roads, and the boosting of the North

ton, could be collected, it would
make a fund sufficient to build all
the trunk lines proposed and still
have millions left, and this drain
age and road making did not cost the
state a cent
The Railroad Issue.
In regard to all the newspaper
talk about retaliating on the rail-
roads, and some Of our aspiring poll
ticians who are seeking political
preferment are just tearing up the
railroads and filing the air with
scrap iron and splinters. Just con-
tain yourselves for awhile before tax
ing action. There is one point upon
which we would agree and that is
that the country people would be
most benefited by cheaper rates,
both as to passenger and freight.
Now, then, if that be true, the right
thing to do must be a move to Sc
cure two cent fares and lower freight
rates. Will any sane man tell me
that the way to secure these much
needed reductions is to pass Increased
tax measures and distance tariffs. If
there is any discrimination in tar
ifs at present, then some section
must be Disseminated against, and
if that be true it must necessarily
follow that some section is favored.
Then the logical thing for us living
up in Northern Minnesota is to as
certain our position and compare our
freight rates with other sections of
the state. Do you think it fair that
people living On level plain, where
one engine and one train crew can
handle twice as many cars as in an
other section where the surface is
very uneven and billy, not only cost
ing twice as much per mile to build
the road, but twice as much to keep
it in repair, would be entitled to the
same price per ton per mile as the
first named section?
How Can Fares Be Cut?
will some of these ambitious pol
/ lticians who want extra sessions to
reduce fares and rates, just kindly
tell us what power Or authority the
legislature would have, if in session,
TO reduce the fares even one mill.
By the power vested in the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission, by an
act of the legislature under the Can
by decision, they have the power to
regulate rates and fares until over
ruled by the courts, and as Judge
, Sanborn has oyerruled them then it
| is up to the supreme court to decide.
Even it we lose and Judge Sanborn is
sustained, then we have recourse, the
interstate commerce commission, who

rates, the operating expenses of the
road would have to be taken into
consideration, and taxes would have
to be taken into account az much as
trainmen, rolling stock or fuel. My
position is this: The cities and iron
properties pay sixty per cent of the
taxes of the state, while the country
districts pay over twenty-five per
cent of the passenger and freight
rates. ........ T.
Takes Issue With Herald.
ssThe Duluth Herald takes the po-
sition that the consumer pays all
freight rates. That may be true as
regards outgoing freight, as the
freight is added to all consignments
but how about grain and all farm
produce, which makes up a large
share of the tonnage. Wheat is
worth $1.10 in Duluth if you IN
load it at the elevator from your
u agon. Can you ship car of wheat,
~otatoes, hay or any other farm pro-
duce to Duluth from Bemidji and add
ten or eleven cents per hundred for
freight? Well, I guess not. The
farmer will have to go down into his
pocket and pay the freight or re-
cei'e just that much less at the ter
minal.. Hence increased taxes will
benefit the cities and iron proper
tbs at the expense of the agricultur-
al sections of the state.
This is no time for hasty action,
bat requires a very best thought of
all the people of which newspaper
editors and us politicians are a very
small portion.

inquiry, where he doubtless will be
severely dealt with; released from

Take for instance such a big

l am firmly of the opinion that if
the governor would call an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature for the pur-
pose Of re-districting the state. that,
both the House and Senate would
have a bill, perhaps not quite what
we might demand, but bill which
would give to Northern Minnesota a
much larger and fairer representa-
ton.

As to Good Roads.

Now. as to good roads the crying
need of Northern Minnesota. I am
afraid that my good friend Robert
has never got entirely over the su-
perstitutions of his native country
where they see fairies in every bush
for he sees ghosts now. The idea
of Southern and Central Minnesota
defeating the Good Roads Amend
ment, by which all the counties will
receive fair treatment, because a few
counties in Northern Minnesota see
fit to take advantage of the Elwell
law, when the county and the prop
erty owners not only pay half the
expense, but also their share of the
state tax, does not seem reasonable.
Southern Minnesota must know and
realize that Northern Minnesota is
contributing annually of its iron and
timber over twenty times as much as
it could receive. No, let us have Ell
we'll roads, Bob Dunn roads, or any
other fellow who wishes to make
good roads. We need them all and
we will give them all due credit be-
sides. Winona in Southern Mime
sofa is the first county to take ad-
vantage of the Elwell law. If twen-

UY YOUNG SAME OLD
HERO OF THE HUBITES

Philadelphia, Sept. S.-strange thing
that Connie Mack should have fore
seen several good pitching feats for
that grand old veteran, Cy Young. The
Athletics chief recently said that
Young would come pretty close to win
ming the pennant for Chance IL the
"Husk" would give him q chance.
Connie reasoned that old Cy could
win about five games from the time
the Maps sent him adrift If he was
used about every five days, so that
he could enter the game good and
strong from the rest. Chance could
mot see 1t that way, and Young went
back to his old love, the Boston Ma
tionals.
Cy was handed a lacing in the first
game he twirled for the Hopes, but
has come back with three straight VIC
tories. The Boston fans always idol
lied Cy, and he is the same hero with
the Hubites that he was fifteen years
ago, when he brought q pennant to
Frank Selee's famous club.
