*r*&W SjSfi$ W I W DARK SPOTS ON HOUSE HORIZON Speaker May Have Trouble Hold ing Unruly in Line. REBELLION SEEMS BREWIN6 Leaders in Revolt Are Said to Have Failed to Get in on the Ground Floor. St Paul—(Special)—To what extent the house of representatives is going to figure In the way of organization and efficiency is a matter of concern with quite a number who set out to 'mold its destinies Like the senate it went to bat with a perfect score and a line of harmony that augured well for its future, but dark spots have ap peared on the horizon and it looks as if Pilot Parker will have the time of his life keeping the unruly in line A rebellion is in the making and the active ones, I gather, are those who jfailed to get in on the ground floor While they have not started anything as yet, still they are grumbling, and the flash may come at any time Per haps it is too early to throw bouquets, but sometimes first impressions are the best and in the case of the pres ent house they run well to Ralph Parker, its choice for speaker Named In the face of a held, the entries in which included the best of the pre* ent membership, the Fillmore county man took up the reins without any at tempt at display or discipline for those who opposed him. He swung the gavel with vigor and every time It dropped there was emphasis in the sound of its ring Those who helped name him, while favored in the plums, found they could not count on any- thing outside of the legitimate This slight digression is indulged in to show what those who are threatening trouble will have to face, though it can be said that those constituting the minority are equal to the occasion should they deem their cause a just one They have live ones among their number and several of them have the benefit of much past experience in a legislative way. Plans looking to a general get together, however, are said to be in the making and the trou ble spoken of may be nipped in the «bud. In marked contrast is the senate, where from the drop of the gavel at the opening until adjournment was taken three days later, nothing but harmony and good will prevailed. Here Senator Sullivan, named preji dent pro tern Senator Putnam of Blue Earth county, Senator Wallace of Min neapolis, Senator Dunn of Princeton and more than a score of others are in I charge and they have overlooked noth ing in making the organization air tight. Actively aiding the majority [was Lieutenant Governor Frankson, residing officer. With no attempt [at concealment the leaders organized the body, distributed the plums and Ithout delay got down to business course there was opposition—there ilways is to anything that savors of he machine—but it availed nothing. Senator Ole Sageng of Otter Tail ounty and Senator Campbell cried Shame" and then some, and sat lown They might just as well have Jtalked to the winds Machine it is, and a well oiled one at that, but it spells efficiency all down the line, and for your benefit, dear reader, some good/legislation is going to come out o( the senate. Because a majority rood for* an equitable distribution of {he plums in order to avoid friction and consequent delay, does not mean that those composing it will vote to gether on questions of legislation, but It does mean that it will be pretty near intact on what is beneficial to the people Ten years ago—aye, even five—such a get together would ha\e been rebuked by half the papers in the state, and those who opposed it would have been lauded to the skies This time the Twin City dailies hardly noticed the new lineup, while for the opposition, it did not even figure in the prints Rather it was lauded as a new note in efficiency My, how times and methods do change' 4. 4. Senator Baldwin of Becker and Rep resentative Carmichael of Dakota county will endeavor to have the leg ^Mature endorse two bills introduced calling for the employment of convict labor on the roads of the state. The idea is to use labor not otherwise employed in the Stillwater prison and the St Cloud reformatory and to pay so much per head for the use of the prisoners The use of such labor on state roads has been endorsed by a number of good roads advocates and associations. 4. 4. 4. President Frankson of the senate and Speaker Parker of the house will announce committee appointments in the near future and much interest cen Hers on their publication. This is es pecially so in the house, where an en tire new shift will be made Speaker -rker has announced that he will rmit the farmer members of the aouse to name the gram and ware house committee and labor also will have a try at the committee which will handle its affairs This time the Minneapolis Dollar-Hotel 28 0 MODERN ROOMS fat Heaiaof Binlsm Dhtrfct IB PRICE--ONE DOLLAR -/^tftOMAtt reii TWO Pinsone Si .SO WlVATC BATH.

The Min neapolis chamber of commerce will be the ohiet object of the Equity end of the game. Already bills tabooing fu tures and regulating the handling and sale of grain have been introduced. One bill offered gives any owner of grain defrauded by a commission mer chant or grain broker a first lien on his seat in any grain or Btock ex change Prominent on the farmer side of the house are Magnus Johnson oi Meeker and Knute Knutson of Swift counties. 4. 4. 4. Though hardly a week old over sev enty-five proposed measures are the house and senate contributions to the bill hopper For a wonder the sen ators introduced nearly as many bills as the representatives Of the total ten were the product of the efficiency and economy commission, a creation of the last legislature, and in a way they expressed the big end of impor tant legislation to be tackled this ses sion. Few probobly are aware of the fact, but the ten efficiency bills of fered by the committee are the result of the resolution offered by Senatoi Carley of Wabasha county two years ago and which was adopted by the two legislative bodies It called for a committee to be named in part by tha speaker of the house, the president ol the senate and the governor and its SENATOR CARLEY. passage followed the dismal failure of a governmental reorganization bill drafted and fathered by former Gov* ernor Eberhart's famous committee oi thirty of two years previous. While possibly everything that was claimed for it suspicion attached to the Eber hart bill from the start and it nevei got beyond the committee stage. The ten bills offered by the Carley commit tee are in such shape that they can be digested without trouble Altogeth er they do away with thirteen state boards and a number of officials and substitute a department under which all are grouped. .The chief product of the Carley committee is a depart ment of public domain. To it is given a number of activities now handled by various boards and commissions. An other bill reorganizes the state board of education, still another adds to tha duties of the state board of health and a fourth divorces all grain and warehouse matters from the railroad and warehouse commission. Other bills create a board of investment, a purchasing department, and add to the duties of the state board of control The majority of them are regarded as really meritorious. 4. 4. 4.

That those engaged in the liquor traffic will make every effort to forestall its adoption is generally accepted, but so far no efforts in that direction have been made by the trade Men who repre sented the liquor interests in the past are conspicuous by their ab sence these days, but there Is plenty of time for them to show up. There Is a story abroad to the effect that the liquor crowd will keep its hands off, but it does not have the right ring. 4. 4. 4. James S. Arneson has been named by Speaker Parker as his private secretary and the selection is gen erally endorsed "Jim" was In the thick of the fight to land the speak ership plum for the Fillmore county man and his appointment as private secretary is only a small recognition of what he actually did in putting him over Jim was a power of strength in the fight for control and his insist ent claim of victory in the early stages of the battle was easily borne out by the finish, which was almost unanimous for Mr Parker. THE COITNTY CHAIRMAN. Didn't Want a Postoffice. In most countries the introduction of postal facilities is regarded as an un mixed blessing, but it was not so In Korea. The postoffice erected there in 1885 had but a brief existence. The mob, in their blind hatred of all in novations, rioted and burned it to the ground. The natural result was to make Korean stamps of the first Issue in a used state of great value. The matter was allowed to drop for a time, and it was not until ten yea later that the present system was ea ablished. __ NO INCREASE MWITEO The Minnesota Railroad Commission Denies Request of of Railroads For Increase of Demur rage Rates. An increase of charges: for demur rage on railway freight cars will not relieve the car situation in Minnesota, is the belief of the members of the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse Commission and, by unanimous vote, they have denied the application of the railroads operating in the state for an increase in the demurrage charges on care in intrastate traffic. The rates they proposed correspond with those of the demurrage code ap proved by the Interstate Commerce Commission and which became effec tive for interstate traffic, December 12, 1916. At the hearings before the State Commission, which consumed seven days, the railroads made considerable point of the fact that the Interstate Commerce demurrage rates had been adopted by Iowa/ Wisconsin, South Dakota and other states in the west and applied to intrastate traffic. It was the concensus of opinion among the railway officials who testified at these hearings, that higher demurrage rates would result in releasing for traffic a great number of freight cars used for storage purposes. They re presented that many dealers in grain, coal and other commodities willingly paid $1.00 a day demurrage to hold a car in readiness for a favorable mar ket but that they speedily would load or unload the same car if the demur rage charge was raised to $5.00 a day. The Minneapolis Traffic Association and the Equity Co-operative Exchange opposed the petition of the carriers, alleging, among other things, that a large share of the delay at the term inals was due directly to the railroads and that even if hundreds of freight cars were released in Minnesota the situation would not be relieved to any considerable extent because of the embargoes of the eastern lines. An independent investigation of the car difficulty in Minneapolis undertaken by the Railroad Commission disclosed that an average of 7.52 days, practic ally eight days, was consumed be tween the date of inspection of a car of grain and the date of unloading at a Minneapolis grain elevator. Of this period 4.34 days were consumed be tween the date the car was ordered to the elevator and the date it actually was placed on the elevator track. These averages were obtained from records of 2,599 cars of grain arriving in Minneapolis on twelve different days in September and October. Without placing the blame for the delay- on either the shippers, the rail roads or the elevators, the Commis sion concluded that the delays were excessive and urged all interested par ties to exert every effort to expedite loading and unloading or cars. It was apparent to the Commission from the testimony given at these hearings that a higher demurrage charge, would bring no practical re lief, in view of the fact that the term inal elevators are full to capacity and that the shippers and railroads are unable to obtain cars for loading to eastern points. Telephone Utilities in Minnesota. Minnesota is the home of 1,735 tele phone companies, according to the second annual report of the State Su pervisor of Telephones, J. W. How att, to the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse Commission. The num ber is surprisingly large even to those familiar with the telephone business in Minnesota, many of whom were convinced that the total number of companies did not exceed 500. By "telephone company,' under the state law, is meant any person, firm, asso ciation or corporation engaged in sup plying telephone service to the public and the term includes fanners' mut ual lines. In the past year, 364 cases were fil ed with the Commission. These con sisted of complaints against telephone rates and service, petitions for the in stallation of telephones in railway stations, applications for changes in rates, rules and regulations, applica tions for permission to purchase tele phone property and similar proceed ings. The Commission issued 75 in determinate permits to operate tele phone exchanges in cities and in in corporated villages. In all instances the permits were granted upon not ice of surrender of the local fran chises or contracts. 26 applications for leave to purchase telephone prop erty of various kinds were granted. 31 railway stations in different parts of the state were supplied with tele phone service through the orders cf the Commission, the orders being bas ed on petitions from the citizens of the respective communities. The most important task of the tele phone department for the current year will be the work of valuing the phys ical property of all the telephone com panies in the state, this work to form the basis for establishing the reason ableness of telephone rates in Minne sota. The Pyramids. Scattered about Egypt, the only one of the seven wonders of the world which are still standing as sentinels of the very distant past, are the pyra mids, seventy in number, and. as Thomas Fuller described them, "doting with age, have forgotten the names of their founders. To fully appreciate the wonderful work required in their construction a historian has reckoned that it required 100,000 men ten years to build the pyramid of Gizeh. and to build the great pyramid it required at least twen ty years more and consumed a mass of stone weighing, it is calculated, not leas than 6,800,000 tons.—Exchange. Iberian Laziness. If the Spaniards may be regarded as Indolent as a race the accusation might be leveled against their neighbors, the Portuguese, with greater justice. 6 a lida has supplied Portugal with labor for centuries, and the wily little Gale gos are figuratively the bees In the Por tuguese hive. Southey tells a story of an Englishman at Oporto who asked his servant to carry a box. "I am a Portuguese, not a beast!" ex claimed the offended native, who walk ed a mile to find a Galego to carry the burden.
