BANQUET AT LINDSTROM. j..

tains 81 Representatives
From Princeton.
Last Friday evening the members
Of the Masonic lodge in Lindstrom
banqueted their brother Masons from
North Branch, Taylors Falls and
Princeton The banquet was served
at the Penisular hotel and about 120
guests were present. The Masons in
Lindstrom certainly know how to en-
terrain and their guests after their
drive were in good condition to do full
justice to the delicious banquet served
them. Alfred Melin, who is well
known here in Princeton, was toast
master and he filled that position ad-
nirably.
This was the first time that some of
our business men had ever visited in
Lindstrom and it is needless to remark
that the impressions which they re-
ceived were exceedingly favorable.
Affairs like this banquet do much to
promote good community spirit and
also friendly relations between the
neighboring towns. The members of
the Masonic lodge in Princeton will
doubtless some day reciprocate and
at that time they hope to furnish as
good an entertainment as did their
friends in Lindstrom.
The following Masons from Prince
ton attended the banquet: Swan o.

Mossman, M. Axe, Bob Berry, Chas.

of several republicans on the ways and
means committee but it will meet stiff
opposition in both houses.
The effect would be to put the bill
into effect before it received any con-
sideration by the house. To do this,
however, it would be necessary to pass
the Longworth resolution through both
houses, and have it signed by, the
president. Mr.. Longworth would have
importers give bonds to cover the
tariff duties during this period, which
would be refunded when the exact du-
ties were determined upon final enact
ment of the permanent bill.

Agreement Reached on Tariff Bill.


Washington, May 18.-The confer
ence report on the Young farmers
emergency tariff bill was agreed to to-
day by the house and senate con-
ferees, practically in the form in which
the senate had approved the bill. The
most notable exception was in the case
of the amendment, extending war con-
troll over the dye industry, the life of
this being shortened to three months
instead of six, as originally proposed.
The bill will be reported Friday. Sen
ator Pcnrosc, chairman of the finance
committee, said he believed the bill
would become law this week rs re
intended to bring the conference -e-
port up for action in the senate at
once. A similar course will be fol-
lowed by the house confcrees.
Slight notifications were made in
the anti-dumping and valuation fea-
lures, but Senator Penros, said these
were immatc1ial and largely clerical.
'The senate agreed to Zee change in
the time of enforcing che dye provis-
ion," Senator Penrose said, Gin the be-
lief that it would go long way to-
ward mitigating opposition, which
otherwise it seemed might arise.
"In my Judgment the bill will be
approved in both branches of congress
and signed by the president. It ought
to become a law this week."
Asked when the permc cnt tariff
bill would reach the senate, Senator
Penroce expressed the belief that it
would be reported to the house in from
two to three weeks, according to the
statement Of Representative Fordney
chairman of the ways and means com.
mittec, that the house would pass it
July /, and that the senate could get
it through without great delay.
Senator Penrose announced also that
unless further applications for reve-
nue. hearings were received by the
finance committee, their inquiry would
close one week from todcy. Further
testimony is to be taken on the sales
tax, income taxes, and the taxes on
soft drinks and similar items.
A proposal that the higher tariff du-
ties in the permanent tariff bill nov
being framed by the house ways and
means committee be made immediate.
ly effective upon the reporting of the
bill by the committee was made by a
resolution introduced in the house to.

sions. Mr.. Longworth, one of the re-
publican leaders of the house, de-
clared that the need for higher tariff
duties was so urgent that they should
be made effective as soon IS possible.
His plan is said to have the approval

from the ruling of the treasury that
ore lands on the Mesaba range pur-
chased for 100000 in 1914 must be
returned in the 1917 report at $10,-

difference. The opinion sustained this
ruling.

EACH CoMMUNITY's DUTY.

The explosion of quantity Of fire
works stored in building in con
gested part of the city of Chicago,
causing the death of eight persons and
the injury of many more, illustrates
that despite the supposedly marked ad
vance made in conduct of municipal af
fairs there are marked relapses now and
then in supervision. Chicago has ordi-
nances and regulations prohibiting the
storage of fireworks within certain
areas, and they are reasonable ordi-
nances and regulations too. Yet here
was an instance where the prohibition
was fagrantly violated without inter
ference until catastrophe revealed
that violation had occurred I'm
doubtedly there are scores, if not hun
dreds of other cases of similar viola
ton in that city, while in other COM
munities, even of the smaller class,
there are proportionately as many as
in Chicago Our ordinances and regu-
lations may be all right, but they
amount to nothing if not lived up to
rigidly. In the case of Chicago the fire
works explosion might easily have re-
suited in tremendous destruction of
property through the spread of flames
and it might have eyentuated also in
wholesale loss of life. 1t was in part
a mater Of good fortune that Chicago
did not have another great fire like
the confagration just fifty years ago,
when property valued at sl90000,000
was wiped out, nearly 10000 buildings
consumed, 100000 people made home
less and 200 people killed. With the
of that great calamity
still held in the memory of many OF
its inhabitants it might have been ex
pected that Chicago would be more
careful of the causes which lead up to |
such disasters. The fireworks explo.
sion was but a gentle reminder of Chi |
lagos duty. Also it was a reminder
Of the duty of every community.
