MINNESOTA PAVED way
FOR EXPRESS REDUCTION

me people of Minnesota paid $685.
ooo for the gathering of evidence on
express rates, which makes up an i'm
portant part Of the record in the inter-
state commerce commissions investi-
cation, eliminating in an order issued
yesterday looking toward a general re-
auction OF express rates. Work done
under supervision of Minnesota OFF,
Gals was followed up by federal au-
thorittes. who recognized that the
Minnesota investigation started in
1910 was the first scientific inquiry
that ever had been made into the sub
ject.
The Minnesota case was started
Feb. Is, 1910. George T. Simpson,
then attorney general. acting at the
request OF she state railroad commits
sloners. flUd a complaint against all
express companies doing business in
the state. demanding a reduction in
rates. This followed the filing of sew
eral complaints by private parties in
Isolated cases. the first having been by
Senator b. E. Sundberg of Kennedy.
The commission decided to go to the
bottom of the whole subject, and em-
ployed a rate expert. c. w. Hillman,

We're also brought in to show the cost
of handling express business. The in
te"state commerce commission started
it's general investigation June s, 1911,
and from the start made use of the

sion and Mr.. Hillman was on the stand
for two days explaining his methods,
so as to lay a foundation for using his
figures in the federal case.
The Minnesota commission finished
its hearings last October, and ever
since has been holding back it's deci-
sion, because the Sanborn decision in
the railroad rate case left the author
ity of h commission in doubt. The
state express rates will be fixed very
after the supreme courts has act
if it reverses the Sanhorn decision.
If the decision is affirmed and the
state commissions authority is multi
fed. there will be no use in such an
order, but the reduction Of interstate
rates will be made before that time,
and will have the effect Of compelling
reductions even within the state.

BAN ON CAMPAIGN CIGARS.

respects. He holds hat candidates
for congress must comply with tbs:
law. as the federal corrupt practices
requires congressional candidates to
conform with state laws.
Placing the candidates name or an
nouncement on anything Of value, for
distribution, is held to be illegal, as
this amounts to giving an inducement
ia the voter, and is corrupt. This ap-
plies to the candidate who asked if it
was permissible to give away lead
pencils bearing his name. Paid news
paper announcements. it is held, must
be preceded with a statement of the
amount paid for them. the name and
address of the author and of the man
making the announcement. The law,
Mr.. Smith says, prohibits the giving

REGARDING the proposed ANAL

western end of a 10,O0O.O 900
manufacturing corporation that
will figure prominently in the

chinery industry. but General
Manager Fred S. Glover, who
yesterday confirmed the report
that the deal is on, said today
that Winnipeg rumors that the
International Harvester company
is back Of the deal is untrue.

there never have been any nego-
tiations. directly or indirectly,

Glover said.

International is to he interested is
wholly ~unwarranted. If the four
companies decide t consolidate
their management and sales de-
partments, they will form an or
g~anization entirely independent
from the International"
The rumor probably grew out
of the fact that the International
now has a large plant in Hamil-
ton, Ont, While the Gas Traction
company has a Winnipeg branch,
Mr.. Glover said.
The four companies in the new
plan are the Gas Traction COM
pany, Minneapolis; Emerson &
