IN order to retain the North Star
Shoe Company's factory in Anoka for
another seven years that city is re-
quired by the company to expend about
$4,000 in the improvement of the plant.
AnOka has already donated ten or
twelve thousand dollars to the shoe
company. A factory that gives employ
ment to working people is good thing
to have in a town, but Anoka has paid
dearly for it's shoe factory. If Anoka
had expended in public improvements
the same amount of money it has paid
to secure the insane hospital and the
shoe factory it would have proved far
more satisfactory Investment and more
permanent benefit to it's citizens would
have resulted therefrom. This thing
of giving bonuses to public or private
institutions is wrong in principle, more
particularly SO if the donation is made
at the expense Of the taxpayers of the
community

exercised over "a bill for an act to pre-

SECTION 1. That no publisher of q newspa-

cover the subscription price or any other sum
for any such newspaper or periodical furnished
which has not been subscribed for nor for any
period beyond the time covered by the sub
scription unless the subscriber renews his
subscription or directs it's continuance.
SEC. 2. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage. ..-;

fail to see how any legitimate newspa-

The beef combine has cot it right in
the neck in the state Of Missouri. The
Armour, Cudahy, Swift, Hammond and
the Schwartzchilds & Sulzberger pack
ing companies, the five defendants in
the custer proceedings brought by the
attorney general of Missouri against
the alleged beef combine last summer,
were fined $4,000 each in the Missouri
supreme court and ordered to pay the
costs of the case, which amount to
SIS, 900. Unless the fines and costs are
paid within thirty days the defendants
will be ousted from the state, so the
court orders. This is what comes of
putting the legal thumb screws to the
beef trust. All that was needed was
the proper ferreting out of the facts in
the case which demonstrated that the
beef combine was doing all in it's power
to cripple the small dealers and get
the markets of the large cities of the
state right where they wanted them.
We trust that. those who are always
grumbling and saying that the courts
never do anything for the poor people
will take due notice of this action.
