their
measures of oppression that they have
overreached themselves, and they are
about to be called up with a sharp turn.
There Is just a possibility that the
appointments sent to the senate yes
terday by the governor will be turned
down, although it appears to be a slim
one. The state federation Of labor Is
camping on the trail Of Labor Commits
sioner Powers, while the Populists are
not inclined to be very friendly to
railroad Commissioner Kingsley The
story has been circulated that prior to
his appointment he was a railroad at
torney; that his selection was dictated
by the railroad interests, and in view
or the fact that the Populists' party
organization has declared in favor Of
the abolition of the commission entire
ly, 1t is possible that a bitter fight will
be made on both of these nominations
when the senate reconvenes
The paramount question in the Dunn
Day contest over the senatorial seat in
the Sixth district is the personnel OF

President Gibbs, by the way, does not

TILT ON TEMPERANCE.
Senator Keller Develops q Little
of His Old Fire

Senator Keller introduced a resoIu-
uon for a committee of eleven from
each house to investigate the condition
OF the sugar beet and potato alcohol
industries of Minnesota and report to
the mouse. On a viva voce vote, the
resolution appeared to be defeated and
the StearnS county orator was on his
feet in a minute. 1t was the first real
b1t OF old times in the present session.
His style has not changed a bit.
L spent some time in Germany last
summer" said he, Investigating these
things. and 1 found the production a
great success. While we are the most
enterprising people in the world, we
ought to have guardian appointed.
we are a lot of fools. Our vegetables
are being shipped East, and then
pressed, soaked in cinnamon or other
oils, and shipped back as natural
spices. The people of Minnesota. are
overlooking their chances
Senator Wyman wanted the alcohol
section left out. Senator Stevens moved
to amend by inserting such alcohol
to be used for medical or medicinal
purposes only"
Again the doughty senator from
Stearns was on his feet.
What do you want that in there
for? Let the farmers of Minnesota
make potato alcohol if they can sell
1T. They can make whisky from it
better than the smoked stuff, rot-gut.
which is now sold in this country.
and why? Because the government is
behind this system. There are two
things we can make out of the in
gradients in these potatoes, starch and
whisky. [ do not see what difference
it makes which we make, except that
1t costs great deal more to start
starch factories than potato alcohol
works. That is all. Every farmer
could make alcohol, but not all of them
could raise $4,000 or 1000 to start a
starch factory. The great objection
to starch factories is their great risk.
The insurance companies will not in
sure them"
Senator Wynan thought that the
people Of Minnesota did not want any
more whisky or alcohol than they had.
1t was cheap enough now He wanted
the resolution changed, because he was
as friendly to the beet-sugar interest
as was the senator from Stearns him
self. He did not want to see that en-
dangered by being coupled with the
alcohol clause.
The gnarl was finally Strengthened
out by the abandonment for the time
being of the section redating to wood
alcohol.

TALKED ON DEVOTION.
An Interesting Address by the
Countess Wachtmeister

Countess Constance Wachtmeister
addressed the st. Paul TheosophicaI
society at its regular weekly meeting
last night on the subject Of Devotion,
and True Prayer" The lecture was
not SO absorbing in it's revelation and
explanation Of the principles of theos-
ophy as were some of the previous ad-
dresses delivered by the countess. but
considered apart from any religious
creed or belief it was certainly an elo-
QUent effort. 1t was a plea in behalf
Of unselfishness, love of mankind. de-
VOtiOn to others. These should be the
motives Of life. Countess Wachtmeis-
ter maintained that man could not
worship a deity entirely beyond his
conception or comprehension Who
could behold the starry heavens con-
tanning thousands of stars, each sur
rounded by a system Of planets, and
begin to comprehend or imagine the
nature of the deity that could hold
such vast universe under his con-
troll? The nOblest and best thing man
could worship was his highest ideal.
He should live for others, not for him
self The spirit of love should be in
fused into mankind. The countess en-
phasiZed her appeal with number of
quotations from scripture, amplifyfng
the Messiah's commandment, love thy
neighhOr as myself

LIQUOR DEALERS ANNUAL.

The ST. Paul branch of the State

held its annual meeting yesterday in
the new hall in the Stees block at Sew
enth and jackson streets. The funds
OF the association are at present tied
up owing to the suspension Of the Bank
Of Minnesota. In view Of this fact. the
members all came to the front with
dues for the next three months in adj
vance. Matters Of interest to the as
ISOLATION, but of no particular moment
to the general public, were discussed.
The annual election resulted in the
following officers being chosen:

adjustment. To right discrimination
against one shipper In q small communi-
ty may not be great achievement,
but you must remember that the rights
OF all the other shippers in that neigh
borhood are involved and are benefited
by such adjustment. The establish
ment or station on some line of road
to accommodate shippers, Is another
small matter, but it shows that the
commission has the interests Of the
producer and shipper at heart when
they make the investigation of the
complaint and order the station built
Another important matter the farm
ers and shippers overlook is the fact
tnat we have control Of more than
100 men engaged in the work Of inspect
ing and weighing grain, and In other
wise protecting the interests Of the
producers and shippers. How could
the attorney general supervise the ma
ch1nery Of the inspection department.
not to mention the complaints that
would be sent to him from all parts
OF the state on matters, some Of them
trivial, but none the less important, be-
cause involving the rights Of every 9TH
er producer in the state
THE state railroad and warehouse
commission needs no defender. The
attacks made on it come generally
from persons who are ignorat of the
WOIh VI Inc COMMISSION and what it
Is doing for the state. There Is no
department Of the state that accom-
plishes more for the farmer than this
much malfgned commission The only
reason we do not accomplish more is
because complaints are not made to
US in the proper way. Though we
may have knowledge Of a discrimina.
ton or a wrong, we cannot act to right
that wrong or ADJUST the discrimina-
ton until complaint concerning one or
both are properly brought to our notice.
we nave been endeavoring to get con-
troll OF the express companies as we
have Of the railroads. The companies
are fighting hard to keep their affairs
out OF the commissioners hands. If
we can get from these companies u
rate sheet and an annual report, we
can put an end to the discrimination
that is practiced by every company.
In the matter Of express companies
alone in saving to the public would
pay many times the cost of mainte-
nance OF the commission. If the man
who declares the commission worthless
and an expensive luxury will take the
pains to Investigate the work of the
commission, what it has done and what
1t has outlined for the future, he will
readily see that he is under a grave
misapprehensiOn."

For StenOgraphic REPORTS.

The Minneapolis Times submitted prop
osition to print an abstract Of the legisla-
tive proceedings as a supplement to it's
regular edition.
The fact that while the paper offered to
have corps of stenographers there it did
not promise to print full and accurate re-
ports of 'all' speeches aroused the suspicious
of some Of the members, among them Senator
Keller, who objected to giving the privilege
to the Minneapolis Times Senator Greer,
however, moved that the matter be referred
to a committee of three to confer with a
similar committee from the house. Senator
Stevens said the crying need of state legis-
lation was the lack of opportunity to get the
details Of legislative action before the people.
Before passage the Greer motion was
amended so to provide that the COM
mittee should receive bids from other papers
in the state when considering the subject.
The committee was not appointed.
