NO EXTRA SESSION.

There will be no special session of
the legislature. The interests" are
opposed to a special session. The
cause of good roads will be delayed
for two years. The state tax of one
fourth of one mill is totally made
quate, and even that bagatelle of a
tax cannot be levied this year or next.
But the legislature cannot be trusted
to meet and enact the necessary rene
dial legislation! What is the gov
ernor afraid Of? A year ago on the
stump he protested to have unbounded
faith in the legislature. The senate
membership now, with one exception,
is the same as it was in 1907, and the
1909 house will compare favorably
with that of 1907. The valuation of
the properties owned by the steel trust
for assessment purposes should reach
$500, 900 in 1910: one mill tax
would mean that the trust would con-
tribute annually $500, 900 to the road
and bridge fund of the state; delay
of two years means a saving to the
trust of 100000 and corresponding
loss to the road and bridge fund.
But the fat has gone forth-there will
be no extra session.

The information division of the de-
partment of commerce and labor has
during the past six weeks secured
work for more than 5000 men, most of
whom were sent to the harvest fields
of the northwest. This department is
confined in it's operations to unskilled
labor, the trade organizations having
protested against any activity by the
government looking to the employ
ment of skilled labor. The unions
will look after the welfare of their
members. There is one good thing
about the governments information
bureau-it is reliable. In this il
differs from many of the so-called EN-.
ployment agencies, which collect fees
from men seeking work and then fail
to secure them the jobs promised.

schurman Sizes Up the Situation

believe it was Abraham Lincoln
who said that you could not fool all
the people all the time. This, no
doubt, is one of the sublime truths,
but there is one man in Minnesota
who will refuse to concede that it is
truth at all. Mr.. Frank A. Day, the
premier of the kitchen cabinet, is
evidently intending to again fool, at
least all the republicans of the state,
one more time. He is vehemently
proclaiming that John A. johnson
will not be a candidate for a fourth
term, and all the while, I am certain
that his. chief aim in life is to secure
the nomination and election of John
A. Johnson in 191O.-West St. Paul
Times.

Il BOSS-RIDDEN PARTY.

Frank Day is an amusing cuss.
Listen to him: "Mr. Day does not
determine whom the democrats shall
nominate for governor or any other
Office. Matters of that kind are settled
in a state convention of good men
and true, chosen by the people, owing
allegiance to no man or set of men.
At the last democratic state conven-
ton Mr.. Day openly favored the
nomination of "a very distinguished
Second district democrat for governor
but he cut very little figure in the
outcome. True democrats resent
bossism in every shape and form.''
Was there ever a democratic state
convention held in Minnesota where
the candidates were not determined
upon in advance by the bosses of that
party? Formerly it was Boss Kelly
and Boss Doran, now it is Boss
|O'Connor and Boss Day. At the last
democratic state convention, although
Mr.. Day, seemingly, "openly fav-
ored" the nomination of another, the
bosses had arranged every detail even
to the ''hollering," and the delegates
simply carried out the wishes of their
chieftains. There was not hitch in
the proceedings. Everything worked
like clockwork. The well-greased
democratic state machine never was
in better working order than at
present and Boss O'Connor and Boss
Day run it beautifully.

It is conceded that vast majority
of the people of this state favor a
downward revision of the tariff,
nevertheless Minnesota is only one of
the forty-six states many of which
have diverse interests. The New
England and the eastern states gener-
ally favor free raw material and a.
high tariff on the finished products;
Louisiana objects to free sugar;
Washington wants its lumber interests
protected; Minnesota, or sections Oft
at least, does not object to a heavy
duty on barley, potatoes, wheat and
granite, and so it goes. It naturally
follows that any tariff legislation
enacted by congress must be in the
nature Of a compromise. The U Mon
would have: been better pleased if
every trust-controlled article and such
necessities as coal, lumber and iron
had been placed on the free list. But
under the circumstances that could
not be accomplished at the extra
session. Now that congress has
adjourned if the demagogues would
give the people a rest it is barely
possible that the country might sur
vive for a year or two under the Payne
law

while Secretary Wilson will endeavor

THE RUSHED GRAIN TAX.

When Chapter 1855, an act defining
how grain in elevators should be
taxed, became law, some demagogic
lgnoramuses raised the cry that
the farmers were being discrim-
mated against. The Union at
the time pointed out the fact
that the tax imposed was made
quate-one-fourth of one mill per
bushel upon wheat and flax and one
eighth of mill per bushel upon all
other grain-and that the law was
enacted at the instance of the elevator
owners If a bushel of wheat is for
assessment purposes valued at 33k
cents-7one-third of it's actual value
'ne tax on the same in Hennepin
county, where the average rate is
o2.5O mills, would be almost IL mills.
forty -four times more than is 70.
CURED to be paid by the present law.
Prior to 1897 grain was presumed to
oe assessed at the terminal points
the headquarters of the elevator com
panles-out as matter of fact grain
in country elevators largely escaned
taxation. TO remedy this state of
affairs, r. c. Dunn, who was then
state auditor, had bill introduced
and passed which simply provided
that grain should be listed and
assessed wherever the elevator is still
ated. Great pressure was brought to
bear on Gov. Clough to veto the bill.
But the state auditor convinced the
governor that the bill was just and
meritorious measure and he affixed
his signature to the same the day after
the legislature adjourned Chapter
220 laws of 1897. But the 1897 law did
not suit the elevator companies hence
the bushel tax law (Chap. 466 laws of
1909) was enacted.
From the Minneapolis Tribune of
the 18th inst. we learn that the asses
sor of that city is authority for the
statement that under the operation of
the new law Minneapolis will lose over
$4,000 in taxes this year. In other
words the old law would have pro-
duced $4,000 moro than the bushel
tax law. The bushel tax law is wrong
in principle, besides the tax imposed
is infnitesimal and Governor Johnson
ought to have vetoed it. The next
legislature should repeal Chap. 1855
laws of 1909 and reenact the 1897 law.

live Years Ago MIR. Hill Supported John.
Time works wonders. Five years
ago a very bitter campaign was con-
Quoted for the governorship. Bob
Dunn, the republican nominee was
charged with being the tool of James
j. Hill, and this had much to do
with his defeat by the present
governor, John A. Johnson, candidate
OF the democratic party. Last week
Gov. johnson and his staff travelled
in state to Seattle ION special train
furnished by the Great Northern r.
E. co., where mammoth bust of
James j. Hill was unveiled on Mime
sofa Day by the said Gov. Johnson.
1t was worthy tribute to the great
empire builder, citizen whom Min
nesota and the nation delight to
honor. But the incident illustrates
the hckleness of the people,. Five
years ago the state defeated a man for
governor because that man was
charged with being the friend of Hill:
today the same state sends it's gov
ernor half way across the continent to
do Hill honor. Only a democratic
governor could do such a thing with
out being charged with corruption

Hon. Henry Rines in Mora Times:
The Minneapolis Journal editor has
always lived in the city and therefore
has no conception of what the rural
counties have to contend with in road
building especially the newer counties
of this section of the state. Counties
like Kanabec do not have practically
unlimited road and bridge funds as
has the big county of Hennepin.
What little money it can levy an
nually must be expended judiciously
throughout the county, giving relief
of some kind to as many settlers as
possible. This policy may not build
macadamized roads but it enables the
settler, who under adverse conditions,
is trying to make a home, to get to
and from his market town and helps
to keep him in this country.
: x The county s money, having
all been expended in one noble effort
on some particular highway, the
many new settlers all over the county
would cry in vain for s'any old kind
of a road Just trail-so they car
get to town, become discouraged an6
either go west or cross the line into
Canada. If the Journal editor would
drop his editorial pen long enough te

4NsARROG4NT CORPORATIOY.

IN sA1tHOG44NT CORPOR4TION.
That arrogant aggregation Of high
fnanciers known as the United States
Steel corporation regards and treats
its employees as serfs. Undoubtedly
the men employed in the shops and
mills of that grasping corporation
have just grievances which cannot be
redressed unless they combine for
mutual protection, hence it is natural
that they should organize themselves
into unions. But the task-masters of
the gigantic corporation are deter
mined to crush out every semblance
of the spirit of independence in the
men, under them, as witness the fol-
lowing, not from labor or socialist
newspaper but an associated press re-
port published broadcast in all the
daily newspapers of the country:
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 16.-The
United States Steel corporation has
begun the process of eliminating from
it's mills all those with pronounced
union tendencies, who might with
reason be suspected of scattering
seeds of unionism among the other
workmen.
Many skilled workmen employed by
the corporation have been discharged
recently from employment in the
mills, in which they had long worked,
and on inquiring the cause for their
discharge they were told that they
talked too much or too loudly.
In most of the cases of those thus
discharged they found on inquiring
for work at other plants of the steel
corporation that there was no work
for them, a blacklist having apparent
ly been prepared. Over two hundred
former we'll known union men have
been discharged, it is reported.
This condition of affairs is found
in all non-union mills of the corpora
ton, but not at the mills of the
American Sheet Tinplate company,
where strikes are now on.
The employers appear to have found
men at work inside of their mills who,
though working as individuals, we're
still strong union men at heart, and it
is these that they decided to get rid
