RAYMOND-An exciting elec-
ection-96 votes being cast. 20 more
than were cast for governor last
November. This village was the
only one in the county that strug-
gled with the license question. and
the reform element put up a de-
termined resistance IN the hope
Of abolishing the saloons and
thus redeeming the one remaining
saloon village in Kandiyohi county.
They were overwhelmed, but the
large majority secured for license
was secured by high-handed meth
DDS. The election was held in a
room on the second floor of the
drug store block. and the city police
man stood at the street door and
would not permit more than two at
a time to go up. Twenty voters
were challenged, however. but it is
alleged that none were orally
examined, a printed oath having
been prepared to be handed to each
to sign after which they were per-
mitted to vote, In one case. it is
said, the man had arrived in the
village the evening before election
with his trunk. Which, if true,
shows that the liquor. element was
thoroly scared over the prospects.
Thirty-four votes were cast against
license, and sixty-one in favor of
license. DR.. D. J. Mcmahon head
ed the reform ticket and received
the same vote as the no-license is
sue. "a. The following officers
were elected: H. B. Peterson, pres
ident; A. c. Barbknecht, recorder !;

Willmar tribune., 1911-03-22

For the sake Of little comparison
l want to divide sixteen house
members into two groups. The first
will be composed of the eight lead
ing lieutenants of Speaker Dunn.
Their records in the present session
would also justify the characteriza-
tion Of them as leading reaction
aries The second group will be sell
ected from among the strongest and
best equipped progressives. Here
are the two lists:
REACTIO NARIES-Westcott.
Mckenzie. Lennon, c.. E. Stone,
Pfaender, r. G. Dunn, Spooner and
Congdon.
INSURGENTS. N. johnson,
Burnquist, w. I. Nolan, Harding,
w. T. Stone, Robinson, Lundeen
and Conley.
Now take the five crucial COM
mittees in the house organization,
Rules, Appropriations. Rapport
ionment. General Legislation and
Taxes. and consider them in relation
to the sixteen named above.
The Committee on Rules, the
most important of all committees,
has five members and out of that
number four are from the eight
leading reactionaries in the first
group. The other four committees
have: Appropriations, 6 out OF
those s reactionaries; Reapportion.
ment, 6 out of those s reaction,
aries; General Legislation, 7 out o1
those 8 reactionaries; Taxes. ou
of those s reactonaries.
Not single one Of the eight in
surgents in the second group j:
found on any one of those five mos
important committees.
This comparison proves just ont
thing-that the machinery Of
legislation in the lower body is il
the hands of politicians, unpro
gressives and representatives o1
special interests. 1t admits of ne
other conclusion. And that inter.
probation of the situation woulc
only be strengthened if l were tt
include larger list of "regulars'
and more committees. A select
few of the reactionaries-abou1
fifteen in number-were placed or
so many committees that they can
not attend half the meetings thai
are scheduled. On the other hand
one can 20 into the House Chamber
almost any time. when the com
mittees are in session. and fine
practically all of the leading pro
gressives idle so far as committe,
room work is concerned. The,
were assigned to few committee
and those comparatively unimpor
tant.

Here is some more Of the same
thing. only more unprogressive. un-5
fair and inexcusable, The commit
tee on taxes is the most vital of all
to the corporations. especially the
steel trust. When Speaker. Dunn
made up that committee it was
necessary almost to put on side
boards to hold the enemies of q ton
mage tax with which it was packed.
This is not hearsay nor conjecture.
Their report on the tonnage tax
bill showed only a single friend Of
the measure in that committee
Hoffman of Rochester. The COM
mittee was loaded for the steel
trust-sixteen to one. That was
the ratio by which they rejected
this measure involving great tax
principle and about million more
each year in taxes to the state.
The issue would certainly seem of
sufficient Importance to justify it's
consideration by the House, yet this
committee, obviously packed for
that purpose, reported it for "indef-
mite postponement." with only
one dissenting vote from its seven
teen members. =@
The committee on taxes is COM
posed Of the following members: !:
Chairman. R. G. Dunn. G.. E. Stone.
Hoffman, Saggau. Mckenzie. West
colt. Orr. Washburn. Nash. l.. D..
Brown. Rice, Spooner. Rines. Cong
don. Mattson. Fowler. Virtue.
On Mar. 9Th they reported H. F.
No. 404. the Frankson J. N. John
-Moriarity tonnage tax bill. The
majority report killed it. A min
ority report signed alone by Hen
ry F. Hoffman. recommended that
the measure be made a special or
der for March 10th. The House
70 to 41-rebuked that packed COM
mittee for its manifest unfairness
in attempting to dispose of bill
Of so much moment and general in
terest in that Cannonistic way and
adopted Mr.. Hoffman's minority
report. Chas. E. johnson voted
with the 70.
This vote may or may not mean
that the House will pass bill i'm
posing tonnage tax on the iron
ore properties of the steel trust. A
few who are honestly opposed to
the tonnage tax principle and will
later oppose the measure voted t..
repud,ate and rebuke the commit
tee. 1t is even intimated that
some voted to advance the bill in
order that the steel trust might be
frightened by the show of strength
into seeing" them. At any rate
the result indicates that the bill
has a chance of passage, which it
could not have had if the work of
arranging for its funeral in the tax
committee had not been so badly
overdone as to arouse general dis
gust and prejudice against the
methods of the administration
Think of the situation of the total
number of forty-one members who
voted to deny to the whole House
the right to consider the measure,
sixteen were packed into the tax
committee.
The system has been in full swing
