THREE AMENDMENTS
To the State Constitution
to be Voted on at Com
ing State Election

The state auditor has notified all
county aditors that three amendments
to the state constitution will be sub
mitted to the voters for approval or
rejection as follows:
First. The taxation amendment,
which provides for greater freedom
in the exercise of the taxation power
by the state legislature to the end that
inequalities in taxation may be over.
come.
Second. Amendment establishing a
road and bridge fund and authorizing
the legislature to levy an annual tax
to construct and improve roads and
bridges in the state.
Third. Amendment providing that
any person may sell or psddle the pro-
dncts of q farm or garden occupied or
cultivated by him, without obtaining
a license therefor.
All of these amendments will prove
of interest to every voter in the state.
The extention of legislative power In
tax matters would prove IF general
benefit, while the matter of creating
a road and bridge fund would prove
conducive to the construction and i'm
provement of our highways. thus
making it q question of local import
ance.
The third amendment might cause
a few conflicts with existing ordinances
in regard to peddltng, but would, in
the end, no doubt, prove of benefit to
all concerned.

LEGAL QUESTION
Does the Meat Inspection
Bill Provide for Local
Inspectors7

A question of the local application
of the new meat inspection law re-.
Gently passed by congress came up in
this city Wednesday. It appears that
the general Offices of the Northern Pa
cltic Railway company Issued . circu-
lar letter to their agents instructing
them to receive for shipment no
meats that had not been properly in
spected by duly appointed official.
A. W. Zaloudek, the local wholesale
dealer in meats and produce was the
first party to run up against this regu-
1ation when he sent q consignment of
goods to the express Office Wednesday.
He was notified of the regulation at
once, but stated that his goods were
there and that if the government
wanted them inspected, it was up to
the federal authorities to produce their
inspector.
Mr.. Zaloudek had noticed this
clause of the law. but thought 1t ap.
piled simply to the large packing
companies. Mr.. Ruth, after due con-
slider alton, decided to let the ship
m ent 20 through. Mr.. Zaloudsk has
applied to the proper authorities for q
proper Interpretation of the law and
a local inspector may be appo1nte1 a.
a result.

the 9 year cid son of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
NJ. Felion, WAS the victim of quite a
serious accident Wednesday noon.
The little fellow was riding on the
water wagon and in some manner fell
under the wheels. It is presumed
that he attempted to jump off and
caught bis coat on the side Of tha
wagon. The hind wheel passed over
the middle of his body, breaking a
hip bone and one of his ribs and IN
juring his spine He was immedi-
ately carried to DR.. Desmond's Office

will probably be laid up for some
time. but 1T is not thought that any
thing permanent will result.

WILL LOWER rates.
Railroads Will Bow Before
the Commissioned Per
Cent Reduction

The Minnesota Railroads haveE de-
clded to abide BY the decision of the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission. in which a maximum
schedule of freight rates is established,
their only condition being an exten-
sion of time to November Is. which
has been granted. At that time, as a
result of tho new ruling of tho com
mission, there will probably be an all
around reduction of rates throughout
the state, amounting to probably 20
per cent.
According to tho new federal rate
bill, passed at the last session of
congress, 1t is necessary for a railroad
to publish an advance notice Of any
proposed change in rates, at least 30
days before the charge is consum-
mated. Therefore, sfter the schedule
of rates has been framed ard agreed
upon, which has practically been done
at this writing, 1T will take but 30
days before the shippers will have the
advantage of new and more reasona-
BILE freight tariff on their mse1chan-
disc.
There is no minimum schedule Of
rates fixed and reside2 ts of Little Falls
and vicinity, who have always had to
pay the maximum rates, ara wonder
ing what would happen to the North
ern Pacific Company's local business
should another and competitive rail
way system enter this city in the
vagary of it's wanderirgs. Of course
the shippers and the merchants who
paw the freight know when they are
down, but they will also recognize
their chance when it comes, in the not
very far distant future, aud it will
theo be their turn to sit up and take
notice.
