HOW THE NEWS WAS BROUGHT TO
DULUTH.

There was great rejoicing at Du-
luth last Tuesday when the news
was received that Governor johnson
had vetoed the tonnage tax bill.
Thousands of people surged around
the Commercial club building where
the center of excitement was, red
fire burned, bands crashed and the
hoarse roar of the populace gave to
the several blocks on Superior street
adjacent to the club building a stir
ring effect. Two companies Of mill
tia were out with attendant band
and drum corps to help swell the
enthusiasm.
The Pioneer Press report says that
"A. C. Weiss was accorded special
honor for the work he has done in
defeating the tonnage tax bill. He
arrived on a train fir ON St. Paul at
9:55, and was met by band and a
crowd. He was taken to the Com
mercial club in an automobile, where
the large auditorium was filled with
people waiting to hear the addresses.
Mr., Weiss disclaimed having done
more than anybody else against the
bill, but the crowd good-naturedly
insisted that he had been a wheel
horse"
A parade in which several thous-
and people took part was a feature
of the celebration.

Out of a mass of appropriations
provided for in the omnibus bill,
here are few of special interest to
some of our readers: 5000 for
the initial work on a dam at the out
let of Bigstone lake for restraining
the overhows of the Minnesota,
$25, 900 for improving Fort Ridgley
military park, $1,000 aid to national
guard armories, $4,000 for bridge at
Camp Lakeview. $4,000 for addi-
tional building at soldiers home,
$50, 1000 for buildings at state agri
cultural school, $59O,OOO for state
university buildings, $240,000 for
new insane hospital buildings and
SAIL 800 for buildings and improve
ments of other state charitable in
situations, $4,000 for two new
buildings for Crookston agricultural
school, $4,000 to aid the attorney
general fight the commodity rate
cases, and the big budget for main
tenance and supplies for state in
situations added aggregates $780,
600 per year for the two years COW
cred. This looks like lot of money
to country editor, but it is said to
be about the same as was appropri-
ated two years ago and that the in
crease in taxable property will make
the state tax rate four mills lower
than it has been.

Since Tuesday of last week the
electors of this state have known for
the first time just where Governor
johnson stands on the question of
tonnage tax. The Gazette is not
wise enough to be absolutely certain
that the governor did not do the
best thing for the state in refusing
to sign this bill. considering the
doubt entertained by a large number
of the legal fraternity as to the le-
gality of the measure and the ad-
mitted fact that the sentiment of
the northern half of this sta tie is
Strongly against the bill. 1t is
not for US to sit in judgement on the
governors motives in the final de-
cision. We are inclined to believe
that they were honest, and fairly
stated in his message. Where the
governor has fallen somewhat in the
estimation of his admirers is that he
was not frank upon this question
during the last campaign, and that
his admirers in the southern half of
the state were claiming for him that
he was squarely in favor of a ton
mage tax on iron ore while his friends
in the northern fraction were just
as positive that the governor would
never sign a tonnage tax bill and
have been indicated by his action

The Minnesota state senate did a
commendable thing on the closing
day of the session in putting to sleep
the bill permitting certain clubs to
dispense intoxicants to their mem
bers without a license, so that here
after club bars will haye to pay IL
cense the same as any other booze
dispensaries. Most of the tri-city del
egations made a frantic effort to
save the bill but the senators had
heard from the country and voted it
out by decisive majority, though
not a large one. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to report that the senator from
this district voted right and helped
to put the ak to the vicious measure.

St. Paul Dispatch: Nothing in
the governors message shakes the
conviction of the Dispatch that the
principle involved in the tonnage tax
bill is sound and just. Undisputed
statistics show that the steel and
iron industry of the state has been
paying taxes on the basis of an II
mill levy while the farmers have
paid 26, the farmers paying taxes on
valuation of about 80 per cent of
their property, while the steel indus
try has escaped with an assessment
of about 10 per cent.

The president of the Wisconsin re-
tail liquor dealers association, who
is also a Lacrosse alderman, went vi
olently insane last week, and the dis
patch conveying the news says that
the attack is supposed to be the re-
suit of overwork and worry on ac-
count Of the progress of the anti-sa-
loon movement in this country. And
yet these saloon keepers have been
insisting that liquor is sold in larger
quantities in communities where
there are no licensed saloons. Such
arguments are calculated to make
any man crazy.

Don't Know Where They're Going.

After looking in vain through the
high school notes for a mention of
the visit of the Carleton Glee club
to the school last week the News
scribe will be pardoned for at least
recalling a part of the story told by
DR.. Weigle of his friend President
Hadley of Yale. He said he was
busy down at ST. Louis preparing
one Of his notable lectures, and after
working increasingly fors some twelve
or fourteen hours there was strong
suggestion Of hunger in some part
Of his anatomy and he decided to
take half hour for lunch. Grab
bling his hat he rushed madly out on
the pavement and called a hackman
and said to him, IF you go real fast
and get me there in fifteen minutes
I will give you an extra dollar" He
then jumped into the carriage and
the driver started off at a gallop
speed up one street and down an
other, striking against vehicles and
curbstones and nearly running over
several people, turning at hair
raising pace and nearl y tipping over
for something like fifteen minutes,
when the learned man called to the
driver and asked if it was not about
time they had reached their destina-
ton. The driver answered Il don't
know; where are you going?" DR..
Weigle told the tale and pointed to
the moral and nothing could have
better illustrated the point he de-
sired to make for the students in the
school. There is an unprecedented
hurry and a shortage Of aim and
deliberation and there is no goal or
object in view. Boys and girls rush
through the grades. the high school
and often farther before making up
their minds what they are going to
do in life, wherefore there is a con-
tinual lack of ambition, Of incentive
and consequent lack Of terminal ia
cilities, as he might call it, when
they finally make up their minds
what calling they will pursue. Sub
jects and studies most neglected Of
ten turn out as most essential to
their success in life, while branches
most thoroughly studied may be of
no material value. Candy News.

Governor Folk, in a speech at the
Minnesota capital last week, said
that he had found in his travels
through the states that the new
ideas leading to reform legislation,
instead of coming from the east as
formerly, are now originated in the
west and travel eastward, and that
the states of Minnesota. Iowa and
Missouri are now taking the lead
instead of being led. And when you
come to think of it., no man in any
of these states has originated more
ideas of a reform nature affecting
railroads, elevators and taxation
than our own Jake JAG OLSON. The
little man is not in the lime light any
longer, but the good things he has
caused to be done should not be for.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2S, 1909.

If the legislature has not meas
ured up to the quality of some pre-
ceding sessions, we can at least
affirm that it might have done
worse. While the lower house de-
clined to give the people of the
state an opportunity to vote on
county option, passed the vicious
bill giving club rooms the privilege
of selling intoxicants without a IL
cense and voted the salary grab in
advance to it's members, it also pass
ed the anti-cigarette bill. the bill
permitting cities to adopt the COM
mission plan of government, the
temperance bill limiting saloons in
the future to one for every 500 in
habitants and compelling buffet cars
to pay license, the bill raising the
age of consent from 16 to Is years
and the bill prohibiting the publica-
ton of improper medical advertising.
The legislature might have passed
laws abolishing or amending our
primary system and it might have
improved the inequalities of the
present legislative apportionm ent.
but it chose to let both the primary
laws and the apportionment stand
unchanged until these matters are
they probably will be.

Representative Bendixen has made
good on his campaign promises. He
declined to come into the combina-
ton formed at the beginning of the
session for the protection of the in
terests, and declining trades by
which so much legislation is brought
through, comes out with a clean
record if he cannot boast a long
string of bills put through. He was
not afraid 70 speak up against what
he thought was wrong and in the
last days days of the session made a
vigorous protest against the 100000
appropriation for grand stand for
the state fair grounds, contending
that the state fair ought to be an
educational institutim-which is it's
only excuse for state support-and
not an amusement place for the
sporting fraternity. Though the
appropriation went through just the
same we are glad the member from
Redwood voiced the attitude of the
people whom he represented. 1t is
better to be right than to ride on
the band wagon.

Rural Telephone Troubles.

The following from the Belview
Independent gives the argument for
change in rates on these lines, and
we judge that sentiment among the
patrons is increasing in this direc-
ton:
Some portions of the rural lines
of the Redwood County Rural CON-
pany are down and out of commits
sion by reason of high water and the
company is in poor shape financially
to take up the repair work owing to
the heavy expense incurred dur
ing the winter by reason of the Sc
we're storms which cost the company
more than $1,000. 1t is apparent
that before the company can pay
any dividend on the stock that the
telephone rentals will have to be
raised, that the interest bearing in
debtedness may be taken up and this
item of expense thus eliminated,
after which the earnings would al
low a margin over operating eX-
penses with which to create a sink
ing fund for depreciation and pay
dividends. The former manage
ment extended the lines without de-
handing that stock enough be sold
to pay for the cost of construction,
and the result is that the telephone
company soon found itself in debt
and when the surplus stock held by
people for investment was retired
to comply with the rule that no per-
son should hold more than 10 shares
of stock it was found necessary to
issue bonds which could only be dis
posed of at a heavy rate of interest
owing to the low rentals which in
vestors considered reduced the earn
ing power of the lines below what is
considered the safety point to insure
the bonds being a desirable invest
ment. The result is that the earn
ings are such that is only possible to
pay interest on bonds and. running
expenses with no margin for better
ments, repairs. allowance for depre-
citation and dividends on stock2
Therefore it can be easily seen that
in order to place the company on a
sound business basis the rentals will
have to be increased all along the
line. Once this is done the company
can reduce its Indebtedness and in a
comparatively short time be placed I
on sound basis and stockholders
will then begin to realize something
from the stock held by them. These
matters will undoubtedly come up
at special meeting of the stock
holders in the near future and such
action taken as may seem advisable I
and it will be good plan for the
stockholders to consider the matter
carefully and act with intelligence
when the time comes.

OUR ORANGES IN ENGLAND
Especial Correspondent)

The champions of American industries
are nnding no little satisfaction in the
fact that our enterprising orange farm
ers are creating a constantly widening
demand for then product in the Euro
pean markets. This is especially true as
regards England, whose former nrefer
ence for Mediterranean oranges is being
rapidly supplanted by the more perfect
seedless Catfornia variety now produced
oy the California Fruit Growers Exchange.
The transition in the tastes of our Rrit-
ish friends has been gradual, but it is
definite, and they are finding particular
satisfaction in the new crop OF ''Sunkist''
oranges, which indicates that they have
reached final conclusion as to the ia
vorable conditions prevailing in the 5000
orchards of the California Exchange. The
tendency in this direction was realized
some time ago and a London branch Of
flee was opened to facilitate the distri-
button of "Sunkist' oranges.

Madison Independent: 1t is said
that the Hon. E. T. Young was the
author of the bill known as the
Bjorge iron or tonnage tax bill as
also of most of the bills dealing with
the liquor question which have come
before the legislature during the
past winter. 1t is further said that
he has been doing this in the spirit
of getting even with certain inter-
ests which opposed HIM in the guber-
material fight last year. The first
statement may be true, but the last
one is not, for the simple reason
that he is not that sort of man.
