ASK FOR A REhEARiNG.

Chicago Street Car Companies File
Petition.
Washington, April PA petition
for .rehearing in the Chicago traction
cases was filed during the day in the
supreme court of the United States in
behalf of the street car companies.
Eleven reasons are given for seeking
an opportunity to again present the
case. The first reason given is that
the courts construction Of the words
continued in force during the life
hereof in the second section of the
act Of the Illinois legislature Of 1865
Is contrary to the Interpretation given
to that act for forty years by the city
Of. Chicago. 1t is contended that the
Court in arriving at its construction of
the act has overlooked the grammat-
ical i1npossibility of assigning different
subjects to the verbs deemed and
held and continued, said verbs being
coordinate in position in the sentence
and each qualified by the adverbal
phrases in force and during the life
hereof"
Another criticism of the courts &C.
ton is based on the statement that
In constructing the act in question
"the conrt' has enormously assumed
that the power of the common council
to establish time limitations of street
occupancy involves not merely the
power to limit the duration of it's own
contracts, but also the power to ex-
clude the exercise by the general as
sembly of Illinois OF the plenary au
thority conferred upon it by the con
stitution of the state"

AMOUNT IS
TOO SMALL
$4,000 Appropriated by
State Legislature for
Drainage Inadequate.

State Drainage Engineer Geo.
"A. Ralph has returned home
from st. Paul, where he attended
the meeting of the state drainage
board, in session at the capitol
building yesterday. At the meet
ing the general plan for the work
that will be carried on the COM
ing year was thoroughly dis
cussed and many bitches were
ordered constructed.
There was general regret
among the mem bers of the board
that the work should be restrict
ed in the manner that it is by the
lack of funds, there being but
$4,000 set aside by the state
Legislature for the carrying out
OF the work. There were petit
tions on file for bitches that the
board was asked to construct
which if all were granted would
cost the state $15O,OOO and there
was but one sixth that amount
with which to work.
bitches were ordered con.
structed in Kittson, Clear water,
Itasca, st. Louis and Aitkin
counties and Investigations we're
ordered with the view of con.
structing bitches in Roseau and
Marshall counties. The work
that has been carried on in this
department has been great and
were the board allowed an ade-
quate sum much more could be
done The fact that Clay county
alone has ordered 800, 600 worth
of bitches in that small tract of
land makes the appropriation
that has been made by the state
legislature look the more dimin.
utive.

COLE DECLARES
HIS PLATFORM
Walker Man a Gubernatorial
Candidate Emphasizes
State Development.

a. u. Cole OF walker has form
ally announced himself a caEdi-
date for the republican nomina-
ton for governor and has started
a systematic campaign for the
votes of the delegates to Duluth.
Mr.. Cole, like the other candi-
dates, has stated a platform, and
one of the leading planks, and
the one which will interest
Northern Minnesota voters the
most, is state development. The
Walker mans name is connected
with several Legislative acts along
this line so that he has a special
right to the issue.
Mr.. Coles platform as an-
nounced by himself is as follows:
"First in Importance let me
say, is a vigorous enforcement of
our existing railroad laws and
the enactment into law of such
further safeguards of the public
interest as experience suggests.
Second: A vigorous policy Of
state development; policy that
is not content with the draining
of swamps and the settlement of
our vast unoccupied territory,
but policy as broad as the state
and which will bring an increased
measure Of prosperity to every
county in the state.
"It is indeed unfortunate that
on account of the persistence and
activity of other states and the
Canadian Northwest many of our
citizens have been induced to
leave the state and but slight eff
fort is being made to stop this
exodus or induce others to fill the
! vacancy caused by the departure.
Nov this is especially deplor.
able when there are vast mum bers
of people daily passing through
our state and on to locality
which promises slight, if any, ad
vantages our own state does not
afford, while ours possesses man
fold opportunities and adyan-
tages which cannot be realized in
the states or provinces to which
they are going.
"A well directed, systematic
effort on our part, where all pull
together, is all that is required to
get the tide of immigration set
ting in our direction, and thus
add to the value of every acre of
land and increase the volume of
every line of businessin ourstate.
Should not the Republican party
do the usual thing and set the
pace for state development, when
all other parties will soon follow
in the glorious work which we
shall have inaugurated?
"Third: A change in our
present so-called "Good Roads
Law" which will take road build
ing. out of politics and thus make
it possible to get a hundred cents
worth of results for every dollar
expended. 49,.
"Fourth: Such changes in our
insurance laws as recent investi-
cations have proven necessary.
''Fifth: But by no means the
least important, are such changes
in our tax law and their admins.
tration as will make the burdens
of taxation rest eq ually upon all
classes.
