STUDENT BUSINESS
IS WORTH 81 100000
FORMER REGISTRAR JOHNSON
COMPUTES VARSITY TRADE.
Young Men and Women Spend Average
Of $500 Each Yearly for Living Elk
penses and Other Expenditures Incl
dent to Location Of Institution
Amount to Many Thousands More.

As a result :sof the location of the
University Of Minnesota in SMinneap-
oils about $2,oO0,O0O is brought to the
city yearly. This is the opinion OF p;
B. johnson, secretary Of the general
alumni association Of the university
who has compiled a report showing. the
financial benefits which are derived
from the location Of the university in
this city.
Before assuming the secretaryship Of
the alumni association, Mr. johnson was
for years registrar of the university
and he has made thoro study of uni
versity affairs. -.
Of the 1000 students in the uni
versity about one-f1fth are students in
the department of agriculture or in
the summer school. This leaves about
5000 students who attend the .univer-,
the school year, and Mr., johnson esti-
mates that of that number $500 come
to the city to attend the university.
/ Student Expenses,
Assuming that each one Of these
$500 students spends $4o0 = year, a
aSal ara'' more than $1,000, 900 Is
spent each year by the students who
come to the city for the .one purpose
Of attending the university. Estimat-
ing along this line, tho 500 students
of the summer school spend 100000
each year and the income from agri-
cultural, students who patronize Min
neapohs merchants should not be less
than 100000 a year. = = =.
To the sum spent by: the students
must be added the university budget
amounting to 100000, of which $780,
600 goes TO the agricultural school. Mr..
Johnson also estimates that from
campus buildings, which cost 81 800 900.
including those now in process of erec-
ton, the sum Of 800, 900 must be added
to the total; money benefit from the
university. This means that the col,
lege brings into Minneapolis at least
$1,000 900 which can be definitely esti-
mated. ,~&@ 80. -. - 49,.
:;@f Many Come Back.
In addition, vast sums are brought
| to the city each year as the result Of
the location Of the university. altho
these sums cannot be estimated with
accuracy. Parents and friends of the
| students come to Minneapolis and
spend their money in the city while
many of the students come back after
graduation to do their shopping. 1t can
thus be readily seen that money
benefit Of more than $4,000, 900 is de-
rived yearly by Minneapolis because
of the location Of the University Of
Minnesota. '-~'@ g..

NEW CUNARD STEAMER 4
BRINGS LONDON NEAR
Possibilities Of Modern Travel Are
Shown by Recent Records Of Trains
and Steamships. ....z.. : S

To be able to breakfast Friday in
Minneapolis and to dine the following
Wednesday in London is to be no
longer a dream Of transportation and
business men,. The feat is within the
range Of possibilities and may be made
an accomplishment when the new, Gun
arder Lusitania is in service and when
the passenger train schedule between
Minneapolis and Chicago is reduced.
Fred i: Gray of Minneapolis has just
proved the possibility Of such rapid
travel. He has found it possible to get
in two working days in Chicago and
one in New York, with the loss Of only
three days from his Minneapolis office.
He left last Monday night and returned
Friday morning, and says that he could
have bettered the time had he made
preparations to beat the record
In speaking Of the incident Min
neapolis railway man said that If the
Minneapolis Chicago schedules were as
fast as that now maintained bskween
Chicago and New York, it would be
possible for a bushes man to keep
forenoon engagements in Minneapolis
one day and afternoon -enga gements in
New York the next. # With the three
ay-eighteen hour service of the Ldsi-
tania, the fast London trip could be
easily made. -. 3. 49,. -. F

FRANCHISE c HAPPIER
FRAMED FOR CHARTER
EoNMIssIoN ADOPTS UNUSUALLY
STRONG ARTICLE.
Council Is Forbidden to Grant Conces-
sion for Longer Period Than Twenty
five Years and Gross Earnings Tax
Provision Is Left to Discretion OF
City Fathers.

After discussing the matter of fran
chises for some time the charter COM
mission has adopted chapter which is
believed to be unusually strong. It is
doubtless well known that there is no
franchise section in the present charter,
and this fact has seriously handicapped
the city in making terms with the pub
lie service corporations. The want. has
been met by the commission, which at
it's meeting Friday evening practically
agreed on the draft of a chapter on
franchises. .
The chapter complies with the enab-
ling act of the legislature comforting
home rule on cities. It provides that
no perpetual franchises may be granted,
and none for any period longer than
twenty-five years. A distinction is
made between franchises to so-called
public service corporations and privi-
leges to private persons and concerns,
such as the maintenance Of private
alleys. s. -. j.,
Regular Is Important.
The matter Of gross earnings tax
is left to the discretion of the city
council. While such provision might
secure a favorable rate it was the opin-
ion Of the majority of the commission
ers that the regulation Of rates was Of
more Importance to the public than q
gross earnings tax. The theory is that
the higher the gross earnings tax the
less will be the chance of low rates, for
the tax will virtually come from the
patrons Of the companies rather than
from the companies themselves:
It is provided that there must be an
adjustment of rates every five years,
either thru arbitration or an agreement
between the companies concerned and
the city council. Furthermore, it is
expressly provided that the rates
charged to patrons shall not only be
reasonable to the public, but shall be
public. ..-,:~..''.. ,>. :. -. =. -.
The whole charter has been referred
to a drafting committee, with instruc-
tions to have it examined by jurist
Of recognized ability, and compared
with the provisions Of the enabling act
and the revised code.

Coroner J. M. Kistler yesterday as
dered the immediate burial Of the body
of the unidentified man found Friday
evening near Minnehaha creek below
the falls.
In spite Of the crowds that went
to the morgue to look at the body
no one could remember ever seeing the
man before and as the body was badly
decomposed, the coroner decided not to
keep it at the morgue longer than
necessary.
The police records of missing men
were carefully searched, but no one
answering the description of the MUIR
dered man could be found on the books.
At first it was thought that the body
was that of William Houck of Madison,
s. D., but man who knows .Houck
went to the morgue and said that the
murdered man was not the }. missing

RATE WAR FIZZLES
Minneapo lis- Chicago Lines Fail to ttDo
Things to Round Trip Business.

The week passed without the i'm
minent passenger rate war. When the
500 line put in it's one-fare-plus-$2-
sround-trip tickets to eastern points, the
IMinneapol Chicago lines immediately
.cago for basing a rate to the east. The
rate was good until last night and moth
ing came Of the prophesied crash in
rates. IT, 49,.
Still another cloud is looming on the
horizon, however, which is expected to
precipitate trouble. This is the So
,round-trip rate made from Chicago to
the twin cities for the July Saenger-
fest at st. Paul.
1T is expected that some Of the lines
will decide that it is a poor rule that
Won't work both ways, and will give
