Company Agrees to Return to State
$4,000 Omitted On Gross
Earnings
NEW MERCHANDISE CHARGES
Great Northern Schudule TO Be Ac-
cepted AS Holding Good From
Deer River

Deer River, April 1.-The farmers
living along the line Of Minneapolis
& Rainy River railroad, better
known as the Itasca logging road,
and the merchants here and at Big
Fork, won big victory last week in
the rate case of George Herried and
others VS.. the Minneapolis G Rainy
River railroad company, which was
argued before the state railroad and
warehouse commission, when the re-
spondent company agreed to all the
reductions and changes asked by the
plaintiff with the exception of a low
er tariff on logs and timber products.
The company agreed to make con-
cessions abandoning it's contended
right to make trackage charges for
merchandise from or to the Great
Northern which was routed over it's
road and also agreed to accept mer-
chandlSe at the same rates as
charged by the Great Northern.
1t obligated itself to accept any
rate made by the commission on
agricultural products and conceded
the ise7alidity Of the alleged con-
t'acts by which Ine Itasca Lumber
company and the Deer River Lumber
company were given rates lower than
the published tariffs, which resulted
in charge being made that over
100000 in gross earnings had been
withheld from the reports furnished
the state. They also agreed to coll
lect that amount from these COM
panies.
Some time ago suit was started by
the state to collect a gross earnings
tax Of over $4,000 on the omitted
amount and they now agree to pay
this without suit.
The question of reducing the rate
on logs and timber products was
argued for the complaining petition
er by George H. Spear, who handled
the case for the business men and
farmers, yesterday afternoon. He
claimed there is still large amount
of standing timber along the route of
the logging road, owned by the set
tiers and that unless the tariff is re-
duced, the development of that en-
tire section Of the country will be
retarded. He claimed that under
the existing rates they can not get
the timber stuff out except at loss
and consequently they are making
little or no effort to clear the lands.
He argued that the rate on the Itasca
logging road should be the same as
on all others laboring under exist
ing conditions; that the reduction
of the rates on foodstuffs would not
benefit the settlers unless there was
also a reduction on that which stood
for their principal source of revenue
at the present time.
This case is the outcome of several
protests that were filed with the
company by the farmers in the
northern portion of Itasca county
and the business men at Deer River,
Big Fork and Jessie Junction, and to
which no attention was paid. The
case was then taken up before the
railroad and warehouse commission

IMPROVED ELECTRIC SERVICE
There May Be No More Complaint
About Fans on Sunday in the
City Of Bryan

Yesterday for the first time Bryan
enjoyed an all-day Sunday electric
current, and the man who has been
in the habit of saying words not
learned at Sunday school when he
turned on the fan Sunday, refrained
from violating one of the command
ments, and instead a broad smile
might have been seen on his face. for
the fans started off Immediately
when the current was turned on.
We can now boast of a service
equal to that of any city, and this was
brought about by the installation at
the power plant of an additional De-
isel engine and generator, and the
people of Bryan may from now on de-
pend on spending a pleasant Sunday
under good fan if they desire to use

him to the favorable consideration
of the voters of this senatorial dis
trict.
Mr.. Astin Is a native Texan, a
graduate of the State University, and
! is lawyer of fine ability and consid
cradle experience. He was reared
On farm in Robertson county and
is now actively engaged in farming
in that county, and having resided
most of his life in the district, his
interests are closely identified with
those of the people whom he desires
to represent; he understands the
needs of the district, and his charac-
, ter for honor and integrity can be
implicitly relied upon,
He is a staunch Democrat, hav-
ing grown up in the faith and be-
lieves that in the perpetuity of the
principles of Democracy rests the
future welfare and the only hope of
our country.
1t is fact that Brazos county has
not had the State Senatorship for
nearly thirty years except during the
last Legislature, when the Honorable
J. r. Astin was elected to fill out the
unexpired term of Judge A. J. Harp
er and has not served a full term in
the Senate but only half term.
Mr.. Astin, in obedience to the ex-
pressed will of majority of the
Democrats of this the Twelfth Sen
atorial District, in the last Legisla-
ture voted for the submission to the
people of the prohibition amendment
as he was instructed by the Demo-
Gratis of this District so to do and
stands ready at all times to carry out |
he will of the people as expressed by
hem.
Mr. Astin represented this district
n the Thirty-second Legislature and
We, the undersigned members of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
}razos county, do most heartily en-
orse his course in same. He made
brilliant record, Notwithstanding the
act that it was his first term and
re do not hesitate to say that the
interests of the district could not {
ossibly have been more faithfully {
erved His work in the Senate was i
OF only beneficial to his own dis l.
'ict, but its Influence is felt through t
ut the state. f
Mr. Astin is recognized as the n
hampton of the cause of education, n
re greatest interest of this, or any L

st so close to the people and that
ore directly affects them. Mr.. AS. e.
MS interest is not only for our col b
ges and State University, but it ex- Il

lral districts. He is for education Pr
I'd will foster its every interest p,
