S. D.. Commission Sus-
tanned by State Court

Pierre. S. DIN the ase of the
state rs. the express companies, in
volving the increase in rates by the
express companies on order of the
interstate commerce commission in
proceedings brought by the Sioux City
Commercial club, the supreme court
handed down it's formal opinion this
morning, sustaining the state railway
commission in it's opposition to such
increase.
In the decision the court takes is
sue with the United States supreme
court in it's decision in the Shreve-
port case, holding that in that decis-
ion the United States supreme court
was in error in holding that the fed
eral constitution authorized federal
control of intrastate rates.
That even if the United States S
prene court was correct on that point,
there is nothing in the interstate
commerce act which gives the inter
state commerce commission control
of %intrastate rates; that even it the
decision was correct in the Shreve-
port case yet in that case the inter
state commerce commission specified
the territory covered by it's order,
while in this cas they simply made
their order covering points in South
Dakota," and allowed the express
companies to decide what points
should be included thus delegating
their own power to the express com
panies, which they had no authority
to do, so that in exercising this pow
er delegated to them, the express
companies attempt to make such or
der apply to the whole state, thus
including more territory not compel
ing with Sioux City than territory
which is competing with Sioux City.
On these conclusions the court sus-
tanned the action of the state board
in this action, brought to prevent the
express companies from putting the
new rate into force and effect.

Socialism Getting a
Foothold in Norway

Christiania, Norway significant
political upheaval is Indicated by the
remarkable socialist gain in the mu-
nicipal elections in Christiania this
month. For 16 years the Norwegian
capital has been governed by the con
sentative party, but at the elections
just concluded the socialists won AZ
out of the "a seats on the aldermanic
board, leaving the conservatives 81
and the radicals S. The radical mem
bers are known to be irreconcilab!e
to casting their votes for a ~onserya
tive mayor. and it therefore, is pre-.
dicted that the socialists forthwith
will elect one of their representatives
for mayor.
The growth of the socialist vote
throughout Norway has been marked
since suffrage was extended to every
man and woman more than 25 years
of age. In the last state election, a
year ago, the socialists mustered 40
per cent of the voters.
One reason for the recent gains has
been the high cost OF living and many
middle class persons whose wages
have not increased proportionately.

form, which would have the govern

necessary articles, such as food and

these lines in imports of flour and

YOUR ACCOUNT AT THE
BANK OF GOOD HEALTH

The average business man is care
full not to overdraw his account at the
bank.
If the average person were as care
full about not overdrawing his account
at the bank of health he would be
vastly better off, a the. Duluth
Herald.
No business man thinks he can
keep on issuing checks on his bank
account without making deposits.
But a whole lot of people seem to
think they can always keep on max
ing drafts on the bank of health with
out ever bothering to make a deposit.
They can't do it. The bank of health
won't stand it any more than your
national or state bank will.
These are drafts on the bank of
health: work; worry; sitting up late;
drinking and smoking too much; over.
doing exercise; ~overeating, anger;
dissipation of all kinds.
And these are deposits in the bank
of health: rest: recreation; sleep;
fresh air; sunlight; outdoor exercise
according to your physical capacity;
temperance in food and drink; having
a hobby to keep your mind from get
ting lopsided; enjoyment of music
plays, pictures, books and wholesome
social distraction.
Be faithful with your deposits in
the bank of health, and you can be as
Regular as you please with your
checks upon it--providing you use as
much common ens in drawing these
checks as a good business man does
in checking against his bank account

Suits Growing Out Of
Ore Lane Defalcation

Suits have been instituted by the
city, the papers having been prepared
by City Attorney j. e. Mather, to re
cover portions of the sums lost
through the populations of o. M. Lane
late city auditor.
Former Mayor H. A. Wagner and
his bondsmen are asked to make good

drawn from the treasury by Mr.. Lane
upon fictitious warrants for alleged
accounts that had never been audited

rants. Nj. Wagner's bondsmen were
N. F. Marx and H. A. Park.
Former City Treasurer Towslee
comes in for the largest sum in the
demands by the city attorney. He is
declared to have cashed warrants
drawn in favor of Mr.. Lane to the
extent of sS,43S.3S. That is to say.
it was the policy of Mr.. Lane, instead
of drawing warrants payable to the
parties having accounts against the
city, to draw them payable to him
self, frequently in large sums, and
then Mr.. Lane himself would remit di-
to the firms.
1t is charged in the papers that
this policy resulted in more or less
loss to the city, and it is furthermore
alleged that the city treasurer should
not have cashed these warrants, but
should have insisted upon the war
rants being drawn in the name of the
parties whose accounts had been aud
tied.
The presidents of the three nation
al banks and of the former CONNER
cial bank are Mr.. Towslee's bondsmen
and they are named in the suit
against Mr.. Towslee.
Suit is also INSTITUTED against the
bondsmen of Mr.. Lane to recover
s~1,954.90. ]. M. Mahowald, DR.. R. F..
Campbell and Mark w. Sheafe are
named as the bondsmen.
Mr.. Conley, as former treasurer,
is brought in to the extent of S499.52
upon grounds on which is brought
against Mr.. Towslee.
The total amount involved in these
is ~$12,567.45, although the total
amount of Lanes shortage is said to
S1k 000 M and e20 non m |
These matters will have to run the
gauntlet of the courts to determine
the parties named shall be
liable for the amounts stated, or any
portion thereof. The city contends
that they are liable. The answers,
however. have not been submitted, but
it is presumed that liability will be
contested.
