FORCED TO QUIT
PUBLIC SERVICE
Many Experts and Scientific
Men Leave Government on
Account Of Low Wages.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-The cheap
wage policy of the government is
proving most costly, as scientific men
are being forced by economic neces-
sity out of the peoples service into
private employ, where rates are
doubled, tripled and qaudrupled over
those paid by Uncle Sam.
Every department Of the govern
ment is affected and the wonderful
organization Of scientists that has
been built up is crum bling to pieces.
In agriculture. geology, forestry,
commerce, fishery and every other hui
man endeavor, these scientists devise
better methods, investigate and ex-
pertinent.
Because congress has repeatedly re-
fused to consider the high cost Of liv-
ing, and adjust salaries accordingly,
these scientists are being forced TO
enter private employment.
While the pinch penny policy of
congress also affects other employees
of the government, they are not in
as favorable a position as the scien-
lists, although thousands of other
workers have resigned. This is es-
Jecially true in the postoffice depart
ment

CARSS. RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON:
Stops on Way to Spend Thanks
giving and Enjoy Visit with
Relatives in Iowa.

Congressman w. L. Carss and Mrs.
Carss left yesterday for De-, Moines,
Iowa, where they will spend Thanks
giving with relatives: They will visit
in Iowa for week and expect to be
In Washington Dec. S. They will not
return to Proctor until after the ad-
journment Of congress in March.
Mr.. Carss will take his old run back
on the Duluth, Missabe & Northern
and expects to don his overalls again
on the morning Of March IS, next.
Wouldn't. that be fine title for a
good story: "From locomotive cab
to congress and back again."
Former congressman from this dis
trict haven't the habit of coming back
home. Major Baldwin, who repre-
sented this district in 1892 left for
the west shortly after completing his
term In congress. Chas. A. Towne
claimed this city as his residence until
after he. retired from iis-brief term
j.. the senate. Page Morris was ap-
pointed federal judge and holds his
legal residence here. although his
family lives in California.
J. Adam Bede. although now out of
the district, still resides at Pine City.
1t is believed Clarence B. Miller has
left the district for good. It is pre-
d1cted that his next address will be
Manila, P. l." That sounds good
to us and We sincerely hope that he
will land the joI of governor-general
of the Philippines.
Congressman Carss has no interests
outside of this district This is his
home and he will continue to reside
here. He made a good congressman
and polled remarkable vote in the
last election. Here his friends are.
and some day he will again be called
into the public service where men of
hi; type are sorely needed.

SUIT SHOWS HOW
MONEY IS MADE
Corporation Bought Property for
. $4,000 Now Worth
: K. $1o;000,00o.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-A suit to
recover 100000 paid in taxes to
the government by the Labelle iron
works company shows the easy man
ner in which money can be made
by large corporations.
In 1904 the company bought ore
lands for 100000 and in eight years
the value of the property increased to
$1O.O00,000. The government insisted
that this value is "income'' and taxes
were levied on that basis. The COM
pany claims the right to increase it's
invested capital to the amount of the
Increased value of the land, and asks
that 81, 100000 collected by the govern
ment be returned.
IT the company is upheld it may
issue stock in an amount covering the
difference between $19O,000-its or
iginal investment-and $1O,OOO,0OO
which represents the increased value
Of the lands.
This means that the company will
put price on its iron ore that will
permit fair return" on the 100000
600 of stock, although there is an
investment of but 100000.

LABOR MEETINGS
Awakening in Alabama on Ac-

Owners Towards Workers.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. 25.-A
mass meeting held at Albany, this
state, in the interest Of striking coal

Albany is 10 miles from the strike
zone, yet the largest auditorium in
that place was crowded to the doors
to hear speeches by Representative of
the United Mine Workers.
Twenty years ago." says the Ad-
vance, "such meeting could not be
held In Albany or anywhere else, a
few miles away from a strike zone,
because workers then did not realize
that an injury to one is the concern of
all. It 1s especially true that farmers
would not have shown any interest at
all in such meeting, even a few years
ago. Yet they drove to Albany in
great numbers. forfeited their custom
of visiting a neighbor on their only
day away from work. and listened
most attentively. Their shouts of ap-
prevail as Bittner and Dinsmore drove
home the pointed truths about pres
ent-day industrial conditions showed
that they are awake and alive.
I'm this there is much comfort for
those who have long waited to see
the day when all those who work
would come to understand that all
workers are brothers and that there
is no division of interest along craft
and class lines.

WITHDRAWAL Of LIQUOR

Commissioner Kramer Announces
Greater Scrutiny of Future
Applications.

Applications to withdraw liquor
from bonded warehouses will be very
closely scrutinized in the future by
prohibition commissioners under
reorganization order affecting the
prohibition enforcement bureau. an
nounced by Commissioner Kramer.
Two new divisions will divide the
work formerly handled by one which
handled applications. One will pass
upon applications for the manufac-
ture of alcoholic products, determine
all non-beverage uses of intoxicating
liquor and conduct trade investiga-
tions to determine whether articles
permitted to be manufactured are pro-
duced in accordance with law. The
construction and operation of indus
trial alcohol and 'denaturing plants.
The latter division will also devote
some time to the development of uses
for denatured alcohol by laboratory
and research work. Its functions also
include analysis of many manufac-
tured articles which contain alcohol
to determine wins her they are COM
plying with the regulations.
The Norfolk district has furnished

POLICE TOLD TO MAKE
LOITERERS "MOVE. ON
Officers Instructed to Prevent the
Assembling of Persons on City
Sidewalks.

Maj Harry l.. Gessford. superin-
tendent of police, has told members
of the force to stop the practice of
persons congregating on the side
walks, thereby preventing free use of
the thoroughfares by others.
At a meeting of the inspectors and
captains, held at police headquarters
yesterday. Ma j. Gessford called atten-
|tion to reports of street distractions,
and told them to enforce the regu-
lations. especially where loafers and
idlers congregate daily.
Maj. Gessford said his directions
were not given in campaign against
any particular section. The law, he
said. applies to all sections alike
Prior to the trial and acQuittal of the
suffragists, it is Atated, police of the
second precinct made a number of

be filed against alleged offenders

tains, Maj. Gessford made it plain
that he wanted no drastic action

found obstructing the street in the
manner complained of, he stated, the
police are to warn them to move on.

Attack Pleases Managers.
The democratic managers, for their
part, are highly pleased with his attack.
They argue that the attention of the
voters has been called to the association
of the republican party with some ele-
ments of the electorate supposed by
democrats to be Objectionable The
democratic managers assume that the
people will believe that this horrid COM
bine of everything from bayonet showers
at the breast of labor to purchasers of

Yesterday the democratic managers
were encouraged over the reports
that the German vote in Indiana was
drifting back to Cox. The republican
managers point out that last night
Gov. Cox included the Germans with
the sixteen other undesirable classes
Of alleged capturers and purchasers of
the republican party.
In Indiana the German vote will de-
termine the election. The republican
managers want to know whether the
German vote will resent being classed
with the villains of the play and
solidify against Cox for his charges,
or whether they will take heed of his
warning and come away from those
bad boys in the republican party and
join the democratic Sunday school
class.

bers on many automobiles are not

Captains of police were instructed
to have members of their commands

policemen-strictly enforce the regu-
lations regarding numbers and lamps,
as well as all other traffic laws.
The regulations require automobiles
to be equipped with two front lights
so as to show a white light visible
for a distance Of 200 feet. They require
owners of automobiles to keep the
District license tags. clean, unbent
and unchanged, and the rear tag
must be flooded with light so as tc
make it plainly discernible at dis
lance of at least forty feet at night.
