Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

HOW CAN THE CENT FARE BE CONFlSC ATORY
WHEN IT NETS RAILROADS MORE
THAN The OLD SYSTEM?
Duluth Herald Suggests That The State Cannot Control Rates.
Can Force the Railroads 10 Pay The Money Back in Taxes

Counting free passes and low ex-
cursion rates, it was shown in the
hearings before legislative commit
tees in this session of 1907 that the
railroads were then getting, on the
3-cent rate. less than 2 cents a mile
for carrying passengers. The 2-cent
fare law was accompanied by a law
forbidding passes, and the rail
roads ceased giving excursion rates.
ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN
FIGURES THE RAILROADS
SHOULD BE GETTING MORE
ACTUAL REVENUE OUT OF q
CENT FARES WITHOUT PASSES
AND EXCURSION RATES THAN
THEY USED TO GET OUT OF.
THE 3-CENT FARES WITH PAS
SEES AND EXCURSION RATES.
In spite Of this obvious arithmet-
ical fact and in spite of. the fact
that the railroads were willing to
make concessions which practically
amounted to 2-cents rates, they
pleaded that the ,2-cent fare law
was confiscatory, and the Federal
court has sustained their plea.
Senator Golfers letter completely
anihilates the railroads case, and
his remedy is one which The Her.
aid has already approved. He says:
i If the railroads decide to put in
to effect the Scent rate on July l,
it seems to me that the people of
this state should be benefited by
the increased earnings taken out of
the pockets Of the taxpayers of
this state, and the citizens of the
state ought to proceed at once to
petition the governor to call an ex-
ira session Of the legislature at an
early date for the purpose of rails
ing the gross earnings tax on the
railroads. amending the law in other
details and compelling the railroad
companies to furnish to the people
who are compelled to pay a rate
of 3 cents per mile the same pas
senger service that they have fur
nished to people who are only re-
quired to pay a rate Of 2 cents a
mile. The law, too. should be
changed SO that railroads shall pay
their share of the cost Of local i'm
provements.
Senator Collier, as usual, is emphat-
ically right. Herald.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1911-06-14

One Of the reasons urged by the
railroads why the Minnesota 2-cent
passenger rate law should be re-
pealed by the courts was that
the reduction was confiscatory; and
that was one of the reasons why the
Federal courts acceded to the wish
es of the rail roads rather than to
the wishes Of the people of Mime
sofa.
Is the 2-cent fare confscatory !?
The court says it is: but the rail
roads appear to have made more
money under it than they did un-
der the old 3 cent rate. and Senator
julius A. Collier of Scott county. in
a statement published in the Shake
pee Argus. shows that the railroads
admitted that it is not confscatory
by Offering. when the 2-cent fare
bill was pending. to concede rates
which practically amounted to
2-cent fares.
At that time. as Senator Collier
says. representatives of several OF
the leading railroads agreed as a
settlement to concede the follow
ing privileges:
Round trip tickets at flat 2 cents
a mile; 5O0-mile mileage books.
good only on roads of issuance and
good until used by the purchaser OF
any member of his family at flat 2
cents a mile; 1000-mile mileage
books. inter changeable and good
on all roads, limited to one year,
at fiat 2 cents a mile; extend tc
the public, as before, all special
and reduced rates such as excursion
rates. state fare rates, etc.
This proposal was approved by
the conference committee. of which
Senator Collier was a member, but
later the Northern Pacific refused
to abide by it. and new propose
was made, as follows:
One way fare at % cents; 500mile
book at cents; other usual mileage
books and excursions on same rate!
as in the past.
The new proposition not being
satisfactory as to freight rates
negotiations for settlement ended
and the legislature passed the 9
cent fare bill and the commodit,
rate bill which the Federal courts
have repealed by judicial decree.
