STILL VOTING WRONG

We notice our congressman con.
tinues to vote wrong on all matters
coming up in congress. He voted
against the resolution to sustain the
president in the Mexican trouble and
also against the bill to repeal the
mileage graft for congressman. This
old law allowed each congressman
20 cents mile both going and COM
ing from Washington. 1t Is one OF the
oldest gratis in congress and many
efforts have been made to repeal 1t.
but such men as Woods have been able
to prevent repeal until last week
when new law was put through the
house and will probably pass the
senate, allowing pay for the actual
expense OF the trips. Woods does not
seem to give d what the people
think Of such matters.-Manson Jour

Der to whom this car is consigned be
a man, first, of unquestioned hon
esty, and second, of unquestioned
financial standing. 1t is not at all dill
ticult for any individual, Whose
reputation for honesty and fair deal
ing is of the best, and whose finan-
cial standing is satisfactory-to Sc
cure admission to the Chamber of
Commerce. In fact, the membership
is constantly changing, and these
changes amount to about fifteen per
cent of the total number each year.
Certain individuals have endeayor-
ed to create the false impression that
farmers or farmers elevator COM
panies would find it difficult to Sc
cure admission to the Chamber of
Commerce. This statement is alb
solutely false. A farmers elevator
company of North Dakota has been
member of the Chamber of Com
MERGE for many years, and there are
hundreds of officers of farmers eleva-
tor companies throughout the North
west who would be welcomed as
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, and who would reflect credit
upon the organization.
Precisely the same inquiries would
be made of a farmers elevator COM
pany as of any other applicant; that
is, it would simply be necessary to
show that those connected with the
company were men of unquestioned
honesty and integrity, and that the
concern was sound financially.
Memberships are easily secured.
and are being bought and sold con-
stantly.
Commission Merchants.
Among the most important classes
of members of the Chamber of Com
merce of Minneapolis are the COM
mission merchants. These indivi-
duals are thoroughly familiar with
the grain business, and are able to
deal on equal terms with the buying
interests, and in every manner pro-
tect the interests of the country ship
per.
In addition, these commission mer-
chants Keep the country shipper very
fully advised regarding the market
conditions and since it is to their in
terest to secure the highest possible
price for the grain consigned to them
for sale, the keenest competition ex-
lists between them in selling the
grain of their customers to the best
possible advantage.
Buying interests.
Among the buying interests in the
Chamber of Commerce are the repre-
sentatives of the large flour mills, To-
Gated at Minneapolis, and also buyers
for country mills, located at points
in Wisconsin and Minnesota adjacent
to Minneapolis. In addition to these,
there are the buyers for the large
terminal elevator companies, who
buy grain for storage purposes: also
the buyers for terminal elevators en-
gagged mainly in the mixing business;
or, elevators engaged in the shipping
business, providing New England
and the Eastern States with their re-
quirements of wheat. oats, flour, bar
ley, etc. There are also buyers for
the mailing houses located at Mime
apolis and elsewhere. A number of
crushers are also located at
making it one of the

Irish Standard by John G. McHugh,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, Minneapolis, Mimi
1t is popularity supposed that an
organization such as the Minneapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce is sort
of private organization existing for
the sole purpose of exploiting the
producer who in the course of bust
ness comes in contact with it in his
business relations with this associa-
ton. To dispel such erroneous ideas
it is only necessary to call attention
to the fact that the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce was created
under and by an enactment of the
state legislature. The legislators of
the state of Minnesota saw the nee
essity of some organization that
would keep in touch with the growth
and organize a market for the pur-
pose of caring for the grain business
of the great Northwest and in their
wisdom provided for such an organi-
cation as the present organization
has grown to be.
The systematic development of
this association and the manner in
which it's branches have reached out
to every community in the great
grain-grOwing section of the country
popularity known as the "granary of
the world" reflects the energy and
zeal of the commercial spirit of Min
neapOlis and the marvellous growth
of the energy and activities repre-
sented in every line of business
which radiates from the great COM
mercial centers of the Northwest,
Minneapolis and St. Paul. Not only
is this energy manifested in the
Chamber of Commerce but it has
shown itself in every important line
of business activity conferred in the
Twin Cities. The work of the
Chamber of Commerce has kept pace
with the work of every other bust
ness organization represented in
Minneapolis. To the Chamber of
Commerce is due the credit for hav-
ing established this city as the mill
ing center of the country and
through it's activities Minneapolis has
become to be we'll and favorably
known as the Flour City of the coun-
try.
Formation, Development and Eco
nomic Functions of Grain
Exchanges.
The statute of Minnesota under
which the Chamber of Commerce was
organized reads as follows:
Sec. 2982. Formation-For What
Purposes.
That any number of persons, not
less than three, in any organized
city, village, town or county in this
state, may associate themselves and
become incorporated as either a
chamber of commerce or board of
trade. or both, for the purpose of ad-
vancing the commercial, mercantile,
manufacturing or agricultural inter-
ests of such city, village, town or
county; for acquiring, possessing and
disseminating useful business infor-
nation; and for adjusting the con-
tr0versies and MISUNDERSTANDING
which may arise between individuals
engaged in trade and business; and
for promoting the general prosperity
of the locality of such organization.
Sec. 2893. Powers.

ton to it's ordinary powers, viz:
Arbitration.
First, Said corporation may consti-
tute and appoint committees of refer
ence and arbitration, and committees
of board of appeal, who shall be gov
erned by such rules, bylaws and
regulations as may be prescribed by
said corporation, for the settlement
of such matters of difference as may
be voluntarily submitted for arbitra-
ton, by members of said corporation,
or by other persons not members
thereof. The acting chairman or
either of said committees or boards.
when sitting as arbitrators, may adj
minister oaths to the parties and wit
nesses, and, upon request of any
party to such arbitration, any clerk
OF any court of record, on payment
of his fees therefor, shall issue, sub
poenas for the attendance of witness
es and production of papers before
said committees, and the same may
be served and obedience thereto en-
forced in like manner as process re-
quiring attendance before the court
issuing the same.
The statute goes on to provide for
the manner in which the hearings
shall take place before the Board of
Arbitration, and also provides that
the decision of the Board of A1oitra-
ton may be filed with the clerk of
the District Court, and judgment en-
tered thereon.
The Statute further provides as
follows:
Fourth, Said corporation may in
fiict fines upon any of it's members,
and collect the same, for breach of
it's rules, regulations or bylaws. Said
fines may be collected by action of
debt before justice of the peace, or
in any court of record having juris-
diction of the amount of the fine, in
the name of the corporation, or by
temporary suspension or permanent
removal from the membership, or re-
moval from office therein.
The Statute also authorizes these
associations to hold property for the
use of the association. 1t further pro-
vides as follows:
1t may prescribe the terms and
conditions of it's membership, the
mode of admission of members, the
number and mode of election of it's
officers, the appointment of it's
agents and employees, and their
functions and duties, and generally
as to the management and transac-
tion of it's business and affairs either
by bylaws or resolutions and when
the business of the corporation is
managed by or through board of
directors or other body, such board
or body shall be considered as vested
with, and may exercise all the DOW
ers of the corporation and such
board of directors or other body.
whenever by it deemed necessary,
may raise money for the purposes of
the corporation by assessments upon
the members thereof; and the paw
ment of such assessments may be en-
forced by a sale or forfeiture of the
of any member failing
10 pay the same, in such manner as
the bylaws or rules may provide.

neapolis was organized under the

ege upon the members of this or

Rules and Regulations.
Owing to the enormous volume of
business which is transacted by the
members of grain exchange, it be-
comes very important that this BUSH
ness shall be transacted in proper
manner, and it is therefore necessary
that rules and regulations be provid-
ed which shall result in establishing
and maintaining uniformity in COM
mercial usages, as provided by the
statute, and as far as possible safe
guarding the interests of all those
connected, directly or indirectly,
with the buying and selling of grain.
A modern grain exchange, such as
the Chamber of Commerce, is there
fore simply an organized market
place. The exchange, such as the
chamber of Commerce, is not organ
lied for the making of money. and
does not fix prices or buy or sell
grain as an organized body 1t is
merely instrumental in affording
convenient market place, and regu-
lating trade, and disciplining the
conduct of it's members. Its members
act on their own responsibility. They
may do as much business as they
like, provided they conform to the
standards, which the rules of the ex-
change prescribe for the regulation
of the trade.
The Chamber of Commerce of
Minneapolis, therefore, like church
corporations, or fraternal societies. is
voluntary association, in the form
of a private corporation.
Membership.
The membership of the Chamber
OF Commerce of Minneapolis is limit
ed to $50. This gives the member
ship privilege a certain value. and bv
virtue of the fact that the memb err
ship privilege is valuable, makes it
comparatively easy for the Board of
Directors to secure obedience to the
rules of the organization, on account
of the fear of suspension or ex.ul-
sion in case of violation of the rules.
In those grain exchanges where
membership is unlimited, or exceed
lngly large, memberships have COM
paratively little value, and as con-
sequence it is much more difficult to
secure strict compliance with the
rules and regulations on the part of
the members. There has been some
criticism of the fact that applicants
for membership in the Chamber of
Commerce must first be approved by
the membership committee and by
the Board of Directors. A moments
consideration should show how i'm
portant this is to the shippers in the
Northwest such as farmers elevator
companies.
When farmer, or farmers eleva-
tor company, consigns a car of flax
worth possibly $1,000 or $4,000 to a
member of the Chamber of Com
merce to be sold on commission, it is
important that the mem

GRAFT

Graft is always built on the viola
ton of law. First, somebody must
violate or want to violate the law.
No man pays to obey the law. For
illustration, Tammany controlled the
machinery of government. 1t con-
trolled the police department of New
York. 1t controlled the courts.
Therefore Tammany could, if those
who wanted to violate the law would
pay the price, wink at such violation.
And Tammany winked. Every month
Tammany collected the price from
criminals. Tammany grated. Tam
many was not content to levy tribute
on crime, on prostitution, on gamb-
ling. Tammany levied tribute on le-
gitimate business. 1t sold public
business to those who paid the most
for it. Street paving contracts and
water works and franchises and city
and county supplies went to those who
paid tribute to Tammany. The price
was always high enough to pay Tam
many. And the people were skinned
and robbed. Tammany bought news
papers with city and county printing.
Tammany made it pay editors to de-
fend Tammany, and there were plen-
ty of papers to do the bidding of
Tammany. When Tammany grated
the Tammany papers defended Tam
many. These papers could always
find an excuse for Tammany, just as
some smaller papers in smaller places
find excuse for extravaganza and
graft when it pays these papers to
perpetuate graft and extravaganza.
The Blake gang here in Clearwater
county made it pay the Orofino Trib-
une to defend the gang, and the Trib-
une today is living on the spoils de-
livered by the gang members of a
gang county board. The Tribune
gets ten cents line for county work
and the Republican offered to do it
for three cents a line. The Tribune
got this from Frank Zelenka and Ell
mer Torgerson. The Tribune is sup
porting Frank Zelenka for reelection
and Frank Zelenka will again vote
| for the Tribune.
The Republican is asking the peo-
pie to vote for three men for county
commissioner who will NOT skin the
people to support republican organ
that will support and defend the re-
publican county board regardless Of
what the republican board does. The
Clearwater Republican is supporting
men for county commissioner who
will make the peoples dollar go just
as far as would their private dollars.
But that is not the Tammany system.
This is the issue in this county
today. The democrats are supporting
the Tammany system; the republic
cans are opposed to it. 1t is up to
the citizens to accept or reject Tam
many methods in Clearwater county.

WHAT EDITORS KNOW.

IA good many editors are said not
to know much," says an exchange.
1.-THE trouble is they know lot Of
stuff that they dare not tell. They
know who drinks, and the boys who
smoke in alleys and dark places, and
the girls who are out riding till the
ROSTERS crow for daylight. They
know the fellows that are good to pay
and they know the fellow who can 7
get trusted for tobacco sack of salt.
They can guess at once why some fell
lows are as they are and they can
guess closely what they do to make
themselves SO. They know enough
to make one of the red-hottest, riE
snorting, high geared, triple action,
chain-lightning editions you have ever
read, but they also know it is best fol
the community and themselves to let
the law take care of humanity's de-
velopment and publish only such news
as will do to read in the home. Edi-
tors generally pursue this policy and
thereby live longer and get more en-
joyment out Of life."

WHY?
Zelenka
Commissioner

County Commissioner Zelenka
might explain why
It cost him $50 more to make the
trip to Boise than it did the county
assessor, who stayed two days longer.
Why he failed to itemize his ex-
pense account for that trip.
Why he sold material to the county
in violation of law.
Why he did not insist on competi-
ton in the buying of road culvert in
stead of giving the business to Beale
& Co. at their own price.
Why he refuse to open the cruise
to bids.
Why he give the county printing to
a paper at ten cents line when the
county could get the work for three
cents a line. These are honest ques-
tions and are entitled to an honest
answer.
When he gets these answered he
might explain why he stands for a
deputy sheriff at Elk River, at an
expense to the people of 800 month
and expenses, when the records show
that the deputy is as useless and
needless as fifth wheel on a wagon
under existing conditions.
Why he was party to the deal
whereby Pat Blake was imposed on
the people of Clearwater county as
county assessor. The county commits
sioners had to confirm Pats manipu-
lation of county offices.
We do not mean to infer that Elk
River does not need deputy sheriff.
1t is a protest against the present
farce at law enforcement under Sheriff
Harper and Deputy Sheriff Leeper,
for which the county board is to de-
gree responsible. If Frank Zelenka
does not approve of the situation he
could as county commissioner refuse
to pay for a deputy who did not earn
his salary, or did not enforce the
law. There is no reason why one
good man could not serve both as dep
uty sheriff and village marshall at
Elk River, dividing the cost between
the county and the village, saving
the salary of one officer, and in no
way impair the service. If, how
ever, two men are needed, there
should be no objection.
