There is something humorous In the
change of attitude by the Senate at
Washington in respect to IN investi-
cation of the causes for the increased
cost of living. Senator Elkins intro
duced a resolution early in the session,
and 1t vas ~pigeon-holed. The grave
and reverend senators had no time to
waste in such triles. Senator Aldrich
went to Florida. He had other things
TO think about. Senator Lodge, realiz-
ing that the increasing popular clamor
being directed against the tariff,
put in a resolution for an investigation
that would show the tariff was alto
gether guiltless. But now the whole
Senate awakes to the political impor-
lance of the question of high prices, and
there is going to be an investigation If
the investigators can agree upon a
plan of action.

New Workers. are not worried over
their municipal debt. for they know
what it represents. In ten years it
has increased 1T5 per cent. In the
same time the debt of Philadelphia has
increased 100 per cent. What have the
two cities to show for their debts?
New York has enormously valuable
public assets from which she gets an
income exceeding the amounts needed
for interest and sinking fund of the
debt. Philadelphia lacks nearly all
that New York has. its great public
waterfront, it's subways and other
great public works. More than half of
Newark's debt is investment. 1t is
only a bookkeeping debt. and New
York city's debt is largely Of this
character.

Public sentiment in New Jersey has
not as yet been developed on the ques-
ton of a Federal income tax. When
Governor Hughes, in his message to
the New York Legislature, took such a
decided stand against the ratification
of the proposed amendment his views
influenced the minds of many people
in New Jersey and caused others, who
had favored the idea of an income tax,
to doubt it's policy. Governor Fort
takes a view Numerically opposed to
that of Governor Hughes. He unquali-
fiedly1 recommends ratification by the
New Jersey Legislature, and presents
his reasons, 1t is, however, now up to
the Legislature to indorse or reject or
ignore the proposition.

A new map, showing Beltrami
county to be almost small empire

the last ten years, the new work Of
Mr.. Bourgeois fills long felt want
among the settlers and business men
of this rapidly developing section Of
the state, and as the compiler has
been engaged in active engineering
work in this county since 1900,z it's
accurateness is unquestioned. ~
The northwest ANGLE" which lies
on the opposite side of the Lake of
the Woods and is not connected by
land with the United States but is a
part of Beltrami county, is shown
Cornfeld and Oak Islands in that
lake, also belonging to Beltrami
county are exhibited "on the map.
The entire north country, between
upper Red Lake and the Baudette-
Spooner region, is surveyed in de-
tail, as we'll as all the new town
ships between Baudette and the east
ern boundary of Roseau county. The
townships of Lee, Hamre, STEINER
erson, Benville, Spruce Grove and
Cinnie, northwest of Red Lake, are
placed on a map for the first time.

county, charged the full legal rate,
considerable more than their con.

the county, and although the com.

the publishers were required to
print the notices at the: contract

BEWARE OF HOLIDAY FIRES
Christmas Decorations Bring Many
Extra Hazards CareShould be Used

Christmas is a time of good cheer
and universal happiness but it is not
with unmingled pleasure that the
fire insurance men view the appro.
ach of the Yuletide season. This is
because the holiday season always
brings with it many disastrous fires.
Fires mean insurance losses to be
paid and the insurance men naturally
deplore anything that means the
payment of heavy losses for the
heavier the losses the less the divi-
dends of the insurance companies.
Bemidji insurance agents gener.
ally agree that fire los .es are gen.
orally heavier at Christmas time
than atsany other time of the year
with the possible exception of the
Fourth of July and and the week
preceding. ?
Window displays of the Christmas
season also increase the fire hazard.
Twinkling lights nesting in banks
of fimsy white materials naturally
present opportunities for a con.
hagration. There are hundreds of
chances to start blaze when the
Christmas season in on.
Most are not in the gay windows.
however, they are found, ON the
contrary, in the packing rooms.
There an unusual amount of goods
is constantly being handled. Much
waste packing is scattered about.
There is a constant rush and a whirl,
ing turmoil. New clerks and mex.
perienced helpers add to the confu.
sion. Here and there is a cigare,
smoker. A bit of glowing ash drop.
ped in pile of excelsior may mean
a blaze that will cost Millions.

Bemidji Sentinel, to publish the
notices of judicial ditch hearings as
official county printing and to be re-
stricted in their charge for said pub
lication to the rate per folio desig-
mated in certain contract entered
into by the Sentinel Printing Com
pany and the county of Beltrami on
January 9th 1910.
The contract referred to obligates
the Sentinel Printing Company to
publish, during the year 1910, certain
designated county statements and
proceedings and all other legal
county notices required by law to be
published for about one fourth of
the legal rate for such publications.
l have assumed, In view of the evi.
dence, which conclusion is perhaps
questionable, that the plaintiffs are
bound by the contract made by the
Sentinel Printing Company. "
Under this contract, then, the
plaintiffs are required to publish all
legal county notices required by law
to be published. The test, 1t seems
to me, to ascertain what is a legal
county notice, is to determine
whether the notice is required by
law to be published in a newspaper
officially designated by the county.
In other words, would the require
ments of the law be complied with
by the publication of the notice in
any other legal newspaper in the
county? If it could be soupublished
then this contract does not control,
because these plaintiffs cannot be re-
quired to publish for. the reduced
rate a notice which they could not,
under the terms of their contract,
demand the right to publish"
The law requiring the publica-
- ion of the notices of the hearing in
volved herein (Sec. 2, Chapter 46e.
laws Of 19e9) reads that said notices
shall be published for three success
sive weeks in newspaper. printed
and published in sail: .""county.
There is no requirement that they
