dxpdye Decide
on Paving at Once
MEETING OF CITIZENS Fpsota
EVENING SHOWS TH,A.s,tc ora.
is TIME FOR IMPRO, ~

A meeting, attended by eighty citi-
zens of Redwood Falls was held at
the Courthouse last Friday evening,
and it was the sentiment of the as
sembly that the contemplated paw
ing should be done during the follow
ing season. without any further wait
ing for drop in prices.
At the request of Mayor Smith and
the other members of the City Coun-
ell Engineer L. H. Wolf of St. Paul
addressed the meeting, explaining the
paving project with the drainage and
lighting system incident to it. His
talk was clear, concise and under
standable and mado very clear the en-
tire matter of the work of preparation
for paving, the cost and the ultimate
benefit which the city would derive
from the paving of several blocks.
Some of the taxpayers were some
what opposed to the project at first,
stating that the cost of labor and ma
terial made the price of paving practi-
cally prohibitive at this time. How
ever it was made clear by Mr. Wolf,
and by the discussion which followed
his talk, that prices are unlikely to
drop materially for several years, that
the city needed immediate paving In
order to stop the expense of the up
keep of the streets as well as to fur
ther the convenience and comfort of the
Icitizens, and that the expense will be
| in no sense a burden to the property
holders since the cost of paving may be
divided into twenty payments if sc
desired, and only small portion OF
| it would thus have to be paid eacf
year.
Following the discussion Mayor
Smith asked for vote from the prop.
erty owners who would be affected By
the paving, upon the motion whethe,
| it was desirable that the Council pro.
ceed with the paving at this time
Thirty EIGHT voted in the affirmative
and five were against the proceedurs
at present. This was such a cordia
endorsement Of the plans that it i.
highly probable that the Council vii
proceed to carry out the plans as the,
have been carefully mapped out.

Dodge County
Seat Unchanged
MANTORVs4sLE REMAINS SEAT
OF DODGE COUNTY IN SPITE
OF WORKdOFONE Mex ENZIE

The Minneapolis Journal of last Fri
day, January 9, contained the follow
ing item which will be of interest to
the many residents of Redwood County
who have been following with interest
the removal of -the-county -seat con-
test in Dodge County.
"Mantorville retains the county seat
of Dodge county as result of the
special election conducted yesterday
on the question of removing the coun
ty seat to Dodge Center. The total
vote cast was 3,114, the biggest ever
polled in the county. Unofficial r.
turns give Mantorville 1905 an'
Dodge Center 1,208, or sos short of
the necessary 55 per cent to change the
county seat. IA
The election yesterday brings to a
close one of the hardest and longest
drawn out political battles in Dodge
county. Both factions made a thor
ough canvass Of the county. The
original petition calling for the special
election was filed last March but was
| thrown out by the county board on {
checkup on signatures. A second
tition was filed last November.
dodge Center made bid for the
lcounty seat on its central location Ir
the election nine precincts went fo
Matorville and eight for Dodge Cen
/ ter. Kasson, the biggest city in th'
county, voted strong for Mantorville :
The campaign manager of the
Dodge Center campaign was Claude
Mckenzie of Gaylord who is more OIL
less known in Redwood County 1t is
a great satisfaction also to Redwood
County to know that Charles Knox OF
Lamberton, who was so effective ii
| his management of the Redwood Falls
campaign in the recent local contro-
lversy, was the assistant of Mantorville
workers in the last strenuous weeks
of tho campaign just closed. While
unlike Mr. Mckenzie, Mr.. Knox dee.
not make a speciality of county seat
| fights" he is the type to which real
leaders belong and his work is base
upon cleanness and integrity which
| are bound to make it win out in ths
/ long run. While Mr.. Knox medestly
disclaims any share in the credit foi
| the Mantorville victory, his Redwood
County friends feel that undoubtedly
his work and advice counted for con
siderable in the ultimate success.

Total 26 Per Cent
Increase.

Additional increases in express rates
averaging 1875 per cent were approved,
Friday by the Interstate Commerce Com,
mission. The increases, which apply to
class and commodity rates, make a to-
tai increase in express rates Of 26 per
cent within the last few months.
Express companies had asked for ad-
ditional increases up to Is per cent to-
offset heavy wage increases. The only
exceptions made in the new rates are In
the case Of milk and cream shipments.
For the first six months Of 1920 the
express companies lost approximately
S21 ,000,0 900, according to their report to-
the commission, which showed revenues
of Sf59, 681 900 and operating expenses
of $3.50, 77S,000. During the first half OF
1919 the companies reported revenues or
s132, EOS. 900 and operating expenses of

the report said.
In announcing the rate increases the
commission said:
with the very substantial increases
in express rates, shippers have tight
to demand an improved and steadily
improved service. On our part, while at
all times ready to accord to a common
carrier that relief to which 1t may be
justly entitled, we shall not view with

painstaking and unremitting effort to
reduce the item Of loss and damage TO
the lowest possible figure"

something about it that suggests a
mixed metaphor? So. let us write it,
''the conversation struck higher

how can a conversation strike a key?
And if the Rambler should write that
the conversation was in a higher
key" you might think we talked
shrilly. 1t is really a difficult subject
and perhaps in the interest of good

it were better to write that 1.-The con-
versation became somewhat more ele-

it got to be quite high-brow.
Among the colonial notables and
notabilities Of whom we talked was
the Rev. Lee Massey. Some time after
