Many projected amendments to the new

when brought into comparison with the

proposed have been dismissed by the COM

One is the proposition to permit only

Even after the legislature has considered II
this session, mistakes will undoubtedly be

Duluth people seem united against the
two obnoxious provisions of the tax bill,
the change in vessel taxation, and the
taxation of grain in elevators. Senat or
Daugherty fayors an organized movement
by Duluth business men to secure changes
in these two particulars. Colonel Anton

Much Interest in TIE coming session of
the le4~' slature centers on the governors
message, which will be presented the first
day, and is expected to guide the men,
bers in large measure as to their course
of action.
The governor agrees with the large ma
jority of legislators in wanting short
session, and in limiting it's work as close
ly as possible. He will not trouble the
legislature with a long winded document.
The principal purpose OF his message will
be to introduce the report of the tax
commission to the consideration of the
two houses. That report explains itself,
and will need no comments from the gov
ernor. He will probably express his ap-
prevail Of it in general terms.
But one other subject will be mentioned
in the message, so the report goes. The
governor will briefly explain the origin
Of the suit against the Northern Sc
curities company, the reason for bringing
it, and the situation that now exists. He
will ask the legislature, in view of the
magnitude of the case, TO provide the at
ton to carry it through. He may not ask
for definite sum, but leave that to the
discretion of the legislature.
No other legislation will be mentioned
in the message. and the merger problem
will not come before the legislature eX-
cept in this indirect way. Other emer-
gency legislation may be requested later
in the season, as need for 1t shall ap-
pear.
The message will be read to both houses
sitting in joint convention in the house
chamber, according to custom. Both
houses will probably adjourn for the day
soon after, and there will be no chance
for the introduction of bills That even
ing it is intended to hold the republican
caucus.
"PluEging'' for Pet Bills.
There will be contest in the caucus
over limiting the introduction of bills.
Speaker Dowling's scheme to shut out
all general legislation, with the ption
of local bills and curative acts, meets
with much favor, but members have pet
bills they are anxious to introduce. A
good many want to tinker with the board
of control bill, one way or the other
either by amending the title or by drop

Several members have bills in pickle
intended to repeal the act of 1899 max

discussion of this nature in the news
papers and among members, and if the
way is opened such bill will be intro
duced with pretty good prospect of pas

Washington, Jan. 23.-The house COM

Representative Henry of Connecticut to
report an anti oleomargarine bill.

tax on oleo colored in imitation of dairy

phraseology of the Grout bill were decided
upon by the committee. The most i'm

the .uncolored article and colors it in
imitation of butter and vends or sells it
shall be deemed a manufacturer and shall
pay the tax of $500 year imposed in the
present law. The second amendment pro-
vides penalty for failure on the part of
manufacturers to keep accurate records

cation of the handling Of packing-hous
products, the commission says:
Sometimes rebates were paid, sometimes the
freight was billed at the cut rate and some
times the published rate was reduced when
the freight money was paid. The important
fact disclosed from the testimony is that
packing-house products are habitually car.
red from points Of origin to the seaboard at
rates below the published tariff of to 10
cents per 100 pounds.
Then, discussing the evil effects of this
state Of affairs, the report says:
The commission required the carriers to
file statements showing the number of cars
shipped and the rates actually charged. When
these received, the gross amount of the
rebates can be determined; at present it
only be said to reach hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars While the general public prob
ably receives some benefit from these lower
rates in the main these sums swell the
profits Of the packers These great concerns
number only about five Six and little dis
tinction in the rates appears to have been
made between them. The effect is to give
them an enormous advantage over smaller
competitors located at other points. Already
these competitors have mostly ceased to ex-
list. These disclosures afford pregnant illus
tration of the manner in which secret rate
concessions are tending to build up great
trusts and mohopolies at the expense of the
small Independent operator.
Inc aOulL1Oud1 statement IS maze IQaS
all of the traffic officials who admitted
that the secret low rates were being CIV
en- the favored shippers, maintained that
| the published tariffs, the rates exacted oe
! the smaller shippers, were too low.
The MiIlers' Interest.
The commission also found, on investi-
eating complaints made by western mill
| ers, that the carriers east of Chicago made
! no serious pretense of maintaining the
export rates on wheat, and that the car
I riers had agreed among themselves upon
a rate from Chicago 21s cents below the
published tariff, resulting in a discrimina-
tion Of from 21a to cents against -four.
| The open wheat tariff from Kansas City
| to Chicago has been II cents and the
actual rate as low as cents.
Taking up the practice prevalent in the
| west of allowing some particular indi-
vidual concession which enables him to
! handle practically all the grain trans
ported upon particular railway, the re-
| port says. e,
| While the Investigations OF the commission
| have not fully covered this aspect of the case
! and we know, from repeated complaints re-

Dealing with the traffic associations the
commission states that the secret
agreed" rates have been manipulated
through these agencies and says:
Concerted Action Necessary.
It is not the business of this commission
to enforce the antitrust act, and we express
no opinion as to the legality Of the means
adopted by these associations. We simply
call attention to the fact that the decisions
Of the United States supreme court in the
trans Missouri and Joint Traffic Association
cases have produced no practical effect upon
the railway operations of the country. Such
associations, in fact. exist now. as they did
before those decisions, and with the same
general effect. In justice to all parties. We
ought probably to add that it is difficult to
see how our interstate railways could be oper-
ated without concerted action of the kind
afforded through these associations.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The annual report
+ of the interstate commerce commission
was transmitted to congress to-day. It
renews the declaration made in previous
reports that in it's present condition the
act to regulate commerce cannot be en-
forced. AS to remedial legislation the
commission renews its previous state
ment that it 'has little to suggest and
nothing new to propose
The feature of the report is the almost
sensational statement of the relations ex-
listing between the railroads and COM
paratively few heavy shippers. Referring
to the commissions recent Investigations
into the movement of packing house
products and Of grain products, the report
says: -..-
The facts therein developed are of such a
character that 40 thoughtful person can con-
template tfem with Indifference. That the
leading traffic officials of many of the prin-
cipal railway lines, men occupying high posi-
tons and charged with the most important
duties, should deliberately violate the statute
law Of the land and in some cases agree
with each other to do so; that it should be
thought by them necessary to destroy vouch-
ers and to SO manipulate bookkeeping as to
obliterate evidence of the TRANSACTIONS; that
hundreds of thousands Of Collars should be
paid in unlawful rebates to few great pack
ing houses: that the business of railroad
transportation should to such an extent be
| conducted in open disregard Of law, must
be surprising and offensive to all right
minded persons.
Equally startling is the fact that the own
ers of these packing houses, men whose
| names are known throughout the commercial
world, should seemingly be eager to augment
| their gains with the enormous amounts of
| these rebates which they receive in plain
defiance of a federal statute.
Law Should Be Amended.
Their are palliating circumstances under
| which every traffic official act, the COM
mission is not unmindful, and the opinion
| is expressed that existing laws should be
so amended that every railway manager
who desires to observe them can do go
| without risk of sacrificing his property.
! The report says
| The application of the remedy is fraught
| with dangers to the public and it should
| not be applied unless the public is fully pro-
| tected.
