One of the possibilities of the near

entire west will use the tactics of
their economic enemies, the trusts,
and organize an enormous effective
trust for the purpose of controlling
the sale of the products of their own
farms. The American society of
Equity movement is rapidly spread
ing, and it is only question of time
when it will obtain foothold in
this county. We do not know much
about this society, but if a combina-
ton of any class is justifable or de-
sirable, certainly it is the producing
class. 1t is universally conceded
that the farmers elevator move
ment has not been a failure, and ii

scale will not realize their expecta-
tions. The average retailer has lit

Mayor Silverson Of New Ulm faced
the clamor for a Sunday lid in his
city at an enforcement mass meeting,
with a very ancient excuse for the
liquor traffic, but gave provisional
promise that the lid would be applied
soon. If the mayor is as lame in his
logic as he is reported in the Review
New Ulm needs to put lid on the
mayors speeches:
:" He was of the opinion that
the same God that created the
ministers created the saloon
keepers, and if he had wanted to
get get rid of them he could
have done so before this. AS
long as the Lord allowed corn
and barley and rye to grow, the
stuff would be manufactured and
used and he knew of no way to
prevent it."

Why should we desire g.

ambition along that line, neither

To an inland observer the

after we had it controlled there
would be no money in it. 1t
would be cheaper to take half

The Minneota Mascot put in a jul
dicious word on the Schmahl boom,
as follows: julius Schmahl is being
mentioned in some quarters as likely
gubernatorial timber. Jul has made
quite record but whether it is suf-
ficiently strong to boost him to the
head of the ticket as yet there may
be some question. But then he is
young and the state will need gov
ernor for many years to come.
Schmahl is boy who has worked
his way to the front, has battled the
common foes of struggling youth
and manhood and has been blessed
with the faculty Of coming out on
top every time. And it has not been
I all luck either. He has worked
hard and improved every opportuni-
ty and that is what counts. There
is nothing surprising in the idea
that he may some day be governor,
even Of the great state Of Minneso.

Springfield Advance: 1t may not
be generally known, but is is a fact
nevertheless, that according to what
has been told The Advance by one of
the railroad officials the Springfield
Commercial Club was the prime
cause for the towns on this division
receiving the improved train service.
The club first took up the PROPOSE
ton by circulating petitions in the
towns along the line between Manka-
to and Tracy and these were all gen
erously signed with the exception of
one or two of the larger towns and
sent in to the officials. The service
is exactly what was asked for with
the exception that it would also have
been desirable to retain the service
of the Hughes train. which has been
taken off. This again demonstrates
what concerted action will
accomplish through the medium of
| a good live commercial club, and
the members Of this organization
ought to feel a pride to think that
they were instrumental in securing
lsuch excellent train service.

OLD ICELANDIC BOOKS.

The University of North Dakota
has added to it's Scandinavian library
an almost priceless collection of
ancient literature. The books are
written in good red blood, and, tho
over 300 years old, the letters still
are clear and plain. They are not
written in human blood but in OK
blood, which was the only ink in the
early times in Iceland. The books
are bound in rough strips of beech
wood, reinforced with brass and cop
per clasps. The paper is faded and
brown, but the curious old Morse
letters, carefully penned with a good
gray goose quill, are still clear and
distinct, although the bright crimson
of the blood is somewhat dimmed.
These volumes are on religions SUBJ
Jects, and consist of psalms, Bible
verses and spiritual teachings.
These curious Icelandic books are
part Of collection of over 1900
volumes of lcelandic, Danish, Nor
wegian and Swedish literature, in
large part donated by the Scadinav-
ians of the state although some of
them were purchased in Norway and
Sweden with money voted by the
trustees of the university. Except
at Cornell there is not such another
collection of books on this continent.
They cover wide range Of subjects
mythology, fiction, science, history,
art and all that is best, both ancient
and modren in the Scandinavian
language. 49,.

The Great N Northern Railway Com
pany haswon the case which the at
torney general started in the state
supreme court to prevent it from
issuing 1000, 900 bonds, for making
improvements on existing lines and
building new lines, without first OBJ
tanning the consent of the railway
commission. The court holds that
the law under which the attorney
general brought the suit is uncon-
stitutional because it delegates
legislative powers to the commits
sion, leaving entirely to it's jugd-
ment whether or not a railway COM
pany may not increase it's capital
stock by the. issue, of bonds. The
company consequently may now issue
the bonds in controversy, and many
great and far reaching improvements
may now be looked for on the Great
Northern system. Among those i'm
pro7ements we hope to see 1925, 900
depot erected in Warren during the
coming summer. One good thing
about the Great Northern stock
issues, is, we believe, that all the
money obtained by the sale Of new
bonds will go into actual construc-
tion work and betterments, and not
as was the case in the Hartman
issue of stock in the Chicago q Al
ton, that the proceeds went wholly
into the pockets of Hartman and
his henchmen.

St. Paul, March 29-The house met
for short session this morning. The
attendance at the session was light,
probably because of it's being Good
Friday, and very little was done.
There was no meeting of the senate,
the upper house having adjourned till
Monday afternoon.
During the morning, the house pass
ed three important railroad measures
which were reported in last Thursday
for passage. One is by L. 9. Spooner
of Morris, and permits one member
of the railroad commission to hold
hearings and make decisions In all
matters except those pertaining to
the reasonableness of rates. The other
two were by A. J. Rockne of Zum-
brota. One prohibits roads from
abandoning any track or switch with
out consent of the persons concerned,
or the railroad commission. The other
requires roads to file blue prints and
detailed statement of costs of all new
lines before such lines are put into
operation. '.n..
A bill which will be appreciated in
the large and unsettled counties es-
pecially, was passed. It was intro
duced by the Otter Tail delegation
and permits the county treasurer to
move about the county to such cen
trail points as he desired, to collect
the county taxes, and that the coun-
ty may pay his travelling expenses.
County auditors and treasurers are
given 4-year terms by a bill intro
duced by J. T. Lommen of Comstock.

tors shall serve till 1911, permitting
the treasurers and auditors thereafter
to be elected alternate terms. -, -.

MINNESOTA |! !:
LEGISLATURE
Doings Of our Representatives
at the Capitol City for
Past Week.

L
has given it's consent to listen to a
proposition from the railroads for a
compromise of all pending disagree
ments and suits between the public
carriers and the state. This consent
was granted today in the passage by
the senate of the resolution adopted
previously in the house, authorizing
the 2-cent fare bill conference COM
mittee to receive the offer of the rail-
roads, and submit it to the legislature.
The resolution did not pass the SEN
ate without a struggle. It was
brought up by Senator F. H. Peter
son of Moorhead who made a long.
plea for passage of the resolution
without amendment; that by so-do-.
ing time would be saved and the rail-
roads treated fairly. The most siren
uous opposition to the resolution
came from Senator Seward of Mar
shall who insisted no compromise
should be listened to, but straight
2-cent fare bill passed..
''Mr. PRESIDENT" said the member
from Marshall with energy, 81 came
here to vote for 2-cent fare bill, and
80 help me God, am going to do it."
Ole o. Sageng of Otter Tail brand
ed the resolution as ''the worst kind
of qualification this senate can
adopt" Senator Moonan of .Waseca
offered an amendment to the resolu-
ton, which notified the railroads that
the legislature did not care to listen
to any proposition that did not carry
with it straight offer of a fat two
cent passenger fare. This was voted
down and the resolution adopted just
as it came from the house, by a vote
of 48 to ~.
A bill introduced in the house by
T. J. Brady places tax of 6 per cent
on the gross receipts of life insurance
companies. One by J. A. Gates of
similar character would establish a
tax at the rate of 8 per cent. The
house passed number of bills on the
calendar today. Among them were,
the Hardy-Dunn senate bill establish.
ing state hospital for crippled chill
dren in St. Paul; the Carl bill of the
house, providing a uniform method
for the purchase of grain and use of
the standard bushel; the @. w. Glot-
felter measure prohibiting railroads
from bringing animals into the state
unless such animals were certified to
be in healthy condition; the Wright
senate bill to pension citizen-soldiers
of the Indian uprising in 1862.
Both house and senate adopted res
olutions recognizing and eulogizing
the valuable services of the members
of the state capitol commission and
thanking them in the name of the
state.
The senate adjourned until 2 p. m
Monday. The house is so far behind
in it's work it decided to only adjourn
till the morrow.

St. Paul, March 30-The legislature

counteracting the ruling of the state

al stock by the Great Northern rail-
road. Today A. J. Rockne secured
permission of the house to call out
of the railroad committee a measure
of his which had been sleeping there
for some time. The bill provides that
before any road shall issue any bonds
or securities for construction or ex-
tension purposes, they shall first be
passed upon by the railroad and
warehouse commission. The bill is a
measure drawn by the attorney gen
eral some time ago and introduced at
his request to counterfeit the possible
