The SAFE Ruil.

The safest bull the dairyman can
use is generally a cross bull. At first
this may seem a strange assertion. The
reason. however, is simple. The bull
that is known to be cross will always
be watched. On the other hand, It Is
easy to put too much confidence In a
tame bull that may suddenly become
cross.

last five years OF the decade the
average production OF this class was
1929 pounds OF milk and 1873 pounds

Entitled to Better Service.


1T is found that of the patients there
were twenty-five cases during the year OF
typhoid fever, which should have been
treated in other hospitals of the city hav-
ing better provision for such cases. There
We're thirty-seven cases of childbirth
These undoubtedly should have been adj
mitted by other hospitals having special
facilities for their care"
The report continues:
Included in the daily average Of 15C
cases there were altogether 425 mental
cases, all housed in the old almshouse
building OF these 300 are reported dis
charged as improved and ninety-four as
cured, these figures showing that the
average stay of each inmate was short
not over ten or twelve days.
THE examination led to the conclusion
that the existing Asylum Hospital is
needlessly expensive; that the work done
by it can be done with better results in
every way at very slight outlay by
other public and semi-public institutions
of the city having present hospital equip
ment,

Yet $22. so per month is all that

The exteriors are of handsome
pressed brick, reinforced with

The interiors consist of six per-
fectly planned rooms and bath
each an outside room-each with
plenty of wall space to make fur
nisl1ing easy-and each with
plenty of window space for sun
light and ventilation.
Is it any wonder that such a
home has established a new SELL

is not-especially when you con-
slider the fact that the full pur-
chase price is but $2,75o-consid-
cradle less than you could buy
such home for in equally as de-

paid the entire amount in cash.

changes in our tax laws that will en-

Promises Business Talk
In opening his speech, Mr.. Ringdal
declared his belief that a political
gathering should be conducted like
any other business meeting" 81
shall refrain from all attempts to
thrill, he said.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-10-15

Men of today, he said, are free in
appearance. but not in fact. They
are controlled through their needs.
Our social and Industrial organiza-
ton is based on cooperation and
competition, both, but abuses have
arisen through railroad partnership
with industrial corporations. Dis
elimination in rates first built up the
trusts. In this way the railroads in
the coal fields got possession of the
coal.
"Wein Minnesota, he said, ''have
had a bitter experience in this field.
1t is only about twenty years since
there was discovered on the Mesaba
range some of the most extensive
iron mines in the world. But those
who originally filed on them and OBJ
tanned title from the government got
little outof them. They were frozen
out in the same way that the coal
miners were frozen out, through
partnership between the railroads
and certain favored mines. For
many years now the iron industry in
Minnesota has been owned and con-
trolled by the same interests that
cwn and control the iron-carrying
railroads."
There is no check on the rapacitv
of the trusts, Mr.. Ringdal declared,
except the ability of the American
people to pay. Yet it has been
preached that their prosperity was
due to superior business ability and
more rigid economy. THAT is the
blacklist SANDER ever put upon the
American people, said Mr.. Ringdal.
The truth is that the cornerstone
of every trust and monopoly is spe-
cial privilege"
Referendum Is Initiative Reversed
The referendum is merely the mi
tiative working backward. 1t is set
in motion in the same manner, by a
petition. But it applies to laws that
have been passed by the legislature.
Ii the legislature passes a law that
we do not want, we repeal it. In
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-10-15

this way we lead our legislators out
of temptation again. For who will
MAINTAIN an expensive lobby or who
will corrupt the legislature to pass a
law that the people themselves are
likely to repeal?
1.-THE recall is also a power that
we reserve to ourselves in all our
private business. When we engage
an agent to do our business for US,
we reserve the right to discharge
him if he persists in carrying on our
business in a way that we do not ap-
prove That is what We now pro-
pose to do in our public business.
We propose to discharge our agents
when they persist in doing things Of
which we do not approve.
Minnesota and the Railroads
1--WE in Minnesota, said Mr. Ring
dial, ''have had considerable expert
ence with our present form of rail-
road regulation. Not many years
ago the railroad commission adopted
commodity rates, an ! through leg
islative action, these rates were
agreed to by the railroad companies.
But no sooner had the legislature adj
journed than the federal courts were
appealed to, with the result that the
cases are still pending.
eve have had another experience,
also, in Minnesota, which is some
what unique. Passenger fares Of 2
cents mile were establishedby law,
but, after adopting and using them
for considerable period of time,
the railroad companies experienced
a change of heart. and, in violation
of the plain provisions of the law,
raised the rates back again to3 cents
a mile. Now, every time you buy a
railroad ticket, the law is violated,
and you aremade to pay third more
than it allows. No such action was
taken in surrounding states. Wis
consln on the east, Iowa on the south
and the Dakotas on the west, all en-
Joy better passenger rates than do
the people of Minnesota. Evidently
the companies have discovered that
Minnesota is an easy mark. F"
