IMPORTANT RATE SUIT
Hono Prairie Leader.l


A suit of far reaching Importance
to the people Of Minnesota has been
begun by The Northern Adjustment
Bureau Of Minnesota, against the 500
Railway Co. The suit is test suit to
determine whether law suits to collect
freight rebates must be instituted and
conducted by the Attorney General as
prescribed in an act passed in 1909.
UnGer that law all such suits have to
be placed in the hands of the -Attor-
ney General. This is all very well up
to certain point but there are a
number of thousand such suits and to
dcp.nd upon the Attorney General 8
cfl:cr to test them out would tie up the
litigation for years anu years. If the
Northern Adjustment Bureau wins its
suit, it will without doubt mean that
the thousands Of claims now pen ling
for freight rebates Will be settled much
mere speedily. Under conditions as
they are at present the endless delays
ahead of the shipper who wants to get
what is coming to him deter him from
actor and as a result the railload
companies stand to retain large sums
Of money which rightfully belong to
the people.
This test suit W.T. ch they have in
stituted is one in which every Mime
sofa shipper is interested. They intend
to carry it to the United States Su-
pr&me Court in order to make their
y1ctcry of permanent value.

ed with Ia price as the wars in a. dry
goods store, Yet thousands Of citizens
Who would not think of asking a mer-
chart to give them SO much as a neck.
tie have no compullvJlOn IN asking
by !. newspaper. The thought does not
even enter their heads that every inch
Of space so given in addition to pro-
viding them with the most valuable
kind of service actually cost the news
paper in editorial labor, in compost
tion, in metal, in ink, in stereotyping,
in printing, ETC., sums of money.
The Free Press like every other Mil
waukee paper, is liberal in giving it's
space to further the, cause Of philan-
thropic and public and other institu-
tions, enterprises and causes where the
object is non commercial and conduc-
tive to the public welfare.
In return it expects only apprecia-
|tior-a appreciation of the fact that the
press is giving its most costly commod-
|ity, service so valuable that the ben
ehc:aries could not afford to buy it and
without which their institution, enter
prise or cause could not exist, service
which is always made at sacrifice to
the news columns and at an actual
|expense.
II expects recognition Of the fact
that while halls, theatres and other
public places, bill posters and all the
other service enlisted in these causes
dc1nand compensation with but few
exceptions, it is the newspaper that
gives its wares free for the sake Of
tho public good. ~
Yet in the vast majority Of cases
tLis generous service is blissfully taken
for granted and the papers liberality
abused. That which is purely a favor
is accepted as matter Of course, and
what would be requested are corched as
demands.
When the courtesy has been per-
formed there is rarely appreciation, and
more often dissatisfaction - generally
silence.
The result in many other cities has
been that price has been put upon
every kind Of publicity, no matter
what it's object - even upon church
notices. In those cities we warrant,
such favors as the press bestows are
properly valued.

opening Of the Red v Cross Christmasss

every community which has herecofore
shown interest in this great wofk Is
again enlisted in the cause viii, We
believe, renewed vigor. Also several
communities conm n which have not in tle past
been included in this work have realix-
ed the great Importance Of this move. ls

so,iation for Red Cross Seal. 81.
The people of Minnesota can &C last
point with pride to- definite resu:ts
obtained from their former labors.
They now have the nse OF ono hale
million dollars which was appropriated
by the recent legislature to Si,ab.e
them to provide county institutions fer
the care Of those suffering frosa jtuber-
culosis. It should be Of great sa.isfac-
tion to those who have lahore eo com

the earnest request Of this association
that these workers take renewed IN
terest in this educational campaign
which is now going on throu9hsus Jhe
state, which will mean the pointinR
out of LEGAL needs in each counsy Il
reference to the Establishment of hos.
pitfalls for the tubercular. The state
legislature has done its part freely and
well and it now rests largely upon
the energetic work by those who have
local influence to show to the, county
officials the needs Of those saEering
from tuberculosis under their jgrisdic-
tion. Great encouragement has
already been given you BY the rapid
iry with which the counties have taken
definite action in regard to institutions
up to the present time. IA 5
1t is a pleasure to report appropr-
atlOns made by eighteen counties for
the establishment of hospitals fer these
sufferers. In view Of what has already
been done SO successfully and the ease
with which more can be accomplished
in every community, we earnestly re-
qest not only those who have u the
past shown interest, but those who have
perhaps felt it was useless to devote
time and energy to again enter this
great educational work which is in
Guiding the entire state. Let us how
by the success Of this years Red Cross
Seal sales we do appreciate the appro-
p1iation made by the legislature and
show that each community is willing
and ready to do its part.
Should this letter appear in COM
munity not at this time assigned to an
agent for the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals, those who are interested in
this work should Immediately select
someone to act as agent and request
him to write at once to the State as

The Minneapolis Journal says that
Fred King of Grand Rapids will sue
ceed e. B. Wood Of Long Fra1rie as
receiver of the Cass Lake land Office,
that there was quite a contest, but
that F. B. Lynch and Martin O 'Rrien
agreed on King, who must not he con-
founded with G. M. King Of Deer
River. It is refreshing to know who
constitute the democratic party in Min
nesota, but really it takes more than
two votes to carry an election. There
were democrats in Cass Lake, among
them Frank Gorenfo, who thought at
least one of the land office jobs should
be filed by a Cass Lake man. The
national committeeman, however,
thought the honor or having the land
office located in Cass Lake was
enough for the Cass Lake democrats.
Honor IL great, but we doubt that any
Cass Lake merchant would re :eive
it in exchange for groceries. If this
doctrine is good, it ought to be also
gocn at Duluth, and we shall expect
to see some outsider appointed. coIlec-
tor at Duluth, rather than Harris Ben.
nett. whose Duluth lauors aIong many
lines doubtless merit recognition.

people can go to the state fair, which
has became more Of Ct nuge entertain

not that to the credit of ttle men, who
having things entirely IN their own

care for the women that men bear the

to do with the penal code. We are
inclined to think, however without re-
