TRAER's INCOME INCREASES.
This Fact Is Due to Increase in Monte
and Credits,


Special to Times Republican.
Traer, May 3.--The income of the
city of Traer next year will be from
$1,000 to $1,000 more than it has been,
because of the increase in monies and
credits. The assessor and city council
have been doing little work in the
tax ferret line, and as result, $4,000
in monies and credits have this year
been assessed more than in former
years. Final action was taken in the
matter the past week, by the city coun-
ell, sitting as a, board of review. At the
same time, several assessments were
lowered. The mayor appointed Ed
Sheldon marshal for another year, at
$40 per month and DR.. Parsons, city
physician, at salary of SIS per year
T. F. Stoakes was reelected clerk, for
another year.

BOUGHT Stock on Quiet.


1t was learned from reliable sources
Saturday afternoon that at the pres
lent time the Standard Telephone Com
pany has outstanding s126.290 worth Of
its stock. OF this amount, stock to
the value of s63,500 was purchased for
the Bell interests. This stock has been
transferred on the books of the Stand
ard Telephone Company in the name
of w. e. Miller. Who w. e. Miller Is
none of the Independent operators now
know, beyond the fact that he is gen.
orally credited as being an agent of the
Bell Telephone Company. Where he
comes from no one knows. It is learned
that Miller, or his agents, Foote and
| Orr, the latter of Waukon, paid from
/ 40 cents to So per share for the stock
which they bought. The heaviest
stockholders were j. H. Trewin, of
Cedar Rapids; NJ W. Eaton, w. T..
Gilchrist, o. ]. Hager and Heiser
Brothers, of Waukon, and Messrs. j.
| w. Hartley and James Kibby. Of
| French Creek, some miles north Of
Waukon. These are the men whom it
! is claimed were close friends of Orr
and Hager and who were given good
prices for their holdings, while other
minority stockholders were given only
40 cents for their stock, until enough
had been purchased to give Mr.. Mill
er (the Bell Telephone Company a
controlling interest in the stock.
Little Ones Frozen Out.
The charge is made by citizens in
several of the cities and towns men,
toned that many school teachers, girls
who were clerks in stores and poor
farmers and laborers of small means
had purchased a few shares each, at
$500 per share. None of these were
given an opportunity, so it is charged
to sell their stock. 1t was the mer
of affairs who were close to Orr and
Hager and the clique that engineered
the deal that are in on the ground
floor. They sold their stock and are
free, but the school teachers, the girl
in stores and the laborers and OLE
people of small means are out in the
cold, there was no ground floor en-
trance fortthem, they take the elevate

Dubuque, May "a protest that
bids fair to echo up and down the up
per Mississippi valley for some time to
come emanates from several of the up
river towns and cities now on the line
of the Standard Telephone Company.
The roar comes not from a few minor
ity stockholders of the Standard Tel
ephone Company, who were left in the
cold by a recent sale of that concern
to the Bell interests, but from many
business men and whole farming COM
munities, cities and towns, whose peo-
pie are taking vigorous exception to the
monopoliZation of the Independent tel
ephone companies of this section of
the state by the Iowa (Bell) Telephone
company.
The Bell Telephone Company, by re-
sorting to exactly the same tactics
which were used to force the sale of
the Dubuque Telephone Company a
year ago, forced the sale of the Stand
ard Telephone Company, that is, ma
jorty of the stock, to the Bell Company
curing lHe past week. IL the charges
which have been made and reiterated
by enraged citizens in several up-river
cities and towns are made to stick. one
of the warmest telephone fights which
has been seen III the middle west will
be precipitated. Advices from Gale
donia, DEBORAH, Preston, Waukon, Os-
sian, Gutenberg and Elkader are to the
effect that the people We're good and
sore over the manner in which minority
stockholders, not friends of the men
who pulled off the deal, We're left out in
the cold and their stock placed in such
a position that they must sell for what
the trust wishes to give And it is
claimed that trouble is promised for
those who turned the trick

The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-11-28

waiting for nearly two years the Emperor decided to exercise his pre- rogafive and to order the payment of the arrears out of the funds which by Finnish law are at his disposal The Senate. although composed of old Fenomans. the party favorable to Russia. delayed executing the Sover- eign.s ordinance. Some resigned: oth- CTS, taking advantage of the close of their three years term of office. asked to be relieved. Even they had been swayed by the all-pervading spirits of resistance. What had we to do? It was quite clear that the Films were adopting passive resistance against the military contribution, not because they thought 1t unjust or excessive, but because they wished to coerce us in- to recognizing their independence of Russia. The Emperor had a legal right to dispense with the Senate al- together and to confide the executive power entirely in the hands of the Governor General This course was eschewed. A number of Films who had served in the navy. and other de- partments were appointed Senators and issued the necessary order to the Finnish Treasury. The other Senators alleges sickness and abandon ed their posts. The difficulty in regard to payment of this war contribution
 has thus been overcome without, be it noted. any violation of Finnish law. But 1t is definitely settled. Next year the Diet will have to be called upon to furnish additional grant. Mean while the affairs of the country are in a parlous state. Passive resistance on a wide scale creates an atmos- phere favorable for revolutionary &C., tiyity. The Socialists are strong in Finland. They hold two-flfths of the seats in the Diet. Their militant organs daily breathe threats against Russia and the Russians. We have discovered depots of arms. We cannot afford to risk repetition of 1905 when the Governor-General was made pris- oner by the revoiutionaries. Our gar rfsons are small and widely dissemin- ated. Finland. 1t must be remembered, Is country as large as Italy The northern portion is practically devoid of troops. There is only one railway by which troops could be sent, and the nature of the country Is such that the destruction of q single bridge would effectually cut off our land com munications. We therefore decided to send reinforcements. One regiment of CassacSs has gone to Finland, no more.
 What have said does not argue any undue haste or any intention to as- sail the rights and liberties of the Films. We have no such intention.
