The representative., 1900-09-06

refusing to submit to the people a propo-
sttiOn for tax reform which was demanded
by the almost united voice Of the people,
and of the press Of the state. and would
9ave added to the state treasury million
dollars or more Of needed revenue. We in
dorse the Efforts Of the administration, the
first ever made in the state, to revise and
reduce the railway merchandise tariff,
which has heretofore been based on chaos
and the corporation law to charge all the
traffic will bear; and we point to the vari-
Gus executive departments under this ad-
min1stration as conducted on a clean and
emcient and Democratic basis in the in
terests Of the people. and no one but the
people.
We condemn the unbusinesslike misman-
agement by the Republican county officials
OF their administration Of the affairs of the
people, ana we commend the courage and
manhood of Gov. Lind in removing the reg
lister Of deeds from office.
We condemn the conduct Of the clerk Of
court, a salaried Official in appropriating to
himself fees that should have been paid into
the treasury Of the county and we pledge
the Democratic party to thorough reform
OF the affairs of the county and we assure the
people that clean, honest, economical and
efficient administration OF their affairs will
replace the lax and unbusinesslike methods
OF the Republican county officials.
We congratulate the people OF the city OF
Minneapolis upon the clean and manly busi-
ness administration Of Mayor Gray.
We recommend especial attention to the
subject of highway Improvement, to the end
that the recent amendment Of our state
constitution providing for state aid for the
improvement of highways may be put into
practical effect.
We condemn the principle laid down in
the recent decision of Justice Lovely in the
Northwestern telephone case, and contend
that corporations cannot be possessed Of
tod {nht hot fh0
rights Of the people.
We heartily favor the organization Of
labor, to the end that labor in its morgan
lied weakness. shall not be required to
battle against organized capital.
We call upon all good citizens, regardless
OF past party Affiliations, to rally to the
support Of the Democratic party, which
alone stands at the present time for our
most cherished ideas.
