The Cofporatiou'S Friend.

If the public utilities commission
bill had passed at the last session of
the legislature, home rule would have
been taken away from every village and
city in Minnesota having telephone
company or public service corporation.
That bill was beaten in the House, and
as a result the cities and villages Of
the state still have chance for home
rule. Henry Rines, speaker at that ses-
sion, and now candidate for state aud
itor, led the fight against this attack
on home rule for our cities and Will
ages. The Bell Telephone company,
powerful corporation, strongly oppos-
ed the Nolan telephone bill in the last
legislature. It could not defeat the
bill by vote of the members, but Gov.
Eberhart came to the rescue of the Bell
company and vetoed the bill. thus pre-
venting it from becoming law. When
it came to a test Of loyalty between
the people and grasping corporation,
the governor, who is now seeking re-
election, at the hands of the people,
sided with the grasping corporation.
This incident in the official career Of
Gov. Eberhart is enough to condemn
him in the mind Of every fair-minded
voter of the state.-Inter Lake Tribune.

RURAL CARRIERS ORGANIZE.
Half the Number of Rural Carriers II
Kandiyohi County Attend Organi-
zation meeting.

Sixteen rural letter carriers met on
Decoration Day in the City Of Will
mar for the purpose of re-organizing
the Kandiyohi County Rural Carriers
Association. The meeting was called
to order in the Carlson Hall at II a. m.
w. f. Hayes of Willmar was elected
President; S. J. Dahlberg of New Lon
don, vice president; II. G. Nelson of
Svea. secretary and w. Wilson of Spic-
err treasurer Annual dues were fixed
at $500. Emil Dahlheim and S. j.
Dahlberg were elected as delegates to
the State Convention that will convene
July 10th and July 18th at Mankato.
Decoration Day, 1915, was set for an
on Willmar as the meeting place. There
are 81 rural carriers in the county and
it is hoped that all Of them belong to
the Association before another year
rolls around. The interest Of the work
of these men demands association and
carriers who shirk the duty of belong
ing to such an organization have not
the welfare of their own interests and
that all of the patrons on their routes
at heart. Associations in all branches
of civil or public work have always re-
suited in more efficient and better per-
Torrance old uties.-Raymond News.
