The county commissioners are con-
-templating the purchase Of a rock
.crusher and have called for a meeting
of town supervisors to meet with them
in this city April /, at which time a
member Of the highway commission
will likely address them: This is a
move in the right direction. There is
little question but with one or more
crushers available for use by the coun-
ty and the several towns it will be one
of the best investments ever made by
the county. Tt means much toward the
building Of good roads if the farmers
will but appreciate it's possibilities.
They have the rock and with a portable
crusher road material can be secured
at minimum. The proposition should
be carried out.

POLITICAL LETTER

u
One of the features Of the present
Legislature which stands out moro
prominently than anything else is the
lack of team work between the house
and the senate. This is truer in a
marked degree than it was two years
ago when decidedly different factions
controlling the two bodies. The much
heralded working agreement between
the Rines and the Burnquist organiza.
tions has failed to materialize. It
has proved to be the stuff that dreams
are made Of. About twenty laws have
been enacted, some of them salary
grabs, since the session began. It IS
more than half over and not any i'm
portant Legislation has passed both
branches.
The two bodies seem to be working
along opposite lines. There is not the
slightest effort to shape legislation 90
% TO make for dispatch. Az usual

Notwithstanding the hard fight made
against the distance tariff bill by the
jobbing interests of the twin cities,
and some of the smaller towns which
have been receiving special favors
from the railroads, together with the
railroads themselves, it passed the
senate Wednesday by vote Of IS to
25. 1t is thought that on account Of
the excellent showing in the senate
that it will surely be passed in the
house. The bill was amended so that
it will not go into effect until Jan. 1,
1914. Congratulations should be ex-
tended to Senator eastman, who has
made hard and winning fight for the
bill. Petitions were sent from this city
favoring the bill and from Brainerd
opposing it. Senator johnson voted
for the bill two years ago, but at this
session his vote is recorded against it.

A petition is being circulated asking
the charter commission to submit the
proposition of a commission form of
government to the voters some time in
October. The petition must be signed
by five per cent Of the voters. There
is no doubt quite little dissatisfaction
with the present system Of city gov
eminent. It would be well, however,
to look into the workings Of this form
of government in cities about this size
and with conditions about the same.
Cities in which the plan is being work
ed seem to have much larger popu.
lation, although it has been stated
that there are municipalities of the size
of Little Falls where the commission
form has been success.

The Inauguration of President Wood
row Wilson Tuesday was fine affair,
viewed by thousands. The address Of
the president was one of lofty ideals
as was to be expected. It is at once
seen that he appreciates the position
that his countrymen have seen fit to
bestow upon him, and it is well that
he does. as much will be expected of
him. With a democratic senate and
house the whole machinery Of the gov.
eminent goes out Of the hands Of the
republican party, although the ma
-jority in the senate is not large. Those
who have been faithful followers Of
w. J. Bryan, are pleased that he
occupies the premiership in President
Wilson's cabinet. A special session
