Railroads must earn a profit,
but on what? If we turn to their
stocks and bonds we cannot be
safe for they have suffered from
manipulation and watering.
This throws the public back
upon a physical valuation OF the
railroads and here difficulties
are raised through the hostile
theories Of valuation advanced.
But this principle should control,
that the railroad is semi-pubIic
institution; the people who must
use it are semi-partners in the
enterprise; that they have
right to the least possible charge
for service consistent with the
railroads continuing in business
and that there must be an hon.
est showing Of the actual in
vestment in the railroad, not for
speculation but for use. It is
unreasonable to propose that the
state can create a corporation
and lose its control Of it's crea-
ture, and If elected Governor,
shall use every constitutional
prerogative to protect and de-.
fend Minnesota's sovereign pow
ers in this respect.

Good Roads a Necessity.

Good Roads Necessity.
Good roads are the thread which
weave us into one community.
If the tax levy of this state can
be cut half mill, why return SO
cents to the villager and dollar to the
farmer, and eighty thousand dollars to
the steel company? Why not rather
put that amount into good roaas where
the dollar will do two dollars worth
of work for Minnesota and the eighty
thousand dollars will be contributed
out of the wealth which the Creator
planted under the soil of Minnesota to
make the state richer in those con-
veniences which make for better iv-
ing and happier conditions.
But reductions of the state tax levy
are problematical. We can depend
upon them only as an occasional &C.
cession to the good roads fund. I
stand, in addition, for the proposed
one mill tax and believe that an
amendment embodying this feature
should be submitted to the people.

GRAY SEES DANGER IN OTIS DECISION

rates at all as to roads doing an inter-
state business.
State Shorn of Power
The master, having heard all the
testimony, seems to have found with
the roads on this question, and if the
decision is upheld in the higher courts,
its effect will be to deprive Minnesota
and all other states of the power to
regulate rates on business beginning
and ending within their respective Dor.
ders, because of it's so-called indirect
effect on rates outside the state.
1.-The decision goes farther in this
regard than any decision heretofore
rendered. The result of it would be
probably to restore the Scent passenger
fare in this state, but also to place all
state freight rates back where they
were years ago, at a much higher level
than at present. It amounts to a dec
1aration that, instead of the state hav.
ing the power of control over railroads.
the roads have the power of control
over the state
The master also finds that the Min
nesota rates are so low as to be con-
tiscatory. The testimony of the rail-
roads at the rate hearing, I am in
formed, was to the effect that in this
state the railroads are making all their
profits on their interstate business and
making no profit on the business be.
ginning and ending in the state. It is
clear that they are making an enor.
nous profit on the two classes of bust.
ness, and that their gross income is
high.
Rates to Be Raised.
I'm the face of the situation, the
newspapers inform us there is a con.
certed movement on the part of the
roads throughout the country to raise
their interstate rates. The hearing on
the subject is now going on in Chicago
before the interstate commerce com.
mission. If this movement to raise in,
terstate rates is successful, as it is not
unlikely that it will be, and the holding
of the federal court that the states can.
not regulate rates at all should be up.
held, it is plain that the railroad prob.

lance, and unless the people are aroused
to the impending danger, they are like
ly to find that both interstate rates and
domestic rates will be raised so high
as to affect the prosperity of the
country
People Must Wake Up.
"This is, therefore, time when the
people must wake up and learn that
politics affects their business, and pick
out men for public places who will rep
resent their interests and not the inter.
ests of the roads,
"The case of this state is being han.
died by capable men and nothing will
be left undone to protect the interests
of the people so far as they are con.
cerned; but the people must realize the
situation that confronts them, and it
is necessary for them to assert them.
selves in no uncertain terms. They
must let it be known that they are not
going to yield the powers of govern.
ment to corporations, and in this strug.

the people out of power. To a great
many this condition has become intol-

profit from the gifts of nature to the
State tends to ease the direct burden
laid upon agricultural land, but wheth-
er we are wise or foolish in our con-
servation, we shall have taxation al.
ways with us. Why should we not?
Taxation Is a measure of benefits
bestowed. It is guarantee of the
public peace, of orderly justice, of
equal opportunity. The only problem
is to make taxation as light as the
needs of the state permit and as euua,
BILE as the finite judgment of man can
make it. OF all the forms of taxa;
ton which have been proposed there
is none which appears to lay it's hand
more equitably upon the citizen than
the income tax. It is the only tax
which meets the corporation and the
individual upon the same ground.
