PUT IT OVER

T he Clio b e has done no better
the proposed statute revision and
arousing public attention to the danger
and the impossibility of accepting 1t

aided it has performed its task, and
now the other newspapers are coming
slowly to the front and arraying them
selves with it in a demand for careful
action. The committees of the legis-
lature are going over the subject, and
we believe that due care will be taken
to prevent lamentable and irremedi-
able error.
We have no desire to pass especial
I, criticism upon any one in this connec-
ton. We are not hunting for chances
to find fault, but endeavoring to save
the people of Minnesota from a mis-
take so colossal that it's consequences
cannot be calculated in advance.
whether the code commission did its
work well or i'll is not to the point.
That it may have found 1t absolutely
necessary in condensing into one
many separate and sometimes contra
dfctory laws on the same subject, to
do original work on it's own account.
we do not care either to deny or to dis
cuss. All these matters are aside from
the main point. That point is that
nothing must be enacted as general law
Tor the state of Minnesota whose every
word has not been scanned and whose
purpose fully and maturely considered.
We all know-the newspapers know.
the legislature knows and the public
knows-that there are literally thou
sands of matters in the code of new
or doubtful meaning. Some Of the
larger changes that it's adoption would
. work have been pointed out Proba-
bly, as many more are yet undiscover-
ed. Those especially interested in
some subject-say, corporations. or the
insurance business, or the national
guard, or the game laws, or state
( drainage-have found the new COM
pllation SO much at variance with nres.
ent law that they ask for suspen-
sion of action, and some of them for
an entire abrogation of the work in
favor of existing statutes. The ,east
tnat can be done for them is not to nut
these interests under the direction of
an undigested and actually unknown
code.
Inere Is one clear and simple and
easy way out of the difficulty. How
the 7defusion took possession of mems
minds that this code must go into ef-
: fectnext December, or that it must he

pure fantasy, which has obtained
some mysterious and extraordinary
hold upon popular and legislative iu,-

there is to pass a bill for erecting

son why that code should so into eff

Shall be suspended until the end of

Contemporary Comment
HeraId's Beef Trust Exposure

When the exposure of the beef trust
was begun few years ago the packers
put forth number of claims. =
The New York Herald produced a copy
OF the agreement under which an arbi-
traitor was appointed 1t gave the
name of the arbitrator. 1t produced the
code used among the packers and it
proved by correspondence that there
was compact among the packers to
lialntaln uniform prices and not to
compete with one another. .
Under the circumstances. then, the gov
ernment ought to probe the affairs of
the beef trust to the bottom and bring
al those who violate the law to justice.
