Norbeck, lieutenant governor of South
Dakota, continues as the leading can
didate for nomination to the office of
governor on the Republican ticket.
While Independent candidates for this
Office will doubtless secure a vote or a
respectable size, it is conceded that
Mr.. NorbeCk will receive the votes of
the great bulk of the Republicans who
formerly were identified with what
were known as the progressive and
stalwart Republican factions. These
former factionists now are united un-
der the slogan Of "Norbeck and Har-
mony," and predictions are freely be
ing made that Mr.. Norbeck will at the
May primary election, capture the
nomination for the governorship.
Some Candidates Unopposed
For the office of lieutenant governor
on the Republican ticket, there are
three candidates. State Senator w. II.
McMaster, of Yankton, and Senator +.
c. Miller, of Brookings. and T. S.
Everett, of Redfield, all are con-
Quoting clean campaigns, and when
the primary battle Is over there will
be no sore spots, and the losing candi-
date will at the election in November
support the winner of the primary cleo
ton.
For several other state offices on the
Republican ticket, there are opposing
candidates, while a number of candi-
dates have no opposition, among these
being Charles II. Lugg, present state
superintendent Of public instruction
and candidate for denomination; At
torney General Caldwell, candidate for
denomination, and N. E. knight, oil
Hamlin county, candidate for re-
nomination to the office of state com
missioner Of school and public lands,
Willis C. Cook, of Minnehaha county,
has no opposition for election at the
May primary election as the South Da-
kota member of the Republican ma
tional committee.

PREPAREDNESS, COST $ss,ooo,ooo.
Leaders Assert Nearly the Entire Bur-
den Will Be on Income Tax.

Washington. The proposal to
amend the income tax law so as to in
clude smaller incomes is virtually GER
tain to be abandoned in favor of an
increased rate on those already tax
ed, it is declared by democratic house
leaders.
They now declare that virtually the
entire preparedness revenue burden
will be met with income taxes. Tenta-
tive bills looking to raising 100000
600 solely by an increased income tax
rate are being discussed, and will be
offered soon in committee.
1t is suggested doubling the present
/ per cent rate on incomes below $780,
900, and possibly make the tax on in
comes above that amount as high as
per cent. Also lowering the min
imum income subject to the per cent
rate to $4,000 he said.
Married men, according to this plan,
would be given the advantage of an
additional $1,000 exemption, as in the
present law.

NEW RUL|NC0NT THE
INTERSTATE RATES
COMMERCE COMMISSION ORDERS
ASTORIA PLACED ON EQUAL
WITH SOUND POINTS.
INLAND EMPIRE BENEFITED
Decision Shows That Past High Rates
Has Retarded Growth Of Orepon
Port-Great Improvements Past
Five Years There.

| Washington. y The interstate COM
merce commission decided Saturday
that the present rate adjustment of
the Spokane Portland & Seattle and
other Lsilways in reaching Seattle, Ia
comafand Astoria unduly discrimin-
ates against Astoria in favor of those
cities on Puget sound The commits
sion also required carriers to put AS
/ toria on an equal basis as to rates to
Spokane and other points between the
Cascade and Rocky mountains as are
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland
Harlan Wrote Decision.
In the decision Commissioner Harlan
who wrote it, suggests that now that
Astoria has been granted equality with
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland in rates
to the Inland Empire Portland probab-
ly will come forward with demand,
based on it's advantage of more than
100 miles in the distance to Inland EN-
pire points over Astoria, for a lower
rate than is just granted to Astoria. If
this weer allowed it would give Port
land that much advantage over the
Puget sound ports.
ut is obvious, however," writes the
commissioner, that there is some
thing of natural relationship in the
rates of Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria and
Portland than can not be ignored and
a reduction in the Portland rate to and
from the Inland Empire does not nee
essarily follow as an inevitable con-
sequence of a reduction in the Astoria
rate to the basis of the Seattle and
Tacoma rates."
The whole decision shows the COM
missions conviction that the prevail
ing higher rail freight rate from AS
toria to the interior has held back the
growth and development of that port
and has kept the larger steamships
from stopping there to the particular
advantage of the Puget sound ports.
1t points out that great public improve
ments are being made to Astoria's
harbor and that conditions have much
changed for the better in the five
years.
Railroads Discriminate.
Reciting the allegations of the COM
plant that the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, owning the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle and being re-
sponsible for granting terminal rates
to Seattle and Tacoma, unluly prefer
those points and unjustly discriminate
against Astoria when they refuse to
extend terminal rates to Astoria, the
decision presents long set of com
parative statistics to show the differ
ence in rates that works disadvan-
tage of Astoria.

ance fund to secure to workers ade-

of work, sickness or old age, and

dent next September. The resolution
