ORGANIZE CLUB TONIGHT
Bemidji Automobile Owners to Boost
for Better Roads.

At o'clock this evening in the
Commercial Club rooms there will
be meeting of all owners of auto
mobiles in Bemidji, for the purpose
of organizing an automobile club.
The plan for the establishment of
a club in this city has long been un-
der way, and only the determination
of those who are pushing the idea, to
start the club out in the best possible
manner has been the cause of it not
having been organized long ago.
Bylaws have been drawn up, as
have the resolutions, and they are
very likely to be accepted as they
now stand. Officers will also be
elected this evening.
The Bemidji club will, as soon as
it has become organized, join the
State Automobile association, which
has as its main purpose, the estab-
lishment and maintenance of good
roads in the state.

Committee Report on Extension OF
Free List Is a Merger of Demo
cratic Political Argument.
IS ONLY RIGHT TO FARMERS
Declares Proposed Legislation Will
Compensate the Producer for Ad-
vantages Lost by Reciprocity.

Washington, April 20.-The major
1ty report of the ways and means com
mittee on the SO called farmers free
list bill, submitted to the house by
Chairman Underwood, is a merger OF
Democratic political argument and an
analysis of the proposed duty exemp
lions.
The report shows that the bill would
reduce the tariff revenue $10,0l6,495.
based on the importations for the last
fiscal year, an amount described as
"lnconsiderable in comparison with
the great saving and advantages to all
of our people from the additions to
the free list provided for
Quoting President Tafts recent Ca.
madam reciprocity speeches the report
seeks to convey the impression that
the administration is convinced that
protective tariff rates are too high.
In several public addresses" it
says, he (the presidenD has admit
ted that tariff rates are too high, that
such rates have resulted in excessive
ly high prices, felt especially in the
increased cost Of living, which now
bears heavily on our people, and that
they have not received the long prom
lsed benefits of domestic competition
under high protective duties"
Republican Tariff Policy.
Referring to the presidents state
ment that the Republican party had
modified its tariff policy so as to limit
it for purposes of protection to the
difference in cost of production here
and abroad with a reasonable profit
to the American producer, the COM
mittee report says:
"This is confession, as was the
Republican platform of 1908, that the
theory Of high protective duties, as
put forth by the Republican party, has
broken down, that combinations and
trusts which prey upon the people
have been fostered by the tariff and
that under high tariff protection Amer
lean manufacturers have forced un-
reasonable profits from the people,
The reciprocity agreement, the COM
mittee asserts, cannot afford the Amer
lean people all the needed relief from
high prices. action on the agree.
ment involves the necessity of further
and immediate action in removing a
number of duties on imports from
other countries in order that justice
may be done to the great army of agri
cultural producers, who in the Cana,
dian agreement are to have all the
alleged protection removed from their
products without a corresponding or
reciprocal removal of the protective
duties most burdensome on the com,
modities they must purchase as nee,
essary to sustain their lives and in.

PRATT PRAISES COMPANY <
Major of Second Battalion, State
Militia, Visits Bemidji.


1t was with much satisfaction, ac-
cording to his statements, that Ma
jor Pratt of Anoka, of the second bat
talon of the third regiment, of the
Minnesota National Guard, found
the condition of Company K, the Be-
midi member of the state militia,
at the annual state inspection, held
last evening.
In speaking of the company the
Major said:
81 find, in my travels from one
militia company to another, that
Company X is in the best of stand
ing. In nearly every place visit,
hear this company more or less
favorably spoken Of. Their work at
Baudette last fall has made them
known over the entire state, and /
am very proud of the@bovs I found
in my inspection tonigh., that the
condition of affairs are mach better
than l had expected to find them.
Bemidji is, I believe, one of the best
drilled companies in the state, and
are considered by the higher officers,
as such. I am very glad that the
company is to be given better quar-
tiers, they are deserving of them"

Oyer Sixty Schools Would Like to Re-
ceive One of the Twenty $500
Appropriations.
BEM1DJ1 MAKES APPLICATION
Delegation From Bemidji to Attend
Meeting of State High School
Board in St. Paul Tomorrow.

Word has been received by W. P.
Dyer, superintendent of the Bemidii
public schools, to the effect that
there will be more than so applica-
tions from high schools of the state
the Bemidji high school being one of
them, for the twenty $4,000 appropri-
ations which the recent legislature
voted to give high schools to aid
them in the maintenance of an agri-
cultural department in connection
with the high school work.
AS has been stated in the Daily
Pioneer, the Bemidji Board of Edu-
cation and the Commercial club will
both send delegates to be present
at the meeting of the State High
School Board, which will be held in
the State Capitol in St. Paul tomor-
row morning, this board having the
authority to designate the twenty
schools which will be given the ap-
preparations.
Superintendent Dyer is today busy
preparing written statement, which
will be read to the state board, which
in effect is to explain to that body
the present industrial advantages in
operation in the Bemidji high school,
and other reasons why this city
should be seriously considered in the
selection Of the proper places for the
appropriations to be designated.
1t is understood that the State
Board will hear the arguments of the
delegations from the cities who wish
to obtain one of the schools, in Con-
gressional order, which means that
the Bemidji district, the Ninth, will
be the last to be heard.
There are eleven applications in
this district, they being, Bemidji,
Thief River Falls, Argyle, Detroit,
Fergus Falls, Fertile, Halstad, Red
Lake Falls, Roseau, Stevens and
Warren.
OF these 4 have had small agricul-
tural departments in connection with
their school work for several years,
which doubtless will be an induce
ment, which the board will not over
look.
Another fact which may result in
Bemidji losing one of the appropri-
ations is that this city is not con-
sidered to be in an agricultural COM
munity, and for that reason does not
need one of the departments. This,
in the eyes of many, is just the
reason why this city should receive
the aid, as it will help to extend the
agricultural possibilities Of this
country.

ONLY FEW ATTEND CONCERT
Entertainment Given by Musical
Eckhardts Above Average.

Last evenings concert given by
the Musical Eckhardts, in the City
Opera House under the auspices of
the Presbyterian church, was one of
the few really high-class entertain
ments of its kind to visit Bemidji,
and those who did not attend the con-
cert missed rare treat.
The Eckhardts, who are known
over the entire United States as the
Swiss Bell Ringers and entertainers,
have a national reputation of being
experts in their line, and their eff
forts last evening were much apre-
ciated by a small audience

5000 ACTS At BR|NkMAN
Several Features to be Staged at Pop
ular Playhouse.

Manager Brinkman of the Brink
man Theatre is entertaining his pa
irons the latter half of this week
with several very clever and high
class vaudeville acts, the Four Col
lege Girls, will open tonight as will
Garvey and Davis.
The four young .ladies-and they
are pretty, graceful and attractive
appear in college songs and dress,
rendering quartets, duets and solos.
They feature their act very pref
tily, decorating the stage with a
large number of pennants and pill
lows representing the leading COL
leges of the country, CONSPICUOUS
among them being penants of the
University of Minnesota and the
Bemidji high school. The stage
really looks like college girls
room. They also dress their act
very neatly and attractively.
Garvey and Davis present "Musi-
cal Nonsense" and have made a hit
wherever they have appeared.
In addition to these splendid at
fractions several interesting photo
plays are given, and taking it all in
all the bill is one of the strongest
offered in that house.
Manager Brinkman endeavors to
give his patrons the very best at
fractions he can secure, and that
his efforts are being appreciated is
evidenced by the large audiences
that attend every performance.

The pipe for the new mains Is expected to ar rive next week, and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The feeding lines in the business portion of the city will be laid in the alleys to prevent any disturbance of traffic or lifting of pavement on the main streets in case repairs on the lines should prove necessary, as frequently occurs. and the lines at present laid on the main streets will be aban doned The work of laying the new
