Rate
proposed by
Cnrnnrafinn

Such reduction as will soon be effec-
tive has been occasion9d by the good
work Of the Corporation Commission,
but that body announces that the rates
proposed by it are more reasonable and
that the matter will be fought out at
the earliest possible date.
Paul Geary, elected from this county
is one of the members of the Corpor-
alton Commission, which has done such
woman service to their constituents
and the public at large and rightly de-
serves the commentator OF the people.
Mr.. Geary has made strong and
uphill fight against the exhorbitant
rates of railroads, as charged in the
state and deserves great credit that it
has, so far, been winning fight.

REDUCED RATES ON COAL
SECURED In ARIZONA
Corporation Commission to Appeal to
The |. c. c. for Further Reduction

After weeks of earnest effort the
Corporation Commission has secured &
reduced rate on coal from Gallup, n
M, to intermediate points between
that town and Phoenix.
The Maricopa County Commercial
Club attacked the rates between Gal
lup and Mesa about four years ago, and
in the decision rendered therein the
Interstate Commerce Commission pre-
scribed $3.50 per ton to be the maxim
rate between Gallup and Tempe and
Mesa, and expected the defendant
companies to adjust the intermediate
rates on the basis prescribed. Not
! withstanding this decision the carriers
continued to collect what the Corpora
ton Commission termed to be an I'M
reasonable rate and the matter was
taken up with the A. T. & s. F. in
particular with reference to an adjust
ment.
For instance, although the share of
the Arizona Eastern Railroad Com
pany of the So. 90 rate is fully cents,
yet the Santa Fe charges Phoenix the
full rate.
Flagstaff pays the same as Tempe
and Phoenix, Prescott likewise, and
this state of affairs persuaded the COM
mission that the adjustment was not
in line as recommended by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
As result of the conference between
the A. T. & S. F. the rates in North
ern Arizona will be reduced, but the
Corporation Commission contends that
the reduction is not sufficient and has
filed complaint with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, praying for
what is termed to be a reasonable re-
duction.
The new rate will be operative on or
about November 10th, as that allot-
ment of time is necessary to provide
for the filing of the same under the
federal law.
Below is statement of the old, the
proposed rate to be installed, and the
rate contended for by the commission,
regarding which complaint has been
filed.

GENEROUS OFFER.

To People With Stomach Trouble
Many readers OF this paper suffer
at times from indigestion, and a large
number Of them are baby rundown
and have no appetite for their meals
We wish to make an offer that is
unusually generous. Our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation without
oil (Vinol) is a great strengthening
tonic. 1t has also cured many bad
cases Of stomach trouble.
Mrs. Desire G~oudreau, of Woon-
socket, r. /. says my husband was
very weak and rundown and had
been in bad health for Ave years. He
suffered greatly from pains in his
stomach and had poor appetite. This
spring / got him to take yinol and it
is simply fine. He has been grow
ing stronger ever since, his appe-
title returned and he had no stomach
trouble since taking Vinol."
So we say. if you have stomach
trouble, are rundown, played out and
sickly, try Vinol at our risk. If il
does not please you, we will give
back every cent of your money. Fout

Ia FoLLETTE's CONDITION.

Mr.. LaFollette's breakdown appears
to be more serious than was at first
supposed. hs extraordinary per-
Torrance at the dinner of the Pub
fishers association in Philadelphia is
BELIEVED to have been the result of his
physical and mental degeneration
rather than the occasion of it. A cor
respondent Of TIL, Boston Herald says
that on the train going to Philadelphia
Mr.. Toilette read the manuscript Of
- speech to, his secretary and that it
took only thirty-four minutes to read
it, but WREN he delivered it he repeated
himself so often and made such a
grated oratorical explorations he
spent two hours and thirty-ive min
utes in a frenzied waste of words.
Says the correspondent:
Mr.. LaFollette's impromptu utter
ances were, by common consent. those
OF an unbalanced man. He began his
speech by telling his audience that he
was going to read what he had to say,
SO as to have a record OF it, because he
knew most of those present would not
like it, and that they might in conse-
quence misrepresent it. He avowed
that he was not going to be misrepre-
scented, and shaking the manuscript in
the air, as if in defiance, declared that
ne had before him what would refute
them If they attempted any such tao
tics. q His auditors were some
time in getting their bearings as the
strange performance proceeded, and it
is only now that the outside public be-
gins to perceive what the whole affair
meant. 1t was a nervousIy distraught
mar who spoke in Philadelphia, n
who ought to have been at that
moment in a sanitarium.

BrumInel OF the senate. The senator
10 partially in ambush behind a very
correct and carefully parted beard. 1t
IS aid that If one hair of this beard
gets on N wrong side of the part, the
senator finds it difieult to navigate on
a straightaway course. but that is only
"a press gallery story and we are here
to report facts. The senator was the
mouthpiece of the Roosevelt admins
tration, but is not doing any mouth
piecing at present.
Sen. Elihu Root. who sits near
Lodge, wears bangs, like those Of Ber-
tina, the sewing machine girl, and he
doesn't appear to care who knows ii.
Senator Root looks like his picture. 1t
isn't necessary to say anything more
sarcastic about him.
Near LaFollette sits an old chap
from the beautiful sucker state Of Mis-
souri, by the name OF Gum Shoe Bill
Stone. Stone wears one of those old
fashioned civil val s%tovepipe lids and
is almost a replica of the more or less
immortal Henry Clay. He is ONE
thing over six feet in height, and when
he gets up to speak you would natur-
ally expect to hear a sound similar to
the bellows of an enraged male bovine
who has just caught sight of a red
petticoat, but you are disappointed.
Gum Shoe Bill has one Of those gentle
lyric tenor voices which comes from
nowhere. goes nowhere and makes no
noise while going. He is known as the
voieeless orator. and is therefore one
of the most interesting men In the SEN
ate to listen to. You can't hear him at
all.
Jeff Davis of Arkansas, gets on by
his name. He is the ~Ire-eating states
man from the wild southwest who was
going to walk down to the center aisle
IN his stocking feet, and who said that
nobody but a consummate ass would
wear a dress suit. He hasn't walked
down the aisle in his sock feet vet, and
he still sits in a back seat right near
the door. The senate has a waysof its
own of cooling of these tempestuous
characters. Henry "a. Dupont, the pow
der king Of Delaware, looks more like
q boot and shoe merchant in Oskaloosa,
Ia, than like one of these dimnied
trust magnates, He wears q fecktie
THAT fastens behind with a rubber.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS.

Minneapolis is setting the other
cities in the west a splendid example
in its civic improvement work. The
transformation that has been effected
in the mill city during the last FIVE
years is most remarkable. The plans
for the next three years are greater
than those already carried out. In an
other hye years-Minneapolis will be
entitled to the name of the city beau
tiful.
Fargo is not as large as Minneapolis.
1t lacks some of the natural advantages
Minneapolis possesses-but has some
that are as attractive. What a splen-
did inspiration there is for Fargoans
--in studying the work done in Minne-
apolisI 1t should result in a greater
interest in civic Improvement work
here,
There has been a good start made.
The ction Of a park commission was
the initial step. A great advance has
been made since the commission as
stunned its duties. Elaborate plans are
made for future work.
Some day-with proper co-opera-
ton on the part Of the citizens-Far-
go should rank high among the at
tractive municipalities Of the north
west, What is needed in Fargo is a
more enthusiastic sentiment along this
lire. A greater number of people
should become L~lterested-and the re-
suits would be as striking and remark
able as in Minneapolis.
Spring will soon be here. 1t is the
season when n naturally devotes
more thought to civic Improvement
work. Investigate, inform yourself of
the possibilities of Fargo. Take an
active interest in the park commission
work-study out plans and make sug-
gestions that may be helpful. It's
worth the effort.

The Brewery in Politics.

Irish Standard: One of the questions
that is receiving a large amount OF
attention at the present time is that OF
brewery domination in politics. 1t has
become widespread, is in no wise con-
Tined to Minnesota n bids fair to
reach national proportions. County
option IN this state, which was made
an unsuccessful issue in the las,
gubernatorial contest is largely the
outgrowth Of dissatisfaction with brew
cry control in politics, and for this il
for no other reason, is bound to grow
in favor.
In our own city and state the brew
ery-oWned saloon is looked upon as a
corrupting influence in politics. n
would not be so if those engaged in
business were perfectly indepen-
dent of the breweries. AS it is. how
ever, Of the 400 or more saloons in
Minneapolis over 80 per cent Of them
are owned or controlled by the brewers
and the licenses are paid by hem. Ii
IS y fair to say, also, that while there
are many good men in the business the
number would be much greater if they
were free from such control.
The power of the breweries to con-
troll saloons on a large scale is the
source of the political power Of the
liquor interests. Their large capita
and facilities for doing business on an
immense scale put them in a position
TO influence an enormous vote and ia
practically dictate how a number OF
dependents on them shall cast theil
ballots. The breweries realize the ad.
vantage they gain by operating their
own saloons. Every wine room they
control means a certain increase ii
the sale of their products. 1t &
stability for their trade. 1t d fr

The FIRST

~~
The presidential preference primary
occurs a month from today. Along
With it win be the election OF town
ship and municipal officers, members
OF the park commissions. delegates to
the national political conventions,
nominating electors and selecting a
tional committeeman.
The campaign from now on will be
an active one, There will be three
sets of candidates for the republican
nomination for the presidency. Taft
Roosevelt and LaFollette petitions
have been filed. At present the indi-
cations are that the Roosevelt dele
gates will lead with LaFolIette second
and Taft trailing behind. 1t scarcely
seems possible there could be such a
radical change of thought--in n
month-~as to get any other results
unless n candidate is withdrawn.
The democrats have been less pro-
miscuo''s in their presidential petition
ing--and Governor Burke is the only
of that political brand for whom
filing was made. Harmon, Wilson and
Clark supporters yielded to the "fav-
orite son" cry--and permitted the gov
a monopoly.
The municipal and township cleo
tions will ada to the interest and there
