Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission Define
New Truck Law.

The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission is receiving daily
numerous inquiries as to the recently
enacted truck regulatory law This law
provides for regulation by the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission of all con-
tract carrier freight operators who af-
ford service beyond radius of IS
miles fom their place of residence.
The act applies also to common carrier
freight operators outside of the 35-
mile zone who are not subject to the
provisions of Chapter 1876, Laws of 1925.
Upon payment of $500 fee for the
first vehicle operated and $3.50 fee
for each additional vehicle, permit Is
granted by the Commission expiring
December 31st of each calendar year.
Interstate. as well as interstate op-
orators, are subject to the provisions of
the new act. The Commission has full
power to fix minimum rates for the
transportation of property and to pro-
vide rules and regulations for the safe
operation of motor vehicles as to lights,
brakes, etc. The Commission also has
power to supervise the method of load
ing or packing of merchandise, and to
require the filing of reports as to
tonnage handled. earnings and expense

quire the filing of public liability and
indemnity insurance and to fix the
hours Of service of drivers with a L.
hour service maximum.
No operator shall transport property
owned in whole or in part except

STRICT FOR
FOREST WORK
Requirements Rather Strict for
Enrolment In the Forest
Conservation Army.

Only unemployed youths, between the
ages of Is and Is receiving public aid
and having dependents are eligible for
enrolment among the first $4,000 men
being accepted in the Presidents un-
employment relief reforestation pro-
gram.
Minnesota's quota Is being distributed
among local relief agencies through the
state board Of control working with the
department of labor, according to an
article appearing in the current issue
of The Minnesota Legionnaire, official
publication of the Minnesota depart
ment Of the American Legion.
All selections are being made from
lists of those who, because of prolonged
unemployment, have been receiving
public relief.
The actual enrolment of Minnesotans
for federal emergency conservation
work Is under the general supervision
of the state board of control which has
assumed the responsibility at the re-
quest of the United States department
Of labor, F. M. Rarig, Jr., supervisor of
relief for the board of control, states.
THE purpose of the program is two
fold" Mr.. Rarig said. First, to pro-
vide employment for those in greatest
need of jobs; and secondly, to provide
for the reforestation and conservation
of our forests. In recent years, young
unmarried men have had the greatest
difficulty in obtaining either work or
relief as preference has always been
given to married men with families to
support. Consequently in the first
selection Of persons for this work, only
unmarried men between the ages of
Is and Is years will be enrolled.
Because this emergency conserva-
ton work is intended as relief meas
rre, only young men living in families
or having persons dependent upon them
and desiring to allot substantial part
of their cash allowances for the benefit
Of their families or dependents will be
accepted. The law provides that all
persons enrolled must be citizens of the
United States. Enrolment IS for a
period of six months and cash allow
ances of $50 per month will begin i'm
mediately upon formal enrolment.
Enrolment will be made through
the recognized relief agencies in each
community. The men selected for this
work in Minnesota will be taken from
the lists of families now receiving re-
lief and because it is desired to give
employment to those in greatest need,
preference will be given to young men
in families longest on relief
Examinations are now being con-
Quoted in Virginia by U. S. Army off,
Gers to fill northern Minnesota's first
contingent. The examinations for young
men from Virginia, Eveleth, Biwabik
Gilbert and Mountain Iron were held
Wednesday while those from the west
ern range cities were examined yester-
day, we have been informed by items
in the press. These same items stated
that an examination of the Tower and
Ely applicants would also be held al
though no one hereabouts seems to
know when and where.
Supervisor l.. S. Bean of the Superior
National Forest was in the city from
Duluth Tuesday and in company with
several from headquarters located the
sites for the camp in the Birch Lake
district and the camps on the Ely
Buyck Trail.

The statement of Ex-commis-
sioner w. T. Cox in another
place in this paper as to the
causes for forest fires is very
enlightening. He shows that
more fires are started by re-
creationists than are started in
the necessary land clearing,
lightning and locomotives.
Cigarette butts carelessly
Tipped into the brush caused
a large number while hunters,
berry pickers, motorists, fisher
men and others out for a good
time accounted for much the
larger part of the 2,115 fires
which destroyed over $4,000
worth of property the past
year. There was considerable
contrast in last years property
destruction over that of 1881
when more than 100000 was
chalked up against the fire
demon in the forests of the
state and shows that people
are getting more careful. We
also had more rain in 1882
than in 1881.

Now that the legislature has
adjourned, we suppose county
division will again lie dormant
until the next session when a
few interested ones will resur-
rect the dead issue to use as
a trading for votes" PROPOSE
ton. We have found few on
the Vermilion range who
thought it might be a good
thing to cut loose from the big
county seat end to the south
but the majority of those who
would be compelled to pay the
increased costs in taxes by
duplicating a set of officials and
maintaining another county
government, were not so en-
thusiastic over the division
especially after the Mesaba
range politicians had decided
on parcelling out all the plums
without as much as eff you
please" in exchange for our
votes and tax money. AS we
nave said before on several
occasions in these columns,
LAS soon as those who pay the
taxes on the ranges want
county division, the county will
be divided"
The Miner editor had several
friends in the last legislature
who were fully aware of the
whyfore of the division bill and
were not adverse to discussing
the question from their view
point. Several of them stated
that every time there was some
thing relating to st. Louis
county, exclusive of the other
SO counties of the state on tap,
someone would rush for the
dissecting tools to take the
thing apart and find what
made it go. In all too many
instances the same kind of anti
mining CUTS was found and st.
Louis county measures became
considerable of a joke. Even
the deserving ones had hard

A bit of cheering news comes
from the Embarrass valley
south of us where twenty-nine
new buildings were erected
during the past year of general
depression. This is some re-
cord and the Embarrass farm
ers are to be congratulated
most heartily. Anyone in the
business of farming the past
two years who could make a
living besides buying or build
ing something new, shows bet
ter business management than
did the captain of industry or
the merchant prince in the
majority of communities.

FEDERAL BONDS
UP AT FOREIGN
LIENS DROP

NEW YORK, Nov. IL 0.N.SJ.
A sharp rebound in United States
Governments and investment
grade loans, weakness in foreign
government obligations, and ir-
regularity in rails, were the out
standing features Of today's bond
market session.
The rally in the United States
Governments was stimulated both
by the recovery in the dollar and
reports that the Federal Reserve
was supporting the Federal list.
Treasury 3As set the pace with
q jump of more than a point,
while others made fractional ad-
vances.

PRICES OUTRUN
WAGE GAINS

Retail price increases have
more than offset wage gains for
the average worker in recent
months, as shown by figures com.
piled for the November number
of the Monthly Survey Of Bus
mess published by the American
Federation of Labor.
The individual workerS
monthly income in September is
reported 2.3 per cent below the
March level in terms Of goods he
could buy, although his dollar in
come had risen 6 per cent in the
period. In only two of the six
months, May and June, is the
average wage rise found ahead
of the price boost.
Total buying power Of all
workers is found to have in
creased through the return to
work of 100000 Of those who
were unemployed in March. Sep
TENDER buying power in terms OF
goods is reported EOS per cent
above the March figure.

NEW YORK, Nov. II 0N.S).

firm tone to the list as a whole.
Aluminium Again Strong
Aluminium was again q strong

Utilities were steady to firm,
with Electric Bond and Share

The four leading coal roads
Louisville & Nashville, Chesa-
peake & Ohio, Norfolk & West
ern and Virginian-will continue
to originate the bulk of the
country's bituminouS coal despite
shifting competitive conditions due
to NRA regulations, in the opin-
ion Of John Leeds Kerr, railroad
economist Of the investment coun-
sci firm Of Young & Ottley, Inc.
For the five-year period ending
in 1882, his analysis shows, these
carriers handled an average Of
approximately % per cent of the
nations bituminous coal traffic.
Thus far this year the average
stands at % per cent, despite
many predictions that the coal
codes would ruin the business Of
the Southern mines.
Advantages Outlined
The recent agreement on the
captive mine controversy, it was
asserted, is Of great Importance
to the Pittsburgh area, but will
not affect the traffic situation as
a whole. He explains:
'Under the industry'S code,
wages have been raised in the
South as well as the North, but
the superior quality of South.
ern coal, together with the ad-
vantages of efficient prOduc-
ton and q favorable freight
rate structure, will enable pro-
ducerS in that territory to re-
tain the markets they have
won during the last decade.
During the past month, coal
producers in Virginia shipped
their product to Baltimore and
Philadelphia for the first time
in history. This was due pri-
marily to the chaotic conditions

Recognition of Russia
Practical Problem

arrange direct trades by actually
bartering our harvesting maehin-
cry and cotton for furs and flax.
So money payments have to be
arranged. and with these 60 ques-
tons Of credit and foreign
exchange.
Three Possible Ways
Three possibilities arise:
Russia could pay us in gold.
She has considerable gold, but
she would not want to let it go
out Of the country any more
than we would. So this is hardly
practicable.
Russia could pay us in COM
moditieS in the usual way Of for
e1gn exchange, selling her prod
uctS here, getting dollars for
them, and paying this money for
our products.
She is doing this now. It should
be remembered that we are trad
ing with Russia right along. I'm
questionably, however, such trade
could be increased somewhat, and
this would be desirable.
But there are limitations.
II we get increased Russian
trade at the expense Of Germany,
England and France, these coun-
tries will either take trade away
from us in other foreign markets,
or have to reduce their own pur-
chaSeS from us.
Most Of RuSSia's chief export
products we do not want. We
have plenty Of wheat, lumber and
oil. This makes it difficult to ar
range for a balance in our trade
with her.
May Arrange Credits
Finally, Russia could possibly
arrange for credit, thus postpon-
ing payment. This is probably
what is being contemplated. 1t
seems that the chief problem in
volved in Russian trade is the
problem Of RuSsia's credit stand
ing.
Would you buy a bond issued
by the Soviet government?
The probability seems to be that
our government, if it is to recog-
niZe Russia formally, will consider
some means Of guaranteeing Rus
sian credit. It would then either
seek to have our bankers take an
issue Of Russian securities, or else
have the r. F. c. Cor some other
grouping Of the letters Of the
alphabet) take them.
This is another way to extend
the credit Of our Government, OF
to increase our public debt, anc
thus put money into circula-
ton" If that is what we want.
Whatever your Judgment of this
procedure, it would be publish
for American companies nov
carrying Russian debts and fol
exporters of machinery. electrical
equipment, railway equipment, etc
