PLEADING EoR cLRA

There is not in the entire country
merchant who is more generally known
than Frank 3. Thurber, of the great
wholesale grocery concern OF Thurber
Bros, New York. He is a Republican,
and a prOtectionist. But his voice has
ever been heard in sustainment Of such
policies as he believed operated to the
advancement of American trade, and to
the promotion of the welfare Of the in
dividual citizen against all combinations
or forces operating to limit or iniure that
welfare. In his career as president of
the National Anti-monopoly league some
years ago Mr.. Thurber did good work
not only in his opposition to monopoly,
but in the publication and elevation of
official character and methods
Mr.. Thprber's firm is one of the lead
ing dealers in sugar in the entire coun-
try. For years it has been one of the
largest distributors of sugar in the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Thurber is the president
of the United States Export association.
whose object is declared to be to widen
the market for American products. and
whose membership comprises lea ling
houses in ninety-eight principal lines of
industry, situated in thirty-four states
Recently he appeared before the COM
nittee of ways and means of the house
with reference to the plea of the Cuban
people that they shall he allowed access

Cuba, and urged as strongly as it was in
his power the extension TO Cuba of the
relief so necessary to the welfare of is
people, as well as to the advancement
CT the commercial interests of our own
people.
The text of Mr.. Thurber's argument
has received general circulation at the
hands Of the friends of Cuba. and it is
q strong and convincing document. In it
he warns his fellow Republicans and
protectionists that they are counting DO
litical. disaster; that they are. declaring
in effect that the trade of Cuba, which
is now being done with European ma
lions. is not worth the cost of the dis
charge Of a moral obligation which this
country owes TO the Cubans, and that
they are denying to Cuba now what they
must give her in greater measure if she
becomes, as she is no less likely to be-

Representative Afford, of Duluth in
PRODUCED bill for an amendment to the
primary election law, which caused a
furry of excitement in the house yester-
day. 1t was at first believed the object
OF the bill was to exclude cities of less
than 100000 inhabitants, from the opera
tons of the primary election law. Mr..
Afford poured Oil on the troubled waters
by explaining that his hill contempIates
only the exclusion of the independent
school districts of Duluth. Under the
present laws the officers of the school
board must be selected as other officers
They receive no salary and wish to go
to no expense.
Now the county treasurers have
troubles, which they wish to unload on
the tax committees of the legislature.
A meeting of the treasurers VIII be held
TUESDAY, at the court house, to get their
protests against the tax bill in shape and
arrange for a hearing before the legis-
lature. The county cashiers have numer-
Gus grievances, but two will be given
the preference by the ramsey, Hennepin
and ST. Louis treasurers. The proposed
code provides that the treasurers must
collect, the delinquent personal tax and
allows them compensation at the rate of
one per cent on the collections, with a
minimum fee of % cents. There is no
mileage allowance and the co~.o provides
that the treasurer must in person or by
deputy visit every delinquent. In Ram
sey county it is claimed it will be neces-
sary to put eight or ten deputies on the
road alta time when the office is busiest
making the May real estate tax coIlec-
items.
Their most strenuous kick will be
directed at the clause taking the tax
books from the treasurer and giving them
to the county auditors. The code pro-
vides that the auditor shall make dupIl-
cate pay statements with receipts at
tached. These are to be sent to the
treasurer and if not paid that day, re-
turned Cancelled. The guardians of the
public funds object to signing another's
receipts and in the three big counties the
system is said to be physically impos-
sible. In Ramsey county the treasurer's
clerks are busy six weeks after the col
lection is complete making out the re-
ceipts. wnic-- would make the daily re-
turn scheme rather difficult, at best 1t
is believed that the scheme might WORK
in the smallest counties, where the tax
commissioners are charged with seeking
the information on which they have based
the proposed law.

Milwaukee was acting in the interests of
that city in its application. It's rights
or interests are no more valuable to the
public than the others concerned. If
the demand of the commission was Just
and practicable one, then il should have
gone to the end through the courts 10
have it put in operation. No Interests
would be affected that had not been so
affected from the beginning, and no ap-
preciable loss could have been sustained
by the further delay that might have
been involved in an appeal to the courts.
Indeed the commission in that case tes-
titles effectively to it's own lack of en-
ergy in the execution of its powers I'M
der the law
There surely must be some common
ground on which the carriers and the
commission can meet for the proper ex-
tension of the power of the latter and
for the proper curtailment of the privi
leges and prerogatives of the former.
1t must be the duty of congress to find
this common ground. 1t is only by the
fullest consideration of the contending
claims and of the merits of the several
amendatory measures offered that con-
gress can reach this point.

Beginning on Sunday last, both the New York Central and the Pennsylva- nia lines put on 20-hour trains between New York and Chicago. The distance over the Pennsylvania is 912 miles and the schedule accordingly calls for an average speed of 45.6 miles an hour, in cluding stops. This is four hours fast CT than the former fastest service be- tween the two points, and eight hours less than the usual service. The fare on these trains will be $2S, or Sf addi- tional to the regular rates for every reduction of one hour from the ordina- ry time of passage. The dispatches inform us that both lines had good luck with their new service, the first trains finishing their runs yesterday on time. Equally fast trains were put on few days ago between Chicago and Denver, and it will not be long, evi- dently, before the traveller can go from ocean to ocean at an average speed, exclusive of stops, of 90 miles or more an hour.

Some new statistics show that

Some new statistics show that the scene of the present strike is the source of a far greater proportion Of our coal supplies than is generally realized. The total coal production in the past year was 67,471 ,66I short tons of hard coal and 224,769,091 of soft coal, total of 292, ,240, 75S tons. Of this amount Penn sylvania produced all the anthracite and over S0,O0O.00O tons.of bituminous, more than half of all the coal mined in the United States, more by several mil lion tons than was mined in Great Britain, five times the output Of Ger many, and eight times as much as the total production of France. With these figures before us it is easy to under stand why a cessation Of work in the Pennsylvania coal fields means a tre- merdous disturbance.

Governor Taft's mission to the vati- can may not be diplomatic in the opin- ion of Secretary Root, but he is receiv- ing treatment similar to that accorded by the consistory of the church 70 Am bassadors. Moreover, the subject mat ter of the negotiations is not merely the land of the friars in the Philipp- ines, but also the temporal powers hitherto exercised by the ecclesiastic authorities in the archipelago. The protocol to be formulated by Governor Taft in conjunction with Cardinal Rompoila may not technically be called q treaty, but the distinction will be nominal The document will not be ratified by the senate, but legisla ton by congress will be required to give it effect.

Now there is talk of five million dollar steel plant at Beaumont, Texas. The already famous oil town may be- come one of the great industrial cities of America. What a future, indeed, the whole state of Texas is destined to en- joy. With the greatest area of any American commonwealth, it has almost unlimited room for the expansion Of rapid the growth of the state has been in the last half century. The census shows that the number of it's inhabi- tants has increased from 212, ,592 in in 1850 to 604,21 in 1880, S1S,579 in 1870, 159t, 749 in 1880, 2,235, 523 in 1890 and 3.G4S,710 in 1890. in the latter year it numbers, with only New York, Penn sylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri ahead of it and in 1910 it will rank at least fifth, passing Missouri easily. New York had a population Of 1,26S. 934 in 1900, but its area is only 5, 119 square miles, while Texas has 2G6.011. When Texas becomes as thickly settled as New York is now it's population will be thirty-siS millions. There is, more over, no reason why as dense 2 pOpu- lation should not be quartered upon it. It's fields are fertile and it's mineral re- sources immense.
