Entered in the postoffice at NewUIm,
Mimi, as second class matter.

w. r. Hodges, president of the
Minnesota Editorial association and
member OF the executive committee
OF the National Editorial association,
appeared before the House committee
on interstate commerce, on the 18th,
IN support of an amendment to the
railway rate law, allowing newspaper
publishers to receive compensation
from the railroad companies in the
form of transportation.
He did not receive encouragement
from the committee, and, in answer
TO an argument ia favor of Transports
t1on contracts with newspaper pub
fishers, the statement was made that
it would lead to discrimination, OF
the very thing which the press of the
country had charged up against the
railroads for years.
This is the exact truth, and it comes
now with poor grace from the news
papers to ask that discrimination be
made in their favor. Let the rail
roads pay for their advertising in
cash, and the newspaper people pay
cash for their transportation. There
is no logical reason why newspaper
man should be given any more privi-
leges on a railroad than merchant
VINO pays large sums to the company
III freight, or, indeed, a person who
contributes nothing to the support of
the railroads. The newspapers have
properly denounced discrimination
they should not now stultify them
selves by asking exemption from a
law they aided in securing.
Let the independence of the press be
maintained. Let the railroads pay
cash for their advertising and the
newspaper ditto for their transporta-
ton. In SO doing the editor will feel
genuine spirit of independence
