Now, should the Iowa law be paced
upon our statute books, we have 8 right
to expect that the Minnesota commits
sion will be as fair to the shippers and
receivers, as well as the railroads, as
were the Iowa commission when they
named the rates in the latter state.
The only way that Mr.. Sheehan can
figure out that the rates will be raised
to the country shipper is that he ex-
poets the railroad commission to per-
NIT the railroads to dictate what the
rates will be, and I am satisfied that
the companies will ba given no such
opportunity. No commission, would
dare do such thing in the face Of the
public sentiment that has been aroused.
About the Amendments
ttMr. Beck calls our attention to tho
fact that I had made some changes IN
the bill since 1911 and therefore at
tempted to throw himself ~ bouquet
for having brought these about. !
want to say to Mr.. Beck that thus
amendment would have been made two
years ago if the twin city :jobber had
not shown much persistence in having
it placed there. visited the Iowa com
mission a short time before introducing
the bill in 1909 and learned that this
advisable. t came back with full in
tentions Of making the change, but
when I found the jobbers and railroads
were so insistent I became afraid, as
I am always afraid of Greeks bearing
gifts, and it took me two years to con-
vince myself thoroughly that this could
be brought about without harm to the
bill and perhaps with some good there.
to. The Importance of distance tariff
measure stated in general terms is to
permit the state to adjust its commerce
to natural conditions, thereby inducing
more uniform and economic develop
ment Of the country.
"That is the natural way to conserve
natural resources. It would put an end
to discrimination against person or To-
cality. It would mean that the pro-
duction of raw material and it's manu-
facture into the finished products
would have closer relation to the nat
ural physical conditions and that habi-
tation would be largely fixed by the
natural relation of things. In other
words, habitation would follow the law
of natural production and consumption
and would take place nearest to pro-
duction.
"That is a principle to which prac-
tice will adjust, no habitation should
be compelled to adjust itself to rail
way discrimination and that discrimi-
nation is based on arbitrary and selfish
rules. Therefore our population does
mot adjust itself to natural conditions
and we are wasting our resources to
maintain this forced condition. The
railway rate system is responsible. The
whole system of railway discrimina:
ton has disarranged the country and
some places have been built up out Of
harmony with natural conditions. Pro
duction and consumption have been
studiously and methodically separated
as far as possible by what seems to be
a general design to give railways sew
eral times more transportation than
they would have under natural condi-
tions. Production anu consumption
would be natural neighbors if the rail-
ways did not separate them by dis
| elimination for the purpose of getting
longer hauls and more business. -

MEXICO CITY is 1901 ATED
Rigorous Censorship Limits News
From Capital.

tNs8SsS~O SSssOSS Osb r @svuskO 1NSw0
From Capital.
Washington, Feb. 18.-Mexico City
Is virtually cut OF from the outside
world by the imposition Of an iron
censorship.
With no direct news dispatches from
there and only one official dispatch
from Ambassador Wilson, which sim.
ply said fighting had been resumed and
that the armistice had been broken,
President Taft and officials waited in
suspense.
The first dispatches of the early day
filtered down from Mexico City to
Vera Cruz and said hostilities were
resumed.
Madero telegraphed close friends in
Washington that he expected definite
results very soon." These dispatches
came through promptly. The Mexican
embassy declared no dispatches what.
ever had been received there and that
It was depending upon press dis.
patches for it's confirmation of the
fighting in Mexico City.
President Taft's reply to Madero's
appeal for nonintervention went for
ward by telegraph and was given out
In Washington by Secretary Knox.
Transports Are Needed.
The army has gone as far as it can
under present arrangements for a pos
eible troop movement to Mexico. The
plan to send an expeditionary force
from Galveston has been confronted
with some difficulties in securing mer
chant ships. The quartermaster gen
eral has an opportunity to get some
cattle ships, but it would take week
to fit them out. It may be finally de-
cided to send some of the transports
at Newport News around to Calves
ton.
Ambassador Wilson telegraphed tc
the state department at II a. m. Feb
16, that the armistice that had been
arranged the previous night was still
in force and that there was great &C
uvity in removing foreigners from The
danger zone and arranging for the
transporting Of many women and chill
dren to the United States.
Reports indicated that losses on thu
Diaz side had not been great and
their lines had been extended in ONT
direction beyond the palace Of thu
ministry of Gobernacion, which the,
had taken and in the other direction
O. far as the German school.
Cuernavaca is reported taken b,
Zapatistas.
The president of the National rail
way has reported to the ambassador
that the Laredo line north Of Montero!
Is in the hands of the rebels.

Defeated BY A TIE VOTE
County Option Fails Of Passage In
Minnesota House.

County Option Fails Of Passage In
Minnesota House..
County option lost in the lower house
Of the legislature by a tie vote of 50
to SO. If two of the members, who
were absent on account of illness, had
been in the house the vote would have
been 81 against 81. Albert Pfaender
of New Ulm and W.. H. Westcott of
West st. Paul, the absentees, are both
opposed to county option.
> A call of the house brought into the
chamber every member except the
two who. we're i'll. There was a field
day of oratory before the vote was
taken. w. j.. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson
and other national leaders were quot
ed for or against the bill.

It is more than ever apparent that
the public utilities bill is dangerous to
publicly owned utilities. We see no
reason whatever why the state should
interfere with the operation Of a
utility owned and operated by a
municipality, or put obstacles in the
way of city or village owning or con.
trolling such utility. It looks like an
under handed scheme by which the
Twin City Rapid Transit company
wants to get away from the jurisdic-
ton Of the people Of St. Paul and Min
neapolis. Of course all similar concerns
are agreeable. A public utilities com"
mission. as tribunal Of appeal from
Germ may be Of value as safeguard
for the citizens, but no such tribunal
is needed to tell cities how to run the
enterprises they themselves own and
control.

The names of the cabinet Officers
will not be known, it is said, till March
-4th. If the various speeches and
articles Of the president-elect mean
anything, and we believe they do, the
cabinet will be a progressive one. If
Bryan is in it, that will make it a
certainty.
