mo heavier tax Is imposed on the
people of Minnesota than that of
careless enforcement of the laws regu-
lating shipments of grain and farm
produce 49,
Firm in this belief and with a de-
sire to remedy such a condition, ]. S.
Arneson, candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for railroad and
warehouse commissioner, is in the
midst Of his campaign preliminary to
the primary election June 16.
Arneson was in Duluth yesterday,
personally looking after the campaign
and calling on many of his friends
and acquaintances. He frankly ad-
United that he is without, a cam
paign manager and emphasized the
fact that his election will not depend
on the support of any organization or
private corporation.
He said: II have always taken a
keen interest in st. Louis county af-
fairs and during my newspaper career
on the range, worked to obtain
the convention of the editorial as
sociation for this part Of the state.
I did this because wanted to dispel
the popular conception in other parts
of the state that our people are of
the rougher sort The editors soon
learned that northern Minnesota il
full of people who are just as human,
just as refined, and just as bighearted
as any in the land
While secretary to Lieut.. Gov. S. Y.
Gordon, Arneson was instrumental in
anti-tonnage tax circles and worked
diligently for the defeat of the bill.
In seeking the nomination for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner, he
is conducting single-handed fight.
In the press OF the state Arneson
has been characterized as q man OF
no little experience and in the very
prime Of political life. He is desig
mated: as capable, fearless. vigorous
and " level-headed and APPARENTLY
gained the reputation when he was
holding county office in the western
part Of the state.
Primarily, Arneson holds, the in
terests of the people must be ad-
vanced. He believes that: these in
terests can best be served by per-
sons who are not controlled by cor
porations. With this as his standard
he will go before the voters at the
primaries.

LABOR AGENCIES
TO Be REGULATED
Wisconsin State Industrial Com.
mission Will standardize All
Employment Agencies.

An interesting hearing was held at
the Commercial club roms in Super
Tor last Friday evening by w. M.
Lieserson of the Industrial Commits
sion of Wisconsin, on the rules and
regulations proposed for. all employ
ment bureaus and agencies in the
state.
Several of the agents of the private
employment bureaus were present but
made no serious objections to. any Of
the proposed rules.
Among the most important of the
rules from the standpoint of the
worker are these: The agent must
give a card of introduction to the
applicant and furnish him in writing
of the probable length of service and
all labor conditions in and around the
job if possible, also whether deduc-
lions for hospital, mail service, pen
sion funds, etc., are to be made and
the arnount Of each deduction.
Where applicants come from other
cities through .tfie agency all ex-
penses Of the applicant must be paid
by the agent If he fails to furnish
work, No fee can be collected. from
the applicant unless work is assured.
In all the schedule contains twenty
seven rules and regulations that
should work out a great change in
the conduct and administration of
the private employment agencies in
the state. .*....:.e
These rules are fundamentally the
same as those recommended to con-
gress for the establishment of Federal
labor exchanges.
