THE MINETTE TELEPHONE BILL.
Everything points to that the oppo
nents to the Minette Bill which
passed thru the House without a dis
senting vote will content themselves
with attempting to make some amend
ments that will make the law less
effective. They probably realize that
it will be impossible to defeat the bill
in the Senate, also that we have a
governor who will not veto a bill car
rying principles so vital to the pub
lie welfare.
There is likely to be two points on
which the Bell interests will center
their efforts to emasculate the bill
One of these is the part of Sec. 10,
which provides that "whenever appli
cation is made to the commission re
questing physical connection, it shall
be presumed that such connection is
necessary, and that the public con
venience will be promoted thereby,
and the burden of overcoming such
presumption shall be upon the party
resisting such application." The im
portance of this provision is appar
ent to anyone who may have been in
terested in securing anything from a
commission in opposition to a power
ful corporation. For instance, if un
der the new law the people of Willmar
would make application to have the
local exchange connect with the Tri
State long distance lines, under the
bill as it now stands, the burden of
proof would rest with the Northwes
tern if they opposed the application
That is a good provision and should
be retained.
Another good provision in the bill
that should be retained at all hazards
Is that contained in Sec. 14, which
gives long distance lines the right to
pass thru any city or village in the
state, subject to the local regulations
relative to location of poles or wires.
Without this provision, the intent of
the law might be nullified by a city
or village council refusing a compet
ing line entrance to a town.
There may be other points on which
the bill might be crippled, but the
above are two that will bear close
watching by the legislators.
HANDS OFF THE PRESIDENT.

and closely. What may happen if a
random spark should strike combus
tible matter in this country no proph
et can foretell. Under the circum
stances it becomes the duty of every
American to stand steadfastly by the
chief who is fighting so earnestly to
keep all danger from our door. The
hour has arrived when the voice of
judgment should be suspended and the
hand of censure should be stayed.
Upon the bowed shoulders of that
lone man in the White House rests an
appalling mountain of responsibility
His every act renders him answera
ble to a hundred million living Amer
icans and to hundreds of millions yet
unborn. It has been his fate to take
the helm of the Ship of State during
one of the most stressful periods of
history. The hearts of the American
people should go out in sympathy to
ward their courageous pilot, who,
with eyes straining ahead upon the
troubled waters, is endeavoring to pre
vent his craft from coming to grief
either on the shallows of Mexican con
troversy or the rocks of European
War. Any censure or ridicule of nis
efforts forthcoming at any moment
of such solemn gravity must be put
down as indicative either of extraor
dinary obtuseness to the appropriate
or of a particular partiality for the
small.—Minneapolis Tribune, Febru
ary 22.
PETITIONS WILL BE CIRCULATED
The editor has received letters
from various parts of the county urg
ing immediate action for a vote on the
liquor question in the county under
the new option law. Blank forms will
be sent out during the coming week
to different parts of the county. The
number of signatures required is 886,
twenty-five per cent of the number
cast for governor at the last election.
The question must be submitted at
a special election under the provis
ions of the law, so nothing will be
saved by postponing action. When
petitions with the requisite number of
signers are presented to the county
auditor, he must submit the question
to a vote, and it is the opinion of
those writing that the election should
come in the late spring when seeding
and planting have been done.
President Wilson and his advisors
have made the Democratic party one
of positive action Instead of one of
negation. No Congress ever accom
plished so many things of national
importance in two years as did the
one just ended. But for the filibuster
of the Republican minority a govern
ment owned merchant marine would
have been added to the Alaskan rail-
road, the income tax, the parcels post,
the reduction of tariff, the currency
bill and other meritorious measures..
Iowa and Idaho have adopted prohi
bition statutes, making eighteen pro
hibition states in the union—more
than one-third of the sister-hood of
states. Minnesota is the seventh state
under county option at the present
time.
THE NEW DISTRICT JUDGE.
Mr. Daly is an able lawyer and
stands well with the bar of the state.
—Clara City Herald.
The appointment is a good one and
the Review extends congratulations to
Judge Daly upon receiving the ap
pointment.—Danube Review.
In appointing Mr. Daly to this im
portant position, Gov. Hammond has
shown a keen discernment in the re
cognition of ability and has bestowed
the honor upon a worthy and capable
man, and one who will creditably nil
the position formerly held by that
grand old man, Judge Powers.—Olivia
Times.
The appointment of Mr. Daly to this
important office is an honor to the
Renville County bar of which he has
been one of the most prominent mem
bers for many years. We understand
that his appointment had the endorse
ment of the attorneys of Renville
County and feel certain that it meets
with the approval of the voters of the
entire district.—Bird Island Union.
Judge Daly needs no introduction
to the people of this district, having
lived and practiced law within it dur
ing the last twenty-five years. His
associates of the bar say that because
of his thorough knowledge of the law
and his temperament and right atti
tude he has the qualifications for this
high and responsible office. His age,
fifty-one years, is such that he pos
sesses maturity of judgment and at
the same time the vigor of young man

him for his arduous duties.—Granite

DAY OF SURPRISES
IN THE LEGISLATURE
Supposed WetMembenSprlngs
Movement for Prohibition
Unexpectedly
C. J. Buell, for the Willmar Tribune.
Tuesday, March 2, was surely a day
of surprises in the House. One sur
prise followed another, and the House
was in a turmoil of excitement in both
morning and afternoon sessions.
To Punish Corning.
In his speech on the County Option
bill, Mr. Corning had rather gone out
of his way to criticize the Governor
for some things said in his inaugural
address.
Several men who were lined up
against the bill took offense at this.
In another part of his speech Corn
ing said that the performance in the
legislature was something like a cir
cus. "The ringmaster today," he said,
"is the Minnesota Brewers' associa
tion. Whenever the ringmaster cracks
the whip, then the members of this
house are supposed to jump through
a hoop. The hoop now is opposition
to county option. The question is
whether we will jump through the
hoop or not.
"The Brewers' association invokes
the principle of 'personal liberty' and
at the same time are seeking to do
all in their power to keep the farmers
of this state who live outside of the
villages, towns and cities of the state
disfranchised as far as temperance
questions are concerned.
"Personal liberty! What crimes of
rhetoric and demagoguery are com
mitted in thy name! The real motive
back of the opposition to this bill is
the money and the business of the
brewers.

state. Of a judicial turn of mind and
a deep thinker he will be mindful that
justice be done the humblest litigant.
He will take with him to the bench
those attributes that made his pre
decessor, Judge Powers, one of the
foremost judges on the district bench
of the state, and who recently retired
after a quarter of a century service,
and full of honors. We predict for
Judge Daly a long and successful ca
reer on the bench.—Renville Star
Farmer.
"What is the matter. You look so
angry this morning?"
"Well, I took this thing to the
Quick Repairing Blacksmith Shop,
and they fixed it while I was waiting.
They told me it wouldn't take long to
take it in, slap it together and slap it
out, and they fixed it quick enough,
but I would sooner leave it a day or
so and get a good job of it The
first time I went around the field, it
broke. Where the other shops are
using rivets, they seem to be using
broken punches just so they fill the
hole with something. I would sooner
pay a little more and wait a little
longer and have it done right."
"Well, you must remember you did
not go to the right shop. There is
another one just a block further west.
I commenced to go there and I am
very much pleased with their work
anu I find that they do not handle
anything but the very highest grade
of materials, and their workmanship
can not be beaten. When you come
there, you will see they are busy
which proves that they are doing the
right thing."
"The proprietor told me that his
business gained 25 per cent during the
year of 1914, and 1915 starts out away
ahead of that again. He has the light
est and finest shop between Minneap
olis and Breckenridge, and it is the
best equipped with modern, up-to-date
tools and stock and he certainly knows
how to use them too, believe me. He
was for some time in a black cell
of a shop, but now he feels right at
home. He also says thanks to every
body for bringing their work to him
and he is in hopes that they will keep
on doing the same, and he will then
need no man on the street to rustle.
—Advertisement.
This still further aroused the wrath
of the wets, and they demanded that
Corning he punished.
Representative Carmichael of Da
kota county brought in a resolution
reciting the sins of Corning and de
manding that he be brought before
Mr. Corning did not seem inclined
to make the required apology Adams
served notice of debate and the ques
tion went over under the rules.
The longer the matter was allowed
to slumber, the more the wets were
afraid to bring it up. They began to
suspect that the thing might be load
ed and that the kick might be worse
than the shot.
They were entirely right. The
thing was loaded, and that far more
heavily than any of the wets sus
pected.
Discretion was surely the part of
valor for if they had ever brought
Corning to the bar of the House and
demanded an apology they would have
got it, and it would have been heard
in every corner of the State.

Our stock of hardware is the most complete in the city and our
prices are reasonable.
Ohsberg, Sclvlg & Co.
In the middle of the morning, Mr
Carmichael arose and himself apolo
gized for getting angry, admitted he
was inclined to be red-headed and "in
the interest of peace and brotherly
love," asked to be permitted to with
draw his resolution so it could be
"thrown into the waste basket and
burned."
This was the surprise of the morn
ing, but a far greater surprise was in
store for the afternoon.
State Wide Prohibition Offered by
Wets.
Mr. Larimore of Minneapolis had
been one of the most bitter oppon
ents of County Option, but had de
clared he would support State Wide
Prohibition.
Very few took the declaration ser
iously so when he and Mr. Davis of
fered a joint resolution, providing for
State-wide prohibition, himself gave
notice of debate then proceeded to
debate the question on the spot and
demand the suspension of the rules
and the passage of the resolution
right then and there, the House was
in an uproar.
Over half of the members left their
seats, and all wanted to talk at once
Both wets and drys were equally
taken off their feet.
What kind of a trick were they try
ing to spring?
Larimore and Lydiard both declar
ed the resolution was offered in good
faith and that they would stand by it
Both these men come from very
dry districts, and both had bitterly
opposed County Option.
Were they trying to square their
record?
The really and truly wets were
thrown into terror by this unexpected
move of their former colleagues, and
they made frantic efforts to stave off
a final vote.
10% DISCOUNT
From and with March 13th and including March 20th,

Lltcn. Ave.—Willmar
After an hour of the most dramatic
scenes ever witnessed in the Minne
sota House, the matter was postpon
ed and a vote avoided.
Initiative and Referendum.
March 3rd, the House passed a good
initiative and referendum bill, with
only 12 votes against it. Only twelve
who were willing to go on record as
believing that the legislature is al
ways wiser than the people who elect
them, and that the people who elect
be trusted with any direct power in
their own hands.
And there were no efforts to spoil
the bill by amendments, as was the
case two years ago.
Many of the reactionaries of two
years ago had been relegated to priv
ate life and most of the others had
learned wisdom.
The discussion was brief but rath
er warm, and the bill passed with on
ly twelve votes against it.
Nine of the twelve opponents are
new men. The people should be able
to get some of them at the next elec
tion.
It will be well to remember these
twelve men who regard It their duty
to save the people from themselves,
lest they wreck the State thru their
ignorance.
Here are twelve apostles who took
it upon themselves to save our sacred
institutions from the anarchistic spoil
ers who would pull down the pillars
of the temple and bury us all in the
ruins:
Larimore, Lydiard, Harrison, Con
don and Girling of Hennepin Roden
berg of St. Paul Bouck of Morrison
Carmichael of Dakota, Gerlich of Blue
Earth, Gilman of Stearns Papke of
Waseca and Schrooten of Martin.
Equal Suffrage.
Equal Suffrage was killed in the
Senate March 4th. The vote was very
close 33 to 34. A. S. Campbell of Aus
tin could not be found for some time
and the vote was a tie. He was final
ly found and voted with the reaction
aries.
Three Senators, Gross, Hilbert and
Adams voted against the bill who had
written letters practically pledging
their votes for it. But these letters
were written before election. After
election it was a different matter.
The only question before the Sen
ate was the plain proposition to refer
to the voters of the State and let them
denote whether or not women should
be granted the right to vote.
It is hard to understand the frame
of mind of the man who is not willing
to trust the people to decide such
great questions.
Who are you, Senators, that you
should assume that you, and you
alone, are the people, and that wisdom
will be sure to die with you?
Repeal of the Elwell Road Law.
In the Senate the Elwell road law
was repealed by a vote of 39 to 25 af
ter a long discussion that pretty thoro
ly thrashed out all the good and bad
features of the law.
Several Senators announced that
they had been convinced by the argu
ment that the law should be repealed,
tho they had expected to vote against
repeal. Wm. A. Campbell of Minne
apolis, was the only city senator to
vote for the bill.
Land Boomers and Their Methods.
O Patriotism, what crimes are com
mitted in thy name!
Under the present law even one
member of a County board can pre
vent any County money from being
used to boost the work of the so-called
"Development Societies," that are or
ganized to 'develop" the "county's re
sources."
Now strictly speaking the County
does not own a dollar's worth of re
sources. All the resources are owned
by private land speculators, and they
should be permitted to pay their own
advertising bills.
But they want the county to help,
and so they try to let down the bars
and change the law so that it will on
ly require a three-fourth's vote to take
county money for their private
schemes.
Carmichael, Stenvick, Minette and
Erickson strongly supported the meas
ure. Under the spurious plea of help
ing to 'develop the county resources,'
they were most vigorously opposed by
Adams, M. Johnson, Morken, Bjorn
son, and Christianson, who laid bare
the whole proposition to raid the
county treasuries for the benefit of
private land speculations, and the
scheme was defeated 63 to 32.
All schemes of this kind ought to
be defeated.
However honest their promoters
may be (and we need not charge them
with dishonesty) they certainly have
a very incorrect idea of what public
money is for.
Public funds should never be used
for private advertising schemes, and
the present law that permits it by
even an unanimous vote of the county
commissioners should be repealed.
Mr. Christianson declared he would
bring in a bill to repeal all such stat
utes and it certainly should pass.
Senator Clapp's Position.
Washington, March 9.—In a letter
addressed to George W. Perkins,
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Progressive Party, made public
in New York, Senator Moses E. Clapp
squints again at Progressivism and
indicates clearly that his candidacy
for reelection to the United States
Senate will be based on the desire *o
hold on to the Republican Progres
sives and the Progressives. This is
looked upon as a natural and logical
conclusion in view of the various
floppings indulged in by the Senator
in the past few years. He advises
that the Progressive Party hold to
gether its organization and suggests
that Colonel Roosevelt again be the
candidate in 1916.
He also insists that prohibition is
likely to be the national issue in 1916.
He urges that if prosperity prevails
next year nothing can stop the re-elec
tion of Woodrow Wilson, but that it
will be followed by a split in the Dem
ocratic Party, that party being made
up of diverse elements.—Minneapolis
Tribune.

THE SWELLING OF
RAILROADVALUATION
Manipulations by Financiers
Reviewed at Railroad Wage
Arbitration.
Chicago, Mar. 8, 1915.—The story of
the looting of the public purse to the
extent of about $2,000,000,000 was re
lated during the current week at the
Western railroad wage inquiry. It
was "frenzied finance" week, the fin
ancial management and history of var
ious Western railroads being introduc
ed into the record by Warren S
Stone, Grand Chief Engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
W. Jett Lauck, one of the best
known statisticians in the United
States, was on the witness stand and
unrolled before the arbitrators the
pages of Western railroad "wildcat
ting." Prom wildcatting in fictitious
securities of these railroads to delib
erate theft from Uncle Sam, Mr.
Lauck's story proceeded chapter by
chapter. He admitted that neither he,
nor anyone else, so far as he knew,
had the exact figures as to the total
amount of funds thus misapplied or
dissipated. At the close of the week's
hearing an expert in figures who had
followed Mr. Lauck through the dev
ious lanes of his testimony said that
his finding showed a total of almost
$2,000,000,000 as the loot in these
Western railroad scandals.
In this connection it was pointed
out that the Union Pacific construc
tion grab alone amounted to more
than $125,000,000. The principal stock
holders here, as was true in the con
struction of nearly all the trans-con
tinentals, were the leading stockhold
ers in the construction companies
which built the lines. Later came the
financial acrobats who handled the
securities. The Harriman syndicate
in this connection is said to have made
$50,000,000. This, too, is an estimate
as neither Mr. Harriman, nor Mr
Schiff, nor Mr. Gould, nor any mem
ber of the syndicate ever could be in
duced to reveal the exact figures.
Then there was the notorious "Fris
co" financing with an estimated re
turn in "velvet" of $65,000,000. Will
iam H. and James Hobart Moore and
Daniel G. Reid began operations in the
Rock Island a dozen or fifteen years
aw and are credited with having
cleaned up $100,000,000 in personal
commissions and to have depleted the
purse of the small stockholders of the
three Rock Island companies to the
extent of $150,000,000 more.
Thus, the estimated spoils incident
to the organizations and development
of these three large companies alone
were $490,000,000. As much more
was claimed to have been illegally dis
sipated or diverted in the construc
tion, organization and reorganization
of such companies as the Southern Pa
cific, Northern Pacific, the Wabash,
Missouri Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande, Duluth, South Shore and At
lantic, Colorado and Southern, M.
& T. and half a dozen other railroad
companies of not so great importance
The aggregate plunder in this de^
partment of railroading, therefore,
was put at an even billion dollars.
Another billion representing valuable
lands, timber, minerals and mineral
rights withheld by Western railroad
companies illegally from the public
grants which the federal government

assigned to the original companies in
frontier days was called a conserva
tive figure.
Mr. Lauck made clear the brother
hoods' stand on these topics in an
swering a question put to him by F.
A. Burgess, one of the arbitrators:
"My general statement is that the
whole practice of corporation finance,
especially in the last twenty years, as
applied to railroads, has been such
that the employe can not hope to par
ticipate to the full measure of his
economic right in the output, because
earning power has constantly been
capitalized and it has been capital
ized in anticipation of its develop
ment for that reason it can not be
distributed to securities which have
been used to absorb it, in advance, and
at the same time be distributed to lab
or we hold that such securities have
been issued, without justification and
without investment value, and have
absorbed the surplus revenues. Con
sequently, the employes of the rail
roads have not participated in these
revenues as they should have. So,
this is a criticism of those practices
to that extent, but we are not putting
this forward in the spirit of criticism
—in the sense of criticizing the finan
cial management of the railroads, any
more than a mere statement of facts
forms a criticism."
Illuminating further the theory of
capital have received more than its
share of Western railroad profits,
Grand Chief Stone and Mr. Lauck ex
changed the following views at Fri
day's meeting:
Mr. Stone: Mr. Lauck, is it not a
fact that if all these great numbers
of millions of dollars had been con
served and properly administered,
there would be plenty of funds to in
crease the wages of all railroad em
ployes at least 50 per cent and still
keep these railroads on a good pay
ing basis?
Mr. Lauck: Oh, yes, sir, I think so.
I think the real question
Mr. Stone: We could probably raise
it more than that. We could prob
ably go up 100 per cent?
Mr. Lauck: I do not know anything
about the per cent but, of course,
there have been hundreds of millions
of dollars absorbed in that way. I
think the real question of the wages
is not from the railroad managers'
standpoint It is the relation
of the financial manager of the rail
road to the wage problem. The fact
that the financial management has,
TWO NEW BRANDS
by its practices, dissipated the reve
nues of the railroads, has prevented
the general manager from giving any
new increase to the employes, because
the financial management tells the op
erating manager that he must use the
money to pay dividends.
OF CIGARS
LITTLE ROLL OF HONOR
Mr. Stone: Just imagine yourself
being one of these great wizards of
finance for a few minutes. How would
you do? Pay your employes a going
wage or buy another steam yacht and
worthless title for your daughter?
Which would you do?
Mr. Lauck was noncommittal in his
answer.
In Exhibit 63, entitled "Productive
Efficiency of Industry, Working Rela
tions and Corporation Finance," in
troduced into evidence the last thing
this week, there were quotations from
various prominent American finan
ciers respecting the division of pro
fits as between capital and labor. Mr.
Stone and Mr. Lauck the last thing at
Friday's hearing quoted a few of
these. George W. Perkins, formerly
a member of J. P. Morgan and Com
pany, was quoted as follows:
"I think, first, money for capital
should be paid in dollar for dollar in
cash. And then, I think a plan should
be worked out by which it should be
said we pay the interest on our bonds
and dividends on our stock And
then, whatever money we are able to
make over and above that shall be
divided between the stockholders and
