Judge |. M Olsen
Hears Rate Case
Will Decide Whether North
Western and Omaha Are
One Road

Judge I. M. Olsen presided at
a railroad freight rate case in
Marshall the greater part of
last week, the finding in which
will be far-reaching to the ship
pers as well as the C. & N. w.
and Omaha lines. The case had
all the sittings of a large rate
case. The attorney general and
the leading rate attorneys of
the c. & N. w. and Omaha lines
together with the state railroad
and warehouse commissioners
and attorneys for the shippers
were present.
When the state legislature
passed the eastman distance
tariff law, the railroad and
warehouse commission was au-
thorized to make a basis of rates
over all railroads on commodi-
ties, livestock and grain. On
livestock and grain a tentative
order was made over the rails
OF the Omaha and the North
western on single lire basis, on
the theory of one line control.
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission set a hearing on this or
der for May Fl, 1914, the rail-
road companies appearing, and
the tentative order was amend
ed and a joint rate made, not
to exceed an arbitrary one cent
per hundred weight over the
combination of two local rates.
From that order an appeal was
taken to the district court of
Lyon county by Attorney James
H. Hall, representing the ship
pers of that county. It was
stated in the evidence presented
by the shippers who shipped
over the G. & N. w. to Mankato
from Balaton and vicinity and
then transferred to the Omaha,
that they were thereby COM
PEELED to pay the one cent more
per hundredweight than those
who shipped over the Omaha
from points just south of Bala-
ton or those who shipped over
the Great Northern from points
just north of Balaton. After
an appeal was taken from that
rate, Judge Olsen, at Redwood
Falls, on October IA, 1914, made
an order allowing a number of
elevator companies of Minneap-
oils to participate in the case.
Judge Olsen will not render
his opinion in the above case for
some time. Among those pres
ent at the rate hearing were the
following: C. C. Wright of Chi
cago, attorney for the North

KITCHEN SINK HAS INNING
AT RURAL LIFE SESSION
Always Placed Too Law for
Woman's Comfort, Is
Charge

The kitchen sink was disposed
of in 80 seconds in the discus
zion eff the problem of the farm
home at the Rural Life confer
ence at University farm Friday,
while more than an hour was
devoted to the Importance of or
ganizing farm women into clubs
and leading them TO appreciate
the aesthetic side of country life,
including the birds and bees and
running brooks.
To Mrs. G. M. Ferguson of
Minneapolis, president of the
Fifth District Federation of
Women's clubs, belongs the
credit of having introduced the
kitchen sink and raised it, even
though momentarily, to a posi-
tion of prominence among the
problems of the rural home.
Mrs. Ferguson submitted that
in the country as in the city,
perhaps, the time would come
when house builders would in
stall! the sink several inches
higher than the standard and
thereby save for the women a
world of STOPPING.
She alse advocated increased
provision for recreation that
should include farm women, sug-
costing as desirable revivals of
the old-fashioned spelling bees,
country dancing, district de-
bates, quilting and corn husking
parties
Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws of
Appleton, Mimi, said that so
many country people are so
much concerned in saving for a
rainy day or for their old age
that they do not spend enough
in the present.
The conference, which lasted
four days, ended Friday.

WHY I SHALL VOTE
FOR SUFFRAGE.
BY REV. WILLIAM 7. MERRILL.
pastor of tho RricL Church.

BY REV. WILLIAM 7. MERRILL.
Pastor of the Brick Church.
Woman suffrage IL only the Logical
extension OF the democratic prin-
ciple: as such ! am in favor OF 1t.
But ! shall vote for woman SUI
fragc as a principle. not because
believe II will revolutioniIe our
political life, any more than ! can
imagine 1t having the great effect
on the American homo that the
"antis" fear II will.
My conversion to BELIEF In
woman suffrage IL comparatively
recent. And am not even now
what could be fairly called an en-
thusiast. The conviction that II was
a Just amendment came 10 me SLOW
ly, but coming slowly il is, think,
solidIy founded. A few years ago
] believed that only few women
actually desired to be enfranchised.
While | believed that there were
only a few | would not have voted
for the amendment. Now that ] am
sure there is a large body of intel
ligent women who honestly desire
the ballot, | think II should be given
TO them.
