Fargo News: Id fartherance of the
fight for reduced distance tariff in the
state Of North Dakota. the railroad
commission will confer with the st.
Paul officials today relative to the
proposition inaugurated by the local
commercial club. Members of the
commission left yesterday for the Min

al representatives from the local club,
including R. g.. Lewis, president and
George Hall OF the all-Robertson
Hardware company.
The fight has been going on under
cover since the meeting held in Far
go early In September and Secretary
Yoder of the Commercial club has
been compiling considerable data
which will be presented at the meet
ing today.
While a reduction of twenty per
cent has been asked by the local club
1t Is believed that the roads will try
to compromise on half that reduction.
The club officials are anxious to have
the full reduction given and will make
a fight to have 1t sustained.
In case the railroad officials and the
club cannot fix the rates, higher au-
thority will be appealed to which may
result ultimately in getting the whole
northwest arranged on an equity

Proposition Must Be Decided
Within the Next Twenty
four Hours
CHAIRMAN GRIFFITH
SAYS NO MORE DELAY

Waiting for Decision to he
Reached
CHAIRMAN GRIFFITH
SAYS NO MORE DELAY

r. B. Grinth, chairman OF the COM
mittee having in. charge, the prelim-
mary work for the street railway,
stated to the Times today that the
question Of whether or. not the city
would have q street car line lies with
the business men and that their de-
cision must be Horthccaning within
the next twenty-four hours. 1.-THE
paving contractor is doing everything
In his power" said Mr.. Griffith, Ito
assist the people who are pushing the
railway scheme, and he has even gone
SO far as to delay the putting In Of
the cement base In the middle of
Third street until . decision can be
reached. But this condition, cannot
exist much longer. The paving con-
tractor will be bound to close up his
work so that the finishing can be
done. II this Is closed up, the city
will get no railway because 1t will
cost several thousand dollars more to
build 1t after the streets are paved
than It will now. and II We are I'M
able to raise enough money to build
Il now, there is no reason to believe
that we could raise the additional
amount necessary to build 1t later.
1.-THE committee IL short from S. 900
TO $4,000 Of the amount necessary to
begin work and keep 1t out Of the
way Of the paving contractor. Those
who have already subscribed to- the
stock have gone much farther than
they originally intended to do in or
der to make the matter success. But
they do not feel that they can afford
to 20 any further.
"A last canvass of the situation will
be made today and II the subscrip-
lions are sufficient to clear tho plans
of the committee, the work of laying
the ties and steel will begin within
a very few hours, for the committee
has everything In readiness to close
matters up II the money Is forth
coming. If 1t 10 not the whole mat
ter will be dropped at once"
1t would seem that the building Of
a street car line Is far too important
to the future Of this city to allow It
to pass while 20 near our grasp. It
was stated by prominent citizen
yesterday In discussing this matter
that no man who had ever invested
his money in a Grand Forks enter
prise had lost dollar, while those
who have invested In outside enter
prises have lost many. 1t Is certain
that the street railway in this city
will be paying proposition within a
very few years, while the value of the
franchise az the country develops and
the electric trolley takes the place of
both steam and vehicle communication
between the agricultural communal

abolish the rural free delivery system.
Bryan and hts platform denounce the
expense Of the free delivery system a.
an unnecessary addition to the burdens
Of tho country. and Bryan would b.
bound. II elected. to go the burden
removed.
What do American farmers and 9th,

free delivery has been an inestimable
blessing, think Of the Democratic dec.
laration against IT.
The Republican party. represented BY
Taft and Sherman. proposes not only
to maintain but to extend the rural
free delivery system. which has been
Of the greatest benefit both to the rural
community and to business Of nil
kinds. Subscriptions to newspapers,
local and metropolitan. have increased
enormously, and farmers are able to
keep advised Of market quotations and
to sell their produce to the best ad-
vantage. A better knowledge of the
affairs Of the outside world has slim.
ulated intellectual Improvement. and
altogether it may be said that no other
agency has contributed so largely to
make country life more attractive.
There is an ancient saying that
whom the gods would destroy they

liberately attack one Of the most bene-
dcient measures ever devised for the
uplifting, the comfort and convenience
Of many millions Of Americans-the

ohs.p Labor Make. Cheap 1,v,n-.

Cheap Labor Makes Cheap Living.
The pessimist still complains about
the high price in food products and
tries to make it appear that the I'D
vance in wages In the last ten years
has not been commensurate with the
increase in the cost of living. There
has been only one careful Investigation
OF this subject made, and that has
been by the bureau of labor, which is
composed Of careful and conservative
investigators, who have no partisan
bias. In fact, they have been making
their Investigations year by year ever
since the bureau was created under
the administration Of Grover Cleve-
land. and their figures have been made
public In the labor bulletins every
year. 80 while they are applicable in
this discussion they were in no way
intended for use in q political cam
paign.
Take the figures any way one pleases
to look at them. they show the error
Of this assumption. Comparing the
last year Of 1905 with that Of 1894.
there was an increase Of 42 per cent
in the employees who had work and
wages; there was an increase of 21.5
per cent in the average earnings per
hour; there was an increase Of 1877
per cent In the average weekly earn.
ings per employee. and there was an
average increase in the weekly earn.
ings of all employees. On the other
hand. there was an increase Of 1877
per cent in the retail prices of food.
All the percentages on wages are
greater than the percentages Of in.
crease in the cost Of food. and only
the reckless assertions of pessimists
stand against the careful investigat ton
Of large, number of trained experts,
who have no other purpose than to
carry on the work for which the bureau
Of labor was created. 1t is all very
well to complain Of high prices and to
demand cheap food and cheap cloth.
