WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1907.
The LEGISLATURES WORK.

The last session Of the legislature
was very chary about passing any
measures pertaining to moral re-
form, but in the line Of regulating
corporations it made pretty good
record. This was in a great meas
ure due to the fact that a large
majority of the members were di-
rcctly pledged to support these
measures before the election. The
leaders in the moral reform move
ment have valuable lesson to learn
from this.
Among the most important thing
accomplished may be mentioned the
following: A ten per cent reduc-
tion in rates on grain, coal, lum-
ber and live stock; the two cent a
mile passenger fare; the reciprocal
demurrage law; the creation of a
permanent tax commission; taxing
gross earnings fc' freight line COM
panies, reduction Of express rates
about rs per cent, a compromise
measure agreed to by the express
companies to forestall a more radi-
cal reduction; authorizing the
manufacture of farm machinery at
the state prison; authorizing the
sale of state prison tWine outside Of
the state, a measure that will en-
able the state to fight the tWinc
trust all over the northwest and in
a manner offset the attempt Of the
trust to kill the state plant by un-
derselling it in Minnesota; the law
for requirement Of public utilities
by cities and law to expedite the
enforcement of the orders Of the
state railway commission.
The legislature also passed a
measure directly appropriating
$4OO, 900 from the state treasury
to be distributed among the coun-
ties for use in road and bridge
work, but it is very doubtful If
this money will ever be used. 1t
seems to be unconstitutional and
the state auditor will not issue any
warrants for it until the supreme
court has passed on the matter.
Two other credit marks must be
placed on the record of the ses-
sion, tho they do not appear in the
law supplement: it killed the twin
city million dollar graft for a semi
centennial celebration and also sat
down on the St. Paul proposition to
make the state pay interest on a big
loan for beautifying St. Paul.
In the matter of appropriations
the legislature was very liberal
the total for the next two years
being nearly twelve million dollars.
This will necessitate an increase
in the state tax levy.

Game and Fish Law Notice.

The use of artificial lights in
spearing pickerel or rough fish is
made unlawful during May and
June. The purpose of this provi-
sion is to protect bass during the
spawning months being a COM
mon practice for unprincipled per-
sons to spear bass under cover of
night during this season.
The season for taking muskrats
and mink has been changed, and is
now from November Is to April Is
following.
The new law authorizes payment
of the following rewards:
Forinformation leading to a con-
viction for any violation of the law
respecting moose or caribou, fifty
($5O) dollars; relating to deer,
twenty-five ($25) dollars; relating
to game birds and fish, ten ($1O)
dollars.

HAS LOST ITS TERRORS.

Mr.. Hill still explains. But the
breakdown Of the transportation
system Of the Northwest has evi-
IDENTIFY left a rather deep impress
sion in that region. Elsewhere,
too, the congestion and thoro de-
moralization Of railroad service
has set people to thinking. Some
times thought, on the part Of the
people, is an untoward condition
for big business interests.
We knew before that railroad
morals were, on the whole, rather
low. They were persistent law
breakers when that seemed profit
able. We knew also that one of the
most important of all their activi-
ties had been conducted not only
with. dishonesty, but with gross stu
pidity. BY their own showing the
making Of freight rates was a mere
muddle of fraud and incompetence.
But they had one strong card.
They were great operators. They
could handle traffic with a skill
which was the marvel of the world
as they modestly confessed upon
all occasions. In the main the pub
lie accepted this claim in good faith
and was impressed with it's great
Importance. In the matter of gov
ernment ownership this one point
was fairly conclusive. Whatever
happened, we simply could not take
the risk that the Government would
call up the operative department.
For weeks last winter North Da-
kota farmers, with money in the
bank to pay for coal, burned straw
and grain. The railroads could
not haul in the fuel. Farmers
wheat lay on the ground. The rail-
roads could not haul it out. Like
conditions obtained in many places.
Of course, the railroad managers
explain it. They didn't think it
was going to snow. They had no
idea traffic was going to be so
heavy. But the Government, if it
had been operating the railroads,
could have explained also. People
wanted cars, not explanations.
Explanatory facilities at Washing
ton are admittedly unsurpassed.
No explanation can affect the
fact that the operating department
the especial strongh old 81 prii-
IIVate oWnershii did break down,

For Parents 10 Think About.

| am a country school teacher and
would be pleased to have you read
what | have to say.
l want to ask you if you are do
ing your duty to your children,
teacher and school. Do you send
your children to school regularly or
are you keeping them at home for
any petty reason under the sun? ?
Mother, tell me what kind of a
house could you keep if you worked
one day and scraped things over the
next day, and l will tell you what
kind Of a school l have when when
you send your children three days
and keep them at home the next
three. Every day brings it's duties
in the schoolroom as we'll as on the
farm or in the home, and every pu-
pill is expected to do his part there
as we'll as at home. If he is absent
today, he must make up his work
tomorrow, at least part of it. This
he cannot do without the help the
class had the previous day. Where
is the time for such work, with
thirty to forty pupils Of all ages?
But he cannot go on, the class can
not be put back. The machine is
stopped and the teacher must set it
a-going again by some mysterious
means.
Do you not see, parents, that you
are expecting impossibilities of us:
Think about this. Consider what
the teacher in country schools has
to deal with. Come, parents anC
school boards, cooperate with Us
in our school work.
