The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1886-10-28
What Is it.

The ADVANCE last week was partic-
ular about insisting that the cOnven-
ton held at Adrian last Thursday was
an Adrian convention. We did so be-
cause W. knew it was gotten up by
Adrian men and because the delegates
were located mainly in the townships
about Adrian. 1t seems, however, that
we were not descriptive enough. We
should have said an Adrian Democratic
convention. A. prominent Republican
in the west end writes rs follows to
County Attorney Lange:
And remember further. the so-call-
ed Peoples convention held in Adrian
was not an Adrian convention rs we
intend to show you ut the polls. It
WAS q Democratic Convention and
what few Republican enforced recog-
milton there are ashamed of their COM
pahy. Don't imagine that many Re-
publicans, not even all the Democrats,
are going to back many nominees of
that convention"
II 80, We were right last week in say
ing:
1--WE do not believe that the bulk Of
the people of Adrian take stock in this
scheme. Especially are we unwilling
to believe that anything like majority
nf the people Of the west end take
stock in it,
And, if the above correspondent is
correct, we rise to amend and call it AN
Adrian Democratic scheme.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1886-10-28
Not too Soon.

Some friends of the Republican tick
ct in this end think that the ADVANCE
spoke too soon and too plainly about
the Adrian convention. and some
friends in the west end, it is claimed,
have taken umbrage at it and made it
on excuse to 60 back on the ticket.
Well, u poor excuse is better than none.
We believe we spoke not moment
too soon nor too plainly. We said dis
tiDctly that we did not believe the
bulk of the Adrian people endorsed it
nor that the bulk Of the west end took
stock in it,
For the rest, if it is a democratic
dodge. let it be shown up. II so, it)was
an Adrian democratic scheme, with 4
bitter feeling against Worthington and
the east end behind it.
Let it be shown up just as it is.

H0WAudjt0rmiIIs Beats
The Settlers.
Il is done to Increase his Sal.
ary and Speculate.
As Agent of Miller and
Thompson.
Bishop ireland Defending tho Set
tiers AGAINST Mills.

The last decision that Judge Sever
ance filed as judge of this district, was
to set aside the tax against 60 settlers
on railroad lands put on the rolls by
Mills. In court it was disclosed that
Is or 20 of these settlers had paid the
tax, it was marked paid on the treas
urer's books, and returned to Mills
marked ''paid." Notwithstanding
this, Mills returned the tax as delin-
Quent, published it in the ADVANCE
among the delinquent lands and
sought to get q judgment as if the tax
was unpaid.
Judge Severance struck it off on the
ground that it was paid by the set
tiers. Mills refused to recognize
Judge Severance's judgment, and in
the fall entered judgment against this
land and had it sold for taxes already
paid and which the court had also
stricken off. Mills sold it himself, and
his principals, Miller s. Thompson, the
rich bankers OF Rock Rapids, bid
it in.
Then the railroad land company. in
order to protect the settlers. obtained
an order from State Auditor Braden to
cancel the judgment. Mills refused to
obey the order. Suit was then CON-
menced and under pressure Of the suit,
Mills cancelled the judgment.
Mills then drew his order in favor of
these bankers for the full amount with
II per cent. interest from the day Of
sale. This interest, amounting to
about 500, had to be paid by the
county.
Why? Because section 81, Of chap.
II, of the statutes provides that when
property is illegally sold for taxes, the
County Auditor shall refund to the tax
title purchaser the amount he bid and
interest on that sum at IL per cent.
Now see: Whenever Mills can put
any illegal tax on the rolls, it increases
his salary and the amount he is allow
ed for clerk hire, Sec. 142. chap. 8, Of
the statutes, fixes the Auditors salary
by the amount of the assessment roll
and not by the amount Of legal tao.
Mills, acting as agent for the bank
ers, Miller & Thompson, in this way
borrows money from them for the
county at II per cent. Both Mills and
the bankers thus speculate in illegal
taxes and the people suffer for it.
Every settler on railroad lands who
has paid tax on the land has paid it H.
legally. Sec. 3, of chap II. of the tax
law. provides that settler on railroad
lands shall not pay tax on the land but
only on the Improvements. Mills per-
sistently taxes them on the land and
improvements. Every settler on rail-
road lands can look ut his receipt and
when it shows tax paid on anything
but the improvements. the tax is ille-
gal and lost through Mills.
The railroad company has tuken mp
the defence of the settlers to whom
they have sold lands. They did 80 at
the urgent request Of Bishop Ireland,
and during the last two years have set
| aside over 200 of these illegal cases
against settlers.
These are all matters of record
Among the cases pending this term ot
court are Peter Steinback on sec. 1O1'
| ~, and one on mel sec. 8 1O3-43.

&. S. MILLS PARAMOUNT TO
The State Constitution,
AND ALL THE AUTHORITIES.

Article 4, section 81 of the state con-
stitution provides that any law pro-
viding for the repeal or amendment Of
any law heretofore, or hereafter enact.
ed, which provides that any railroad
company shall, in lieu of all other tax
Is on their real estate, roads, rolling
stock and other personal property, pay
into the treasury Of the state y per.
centage of the gross income, shall, be.
fore it shall take effect, he submitted
to the vote of the people. and be adopt.
ed by a majority of them.
This clause of the constitution was
carried by a vote of $4,000 to 5000.
No such law has ever been passed by
the legislature, and If it had been pass
ed no such law was ever submitted to
the vote of the people.
Mills knows that in the face of this
constitutional provision railroad lands
cannot be taxed except bya system
based on the sross earnings OF the road.
He knows that when he year after
year places these lands on the tax rolls
the courts have and will strike them
off, and that the only effect of putting
them on is to increase his salary and
clerk hire by increasing the nominal
assessment. and to make the county
refund to his principals, Miller Il
Thompson, the sum they buy their H.
legal tax titles for, and interest at II
per cent.
As this is the only effect of Mills
work, and he is we'll aware OF it, the
only conclusion that can be reached is
that such Was his object, to help him.
self to $500 a year extra pay. and to
help the Rock Rapids banks to $500 to
81, 900 a year interest ON their illegal
sales.
Until the state constitution is
amended the present system Of taxing
railroad lands must stand, whether it
is right or wrong.
Mills refuses to obey the decisions of
Judge Severance and Judge Perkins.
He refuses to obey an act of the state
legislature. He refuses to obey the
state auditor, and to make the thing
doubly ridiculous, he declares that he
is not bound by the state constitution.
There must he some money consid-
Grafton back of all this for a man does
not deliberately make fool Of himself
for nothing.
That money consideration is Mills
increased salary and clerk hire. and
perhaps share of that interest that
the Rock Rapids bankers get, year by
year, through his efforts.
Now remember that Mills poses be-
fore the people ~ the friend of the far
mer against the railroad land compa.
ny. But all the effect of his stubborn
ness is ~ to increase his own salary;
(2) to put the farmers to extra expense
and trouble; (3) speculate along with
Miller & Thompson out OF illegal tax
titles.
To put lands on in order to make a
test case and get decision would ce
right enough. But to go on putting
property on after decision has been
secured time and again, and after all
instructions from superior authority,
proves that there is big milk specu-
lation in the cocoanut.
The only reason is to increase Mills
income.

BITTER BREAD.

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them a disagreeable, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use OF all
impure baking powders, and is caused
either by their containing alum Intro.
duced to make cheap article, by the
impure aud adulteratcd character of
other ingredients used, or from the
igorance of their manufacturers of the
proper methods of combining them.
These baking powders leave in the
bread residuum formed of lime, earth.
alum, or other deleteriOus matters, not
always, though frequently, tastable in
the food, and by all physicians classed
as injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this seri-
Gus defect: In its use no residuum is
left, and the loaf raised by it is always
sweet, light, and wholesome, and no
ticeably free from the peculiar taste
complained of. The reason of this is
because it is composed of nothing but
absolute pure materials, scientifically
combined in exactly the proper proper
tions of acid and alkali to act upon and
destroy each other, while producing the
largest amount of rising power. We
are justified in this assertion from the
unqualified statements made by the
Government chemists, who after thor
0ugh and exhaustive tests recommend.

because of it's superiority over all 9th
ers in purity. strength, and wholesome
ness. There is no danger of bitter
