CIoquet COMPANIES will Paw Weekly.

Responsive to request from the
business men of the city, the mill
owners of Cloquet have signiied
their willingness to pay four times
per month instead of monthly, as
in the past, this agreement being
based on action by the merchants
of the city to form a credit associa-
ton and eliminate the bad debt
feature of business.
Weekly pay days would have
greater tendency than aught else to
do away with the obnoxious credit
system, under which the man who
pays his way is forced to pay, indi-
rectly, for the short comings of his
neighbor-for the merchant, in or
der to live, must have his percent
age of profit on his gross business.
Further, when man earns his
money he is entitled to his pay, and
if such pay was forthcoming week
ly would stand in position to pay
the grocer, the butcher, the baker,
and even the printer, as he went
along. The system is one appeal
ing to the business interests of the
state and should extend from Clio.
quet to every mining and manufac-
uring center of Minnesota. The
elimination of "bad" accounts from
business would tend greatly to re-
duce the cost of living to the honest
man, as he would not be called up
on to pay the "dead" or "shaky" ac-
counts of those to be found in every
community.

And Jimmy Boyle Swallowed It Whole.

"A perusal of the range press gives

southern Minnesota senators for

tend their damning with full force
to Mr.. Congdon, the author of the
infamous measure attempted to be
saddled onto the ranges-a reap
portionment measure that insofar
as the ranges and outlying districts
comprising a big majority of the
population of St. Louis county is
concerned bears no semblance Of
equity.
But Jimmy Boyle-our own Jim.

Steel Corporation Congdon-who]e
Senator Boyle, in his opposition
to the county division bill and his
unqualified support of the attempt

among the honestvoters of the iror
