WANT BETTER ROADS
Plans to Ask the Legislature for Nor
Money.

More money for good roads was the
slogan Of the Hennepin County Good
Roads association meeting in the office
Of the county commissioners this morn
ing. A resolution was passed recon-
mending .that the Hennepin county legis-
lative delegation ask for larger APP
preparation for the MAINTENANCE Of the
county highways. J. T. Elwell recon-
mended that the association try to get
a bill thru the legislature providing
for rock crushing plant at Taylor s
Falls, where, he said, there is enough
rock to cover the state. 1t could be
crushed, he said, and the railroads
would haul it, at a low rate, to any part
Of the state. The work of crushing
could be done by convict labor and the
cost would be nominal to the districts
improving roads. This was taken up at
the afternoon session and discussed at
length. -. -.
At the afternoon session several mem
bers Of the legislature were present tc
learn of the condition Of the Hennepin
county thorofares and to decide on a
plan of action.

SIDEWALK TRUST
HAS BEEN BUSTED
sGENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT
BROKEN; TROUBLE FOLLOWS.
The "Trust'' Had the, City for Vic
tim for Long Time, but City Engi-
neer Rinker's Stout Fight Broke Up
the Combine-old Rate Sheet De-
stroyed.

Concrete sidewalks and all kinds of
artificial stone work will be cheap next
summer The ''trust'' is "busted,'
and the rate sheet has gone into the
furnace. ~. 81 ...
The agreement controlling prices
was never. strictly observed, except in
dealing with the city of Minneapolis
and patrons who were*not awake to the
true situation. The ink was hardly
dry on the agreement before certain
firms were cutting prices. The cutting
was done secretly and only on small jobs
for intimate friends, but those who
started in the game became holder and
holder, and in short time We're quot
ing one-third off the standard price, and
even lower.5 Other manufacturers had
to meet the cut price when apprised Of
it, and retaliated by going a notch
lower. -.-....... Ex. .-.
City Engineer Andrew Rinker kicked
the compact price out Of his office, and
announced that if the manufacturers
would not accept seventy-two cents a
square yard for sidewalks, the city
would do the work by day labor. The
contractors baked, but accepted in
time.
When an attempt was made to for
mulate another agreement, early this
winter, the majority of the manufacture
ers refused emphatically to enter pact.
They declare that the lid was off and
that there will be merry war. They
announce that the men who broke up
last years trust will feel that the COM
petition is the real thing, and will make
them ponder long before again going
back on "gentlemen s agreement

ST. PAUL TO PUT
UP OUR ARM0RY
BIDS WE'RE LOWER THAN THOSE
B OF MINNEAPOLIS FIRMS.
Board Reluctantly Awarded Contracts
to Two st. Paul Bidders, but Say
Action Was Justified, as It Saves the
City About $4,000" Business Be-
fore Sentiment Was Their Rule.

St. Paul firms captured all the big
contracts for the Minneapolis armory
and Minneapolis contractors and plumb
ers are s|sore. -, The armory commits
sioners explain that they are willing
to make concessions to Minneapolis
bidders as a matter of local sentiment,
but at the same time they must exer-
else "a certain amount OF business dis
cretion.' There was such a discrep-
ancy between the Minneapolis and ST..
Paul bids that they simply had to ac-
cept the latter. . NIX
The principal contract for the con-
struction of the armory was awarded
to John Parten of st. Paul, whose bid
Of $4,000 was $4,000 lower than the
most advantageous bid from Mime
apolis. The contracts for plumbing
and heating went to the Allan Black
company, also of st. Paul, whose bids
were about $1,000 less on each contract
than the next favorable bids. The
Black company has store in Mime
apolis and, to some extent, is a Min
neapolis institution, but local contract
ors say that the Minneapolis office is
simply branch and that the firm is a
st. Paul concern.
The contract for steel was made by
the armory board last fall. Since then
the price has gone up and the board
has saved several thousands Of dollars.
1t was understood that the bidders
would take over the board 8 steel con-
tracts.
The commissioners regret that they
were unable to let the contracts to
Minneapolis contractors, but they felt
that the taxpayers would want them
to. be governed by the ordinary rules
of economy. Mr.. Parten was declared
to be reliable and competent,s having
built the Aberdeen hotel, the West
Publishing plant and other big build.
ings in ST. Paul. The saving Of $4,000
was badly needed, as the board is ham.
pered by close appropriation.

mo DRUG TRUST
...PREST. V0EGELI
DEALER DENIES
LODER'S ACCUSATION.
Says National Association of Retail
Druggists, Of Which He Is Head,
Isn't Robbing the Public-Explana-
tion of Its Agreement with Makers
of Patent Medicines.

Thomas Voegeli of Minneapolis, presi-
dent of the National Association of Re-
tail Druggists, denies the story from
Chicago to the effect that the druggists
OF the country have organized gigan-
tic trust.
{" 1t is true, ,, said Mr.. Neegeli5 "that
we have an organization just as other
lines Of business have. 1t is a absolutely
untrue that we have entered into Il
combination to raise prices and rob the
public.
''The basis Of the complaint is the
arrangement which manufacturers OF
patent medicines exact from those who
sell their medicines. These firms do
so upon their own volition and not at
the request of the druggists. ALI We
desire is that we get prices for our
goods that will enable US to handle
them with fair percentage of profit.
Formerly some stores were selling ST.
a bottle medicines for as low as At
cents. We buy it for 81 cents. Our
selling price, by arrangement, is IS
profit Of 81 per cent. The cost of run
ming our business demands minimum
profit Of 20 per cent, which leaves us
a net profit OF 5 per cent upon an in
vestment Of 81 cents. / am sure no
one would call that robbery.
''The same things are true of other
patent medicines. The proprietors have
demanded that any one selling Stheir
medicines shall sign a contract to sell
them at a price that will insure small
profit: The courts have held they have
a right to do this.
&c. G.. A. Loder of Philadelphia
can't get any medicines under this ar
rangement, and it is he who is raising
the cry Of trust Talk of bringing
criminal proceedings against the asso:
