REDUCED RATES rs WHAT THE PE0-
PIE WANT.

PIE WANT.
Increasing the rate of taxation paid
by railroads simply means that, un-
der recent court decisions, the people
will be obliged to pay additional pas
senger and freight charges. That the
rate of taxation will be increased from
four to five per cent at the next ses-
sion of the legislature is altogether
probable. But adding one or two
per cent to the railroad taxes will
not benefit all the people of the
state; it will provide means for larger
appropriations for the state UNIVERSE
ty and the other educational, chari-
table and correctional institutions of
the state and the creation of lot of
new Offices. It would be far better,
and of a great deal more benefit to
the people, if the railroads we're to
reduce their passenger and freight
rates and leave the rate of taxation
as it is at present. If, however, the
boost in passenger and freight rates
is to be maintained permanently the
demand for an increase in the rail-
road gross earnings tax will become
irresistible.

More conventions will be held in
Duluth this summer than ever before
known in it's history. And why? Be.
cause Duluth has been advertising
its advantages and has told the truth
in the brochures which it has scattred
broadcast. 1t has advertised it's
climate, it's hotel accommodations, it's
scenic features. etc. It is an un-
deniable fact that, in the summer time
at least, Duluth cannot be surpassed
as convention city or as a trysting
place for pleasure seekers.

Our peeresses who we're excluded
from the coronation ceremonies are
still on the warpath and some of them
threaten to snub Queen Mary. 1t
seems that Mary, in making out her
list of those whom she considered
proper persons to mix with, eliminat-
ed a number Of American women who
bought English titles-not because
they came of plebian ancestry, but for
the reason that their characters would
not bear investigation. Queen Mary
should be commended rather than
censured for placing character above
title in making out her invitation list.

to this will probably be that some

an appropriation to cover the extra
incurred thereby.
