Employers Pay up In Job
Risk Law Delinquency
Protect Workers With Accurate
Reports, Starkey
Urges

More than 5000 employers res
ponded with reports an dcontribu-
tons during the first week of the
Minnesota Unemployment Com
pensation Division statewide drive
to eliminate delinquencies for the
first quarter of this year.
This was reported by Frank T.
Starkey, member Of the Industrial
Commission in charge of the div
ision, who said that the contribu-
tons received from the employers
covered approximately $1,000 en-
ployees. The contributions included
penalty at the rate of one per cent
per month from June 1.
Commissioner Starkey urged all
employers of one or more persons
to send in reports and contribu-
tions Immediately if they have not
already reported for the first
quarter, to avoid additional inter-
est penalty. He also pointed out
that second quarter reports and
contributions are due in full by
July 81.
The commissioner advised all re-
porting employers to fill out in de-
tail their forms, to make possible
the accurate crediting of their ac-
counts and to assure their employ
es full credit in the event of UNI
employment after January 1, 1888,
when benefits will be paid to elig-
ible persons.

House, as expected. voted the sew

expected, cut the amount in two.
The upshot was a caustic criticism
of the Senate Finance Committee,
which committee slashed the

was not choice of his language and
his bitter attack left a bad i'm
preston not only on conservative
members of the Finance Commit
tee, but on several of his own par

that shattered not only many a
heart but further lowered him in
the estimation of those who know
what it is all about"
On Friday the Governor request
ed a joint session and at II o'clock
addressed the legislature. He spoke
on the Relief Bill and urged the
passage of the S17,O00,00O House
bill and berated the Senate bill
which cut the House bill in twain.
He pictured the sorry plight of the
farmer and homeowner of the
state and by indirection endeavor-
ed to impress his audience that
the Senate was playing politics
with human misery. He implored
his listeners to forget politics for
the general welfare and with ton
que still moist from these words
assailed the Steel Corporation, the
Utilities and Big Business and in
timated that those who refused to
place a confiscatory tax upon
them were mere puppets. He for
got to allude to the Senate mem
bership as being dishonest, ASSN
inc and immoral, the dignity of his
office having guided him for the
moment.
Younger Democrats of Minneso-
ia will meet at Duluth in state
convention on July 1917, and
there is more or less political buzz
around capitol corridors. The con-
vention will be a misnomer so far
as age is concerned. Sen. d. d.
Murphy, Democrat, but not so
much the Roosevelt variety, has
an invitation and will be in at
tendance and Dan is no spring
chicken. At least he makes the
boast that he hasn't missed Dem.
ocratic convention in 40 years.
Spotlight of the convention is on
Sen. Ralph Woolsey, of Melrose, an
up and coming young fellow. The
Senator is at the present state
chairman and is up for reelection.
Though he has opposition the odds
this way are way out in front in
his favor.
Embittered by the ruthless
statements of Range Senators, not
forgetting the Governor, that those
who dare to support the mining
companies against unjust taxation
are stools of the Steel corporation
and what not, the Senate Tax COM
mittee on Thursday struck out
everything in the House Iron Ore
Severance Tax bill after the enact
ing clause and inserted in lieu
thereof the Dietz-Swenson-Nelson
bill which would place all iron ore
taxes in the state treasury and
have the same allocated to the
range villages and school districts
on a common sense basis.
South State Senators who know
what taxation means, feel that the
mines belong to all of the people
of the state and that out of so
much revenue the state should re-
ceive a larger percentage, and es-
pecially at this time when there is
such a great demand for money
with which to pay current needs.

Railway Co. Returns
100000 to Employees
Made Possible Through Amend
ment of 1895 Retirement
Act

The Northern Pacific Railway
is returning more than $1,0O0,0O0
to it's employees as result of the
recent amendment of the Railroad
Retirement act Of 1885, it was an
nounced at the general office Of the
company in st. Paul.
The 1885 law provided federal
taxes of per cent on compensa-
ton of railway employees up to $500
a month, one-half to be paid by the
railroads and one-half by the en-
ployes. The taxes were effective
March 1, 1896. Under the law the
railroads were required to make
payroll deductions from the tax
on the employees, and these deduc-
tons have been held in trust pend
ing the outcome of negotiations
initiated by the railroads for re-
vision of the law.

amended, provided federal taxes Of

propriate an equal amount OF their
own money.
This has long been a condition
which has made the State High
way department subject to the
availability Of state funds for
matching, but which other units of
government, not required to match
could not reasonably be expected
to appreciate.
Now that for the first time Sec
ondary road money is being allot-
ted directly to the counties, and
must be matched dollar for dollar
by the county boards, the county
governments are scraping the bot
tom of the barrel just as the High
way Department has had to do
many times in order not to lose
millions Of federal aid dollars.
Under the present federal pro-
gram, approximately $691,0O0 a
year is allotted to Minnesota for
secondary and feeder road i'm
provements, of which $566,677 Is
available to the counties and $123,-
729, or lit per cent, is for the use
on the State Highway system.
Under the equal-share basis
worked out by Commissioner Els
berg, no county will receive less
than $4,000 during the four year
period.
Utilization of combined popula-
tion-area-road mileage basis all al
lotment gives st. Louis County
$161, 160 as compared to $165, 1888
for Hennepin County and $SS,
for Ramsey.
Among other counties receiving
large allotments because of their
large area and road mileages are
Itasca with $49,420; Stearns with
S45, $40; Beltrami with $40,120;
Koochiching with $40, $50; Marshall

such statements now have an ex-
cellent chance to disabuse their
minds of such belief.
Point out to them the case of
William Knudsen, who was chosen
president of the General Motors
Corporation just a few weeks ago.
Knudsen came to this country 30
years ago, a poor emigrant boy,
with but $50 in his pocket and not
an acquaintance in the entire Unit
ed States. But he had the deter
mination to make something of
himself-and the perseverance to
stick by that resolve. He started in
as an errand boy, earning just
enough each week to pay for his
board and clothes. He spent in
leisure hours studying in free night
schools and reading in free ibrar-
les. Today he Is at the top.
America is still the land of OPP
portunity, and this latest evidence
of that fact should be pointed out
to every boy who feels that it's not.
There is still a chance for success
awaiting any boy who is honestly
determined to work for it, and will

whatever he sets out to do. But
each must work out his own prob

Rover, Sport and Laddie can

HEAT WAVE
BROKEN BY RAIN
Splendid Precipitation Wednesday
All Day Gave Rising Promise
For Fair Crop

Rains falling over this territory
early Wednesday morning provided
the long-awaited break and tapered
off the billowing heat waves in the
second week Of it's advance over
this section. The heat wave had be-
gun July 4th and advanced until
temperatures rose to nearly the
hundred mark during last weekend.
The first promise of a break in
the heat came Monday when cool
breezes sprung up and a freak
shower, mostly localized, fell about
p m. That was the first precipita-
ton in this territory since June
25th. Mondays showers were
spotted in a freak movement that
visited only small areas. Tuesday
afternoon saw more showers but
it was not until Wednesday that
the gentle showers brought the
needed heat relief.
From the farm of Leo TRACER, on
%, west Of this city came
a report that Mondays rain had
fallen so hard as to level grain.
Tt was reported from that section
that rain pentrated to a depth of
four inches. The area Of such
rainfall was small however.
Sank Centres City Park pro-
vided the most welcome spot to
heat relief seekers Sunday. The
Park was damned with swimmers,
others just idling about keeping
cool. Picnicers filled the small
park across the lagoon, and it is
estimated more than 80 cars were
there at single time. 1t provided
a haven for out of state tourists,
willing under the heat of the road,
to stop for cooling rest.

$2,266,708 Of Federal Funds
Available For Secondary
Roads

Stearns County's apportion-
ment of the $2,266,7OS of federal
money for improvements on secon-
dairy and feeder roads during the
next four years will be S43,340. OF
this amount $22,670 will be avail
able for the years of 1887 and
1888, announced N. w. Elsberg,
State Highway Commissioner, the
forepart of this week.
Notices have been sent to coun-
ty boards and county engineers of
each of Minnesota's 81 counties to
effect that the money will be sent
as soon as available.
ALLEGATIONS of funds have been
made on the same basis as that
used by the federal government in
alloting federal aid money to the
states. That is, the funds were div
ided among all counties strictly on
a combined basis of population,
area, and road milage within the
counties.
Making allotments on a four
year basis instead of only on a
two. year basis makes it possible
for those counties most hard
pressed financially, and therefore
unable Immediately to match the
federal funds dollar for dollar as
required by law, to get their full
share of federal money without
necessarily being required to take
it this year or next.
The matching requirements for
federal money, attached to the new
ALLEGATIONS of secondary road
funds to counties instead Of the
state, are giving county officials
not only the direct benefits of fed
eral aid but also a taste Of the
strict requirement of the federal

eral appropriations must also ap-
