Harvest Festival

While not as full a representa-
ton Of the business men of the
city was at the harvest festival
meeting last Friday night as
could be desired, those who
We're there were unanimously and
heartily in favor of going into
the harvest festival celebration
A number of those present who
had seen these affairs conducted
in other places spoke Of the ben
efcial results and success with
which they were conducted.
With united effort along this line
there is no question but that a
grand success could be made Of
a fair of this character in Mil
bank. 1t will need the cooper
alton of the business men of the
city and generous subscription
of funds, but with these the
affair can be made a splendid sue
cess, redounding to the growth
aud prosperity of the town. A
committee with Mayor Saunders
as chairman was appointed TO
canvass the question among the
business men and secure the
necessary subscriptions for the
promotion of the enterprise.

The question Of the assess
ment of wheat in farmers
hands, was brought before the
county commissioners, but as
only four or five townships
had made the assessment, and
ia some of these only a partial
assessment had been made the
commissioners very properly
disposed of the matter by re.
fusing to put the assessment
on the books What puzzles us
IS that those who have been
pressing this matter of assess
ing wheat in farmers hands
are farmers themselves, and il
was only a short time ago that
We were told that the government
should build warehouses to store
the farmers grain and save
them from the necessity Of sell
ing thei. wheat at 4 dlsadvant-
age. There is nothing that
would more effectually compel
a farmer to sell his surplus
grain than this very thing Of
taxing 1t when he had gotten it
into his barn It would compel
a grand rush to the elevators
lust about the time the assessor
came around. The fact that SO
many farmers for various
reasons are compelled to sell
their wheat without choosing
their own time for it has been
one of the great disadvantages
they have labored under, and any
new tax upon them that would
further influence them to dispose
Of their grain at disadvantage
would be most unfortunate
We can see why the elevator
companies might desire this tax
to be imposed, and we can see
at least one good reason why 8
farmer, whether he has wheat OF
whether he has not, should be
opposed to it. It would be vel
for all to think it over very
carefully before imposing th'
tax upon the county.
