GOALS FROM THE FIELD

Says Attorney General Young: "The
Minnesota Shippers association has con-
tributed not one fact, or idea of any use
in the investigation Of rates. Its sole
contribution has been Manahan."
Herein the attorney general betrays q
buked. His purpose in this communica-
ton Is not entirely clear, but it seems
to be an attempt to minimize the i'm
portance of the contribution. Nothing but
Manahan! And is not Manahan fact

He was all right and they regretted ia

Suddenly John came out again. He

Prejudice in Good Roads Question
The vote on the constitutional amend
ments submitted to the people Of Min
nesota last election shows some pecu-
liar things. For instance, the cities
of Minneapolis and St. Paul returned
malorities for the good roads amend
ment, which had for its object raising
the state tax for road and bridge Dur.
poses. tax collected largely from the
cities and spent in the country. Forty
rural counties failed to give MAORI
ties to this same amendment. St, Louis
county, where the greatest alarm cry
was raised against the tax amendment,
gave it one Of the most handsome ma
]orities 1t received anywhere in the
state. Other counties, where no special
interests worked and where nothing
was heard against the amendment,
failed to give it majority. III
The failure Of farmers to support
the good roads amendment is one Of
the strangest things in the election.
No doubt the amendment In many
counties got the vote meant for the
tax amendment, but inquiry in several
cases has shown that the judges knew
what they were about and gave each
amendment the vote cast for it. It
| seems likely now that all the amend
ments have carried, but if the good
roads amendment should be nosed out
on the final count, it will be bees use
| the farmers Of the state did not stand
up for It. The only . effect of the
amendment was to raise the authorize d
levy for the state road and bridge
fund from onetwentieth to one~fourth
of mill. AS the large cities pay about
two-ffths of the tax, and get moth
ing in return, this proposition was
plainly in favor Of the country Sec
ton, yet the cities gave their approval
to it, and half Of the eighty rural coun-
ties turned it down. It is useless to
say that the cities favored it because
they wanted good roads for automo-
biles. City elections are not carried
by the automobile vote.
The secret Of the rural opposition
to this measure seems TO be prejudice
against a central authority superin-
tending the road-making campaign.
Long years Of local option in road
taxes and expenditures, have made
many farmers conservative on this
point. They object to any measure
that will take from them any local
powers, and they suspect that is the
object Of the highway commission and
| a big state fund. ,., @9&s: y
It is evident that some educational
work is needed along this line. The
present commission has been able to do
nothing but collect information, as it
will have no fund to spend on roads
before. next April. If left-undisturbed
by the coming legislature II: will have
a chance to parcel out some money and
show the people Of fhe state what is
meant by good roads,. The law does
not take away any local authority. It
merely provides for the expenditure
of the state fund on roads that ale

peryision Of the state, engineer. Such

FLOOD LOoTERS ARE SHOT
Mexican Robbers Slain in the Wreck
. age at Clifton.

? Morenci, Ariz., Dec. 1.-THE Clifton
food was the most, disastrous ever
damaged and from fifteen to twenty
persons drowned, mostly Mexicans.
The people left their houses and
slept eniethe hillsides around fires. The
Chase Creek district was almost wiped
out. Great damage was done by the
breaking of the concentration dam in
Morenci. The Coronado railway be-
tween Clifton and Metca1f was almost
entirely washed out and it will take
four weeks to repair the damage to the
track.
Several Mexicans were shot for loot
ing stores and houses. The damage is
estimated at close to million dollars.
The town probably will be moved to
higher ground.

Attorney General Y oung's statement
ought to close the controversy over
M.anahan's exclusion from the center Of
the stage in the rate hearing. This
statement makes it plain that the hear
ing on commodity rates was instituted
by the railroad commission itself, in
behalf Of the people, that Manahan
and his shippers association were not
parties to the proceeding, and that he
was only permitted to examine wit
nesses as q courtesy, a consideration
which he abused to the limit. Mr..
Manahan has had his day in court,
and he has not improved it.
