SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1907.
There is the same old possibility or pro-
liability of car famine this winter. Already
the railroads have all they can do moving grain
and elevators are said to be filling up awaiting
cars before the grain can be shipped.
IS
f has now been discovered that another
bill was jugg1ed in it's passage thru the last
, legislatures The bill setting the public exam
iner's salary passed both houses with the sal
airy finally agreed upon as $4,1OO, but the law
as signed by the governor calls for salary of
$4,000 year.
No wonder the Standard Oil Co. is rich.
During the present investigation, it has been
shown that the company was able to persuade
the railroads of the country to pay the Stand
ard more for their lubricating oils than they
would have to pay to competitors for the same
oil. Polite and respectable sandbagging.

The state board of equalization has finally
fixed the valuation of the iron mine properties
at $191 100000, the same as that submitted by
the state tax commission. This is an increase
of $50 per cent. Under the present method of
taxation, this does not mean that the taxes on
these properties will be increased 100 per cent,
but only that they will pay somewhat larger
proportion of the local taxes than heretofore.
The inadequacy of this method of taxation is
apparent and probably a tonnage tax is to be
preferred, yet there is objection to the
straight tonnage tax because the company that
works it's mine pays a penalty for doing so,
while the company that allows its property to
remain undeveloped makes getaway.
The Virginia Democratic Association of
Washington appears to be not very entbusias-
tic over Bryan. At meeting recently, the fol-
. lowing resolution was proposed and hot time
averted only by the chairman declaring it out
of order. The resolution read. , . ... +.
"Whereas William Jennings Bryan, the
great Commoner'' we'll as the great uncom-
moner the great advocate OF free silver, the
great advocate of government ownership of rail
roads, the great advocate of initiative and re-
ferendum, the greatest blower upon EARTH the
greatest standing candidate upon earth, the
greatest man without record known in Ameri-
can politics. is threatening again to become a
candidate of the Democratic party for pres-
dent of the United States in 1908; therefore
be it
"Resolved That it is the opinion of this
association tuat he stands as much show OF
success as short tailed bull in ly-time.'
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-10-12

Mr.. Bryan has practically announced him
self as candidate for the Democratic nonina-
ton for president, and Governor Johnson, when
interviewed on the subject, stated that he was
not and never has been candidate. But that
does not dispose of the Johnson boom.

The sixtieth anniversary OF our victory
over Mexico was celebrated by handful of the
survivors over in California the other day. Few
of the present generation realize the import
ance of this event, for by the treaty that closed
the Mexican war, a territory over 700 miles
north and south and 900 miles east and west, or
$4,000 square miles, was coded to the United
States. California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico were add
ed to our national domain and California saved
from becoming British province Dy sale for
$5OoOOOOO to pay the Mexican debt, There are
only $40 survivors in the entire country of this
war of so years ago and no one can blame them
for pointing with pride to their achievements
under the natchless general, Winfield Scott.
They left alegacy to the American people only

ans of the civil war.-Preston Times.

Oregon has new liquor law. In all other
seller is licensed Sometimes the license fee is
made so as to be almost prohibitive. In Ore
gon the order of things has been reversed. In
stead of licensing the seller, the buyer of strong
drink is compelled to take out license, for
which he has to pay S. every six months. Sa-
loon men are compelled by law to confine their
sales exclusively to persons holding licenses to
buy, under pain of heavy fine for selling to
unauthorized drinkers. At the end of each
six months the names of all licensed drinkers
are published in the local paper. All confirm
ed drunkards are refused license and it is
criminal offense to sell or give such liquor of
any kind. The particular objection to the law
is the publicity given the drinkers. Then, too,
it is held that the publication of drink licenses
has the effect of restraining many people from
becoming drinkers. Of course there men
who will drink where and when they please
regardless of who knows it; but there also
many men in every community who do not
want to declare to the world that they are
drinking men and these. deferred from
drinking by the fact that they cannot drink i'll
secret. It is also held to be beneficial to bust
ness interests that employers should know who
are the drinkers and who the sober men-es-
pecialIy the young men. Parents too, not
kept in the dark as to habits of their sons, and
are thus enabled to take measures for their
benefit. AS YET however, the new law seems
to be only in the experimental stage. It's work
ing will be watched with great interest by
other states. It has it's strong points and it's
points of weakness. These will have to be
tried out.-Monticelo Times.
