SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 ;ER YEAR IN ADVANCE “A ‘GET-TOGETHER’ APPEAL.” The Sauk Centre Herald says of the recent editorial published in the Pioneer relative to the republican papers ‘‘getting together” for re- publican success: “The Bemidji Pioneer, in a recent issue, appeals to republican papers of the state to: 'Be good, for once, boys; and let’s see if we cannot elect a Republican governor next fall.’ It asserts that all the re- publican papers inthe state, ‘with two or three exceptions’ are giving Gov- ernor Eberhart the support he is entitled to, and names two of the objecting papers, one of which is printed in Mile Lacs county and the other in Stearns county. “The Pioneer's appeal contains much good, sound sense. If the pretty bosses will only make an effort to be as decent as they can, and if those who are seeking a ‘vindication’ will be satisfied to keep what they’ve already received, the party can and will elect a governor. As for Mr. Eberbart, he has done well and the people are pretty well satisfied with him. “One of the men who has been prominently mentioned as a guber- natorial candidate remarked to the publisher of The Herald a few days ago that he was not in the field, as Eberhart was making a good record and was the logical candidate. That sounds like horse sense. If the fel- lows who always ‘butt in’ keep up their racket the party dissension will be greater than ever and the Democrats will elect the next gov- ernor.” WOOL GROWERS IN SESSION Most Important Questions Are Tariff and Conservation. Ogden, Utah, Jan. 8.—The National Association of Wool Growers is in annual session here. The delegates were formally welcomed by Mayor Glasmann and Governor Spry. John Hart of Idaho replied in behalf of the tonvention. The annual addresses of the president and the Western and Eastern vice presidents were then de- livered. Fred W. Gooding of Shoshone, Ida., president of the association, in his an- nual address said that the most im- portant questions before the associa- tion were the tariff, the administra- tion of the national forest reserves, the sixteen miles an hour law for the transportation of live stock and the national wool warehouse. MADE MILLIONS IN PROFIT E. G. Scales Pawned Diamonds to Get Into Cotton Market. New York, Jan. 8.—It has become known that E. G. Scales, the Texan, who, as a cotton bull, is credited with taking down between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 profits, gave a Christmas present of §1,000,000 to his sister and $100,000 to his brother. When Scales reached New York “broke” he is said to have pawned a diamond in order to get into the market. Although the cotton market dropped $3 a bale Thursday Scales entered the pit in the late afterncon and distrib- uted buying orders, which caused a rugh of shorts to cover, and prices ‘went up sharply.

FAVORS COMMERCE COURT Document Deals With Interstate Com- merce Regulation and Curbing of Trusts—Federal Charters for Corpo- rations the Most Important Proposal Made by the Chief Executive to Congress. Washington, Jan. 8.—President Taft’s special message dealing with amendments to the interstate com- merce laws looking to a more effective federal supervision of railroads and conveying his recommendations for the passage of a federal incorporation act was transmitted to congress and read in the house, the senate not be- ing in session. The message followed closely the forecasts that have been made from time to time and suggested legisla- tion as to railroads, embodying all of the suggestions that the president has made from time to time in his speeches on the subject. Mr. Taft suggests no cnanges in the Sherman anti-trust law at this time. The anti-trust feature of the message deals solely with the subject of federal charters. The president thinks that an opportunity should be given the big industrial combinations to bring their business once more into the “zone of lawfulness” by taking out a federal charter under certain pre- scribed conditions before it becomes necessary to proceed against every corporation about which there is a breath of suspicion. To Probe Suspected Concerns. “It is the duty and the purpose of the executive,” says the message, “to direct an investigation by the depart- ment of justice, through the grand Jury or otherwise, into the history, or- ganization and purpose of all the in- dustrial companies with respect to which there is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been or- ganized for a purpose and are conduct- ing business on a plan which is in vio- lation of the anti-trust law.” Such a wholesale investigation and possible prosecutions, the president points out, however, would result in serious disturbances and “produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained circum- stances among the innocent many for the faults of the guilty few. “The question which I wish in this message to bring clearly to the con- sideration and discussion of the con- gress is whether, in order to avoid such a possible business danger, something cannot be done by which these business combinations may be offered a means, without great finan- cial disturbance, of changing the char- acter, organization and extent of their business into one within the lines of the law under federal control and su- pervision, securing compliance with the anti-trust statutes.” The conditions upon which federal charters are to be granted under the president’s recommendations are these: Method of Incorporation. The issue of stock to be to an amount equal only to the cash paid in on the stock, or, if stock be issued for property, then at a fair valuation, ascertained under approval and su- pervision of federal authority, after a full and complete disclosure of all the facts appertaining to the value of the property and the interest in it of the persons to whom the stock is to be issued. Corporations taking federal char- ters are to be prohibited from acquir- ing and holding stock in other cor- porations except for special reasons, upon approval by the proper federal authorities. Full reports of operations are to be made to the department of commerce and labor at regular inter- vals. The federal incorporation is to be voluntary, but the president feels that most of the corporations will be glad of the opportunity to reform their business methods if given this oppor- tunity. Otherwise the department of Justice will investigate them. Noth- ing in the federal charter is to ex- empt any corporation from prosecu- ltlon for violations of the anti-trust law. In that portion of his message deal- ing with changes in the interstate commerce law the president recom- mends: The establishment of a United Btates court of commerce of five judges to hear and determine appeals from the interstate commerce com- mission, the only appeal from this court lying in the United States su- Im'eme court. For Prosecution of Cases. The commission is to be relieved of prosecuting cases in the courts, this|g; duty being placed in the department of justice. Pooling arrangements as to rates to be allowed under direct supervision of the commission. The commission to be empowered to pass upon freight classifications. The commission to be empowered to hold up new rates or classifications by railroads until an inquiry can be made as to their reasonableness. It found to be unreasonable the cone mission may forbid tne increase. Shippers to be given the choice of established rates on through freight. From and after the passage of the amendments it is provided that no railroad shall acquire any stock or intetest in a' competing line, except that where a road already owns 50 per cent or more of the stock of an- other road it may complete the pur- chase of all the stock.

I hereby announce myself as a candidate for city clerk to be voted upon at the city election to be held Tuesday February 15, 1910. If elected, I will give the office my personal attention and the city a good business admunistration of its affairs. With this pledge to the voters I solicit your support for the election, and your vote on that date. Respectfully Submitted, Clyde ]J. Pryor. Wwhere one road is operating anothet under a lease of more than twenty- five years’ duration it shall have a right to acquire the demised road. Allowing these acquisitions of stock does not exempt any road from prose- cution under the anti-trust law. Stocks must be issued at par value for money paid in or for property or services, rates at full value, under an inquiry by the federal authority, who shall supervise all stock and bond issues. . ONE FIREMAN LOSES LIFE Score of Guests Narrowly Escape in Hotel Blaze. St. Louis, Jan. 8—One fireman was killed, several others were injured and a score of guests narrowly escaped with their lives when fire destroyed the Cambridge hotel. Harry Tasche lost his life when he attempted to carry a line into the first floor of the building. A sheet of flame burst out when he opened the dcor and his body was burned to a crisp. The guests at the Barnum hotel nearby were panic stricken and Will fam Cleland, the Cherry mine hero, who with his family is stopping at the Barnum, did trojan duty in quieting the fears of the other guests. MAY RESULT IN GENERAL STRIKE Many Classes of Railway Em- ployes Ask More Pay.. ‘Washington, Jan. 8.—Many classes of employes on many railroads in the United States have served notice on the managers that they want more pay, giving as their reasons the in- creased cost of living. Contracts and agreements between roads and employes expire on various dates this year, the first of them on Jan. 20; the men are expected to re- fuse to renew these contracts on the prevailing terms. The employers have replied to the interstate commerce commission’s in- quiries as to their attitude by saying that it will be necessary to increase freight rates if wages are increased. The commission may refuse to countenance any increase in freight rates. President Taft has been informed about these conditions and wants the differences settled by arbitration. ‘The government’s work to this end is in the hands of the mediators, In- terstate. Commerce Commissioner Knapp and Labor Commissioner Neill. These men hope that they wiil be able to avert a general railroad strike, which seems to threaten in case the demands of the men are not granted or arbitrated. At this time the mediators and other government officials are more con- cerned about the approaching crisis in the general railroad situation than about the switchmen’s strike, with which their active interest ceased Thursday when the Northwestern rail- roads informed the mediators that they would dicker no longer with their former employes. $100 Reward, $100.
