DRAIN ON CHARITIES
Season Just Closing Has Been Busiest TO
Years f.

More than twice as many applications
for assistance were received by the Asso
ciated Charities in December, January and
February than were received in the CORE
spending months last season. Secretary
J. F. Jackson in explaining this condition,
declares that it was due to the extra de-
mands made upon the poor because Of the
long continued period of unusually cold
weather and that there was not so much
employment for unskiled labor.
The lack Of employment Is believed to
have been due to reduced business activ-
ity and to the fact that the severe weather
made it impossible to prosecute accus-
toned lines Of winter work. The strike of
the millers Is also thought to have had
it's influence In attracting to Minneapolis
an influx of labor, enlarging the competi-
ton for such work as was carried on.
1.-THE generosity of wealthy people in
meeting unusual demands by furnishing
empl oyment or otherwise has been a
bright spot in the situation ~ said Presi-
dent Jackson. THE doubling of our work
did not double our demands, altho it in
creased them. The passing Of cold weather
does not abate the demands for organized
charity. Each season has It's peculiarities
and It's difficulties. Cincinnati, Milwaukee,
Des Moines, Indianapolis and Chicago have
also reported greatly increased demands
over previous seasons

DREAD DEADLY j

Linemen Know Their Dangers
City Council Asked for Safe
guard Ordinance.

Death from electric shock is always
feared by electrical workers, and par
ticularly linemen, and the intention
of certain local companies to increase
the high tension currents in their
overhead system fills the electrical
workers with alarm. In order to place
additional safeguards around it's
members the union has memorialized
the city council to consider the. whole
matter and convert into ordinances
such regulations as the electrical
workers think are necessary for the
protection Of their lives.
1t is proposed that all cross-arms
and other fixtures bearing high-ten-
sion currents of 500 volts or over shall
be distinguished by some mark such
as a white stripe. Electric light and
power wires should clear all other
wires by two feet when intersecting
and by four feet when parallel. Guard
and feeder wires should clear poles
carrying grounded systems by at least
foot and should be excluded from
poles carrying grounded systems, as
should also light and power wires.

He viii Say Nothing Except That He Is
Homesick.
The return Of Eugene G. Hay, candidate
last season for the republican nomina-
ton for congress and at present appraiser
of the port of New York, has started the
story that his visit has something to dc
with his political intentions and that his
stay here is the forerunner of his perma-
nent return to Minneapolis and another at
tempt at the nomination.
Mr.. Hay declined to be quoted on the
subject this morning. FIe did say how
ever: While it is true that my wife is a
little homesick in New York am the more
homesick of the two"
Former Congressman Fletcher and Mr.
Hay met by chance at Hennepin avenue
and Third street this morning, and attic
they were engaged in conversation fol-
several minutes Mr.. Hay afterward said
that politics was not touched upon while
they were together.

BOARD rs INQUIR1NG
MIR. Jordan's Charges About Shoe Contract
BEING Considered

w. B. Jordan, who is agitating the
question Of good faith in the award Of
the state prison shoe contract, says in
a lengthy statement given out that on two
occasions the present contractor, R.. H
Bronson, spoke to him Of buying out War
den VOTERS interest in the company. He
infers from this that the stock Bronson
owned was merely held in his name for
Wolfer. The warden and Bronson deny
that Wolfer has any interest in the plant
or the contract. The board of control
has been investigating. and will give out
"a statement in a day or two. It Is be-
lieved that Bronson's remarks, which
were made when the warden had resigned
to go into business. referred to a con-
tingent interest Wolfer had at that time
in the new contract.

On Monday of this wee k the U.
s. supreme court gave its decision
on the famous "merger" case,
the decision being in favor of the
.. S., and declaring the railway
merger to be in defiance of the
Sherman anti law. The
court was about evenly divided in
its opinion, four of the jurtices dis
senting from the dicision of the
other five. The case grew out of
the attempt of J. J. Hill and J. P.
Morgan to organize a corporation
known as the Northern Securities
Co., the purpose of which was to
consolidate under one management
the Great Northern and the North.
ern Pacific railroad systems.s These
two parallel lines of road between
St. Paul and the Pacific coast have
practically a monopoly on the traf-
fic between those two points and
all intervening territory. Action
was brought in the district court
of Minnesota against the new COM
pany on the grounds that the
merging Of the two competing lines
was designed to destroy competi-
tion, was in restraint of trade, and
therefore a violation of the Sher-
man anti trust law. The district
court decided against the Northern
Securities company. An appeal
was taken to the United States su-
preme court, which has sustained
the decision of the lower court.
The decision is a victory for the an
THRUST movement, but it would be
too optimistic & view to suppose
that it is q final defeat Of the stock
holders Of the two railroads. The
stock is still held by the parties
who constitute the Northern secur-
| tiles Co., and some means will be
devised to destroy competition,
though the new plan may be less
| dangerous and less apt to- be i'm
itated BY other large companies
than the one just defeated.

A comparison of the census re-
ports of 1890 and 1900 show that
the total gain in populstion in this
state during the ten years was &c.
219. During that perion the gain
in the % eastern counties, all of
which lie east of Dawson county,
was 56,276, or 81 more than the
entire gain in the state. The coun-
ties west of Dawson county in the
aggregate therefore, actually lost
in population during that period,
and the center of population NOV
ed east. At this rate how long
will it be before Pierre becomes the
center of population?

One of the arguments whice the
supporters of Pierre are putting
forth is that the state lands, which
are expected to help support the
different state institutions, all lie
nearer to Pierre than to Mitchell.
They assume that proximity to the
capital will enhance the value of
these lands from SIS to $40 per acre
and try to make the people believe
that there will be great financial
advantage to the state in leaving
the capital in the vicinity of these
lands. There is only one fault with
this argument and that is that
proximity to the capital never has
and never will, make difference
of one cent in the value of this
land. A glance at the report Of
the state board of equalization will
show that this is true. If proxim
ity to the capital enhances the val
ue Of land we should find the as
sessed value of land in Hughes
county higher than it is in other
counties in that vicinity, but this
is not the case. The assessed val
ue Of land in Hughes county in
1908 was $3.50 per acre. Grant.
ing that the assessed value is only
one third of the real value this
would make the real value $3.50
per acre. If the proximity to the
capital has enhanced the value of
this land $40 per acre then with
out the capital it would be worth
10 cents per acre less than nothing.
If, on the other hand. after pos
sessing the capital for IA years the
value has not been enhanced there
by what reason have we to believe
that it would be during the coming
IA years? But further, we find
from this report that land values
in Hyde county, lying east of
Hughes, are placed higher by the
board of equalization; in Hand
county still higher, and increase
in each county as you go east and
get farther from the capital. But
our Pierre friends may claim that
we are unfair in comparing Hughes
county land with that lying farther
east in better developed portions
of the state. We will therefore
make comparison with lands di-
rectly north of them. Going di-
rectly north from the north line of
Hughes county so miles we come
to Walworth county, and here we
find the land assessed even higher
than in Hughes county, yet it is
farther north, just as far west, has
no better railroad advantages, aud
is connected by rail with the capi-
tai only by the round about way of
Aberdeen and Wolsey, a distance
of ESQ to 800 miles. We are also
told by the Pierre supporters that
by leaving the capital at Pierre We
shall hasten the time when the
school lands can be sold and thus
increase the revenues in the public
school fund. To this argument it
is only necessary to say that there
are over $4,000 acres of public
school land in Hughes county, and
in the IA years that the capital has
been located in that county less
than one section Of this land has
been sold, and not an acre sold in
any adjoining county, so the capi-
tai seems to be a poor promoter of
school land sales. There is but
one conclusion to draw from these
facts, and that is that land values
are determined BY the productive
ness Of the soil and convenience to
market, and that the capital loca-
tion will have no effect upon the
value Of our state lands whatever.
