corporations continue enthroned in
government, franchises ''gra bbed," dis
elimination practiced and public plum
der be carried on until the people are
reduced to mere serfs. Is this putting
it strong? Read your history and you
will find it is true.
Is there a way out of this sad state
of affairs? There certainly is. A sys-
tenn tried, tested, popular. practical,
permanent and xpediant-dlrect legis-
lation through the lniative and Refer
endum. 1t has been tried and is now
the accepted system in Switzerland.
Tested in our own country by it's use in
the adoption Of constitutional amend
ments state and national, location of
county seats, local option laws, school
aud town meetings. Nobody objects to
it's use: all are satisfied with results OBJ
tanned. Why then should not this sys-
tenn be adopted to cover all impor tant
legislation? The people want fair play;
this system will provide the opportuni-
ty. There is no valid reason why it
should be denied US. The ''fixed dead
lock- will vanish, the :"lobbyist'' will
be out of job, the corporations cannot
buy all the people. No governor can
then interpose his veto; nor senate
"pigeon-hole" important bills; law
makers will then have no incentive to
log-rolling trickery or bribery, the day
of the influential boss' will go glim-
mering and a host of like evils will
vanish to return no more.
The whole process OF direct legisla-
tion brings law-making home to the
very people who are expected to obey
the laws. and is the only system where
the principles of majority rule'' can
be applied. Here then is plain, sim
pie plan by which clean, just and pop
ular government can be secured. It
will be the greatest day in the history
OF Minnesota when her people adopt it.

commonwealth then and now, as we'll
as our country generally, may we not
earnestly ask how shall we escape
from the blighting influence of ring
rule and political bosses? From class
legislation on the one hand and high
and excessive taxation on the other
from the giving away of immensely
valuable franchises aud afterwards be-
ing taxed TO maintain them for the spe-
cial benefit of highly privileged
class. That cruel injustices are prac-
tlced and grave wrongs committed, no
fair-minded person will deny.
In an effort to rid ourselves of the
evil results of class legislation, we have
organized protective associations, bus
mess mems unions, citizens leagues,
farmers alliances, grain growers as
sociations, COMMITTEES of fifty, commit
ties of one hundred and COMMITTEES of
the whole, yet in spite of all efforts
this corrupt influence has moved
steadil y onward, laughing in the face
face OF sincerity, until we now find our
selyes with a greater task than ever on
our hands.

destroying the cause. AS we'll might a
physician seek to cure deep.seated
disease by applying palliatives to the
symptoms, as for the people to arrest
the progress of corruption in govern
ment by the enactment of prohibitory
laws. The trouble lies in the system.
1t is breeder of the bad and has and
is bringing forth broods of corruption.
What we need is a better system, de-
stroying the source of evil and substit-
ing better system. Then and not till
then can we hope for permanent relief.
The trouble with the present system is
that it removes the law-making power
too far from the people. Our legisla-
lures both state and national, once
elected, are beyond control, out of
reach. They are absolute masters of
the situation, answerable to no one or
anything but their conscience, and too
many of them know that only by repu-
tation. Just so long as legislators are
left free from the control of the people,
just so long will the "third house" re-
main the supreme law-making power;

three years would be equivalent to crown
levy OF 81 Al upon every plOwed acre in Blue
Earth. 1t would not take dynasty of very
many years at this rate to eat up the value
profit and income of a farm. and thereby
yield the farmer the bare subsistence of a
landed tenant.
The entire taxable valuation of Blue Earth
including farms and Improvements, city and
village lots and wild lands all buildings and
scriptiOn, is something less than S11, 900 900.

Earth county per annum. A man who is as
sessed for81 900 would be down for S14 40 as his

erty would call for a $1A tax. Many citizens
OF Blue Earth doubtless pay the latter sum
OF the actual cost OF direct taxes, stamp taxes
and various war revenue taxes, including
tariff and internal revenue tributes to the
government and to the trusts, for the privi-
perial regime in subjugating and ruling for
eign tribes and provinces. The value of acre

Earth that is the bare farm and wild land, is
assessed by the state at s., ,9S7,164 Imperial
ism's assessment of S144,OOO per annum upon
Blue Earth is equivalent to tax of rs mills
upon al! acre valuation. If the government
at Washington should make the levy directly
instead OF Indirectly by evasive measures
and should send it's tax-gatherers to collect
the lmrerialistic levy in lump, there is not
a patriotic man in Blue Earth county who
would not rise to resist the imperiaiistic op-

TAX PER ACRE, TAX PER VOTER AND

Blue Earth is credited by the census with
imperialism therefore amounts to S14 per

republic are compelled to pay the govern
ment S14 a head to set up an empire in Asia,
to put down the cause of liberty in Luzon
and Porto Rico, to slaughter brown men and
protect slavery under the Sultan of Sulu.
The $14 per voter is not direct tax, it is
true, but indirect taxes are just as heavy and
on the man of moderate means are heavier,
and the money to support Imperialism comes
out of the public treasury just the same and
belongs to all the people. Blue Earth has
