Senator Smiths Senate Failed to Do
Its Duty.
For this neglect the State Senate
appears to be largely responsible, the
defeat of re-apportionment being
charged to senators who refused to in
terfere with their tenure in Office.
The state authorizes the legislature
to make re-apportionment, if popu.
lation changes require it., after each
census. state or federal. Governor
Eberhart says at this time in the face
of another election that he favors re-
apportionment. The legislature, Of
which he was part, pressed a Con-
stitutional amendment allowing reap
portionment to be made at any time,
thus probably deferring the question
until the amendment could be adopted.
Permit me to say to northern Min
nesota here and now that the present
Constitution authorizes a re-apportion.
ment at this coming session and that
in all justice to the state it should be
accorded.
Stands for Employers Liability.
There is nothing more precious than
human life There is no form of con,
serIation more important to the state
It is the duty Of the state to protect
from needless sacrifice the lives of
men and women who are obliged to
labor in our industries. Employers
and employees understand that every
restriction in our present inspection
laws should be removed so that the
state officials will have the authority
under the law TO order safeguards in
every place where danger to human
life turks. But when we have solved,
80 far as protection to human life is
concerned, the question of accidents,
there still remain large number that
will take place because of the hazard
of the industry and which cannot be
foreseen or provided against. This
brings up the question of the basis of
compensation for such injuries. The
law that we have belongs to an era in
our industrial life that has passed. It
is based on the theory of fault or neg,
lgenre. which might have belonged
very we'll in the primitive days of hand
tools, but which has no application un.
der a system of industry which in.

Industry Must Bear the Risk.
The men who are obliged to work
under this hazard and who suffer the
pains from injuries sustained there
should not be obliged to carry all the
risk. 1t is the duty of the state to
step in and by proper legal enactment
to devise a system for the injured
working man, which shall in no man
ner SAVIOR of aims or charity. This
principle was recognized by the late
Governor Johnson, by the last legisla
ture, by the organizations Of employers
and employees and by the State Bar AS

The State Of Minnesota, acting
under its sovereign constitution
al authority to regulate carriers
within its borders, enacted in
1906 and 1907, pursuant to the
legislative messages Of Governor
johnson, two laws governing
railway rates:
First, a two-cent passenger
rate, which has been in effect
since May I, 1907.
Second, a commodity rate law,
which the state was enjoined
from enforcing.
In the same period the railway
commission made reduction of
merchandise freight rates which
was urged by the governor and
accepted by the railroads.

The non-conservation of our

lnterdependence Of Rural and City

Interdependence Of Rural and City
Life.
The discussion of rural education,
good roads, and kindred topics natur-
ally carries the mind to the relation
between the city and the country.
Minnesota has three magnificent cit
les, each as individual as Ahree per-
sons, each has it's own peculiarities
and characteristics, but I think they
agree in this: that they have an in.
tense pride in the creative part of
Minnesota. The old dismal debate be.
tween trade and spade is closed. The
cities of Minnesota know that their
prosperity is dependent upon the
growth of the country. They can adj
vance no faster than the farmer. It
has been said that we could burn all
our cities and still have a great coun-
try, but we could not burn all our
farms and have a single great city or
single city Of any kind Therefore,
to say that country and city are at
war is to fly in the face of a manifest
destiny which limits the city's growth
to the rate of advance of it's tribu-
tary territory. The cities are not
more interested in their own growth
than they are in the growth of the
country. Nor are the cities selfish.
They are willing to carry their share
Of the burden of the state. They are
eager to cooperate in all that makes
for the best of both.
Conserve in Act as Well as Voice.
Conservation-A splendid word to
conjure with. Conservation is a city
as we'll as country problem. The
non-conservation of forests already be-
gins to affect the city builder and the
city home-maker.

Sees Wisdom in the Majority.
There is but one issue in this
campaign. It is stated in six
words: "Restore the rights Of
the people," We have a govern
ment Of balanced powers, but
the foundation of it all is the
peoples right to self-government
in an orderly manner.

Great Saving Affected.

The merchandise and passenger rate
acts have been in effect over three
years, with saving of $4,000 day
to the shipping and passenger public,
but at the same time with such an
effect in increasing traffic, that the
loss of revenue to the carriers is be-
lieved to be nominal, if anything at
all.
Each of these acts is confined to
rates on business wholly within the
state. No court, or even railroad COM
pany, ever before has questioned the
power of the state to fix reasonable
rates on business beginning and end
ing within the state.
Both federal and state constitutions,
as interpreted to date, are framed on
the theory that sovereign state shall
make laws for the commerce within
it's own borders.
The federal government has not that
power; it touches only Interstate COM
merce. Therefore, by the ruling Of
Judge Otis, neither state nor federal
government has the authority to reg
ulate the freight and passenger rates
| on business beginning and ending
within the state boundaries; and the
railroad company alone has that pow.
| er.
In other words, the sovereign state
which grants to a railroad it's charter
to exist and do business has no pow.
er to regulate the business arising
| pursuant to that charter; while, on
the other hand, the company created
by the state may defy the sovereign
power to which it owes it's life and
| it's dividends and restore the old doc
trine of Cali the traffic will bear"
Favors Physical Valuation.
If this is law, it. is law which free
people should make haste to amend
The railroad problem is a compli-
| Gated one. Lawyers theorize and ar
que the matter from varying view
points and the debate would be end
| less if we did not anchor ourselves
to the single, simple proposition that
railroad performs function of the
state. When it exercises the powers
OF the state, IL must submit to the
same conditions which the state may
| place upon it's own exercise of those
functions. We have gotten past the
point where railroad could be viewed
as purely private enterprise. Men
who invest in railroads voluntarily
place their property in such a position
that the public has acquired an inter-
est in it's use. What is that interest?
1t is that the railroad shall have no
greater rights than the state would
have if it had built these highways it.
self. Railroads must earn a profit.
This is necessary in order that the
public may benefit by their presence.
A broken-down, bankrupt railroad is a
pail upon the country it attempts to
serve.
