This announcement came like a bomb

Congress who appreciated the existence
of a governmental agency that had the
powers suggested by the majority leader.
The manufacturers of the nation had no
idea that it was possible for the federal
government to dig into their innermost
trade secrets in this way and determine
whether or not their declarations were
based on fact.

ask you for information. 1t would be
necessary not only to learn what is done
but what ought to be DONE for we should
think 1t more important to point to bet
ones. We should probably not accept as
conclusive the statement of wages paid
as compared with the total cost OF the
goods The question would be asked as
to whether the condition need exist as 1t
Is or no.
I'VE should have to examine, into all
the classes of labor and into the various
operations to see whether and how far
any Of them were in any one plant on a
better basis than in another The spirit
Of the inquiry would be, the public is
entitled to efficiency An inefficient in
dustry manufactures q given article at
a greater cost than an efficient one If
it is to be protected in its profits the
public is taxed for that ineficiency.
My business Judgment would not APP
prove nor do / believe that public opin-
ion would permit the taxing of the peo-
pie to maintain industries less efficient
than the best. There need be no fric-
ton about this II the industry is on a
scientific basis what could better adver-
tise 1t than to have the facts made plain
by impartial investigation? But has an
inefficient industry right to make up
for that inefficiency by reducing the
wages Of it's workmen?'
A little earlier than this representa-
tives of the pottery industry conferred
about East Liverpool. Ohio had appeared
before the committee of ways and means
OF the House and had made a plea that
the industry could not stand a reduction
Of the tariff. Accustomed to such claims
the committee refused to accept this one.
The industry suggested that it be in
vestigated by the government to ascer-
tain whether it's statements were correct
The government accepted the invitation
and Just now a very thorough inquiry Is
being made.

HOSE four consecutive victories
over the worlds champions last
week were life-savers as far as
the enthusiasm of the score
board fans was concerned. They
had been waiting for many a dreary day
to see Washington wallop the life out OF
some other team. The manner in which
the Athletics walked over the local team
had the fans all knocked to pieces.
There was little English gentleman.
a, mild-mannered quiet-speaking little
man, who was among the early visitors
at the Monday game. He watched the
proceedings carefully making notes every
little while in little book which he car
ried in a side pocket.
Il don't see," he complained. why it's
necessary to put up all those beastly
naughts' innings. Why not wait until
something is done?"
That's what's called suspense ex-
planned somebody.
Waste of time, l call it," said the lit
tie Englshman.
The game went on as games will until
the final act was almost at hand Joe
Wood was pitching wonderful ball, and 1t
looked as if the Nationals were doomed
to lose by a 1-to-O score. Then came a
rally.
Up to this time the crowd had gaZed
with mild contempt Oil the little English
man and his notebook. His hand-clapping
was allowed to pass without comment,
but there was a distinct "he s-no- one Of
US attitude on the part of the throng.

his expression indicated a clear desire on
his part to partake of hearty meal of

The game rolled along on the even
tenor of it's way until the eleventh in

OPEN UP RIVER TRAFFIC
Wholesalers of st. Paul and MinneapO-
lis Will Operate on the MISSISSIPPI
pi to Gain Trade.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 27.-Wholesalers In
nearly every line of trade in the Twin
Cities today set on foot plans looking
towards the handling of a great amount
Of freight by line of boats operating
between here and the Gulf of Mexico.
A river terminal costing half a million
dollars is already under construction
under the Washington avenue bridge
in Minneapolis and it has been predict
ed that the big business interests of
the two cities will be operating boats
to New Orleans by the middle of next
summer.
The primary object Of the enterprise
is to force down the railroad freight
rates against which the local whole
salers have lodged countless COM
plants. The new rate between Duluth
and the Twin Cities make speedy action
of jobbers a necessity and it is be-
lieved that river transportation is the
solution of the problem.
Another incentive behind the pro-
posed river freight line, is the opening
Of the Panama canal. New Orleans is
destined to become the receiving point
for an enormous mass of merchandise
and river line here and between that
,ity would be of enormous value.

TAXES DELINQUENT JANUARY 9TH
Only One More Week Remains in
Which Taxes on Real Property
Can be Paid.

| Only one more week remains in
which 1913 taxes on real property can
be paid, the first Monday in January
being the date on which all unpaid
taxes become delinquent. Under the
new revenue law it is not required that
delinquent taxes be advertised as for
merly.
After the time during which they
can be paid has expired a delinquency
certificate will be issued against the
property and it will be sold according
to law. The owner of the property is
then given two years from the sec
ond Monday in January in which to
redeem from the tax sale.
If the property is not redeemed be-
fore the expiration Of the two-year pc
riod the sale is treated as mortgage
and foreclosure proceedings are in
stigated against it. The owner then
has a year in which to redeem the
property from the mortgage sale.

TAX COMMISSION RULINGS
Hands Down Opinions i'm Northern Pa
cific Cases in Bonner and NeZ
Perce Counties.

BOISE. Dec. 27-The state tax COM
mission has decided the two cases on
which it recently conducted hearings
and wherein the Northern Pacific Rail
road company appeared as plaintiff,
alleging double taxation, for in noti-
tcations that have been sent this rail-
road and the officials of Bonner and
Nez Perce counties the commission
holds that the ice owned by the road
and assessed and taxed in Bonner
county should be classed as operating
property and should not have been as
sessed by the county assessor.
In the Nez Perce county case the
commission divided its ruling, holding
for the county for the assessment of
the larger percentage of the property
alleged to have been doubly assessed
by the railroad and for the railroad in
the assessment of the smaller amount
The commission findings are in brief
as follows: That the narrow strip of
land lying between the railroad tracks
ana river used for the protection of
tracks from the encroachment of the
river is in reality riparian land and
should be classed as operating prop
erty and not assessed by the county
assessor; that two lots covered by
tracks and a turn-table and three lots
on which the railroad has its stock
ing property and should not be as
sessed by the assessor and that all of
the other land involved is subject to
local taxation and should be assessed
and taxed by the county
Next year it is conceded by the
commission, the county officials and
he railroad all of the land involved,
will be classified as operating property.
