Gross Earnings Bill Again.

1t is none to early to begin the cam
paign for the four per cent gross
earnings bill, which will be submitted
to the people of Minnesota at the
November election.
Two years ago it hardly seemed
necessary to agitate in favor of the
gross earnings bill submitted by the
legislature of 1901 after a struggle OF
Intense interest. The voters seemed
to be greatly worked up over the ques.
ton, and took summary vengeance
against members of the legislature
who had fought the bill. But when
they came to the polls, these sane
voters forgot to put cross mark op-
posite the "yes," ard the bill failed
to get the necessary popular majority,
receiving 100, 522 votes out of 1901.
There were 1898 votes cast against
it, on account OF doubt raised as to
the operation OF the new system pro-
posed by the bill.
The chances of success are better
this year. The 1903 legislature SUBJ
mitted another bill, and under 9 new
law the proposition will 60 on q
separate ballot, with the constitutional
amendments. 1t will thus attract
greater attention on election day.
Then the bill as drawn Is practically
Identical with the present law, except
that it raises the rate from three to
four per cent. There can be no posi-
ole question of It's validity, and no
question of the increased revenue It
will bring the state. There is no room
for doubt or controversy. 1t is only
necessary to bring the proposition to
the attention of The voters, to get a
favorable decision. It has not been
asitated for so long that poop have
almost forgotten about it, and in these
prosperous times they do not worry to
any extent about the distribution OF
the tax burden. A campaign OF edu.
cation is needed.
B 9TH political parties should declare
for the bill in their platforms. News.
papers should advertise it, and cam
paign speakers should never forget to
solicit votes for the gross earnings
DILL. 1t means an additional revenue
of over $500, 900 q year. Let US not
have another ''huke. ''-Mb,neapolis

any one interested weeks time in
which to look up the mans title to

twelve thousand Inhabitants no man
who is not registered is permitted to
vote. 1t would be we'll If the law WAS
changed to include cities of lesser
population within that provision.

THE ELECTION AFTERMATH.

The temper ance forces held an i'm
promptu jubilAtion meeting at the
Bonde hall in the evening of the cleo.
tirn day after the results became
known. A large number OF citizens
were called upon and responded with
brief speeches. The general trend of
the opinions expressed was that ga.
looms have seen their finish in Will
mar; that the grand victory just
achieved was the fruit Ct long years
OF struggle and agitation; that we are
reaping the fruits Of the work of men
who stood up and fought for the cause
when it was not only unpopular but
dangerous to do so; that continued
organization and watchfulness is nee
essary to prevent future defeats by the
never-tiring efforts OF men who YOU d
foist the nefarious traffic upon the
city. Several rising votes of thanks
we're given to the earnest workers in
the cause, among the ladies of the city,
the campaign committees aud the
speakers. Snatches of the national
hymn and the doxology were sung
with enthusiasm.
Considerable amusement was de-
rived by the people of the city in read
iny the report of the election in the
Gazette. Just what advantage that
sh ct could hope to secure by reading
twothirds of the city out from the re-
publican party is not plain to many
Of the citizens. The tenacity with
which it sticks to the misappropria
ton Of the party name in favor Of the
liquor interests in local affairs would
be worthy of better cause. Said a
citizen who is prominent in republican
circles. and who has become q resident
Of the city during the past year: "We
country people never had any Idea of
how rotten some of these Willmar pol
i.icians we're until we came to town

BENEFITS OF


The work of the Geological
Survey in carrying out the pro-
visions of the national irr1ga-
ton act has brought it to the
front as one of the great execu-
tive departments of the govern
ments. With a government irri-
cation fund which will be by
the end OF the present fiscal year
in the neighborhood of SOS, OOO,-
900 this work must be recog-
nized as one of the very large
internal improvements of the
country. Although irrigation
operations are confined largely
to the sixteen arid and semi-arid
western states, the eastern part
of the country must be more or
less interested for several rea-
sons. Men r constantly NOV
ing westward looking for new
homes where they can earn a
livelihood, or become land own
ers, while business men are in
terested in seeing a development
of the west which will afford
them wider home markets for
their manufactured products.
The changing of the western
deserts into tens of thoutands
of new and productive small
farms will not only relieve some
of the overcrowded sections OF
the east but will stimulate bus
mess of all descriptions, just as
the opening of the great Missis-
sippi valley provided u market
for the American manufacturer
such, as Secretary Wilson says,
as can be found in no other part
of the world.
Already the Geological Survey
has designated some sixteen
large irrigation projects in the
west, where huge i%mpounding
dams and bitches which will be
as large as rivers are to be con.
structed. Work has already
been commenced ON some of
these and the next two or three
years will e the national irri-
cation policy in full operation.
The $685. 600, 600 now prac-
tically available for irrigation
construction is by no means the
limit of this work, since the
fund is constantly growing
through the sales of western
public lands, and as soon as the
first irrigation work is COM
pletcd the cost of its construc-
ton will begin to come back in
10 the fund for use on some
other project. 1t is not intended
that the government shall give
away the irrigation works.
What government land is placed
under irrigation will be given
the hQpesteader free. condition
al only upon his residence and
cultivation; but the cost of put
ting the water on the land-the
construction of the dam and
main ditches-will he borne by
the settler. 1t is this business
like feature of the irrigation act
which has found for it such sup
port among the business men of
the country.

OREGON GOATS FOR ST. LOUIS
Carload of AngOras from Polk County
Will Be Exhibited at Big Fair.

Mr.. G. J. Fulton, of Helena, Mon
tana, arrived in Oregon, September
12, for the purpose of working up a
display of Oregon Angora Goats for
the Worlds Fair at St. Louis. He
arrived just in the nick of time as the
breeders of this state had all given up
sending goats to St. Louis. except
Craig Bros, and VIM. Riddell each
of whom expected to send three or four
by express, AS September 90 was as
late as it would be safe to ship car
by freight, Mr., Fulton did some lively
work. Craig Bros. preferred to take
no chances on shipping by freight
and their goats will go forward by ex-
press. U. S. Grant, who intended
some time ago to send an exhibit has
sold all the goats that he intended to
show, and did not care to risk ship
ping those which he is not willing to
sell.
At Monmouth, however, Mr.. Fulton
succeeded in making up a car from
the fiocks of J. B. Stump, Harris &
Riddell Bros, and William RiddelI,
and the car started September 20 in
charge Of the Two Riddell Bros. Mr..
Fulton deserves the thanks of Oregon
for securing this liberal representation
Of Oregon goats at the st. Louis show
as there would not have been to ex-
oeed ten Angoras from this state in |
he greatest Angora show ever held in
his country, which would have been
4 most inadequate representation of
he state which probably leads all
'thers in the importance of its Angora
industry.
Angora breeders from other states
will also be gratified in seeing this
LIBERAL display of Oregon goats. The
'nly thing to be regretted is that there
will not be more Oregon breeders rep
'esented, but that is the fault Of the
breeders and it must be generally ad-
nitted that the hocks represented are
good representative types of Oregon
Angoras.
