That central and northern Mime

said that as hog feed barley is excel

BAND BOYS INDIGNANT
Records Kept Of Expenditures Made
by Bemidji Musical Organization,
Is Answer to Complaint Of Lair.
BOOKS ALWAYS OPEN TO PUBLIC

Every cent collected by the Be-
midi concert band for it's mainten-
ance and the manner in which it was
spent is accounted for in the books
of H. E. Anderson, secretary of the
organization, say officers of the
band in answer to a complaint made
by Alderman Lair at the council
meeting on Monday evening, that no
reports have been made. H.
Members of the Eamidji band,
who play week in and week out with
out any remuneration. whatever,
were indignant when they learned
that the business methods of the or
ganization had been questioned and
in tOmorroWs Pioneer a report of the
band receipts and expenditures since
January 1, 1913, to May, 1914, will
be published. The books of the sec
rotary will be open to the public for
records before that time. i =
Complete records are kept and Os-
car Nelson, the treasurer, can fur
|nish reports of checks which he has
issued No checks are issued with
out order of the secretary. The rea-
son why public reports were not
issued was because no request had
ever been made and the band boys
were kept Informed of the finances
by a chart in the band room of the
city building. D.
''The insinuation that we have not
been conducting the band on a bust
ness basis is absolutely uncalled for
! said Secretary Anderson, "the rec
ordsi speak for themselves and have
always been open to inspection It
has been hard work to keep the band
boys together and instances of this
kind are mighty discouraging."

king COLE SCORES AGAIN
Musical Extravaganza Proclaimed to
Be Best Home Talent Play Ever
Produced in Bemidji by Audience
LAST PERFORMANCE TONIGHT

Even better than that of Monday
evening was the performance Of
'The Court of King Cole" at the
Brinkman theatre last night, and so
successful have been the productions
of the play that packed house is
predicted for tonight.
The play will be staged for the last
time this evening and those who
were not in attendance at either the
Monday or Tuesday night perform
ances should not miss the opportu-
nifty to see the presentation of the
popular musical extravaganza,
for it is without doubt the
most brilliant home talent show ever
given in Bemidji, and that is saying
good deal, for there have been
many good ones
From starting until the final cur
tain was rung down the interest was
absorbed in the excellent acting of
the principals, the eye pleasing work
of the chorus, the tuneful singing,
| the artistic effects of costumes and
and the ease with which the play
moved along.
| The entire show went through
1 with snap and a perfection of ac-
tion that left nothing to be desired
even when compared with the work
of the best professional companies.

SALOONS ARE; SAFE

United States Supreme Court Grants
Application Of Liquor Men for Per-
nit to File Reargument Motion.

appointed by Courts Action.

Although it has been the intention
of Cato Sells, commissioners of Indian
affairs of the government, to enforce
the laws concerning the sale of Ii
quors in the territory covered by the
treaty Of 1855, such action has been
barred by the granting of the appli-
cation of counsel for the liquor men
of Bemidji who asked permission to
file motion for rehearing by the
United States supreme court By so
doing the supreme court issued
stop to any proceedings by the In
dian bureau looking to the closing
Of saloons in the territory covered by
the Chippewa treaty of 1855.
Stay Is Ordered.
The court has ordered a stay IN
the issue of the mandate, and adj
journed until the second Monday in
October, SO that no action can be
taken on the petition for reargument
until that time. In the absence of
the order from the court dissolving
the Injunction granted by the United
States district court, the saloonkeep-
ers in Bemidji can continue business
for the next four months. 1t is re-
ported that the court will say
whether a reargument will be grant
ed on the first day of the next term.
Sells Expresses Regret.
Commissioner Cato Sells of the In
dian bureau expressed regret that
he would be unable to act on the
lid" question Immediately. He will
visit Minnesota the latter part of the
summer, however, and will get in
formation on which to base official
action covering the extent of the
country in which the lid is to be put
on the liquor traffic Officials Of
the interior department and the: In
dian bureau are confident that the
court will not permit a reargument,
and that the mandate of the court
will go down some time in October
Close All But Six.
Should Cato Sells so desire, he
could close every saloon in Bemidji
but the six protected by the injunc-
tion case of 1910. The other 200
saloons of the district could also be
closed. This action is not believed
| to be probable, because it would be
rather unfair to the saloonmen.

PREDICTS GREAT
PROSPERITY PERIOD.
Indications are That United States is
Now on Verge of Great Industrial
Boom-Decision Causes Delay.
MONEY PLENTIFUL AND EASY
Frank A.. Vanderslip Compares Ma
chine of Nation to Great Steam En-
CINE, Running With Light Load.

By Congressman G. H. Tavennor q
Washington, June 24,-From all
indications this country in now on
the verge OF one of the greatest
periods of industrial prosperity ever
experienced Conditions now are
exactly right for the boom to begin
and with the enormous crops this
year, as are now indicated, econ
omists believe that nothing can hold
back the booming times.
The fact that the activity has not
already commenced is being attribut-
ed to one thing-the delay of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
passing upon the request of the
eastern railroads for horizontal in
crease OF five per cent in freight
rates. All other candidates are such
that great industrial expansion and
activity ought to be in progress now
This activity is already being seen
in certain lines, but there is great
stagnation in other lines, some of it
do to the usual seasonal let-down,
that brings about a general average
of dizziness.
The power of railroads to check
prosperity was never so plainly seen
as at present. Few people realize
the widespread ramifications of rail-
road business in American industry
Let the railroads curtail their own
development, and the stagnation
speedily reaches a hundred other in
dustries, one pushing down the other
like a row OF falling dominos.
This curtailment is exactly what
the railroads have done, either to
create coercive public opinion in
their favor, or else to De ready to ad-
just themselves to the coming deci-
sion The decision is expected daily
1t probably will not be nearly what
the railroads have asked, but it will
end the period of indecision
Money is plentiful and easy. The
tariff is not having any evil effect
as the Republicans predicted. The
new banking system will be in oper-
alton within a few weeks, bringing
money and credit for expansion in
districts which formerly had to seek
financial fayors in Wall Street.
Banks are in sound shape. Credits
are not over-extended (the reverse
Of the condition in 1900. Best Of
all, Of late years there has not been
r-production, which is the primal
cause of most spells of hard times.
Factory stocks are low everywhere
If heavy demand should come from
the start, the mills would not be able
to keep UP with it.
All Of these facts were recited in
an address last week by Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the Nationel
City Bank OF New York Vanderlip
predicted great prosperity ahead
He said in part:
''The industrial machine of the
Nation might be likened to a great
steam engine. running with a load
much lighter than it's capacity, and
ready upon the turn Of the valve that
would let in more steam to respond
efficiently to vastly greater requir-
ments. There is large employment
Of labor, but that means that if re-
newed business activity were tc
come it would not be impeded at the
start by lack of workmen"

CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES RECALLED
Board Working in Endeavor to Assist

St. Paul, June 24.-(Special to the
Pioneer. Before the state forestry
department was organized as it is
now, when in fact one brave old man
was doing what he could single
handed with hardly any organiza-
ton and a trivial appropriation, the
federal forester in the Cass Lake
woods met a young man, very red
in the face and much fustered.
Are you the forester?" asked the
youth. Eyes" Marshall says the lad
would have been lost if he had gone
hundred feet from the trail.

well, I'm in the state service
Our instructions are to put out the
fire and Investigate to see who sci
it. If you will go and put it out I'll
go the other way and see if can
find out who is to blame" ~ ~
In the present contingency when
the state is burning money, the eff
fciency commission is not specially
trying to find out who is to blame
1t is giving it's energies rather to
making fire breaks. {
But if you must know who is C
blame
You are. =
Which of you has not some time
urged a new appropriation for some
highly laudable object?
Which Of you is not now support
ing some candidate on the strength
Of his promise to get something for
your district or to have the state do
more in some direction in which you
are interested?
Which of you ever went to St.
Paul to lobby for lower expenses?
A prominent, citizen of St. Paul
at the state capitol this morning,
was deploring the rapid increase in
state expenses. He declared it was
time to call a halt And that re-
minded him what hard struggle
he had in the last legislature to get
a measly half million for the state
historical building. He believes taxes
ought to be reduced. The one con.
tribution he has made to the prob
lem personally was to help spend half
million more
That is what all of you are do
ing.
The efficiency commissions plans
wont stop. The right of petition
remains. Human desires are not
to be abolished But the budget
plans proposed by the efficiency com
mission will enable the Legislature
to keep track of itself. The legisla
