WILL RESULT BENEFIuALLY.

WILL RESULT BENEFICIALLY.
Some weeks ago The Free Press
commented upon the invasion of
Canada by the Americans and pointed
out that the great influx would sooner
or later have an effect politically up
on that country. The Duluth Herald
takes up the-question and says:
''This is question of some interest
and it is being.quite freely discussed
on both sides of the international
boundary. Some of the Canadian
papers profess to be alarmed lest the
Americans going into the Northwest
of Canada will create sentiment in
favor of annexation to the United
States, but others take the position
that the newcomers will gradually
become accustomed to Canadian insti-
buttons and be thoroughly assimilated.
There are not likely to be any very
important developments in any direc-
ton for several years. The new set
tiers will be too busy looking after
the development of their lands to
have any time to think of politics
of any kind or to endesvor to impress
their views on their neighbors. Yet
it is probable that the American set
tiers in the Dominion will favor closer
trade relations with the United States
and few years hence they may exert
much influence upon the reciprocity
question.

sTEENERsON,s PLAN.

Hon. HalVor STEVENSON, who is the
Republican nominee for congress from
the Ninth district, having plucked
the plum from among several worthy
aspirants, has plan that he believes
would, if put into practice, do away
with the trust evil. In an address he
delivered before an audience at Fergus
Falls the Crookston gentleman out
lined his scheme. Opposing the consti-
tutional amendment, as has been sug
gested by number of people, for the
reason that it would not go into effect
until the present generation has pass
ed away, Mr.. Stevenson advanced the
idea that the big corporations could be
reached without any change in the
present constitution. His plan is to
revoke the taxing power vested in the
national government. He points ,.out
that the difficulty in reaching manu-
facturers who form trusts lies in the
fact that they incorporate under state
charters, just as the state banks did
when they were issuing wildcat
money in years gone by. The national
government seemed incapable of pro-
tecting the people against this wild
cat money until someone suggested
that it be taxed. The tax was pro-
hibitory and there was no more wild
cat money. as Then the government
passed the national banking act. EN-
abling the banks that. wished tic. do SO.
to reincorporate under NATIONAL
and under strict national supervision.
This plan proved eminently-ssatisfac
tory, and the government has had no
difficulty in controlling banks since,
In like manner, he believes that a
tax can be placed on manufactured
articles that are made. byss. corpora
tions doing an interstate business and
Incorporating derssstate.= laws. q The
tax can be made. sufficiently. high. to
compel them to reincorporate under
national laws ss.and....they can then be
compelled to..s.giye exact-.saccounts of
their business, sas the. national banks
do at the present time. ...They can-rbe
compelled to charge uniform prices,
and if these prices are higher than
the cost of production competitors will
have an opportunity to step in and
undersell them all
Mr.. Stevenson states that he will in
troduce bill embodying this plan and
use every effort to secure its passage. !

FAvORs TARIFF COMMISSION.

FANO1tS SONluESSlONs
President Roosevelt, in a short
speech at Logansport yesterday de-
clared himself in favor of tariff
commission. He said that no nation
could stand radical readjustments of
tariff schedules at short intervals.
Continual sweeping changes could not
but be disastrous, but where the in
dustrial needs shift as rapidly as
they do here, where we often live
in one year what Europe does in ten,
we need the reapplication of establish
ed principles to changed conditions.
"We must readjust without resorting
to violent surgical operation, the
business of the country. We must
solve the problem with partizanship
as secondary consideration. My
own personal preferences would be for
tariff commission.
