WITH TIE TRAVELLERS
FARGO COUNCIL
TO MEET TONIGHT
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS WILL
DISCUSS TAXATION METHOD
THAT Is TO BE VOTED ON AT
NEXT CONVENTION AT RED
WING, MINI.

Fargo council will express it's views
tonight on the newly proposed taxa
ton method that will be decided at
the coming convention that is t. be
held at Red Wing, Mimi, next June.
This will be an important meeting this
evening and 1t is expected the attend
ance Will be unusually large.
All the phases of the new taxation
method, which had not been altogeth-
er popular until the visit of the grand
counselor here two weeks ago, were
explained by Mr.. Clarkson and it is
believed that it will carry tonight, and
that the delegates elected to go to
Red Wing will be instructed to vote
for the adoption of the measure.
1t is thought that the new PROPOSE
ton has grown particularly in favor
since the current rumor of the preca-
rious financial condition of one of
the large commercial travellers or
~ganizations in the east.
"A number Of other matters of i'm
portance will be brought UP this even
ing and there will be present a
large number of the boys who will be
in the city especially to spend Easter
with their families and friends.

NATIONAL
BAGGAGE BOARD
CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE
CREATION or THE NATIONAL
BAGGAGE COMMITTEE Elk
PLANNED BY ITS cHAIRANM, r.
w. cRANDALL.

In speaking of the causes which led
, to the creation of the national bag
gage committee F. w. Crandall, chair
man of the committee, says in The
Sample Gas: Early in the res the
wholesale interests of st. Louis were
disturbed by learning that for nearly
two years the railroads and the trunk
manufacturers had been negotiating
on the subject of limiting the size of
trunks. Why the railroads saw fit to
negotiate with the men who make he
trunks rather han with the men who
use and pay for them is a mystery,
ven al this late date. "
Naturally we who were hit by the
proposition to penaIize u trunks at
the rate Of ten pounds for each inch
excess Of 40 inches in dimension be-
gan to sit up and take notice. Then
a conference with the railroads was
asked and granted. Later, a meeting
Of all lines of shippers who carried
trunks was held in Chicago. The re-
suit of all Of these conferences was a
proposition On the part Of the rail-
roads to postpone the enforcement of
tho 40-inch rule until July, 1914-the
postponement of all limitations up to
July, 1912; a 45-inch rule to prevail
from July, 1912 to July, 1914. The
penalty in all cases to be ten pounds
for each inch in excess Of the limit.
The railroads in two associations,
the Trunk line and South Eastern,
have refused to join the other asso-
Citations on a 40-inch limit and now
stand in favor Of a 45-inch limit.
There is an old adage about letting
a sleeping dog alone. 1t is quite ap-
parent that, Notwithstanding the fact
that there are plenty Of capable men
in the railroad business, there are al
ways some n who insists on stirring
up the public-their patrons, in brief,
the sleeping dog.
This baggage business is a case in
point For years the users of sample
trunks have been grooming and fret
ting about the cost Of excess baggage.
1t seemed to them as though this item
grew larger and larger and as If all the
effort to curtail the expense only re-
suited in securing a higher rate.
The carriers maintained that though
they were charging express rates for
a service which was far less expensive
than the express service they were not
being adequately compensated for
their work. They begrudged they said
the necessity for carrying baggage at
all.
The shipper maintained that the
rate charged was too high and that
the requirements were too exacting.
Here, then, was a situation where two
parties who were obligated to deal
with each other, for the trunks must
be carried and the railroads must car
ry them, found themselves continually
disagreeing.
Obviously, this condition should not
be permitted to continue and since the
railroads and the shippers were unable
to agree in their conferences on what
were reasonable and equitable rates
and requirements, the logical course
was an appeal to the interstate COM
mercs commission to investigate con-
ditions. to pass upon the reasonable
ness Of the present practice and to
nominate the future policy.

to pay royalty of one-eighth of a cent

There is no doubt but that such
