because the constitution specifically

Furthermore he receives and dis

dress he deplored recent encroa chments

8 Recently the federal government
has shown an alarming tendency to
take upon itself settlement of state
propositions. If it keeps up, the
people at Washington will want to

proposition and tendency is absurd.

of this country, especially holds that
the federal government shall have to
do with only such matters as pertain
to interstate matters, and that the
states shall be permitted to regulate
their respective affairs without inter-

Organization Scored AS One-Man
Affair With Lotus in
Control.
Bill Introduced Putting 1t Out OF
Business as Political
Meddler.

The legislative committee, appointed
by Speaker Johnson to examine into
the political methods, devious and
otherwise, of the Minnesota Shippers
and Receivers association, filed its
report with the house on Thursday.
In the report the association is de-
clared to be a one-man organization
pure and simple.
Lotus, of course, is charged with
possessing almost full and complete
control of all the associations affairs,
whether political, financial or per-
tanning to the collection Of claims
against railroads.

senator in Wabasha county are cited
as examples. Although Peterson at
the last session of the legislature voted
in favor of all the railroad measures
advocated by the association he was
nevertheless opposed by Lotus and
his immediate associates in the last
campaign.
The evidence given at the investiga-
ton indicating that this opposition
was instigated by Philip Liesch of the
Brown County Journal is alluded to
as showing to what extent the associa-
ton can be used to CRAFTY personal
animosities. Liesch is referred to as
a sspolitical office-seeker who for some
reason has taken a dislike to Mr..
Peterson
Commenting on the attitude of hos
tility and insolence displayed by LOT
tus towards Peterson throughout the
investigation the report says:
"When the Investigation began, il
was announced publicly that the as
ISOLATION courted the most searching
inquiry into it's affairs. During the
progress Of the investigation, however
objections were interposed every time
demand was made for books or rec.
ords of any kind that might possibly
throw any light on the matters under
investig alton. No railroad company
whose methods the Minnesota Ship.
pers and Receivers association pro.
fesses to oppose, ever tried to dodge
an issue more artfuliy or refused more
strenuously to be investig ated thar
did the Minnesota Shippers and Re.
ceivers' association during this inves
tigation. If the investigation has beer
somewhat meager in its results, it is
because the witnesses, on advice O.
counsel, refused to answer questions
Mr.. Lotus and other witnesses fre
quently and repeatedly insulted the
committee, questioned it's motives, anC
in every way retarded the progress
of the investigation and made it as
difficult as possible for the committee
to acquire information.
In conclusion the committee deems
it advisable, in order to cure some O.
the evils disclosed by the investiga
ton, to submit bill which, if enacted
into law, would do much to proven
Matchmaking, intimidation or coercion
of candidates for Office.
This bill, which was introduced b,
Representative Peterson in conjunction
with his report, prohibits any cor
poration, person or association from
asking of any candidate any private
pledge, oral or written, to support Q,
oppose any measure or policy which
might come before the candidate i
elected. Anyone making a demand
