The spectacle of republican leg
islature asking democratic govern.
or to send them special message
telling them what they ought to do
on the county option question is not
particularly pleasing to old line
republicans. There were days when
the republican party always took
the initiative.

The fundamental idea upon which
the Minnesota Travellers, Shippers
and Receivers Association is build
ed is, "That every man ought to
pay his own fare, his own freight
and be on equal terms with every
body else.' The idea is as right
eous as the ten commandments

An exchange says, Nothing

If man can manage more than one
pretty woman, or any other kind,
at the same time President Roose-

THE MINNESOTA SHIPPERS AND
RECEIVERS ASSOCIATION.

RECEIVERS ASSOCIATION.
The Minnesota Shippers and Re
ceivers Association is perhaps the
most unique organization that has
ever been formed in the history OF
the country. Iii our judgment the
title should be amended so as to
read "The Minnesota Passenger,
Shippers and Receivers Association
1t stands for the simplest princi'
Piles of fundamental justice, moth
ing more nothing less.
That every passenger should pay
his fare and no person should be
charged more than another.
That for the same amount of the
same kind or class of freight trans
ported over the same distance
the charges should be equal.
That if railroad company
charges for a car unless it is un-
loaded wit lin specified time they
should pay party ordering car
if it is not furnished within a speci-
fed time.
That railroad companies should be
allowed a terlf that will pay them
a reasonable interest on the value of
their investments liberal allowance
for operating expenses, sinking
fund for exceptional expenses and
nothing more.
1t seems to us that the above
propositions are so manifestly fair
and just that every passenger,
shipper and receiver except the
"blood suckers should join the
organization at once.
Just think of it, twenty per cent
of all the passengers on railroads,
not counting railroad employees,
who are entitled to free transport
tation, travel "dead head" That
means that those who pay. their
own fare whenever they buy tick
ct also pay the one fifth of the fare
of someone else and the worst fea-
ture of the matter is that no one
ever gets pass over the railroads
till he is abundantly able to pay
his fare.
More than six million dollars
were paid out in rebates by the
leading companies during the last
year. These rebates were not paid
to legitimate shippers engaged In
legitimate business who needed
the rebate but, to gigantic concerns
that have money to burn. This re-
bate business means that the ordi-
nary man not only pays his own
freight, but helps to pay the freight
Of concerns hundred times better
off than himself.
That the people tamely submit to |
such thiags is one of the inexpli-
cable things of modern times. We
10 not believe they will forever
continue to do so.
We believe that this organiza-
ion 'nonpolitical' whichisimply be-
ieves that every man should pay
his own fare, that every man should
pay his own freight, and that he
should pay no more than than the
companies justly en-
titled will grow and fourth until
not only every traveller, shipper
Ind receiver in Minnesota, but in
he United States will become a
member of the organization.
Under the vigorous management
IF John Grass of Fergus Fall, and
20 Thomas Hughes of Sank Centre,
We dare not even predict the posi-
Oilities eff benefit that will be de-
rived from this Association.

When a railroad company collects
part of another's fare of passeng-
er or makes a shipper pay part Of
another's freight it commits theft.
Yet this is done every day.

BETZ TOOK TWO
SHOTS AT PERRY
Wife Or The Intended Victim Is Not
Frightened.

Young Paul Betz, a nineteen
year old boy of Millville, Wis,
came near getting his just desserts
one night last week.
The affair occurred one half mile
from country church three miles
out of Melville. While Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Perry were taking a short
cut through the fields to their home,
it goes without saying that they
were somewhat surprised to hear q
revolver shot some few rods behind
them, and the bullet whistle by
their heads. As Mr.. Perry turned
around to ascertain where the shot
come from ne saw a man down III
the hollow and at the same inst ant
the flash of a gun. He was aware
the shots were for him and his wife
The man in the hollow then began
to advance upon them and to their
amazement, when the would be
assassin came into sight they recOg-
n1zed Paul Betz, a neighbor OF
theirs.
Mr.. Perry asked young Betz for
an explanation of the shooting,
whereupon he would not state and
then came a fierce hand-to- hand
combat. Perry seemed to get the
best of the affair and with his wife
made their escape to their home.
The next day young Betz came
to town and swore out warrant
for Perry charging HIM with assault
with intent to kill, Betz telling a
wonderful story how Perry came

CIRCUIT COURT.

near killing him with weapon and
a knife.
On Feb. 9th, at Justice Moses
court in this city a hearing was
had before Dist. Atty. KOpp, both
parties being present.
Young Betz told of the affair and
he stated he did not know why he
opened fire on Mr.. and Mrs. Perry
and Of the combat in the field, how
Perry then assaulted him with a
knife and firearm.
Perry's uncle was in town to
testify for HIM if needed, he claim
ing that Fred Perry did not have a
firearm on HIM on the evening Of
the goth, but he did have a small
pocket knife in his pocket. Mrs.
Perry did not put in an appearance
at the hearing.
Justice Moses and Dist. Atty.
Kopp dismissed the case, It being
out of range for a justice court.
The affair Yves a mixed up case
from beginning to end, but as far
as the testimony went il could be
plainly seen that Betz was the
aggressor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perry and young
Betz come from highly respected
parents.

WEIGHING NAIL.
Task Undertaken Every Four Years
Is Now On All over Country.

The reweighing of the mails,
which takes place every four years
to determine the amounts to be
paid by the government to the rail
roads, was begun today IN the sixth
district and a portion of the seven
tn district. The sixth district COM
prises all of the territory east of the
Missouri river up a line drawn
through Chicago and st. Louis.
Five hundred men are engaged in
the work of reweighing. The task
will occupy about 113 days, during
which time all of the mails which
are put on and all which are taken
off of ell established routes will be
carefully weighed. Out Of the re-
weighing period there will be a
total of ninety working days, and
the total tonnage of each route for
the entire reweighing period will be
divided by ninety, the working
days, in order to determine the
average tonnage carried per day.
Upon this tonnage so determined
the pay is scaled and when fixed
will remain the rate which the rail
roads shall receive until the mails
are reweighed four years hence.
The railroad arrangements are
considerably exercised over the
probability of a decrease in the rate
owing to the recent recommendation
of the congressional committee.
The minimum pay is for 200 pounds
or less, for which $42.75 is allowed
at present for carrying 1t one mile
every day in the year. The pay IS
on the descending scale as the aver
age weight increases until for 5000
pounds or more daily $3.50.
By recommendation of the con-
eressional committee there will be a
5 per cent decrease in the pay for
routes carrying from 5000 pounds
daily to As, 900 pounds, which would
reduce the pay on this kind of q
route from $21. 81 to SIS On routes
carrying an average of between
As, 900 and $1,000 pounds there will
be a decrease of 10 per cent.
The proposed reduction III The
rate would decrease the revenue on
a single railroad route between Chi
cago and the Missouri river aOou t
$1OO,O 600 annually. The total re-
duction on some of the large rail
road systems would amount to
several hundred thousand dollars a
year. The railroad officials declare
that they cannot stand the reduc-
ton, and that if the recommend
alton becomes a law there is bound
to be a corresponding reduction il the
service.

Local livestock shippers are
finding that the government is max

The system is of interest here as
the inspectors will not pass calves

gardless of the weight. Many dairy
men usually dispose of their calves
before they are three weeks old and
with the new rule in force there will
be no market for young calves.
