performed inestimable service for the
people of that state in improving serv-
ice, lowering rates, and establishing
uniformity in accounting and opera
ton.
| Practically every state which in re-
| cent years has established public
| utilities commission has followed the
Wisconsin plan and provided for an
| appointive commission. Minnesota
formerly had an appointive railroad
and warehouse commission. When
| Governor Lind was elected, the Repub-
1ican legislature did not want him to
| appoint the members of this COM
mission, and for that reason made
the commission elective. The Repub-
lican leaders in the legislature, who
succeeded in securing the passage of
this law, acted not in the interest Of
better service, but purely for politi-
cal expediency, in the hope that the
commission would select employees of
the Republican faith only and thus
strengthen the forces of the Repub-
l1can organization. True, Minnesota
has been fortunate in the election of
good men on the railroad and ware
house commission, but that fact does
not right the wrong nor justify its
continuance. Under the appointive
system, where the commissioners are
appointed for long period, the gov
ernor cannot change the entire board
except for proper cause shown upon
public hearing. This method insures
more stability and better service, be-
cause the commission can devote all

CERTAIN OF
TARIFF BILL

That the United States government
officials are confident that the wilson |
tariff bill will soon pass the House OF
Representatives and become a law, Is
shown by the following communioa-
ton which the local customs office
has received from the United States
treasury department:
Treasury Department,
September Is, 1913.
To collectors and other officers of the
customs:
The department will promptly ad-
wise you by telegram when the new
tariff act becomes operative. You
will. however, continue to assess
estimated duties on imported merchan-
disc at the rates provided for under
the tariff act Of August s. 1903. but
will suspend liquidation of the entries
until receipt of the official copy of the
new tariff act, which will be forward
ed to you by this department at the
earliest practicable moment and
upon receipt thereof the entries should
be finally liquilated at the rates pro-
vided for under the new act.
When the act becomes operative the
department will issue instructions
continuing existing regulations wher-
such further regulations as may be
required.
In case of doubt as to the proper
construction to be given to any oi
the provisions, of the new tariff act
or as to the proceedings to be fol.
lowed Hereunder. collectors should
request the instructions of the depart
ment, in order that uniformity OF
action may be secured in the admins
tration of that act at the various
ports.
