Candidate Cole Proposes Definite Remedies For the Colossal In- , justices That Prevails in Minnesota. In aepeech at St. Paul on Monday night last Hon. A. L. Cole made a speech that should be real by every citizen of the state. In part he said: “There has been an exodus of 10,000 from the rural districts of the state the past year. Something must be done to stop this and start a new growth of population for the state. This is important, not only for the farmers but for the city people. The cities now depend to a great extent on the trade of states westward. Soon these states will have their own manufacturing and jobbing centers. Then the large cities will go back- ward unless they can depend on the farming territory around then. Other states are taking our popula- tion away from us. We must do something to bring and keep settlers here. Mr. Cole also took up the railroad question and took issue with Gov. Johnson in some of his statements in his Red Wing speech, declaring that new Jaws were necessary and also the enforcement of the present laws. Mr. Cole also spoke briefly on the forestry question. ‘The meeting was the most enthusiastic which the club has had and Mr. Cole and Congressman Stevens were cheered heartily and a resolution endorsing the whole state ticket and Mr. Stevens was adopted, Ex-Governor Van Sant introduced Mr. Cole, who said in part: “My attention has been called to that part of Governor Johnson’s speech in which he criticises me for proposing as a solution of the railway rate question the adoption of new laws. If the governor will read my speech again he wi'l find that his charge is not quite fair. Itis true 1 advised the enactment of new laws to strengthen. our present statutes. But before doing so I insisted that the first thing to do was to vigorously enforce the laws we now have. Among other things [ said in my speech at Kenyon and have since re- peatedly insisted, that there are al- ready on our statute books laws which, when vigorously enforced, wilt afford «very substantial relief, and I added that ‘the vigorous enforcement jof our laws cannot be insisted upon too strongly. Not only should there be vigorous enforcement of our state laws, but we should at all times en- deavor to create public sentiment which may insure the enfurcement of our federal rates statutes.’ “But while I hold this view and have emphasized it where everI have had an opportunity to talk on the subject of railroad regulation to the people, I must emphatically dissent from the position of Gov. Johnson that the laws of Minnesota governing railroads and railroad rates are both ‘etticient and sufficient.’ If that were the case, and Gov. Jonson were as zealuus for their enforcement as he professes to be, surely in the 20 months that the duty bas devolved upon him to take care that all the lews be enforced, he could have «done something to secure relief for the burdens the railroads have put upon them. “But although he regards the laws etticient and sutiicient to afford the people all necessary relief, there is no evidence that he ever sought to apply them to secure the relief. We have the authority of the railroad | Pane | and warehouse commission for stat- ing thatup to the middle of last August Gov. Johnson had never ab any time in the office of the commission or any other place con- ferred with or criticised the commis- sion or any member thereof in any matter pertaining to the rate ques- tion or to the rail s of this state nor has any complaint, either oral or written or otherwise come to the office of the commission from the governor regarding the matter of rail- road rates or matters involving the supervision of the railways of this state. Surely this should not be the case if our laws are ‘efficient and suf- ficient.’ ; “Perhaps in this connection it is worth while to point out that up to the present hour the people have had to pay as high rates as the day the governor-was inaugurated; that the discriminations made then are made can accomplish in building up a towu.! now and that every injustice which (Grand Rapids. / DEFECTIVE PAGE | state. in Minnesota are as ‘appalling to- day as they were January 1, 1905, and the only relief we can certainly de pend upon is that voluntarily offered us by the railroads themselves acting under the pressure brougnt to bear upon them by the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners. “So far from regarding our railroad laws as ‘effective and sutticient, I think in addition to the reform I have mentioned and to facilitate and not delay the relief justly demanded by the people the public interest requires as I have already pointed out: “The passage of a law providing for a jail sentence for rebaters. “The passage of a law for the abol- ition of the pass system. “The passage of a law for the reduc- | tion of passager rates to 2 cents a mile, “The passage of proper and sufii- cient demurrage laws. “The passage of a law to prevent the abuse of the private car system. “The passage of a law specially au- thorizing tbe railroad and warehouse commission to determine the actual value ,of railroad property with a view to such value being used as a basis of railroad rates. “The passage of such laws as are necessary in all ways that are prac- tical and berefical to the people to make the railroad statutes of the state conform to the rate regulation law recently enacted by the federal government.” _ NEW TOWNSHIPS TO BE OPENED The following important news item comes from Big Fork under date of September 17: ‘‘Inspector Van Winkle has brought great joy to the squatters of this vicinity by arriving to inspect the surveys of eleven town- ships which have been withheld from the market for nearly two years since surveyed. He is accompanied by En- gineers English and Henne. Albert Lachapelle and Andrew Paul have ac- cepted positions with the party and the work of inspection has well be- gun. The towns to be inspected are 65, range 27; 66, ranges 24 and 25; 67, ranges 25 and 27; 153, ranges 25 and 26, 154, range 27 and , Tange Townships 66, ranges 24 and Si, rapges 25 and 27: 68, ranges 26 and 27, all are tributary to Littlefork and incidentally to International Falls and are the ones the Commercial club has been interested in getting open- ed.” STATE PROCEEDS AGAINST MAYOR Papers in the suit of the state of Minnescta exrel, the attorney general city of St. Cloud, are in the hands of Stearns county officiais for service on the defandant, The gravamen is to declare a forfeiture of offe under section 4545 of the Revised Laws of Minnesota, which provide that an action may be brought by the attorney general against a public officer who doves or suffers acts, which by law cause a forfeiture of office. The acts charged against the mayor are the wilful violations of section 1561, 1562, Revised Laws 1905, whereby itas made tlie duty,of the mayor of a municipality, among other * officers named, to make complaint of known yiolations of the liquor laws of the His refusal and neglect to do| so works malfeasance in .oflice, and he can be punished by a forfeiture ot office and the imposition of a fine not exceeding $500, aad not less than $100. No lawy at St. Cloud was willing to take charge of the case, and’ the action locally is represented by George W. Feterson, furmerly county attor- ney. The Reason Why. We were asked this week by a de- linquent subscriber why we kept on sending the paper after the subscrip- tion date had expired. Every weekly newspaper in towns of this size are forced to do this. Should we stop subscriptions when the time expires nine times out of ten the subscriber would gives us a “calling down” for insinuating that his credit was not good. Rather than to casta reflectin against the honesty of a subscriber to pay a Small debt, it is next to a necces- sity for a home paper to continue sending the paper after the time has expired. It is not neccessary for the city dailies or weeklies to follow this rule, as their subscribers live at a distance and are not personal friends as is the case with the majority of our subscribers. Our ‘subscribers should deem it an honor to know that we do not doubt their integrity and continue tosend them the paper after their time has expired. Should any desire their paper discontinued they should | notify us and remit to Wate ifthey have not already done so. Nine-room house-for rent. Enquire | of George W. Prescott at Bovey or ys. J.
