FIXING EXPRESS RATES.

South Dakota is having some troub-
lie with the express companies of the
state in getting them to adopt the re-
duction of twenty per CEN of their
rates, which was brought about
through legislative action last win
ter. A hearing was held in this city
recently with the Wells Fargo Co.. as
the principal offender, which declin-
ed to put into effect a reduction of
rates, claiming that when the law
went into effect it was not doing bust
ness in South Dakota. and declining
to recognize the United States Com
pany's rates as any thing like a just
rate. Nebraska has been having a
little trouble along the same line
with the express companies, who
thought they could bluff the state
out. 1t was taken into court and a
decision rendered by the supreme
court which shows just what the ex-
press companies will have to do. The
Chicago Record-Herald in comment
ing on what was accomplished in
Nebraska says:
The state of Nebraska decided two
years ago that express rates were too
high. Despairing of regulation in
any other way. the legislature passed
a law making a fiat cut in rates. That
is not a wise method of procedure
as a general rule, because legislatures
are much too apt to make errors in
the rates they fix and so vitiate their
entire work. In this case. however,
after full court hearings, the supreme
court Of the state has decided that
the legislature was not lacking in
fairness and that the rates it fixed
shall stand.
The clamor against express rates
and express service is heard all over
the country. 1t does not come from
the scorned common people" either,
but largely from manufacturers and
merchants That is the case in Chi
,cago at the present time. The |
rates from Chicago to points in
the state are SO high and the SER
vice so bad that a business mans
movement grew up to get some re-
lief from u own legislature last
winter. The legislature Of course,
grinned at the request and did moth
ing. Since then an endeavor has
been made to bring the express COM
pantes under the operation of the
state railroad law, but the process Is
slow and painful, with ultimate sue
cess in doubt.
a parcels post system such as Eu-
ropean governments provide for their
citizen would solve the problem speed
lily. The express companies would
then have to give good service at
reasonable rates or quit business.
Short OF that, there Is the greatest
need Of vigorous state control. The
precedent is encouraging.

MITCHELL's BIG EVENT.

MlTCHELL'S BIG EVENT.
Aberdeen American: "This week
is Mitchell's big week and the peo-
pie Of Aberdeen have shown a neigh
iborly spirit by the number attending.
More will take in the event as the
week passes.
This corn palace is intimately as
ISOLATED with Mitchell and the people
Of that city have made 1t one of the
notable events Of the season in the
state and the northwest. Year after
year they have proven to the world
that South Dakota can raise corn
equal to that Of any state in the West
and il you don't believe 1t, they want
YOU to come and see.
But the structure has become more
than a tribute to King Corn. It is
q temple raised to the Goddess Ceres
In gratitude for a bountiful harvest.
It is the great harvest home event of
the state in which the people turn
back to a very vital realization Of
the bounty of nature within the bord-
ers Of this state.
Big crops and rich harvests are
not alone confined to the fields of
corn, but on every hand stretching
for miles across the fertile prairies,
the generous hand of Nature Is mani
fest upon every farm and in the
bursting elevators of every village.
To typify this, to blazon it forth to
the world. the people Of Mitchell.
every year raise this corn palace and
invite the nation to come and see
for themselves what South Dakota
has done.
That the enterprise may have
steadily increasing success is the
wish Of every true South Dakotan."

SATURDAY DOES WELL
A Splendid Audience Gseetad The Ma
rine Band at the Concert satur-
day Afternoon.

Not all the people had gone home
because today was the last Of the corn
palace, and 1t was noticeable by the
very large audience in the palace this
afternoon. There we're hardly any
vacant seats in the. gallery. and on
the outer edges Of the lower floor
there were Just a few vacant places.
It was a crowd to be exceedingly
proud of for Saturday afternoon.
The Marine band had a very APP
preciative audience, too, in the peo-
pie who we're there. and as a result
they got a lot more music.
Solos were rendered by Miss Lee
and Mr.. De Luca, who played a pic
colo solo.
