NEW THEIR MASTER’S VOICE ‘The one dominating figure in the financial crisisin New York Pierpont Mergan. He was the sme man who was capable by the ce of the genius and the strength LIS personality to unite all the fac- as tn a compact organization for He was the man to whom all seemed to turn with a common instinct. it is also significant of all the great powers of Wall Street he isthe one man wbo most nearly stands for the “squar deal.’’ He may not be im- maculate: who indeed is? But he at least represents that degree of hones+ rec was J. ty and honorin the tield of high finance, that has kept him clear of the smirch of the muck-raker. His interests have not been investi- gated or attacked. Those who have trusted him have not been wantonly deceived and in the houref stress this counted in the general acknow- ledgemeut of contidence which led his financial foes as well as his tinancial friends to turn to him to take coms mand aad to place in his hands the macy millions contributed for de- fense Aud it was nota simple matter to stop this onslaught which came sime ultaneously on both flanks and the ceuter. The people were assaulting s aud trust companiesin a frenzy for the loss of their savings. ogres of finance were eager to take advantage of others’ misfortunes and devour their wealth. The banks themselves were in danger of a devil- take-the-hindmost attitude. Who but Mr. Morgan could send word to the street, ‘Mr. Morgan asks ‘bat you do not self the market” and have it so generally obeyed? Who else could have brought the trust companies into a solid union for mutual protection? Who else could have given the same degree of cour age to the clearing house committee? Who else could have brought back the same amount of commun sense to the populace and stayed the flow of cash from the banks to secret vaults where it would remain idle when its help was most needed? Who else ve flooded the stock exchange ha stream of buying orders for the leading stocks as to stay the onslaught of bears and sustain the eould with market? It w 1 many sided contest and uo one else could have had placed at his command the tens of millions ef doilars needed to make it a suc- tess. They all ‘recognized the voice of their disc master’ and felt thatif they. eyed their day reckoning would And in one respect Wall Street has adopted a feature of the erthodox interpretation of thé Chris- tian celigion, its conscience can only be aroused through a fear of future puvishment. cou State Board of Equalization. The recent session of the State Board of Equalization will go down in history as one of the most active and painstaking sessions ever held hy a board of state equalizers. Oue of the most forcible evidences of the value of such a board was every day demonstrated to the public, although the aaily press distorted facts and suppressed valuable information in order that protected interests might be served. The board under the leadership of that sterling and gal- lant reformer Thomas J. Meighen of Preston, aided by Charles E. Vasaly of Little Falls were a constant thorn in the flesh of all tax dodgers and big corporations. No one escaped! the eagle eye of the board if these two gentlemer could help it. Bar- 4 ‘minor. able taxation. The mining properties in Northern Minnesota” were raised from $75,000,000 to $194,000,000, a raise of nearly $120,000,000. With a twenty- five mill tax for the counties where the mines are located it can readily be seen that a large revenue will be obtained ‘from that source. The share the state will get will reach a half million, or an increase of nearly $300,000 each year. The board did a magnificent work and at the next session of the legislature the people should rise in a body and demand that the law-making power of §the state reinstate that board where it belongs and clothe it with more power. ‘This board has been the only safeguard the state has had for years against tax dogers and it should not allow it to be killed at the behests of protected interests in the Twin Cities and Duluth. The present tax commission is a good thing and should be continued, but the court of last resort should be the state board. The last legislature did a fatal thing when it. agreed to the death of the bourd in 1909.—Sleepy Eye Herald. LUMBERJACKS ARE IN DEMAND The lumberjack is in demand this year in the northern woods. Al- though the logging season has not | ,|yet fairly commenced, reports from the woods of northern Minnesota indicate that there is a great demand | for labor in the lumber camps and that men are scarce. A further indicatioa of this is found in the wage agreement en- tered into by the big lumbermen of the state. Every year the lumbermen get to- gether and agree as tu the wages they will pay the loggers. ‘They have notified the state free employment bifteau that this year they will pay loggers $40a wonth a considerally higher figure than has ever been paid before. The lumbermen have not yet begun tosend men to the, woods in large numbers but it is expected that they will do so before long. WARNS AGAINST SHORT WEIGHT Undoubtedly the greatest fftaud now being prepetrated inthe sale or food stuffs in this state, as well as in nearly every other state in the Union, as the short weight and short measure fraud. The laws of the state prohitit misbranding of food products and when a container 1s labeled giving -the net weight the Statement must be true. The law requires a statement of the net weight on a few products, but does not require such a statement on a great numver of staple articles, The manufacturer or packer simply does not lavel the package he puts upon the market and the purchaser buys it thinking he is getting a pound, five pounds, a quart or a gallon, as the case may be. The practice is quite general and is the rule in the case of many products and not the expectious, The manufacturer of the packages makes them short weight or sbort measure according to the orders of the packer, who is to fill them with his products. One very noticeable short weight fraud is the practice of selling butter in jars. Tbe common half gallon butter jar is known by the trade asa ‘five pound jar,”’ but when it is filled level full with butter it will generaliy hold less than five pounds of butter. It is not difficult to find “FIVE pound jars® of butter on the market containing only four and one-half pounds -of butter. The customer who buys one of these jars of butter for $1.80 thinks he is getting butter at 36 cents per pound, while in fact he is paying just 40 cents ber pound. This department 1s powerless to compel a statement of the net weight on all food packages, as there 1s no law requiring such labelling, but until such a law in enacted there is so reliefin sight except that the individual purchaser can _ protect himself by weighing the goods he buys insisting on receiving what he pays for. Producers of and dealersin eggs are again warned against selling or offer- ing for sale eggs which are not fresh and wholesome.
