ROADS START EFFORT
TO REDUCE DAMAGES

SAVANNAH, April 28.-Rail-
ways in the southeast have joined
forces in a campaign to prevent
rough handling of cars with the
consequent loss and damage to
freight and equipment.
At a recent conference inAtlanta
concerted action was agreed upon
and committee was formed with
G. L. Gambler, Assistant General
Manager of the Central of Geor-
gia Railway, as Chairman. The
committee is proceeding actively to
carry out resolutions that call for
an educational campaign to instruct
employees as to the Importance cf
proper handling of cars; to arrange
schedules so as to allow time for
handling in yards and in switch
ing; and to instruct agents to use
special care in loading and slowing
freight.
This move not only tends to con
serve railway revenues by the pre-
vention of loss but is to the inter
est of the shipping public in thai
1t will go far toward securing the
delivery of freight in the same con-
dition that it leaves the point of
origin.

Valuable minutes

In the few minutes required to run your eye
over these advertising columns, YOU may
learn of something that will serve your con-
venience for years.
Rather valuable few minutes!
You aren't spending time when you are read
ing advertisements. You are saving both
time and money. Each day advertisers help
you to compare values and prices They tell
you where you can secure the best and most
serviceable at lowest cost.
Advertised goods are more dependable than
goods unadvertised. They must be exactly as
claimed. They can't afford to be otherwise.
Make daily habit of reading the advertise
ments. 1t pays you and it pays the merchant
who advertises in YOUR daily paper, for
newspaper advertising is the cheapest and
most efficient form of advertising known to
the commercial world.

Opinions of Others
AsKOv COMMUNITY, STATE
AND NATIONAL POLITICS

November election is at hand.
Some voters are wondering how
our community will vote this
year. In former years the vote
was almost entirely Democratic
as far as the national ticket was
concerned, while the state and
county tickets were never strict
ly followed, / suppose, for the
reason that the voters have more
of a personal acquaintance and
knowledge of the different can
didates at home, and in this way
voted for the men regardless of
party lines. In later years there
has been a drift from the Dem
ocratic ticket; the Republican
ticket has probably made some
gain, but the drift has been in
favor of the labor party tickets,
the so-called Farm-Labor.
What is the reason for this?
Do the farmers and businessmen
of this locality expect better le-
gislation from this new Farm-La-
Dor movement? Is labor not so
interested at the present time in
its own affairs-high wages, that
the extremely difficult conditions
of the farmer is of minor import

such we feel that he should re-
eeive a splendid vote by Pine
county citizens.
There are no contests for the
county offices of Judge of probate
and clerk of court, the present
incumbents being the only ones
TO file. In the Second. Fourth
and Fifth commissioner districts
the voters are to select men TO
fill those places. Those candi-
dates are in most cases near
enough neighbors so that the
voters are personally acquainted
with them and it is a matter of
selecting men who are best fitted
by experience and who will give
their entire district a fair deal.
As a resident Of this immediate
community and a man Of exper-
fence it will be only natural that
Fred Degefstrom, candidate for
commissioner in the Fourth dis
trict, receives splendid vote
here.
Above all turn out and vote,
men and women alike. and ex-

northumberland would eventually

II the taking over Of the iron
mines by the government with
the result that people up on the
Iron Range would have to pay
fair taxes like we do in other
parts of the state, would eventu-
ally pauperize the iron towns, we
say they ought to be pauperized.
The more the iron mines and
ore are taxed the more we pay
for iron, that is only natural. The
tonnage tax is not so bad because
that is spread over the state and
aids the entire state. but the To-
cal real estate tax of the mines
is what enables them to build
million dollar school houses on
the Range, pave streets, main
tain regular white-ways of cleo
trical lights and in other ways
use money freely. All users of
iron pay for it. Too much local
taxation of mines is not healthy.
The income tax is perhaps the
best way of getting at taxing
those corporations, especially if
there was no other taxation on
mines in any part of the coun-
try.
We are not for government
ownership but the "pauperizing
of the iron towns" seems a poor
argument against it.

dominating candidates. Through

very important appropriations
committee. born and raised on

he has become eminently fitted

man of power. backbone and
vision His opponent is a city
man, born and raised there and
we doubt very much that he has
the experience and vision that
would fit him to be the chief
state executive as has Mr.. Chris
Hanson.
There are two Of the present
state officials whom we consider
able and efficient men and in
whom we believe the voters will
make no mistake in returning to
office. The one is Mike Holm,
secretary Of state. under whose
department came the big task of
automobile registration. There
is a mountain of work especially
the first few months Of each
year, but il has been handled
with dispatch. Mr.. Holm is eff

the state treasurer. who halls
from Mora. Mr.. Rines has been
in politics for many years and

For congress it seems that our
district might be well represent

Some fears have been expressed
that Brewer is too radical. In
his two talks here at Askov we
haven't heard him say anything
that would cause anxiety. He is
a brainy man and well posted on
the issues of the day.
For Judge Of district court
Michael b. Hurley and Alfred P.
Stolberg are likely about equal
ly we'll fitted for the office. They
are nearly the same age and have
about an equal amount of ex-
perience. They are both of ma
ture judgment. Mr.. Hurley was
born and raised in Pine City and
is a real Pine county product. As
