Increase In Number Of Unemployed.
The sudden increase in the number
Of unemployed in the United States, as
reported by the American Federation of
Labor oficers-from per cent. in Oc-
tober to 6 per cent. in January-has
created a good deal-of surprise in many
circles, but not among the people who
have watched with grave apprehensions
for the future of the combinations of nu-
merous private manufacturing institu-
tions into trusts. 1t is inevitable that
such process will throw out of en-
ployment hundreds of5thousands of la
borers of all kinds. These men will
have to find employment in other lines,
and by SO doing will of necessity force
others out, and those who will finally
have the whole brunt Of Unemployment
to bear will be the very ones who are
the least able to stand it from a none
tary and social view. Well may we say
with the ruler of old, "Watchman, what

; Our Last Legislature.

Render unto Caeser the things that
are Caesars" and nothing ever gave us
more pleasure than to commend the ac-
ton of the last legislature. We have
never known a legislative body that took
more advance ground than has this
one The Torrens system of land titles
and the primary election law are two
especial measures that can be termed
Populistic fads, these two, with the gross
earnings tax bill, board of control and
tax commission are five measures that
appeal to the good sense of every one.
While we have been uncOmpromising
in our opposition to fusion, in state and
nation, we are willing to acknowledge
that the growing opposition to the Re-
publican party in this state has put them
on their good behavior, and as result
we are largely indebted for the laws
above mentioned. The evolution of pub
lie sentiment is setting strongly toward
the Omaha platform, and II we shall
live Is years much of that platform will
be chrystalized into the laws of our
country. We thank the Republican par
ty of this state, for now they become the
defenders of the primary election bill,
which leads naturally to the initiative
and referendum.-New Era.

Public Ownership.

The United States and Great Britain
are the only two first-class nations that
do not own and operate some of their
railways. In comparison with private
ownership, government control is proved
to have been a great success in every
case. There is reduction in freight rates
and passenger fares and the entire aboli-
tion of the dangerous deferential sys-
tenn, abolition of strikes, an improve
ment in the postoff1ce and an improved
condition Of the overworked and under
paid railway worker, who, when dis
abled or worn out by long service, is
pensioned by the government. In New
Zealand, where the railways are not only
owned by the state, but nearly all built
by the state, the wages of the EMPLOYEES
average 30 per cent higher than those
paid on the railways of the United
States. You can ride 30 miles there for
10 cents. The annual profits Of the rail-
roads, postal telegraph, telephone and
express are sufficient to pay all the fed
eral taxes. Notwithstanding the great
extent of the country and its sparse pop
ulation, first-class service is rendered the
people. 1t has, been figured that under
government ownership we could travel
from Boston to San Francisco for 81.

Argentine Flax for Seed.

Six thousand bushels of Argentine fax
have been received at New York, bound
for Duluth, Mimi, whence it will be dis
tributed throughout North Dakota for
seed. Some Is bushels were brought to
Duluth year ago and used for seed, and
SO successful was the experiment that
this large operation is undertaken The
Argentine seed will cost more than 81
a ,bushel delivered at Duluth. 1t is the
first time any foreign seed in any con-
siderable amount has been imported.
This Argentine fax is larger, plumper,
richer seed than that of the Northwest
ern American states, and is said to con-
tain several per cent more oil. AS the
flax industry of the Northwest is now
an immense affair, it is important that
it should have the best seed The seed
now being received will SOW about 10000
acres
Duluth has received more than 6,00O,-
900 bushels of flax on the crop of 1900
Minneapolis has received 100000 and
oOAAC G,VVV,VOV OuoACAo AAOAC nave 6OuC
elsewhere. Eighty per cent of the flax
crop of the United States is now grown
in the territory tributary to Duluth, and
the proportion is constantly growing.
There were 100000 acres sown in the
three states of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas last year and the indications are
for an acreage of 100000 this year
Last year the crop was failure in many
sections, and thousands of acres were
not gathered 1t is expected that after
spring seeding is completed there will
be practically no fax left in the hands
of farmers.
The seed used in the Argentine came
originally from Russia, it is uniformly
large and clean, with no field damage,
from which American seed suffers ma
terially. The Argentine crop Of this
season was phenomenal, averaging
about 16 to 18 bushels to the acre, while
whole districts went Is to 80 bushels to
the acre. It is from these latter that
the imported seed comes.-Central

Income Tax Gaining.

A graduated income tax has been fav-
orably reported to the legislature of
Michigan and the bill will probably
become law. 1t lays a small tax
on all incomes over $1,000, and increases
the tax in proportion to the increased
incomes.
That is an example that should be fol-
lowed by all states. Even though the
federal courts repeal income tax laws
passed by congress, there are many
states in which such laws will be sus-
tanned by supreme courts.
Instead of three months struggle in
the Nebraska legislature to see which
railroad corporation should secure two
senator's, suppose our legislators had
spent portion of the time in passing an
income tax law, whereby rich men
should pay something to the common
wealth for the protection of their vast
estates, how much better it would have
been for the people.
A few thousand dollars taken off of
the farms and placed upon the incomes
of the rich men of the state would be
q blessed good thing for the state at

HOW DO HOu Like This Classification
The only nations in the world which
do not own their railroads wholly or in
part are Zululand Costa Rica, Guate-
mala, Monte Negro, Cuba, Mexico, Per-
sia Venezuela, Spain, Bolivia, Morocco
United States and Great Britain.
The nations owning their railroads are
Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Rus
sia, Austria and more than 40 others.
This ought to settle the question of
the feasibility of public ownership, as
every advanced nation in the world but
two has adopted this policy and adheres
to it after having given it fair trial.
A railroad expert has given us the
following estimate of what could be
saved by the public ownership to the
people Of the United States:
They can save in round millions:
l. BY abolishing 500 presidents
with their staffs. ..... 30
BY abolishing the high priced
managers and their stats. ..... s
8. By abolishing attorneys and legal
expenses ............ ........... Is
4. By abolishing competitive Off
GERS, solicitors, etc. Is
5. By abolishing seven-tenths of
the advertising .... ........ s

Z. By use of the shortest routes. 30
8. By consolidation of working de-
pots, officers and staffs 20

10. BY avoiding strikes among en-
ployes ............. ......... 10

pies treasury 50

VI railways. ..... 1922 ,OOO, 900
Ihus, public ownership of railroads
would save SO annually to every family
in the United States.
Isn't that sufficient inducement Tn
justify us in giving increased promi-
nence to this question?

Indeed, the city has realized in 80 Diff

Of service which comes from the public
ownership of lighting plants, street cars,
waterworks, markets and other public

that no clearer tribute to the success Of
the system can be paid than by the fact
that the entire revenue Of the city is de-
rived from its public works and institu-

the public employees have been shortened

IMPERIALISM

For several years there has been effort
after effort made in congress to so
amend the postal laws as to greatly
cripple the weekly papers. Each time
the project has been defeated. but it
took almost superhuman efforts to do
it. Now these papers are to be attacked
from another direction. The third as
sistant postmaster general has sent out
circular to 400 publishers asking how
they would treat an arbitrary order from
the postal authorities forbidding the use
OF the mails to any paper that offered
a premium to subscribers and intimating
that such an order will be issued if too
much opposition is not manifested
Such an order, after congress has re-
fused to enact such a law, would be an
act of pure imperialism. The Independ-
ent has long warned it's readers that this
government could not long endure half
imperial and half free, and this threat
of the postoffice department is only the
result of the policies pursued by the ad-
ministration for the last four years.
There are millions of property that
would be wiped out of existence by such
an order. Nearly every daily and week.
ly in this state as we'll as in all the other
states would be stricken with a blow
from which it would be hard to recover.
for nearly all of them secure subscrib-
ers by offering premiums. What is the
difference in Offering a premium from
paying so much cash to the person who
spends time in getting subscribers?
There is one class of papers that would
be greatly benefited by such an order,
and that is the great dailies in the large
cities. Their editions are now largely
distributed by the express companies,
with whom they have special privileges.
The result of such an order would be
to transfer much of the business now
done by the postoffice to the express
companies, who would Immediately
take it up.
Such policy would put every paper
at the mercy of the postal authorities.
1t would open wider path to favoritism
and bribery than is now found anywhere
Cn earth. 1t would be the end of even
pretense of free press. But such is
the policy proposed by the present ad-
ministration. The editors of the state
would better wake up. Some day they
will receive a notice from the postoffice
that their papers are not mailable Then
it will be too late, for they can no longer
reach the people. Write a letter to the
third assistant postmaster and tell him
what you think of this sort of imperial
ism brought from the Philippines into
the United States. If congress won't
pass a law to suit. just issue an i'm
perial order and the thing is DONE That
is the point to which we have arrived.
The only excuse for this business is
that there is a deficit in the postal reve-
nues. Everyone knows that that deficit
would be more than wiped out if the
government insisted that the railroads
should carry mail matter at the same
rate that they carry express matter. The
result of the order would be to transfer
the distribution from the postofice to
the express companies large part of the
second class mail matter There would
be immense profits to the express COM
panies on account of the lower rates
that they get from the railroads.&c.

HOW ISLANDS FORM.
An Interesting Description Of Their
Origin and Growth.

An Interesting Description Of Their
Origin and Growth
DR.. Charles c. Abbott, who always
writes so pleasantly about Nature and
her works, tells the readers Of ST.
Nicholas how an island forms. He
says, among other things: Islands are
formed in several ways, and If large
are generally looked upon as fairly
permanent features Of the earth's sur
face; but occasionally they disappear,
and we are surprised at the history
their destruction reveals. One such
island, on which 1 played when a boy
had no appearance Of being otherwise
than a part Of the mainland around
which the water had worked its way;
but the truth was revealed when the
soil was removed and the core Of the
island proved to be a stranded tree, It
was clear that a very long time ago
some great freshet had uprooted n
carried down stream a large tree, n
that It had lodged at some shallow
spot. No sooner was 1t an obstruction
to the free flowing of the water, han
it began catching drifting material, n
this, securely lodged, was an addition
al check to the progress Of anything
floating. Such a barrier o o begins
to collect sand about it, and the growSh
Of an island is then begun. In the
sand lodge seeds Of water plants, n
these rank growths, if submerged spe-
cies, check the current and float
ing particles to sink; and, later, taller
plants, like wild rice, spatter-dock and
arrow head, take root and flourish.
Thus, by various modes, the soil is ac-
cumulated, or, as 1 said, the island
grows. Then the seed Of some tree
lodges, and a maple, a willow, or a
water birch takes root. Dry land Is
made at last; grass starts, and the
birds frequent the spot. It may be the
work Of a few years or many, or OF
centuries. but this Is the history OF
some Of the islands In our rivers n
creeks. Perhaps we never think on
this when walking about. and that is
where we make a grave mistake. NO
matter what the character of the To-
cality, It IS always well 70 look up is
geological history. that we can the
