st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. l9.-Attorney
General George r. Simpson of Mime
sofa, in a letter addressed to Chair
man. B. E. Sundberg of the senate
committee on grain and warehouse,
and to Chairman Andrew Davis of the
house committee has given his opin-
ion that the state constitution will n t
permit placing representatives of
North Dakota upon the boards of
grain appeals at Duluth and Minneap-
oils, as delegation from North Da-
kota legislature recently requested.
However, he suggested d substitute
plan that may, in view Of the evident
impossibihty Of full compliance with
the wishes of the North Dakota peo-
pie, prove satisfactory to both sides.
This is to have the North Dakota
authorities appoint residents of that
state to sit with, but not as part
of the boards of grain appeals, and to
have the Minnesota legislature give
these persons full access to all books
and records of the boards. This will
give the North Dakota members ev
erything except q vote on the boards,
and would probably, as the attorney
general suggests, accomplish the main
effect sought. ' 7s'':''-. D.. ss".@
The plan of making North Dakota
men members of the boards had the
full approval of the two legislative
of the plan, the board Of trade of Du-
committees. As to the practicability
nth, the Chamber of Commerce r
Minneapolis, and the N: !,esota rail
road and warehouse commission were
asked for their, opinion, In each case
the answer was warmly favorable,
and the only stumbling block Is the
legal difficulty. #4,#5

'OPEN" MARKET IN iron AND STEEL

The action of leading manufacture
ers in effecting an open market fol
lowed a series of conferences that
have been held here for the last three
days by Judge Gary and the heads OF
the various subsidiaries of the corpor-
alton, together with officials Of other
steel manufacturing concerns.
Judge Gary, in an official statement,
says that the smeller steel manufa'o-
turing concerns for one cause or an
other, particularly tariff against legis-
lation, have become more or less ex=
cited and demoralized and have been
selling their products below these
prices generally maintained by this,
led to unreasonable price cutting by
certain manufacturers, who, though
opposed to change, felt the necessity
Of protecting their customers.

Gus hotels may have secured liquors in

been entirely private, and that none Of

themselves been engaged in the sale OF

1t may be that revenge is at the bot
tom of the matter inasmuch as some of
the well-known blind pig landmarks
who thought they were immune from
arrest and prosecution, have, since
the advent of the new county admins
tration, been caught with the goods and
are sore at the powers that be VINO
dared to tread upon their preserves.
Certain it is that the conditions
around the hotels this session are repre-
sented to be more unobj ectionable than,
at any session of the legislature and
while some strangers within urSgates
may have been able to rustic iitoxi-
eating liquors, there has been little
complaint Of the nuisance from this
source w ~

those who violate it are taking long
chances. =, '>~. p
The Tribune does not believe the law
breakers are intrenched behind the len
iency Of the officers of the law nor
have been or will be given any protec-
ton, It should be borne in mind that
the blind piggers are cunning as: 4 mill
rat, and it is one thing to be morally
certain of the existence of blind pig
ging and quite another thing to obtain
proof and conviction. Prosecuting Off,
GERS must have the proof.
In the case Of the arrest Of Mr. at

uniformed as to the author az the
complaint. Developments are awaited

THE MlNOT PEOPLE
Want COMMISSION =.
PLAN FOR that CITY

Minot, N. D., Feb. l9.-An attempt
is being made b va number OF the cltl-
zens of Minot to agitate the installation
of the commission system of govern
ment in the magic city. The matter has
been under Roadway for couple OF
weeks, though apparently an effort was
made to keep it secret for the time
being.
The commission system is in use II
several of the larger cities which have
recently installed it and Mandan If
this state is governed in that manner
The code provides that five men ma,
be selected at large from the city usin'
this system and that they shall have
complete control OF the business af-
fairs of the city, thus doing away with
the mayor and board of aldermen
This, it is claimed, is the ideal system
though whether it would work Oh
that way i'll Minot is matter that i
causing some discussion now that tn
agitation has been made public. -.
The FIVE commissioners are electe'.
for varying terms, from one to tire
years, so that there will always be ::
majority Of experienced men on tn
board after election. A city electio,
is held in the same way as under til;
present system and each voter ma.
vote for FIVE men of his choice in til.
first instance and for their successors
as the years pass by. + r
