OF the Northwest and in the hearts of the

brought to the highest standard Of eff

people.
1t will be known as the administration
which reduced the state tax levy while Sc

STATE MERGER LAW
SHOULD BE ENFORCED.

Tenth-The state law forbidding merger
of competing railroads should be enforced,
and that in every case; and the states neg
lected power to regulate rates should be
exercised as the prime remedy for discrim-
ination and eXtortion
Eleventh-The readjustment of our tax
laws is an absolute necessity with which
the present administration has proved it's
fncompetency to deal.
We adopt the clear and intelligent pro-
gramme submitted by the Democratic mi
nority in the late session; the taxation OF
nonresident corporations equally with do
mcstic, the adequate taxation of incomes
and we favor the amendment of the Con-
stitution to that end.
Twelfth-We favor the municipal owner
ship of public service corporations, the prin-
:iple OF direct legislation and home rule in
local taxation.
Thirteenth-We believe that the interests
of labor can best be conserved by orsaniza-
tiOn and we demand for every man who Ia
bors an equal nse Of all natural opportunt-
ties to the end that no man shall take the
proceeds Of another's labor without full
compensation therefor.
We are in favor Of the observance of a
general eight-hour workday, and that all
printing done for and supplies purchased
by the state of Minnesota shall bear the
union Label and pledge our support to or.
ganized labor in it's efforts for securing the
same.
Fourteenth-We would correct the errors
In the law establishing the state board Of
control.
Fifteenth-We recommend to the voters
the adoption of the proposed law, whose
submission to the people was secured by
the persistent efforts of the Lind admins
tration, for the increase of the railroad
grossSearnings tax.
Sixteenth-We favor the election of Unit
ed States senators by direct vote of the
people, and the election to the senate only
Of men pledged to that reform.

A BANANA TREE.
The Fruit Grows Small End Up and

Inc Fruit OF0Wu small Emu anu
IL Cut While Unripe.
Contrary to popular belief, bananas
do not grow on the tree as they hang in
the grocery, but with the small end of
the fruit pointing upward-to all ap-
pearances upside down.
There Is probably no other fruit of
such universal consumption about
which ~ little is known to the average
person MS the banana. Something like
100, ,OO0, 900 punches are annually eaten
In this country alone, but scarcely one
man in thousand not connected with
the business knows what banana tree
looks like.
The fruit is never allowed to ripen on
the tree, but is cut half or three-quar-
ters '.full''-that Is, half to threc-quar-
tiers developed-accordipg to the dis
tance it is to be shipped. and comes to
maturity by feeding from the sta k,
which contains a large amount OF sap
Bananas cut in this way attain prac-
tically the same size as If allowed to
remain on the tree, in which case the
bunch becomes too much of burden
for its support and either falls or
breaks the tree and ripens on the
ground.
After the cutting the plantation Is
cleaned" which merely consists of
severing the standing trunks within
few feet of the ground, and new tree
comes forth from the remains of its
predecessor, 30 that the fruit In all
