Improve on Seven Sisters Bill

/
The single tangible decision the
preside has reached from these con.
ferenCcs is net to ask congress to
enact into q national statute the "scy-
en- sisters bill which, at the instance
of Mr. Wilson, at the time governor
of New Jersey were passed by the
Legislature of that state. This deci-|
sion was due to the discovery by the
presden' that TO a large extent the
provisions of the bills are already inI
corporattd in the sherman law.

play in business.
1t Is certain he ylll ask that inter
locking directorates be prohibited
This, however, is OF minor import
ance in comparison with the greater
question to be solved. During the
campaign the president expressed EN-
phatic opposition to the progressive
plan ofan industrial commission, charg.
ed with the supervision of great cor
porai iions, and yet he is thinking
about the advisability of a trade
commission, which shall tell inter
state corporations what to do, and If
they fail to fall in line, then TO have
the attorney general institute legal
proceedings
Anxious for Immediate Solution.
President Wilson is anxious. it is
said to get final solution of this
important question. 1t is known he
has obtained a summary of the deci-
sions of the United States supreme
court on the Sherman law; of the
corporations law of the various states,
and of the numerous bills relating to
the matter which are pending in the
nresont congress or were introduced
in past congresses.
In his annual message he explained
"that it is subject so many-sided
and so deserving of careful and dis
eliminating discussion that shall

Three South Dakota papers, the
Sioux Falls Press. Aberdeen Ameri-

published statements during the cam
paign attacking the character of Mr..

Mr.. Egan came out second high in
the race for the Republican nomina-

against the three papers for $50, 600

broad apology in which all of the
statements printed in it's columns
were retracted and apologized for.
The Sioux Falls Press and Public

track across the state of Iowa, ex-
tending from the Mississippi River to
Council Bluffs. Nearly two thirds of
this will be In operation at the end Of
this year. The balance will be com
| pleted in 1914. This Improvement
alone cost over SIS, 100000. The
work is preparatory to the general
scheme to improve the California
train service and secure the liop's
share of the increase in travel to the
San Francisco exposition.
According to G. f. Loweth, Chief
Engineer Of the Milwaukee system.
similar work to that in Iowa is under
way from Minneapolis to Aberdeen.
Grade curyatures will be reduced and
the line double tracked for distance
of 26O miles. More than half of this
line will be in operation before the
first of the year. The cost of this
improvement when completed will
amount to $40, zoo, 10000,
A number of railroad crossings in
Chicago and through Iowa and Min
nesota where the new track is being
laid have been abolished. Special at
tention has been given to the elimina-
tion of grade crossings. One hundred
and ten have been closed in the two
states by taking the highways either
over or under the tracks. Automatic
signals and interlocking plants haye
been installed on the system. The
voluntary adoption of these measures
of safety manifests public spirit
that is commendable.
The most notable project on which
the road is working is the construc-
tion of the Snoqualmie tunnel through
the Cascade mountains. The tunnel
is oyer two miles in length and it is
estimated will cost close to two mil
lion dollars. 1t is being rapidly COM
pleted for the use of Seattle trains.
When the tunnel is put in operation
the company will be relieved of the
expense and delay in keeping the line
through Snoqualmie Pass free from
snow.

MASS MEETINGS

Question, w. H. .Baddeley, Jas. G..
Myers, A. ID. Fletcher, Jay Robar, +.
G. Fischer. &. E. Sumner. w. E..
Lounsbury, and G. E. Coyne. The
call for the mass meetings of the ma
jority and minority factions of the
democratic party is signed by F. b.
Davis, William Hayes, F. j. McGraw,
r. s. Rowe, w. H. Frost, Frank o.
Reilly, G. w. Robertson and F. r.
Strain. The call for the meeting Of
the affiliants of the minority faction
of the republican party, which is sign
ed by Alvin Waggoner, E. F. Walden
and J. ID. Rainey, will be published
this week.
The calls set forth the purposes of
the meetings to be the selection tf
the first representatives for the co un-
ty and state proposal committees.
This paper recognizes the necessity
for the meetings, for in that manner
only can we secure the representa-
ton in the state meetings. But we
hope that those in control at these
mass meetings will see to it that the
county is not burdened with the cost
OF the three of four county proposal
committee meetings. IL would be an
unnecessary expense, inasmuch as
practically all those now known to be
candidates for county and Legislative
Offices seem willing to place their
names in the independent columns of
the two parties. The county has
seyenty-eight voting precincts and
with at least three men from each
precinct attending the two necessary
meetings of each committee, and
drawing mileage from the county, the
expense will average fifty miles for
each. They are entitled to 1oc for
each mile travelled in going to and
from the county seat, and bills ag-
gregating nearly $1,000 would have to
be allowed by the county commits
sioners.
The Review suggests that each mass
meeting. after selecting their state
representatives, should consider
resolution to the effect that it was the
sense of the meetings that it was un-
necessary to name the members of
the county proposal committees, and
that each candidate for county aud
legislative offices should file petitions
for Independent nominations. In TAX
ing such action that will show that
they have truly at heart the interests
OF the taxpayers of the county.
