INCREASE FREIGHT RATES
RAILROADS PREPARE TO RETALl
ATE FOR TWo-cENT FARE
LEGISLATION.

Washington, March 22.-In retalia-
tion for the action of state legislatures
in providing 2-cent fares and the pub
lie agitation against them the rail
roads Of the West have served notice
ON the interstate commerce commits.
sion of an increase of freight rates on
grain, coal aid iron.
This will result in test Of the con-
stitutionality Of the rate regulation

mission is obliged to keep the rates as
low as possible and the roads will en-
deavor to show that they are now un-
able to carry the commodities named
ut a profit under the rate which has
been In effect for. the past two years
and that an increase is necessary. ~,
Formal notice was served on the
commission by all the trunk lines out
Of Chicago that the rate on. grain from
Chicago to New York will be ia
creased after April 1 from TN cents
a 100 pounds to 1917 cents per hun
drsdweight. Coal mine operators and
shippers In Illinois have been before

testing against proposed increase In
the freight on coal and the same Id

comes above fixed amount as inde-
pendent items of property, for the
purpose of taxation and is sanctioned
by Professor Seligman's theory that
liability to pay" 10 the true basis Of all
taxation. ....
/ do not have time to discuss the
merits of this method of taxation in
this letter but I would like to have
you read Prof. Seligman on this sub
ject and especially his article in 10
Forum, page 4s.
You may say that it will drive men
and money from the state. A gentle
man from Hennepin county took
pains to send word to me that this
bill would have that effect. That ar
gument is without weight and has
been exploded long ago. No man
who enjoys the privilege of an income
of $1O, 900 per year will give it up and
leave the state, because of tax OF
5000. If so, let him go. Such man
would not make patriotic citizen and
/ will venture to say his place would
soon be filed. Does any one think
that the men who have their grip on
the great natural advantages and re-
sourses of this state, are going tc let
go on account of this small tax? If
they should do SO, there are many
others who would be glad to step into
their places and develope the state.
There is another matter l wish to
mention while am writing. While
the city dailies and a few interested
persons are doing all they can to de-
feat this bill, and other just revenue
measures, now pending before the
legislature, they are at the same time
advocating large additional appro.
priations for the State University, the
State Fair Association, Capitol ap-
proach, State Industrial and Agricul-
tursl schools and many other things
too numerous to mention. Do you
think that we can vote for these bills
or any one of them until satisfied that
by so doing we are not increasing the
burden of taxes on our constituents?
Let me say plainly that in my opinion
we should not. Before we vote for
those measures Or any one of them we
should know what the Senate is going
to do with this and other revenue pro-
ducing bills. If prudent man de-
sires to erect building, he first pro-
vides the funds. The policy of the
House should be from now on to re-
fuse to pass any bill providing any
new State Institution or providing
any extraordinary funds for. any
present State Institution, until the
meritorious tax measures now before
,he House have passed the Senate.
Even then the recount on the tax
may defeat some of them.

RUFF AGAIN INDICTED.
Eixty-five True Bills Against San Fran
cisco Boss.

6lxty-TiV& true 6iilS Against San = ram
cisco Boss.
San Francisco, March 22.-The
grand jury has returned seventy-five
indictments charging bribery in the
municipal graft cases.
OF the indictments sixty-1ve are
against Boss" Abraham Ruef, charg-
ing him with bribing the board of
supervisors to grant franchises to the
United Railroads, the Home Tele-
phone company, the San Francisco
Gas and Electric company and the so
called prize fight trust"
Ten are against T. V. Halsey, for
mer general agent of the Pacific
States Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany, who is charged with having
bribed the supervisors not to grant a
franchise to rival company.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
said that these indictments were not
only the beginning of the end of Ruef,
but merely the beginning of the work
of exposing the municipal corruption
In San Francisco.

Mr.. Bicknell is also entitled to un-
usual credit in getting his income tax
bill thru the House. the bill had
many, enemies and the city papers
hardly gave it serious consideration
at first. But by hard work, Mr.. Bick-
nell succeeded in getting it past the
objections of the committee and onto
the floor of the House and then the
opposition TO it began fading away
until at the last only one man spoke
against it. In the end, the bill was
passed by the House unanimously.

sends us a copy Of letter on his in
come tax bill that he has just sent to
the Minneapolis Journal. The letter
follows:
st. Paul, March 20, 1907.
To the Editor of the Journal:
In your issue of yesterday, you dis
cuss editorially and afterwards print
in full what you claim to be copy OF
the Income Tax bill, that passed the
House last week.
/ am surprised at your nais -informa-
tion of the terms of this bill, rs it
passed the House. You printed the
bill, not as it read when I introduced
it and when it passed the House, but
as it's enemies in the House wanted it
to read and succeeded in making it
read when it was printed. But very
few bills pass the House just as print
ed and made it nay business TO see
that this one did not.
Now, if you wiaa strike out the pro-
viso clause at the end of section 1, of
the bill as printed in your paper yes
berday, which reads as follows: "Pro-
vided that this tax shall be ina lieu of
all other taxesmpon personal property
above $500 in vahe," you will then
have the bill as it read when 4 intro
duced it.
When it reached the tax coaamittee
it's enemies succeeded in haSing it
amended by adding this proviso at the
end of section l, which was stricken
out ON my motion on the floor OF the
House.
That proviso makes am entirely diff
ferent bill and bill that not dozen
members of the House would vote for.
Your arguments in your editorial
were all directed to this feature of the
bill as printed by you and were to the
point. Those arguments advanced by
you and many others would have been
used by myself and others to defeat
the bill, had the proviso clause re-
NAMED.
This proposed law makes no change
in the present tax laws. The Twin
City Rapid Transit Company mention
ed in your editorial, would pay it's
taxes just as it has been doing and in
addition thereto would pay an income
tax if it comes within the provisions
of this act.
This income tax is not in lieu of
other taxes, as its enemies tried to
make it but it is in addition thereto.
You may say that if this is so it is
double taxation. In reply will say
that the Supreme Court of nearly
1ozen states has said that an income
AK is not double taxation. The dis
5inctive features of this method of
,axation is the classification of in

DULUTH BROKER HARD Hi
Fred II. Merritt Completes to ciose
His Doors.

Duluth, March 32.-Fred H. Merritt,
probably the largest dealer in curb
stocks in Duluth, has closed his doors
and his affairs are now in the hands
Of trustees. Mr.. Merritt was reputed
to be worth $500,O00 made in the last
two years in coppers, but he was very
heavily hit by the recent slump in the
New York and Boston markets It
was stated by his attorney that the
claims would be met in full and that
possibly Mr.. Merritt would pull out
with a small margin for himself The
other brokers are affected, but they
will probably weather it. This Is the
first brokerage failure since the cop
per craze struck Duluth.

Morris tribune., 1907-03-23

Indications point plainly to either the
modification or complete defeat of
practically every railroad measure in
which the people are interested. On
less the friends of the two-cent fare
idea rally suddenly that bill will be
replaced by compromise measure.
That has been the hope Of the rail-
roads and it now appears that success
will crown their skillful manipulation.
The House, it will be remembered,
voted for a two cent fare bill and the
Senate did likewise, the two bodies
differing only in regard to the details
of the proposed law. Thus far the
House and Senate have been kept
from an agreement and the railroads
are making desperate effort to keep
them apart until they can be harmon
lied on a compromise which satisfies
the railroad interests.
Regarding reciprocal demurrage, it
is expected that the measure will pass
the Senate. But the bill must then be
returned to the House for its concurr-
ence in the changes incurred in the
hands of the lords. That is expected
to develop another two-cent fare
situation-a deadly delay on the
ground that the two bodies cannot
agree. The public will not be de-
ceived.
And then comes the paramount
problem, the distance tariff idea, a.
measure which transcends in import
ance all other railroad reforms which
have been proposed or even suggest
ed" Yet in just such proportion as
it is important does the enactment OF
a reasonable freight rate reform ap-
pear impossible. The power OF the
railroads will prevent it's enactment
because it would mean millions to the
common people of the state.
We believe that the rank and file in
Minnesota will be interested in the
story of how the special interests can
control a law making body in which a
majority of members are earnest and
conscientious workers for reform. In
an early letter we shall discuss in de-
tail this apparent impossibility. The
great state of Minnesota at present
appears to be given completely to
commercial and political plunder. If
the present session of the legislature
does not take at least the initiatory
steps to change the conditions of cor
poration control in our commonwealth
it will be because a minority can ex-
cell majority in shrewdness and the
manipulation of law making machin-
cry. We shall not hesitate to tell
when and how and where and by
whom cunning and currency are COM
bined to defeat the purposes of the
people.
Morris tribune., 1907-03-23

F.. rate were quite generally used by the
express companies, altho there was
varied discrimination as between both
companies and localities.
This partly self imposed reduction
in express rates is a significant con-
fession ON the part of the companies
involved that they were treating the
public unfairly. And it would be the
manly thing for the railroads to step
out into plain view and also admit
their own unjust exactions from the
people. Why they do not do so is
really remarkable in view of the
sophomore showing they are making
before the legislature. The fact that
their lying lobbyists obtain results can
only be explained on the theory that
money and not logic Or reason, makes
the law making man go against the
Interests and wishes of the people.
Here is the gist of the railroad ar
guments against the measures of pub
lie control now before our legislature:
When the question of uwo-cent fare
is considered they assert that passen-
ger traffic is now being conducted at
a practical loss; when freight rate re-
ductions are being considered they
state just as piousiy that no cutting
can be tolerated there because that
kind of traffic isn't yielding any pro-
fit at the present time and then, in
the next breath, when reciprocal de-
murrage is up, they assume another
sort of sanctimonious mein and most
emphatically declare that they are
now so prosperous, so heavily encum-
bered with business that they cannot
supply cars and should not be COM
PEELED to pay penalty for failure to
do what they find is impossible to ac-
complish.
The Sundberg committee which is
investigating into the valuation of
railroads in Minnesota is really paving
the way for the great results in prac
tical drainage. When this com
mittee completes it's labors the
public will be in position to demand
the reclamation of vast irrigated areas
in railroad valuations. Where the
roads now claim capitalization of |
over eighty thousand dollars mile, |
this committee will be able to prove !.
beyond all controversy that the actual
value does not exceed quarter of /,
the amount given by the railroads in
their reports. Proof of this nnreas.

The readjustment of rates as COM
