OFFERS HEFFELFINeER A JOB.
President Roosevelt Would Make "Pudge"
a Civil Service Commissioners

PRESIDENT roosevelt would Make "Pudge"
a Civil Service Commissioner.
Fudge Heffelfinger is to be civil serv-
Ice commissioner. There is said to be
no doubt that Mr.. Heffelfnger will ac-
cept the position offered him by the pres
ident a few days ago. The matter was
supposed to be secret, but it leaked out
through the regular official channels.
Roosevelt is a strenuous man. He has
the reputation and likes to live up to it,
'Pudge" is a strenuous man. He proved
1t at Yale in the gentle game of foot
ball, where the best man wins and there
are no "fourfluSherS."
Hefeltnger is one of the most famous
football men in this country. He knows
the game inside out. President Roosevelt
has seen him play it. The way Heffel-
finger played the game made a hit with
the president. Every time Roosevelt
has come to Minneapolis he has
insisted on meeting Walter Heffelfinger.
Every time he has met Heffelfinger he has
thlrsted for another meeting.
The Heffelfinger man is a man not to
be overlooked. He has the shoulders
OF a goliath and the initiative of a Roose-
welt. He would sooner buck a tough
line than eat a thick steak, even with
mushrooms and potatoes au gratin on the
side Heffelfinger has not yet accepted
the offer made him Heffeifnger could
nave been mayor years ago, his friends
say: had he chosen to seek the office, but
he insisted on sticking to business.

WEIGHING RATE QUESTION
Roads Considering Feasibility OF Adopting
AGENT Basis.


The president of strong middle west
line has asked his traffic department
whether it is practicable to introduce a
2-cent passenger rate in the west.
There is no longer any question that
not only this line, but several, are con-
sidering the 2-cent rate" said a general
passenger agent yesterday. None Of the
lines into Minneapolis has taken up the
question yet, so far as I am informed, but
they would be forced to make reductions
should a 2-cent rateigo In competitive ter
ritory.
IF all the Minneapolis lines could form
an agreement to put in the fiat rate of 2
cents mile for passengers carried, and
at the same time withdraw all passes,
special concessions, clergy permits and
other forms of transportation that bring
down the average cost per person carried,
I am confident that the rate would go in,
and that it would prove a very desirable
thing.
"A fiat rate Of cents would increase
business for time, but in this territory it
would not continue to improve passenger
traffic. The population is not sufficiently
dense. While the novelty lasted, people
would undoubtedly travel more freely.
When the rate became the accepted thing
they would insist on 1t without travelling
more than usual"

State Auditor Iverson says that only
six freight line companies have filed
statements of their property as required
by the law passed last winter He be-
lieves there are forty mine such COM
panies operating in the state. The new
law requires them to make a statement Of
the market value Of their capital stock
and bonds. from which the value in Min
nesota is to be determined on a basis
of car mileage. The assessments are to
be made blythe state board Of equaliza-
ton. and the companies are to pay &C
cording to the average tax rate OF the
state If they do not make statements,
the state auditor is to make an arbitrary
assessment according to his best infor-
nation, and a ten per cent penalty Is to
be added.
The matter will be brought up before
the board Of equalization next month
1t Is probable that the companies will
contest the act in the courts. In case
they fail to pay, the law requires the
attorney general to bring an action.
