ruled easier, especially for spring

side, with so many glowing crop re-

fortunate legislative measures dis
couraging the speculative. interests,
which should now serve as a balance

into the market in a big way as they
are certain to do sooner or later, L. is
likely that interests will revive and
turn prizes toward higher level.

The earliest tribes did not need
money because no individual in the
tribe owned anything personally. All
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person.
Later on when the tribes met there
arose the custom Of barter or trade,
the simplest form of which was the
exchange OF articles possessed By one
tribe for chose owned by another. For

REVISE THE WOOD RATES

Definite action by the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse commission in revising the present high
rates for the transportation of fuel timber can not
come second too soon. To serve the needs OF TINS
part of the state there must be- sharp reduction
in these freight costs.
The time that these rates are needed IS rlghe
now Had they been in effect this winter means
Of employment would have been provided many
farmers whose axes now are kept dull because they
know they can not handle the fire wood at profit:
It is little difficult to understand the attitude
of the railroads in reference to the problem. WIN
out exception, the transportation companies nave
indicated desire to cooperate to the fullest eS
tent in any movement that will tend to clear up
our lands and get them to work as profitable FARMS
which, of course, would mean more populat'on'
more goods to carry, more crops to haul
In many ways the railroads have taken an active
and. Of course, important part in the development
work now going on here. So it seems more case
of negligence than anything else that has caused
the delay in granting freight rates on those COM
modities that can be sold only when the rates are
low, and the movement of which means so much
to the rapid development Of the territory served by
the railroads. $50
Perhaps at public hearing the sentiment for
these reductions and necessity for the reductions,
will be brought home with such overwhelming force
that the railroads will be jolted into action =
If the proposition must be argued out on us
merits so that the state commission will be in a
position to promugate order establishing a low
CIR rate, then, by all means, let's get started. Inc
entire affair has been hanging fire much too long.
This part Of the state is in no frame OF mind to
permit the unnecessary further delay Of III condl-
ton that is working positive hardship on its pco-
pie and especially in view of the apparent con-
elusive evidence that everyone, the railroads IN
Guided, will share in the activity that will mark the
establishment of Il rate that will mean that these
forest products can be handled at a profit to the
men who do the work Of handling them. 7
As the matter stands now, it is in the hands Of
the Railroad and Warehouse commission, and the
attitude of that body indicates that it will offer US
