Van SAINT Among Best Governors the
State Has Had. "a,
Samuel r. Van SAINT is among the
best governors this state has had. At
a great and momentous juncture he
stood guard, like the true. soldier he
is, for the interests of the people of
this state. When an attempt was
made to consolidate two great trans
continental railroads, he. raised his
voice to this menace to the welfare Of
the state. He did not remain an idle
spectator to this attempt. At first he
was the object of Sridicule by some !;
but when our great President Roose-
welt took up the battle against the
Trusts and applied the Sherman anti
trust law, the people began to appre-
ciate the manly stand and the fearless
policy Of our own great Van SAINT If

Few men are as we'll known today
IN the United States as is Samuel r.
Van SAINT, governor of Minnesota.
Inere are not many people in this
great land who cannot give the name
OF the governor of this state; and yet
there are but few other governors of
all the states in the union whose
names even the best Informed citizens

Is an honor not to be lightly treated;
1t is matter of great pride to every
loyal Minnesotan that our governor is
known and honored throughout our
country. No citizen can but feel a
thrill of satisfaction to have those of
distant states speak in high words Of
praise of the official head of our state.

ARNlERS SOLID FOR VAN SAINT

Even more than on account OF his
merger stand, the farmers OF the state,
indorse Gov. Van SAINT because Of the
record Of his administration In regard
to the prison binding Irvine and the
state grain insp ection. These two is
sues are sweeping the rural vote into
the Republican column. It is almost
the irony Of fate. It was upon these.
identical issues that the Democrats
won their singl victory in Minnesota.
Under the Lind administration, the,
grain inspection department lost over
5000. Under the first year Of Gov.
Van SAINTS administration, the de-
partment showed a profit Of $9,493.82.

Democratic Party Comes Out Strongly Against
an increase in Gross Earnings Tax
on Railroads.
The 81 Paul Globe, the Absolute Property Of J. J.
Hill Wages Fierce Warfare Against
Proposed Amendment.
Utter Fallacy and Inconsistency Of the Arguments
Put Forth by the Democratic Organ Against S.
#Ss the Amendment. so
on Railroads,

The expected! has, happened. The
Demo cratic party is opposing the
amendment providing for an increase
of the railroad gross earnings tax, and
this is a part Of the bargain of its lead
ers, to gain railroad support and rail,
road money. The campaign against
this amendment was naturally started
in the Democratic railroad organ, the
st. Paul Globe. The Globe is owned
absolutely by James j. Hill, president
Of the Great Northern Railroad compa-
ny.
Knowing the source Of this attack
on the gross earnings amendment,
stherelis little more that need be said
to the people as to the merits of this
opposition. The Globe argues that. if
this amendment is adopted, the tax
paid to the estate of the railroads will
be decreased, rather than increased.
If this were true, would the official or
gan of the Great Northern, 3newspa-
per owned and wholly controlled by
the president Of that company, oppose
its adoption by the people? Do the
railroads in general oppose a measure
that will decrease their taxes? Would
Mr.. Hills paper oppose a law that
would decrease the tax of his merger
railroads? Yet this is just what the
opposition. to this amendment asserts,
III Mr.. Hills own paper.
Moreover, for the past ten years this
same issue has been before the peo-
pie. Every attempt to have this law
for an increase of the gross earnings
tax on railroads adopted by the legis-
lature and submitted to thepeople, has
been fought by the railroads. Paid at
torneys of the roads have appeared be-
fore committees to argue against it;
paid lobbyists of the roads have used
their peculiar system of argument
against it, and money has been lavish
" used to defeat it. If it was to re
duce the tax Of the railroads, why have
they fought it bitterly for. the past
ten years, and spent thousands of dol
lars to defeat it? 4 Why have they
used every argument and every means
to keep the people from getting a
chance to vote on it? Why, then, does
the only newspaper in Minnesota
owned wholly by a railroad president,
take the lead against it, and tell the
people they should not vote for it? One
thing is absolutely certain, it is not
because it will reduce the tax of Mr..
Hills railroad {z

means of railway transportation He
saw that the combination Of these two
reads meant a shutting out of all other
roads and an absolute monopoly Of the
transportation business ofEtwo-thirds
OF the state. He saw that it was the
death OF railroad competition. He
knew, too, the power of such combi-
nation to wreck the political future OF
any citizen, but he never faltered or.
Wayered. AS on the field of battle he
saw before him only his country's flag,
and the states welfare. He was elect
ed to stand between the people and
just such danger, and he instantly
decided upon action The letter Of the
law OF the state was plain. There
could be no question as to it's intent,
and the legislature had passed it to
meet just such an emergency The
only question was the ability Of the
state to break down the barriers Of
technical law points raised by keen
corporation lawyers, and so force the
matter to the plain issue The ma.
@chinery of the states law department
was at once set at work on behalf Of
the people. The governor grappled
the problem, and not disc ouraged by.
temporary failure, 1or deferred by
threats, he pushed the suits until he
has now the satisfaction of knowing
that there are three we'll under way
against the merger company, the
Northern Securities Company Of New
Jersey. That these suits will be
fought to a finish is certainty if Gov.
Van SAINT is reelected. He has braved
the bitter opposition of the railroad
combination, and it is doing all money
can do to defeat him; but he has not,
and he never will. hesitate to do his
duty and enforce the law. The people
know this. They know that if he is
re elected the states suit, the one
most feared by the railroads, will not
be dropped And they are going to
elect him by an overwhe Ginning major
ity as an Endorsement of his action
in their behalf, and a rebuke to mo-
nopoly that seeks to control not alone
the transportation of the state, but its
politics.

merger question is no longer a pol;ti-5

the courts may be trusted to take care
of it. Through his committee, how
ever, he says that there is not a case
now pending in courts on the merger
question. How easy it would be for
Mr.. Rosing, if elected governor,
through the support Of these same
merger railroads, to repay them by
having the suit brought by the state,
which is the suit most feared by the
roads, dropped. The people will take
