The Macaroni Wheat Issue.

The Commercial West seems to be
sustained in it's contention on maca-
roni wheat. When objection was made
last fall to the policy of the argicul-
tural department in it's advocacy of
the general sowing of macaroni wheat,
Secretary Wilson made spirited re-
spouse in opposition to any conser-
vative suggestion affecting the prop
osition. The department. had over
looked the securing of market for
the product, however, and following
the suggestion of this paper to that
effect, the department took up this
important part of the work about
September l with the result that for
eign markets are not promising as an
outlet.
Prof. Carleton, of the department.,
who has immediate charge of the
macaroni propaganda, has grown con-
sentative also, and he now advocates
the general growing of macaroni only
on lands that are not adapted to
spring wheat. This is commemorate
and on this basis macaroni can fight
for it's standing in the markets. To
have attempted to substitute it for
spring wheat, as Secretary Wilson
urged last fall, would have been sui
cidal at this time.
But best of all, macaroni has now
an official name given it by the Wash
ington bureau. It will be known as
"durum wheat" With durum grow.
ing on the dry plains, spring wheat on
the rich soils and crops in all the
other places, the northwest ought to
be prosperous. Commercial West.

ANENT GOOD ROADS.
Something Needed Besides Discussion and
Resolution in Making Goods Roads,,

something Needed Besides Discussion and
Resolution in Making Goods Roads,.
We will have from now on the usual |
bad roads, and good-roads "conven-
tionso and resolutions will be the
end of the matter until the people 90
to work and do something besides
talk and resolve. There are two sides
to this good roads question and I will
try and state few facts without any
intention of casting reflection upon
conventions or persons. One side is
that many of the roads in this and
many other parts of the State are in
an almost impossible condition large
part of the summer season. PEOPLE
find fault with the roads and they have
reason to for they are in bad condi-
ton, and finally the supervisors of
the town are notified or may be the
county commissioners are asked to
repair certain piece of bad road.
Perhaps a good-roads convention is
held about this time and the good
roads enthusiasts will say whereas y
and therefore resolved" etc. Super
visOrs, county commissioners and
good-roads convention men all say
that something must be done. Now
this is all right. Something must be
done, but here is the other side of the
question:: What is to be done and how
is it to be done. Our road tax that is
worked out every year is merely a
drop in the bucket toward keeping the
roads in good repair and in many in
stances when working out road tax
there is as much time spent in idleness
as there is in working. There is also
a general complaint that taxes are too
high. Men are not willing to pay a
moderate tax to keep roads in repair
This shows "a. lack of public spirit.
Roads cannot be built nor kept in re-
pair without money. There are few
rare exceptions to this rule, as in a
few districts men have given several
days work more than their tax. There
are number of roads laid out in this
county and some of them have been
laid out for several years that are
not opened and cannot be opened for
the lack of money to pay for the work
to be done. We can't open and keep
in repair the roads already laid and
petitions are being presented calling
for more roads to be laid out. Some
of them are needed, others are wanted
but are not a necessity.
Towns are in debt and the county is
in debt; rural mail routes are being
established which are very desirable,
but they force upon us the absolute
necessity of having good roads. Now
under existing conditions what are
we going to do with this good-roads
question. It is time to do more than
to agitate this question, it is time to
work instead of talk.

erybody to do telephone business
in the village. G.. A.: Dickey stated
that when DR.. Armitage asked for per-
mission to do a telephone business in
the village he was given a permit more
or less general in its nature, though
restricting him to certain streets in the
stringing of wires. The contract that
the Rural company wanted was to be
more explicit in it's provisions so that
the company could feel like it was
protected in it's rights and privileges.
Mr.. Dickey attacked the provisions of
the ordinance as drafted and called at
tention to the provision for a gross
earnings tax which he thought was
illegal and could not be levied by the
council. DR.. Armitage stated that the
laws of Pennsylvania and Minnesota
were very similar in the matter of a
gross earnings tax for telegraph and
telephone companies and said that the
law had been tested in Pennsylvania
where certain village had attempted
to levy a tax of dollar a year on
each telephone pole and the courts
said that village had no such rights.
DR.. Armitage stated that his tele-
phone business was growing at a rate
he never contemplated when he asked
for permission to construct lines in the
village. The company now has a hun
dred miles of wire strung in the vii
lage and 200 miles between Santiago
and Cambridge. He will be obliged
soon to put many of his wires in con-
duits and what improvements he will
make will be on permanent basis
and he desired to get some kind of a
contract or agreement from the village
so that he might feel safe and secure
in his rights. DR.. Cooney stated for
the committee that it was not the de-
sire of the committee or the council to
in any way place any unreasonable
restrictions on the company or place
it at any disadvantage. It was
thought best to draft a general ordi-
nance that would apply to all COM
panies. It was pointed out to the
council that if the ordinance was
adopted that the lines of the Rural
Telephone company or of the Maple
Leaf could be paralleled at any time.
Mr.. Dickey stated that the ordinance
might be amended so that all the ne
cessary restrictions and regulations
could be embodied in it and still make
it so that the council would have the
right to say what companies might
do telephone business in the village
which under the. charter cannot grant
any franchises and can only grant
permission to do business in the vii
lage. On motion of Trustee Craig
further action on the question was
postponed until the next regular meet
ing.
A communication was received from
Mr.. Hill of St. Cloud who established
the street grades, and he made prop
osition to the council to draft an or
dinance regulating street grades and
crossings but no action was taken by
the council.

East, is discussing the attitude OF
the United States in the event Of war

the leading dailies take a conserva-
