A Welcome Change
Smoke curling up from the farmhouse
chimney as the men are coming in from the
fields, gives a pretty suggestion of a good sup
per and a comfortable home. But it also
means a hot, tired woman, working hard over
a blazing fire.
Your wife can escape this with a New
Perfection Oil Cook-stove.
A Ne Perfection keeps a kitchen many degrees cooler than any
other range, yet it does all a coal or wood range can do. It saves time,
labor and fuel. N wood to cut no coal to cany no ashes no soot.
With the Ne Perfection oven it is the best cooking device you can
find anywhere.

HOW CAN THE 2-CENT FARE BE CONFISCATORY
WHE
N IT NETS RAILROADS MORE
THAN THE OL SYSTEM?
Is the 2-cent fare confiscatory?
The court says it is but the rail
roads appear to have made more
money under it than they did un
der the old 3 cent rate, and Senator
Julius A. Coller of Scott county, in
a statement published in the Shako
pee Argus, shows that the railroads
admitted that it is not confiscatory
by offering, when the 2-cent fare
bill was pending, to concede rates
which practically amounted to
2-cent fares.
Duluth Herald Sugnests That If the State Cannot Control Rales, It
Can Force the Railroads to Pay the Money Back In Taxes.
One of the reasons urged by the
railroads why the Minnesota 2-cent
passenger rate law should be re
pealed by the courts was that
the reduction was confiscatory and
that was one of the reasons why the
Federal courts acceded to the wish
es of the rail roads rather than to
the wishes of the people of Minne
sota.
At that time, as Senator Coller
says, representatives of several of
the leading railroads agreed as a
settlement to concede the follow
ing privileges:
Round trip tickets at flat 2 cents
a mile 500-mile mileage books,
good only on roads of issuance and
good until used by the purchaser or
any member of his family at flat 2
cents a mile 1000-mile mileage
books, inter-changeable and good
on all roads, limited to one year,
at flat 2 cents a mile extend to
the public, as before, all special
and reduced rates such as excursion
rates, state fare rates, etc.
This proposal was approved by
the conference committee, of which
Senator Coller was a member, but
later the Northern Pacific refused
to abide by it, and a new proposal
was made, as follows:
One way fare at 2£ cents 500mile
book at 2 cents other usual mileage
books and excursions on same rates
as in the past.
The new proposition not being
satisfactory as to freight rates,
negotiations for settlement ended,
and the legislature passed the 2
cent fare bill and the commodity
rate bill which the Federal courts
have repealed by judicial decree.
WILLMA IS GIVEN A
POSTALSAVINGSBAN
Uncle Sam Will Receive Savings
of Patrons of Willmar Post
Office and Pay2 per cl.
The Willmar post office has re
ceived notice that it has been desig
nated as a postal savings bank. It
has the honor of being one of the
few Minnesota cities so far to be
thus designated. The first postal
savings bank established in the
state was Bemidji then St. Cloud
and Hibbing were thus designated
and now Willmar, Rochester and
Detroit. The postal savings feature
of the Willmar office will be open
ed Monday, July 3rd.
From "Information for Deposi
tors" we glean the following: Ac
counts may be opened bv anv per
son of the age of ten years or over
in his or her own name and by a
married woman in her own name
and free from interference or con
trol by her husband. No person
can have more than one account at
any one time. Every depositor
must be a patron of that office. De
posits will only be accepted from
individuals, not from anv firms, as
sociations or corporations. The ser
vice is absolutely free and the safe
ty of the funds is guaranteed by
the United States government. No
person connected with the post of
fice is permitted to disclose the
name of any depositor. No amount
less than $1.00 will be accepted
either for opening an account or
subsequent deposit but amounts
less than $1.00 may be saved for de
posit by the purchase of a ten cent
postal savings card and stamps.
Stamps may be affixed to the card
from time to time as purchased,
and a postal savings card with nine
10-cenl savings stamps affixed will
be accepted as a deposit of $1.00.
Interest will be allowed on all de
posits at the rate of 2 per cent per
annum, payable annually. Interest
will continue to accrue as long as
it remains outstanding, certificates
being valid until paid, without lim
itation as to time. Depositors may
at any time with draw the whole
or any part of his deposits, with
interest payable, bv surrendering
his savings certificates properly en
dorsed for the amount desired. In
case of the death of a depositor the
amount outstanding to his credit
will be paid to the executor or ad
ministrator.
Placing Willmar on the list of
postal savings banks is considered
quite a recognition.
The Village of Raymond will cel
ebrate the Fourth this year. Judge
T. O. Gilbert will be the orator of

contest for baseball honors for a

Read Hie "Want" Column.
Counting free passes and low ex
cursion »-ates, it was shown in the
hearings before legislative commit
tees in this session of 1907 that the
railroads were then getting, on the
3-cent rate, less than 2 cents a mile
for carrying passengers. The 2-cent
fare law was accompanied by a law
forbidding passes, and the rail
roads ceased giving excursion rates.
ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN
FIGURES TH E RAILROADS
SHOULD BE GETTING MORE
ACTUAL REVENUE OUT OF 2
CENT FARES WITHOUT PASSES
AND EXCURSION RATES THAN
THEY USED TO GET OUT OF
THE 3-CENT FARES WITH PAS
SES AND EXCURSION RATES.
In spite of this obvious arithmet
ical fact and in spite of the fact
that the railroads were willing to
make concessions which practically
amounted to 2-cents rates, they
pleaded that the 2-cent fare law
was confiscatory, and the Federal
court has sustained their plea.
Senator Coller's letter completely
anihilates the railroad's case, and
his remedy is one which The Her
ald has already approved. He says:
If the railroads decide to put in
to effect the 3-cent rate on July 1,
it seems to me that the people of
this state should be benefited by
the increased earnings taken out of
the pockets of the taxpayers of
this state, and the citizens of the
state ought to proceed at once to
petition the governor to call an ex
tra session of the legislature at an
early date for the purpose of rais
ing the gross earnings tax on the
railroads, amending the law in other
details and compelling the railroad
companies to furnish to the people
who are compelled to pay a rate
of 3 cents per mile the same pas
senger service that they have fur
nished to people who are only re
quired to pay a rate of 2 cents a
mile. The law, too. should be
changed so that railroads shall pay
their share of the cost of local im
provements.
Senator Coller, as usual, is emphat
ically right.—-Duluth Herald.
