his friends have to say is, HE has
an income from his books, which is
sold throughout the world-but
with that income and all his Doodle

$4,000 Challenge.

While this paper has never fully
investigated the "Single Tax Theory
that is, that all taxes should be
levied upon lands-it realizes that
there must be something in it which
does not appear at first glance.
This much is certain, that the rich
men are not paying their proportion
of taxes on land in the cities worth
from $500 to $1,000 per front foot.
They pay only small fraction OF
their just taxes on personal property
any way: And the unOccupied lands
of spectators go almost free OF
taxes, while the farmer who spends
money and labor on HIS land has to
pay taxes for doing the very thing
which ought to receive a bonus!
Just how the land tax idea makes
farmers taxes less however, and
throws greater share of the bur-
dens on the rich we have not yet
seen-admitting that we have not
thoroughly investigated it.
There must be something in it,
however, for c. j. Buell., the Presi-
dent Of the Minneapolis Single Tax
Club, has challenged the Tribune and
Journal to discussion of the PROPOSE
ton that the single tax taxes farm
ers less than they are taxed now. with
a forfeit of $ 5000! This looks as
though the two great papers better
put up or shut up" If the discus
sion ever comes off this paper will
take an active interest in it, and re-
port the points.

The following clipping is cut from
the Dawson Sentinel-J. C. knows
how:
Appleton Press: Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly delivered himself OF a long
winded address at the Madison fair
last week, which was OVERLOOKING
with gall and bitterness. Donnelly
is now bidding for the Farmers ALI
ance support, but like all his politi-
cal hopes, these new aspirations are
doomed to disappointment.
The above weak and untruthful
attempt at criticism was penned by
one Of those lightweight, crossroads
attorneys to whom Mr.. Donnelly re-
ferred in his speech with such supreme
contempt. Any man who has the
courage to tell the truth in public
gatherings is not safe from the fee
Die attacks of the "picayune hire
lings" of the press-fellows who,
while protesting regard for the well
fare of the people on whom they sub
sist, stand ever ready to decry and
deride honest efforts in behalf of the
people. Mr.. Donnelly, however, is
used to these Lilliputian attacks and
may we'll exclaim with his favorite
author, respecting these prating pig
mics of a venal press-''your words
pass by me as idle winds which l
respect not"
We may add to this that the editor
of the Appleton Press is one OF these
"Cross-field'' lawyers OF which we hear
so much OF late. No disrespect in
tended, as some can't be any better
than they are any way.

on the wheat crop. They were

ST. PAUL, MINI, NOV. 20, 1889.

We are told that we have made
our prism too narrow in estima-
ting on grading, but the constructor
who states this fact says that the
height (36 inches) for level prism,
was too high, SO that the general con-
tents was not out of the way. We
struck that kind of road. A grade
of IA foot service width, and 20 inch
height, gives one cubic yard of earth
to "shOvel" for ever foot of lineal-
that is for every foot of road.

The Union Pacific was one of those
enterprises which were born under
the parentage OF thegovernment. 1t
was first clothed in loan of millions
of dollars, and then given an over
coat of SO million dollars worth of
land! 1t grew fat on this-and as it
waxed fat it became purse proud.
Although it became so rich that it is
almost impossible to compute it's re-
sources, it refused to pay the interest
on the loan made by the government.

What it Costs to Build Rail-

roads.
The bonds and the stocks tell us
it costs $5S,OOO to build a mile of rail-
road as it averages up. The roads
of Minnesota are stocked, bonded
and freed to about $50, 600 to the mile.
OF this $41 900 is the stock and bond
investment, which demands interest
and dividends at the hands of the
farmers. Now what does it cost to
build these roads? This paper has
furnished an estimate at various
times, based ON ACTUAL EXPERIENCE
of contractors.
So far below even the Commission
ers' estimates have our various
figures been that the latter have not
received proper credence-for we as
sert that there is not a road in the
state which has averaged up $1O,-
900 to the mile.
In order to bear out our estimates
we append the following from a rail
road builder who has contracted
roads in Iowa, and Nebraska. We
only regret that we cannot append
this gentleman's name. AS to wheth-
err he is responsible or not, we can
say that he is now in the employ of
the United States government. He
puts the following statement in
writing:
"In one mile of grade, with an
average two feet fill, there are $500
cubic yards. 1t can be done for SC.
per yard $52S]. 1t has been done
for &c. this summer. A man and
team can make $3.50 per day at &C.,
while at work on grade from 5
feet down to l foot. [Grades in the
west average from one foot to two.
Larger grading outfits would rather
have from to 10 feet fill than the
same number of yards strung out in
a fill from one to three feet, for the
reason that there is less top to dress
up, and do not have to move so Oft
en-, and the larger part of the dirt is
in the bottom. One hundred feet is
called a station" The natural
slope of the loose dirt is II to each l
foot. This is the slope used in near
ly every case, both for fills and cuts.
In sand it is two to one. The width
of standard road is IA feet. 1t is
crOss-sectiOned every 100 feet, So sta
tons being alittle over a mile. A
two-feet fill, Aft at top and 20 at
base, average width II feet, gives 81
cubic feet to each foot of road Tx
cubic yards.
In case OF cuts, count road bed IA
feet, with 5-foot ditch each side, "a
feet wide at level OfrOad bed. Hence
figure a cut at "a feet instead of IA.
But the railroads do not pay for
cuts-they only pay for the dirt put
in fill,-unless the cut is SO large
that the fill, either side of cut, will
not take it wITHA HAUL OF 1000 FEET
After that they pay for what dirt is
wasted. las 1000 feet each side a
cut is nearly one-half a mile-or
quite half mile with the cut, in
such grading the roads do not pay so
much as on more level ground-the
cuts are done for nothing usually.
This has never entered into our es-
Inmates y Fifty miles of road in a
prairie country, with an average of
Is, 900 cubic yards permile [more than
twice the elevation of bed given
above] and with 10000 yards of
cut in the 80 miles, could be let for

you some contracts in a week or

years record; but the severe drought
cut short the bud OF promise, and af-
ter the middle of June it was neither
practicable nor desirable to continue
work in many localities. Thestorms
were frequent, and some of them very
severe, striking nearly every county
in the Territory, north and south
the losses (nearly 10000 were not so

crops being much lighter. For the

than the rice they could themselves
raise. Moreover, there is more talk
about the great things done by the
Chinese in rice cultivation than
seems to be warranted by the degree
of Importance attained by that pro-
duct in our trade returns. Much
land has been reclaimed from un.
productive swamps, it 10 true; but
the same land would in the course
of time, with the certain develop
ment of the country's resources, be
reclaimed for cultivation anyway
if not of rice, of something more
profitable. As it is now, should the
rice market drop below paying
point--and it often has very weak
spells--this land to be made avail
able for anything more profitable
would have to be reclaimed over
again, as rice plantation is more
swampy when in bloom than it was
in waste primeval.

IT H f.
A DANGEROUS PRACTICE,

The Advertiser is excited over q
brief item in this paper, of boy
that smashed in the end of car
with a stone. If our contemporary
doubts the incident the expenditure
of ten cents on the cars will take its
reporter to and from the damaged
car.,' 1t will probably cost ten or
fifteen dollars to repair the damage,
but even that is not what gives the
matter its chief Importance. We
are about to have steam railway
line opened in addition to the tram
ways. Throwing stones at trains
and cars is an occasional pastime of
hoodlums and toughs in other coun-
tries. Only four or five weeks ago
Prof. Hirst Of the University of Ca
lifornia was struck with q stone
thrown into q railway car, and at
last accounts be was likely to lose
the sight Of one eye from the injury.
Our authorities cannot be too severe
upon any person detected In this
dangerous and mad amusement. In
the case reported by US the stone
smashed in the end of the car, max
ing deep indentatlon on surface
of six by four inches. 1t would
have fractured any skull or broke
any bone that it might have struck.
We, however, forgive the witless
jibe OF the Advertiser, as the para
graph it gets out of the affair is al
most the only item of news in this
mornings issue. That paper seems
to belong to that section of the
stone-throwing fraternity which re-
sides in crystal palaces.

NATIVES AND RICE.

A letter on Hawaiian affairs in the
New York Tribune, by Mr.. G. D.
Gilman of Boston, former resident
of the islands, is copied by the Adj
vertiser with comments. 1t is very
fair on the whole; but it is not So
where it institutes an unfavorable
comparison between Chinese and
natives, with respect to what the
former have done in rice cultivation
here. The same thing is often heard
in Honolulu, however, and ought to
be answered. In the first place, it
is unreasonable to expect that the
natives should have been able TO
overtake the Chinese in such q pecu-
liarly Chinese industry as rice pro-
ductioL. Then there was no parti-
cular necessity of the Hawaiians to
grow rice for food they had other
products needing less toll TO bring
TO fruition, which fully satisfied them
in the matter of sustenance. There
is nothing so lucrative in the returns
from rice growing as TO be psrticu-
iarly alluring to natives or anybody
but Orientals born to the industry.
1t is not impossible to prove, even,
that many Chinese rice farms have
yielded no profit to successive assO-
Citations OF owners and workers. The
natives have done and are doing
much better for themselves in leas-
ing their lands to the Chinese for
rice growing instead of wading into
the uuwholesome work themselves.
If they are to be blamed let it be
for the improvidence many of them
have displayed in sacrificing their
ownership of the land for the graft
hcation OF temporary desires. Those
that hold ON to land suitable for rice
can make more out OF rents for it
