OF one thing the friends of good
roads throughout the state can rest
assured the Highway Commission will
not stand for an inequitable distribu-

of the state permit of it.. Further
more, the Highway Commission can
not mortgage the future. The agita-

THE INCREASED FREIGHT RITES.

The increase in railroad freight
rates has affected all our pocket
books, but the loudest protest we have
read appears in the columns of the
Crookston Times. Under the old
rates it cost the Times S76.06 to pay
the freight on a car load of paper
from Grand Rapids; under the new
rates for car load of paper from the
same place the freight charges we're
$93.57. Quite a material difference.
The Times wants an extra session of
the legislature held right away but
does not clearly indicate what that
body could do to help matters. True,
the railroad gross earnings tax might
be increased to five, six or seven per
cent, but that would simply mean a
further increase in freight rates-the
ultimate consumer would pay it. We
quote from the Times:
The demand for a special session
of the legislature to even these matters
up should be granted. An increase in
the gross earnings tax or an increase
on something should be made, and it
should be made large enough to wipe
out every dollar of the steal the roads
are prepetrating in this state and
enough more to make the penalty felt
good and strong.

And in the meantime, little agita-
ton regarding applying the recall to
the judiciary which can interpret law
but one way would be healthful. We
believe it would result in some aero
baltic stunts on the part of some very
learned legal minds.
Applying the recall to which judici-
airy? We have not heard of any one
accusing our district or supreme court
judges of favoring the corporations at
the expense of the people. If there is
a district judge in the state who is
biased in favor of the corporations We
have not heard of him, and certainly
the decisions of our state supreme
court, more especially in recent years,
have not leaned in the direction of
corporate wealth. The Federal judi
ciary cannot be reached until the con-
stitution of the United States is
amended, and it is no easy matter to
amend that instrument. Justly or
unjustly the impression prevails that
the Federal judiciary is antagonistic
to the interests of the common people,
and the recent decision by Judge San
born anent the railroad rates cases
has strengthened that opinion in this
state.
It is the opinion Of ex-Attorney
General Young and ex-Judge T. D.
O'Brien, the leading counsel for the
state in the rate cases, that there is
a probability of the supreme court of
the United States reversing Judge
Sanborn's decision.
