Queer Toll Tale Queery

Among the public Improvement
calculated to excite the civic pride
of its citizens and the appreciation
of rail and river tourists, Red Wing
has bridge spanning the Mississ-
ippi which in massive structure, de-
sign and architectural appearance
evidently second to none in the
county. Ever since its erection we
have admired it from many points
of view, but it was not until very
recently that we had occasion to
cross it and learn that its manage
ment had adopted a scale of toll
charges in which discrimination is
evidently made on the size of a
mans jaw or beard, or some crud-
ence in his personal makeup which
might serve to make him persona
no grata TO the critical toll gather
er.
Coming from Cannon Falls in an
auto last week with five in the car,
including the writer, we were
charged a toll of sixty cents; Had
ley Johnson of River Falls, with
six in his car, crossed the same
day and was charged twenty cents;
Mr.. Jenson with car and four pass
engers was charged thirty cents;
another River Falls gentleman
following as with car and four
passengers was charged fifty cents.
Whero the line of demarcation is,
and what disguise we must assume
to meet the extra judicial approval
of this modernized Horatio at the
bridge at our next crossing, we
have yet to ascertain. Perhaps one
of our honest and independent
journalistic brethren at Red Wing
may take the trouble to enlighten
us.-Hudson Star-Observer.

A Good Bill

A bill is under consideration by
the legislature in Illinois forbid
ding the Modern Woodman Society
raising its insurance rates, as it
proposed to do, prior TO Jan. /
1915. Much discussion was pro-
voked by the proposed raise in
rates and there are points made
pro and con. A Chicago paper in
commenting upon the matter says
that the effort of the legislature to
interfere in the matter may be an
attempt to wreck the society and to
deprive 100000 women of their
their protection; that the raise in
rates is necessary and upheld by
reputable insurance experts; that
the Legislators are meddlinR for
political reasons; and that what
the fraternal societies need in Illi-
nois, is 10 be let alone by the pow
ers of the state. Another paper
suggests that if less money were
spent by the officers of the society
in attempts to raise the rates, more
would be available to pay off
claims. 1t makes The point that
the raising of rates will naturally
decrease new membership which is
so essential to fraternal insur-
ance society; and that old mem
bers whose rates are increased will
drop out from inability to pay pre-
miums. 1t speaks of the fact that
the society has for years been able
to meet its obligation and asks
why it is needful, all of sudden,
to increase the rates? The answer
is suggested in the need or desire
of the officers to have new "chug-
chug'' boat or touring car.
To put aside the lighter vein, it
seems to us that the raising of the
rates is a serious matter and ought
to be done by the society only by
necessity. 1t is also serious mat
ter for a Legislature to attempt to
control financial matters of a socie
ty only after careful and reliable
investigation. The intention of
the legislature in merely postpon-
ing the time that the rates could be
raised is plainly conservative and
remedial. In the time intervening
between now and January ,I1915, it
is apparently the intention of the
Legislature to look up the condi-
tions. If no harm is done the So
ciety meanwhile the restriction pro-
posed may be sane and profitable.
