SENATOR NELSON has taken up the cudgel io behalf of the printers of the country and will endeavor to havea law passed prohibiting the govern- ment from entering into competition with them in printing and furnish- ing envelopes at a cut rate price. 0+ —_—__ GRAND RAPIps has one of the best hotels to be found anywhere in a town of like size, and it has several very good hostiteries at rates below the conventional two-dollars-per-day. Whatitis greatly in need of is at least one more first-class hotel. A good opportunity for some good hotel man a es pee C. OLivER IsLIN, a several-times millionaire of New York, paid two million dollars fora count to marry his daughter. He is probably a shrewd business man and simultane- ously with the payment of the two millions he created a sinking fund with which to pay for the. divorce and alimony. amas RANSON METCALFE of the Two Harbors Iron News is one of the very ablest editors on the press of North- ern Minnesota and he gets out an ex- cellent paper. It’s too bad he’safflicted with crankology and opposes every- thing that everybody else wants. Now he is objecting to Johnson be- cause he vetoed the tonnage tax Dill. On April 30 the Duluth Daily Herald issued a special ‘‘Prosperity Edition” that would be difficult to umprove upon. It covers every in- dustrial subject known to this sec- tion of Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin. The edition contained ninety-six pages. It wasa_ publica- tion of vast value tothe Northland country. BERRYHILL of the St. Paul Record says: “Johoson may veto the ton nage tax, but we dare him to run for governor again.” Well, should John- son conclude to retain his present situation it will be highly advisable for the opposition to step aside when he approaches the wire on-the home stretch, Mr. Berryhill and his Record to the contrary notwithstand- png. wi be EBERHART for governor on the Re- publican ticket and Works for con- gress on the Democratic ticket in the Second district, is announced from Mankato. Hammond is now the ove lone Democrat from Minnesota in congress, having been twice elected. Should he again aspire to the office there should be.no Democratic opposi- tion, and if Johnsun concludes to remain as governor, what’s the use . of Eberhart butting in? It would be another case of ‘‘also.’’ THE attempt on the part of Southern Minnesota to steal enough revenue from the iron mines of Northeastern Minnesota to pay all expenses of the state government, was bad enough, but the efforts now being put forth by certain papers of that section to defend the attempted hold-up is appaling. They should be arrested and prosecuted as ‘‘access- ories after the fact.” Some of them have the bold affrontery to criticise Governor Johnson for stopping the steal. ph eg Tue Biwabic Times offers this timely suggestion: ‘‘Don’t forget that Governor Johnson is_ being roundly abused in the southern part of the state for vetoing the tonnage tax bill.

Our enemies are not sparing in their abuse; let our praise be also most generous.” pooner ogee ES It’s Too bad that Brother Ives of the Cass Lake Times dosen’t employ some drastic measure that will in- duce his press manipulator to geta clear printon his splendid weekly issue. The judge gets up an excellent paper editorially and locally, and turns it over to an apparently indolent printer who spoils it all by failing to put on a little “impression,” which requires alittle more pullon the ‘Washing- ton.” There’s absolutely no excuse for a poorly printed paper, other than laziness. Put on the “pull”? and make the Times sbine. It deserves better treatment than it has been receiving fora long while back. We like to read the Times, but baye been unable to do so with any comfort. eisai HS A SAMPLE COMPARISON. Papers in this section of the state are beyinning to wake up to the fact that Northeastern Minnesota has long been sucking a lemon instead of a “sunkist” orange, in the matter of taxation. The Biwabic Times makes a comparison between Rice county and some of the northern counties in this connection. It makes interest- ing reading. In the tonnage tax agitation, “which has just started,’’ many in- teresting features were lost sight of in the effort to save our bacon at any cost. Newspaper readers have noticed the statement that fifty-eight counties receive a greater amount than they pay in state taxes, and that the remaining twenty-seven counties nut only support the state government, but pay the bonus to the fifty-eight leeches. Few, however. known that one of the worst offen- ders in the latter class is Rice coun ty, the very center of the tonnage tax agitation. Rice county, so rich that the banks of Northfield, not by any means the largest town, carry de- posits exceeding 31,500,000, paid the state $30,851.72 and receiyed back from the state $32,437.70. Itasca county for the same year paid the state $67,000.79, and received back from the state but $15,810.70. Which * proves without further argument that one portion of the state is being despoiled for another section. oe es A BILL TO CREATE LITIGATION. This is the comment of the Missis- sipp! Valley Lumberman upon a law proposed by the recent session of the legislature prohibiting lumber com- panies doing business at more than one point in the state from selling at lower prices at one point than at an- other. The bill provided that proof is necessary that such difference in price at different points is for the purpose of stifling competition. The Lumberman bases its objection to the bill vo the ground that it may compel lumber companies to pay heavy costs in the courts before they can secure justice—ia other words it places in the hands of local authori- ties a means of nagging and seriously annoying the lumber companies. There seems to be some justice in the Lumberman’s complaint in this re- spect. . The bill was defective in another respect, however, and seriousiy de- fective. “It is one of those laws that encourage litigation. The purpose of Jaw should be to maintain justice for the state and for its citizens and to make justice as speedy and as easy to be had as possible. ‘Chis bill was one of those ostensibly proposed to secure justice that make justice difficult and uncertain, for it did not provide a specific offense, but left the offense to official determination.. This is the defect of the Sherman anti-trust law, to remedy which those who honestly move for its amendment have been endeavoring to change it. Any law which leaves an ofiense to judicial determination had better never have seen the statute book. It is directly encouraging to litigation, which all law should aim to prevent, and it renders justice uncertaio by making it depend upon judicial opinion rather than upon facts. Bills of this character are properly termed “‘fool bills.” They are the result of hasty, careless or indifferent legislation, and such legislation it is that does so much to throw discredit upon law-making bodies.
