The grist will not be so heavy later on.
Fairmont News: When you find an
aspirant for Office that will offer to sit
IN the Office chair for less than the legal
salary, you will find q man the people.
will not elect. A county commissioner
would rightly feel insulted if. he was
asked to serve for less than the law all
lows, and even the janitor of the court
house is not asked to bid for the place;
but the printer, they will jew him down
to the last penny because it is we'll

Minneapolis Times: If the present
session Of the Minnesota legislature
does not spend more money than any,
Of its predecessors, it will not be be-
cause tho opportunity is wanting or be-
cause the chairmen of the appr1pria-

solution to investigate the state capitol
commission: is,, said; to be- not at all to
the liking Of that body and talk Of re-
, siRnation has even been ndulged id.
Now, this is what I call foolishness.
Rather the commission should court
all possible inquiry and anything short
of this will cause suspicion. The facts
are that the commission or its i'm
mediate sponsors in the Legislature de-
ceived the people, two years ago when
the definite statement was made that
the capitol could be finished for three
million dollars and the desire now to
know where all the money has gone to
is but natural and just. :.
St. Cloud Journal Press: 1.-THE sug,
gestion of the Minneapolis Times for
the people of St. Paul to 90 down in
their pockets and dig up sufficient funds
to buy land around the new capitol
building is q happy one. See If the old

one, but it will have Q to be hypnotic
with emphasis on the hyp-before St.
Paul will loosen up. Instead Of con-
tributing anything to beautify the
ground around the four and q half mil
! lion capitol, the state will be asked
three or four prices for the land, with a
commission on the side. St. Paul is
the healthiest city in the world, and
equally thrifty.
Spring Valley Mercury: If parties
interested in the canning factory at
Chatfeld will investigate the business
they will find it takes more money
three or four times over, than they
seem to think. Austin tried it with
twice the capital Chatfield builds its
hopes on and failed. Spring Valley
sent two conservative men to Wiscon
sin, who visited a number Of cannderie,
and found that it took from $50, 900 tt
$4,000 and then the new factories loos,
money until they have established a re
IPutation and are even then at th,
mercy Of the combines. A canning
factory is good thing, but we advis
Chat6eld to double or treble their pre-
sent capital before starting. !
