THAT 100 PER CENT.

Here Is Another Explanation of How 1t
E Was Accomplished. - .
A short time ago we published a.
clipping showing the enormous profit
made by a certain starch factory com
spany in Cambridge, Mimi, the past
season, having declared dividend of
one hundred per cent. This item has
created considerable talk and starch
corporations generally have been
roasted severely by the farmers who
consider such concerns little better
than highway robbers when such big
dividends can be declared and SO little
paid for potatoes. An investigation
OF this case shows that it was dog eat
dog. or farmer rob farmer, in that a
number of farmers in Isanti county
organized company for the purpose
OF manufacturing starch and to pre-
vent the farmers from being robbed.
When the time came to deliver the po-
tatoes to the factory it was natural to
suppose these agricultural STOCKHOLM
ers expected good price for their
product. But some of the more shrewd
ones. whose hearts were full of love for
their fellow workers, who were less
fortunate than they, suggested that it
would be better policy to pay s cents a
bushel to the stockholders and then
they could buy of those unfortunate
enough not to be stockholders and
compelled to sell there, at this very
low rate, The scheme worked to per-
lection and the farmers beat the farm
ers and later on declared a one hun
dred per cent dividend and had a
handsome surplus beside. Thus we
find human nature exemplified over
again. but what a poor thing is human
nature after. ALL There is another
side to this, also, which again illus
trates the greed of human nature. The
railroad companies learned of this
immense dividend and concluded the
starch companies we're making too
much money and raised the freight
rates on that prod uctwithont sufficient
Investigation. This alarmed the man
ufacturers causing them to protest
against such advance and to send a
representative to Chicago to lay the
matter before the railroad com panies.
Since then the railroad managers
have promised to restore the rates and
peace reigns once more - Wright Co.
Times.
7. Fl. Galley: of the Princeton com
pany was seen regarding this explain
alton and said that had he been able to
purchase stock at the prices quoted
in the above article his year would
have been very profitable too. AS it
was he paid an average of 1S4 cents for
his potatoes and the farmers were that
much richer. The local factory ground
about 10000 bushels of potatoes and
made some money. If ten and e-hali
cents which this company paid above
the Cambridge price had been added
to the profits, the interest on the in
vestment would have been large enough
to satisfy CARNEGIE.

j The statutes provide for a reduction
of the road taxes for those who use

County Treasurer Burrell has been
quite busy lately making out tax state
ments for people who own property in
this county and to the UNION he re-
marked that although it made consi-
derable extra work for him he wishes
everybody who paid taxes to him
would ask for these statements. At
the time they are asked for there is
seldom a rush. Then later when the
time for paying taxes has nearly ex-
pired the taxpayers rush in and unless
they have these statements it is neces-
sary to look over the records and this
occasions no little delay. If all tax
payers called for the statements. took
them home and compared them with
their deeds and then brought them in
when they paid their taxes, they would
be certain they were paying on the
right descriptions and there would he
no great delay in the treasurer's office
We hope the people will take advant-
age of this scheme and save al, con-
cerned a great deal of bother.

Warning Samoan Factions.

Chicago, March PA special to the
Chronicle from Victoria, b. c.. says: The
warning native factions in Samoa have
apparently not forgotten their differences
and it was feared when the last advices.
brought by the Warrimoo, left the island
that there would be another outbreak of
hostilities. The Malietoa people are pay
ing their taxes into the government
treasury at Apia while the Mataafa fol-
lowers demand that paynent shall be
made to their government by Leulemo-
ego. Those who declined to comply with
this demand were driven out of their viii
lagos and took refuge in Apia. To the
German authorities the Mataafa people
said they simply wished to collect taxes
and send them in a lump sum to Apia.
some of the followers of Mataafa who
went to the village Of Leone We're at
tackled by the natives and badly wound
ed. The reason for the attack was that
the village had been given to understand
that the Mataafa people proposed to en-
slave them.
