"To the Editor

surprise at the wonderful relief and

Hyomei. For some years past l have
been a victim to nasal and throat

specialists, and had my throat sprayed,
washed and smoked week after week.
The first time I used Hyomei I was
surprised at the change it brought. This
was few months ago, and / have used
it occasionally since. It makes me so
we'll that often forget and neglect it's

AS to Determinations.

The committee found IS per cent of
complaints involving determinations to
be based on interstate rates and viola
tions Of the long and short haul clause.
This clause should be Uniformed, it
holds, even in cases of water competi-
ton. It is enforced in state business by
the railroad commission. Complaints of
this character, such as that Of st. Cloud
granite men, were taken up by the COM
mission.
The committee admits it has been I'M
able to discover any exact basis for the
present standard Of rates, or any rail
road man who could explain the theory
of railroad rates. Minnesota, however,
should, with it's facilities, enjoy mini
mum freight rates. Statistics show
Minnesota rates higher than those of
Iowa, gross earnings being 60 per cent
greater per mills. The Minnesota rate
per ton per mile is lower, but on high
class traffic Iowa rates are lower. 1t is
doubted whether distance tariff
based on Iowa rates would bring any
reduction if applied to all traffic.
Iowa s system has developed no large
center of population, which is held to
be material advantage to Minnesota
producers in furnishing them a market.

WARE BILL PASSED IN HOUSE AZ

It Makes 2H2 Cents the Maximum Fare
Bill Creating State Humane Socie-
ty Fails to Secure Necessary Votes.

With seven votes to spare, the Ware
bill establishing maximum passenger
fare Of 2h cents mile on Minnesota
railroads, passed the house today. The
vote on the measure was 81 to. 30. >
John G.. Lennon of Hennepin made
the principal speech against the bill.
He urged that antirailroad legislation

receive 100000 additional in railroad

the state had increased by third the
taxes on railroads, the Ware bill pro-

per cent. He opposed the bill on the

cents, and that mileage. books and. ex-
cursion rates would no longer be given
by the roads. The splendid prosperity
Of the country, he said, should not be
disturbed by adverse legislation and
he was confident that the Ware bill IS
enaction meant a reduction in the wages
of railroad employees.
A. K. Ware Of Mortified was the
principal advocate of the bill. He said
it was founded on elements of justice
as between the railroad corporations
and the people. Incidentally, he paid
his respects to the Hennepin member,
who, he said, posed as the special friend
of the Travelling Men g association, and
thru them Of the railway association.
