Filed at Once

Several local business concerns
have not yet filed their report on
form 1099," which report is for
the purpose of reporting to the gov
ernment the names and amount in
case 81 900 or more was paid to any
individual or concern during the
last year, according to James A.
German, Of the internal revenue de-
partment, who is temporarily locat-
ed at the Chamber of Commerce Of
flee.
GAS this report must be in Wash
ington by March 49," Mr.. German
said today, cit is highly important
that those who have paid this am
cunt of money to anyone during
the last year attend to the report at
once. Failure to make the report
on time subjects the individual to a
severe fine.

SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL.

Newspaper dispatches from all
parts of the country show increas.
ing use of fuel oil in homes, apart.
ment houses, factories and public
buildings, instead of coal.
For several years the public has
been subjected to a periodical coal
strike with resulting hardships from
'ack of fuel and unreasonable prices.
The public interest in the coal in
dustry has apparently been lost sight
of by both the operators and the
miners.
The day when lack of coal can
cripple a whole nation is drawing to
a close. The public is sick and tired
of the annual outrage.
Electricity, fuel oil and gas are
the coming substitutes for coal in
the average home and factory.
Public utility plants operated by
coal, will use oil or operate their
own mines to the great advantage
of the public.
Coal mining will get the same les
SON that is eventually melted out to
any industry that in it's operation
loses sight of the public interest. A
substitute that gives better service
will take its place.

THE LAWMAKlNG MANIA.

Uncle Sam is afflicted with the
lawmaking disease. His case is the
worst in the history of the world.
The output is so large the law
Libraries cannot house it, the law
yers cannot digest or assimilate it.
1t is said to be "a fact that the
AZ state legislatures enact more laws
than are even proposed by five great
nations.
The ratio before the war was
fifty new laws in our country to one
by any great nation of Europe.
1t takes $50 large volumes to
hold in printed form the Supreme
Court opinions on questions of con-
stitutionality.
The law library of Columbia
University contains 100000 volumes
and increases at rate of 5000 year.
Why not stop manufacturing so
many laws, try enforcing some of
them and repeal some of the others?
A smaller legislative output would
be an evidence of political sanity.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL MOVE
MENTS.

Probably the greatest movements
ever inaugurated in our country
for stabilizing finance and utility
properties are the establishment OF
labor banks and customer owner
ship utilities.
In many of the large cities, large
labor organizations have become
controlling stockholders in national
banks, and members of unions not
only own shares but are swelling
the deposits into millions.
On the other line, the customer
ownership of utilities, starting in
June, 1914, has been extended to
100000 citizen stockholders in
electricity, telephone and gas cor
porations.
Individuals in this large number
not only share in the dividends and
interest distribution of these large
utility public Organizations, but have
invested $900,000,000 this year in
new securities.
Customer ownership financing has
been the salvation of these public
service industries, supplying the
new capital necessary for extensions
and improvements.
Some great railroad companies
such as Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe and oil and
sugar companies, have extended
their lists of stockholders by selling
their common stock to the men and
women on their payrolls on the in

stallment plan.
By thus welding the interests Of
their employees, customers and the
general public as a link in their fin
ancial existence, there is developing
an asset of wonderful value and a
system of profit sharing that is
based upon sound principles.

A paper published at Jordan,
Mimi. known as the Peoples Weekly
comes out with this glazing bit OF
Political philosophy: "The Swedes,
Norwegians and Germans make up
he bulk of the population of this
tate. The Swedes have Magnus
Johnson, the Norwegians Henrik
Shipstead and Wen all support them
in the future as in the past. Now
we want to invite the Swedes and
Norwegians to join us this time in
Importing DR.. L. A. Fritsche for

Sure! When the peoples of those
nations came to this country they
signed promisory notes payable at
once stating they would be Ameri-
cans and renowned all allegiance to
the Princes, Potentates, Kings,
Queens, Kaisers and other dignitar-
les of the nations they left. Why
not give Americans a show? Min
nesota seems to be blessed with
numerous places in which the citi-
zens still act and feel that they are
a part of Norway, Sweden, Ger
many, Austria, Finland and Russia.

nounced and just before election
