Long distance telephone rates have been increased for
several of the cities in this section of the state. The
Northwestern Telephone Co. have greatly increased their
rates in places and the Tri company has also
made increases. It has not been announced but

not good public policy and town should have

matter for the commission determine fairness to both
the companies and the public but that the rates should be
harmonious between the different towns there can be no
question.
There is doubt but that the public has gone to ex-

Editor of the Morris Tribune,
Dear SIR
am glad to find that your prominent farmer has
unfoded to you mind concerning the campaign
on county option, but am glad to know that he
is but one of great army of intelligent. independent
farmers who are wanting do what they believe will be
the best for themselves and for the hepfuness OF the
community of which they form important part; in
deed this is the very element in the situation that gives
of county option and also promise for right settlement
Of the question.
The intelligent farmer is thinking out the whole pro-
nostion as to whether he needs the saoon Is it pay
those things that really the betermen of life and
character?
With the intelligent farmer, tire old time bugaboo OF
loss Of market for his grain should the breweres and dis
tleres be put of business have lost it's depressing
fuences-for he has got to know and understand that
less than two per of the grain raised is used by
the traffic in it's business and that the loss of this
particular market would affect the farmer than
does an under production of two per cent in
previous years. The grass hoppers cinch bugs
occasionally cut grain production two per cent but
it put the farmer of business? You know it doesnt

THAT SCHOOL AID AGAIN

If man owed you $1OO, and refused to pay any of
it unless you accepted $5 full settlement and you had
no means enforcing collection you would take the $75,
wouldn't you?
If the man afterwards claimed that you "approved"
of the cut of $685. you would not consider him good
"mora risk'' thereafter, would you?
This respectfully referred to the political reporter
of the Pioneer Press and the at whose suggestion he
wrote the following item:-
The Morris Tribune of May 20 in commenting the
reduction in the appropriation for school aid mads by
the 1915 Legislature agree with other editors that not
sufficient educational funds provided, and adds:
''If the Legislature had followed the advice of the
department of education and well Informed school men,
all schools would have been fairly treated
Representative L. C. Spooner of Morris the head
of the House appropriations committee and this comment
from his home paper would indicate not any too great
fendness between the editor and Mr. Spooner The facts
of the case however, that the state department of
education consulted and did approve of the cut made
The truth of the matter is this.
For years and years the state of Minnesota has
been extending state aid high, graded, rural and
consolidated schools, Just what that aid should be
has been determined by statute, and has been modified
from time to time. Always, however, the state aid
has been given in for the school districts under
taking something special for the education OF the boys
and girls of the state either the quality kind of train
ing provided.
In return for this aid. the school district had
to undertake additional expenses provided additional
buildings Or facilities
The statute therefore became contract between the
state on the one the school district the other
The 1915 legislature reaffrmed that contract in
Chapter 296 of the Laws of 1915.
To carry out provisions of the old schedule of the
state aid required 900 and to out the provi
sion of Chapter 296 would require still Instead of
providing the which the districts entitled to.
the legislature appropriated only $3,6OOOOO O91
900 short.
To say that the state department of education zap
proved this CUT is just like saying that creditor zap
proves when he accepts $75 500 debt from man
who will live his contract and cannot be forced
to- 1t was the legislature and not the department which
