The banquet at St. Paul Thursday
evening last week was splendid
event. 1t was great gathering OF
representative men in the democratic
party, from the Dakotas, Iowa and
Minnesota. Some Of the speakers ex-
oected we're not able to be present, but
those who were there included Bryan,
Folk, Burke and Hammond, a
splendid quartet with the brilliant
Wade of Iowa as postmaster.
Hammond we'll decrlbed the good
work 50 far done by the lower house of
congress-. Burke was clever and
eloquent, Folk intellectual and
brilliant, but the man from Nebraska
was-Bryan, and enthusiastic friend
and reluctant enemy both felt the
power OF the great tribune OF the
people. And the listeners at the
banquet and IN the crowded galleries
snplauded his every utterance.

Great Northern Issues Six Hun.
dred Million Bonds.
MAY ABSORB THE BURLINGTON
Financiers Believe J. J. Hill Intends
to Carry Out His Long Cher
ished Ambition.

st. Paul, June 1.-Of6cial announce
ment was made from the general Of
fees of the Great Northern railroad
of the issuance of $600,000,000 in
bonds, covering one of the biggest fl
nancial deals that has ever been made
in the West. The biggest proportion
of the issue will take care of old
bonds which have been issued by the
company from year to year, to cover
extensions and improvements, but the
other big slice makes provision for
the taking over of the Burlington rail-
road.
1t is claimed by railroad officials
that the consolidation of the Great
Northern and the Burlington, and the
separation of the ties between the
Northern Pacific and the other Hill
lines, will not take place Immediately,
but it is admitted that the Great
Northern, by the issuance of the bonds,
is providing the means whereby James
J. Hill at the proper time will be able
to take over the Burlington system.
The fact that Mr.. Hill has been
planning on acquiring absolute control
OF the Burlington, releasing the North
ern Pacific of it's responsibility and
control of that line, has been a matter
of common gossip for some time. It
has been reported that he was simply
waiting until the time would be pro-
pitious for the consummation of such
a deal. That time is now quickly ap-
preaching. It may be two or three
years before it can be carried through
successfully, but that it is under way
is regarded as certain by those who
have been watching the trend of
events.
The fate of the Northern Pacific, if
it is divorced from the other Hill lines,
is uncertain. It may be taken over
by the Northwestern, or it may alb
sorb the Great Western, Morgan
road, as is the Northern Pacific.

Senator julius A. Collier in a very
able letter published in the Shakopee
4 lgus, urges an extra session to meet
he situation presented by the action
Of the railroads in raising passenger
au9 railroad rates Senator Collier
give, the history of the railroad bills
proposed IN the 1907 session of the
legislature, some Of them drastic, and
how the attorneys representing the
railroads offered to make certain con-
sessions, including the two cent per
mile passenger rate. The proposals
were favorably received, but Attorney
Bum advised the Northern Pacific
road not to agree to the first proposal,
taut it did agree to the second, which
included the 2 1-2 cent fare. The
freight rates proposed were not salts
factory and negotiations ended. The
anti-p bill, the two-cent fare bill,
and the maximum freight rate bill,
all became law Now the railroads,
taking advantage of Judge Sanburn e
decision, and without waiting for the
supreme court to act, are going to
restore the three cent rate and raise
freight rates also. The railroads are
not treating the people fairly. Sena-
tor Collier shows how since 1907 the
legislatures of 1909 and 1911 have re-
fused to enact antagonistic legislation,
believing the roads would be fair. The
Dads not approaching this forbearance
and showing a disposition to get the
pound of flesh, Senator Collier strongly
urges an extra session. which would
raise the gross earnings tax from to
Per cent, compel railroads to pay for
municipal Improvements, and compel
railroads to use all steel cars lin
passenger trains. -
Senator Collier is right, but very
likely it an extra session is called,
tho legislation enacted would 70 far
beyond his suggestions. There is little
question but that the latest move of
tbe' roads, in raising rates, has ex-
asperated the people, and something
is due to drop.
