Not Safe Bet.
1t is said that the governors veto
OF the tonnage tax will send him to-
the United States senate in Moses
Clapp's place and it is also said that
Bob Dunn's stand against the ton
mage tax will make him governor.
We would hate to bet on either pre-
diction.- NORTH Branch Review.
Getting More Costly.
The legislative session which closed
last week costs the taxpayers S288, 900,
nearly half as much more than ses-
slons in the nineties cost. Public,
officials are getting more and more
extravagant with public funds as time
passes. The time will come when
halt will have to be called.-Elk River

So
Not q Bad Idea
The st. Paul charter commission is.
considering the idea of imposing a
special tax on all wheeled vehicles
pulled by horses or driven by motor
power and apply the proceeds to the
maintenance of pavements.. which the
vehicles wear out and of which they
have the exclusive use. Let those who,
wear them out pay for them.-Mower

Mtsled by Base Designers.
IT some other counties want a
showing up let them continue this
unjust tonnage tax agitation, in which
the south-state farmers have been
misled by designing politicians into
believing that a tonnage tax is to-
their advantage. It would really
benefit the politicians only. They
would get their fingers into the iron
ore pie in deadly earnest.-Biwabik

Hard on the Professors.
Some of the university professors
are becoming strenuous. Recently
three of them walked out to Shakopee,
a matter of 16 miles. It is worthy of
note that since these men joined in
petition to kill the Armour packing
plant, they started to walk. It is we'll
known that if a number of the faculty
OF the "U" would walk away and not
return it would improve the standing
OF the place, educationally.-Le Sueur,
News.
Colonel Ward Superstitious:
We don't say that if the legislature
had not passed and the governor
signed the law making it legal to root,
yell and play baseball on Sundays,
that we would not have had this cold.
damp, backward spring and un-
healthy weather. Yet we do make
bold to state that we believe if such a
law was not in existence in this state,
that business and farm work might
have progressed farther. Martin

Journalists Are Born, Not Made.
Schools of journalism may be all
right, but a school that would teach
the average Journalist methods of
putting his newspaper on paying
basis would be more to the point.
There are journalists who are better
in their line than can ever be turned
out of school, but they are dependent
on the fellow who hustles for the busi-
ness end to getting their weekly sti-
pend.-Little Falls Transcript.

Bowling Offers to Defray Expenses
If any of the members of the state;
press believe that the people up here
were not deathly afraid of tonnage
tax they would do we'll to make a.
short trip over the range and study
the conditions. If they do not want to
incur this apparently unnecessary ex-
pense, the editor of this paper will
guarantee their expenses and see that
they are given opportunity to meet
our people and study the local condi-
tions of the Mesaba range.-Eveleth
Star.
