Official Paper of City of Bemidji KKK KKK KKK KKK KF * * * The Dally Pioneer receives & wire service of the United * % Press Association. * * * * KKK KKK KKK K KKK l){ilg PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES & NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIiEY o CAUSE IS WEAK. The editor of the Northern News, published at Spooner, comes forth with the pathetically ludicrous ar- gument that because the county at- torney of Beltrami county has his official office in Bemidji it would be expensive to prosecute any violations of the liquor laws in the northern half of the county should county op- tion go into effect and should there be any such violations. In such an event it would be necessary for the county attorney to go north or to have the criminals brought to Be- midji for trial and that would cost a few dollars, By that same astute reasoning our northern editor will doubtless argue that if a petty theft is committed it would be better to let the wrongdoer g0 because it will cost more to prose- cute him anyway than the article he stole is worth. Continuing this logical argument our friend will say to the murderer, “It is wrong to commit murder and we deeply regret your action, but it will cost this county considerable money to prosecute and we must be economical above all. Then, too, there is the possibility that you may be acquitted and then all the money spent at the trial will be wasted.” Let this reasoner be consistent, by all means, and let him carry out his logic to the end. Let him get out his paper and pencil and figure out how much policemen, city jails, coun- ty jails and state prison costs us. He will doubtless be astounded to learn that these institutions cost us an- nually thousands of dollars and what revenue do they bring Why what fools we have been,” he will explain, “what money we have wasted. Abol- ish policemen, jails and prisons. Let the taxpayer keep his money and grow rich.” 1t is apparent that those who argue thus have their eyes on the bottle rather than on any principle of law or justice. On the other hand the Pioneer re- sents the implication that Beltrami county is so poor financially that it must wink at violations of the law | Hotel rather than prosecute them diligently without regard to expense. We know that if the people want county option they are ready to back up any viola- tion of the law. We know that Bel- trami county is not such a bankrupt county that it must submit to law- lessness to save a little expense. We know that in the long run justice, peace and order is cheaper than law- lessness, murder, riot and carnage. It is apparent that when the op- ponents of county option must re- sort to ‘‘arguments” such as those set out in the Northern News, their cause is weak indeed and that drown- ing in liquor they are vainly grasping at straws. THE JEFFERSON HIGHWAY. Bemidji has secured the Jefferson highway. Now that we have the highway there are certain conditions which must be met. The highway is too big and im-|j portant a thing for the city to lose through negligence or indifference. These are the conditions to be ful- filled by each county on the route: 1. Each county organize commit- tee of at least seven members within 60 days to co-operate with the Jef- ferson Highway commission and work under their direction. 2. There must be raised by each county an amount equal to $9 per mile, one-half of which must be paid to the commission within 30 days and the balance in 60 days. ‘3. The counties must support the Declaration, which is the official or- gan and publication. 4. Counties must build 365-day road and maintain it. 5. A fund of not less than $80,- 000 must be raised within two years by popular subscription and the mem- perships will be from $5.00 to $1,- 000. Towns along the way stand or f£all as a unit; should one fail to meet 0| erica will endorse Woodrow Wilgon's Joseph to Winnipeg tour, that a dif- ferent route will be selected. In that event one-half of the mile- age assessment will be refunded if the way is changed within two years.

This relieves a suffering public, whose idea for four years has been that Ola’s ‘‘one great ambition” was to sit where Sydney Anderson sits in congress.

RAILROAD WAGES Shall they be determined by Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? " T'o the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus- trial warfare? . The train employes on all the rallroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 - million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service— your service. This army of employes is in the public service—your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. . On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train_employes earned these wages (lowest highest and average of all) as shown by the pay rolls— Passenger Freight _ Yard Range Average Range Average Range Average ineers. | #1747 ron 82195 | *°57 32071 | 9% 31378 Conductors gg‘; 1878 | %54 1935 | 11 1388 Fiemen | 0% 1317 | 50 nis1| 8 973 Brakemen. | 250 967 | ST 135 | 5% 1107 The average yearly wage payments to a// Western train em- ployes (including those who worked only. part of the. yeax) as shown by the 1915 payrolls were— Passenger Freight Yard Engineers. . « « . . $2038 $1737 $1218 Conductors « « o . . 1772 1624 1292 Firemen . o « + . . 1218 973 832 Brakemen. . . . . . 921 1000 1026 A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for°the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri- bunal speaking for you.. The railroads have proposed the settle- ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer- ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. This offer has been refused by the employes’ representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Goy- ernment determine this issue?

The Indian .department says the distribution will not be made until a roll of the Indians has been made, so .-| 88 to enable thém to determine the exact amount.of each'share. F. W. Pedke of Minneapolis, who has been acting-in-the matter, states-there are 11,400 Chippewas in Minnesota which would therefore mean $131.50 for e@ch man, woman and child. “Mr. Peake has asked Congressman Steenerson to find out when the dis- tribution' would be made, and has been notified that payment will be made. “as soon as practicable.” ORGANIZED SNEEZERS “ PREPARING FOR CONVENTION (By United Press) Bethlehem, N.
