RAIL EARNINGS INCREASE
Minnesota Lines Show Gain for Last
Half of 1914.

The gross earnings of the thirty
seven railroads reporting for the last
half of 1914 to the Minnesota tax
commission total $56,724,O2397.
This is $13,5OO,OOO more than the

AS compared to the last six months
of 1913, banner year, the roads show
a decrease of $S,500,OOO in earnings.
The drop for the last six months of
the year is said to be due to the fact
that the war has had it's influence on
shipping.
The earnings for 1914 total $99,SO5,-
959,S9O. The earnings for 1913 were
$1l4,674,262.16 and in 1912 were $685.

The county option bill, which
passed the senate. several weeks ago,
has passed the house by vote of
&C to 81.
The vote was taken after the house
had been in session ten continuous
hours. nine of which were devoted to
a consideration of the county option
bill.
One amendment was made to the
bill as it passed the senate. This ex-
tends the time from sixty days to six
months in which saloons must close
after county votes dry.
The senate promptly approved the
house amendment and the bill now
goes to the governor.
The county option law will take ef-
feet as soon as it is signed by Gov
ernor Hammond, but it will not elimi-
nate any saloons until they are voted
cut by counties. The machinery for
this process is simple.
When petition, signed by rs per
cent of the voters of county, based
OH the number cast for governor at
the last election, is presented to the
county auditor asking for special
election, the auditor is required to is
sue an order for the election. 1t must
take place on Tuesday, not less
than forty or more than fifty days af-
ter the filing of the petition. The
usual machinery is provided for the
election and both .:wets" and "drys''
arc to be represented on the election
board in each precinct. The ballots
will read:
'Shall the sale of liquor be prohib-
ited?" with blanks for marking Eyes"
or mo" If a majority votes eyes,
then the county goes dry" No more
saloon licenses may be issued and
every saloon in the county must close
up within six months.
If the county votes wet then the
present local option law remains in
force and each city or village may Ii
cense saloons or not, as it pleases.
In either case the question may not
be submitted again in that county for
three years.
