THE LEGISLATURE IS RIGHT

Without regard to party considera-
lions, T h e Clio b wishes to place it
self on record as approving most heart
lily the policy inaugurated in both
houses of the legislature of obliging
employees of that body to work for their
money. If any of these see fit to re-
sign their places and betake them to
other occupations, their places will I'M
doubtedly be filled. That this should
happen is a high testimonial to. the
spirit of those in control of affairs.
who are merely performing a duty to
the state In insisting that employees
shall be employed.
1t is the rule in most public employ
ments that more clerks are hired than
Is necessary to do the business, that
they receive better wages than would
be paid in private occupations and
that their hours of labor are much
shorter and their duties much lighter.
Take the conditions at the capitol
which are now complained of. Clerks
are required to report to the speakers
desk at 8 o'clock in NE morning and
to remain until o'clock and some
times as late as 6. These are the con-
ditions against which there is a mutiny.
and it seems to be a special grievance
that this attendance is enforced wheth-a
er there is any work to be done or not.
Fancy any clerk in private employ re-
signing place paying from So to 81 a
day because office hours were from 9
until 8 and occasionally later. The
mere fact that such a rule raises pro-
test proves better than any argument
could do the volume and extent of the
abuses prevailing in the past.
The officials of both houses will have
the strong support and approval of the
public in insisting upon this policy.
They are not trying to cut off a little
money from hard working men and
women. They are trying simply to ap-

What the Standard Oil company is
by history, tradition and descent any
one can learn by reading Miss Tarbelfs
history of its origin and growth. 1t
was conceived in sin and born in in
iquity. There is no health in it. Its
edifice has been raised not only upon
broken fortunes, but upon ruined char
acters. Bribery, corruption and every
form of immortality bestrew its path
more thickly than corpses along the
hideous record.
Today it has stretched its tentacles
from ocean to ocean and from boundary
line to boundary line. 1t has unques-
toned control of the oil business. 1t

vertised the growth of this evil, fanil-

men. Not because it has viciously and
violently attacked the oil interests of
that state and aroused the people to a
frenzy, but because it is an illegal con-
Germ, operating only in defiance Of law.
because its advantages and it's power
are all Illicit and artificial, it deserves
notoriety and invites attack. 1t should
have been the first victim of any adj
ministration really anxious to assert
the rights of the people and to put
down monopoly. That it is within the
prohibition of statute law and COM
mon law is so clear that the most ig-
norant cannot doubt it. All that is
needed is to collect the evidence of it's
transactions and lay them before tri-
bunals having power to act. This is the
simple duty which a department of the
government at last, under the stimulus
Of outrages in Kansas and a clamorous
demand by the people, has taken UP.
By the energy and success with which
it is pushed to a conclusion the adj
ministration will be judged.

MONDAY. MARCH 10, 1905
PASSING Ii ALONG

The lower house of the state legisla-
ture has escaped the purely imaginary
difficulty presented to it in the pro-
posed code revision by passing it along
to the senate. There never was a more
insane act. The house has passed the
code without knowing what is in it;
without any reason for so doing; and
not only without a demand for such
action from the people, but against
their expressed objection. 1t has load
ed down the Republican party with
this burden of opprobrium for no dis
cernible reason from either public or
a party point of view.
In doing this the house neither de-
sired nor expected that the code would
be enacted and put into effect. 1t was
simply trying the old dodge of passing
responsibility along to the other branch
of the legislative body AS commonly
expressed, it has put it up to the SEN
ate" The senate now, instead of act
Ing like body Of rational men, is
studying how it, too, can appear to do
something without doing anything. 1t
knows no more than the house what
the code contains or what 1t means.
Like the house. it is possessed, for
some inscrutable reason, of a desire
to appear to have done something. So
the probabilities are that it, too, will
adopt the code with a provision put
ting it into effect at date SO far re-
moved that the people will have time to
forget about it.
The whole proceeding strikes us as
scarcely less than insanity. We shall
see that the Republican party does not
escape responsibility for results. No
living human being today has anything
but a mere superficial idea of what the
code as passed by the house involves.
1t consists of the work of the revision
commission, with some but not all of
its new legislation cut out, and a vast
body of entirely new amendments con-
tanning woodchucks and other things
put in This, according to our sapient
legislature, is to be made absolute law
for the millions of our people, without
examination, digestion or any under
standing of what this new law may be.
Since the Republican party is deter
mined to take this stand Democrats
may well rejoice for the sake of their
party What do the people think of
the ability and the fidelity of a set of
men who are ready to wipe out of ex-
1stence all the laws of the state and
substitute for them a body Of crude
stuff hastily tossed together by a legis-
latfve committee, aided by a large
number of representatives of snecial
interests, and force that upon the COM
monWealth as its supreme law? This
is measure of Republican statesman
snip and honesty, and from such an
issue the Democratic party may delight
to appeal to the people of Minnesota.
