WHAT THE SHIP BILL MEANS,

No greater crisis ever faced the AM
erican producer, farmer as we'll as
manufacturer, than the present ques-
ton of ocean transportation for their
products. Owing to the war, ocean
freights have been advanced up to
four hundred per cent, and our coun-
try is absolutely at the mercy Of for
eign ship-owners. Wheat to Rotter-
dam cost 61a cents last summer, and
in December it was 30 cents per
bushel. For twenty years, while they
had the power, Republican politicians
promised the country and talked about
q merchant marine but did nothing.
Now. the present administration pro-
poses that something be done and
done soon, to relieve the situation
and give American industry chance
to reach the trade that Is within their
Rrasp. Politicians are still trying to
talk It to death, holding up as a bug
a-boo, the alleged evils Of government
ownership. Government ownerships
of railroad and ships built the Pan
ANA Canal for the benefit of the peo-
ple of the United States, and it can
be invoked with equal propriety to

COUNTY OPTION WILL PASS.

Tomorrow the House of Represen
tatives will vote on the County Op-
ton bill passed by the Senate If the
members truly represent their dis
tricts, it will pass, and will become
a law by the governors signature.
Two years ago the House defeated a
similar bill by tie vote, even then
some members repudiating their home
pledges. The prohibition cause has
made great strides since then. Many
important points have gone dry" by
a vote Of the people and large areas
Of Northern Minnesota have been de-
clared "dry" under old Indian treat
les. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
these added areas to the "dry" parts
of Minnesota will welcome the perma-
nent local settlement of the question
which county option promises. Then
the lines have frightened and very few
members escaped making a definite
pledge either for or against the meas.
ure. Long-headed politicians Of both
dominant parties will welcome set.
Element Of the question that will (they
fondly hope) remove it from politics
Looked at from these different angles
the bill should pass, and we hope tc
be able so to report in our next issue

SPOoNER HAS AMBITIONS
Morris Legislator Reported Has III.
Eye on Conqressm VoIstead's
Seat in Congress.


The political writer of the Mime
apolis Journal had the following in
teresting item in print Monday:
Lewis c. Spooner of Morris, &C.
hnowledged floor leader # the Mime
sofa house, has let it be known since
the legislature convened that he has
his eye on the congressional chair
now occupied by A. J. Volstead Of
Granite Falls. To house members
from the seventh district has been
slipped the information by friends
Of Mr.. Spooner, with the evident In.
tention of trying out public sentiment
"Mr. Spooner has had congressional
aspirations for several years. He had
such step in mind, when he first
went to the legislature in 1907. At that
time there were several ambitious
ones in the district, and no one of
them quite dared to enter, for the
reason that one fling would surely
bring on others, and in a divided field
Volstead would have easy sailing. So
great three-cornered fight of 1902,
when Volstead first was nominated,
he has had no real trouble either at
the primaries or at the polls.
"Volstead has had time to get quite
grip on the district, but the loss of
postoff1ce patronage, tends to weaken
his hold just now. He never has
greatly distinguished himself in Wash
ington, being rather negative person
ality, and by the same token he has
aroused little opposition. There is
sor sentiment in the district now for
a change, and Spooner is being looked
to as the man to make the fight
| Spooner has come into his own as a
legislative leader at this session, and
is more than fulfilling the promise he
gave when he entered the legislature
eight years ago. He is likely to get
through the session with record that
will help him materially in a congress
sional campaign"

tools Of trade, raw materials and fin
ished products; merchandise and fix
lures, on the same basis. This would
stimulate industry, increase employ
ment and encourage all who are en-
gagged in useful industry.
Iron land and iron ore are left the
same as now, at so per cent; all other
lands at 40 per cent; while the prop
erty and franchises of public service
corporations not subject to the gross
earnings tax are left, as now, at 40
per cent.
The land Spectator in country and
city would find his taxes increased,
while the working farmer, the home
owner, the store keeper and the man
ufacturer would get off considerably
easier than now. The bill is fathered
in the House by about a. dozen good
men from all parts OF the state.
County Option.
No other question is so much in
evidence. Nearly all members of both
House and Senate were elected either
for or against this measure.
If we are to accept the arguments
Of it's opponents, the County Option
bill which passed the Senate by five
majority, is the sum of all the will
ainies.
| According to Zollman, Wharton and
Spillane, the attorneys for the brew.
ers, the bill is utterly and all together
undemocratic and revolutionary and
deprives the people of home rule and
local self government, as we'll as per
sonal liberty.
They praise the present system OF
so called local option" as being the
Quintessence of justice and fair play
At the same time they admit:
(1) That the small village or city
is not natural social unit, and thai
the surrounding farmers, who are de
prived of vote on license, are JUS
as much part of the local commun
| ity as are the people who happen tt
live inside the village or city limits.
(2) They admit that the county i:
the fiscal unit; that the county mus
support the paupers and pay the ex
pense of prosecuting the criminals
caused by the licensed liquor traffic
But it would be so undemocratic to lie
the people of the county vote on tn
question of license or no license with
in it's borders. How the minds O
some men can get things twiste'
when the truth is against their peck
ct books.
