FL. MUST GET
SENATE CONTROL
Workers Would do Well to Look up
Record Of Lawmakers, Says
Senator Teigan.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

Old party groups have evidently be-
come resigned to the reelection of
Floyd b. Olson for governor. There
is little doubt too that they have
given up hope of electing any of the
state officials. What they are now
setting out to do is to secure con-
troll. if possible, of one or both houses
of the legislature.
Farmer-Laborites are not so much
concerned over the outcome in the
House. They have feeling that they
will have comparatively little diff
Guilty in electing majority of Farm
er-Laborites and Liberals to the lower
body. They are, however, it must be
admitted, not so sanguine as to VIC
tory in the Senate. While the old
party margin in the 1888 session was
not large, it was sufficient to obstruct
the Governors program in many ways
and to hold the lines for Big Business
in general.
Seven Senators Get Zero.
1t is we'll that the voters Of the
state should know something of the
record of their senators. They can
better Judge their qualifications and
their eligibility for reelection when
they know how they have performed
in the past.
OF the old Senators who are seek
ing reelection, seven, according to
the record published in the Farmer
Labor Leader some time ago, received
zero marks. These senators were:
Elmer E. Adams of Otter Tail, Mil
ton C. Lightner of Ramsey, Claude
Mckenzie of Sibley, D. D. Murphy of
Faribault, A. ]. Rockne of Goodhue,
William L. Roepke of Rice, and E. D.
Smith of Pope.
AS stated above, these seven sena-
tors are candidates for reelection.
1t is only reasonable to conclude that
if reelected they will continue to
perform in the 1885 session as they
have performed during the past two
sessions.
Others Bat Near Zero.
Then there is another group of sem
ators whose records are quite on a
par with those who received the zero
rating. They and their percentage
rating are as follows:
C. E. Adams, st. Louis, 1870; Will
liam B. Anderson, Hennepin, 1870;
H. H. Bonniwell of Mcleod, $50;
Roy Crowley, Watonwan, $50; Blake
Fisk, Wabasha, 1870; H. c. Hanson of
Carlton, 1870; H. A. Larson of Fill
more, 1870; Grovernor D. McCubrey
of Clay, $50; Robert G. Marshall of
Hennepin, 1870; Charles N. Orr of
Ramsey. $3.50; George H. Sullivan of
Washington, 300; ]. V. Weber of Muir
ray, 300; and Walter P. Wolfe of
Hennepin, 1870.
The workers in the Farmer-Labor
movement who are DESTROYS of aid
ing the party in electing a Farmer
Labor Legislature would do well to
familiarize themselves with the rec
ord and program of the senators and
representatives who are now candi-
dates for reelection. The administra-
ton is highly DESTROYS of electing a
progressive legislature with as high a
percentage of FarmerLaborites as it
is possible to elect.

BeIk Starts Suit For
Recovery Of Taxes

A disptach from Raleigh says
Belk, department store owners, has
begun an action against Commits
sioner Maxwell for the refunding
of taxes enormously collected al
that they were charged on
the basis of some forty-six stores
in the state whereas, as a matter of
fact, they only owned four and
should be charged for only, those
four. Belk alleged in the complaint
that chain store ownership for this
special tax should apply only to
two stores in Charlotte, one in
Mooresville and n in Kings
which are run under one
corporate charter. The amount of
recovery sued for is $3.50.
Mr.. Harry Padkett, manager of
the Statesville Belk store, stated
to a Record reporter that all of the
.elk stores except the four named
were chartered separately and that
The system did not believe that they
came within the purview of the
statute, hence the effort to recover

THE newest development in rail-
L way transportation - stream
lined, lightweight, stainless steel
equipment - promises to provide
employment for many thousands of
men in the very near future, in the
opinion of Edward G. Budd, presi-
dent of the Edward G. Budd Manu-
featuring Co., Of Philadelphia. Be-
fore the end of the year 500 addi-
tional men will have been employed
by the Budd Co. as the result of an
order for a lightweight, stainless
steel train from the Boston and
Maine railroad, and orders for two
additional Zephyrs from the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad.
The Burlington's first Zephyr,
which recently startled the entire
nation into a consciousness that
something new and dramatic was
taking place in railway develop
ment, is now recognized as the
worlds fastest train. 1t is, of course,
also the lightest, weighing only one
eighth as much per passenger as the
typical overland train.
An indication of its comparative
speed may be gained from the fol-
lowing illustration: Starting stimuli
taneously with one of our fastest
overland trains, the stream-lined,
stainless steel Zephyr will be six
miles ahead by the time both have
reached a speed of 80 miles an hour.
The first Zephyr, which made it's
phenomenal dawn-to-dusk run from
Denver to Chicago in thirteen hours
and five minutes is now on exhibit
ton at A Century of Progress in
Chicago: Later it will be placed in
service between Lincoln, Nebr. and
Kansas City, Mo.

Federal government is anticipated
by the railroads of this country, and

$50 Funmakers
With Huge Circus

Ringing Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey combined Circus, truly The
Greatest Show on Earth, making
its grand and glorious 1884 tour of
the continent and definitely
scheduled to exhibit in Charlotte
Monday Oct. p has assembled
from the four corners of the earth
and points in between-the
greatest aggregation of clowns in
all amusement history.
One hundred and fifty interna-
tionally-famous funmakers cavort
and caper about the seven rings
and stages and the huge hippod-
rome track this year in the most
%stupendous circus presentation ever
offered.
Clowns have always been an
important part of the circus and
the amusement world was amazed
and delighted when an even hun
dred of them were brought to-
gether for the first time by Ringing
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. But
when $50 of the funniest clowns
imaginable were placed on the same
program in a simultaneous display
this spring, the enthusiasm of Cir
cus-goers knew no bounds.
! The big show, however, has a
jealously guarded reputation. for
doing the new and unheard-of and
there is evidence of this through
out its gigantic new performances
this season.
Besides the clowns, there are 800
men and women arenic stars of in
ternational eminence, many of
them touring the America con-
tinent for the first time.
Several of the producing clowns
have introduced splendid ideas into
this years all new and greatly en-
larged opening spectacle, The Dur
bar of Delhi in which more thar
1000 people and animals take part.
The Durbar heads a list of features
newly assembled that will compel
the vast 1884 program to be re-
called with deep pleasure for a life
time.
Among them is a great new con-
gress of the worlds foremost &C
robatic champion leapers and some
saulters presented together in the
most amazing athletic contest ever
witnessed and a series of thrilling
innovations including a startling
new sensation presented by the

Protect Winter Grain
Insect Damage

Carbon disulphide or carbon te-
trachloride may be used effectively
to kill insects in stored grain this
winter, says C. H. Brannon, extern
sion entomologist at State College.
A barrel or other container which
can be made air tight will be suit
able. Fill the barrel with grain,
pour in half a cupful of the chemi-
cal, then fasten two thickness of
heavy wrapping paper on the bar
rel top. If the seed is heavily in
tested, a full cup of the disulphide
or tetrachloride may be used.
After two or three days, examine
the seed. If any Insects are still a.
live, repeat the process. The seed
should be kept in air tight contain
ers until ready to plant, or insects
will reinfest it. When ready to
plant, spread out on the floor and
the gas will evaporate in a short
time.
Storage bins may be used to treat
seed in large quantities if the bins
are fairly air tight. Twenty pounds
of the disulphide will be enough
for each 1000 cubic feet of space
in the bin. After pouring it on the
seed, cover with sacks to help hold
in the gas.
The treatment should be applied
in the middle of the day when the
temperature is warmest, as greater
efficiency is obtained at Is degrees
or higher.
! Air slasked lime may also be used
to treat grains for insects. In
treating quantities of seed, equal
parts of lime and seed may be used.
For small amounts, the ratio Of
lime should be larger than hat of
the seed, Brannon advises.

tainty that there will be a revival
of interest in rail transportation
unprecedented since the days when
the railway pioneers were making
history. The railroad equipment Of
the future will undoubtedly be
patterned along the lines of the
Zephyr-self-powered trains which
permit a maximum Of speed with
a minimum of operating cost. These
stainless steel trains can carry $50
persons 1000 miles and still burn
less than $500 worth of crude oil.
Overall operating costs, including
fixed charges, L one-half that of
commensurate steam service.
1t is the opinion of Ralph Budd,
president of the Burlington, that
from now on railroad identification
will mean a matter of mounting
the power plant on the train itself
instead of the generating station
being possibly a hundred or more
miles away. Bringing the power
plant and traction motors close to-
gether in this way eliminates energy
transmission and transformations,
removes the need for trolley or
third rail contacts and allows the
primary generation of low-voltage
direct current which presents simple
problems of control"
An interesting coincidence in con-
nection with the country's first high
speed stainless steel train is that it
was ordered, practically speaking,
by a railroad head named Budd
from an industrial leader named
Budd. Ralph Budd, head of the
Burlington, and Edward G. Budd,
head of the Budd Manufacturing
Co, are not related, although an
impression seems to prevail that
they are brothers. As a matter of
fact, they first met several years
ago when the railroad president
came to Philadelphia to inspect
stainless steel train construction.
