RAIL DISPUTE

Engineers AVerted'
PARTIAL VICTORY FOR MEN
Secure an Increase of Ten Per Cent
in Wages and Improvement in
Working Conditions.

Chicago Dec. 24-The wage dispute
between the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and sixty-One railroads
west, north and south of Chicago was
settled here today. There will be no
strike
Instead the engineers get an aver
age increase in wages of 1919 per cent
of their 1910 wage scale, giving them
a Christmas promise of an average of
approximately 1892 for each of the 33,,
900 men involved for each subsequent
year. Specifically the agreement pro-
vides for raise of 40 cents a day for
all engineers, with a differential in
addition of 25 cents a day for 215, 1000
pound engines, an added differential
of IS cents day for the smaller NAL
let engines and a differential of 81 a
day for the heaviest mallets.

ADVISES COOPERATION.

Dean Woods of the Agricultural
College is opposed to the movement
toward the big farm. owned by the
money man, and run by a manager,
and is much in favor of economy
among the farmers by the means of
cooperation. He says:
"The 10 per cent increase in the
number of farms run by managers,
and the movement toward the bigger
farm marks the beginning of new
problem in Minnesota agriculture.
Moneyed men are finding farming pro-
ftable, capital is being invested in
bigger farms, and the corporate farm
is not remote possibility. From
the money making standpoint this is
desirable condition. From the view
point of the farmers standpoint, it is
not. The tilling of small farms,
where each farmer may own his home
and works for himself. is productive
of a self-reliant. independent type of
citizenship which Minnesota cannot
afford to lose. Interest in schools,
roads and the social life of the COM
munity cannot exist unless the land is
owned by the farmers.
"The state department of agricult-
ure is attempting to find remedy for
this undesirable tendency through the
establishment of cooperative meth
DDS. This does not mean socialistic
co operation, but cooperation to re-
duce the overhead charges. The
farmers are being advised to unite in
small groups. buy and use their corn
uskers. corn shreders, potato plant
ers and other costly machinery in COM
mon. A blooded stallion, bull or boar
can be bought by a group, where it
would prove improbable to the single
farmer. The marketing of eggs,
poultry. fruit and vegetables by CO.
operating has proved successful. Min
nesota has worked out the problem of
cooperative creameries so we'll as to
establish the standard in all other
states. Indeed, there is no other state
where the principle of cooperation
has advanced so far" "

Here's a peculiar situation. An
drew Carnegie. the greatest steel
manufacturer in the world has given
$40, 900, 900 to trust fund to be
used for the abolition of war by the
creation of sentiment for universal
peace, and yet that fund was in part
derived from the manufacture of arma-
ments, and F. W. Hirst, the editor of
the London Economist, claims that
armament contractors cause the war
scares and promote the present rival
ry in the making of preparations for
war. which are such a burden on the
civilized world today. The wealth
and power of the armament contract
ors is great and they play off one ma
tion against another in the sale Of
battleships. 1t is claimed that the
COIIIdCIOIS are W DldIllG 1CL LI40 oO-
surd purchase Of dreadnaughts by Bra
zil, for the supposed attempt of Ger
many to suppIant Great Britain at sea,
and for the present rivalry between
Japan and the United States which is
almost crushing the people of japan
under load of taxes. The greatest
force for peace todav is the United
States. which is so rich. populous and
powerful and so far removed from
panicky contact with armed neighbors
that she is free to play the part of
mediator in the international feud.
For these reasons this country does an
injury both to itself and the rest of
the world if it becomes deeply in
volved in the battleship building race.

Great reforms are promised in
Great Britain as result of the recent
election. The greatest of these is
that the veto power of the House OF
Lords will probably be taken away.
When they want to do that kind of a
thing in England they do not have to
worry about passing constitutional
amendment, but they simply say to
the lords that if they do not surrender
the king will create enough new lords
to outvote the old ones. That settles
the matter. Home rule will be grant
ed not only to Ireland but also to
Scotland and Wales within a year
and there will also be some kind of
representation in the British parlia-
ment given to the colonies. The cleo
toral laws which permit of the plural
voting of the property classes will be
revised and the traditional free trade
policy of Great Britain will be main
,tained.

The state tax commission have made
their annual report and include seve-
raj important recommendations, among
which may be mentioned the creation
of a new office of county assessor, the
valuation Of real estate on fifty per
cent basis and the increase of the
gross earnings tax on railroads if it
shall be found from the valuation now
being made that the railroads are not
paving an equitable tax. These re-
Communications are all good. The
county assessor would take the place
of all township, city and village as
SCISSORS, and from his larger expert
ence and freedom from local influences
could do the work better than it is
now being done. The present assess
ors would no doubt bring pressure to
bear on the Legislature to prevent
this reform, yet here is an opportunity
for little patriotic broadmindedness
on their part. The recommendation
that property be assessed at fifty per
cent of it's real value is simply to re-
peal by law what has been repealed
by custom for many years-the re-
ouirement that property shall be as
sessed at its ''full value in cash. !"
Taxes would be more equitable if a
definite basis were adopted and ad-
hered to. The recommendation for an
increase of the gross earnings tax of
railroads is one which we have repeat
edly urged, and person does not need
to be of the ranting type to see that
such an increase is only just. The
railroads are at present paying gross
earnings tax of four per cent, but it
has been repeatedly demonstrated that
if the amount which they pay were
collected on a general property basis
they are getting away about half as
easy as they should. In order to
make the railroad gross earnings tax
equal to that on other forms of pro-
perty it should be raised to about
eight per cent. There was some agi.
tation for a raise to six per cent four
years ago, but the matter was dropped
then on account of the legislation re-
garding freight rates.

In the senatorial district comprising

ed over his Republican opponent, T.
J. McElligott, and his Democratic
opponent. R. G.. harrington, his lead
over the latter being only 21 votes.
Mr.. Harrington had the support of the
liquor interests and has instituted a
contest which must be finally decided
by the senate itself. Under an order
from the district court the ballot
boxes have been re-opened and the
votes re-counted. DR.. Froshaug gain
ed four votes in as many precincts
while harrington gained AZ in five
precincts, but it is said that all the
ballot boxes in these towns bore evil
dence of having been tampered with
after they were sealed. While the
re- count gives harrington a lead of
II votes yet there are suspicious cir
surrounding the changes
which should cause the senate to in

FARMERS SHORT COURSE
At Morris School of Agriculture,
Jan. 9, 10, II, IL, 13.

The atten tion of farmers and farm
ers' wives is called to the short course
offered by the School of Agriculture
during the second week of January.
The subjects offered are important
and will be in charge of the best lee
turers and teachers that can be bad.
AS this is the first short course of the
school its success will have much to
do in determining the extension of the
work in future years. Let as many,
therefore, as can attend and aid in
making this a real and lasting benefit
to West Central Minnesota. Plan to
attend the entire week but do not stay
away if you can come for only one or
two sessions.
A fee of $1.OO will be charged for
the course. This will entitle one to
attend everything offered. A limited
number can board at the school at 20
cents a meal but as there is no extra
dormitory space rooming places must
be found outside. Write as soon as
you can stating whether you wish US
to find rooms for you.
The daily program will be some

Morris tribune., 1910-12-30

Will someone please explain why a
farmer must be docked for every
ounce of dirt or foul stuff in his
grain but must pay for and haul home
several hundred pounds of worthless
black slate, stone and dirt with every
ton of hard coal he buys? What IS
sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander, and if the state can
inspect grain and see to it that the
producer or dealer does not make a
profit by running in a lot of dirt with
it, it is quite competent to inspect
the coal that is brought here from
other states, and see to it that con-
suners are not swindled with worth
less slate when they buy and pay for
coal. Here is a chance for some real
and practical reform and the senator
or representative who will draft a
proper bill. to protect the consumers
of coal against such rank injustice,
will find the people backing him al
most to man and there wont be any
politics in it either. except mighty
poor politics for every member that
refuses or neglects to support such a
just measure. .-Montevideo Leader.

Fred D. Warren was tried some
time ago in the Federal Court for
sending a paper through the mails
offering a reward for the arrest of a
man named Taylor and his return to
Kentucky where he had been indicted.
He was sentenced to six months in
Jail and to pay fine of 81, 500. and
his conviction has been affirmed by the
U. S. Court of Appeals. AS thous-
ands of other people have committed a
like act, and are doing so. without
objection from the government, peo-
pie are wondering why Warren is
singled out for conviction. They
claim it is because he edits the So
uialist weekly. Appeal to Reason. If
that be the reason. the U. S. govern
ment is engaged in a fool proceeding,
and the fact may possibly account for
the increasing Socialist vote.-South
