Central Europe. as an outcome of the
war, has not been settled by any
means. although little is heard of the
doubtful state of affairs outside of the
immediate regions affected. New
boundary lines have been run through

INTRODUCE RAIL MERGER BILL

Winsiow Offers Measure to Effect
Consolidation of Roads in U. S.
Washington railroad consolida-
ton bill was introduced by Chairman
Winslow of the House commerce com
mittee.
The bill would declare it the policy
of Congress to authorize and bring
about the unification of the country's
railroads into number of strong and
efficient systems. These would, as
far as practicable, maintain existing
routes and preserve competition. The
properties of the carriers in each sys-
tenn would ultimately be managed and
operated and owned or controlled by
a single corporation.

DROP CASES OF 200 SETTLERS
Northern Minnesotans Accused of
$4,000, 900 Fraud.


Washington, D. C.-Prosecution was
dropped in the cases of more than
200 northern Minnesota settlers, ac-
cused by the United States depart
ment of justice of having filed fraudu-
lent claims aggregating $2,000,000 for
damages in the 100000 forest fires
which cost more than 400 lives in Oc-
tober. 1918. Factors before the gov
eminent in reaching its decision in
cluded later modification of claims by
many of the claimants and lack of
evidence.
Final details in the cases are to be
disposed of by the department of JUS
tice at Washington, in the next two
weeks. Difficulties faced by the de-
partment in connection with the cases
we're enhanced by the fact that Off
Gals who directed the investigation
have left the service.

Wheat and Corn Lead Upward Swing
Others Near Records.
Minneapolis - A general upward
sweep on the American markets in
response to weather conditions and
foreign demand carried wheat and
corn up to new records for the last
four years. All other grains partici-
pated in the sharp increases in prices.
Improved foreign demand and sharp
advances on Argentine markets stimu-
lated the wheat market to rises of
from two to threes cents at high, and,
although there was slight recession
at closing, the final quotations for the
day remained well above the figures
of Saturdays close. May wheat
reached $1.65A, the highest price paid
this year on any wheat market in the
United States, in Chicago.

Condensed Resume of the Important
Events In the Nation and State.
High Lights of President
Coolidge's Nev Message

Washington - High lights In
President Coolidge's annual mes
sage were:
The nation holds a position UNI
surpassed in all former human ex-
perience.
If we will apply ourselves indus
triously and honestly, we have am
pie powers with which to meet our
problems and provide for their
speedy solution.
Perhaps the most important work
that this session of congress can
do is to continue policy of econ
omy and further reduce the cost OF
government, in order that we may
have a reduction of taxes for the
next fiscal year.
Anybody can reduce taxes, but 1t
Is not so easy to stand in the gap
and resist the passage OF increas-
ing appropriation bills which would
make tax reduction impossible.
At no period In the past IL years
have our foreign relations been in
such satisfactory condition as
they are at the present time.
Everyone knows that the great
need of the farmer is markets. The
country is not suffering on the side
of production. Almost the entire
difficulty is on the side of distribu-
ton.
Consolidation (of railroads) will
assure not only greater element
of competition as to service but 1t
will afford economy of operation,
greater stability in railroad earn
inss and more economical financ-
ing.
Any nation undertaking to main
tain a military establishment with
aggressive and imperiaiistic de-
signs will find itself severely handi-
capped In the economic develop
ment of the world.
believe In economy in the army
and navy, in adequate defense and
preparation, but am opposed to
any policy of competition in build
ing and maintaining land or sea
ornaments.
The situation In our own country
and all over the world is one that
can be accomplished by hard work
and seIfdenial.
Our country wants no
pretense, it wants no vagaries. 1t
is determined to advance in an or
derby, sound and common sense
way. 1t does not propose to aban-
don the theory of the declaration
that the people have inaIienabIe
rights which no majority and no
power of government can destroy.
1t is convinced that it will be i'm
possible for the people to provide
their own government unless they
continue to own their own prop
erty.
] want the people of all the earth
to see in the American flag the
symbol of a government which In
tends no oppression at home and
no aggression abroad, which in the
spirit of common brotherhood
provides assistance in time of dis
tress.

"pIcKLED AGAIN.

The Pine County (Willow
River) Farmer George Bris-
bane. who is managing the local
pickle factory. opened the plant
for business Monday. The pros
pect Of a bumper crop Of cucum-
bers has been knocked out by the
unfavorable weather conditions
Of the past month, but start has
been made in what should be a
profitable industry here"
As 20 the profitable industry"
part we have our doubts. Some
say that where there is a large
family Of children and conse-
quently some cheap help il is all
right to raise cucumbers but that
a man cannot make wages pick
ing them. About three years ago
the pickle stations at Hinckley
and Sandstone closed down and
would not accept any more Of the
product right in the midst of the
season on account Of being flood
ed. That was the year when
Hinckley and Sandstone farmers
had a bumper crop and their ex-
perience will long be remem-
bered. Pickle stations were.
closed many other places that
perhaps quite generally.
The two places mentioned are
only given as near examples.
Rutabagas look like a more
profitable industry here.
Should the market prices on
those not be good they can be
fed to live stock with good re-
suits.

statement addressed to the voters
of Minnesota:
Il owe my nomination not so

ton Of state departments.

ion insistent on curbing expendi-

A pay-as-you-go policy and.
where bond issues are necessary,

the farmers of Minnesota will
know that they have a governor
who understands them. because
he is one of them.
The demand for economic re-
adjustment is insistent today.
The Republican party stands for
gradual readjustment to meet
changing needs, not for revolu-
tionary readjustment involving
the overturning of the economic
order. No economic readjust-
ment is ever final, because the
with which il deals
are never fixed. but ever chang

nesota today as there was two
years ago. Most Of the people
have learned that the way to get
good government is not to smash
up the old parties. but TO make
the old parties right. Careful
discrimination in the selection Of
party candidates and care in the
building of the right kind Of
party machinery viii do more TO
give US good government than
any third party movement con-
ceived in the minds of disap-
pointed office-seekers.

The Nominees Platform.
In addressing the Lincoln club
of Minneapolis the Saturday eve
ming preceding the primary, Mr..
Christianson outlined the plat
form on which he made the sue
cessful campaign for the nomina-
tion and concluded with a strik-
ing pereration which sets forth
the essential difference between
the two political groups in Min
nesota which will contest for SUI
premacy this fall. Mr.. Christian
son declared:
Relief from a tax burden
local, state and national-which
has grown TO such proportions in
recent years as to be rapidly

of private property by the state

campaign and the subject of

What Party Stands for.
The Republican party has al
ways stood. and must ever stand.
for equality of opportunity; but
equality of opportunity does not
imply either equal distribution
or communistic ownership of
wealth. II implies an equitable
distribution. one based, not on
the accident of birth or on power
possessed through monopolistic
control of resources, but on the
capacity Of each individual for
service. In any society, some
men by virtue of greater fore
sight, more talents and better
self-eontrol. viii acquire more
property than others. The labor
of some men IS more productive
than that of others. The Repub-
lican party does not stand for the
idea that every man shall occupy
the same social station. have the
same bank account and live in
the same kind of house as every
other man. But. emphatically, it
stands for the idea that to every
man shall be open the door of the
same opportunity. That was the
idea of that stalwart Republican.

clared that while European So
ciety is stratified like the rocks
in the earth. ours is stratified like
