Although the audience was small the management gave the performance in detail and complete. The hits of the evening were the songs by the girls trio and the sermon by Mr. Lutgens.

O'NEILL (Continued from first page). throughout all the strictly agri- cultural sections of the state. Take for instance such a big broad minded, able man as Sen- ator Gunderson of Alexandria who has always seen danger in giving control of the senate to the cities with a few others from state institution districts. I am firmly of the opinion that if the governor would call an extra ses- sion of the legislature for the pur- pose of re-districting the state, that, both the House and Senate would have a bill, perhaps not quite what much larger and fairer representa- tion. As to Good Roads. need of Northern Minnesota. I am afraid that my good friend Robert perstitutions of his native country where they see fairies in every bush for he sees ghosts now. of Southern and Central Minnesota defeating the Good Roads Amend- ment, by which all the counties will receive fair treatment, because a few counties in Northern Minnesota see fit to take advantage of the Elwell erty owners not only pay half the expense, but also their share of the state tax, does not seem reasonable. Southern Minnesota must knew and realize that Northern Minnesota is contributing annually of its iron and timber over twenty times as much as it could receive. No, let us have El- well roads, Bob Dunn roads, or any good roads. We need them all and we will give them all due credit be- sides. Winona in Southern Minne- sota is the first county to take ad- vantage of the Elwell law. If twen- ty-five per cent of the increase in farm values in Northern Minnesota Company, are in the city on- busi- ness. for the last two years, brought about by the drainage and building of we might demand, but a bill which | would give to Northern Minnesota a : i “Now, as to good roads the crying | has never got entirely over the su- | law, when the county and the prop-| other fellow who wishes to make | roads, and the boosting of the North- ern Minnesota Development Associa- tion, eould be make a fund sufficient to build all the trunk lines proposed and still have millions left, and this drain- age and road making did not cost the state a cent.

Just con- tain yourselves for awhile before tak- ing action. There is one point upon which we would agree and that is that the country people would be most Dbenefited by cheaper rates, both as to passenger and freight. cure two cent fares and lower freight rates.

If | there is any discrimination in tar- jiffs at present, then some section jmust be discriminated against, and if that be true it must necessarily follow that some section is favored. Then the logical thing for us living up in Northern Minnesota is to as- ! certain our position and compare our freight rates with other sections of the state. Do you think it fair that people living on a level plain, where one engine and one train crew can yhandle twice as many cars as in an- s A !other section where the surface is| | very uneven and hilly, not only cost- ing twice as much per mile to build .the road, but twice as much to keep it in repair, would be entitled to the {same price per ton per mile as the first named section?

By the power vested in ihe Railroad and Warehouse Commission, by an| 'act of the legislature under the Can- by decision, they have the power to| regulate rates and fares until over- ruled by the courts, and as Judge ,Sanborn has overruled them then it iis up to the supreme court to decide.

My position is this: The cities and iron properties pay sixty per cent of the taxes of the state, while the country districts pay over twenty-five per cent of the passenger and freight rates. Takes Issue With Herald. “The Duluth Herald takes the po- sition that the consumer pays all freight rates. That may be true as regiards outgoing freight, as the freight is added to all comsignments but how about grain and all farm produce, which makes up a large share of the tonnage. Wheat is worth $1.10 in Duluth if you un- load it at the elevator from your agon. Can you ship a car of wheat, thing to do must be a move to se-] otatoes, hay or any other farm pro- duce to Duluth from Bemidji and add ten or eleven cents per hundred for freight? Well, I guess not. The farmer will have to go down into his pocket and pay the freight or re- ceive just that much less at the ter- minal. Hence increased taxes will benefit the cities and iron proper- tics at the expense of the agricultur- al sections of the state. “This is no time for hasty action, but requires a very best thought of all the people of which newspaper editors and us politicians are a very small portion. “On to St. Cloud for the extra ses- sion. “Respectfully yours, “D.

GEN. YIN TCHANG KILLED? Report Received at San Franciseo But Not Verified. Pekin, China, Oct. 27.—Unverified dispatches received by the.Chinese Free Press at San Francisco state that the report from Shanghai, that General Yin Tchang, imperial min- ister'of war, was assassinated by his own troops. The throne today surrendered te [Tszu Cheng Tiuan, China’s national assembly, and, in compliaace with its demands, dismissed Sheng Huan Ha- al, minister of posts and communica- tions; ordered Prince Ching, presi- dent of the cabinet, before a board of inquiry, where he doubtless will be severely dealt with; released from custody the president of Sze Shuen, provincial assembly, and other lead- ers in riots at Cheng Tu, and in fact, agreed to all that the assembly asked. A year ago the throne treated the national assembly almost with con- tumacy. Until even a month ago the throne, defying the peopie issued edicts embodying drastic mea’sures. Granted Without Consideration. Now the first resolution of the new ly convened assembly, carrying con- sequences of irremediable character, has been granted without a day’s con- sideration. The edict repeats over the throne’s. seal, allegations and charges made against the minister of posts and communications. It will be consid~ ered here, however, that the throne acted wisely and that it recognized its defeat and submitted force. ST. LOUIS R. R.
