st. Paul Letter

St. Paul Nov. 24-North state busi-
ness men and residents generally are
busying themselves in the matter of
a campaign of education COW
ering the question of tonnage
tax. They are going to take up the
controversy direct with the voters.
Reasons why such an infection should
not be made are now in preparation.
Possibly at no time in it's history has
northern Minnesota been aroused over
a matter involving its chief industry
as at the present time. Its people
sreally feel sore and their wrath has
frequent mention in the press OF that
section. Every individual in the North
country has named himself COM
mittee Of one to protest the tax ana
woe to the candidate for state honors
who ivades that section with the tau
az his slogan. He can check up right
Isnow and strike the North country on
his list. Heretofore, arguments con-
corning the proposed tax and the act,
witty of those engaged in its infection
have been based solely on the lessen
80 value of one Of the states prin-
r;nai resources and the benefit accru.
-, - one or two big corporations

sidential nomination come West, what
favorite son could command it better.
All this will not be overlooked when
Minnesota's choice is being consider
ed and it is why his name is MENTION
ed now. AS to General Wood, ma
tional admirers Of the doughty lutte
Indian fighter long ago placed Mimi
esota in his column and the claim still
goes. Gov. Louden of Illinois, by the
way Minnesota born, is newcomer
but it has to be said that he has a
number of Gopher admirers. He is
rich, at least is said to be so, and as
such he constitutes the honey pot
around which one faction of the Re-
publica party in Minnesota is pre-
pairing to gather. As the old saw
runs, however, there may be a slip.
Presidentially, Minnesota came
within an ace of joining the ranks of
the unwashed three years ago, there
being less than 400 votes between it
and a Republican record of better
than fifty years standing but there is
little chance of a repeat next year.
he presidential vote in 1916 was
1884 for Charles E. Hughes, the
Republican candidate, to 1882 for
President Wilson and how the Rep
ublican candidate got by is still
mystery to some. Chairman Lind
quist and the state Republican COM
mittee of that period, however, know
for they were at no time ignor-
ant of the Presidents strength. When
Woodrow Wilson ran in 1912, he had
the benefit of the divided Republican
party with w. H. Taft bearing tn.
regular brand and Theodore Roose-
welt running under the title of Pro-
gressive. Roosevelt carried the state
with Taft, the regular Republican
candidate poor third. By the way,
Gov. Louden of Illinois was one Of
several who aided materially in the
nomination of Mr.. Taft as against
Theodore Roosevelt and his action
then may materially affect his chances
in Minnesota next year. The Gopher
state has always been strong for the

the lethargy of the past, the peopl

the lethargy of the past, the people
and business interests Of the North
country generally have taken up the
threatened tax as political rather
than economic question and propose
to fight it to the bitter end. They say
the politicians and not the people are
agitating the tax and they intend that
the people shall be shown. Do not be
surprised if the North country insists
on making Gov. Burnquist the re
cipient of it's gubernatorial vote. His
excellency has said that under no
conditions will he be a candidate
again, still men have been known to
change their minds.
Amazed at the extraordinary grow
tn of the states trust funds and the
rapidly increasing revenue from its
many natural resources former Gov.
Eberhart caused the country to sit up
and take notice of his prediction of a
taxless state. Leading papers and
magazines devoted lengthy articles to
the theatenened innovation. Another
state official who often spoke glow
ingly Of taxless future for Minneso-
ia was former State Auditor S. G.
Iverson. 1t is still in the offing, how
ever, with promised rate for 1920
the highest in the history of the state.
This mention of a taxless Minnesota
would not be complete without the
statement that Wyoming, a neighbor-
ing Western state is indulging in
similar dreams. One of it's revenues
is state royalty on oil and last year
over 100000 was realized from this
source, and the figure Is climbing.
This, it's optimists say, means tax
less Wyoming ere long. Don's worry;
the next legislature will be able to
keep pace with the increase.
Oscar Arneson, chief clerk of the
house, who last week filled for the re-
publican nomination for Lieutenant
Governor is receiving much kindly at
teton from the press of the state.
His acquaintance is extensive and he
has the best wishes of many in public
life. Whether his political ambitions
are satisfied or not he can always
have the job of chief clerk of the
house. He is peculiarly fitted for that
position. So far no one has come for

Present political gossip runs pretty
much to aspirations for state guber>
material honors and the state ticket
generally. The national end of the
game has figured but little, though
the time is fast approaching when
such matters as selecting national
standard bearer are definitely settled.
The several parties operating in Min
nesota will pick their favorite some
time in March, and while it woulo
seem that there should be more or less
activity in the way of candidates,
there is practically none as far as
surface indications are concerned.
However, this must not be taken as
meaning that National politics have
been entirely overlooked by the king
makers. There is considerable doing
and the pot will undoubtedly be boil
ing merrilySby New Years. In the
selection of convention delegates, the
Republican end of the game naturally
has first consideration as it is the
dominant party in the Gopher state
and to those who play the big game
the choice of the coming gathering is
uppermost. With the Minnesota Re.
publican king makers three names
have the call just now, Senator +. B.
Kellogg, General Leonard Wood and
Governor Louden of Illinois. Senator
Kellogg figures in the role OF the
favorite son while either Gen. Wood
or Governor Louden represents the
possible ultimate choice. Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington has
been mentioned, but that is about az
far as he will get. The bet at this
writing is either Senator Kellogg, If
he wants to make try at the big
game, or General Wood. The latter
is an undoubted Republican favorite
in Minnesota. To some the mention
of Senator Kellogg may be in the way
of idle gossip, but for their benefit, it
can be said with truth that those who
scott have another guess coming. Inc
slogan, "a Big Man for Big JOB"
was not coined without full know
ledge of the person honored and Sem
ator Kellogg has fully merited the
title since being transferred to the ma
tional capitol. 1t is generally agreed
that senatorially, Minnesota is the

union. Republican presidential NOM

NEWS AT WHITE HOUSE.

Word of Jenkins release came to the
White House as President Wilson was
in the midst of his conference with
Senators Fall and Hitchcock.
When the news was conveyed to the
room where the conference was held 1t
nearly broke UP the meeting, ac-
cording to White House officials.
The Jenkins case is just an in
stance of the many facts leading up to
this situation for the last six years,
Senator Lodge. Republican leader and
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee, said today regarding the release
Of Jenkins.
Ills release will have no affect on
the present situation"
Senator King, Utah, Democrat, took
a different view. He said that the re-
lease of jenkins removes the imme-
diate crisis
Il should regret very much to see a
war preciptated with Mexico Just now,
because of the unsettled conditions in
Europe and because il would solidify
South American republics against the
United States.
II would, however have this govern :
ment make immediate demand that
Mexico observe international obliga-
TONS treaties, and make reparat alton for
damages done to American life and
property. | think the president or the
secretary of state should ask Mexico
to participate in a joint commission to
settle these claims but If she refuses
we ought TO blockade her ports and
force her to grant Justice. I have felt
certain all along that Jenkins would
be released"

FUEL CoNFAs

Mayor Err G. Eaglsson today
called a conference on the coal sit.
uation to be held in the council
cham Der of the city hall at 1880
o'clock this evening.
Fuel dealers and business mon
have been notified directly. Citizens
and househoIders generally will be
welcomed at the meeting to discuss
the local outlook for the period Of
coal shortage.
Mayor Eagleson suggests that the
conferences recommend conservation
methods to be adopted. More gem
eral use Of slab wood for fuel is one
means to make more coal available
for communities that have no wood,
and for those not equipped to burn
wood.
Boiss's schools all have ample
coal for the winter, stored before
the opening of the school year.
