PIONEER PUBHS‘“NG co. By R. W. DIITQICOCK ‘ntered in tho pol mun Bum.ldfl. mnn“ class ma Official Paper Village of Bemidii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR The Revised Code. The legislature of 1905 has been in session two weeks and has ac- complished practically nothing beyond effecting an organization and settling the matter of the election of a successor to the jun- ior senator from Minnesota to the United States Senate. The delay is due to the fact that the commission appointed four years ago to revise the laws of the state and prepare a new code had not completzd their work and it was feared that if any legislation was effected it might conflict with the new code and cause endless an- noyance. What is this code which the re- vision committee has prepared? It is simply a digest of all the laws passed by the state from its beginning. Repealed law, and overlaping laws have been elimi- nated and the entire law of the state condensed into an edition of one or two volumes convenient to be handled and easy of refer- ence. All the laws of the state bound in ordinary form would make a pile several feet high while the condénsed code is but several inches thick. In order that the law may be easily gotten at, may be easily and definitely known with the least possible difference of opinion it is abso- lutely necessary that such a code be prepared at stated intervals. The code in use at the present time was adopted in 1894. Since then there have been six sessions of the legislature, each with its large grist of new laws. All these, new and old have now been reduced to one code once more and when officially ratified by the legislature will become the estab- lished law of the state. The revision of the code has X | taken four years and has cost the state $85,000. Advertisersand Advertisers One merchant does not adver- tise at all. He is content to put good goods on his shelyes and render good service when any one happens to come his way. He will spend an hoeur telling one customer that his store is the best place to trade but he will not spend one dollar to tell 10,000 people that his store is the best to trade. - One merchant advertises now and then.” He will spend an hour every chance he gets telling one customer that his store is the best place to trade but it is only at long intervals that he will spend a dollar to tell 10,000 peo- ple that his store is the best place to trade. One merchant adyertises all the time. He never neglects an opportunity to spend an hour telling a customer that his store is the best place to trade and he never. loses an opportunity to spend a dollar to tell 10,000 peo- ple that his store is the best place to trade. If all three merchants have good goods and render good ser- vice which ‘merchant gets the trade? THE agitation for a fair rate and the power to fix it for the state railway commission is al- right, but wouldn’t it be better in the first place to agitate for a railway and warehouse commis- sion that could by no possibility be controlled by the railroads?

What bas been done thus far is merely a smattering: it has been alright, but the state needs to enter upon the work of drainage upon a far greater scale. W“mvvv“va.
