TO BOOST VALUATIONS
State Board of Equalization to
make Appreciable Raises.

Lumbermen of northern Minnesota
may look with confidence to a boost
in their valuations by the board of
equalization.
Secretary j. e. Cooley of the board
who is resident in Duluth, said that
he would try to hold the board down
in the matter of increasing valuations
in any direction in st. Louis county.
as this division of the state was one
of few that returned increased valu-
ations this year.
The counties of the state, as whole,
returned a decreased valuation of S12,-
900, 900, and Mr.. Cooley says that it
will become the board to increase it's
valuations in the counties that have
boosted of their increase of population
and prosperity, and at the same time
returned reduced valuations.
The feeling prevails'that the board
of equalization, which is controlled by
Democrats, is trying to pave the way
for second term for Governor John.
son. The idea Of going after the lum-
bermen is supposed to be move
to please the farmers. Hennepin
county did great deal for Johnson
last fall, and it will be interesting to
see what the board does to that di-
vision of the state in the way of in
creasing valuations.
Mr.. Cooley is chairman of the COM
mittee on franchises and is much in
terested in the decision of the court
that franchises are taxable. Fran
chises were assessed last year, but the
Western Union Telegraph company
fought the tax in the court, and many
of the other franchise holders held of
to watch the result. They will now
have to settle.

In his Labor Day speech at
White Bear Joel P. Heatwole OF
Mortified, touching on the matter
of watered stocks said:
THE laboring men are confront
ed with the eight billions OF
dollars of fictitious capitalization
which has no legal, and less moral
claim on the country. But these
men are expected through the food
that they consume, the clothes
they wear and the heat they buy,
to contribute so that interest may
be paid upon something that has
never existed. All railroa d
troubles, strikes, rebates and
special rates are the natural re-
suit of the effort to increase the
amount which may be applied on
this overcapitalization of water,
at is not in the least an exag-
Grafton to say that the modern
railroad man in conducting his
business has two things constantly
before him, namely:
First to increase the amount
taken from the public, and,
Second, to make the wages as
low as he can without driving
away competent help, TO say
nothing of inviting a strike.
an 1904 the railroads of this
country levied enough taxes in the
way of freight, passenger, switch
ing, ELEVATOR and demurrage charg-
es, to 81 per cent on the eight bill
lions of dollars of water represent
ed in stocks and bonds. It is not
unreasonable to assume that they
will endeavor later on to extort
from the public enough, and grind
down the wages to an extent, as
TO be able to pay from 10 to Is per
cent. But worse than this, they
will keep on increasing this water
every day, thereby adding to the
amount which you will have to pay.
"The people as represented in
the state legislatures and in the
congress should demand that the
watering of stocks cease and that
bonds and stocks hereafter issued
represent only the value of actual
labor employed and the actual
amount of money invested in ma
terial for constructions and equip
ment."

D. H. Moon a well known lumber,
man of this county who has just
returned from an IS months tour
of the world, speaking from per,
sonal experience says:
1.-The japanese people do not need
any sympathy and they don't de-
serve any. That nation needs a
sound licking more than any that
discovered while going round the
world. They had the sublime nerve
to tell me that Japan could, if it
chose, whip the United States and
take the PHILIPPINES as a trophy OF
conquest.
They declare that they can van.
quish any nation on earth. The
japanese have a bad ease of the
swelled head. know something
about them. visited Japan a
few years ago and have just come
from there for a second time.
THE Japs have undergone rad
ical change. Two years ago they
were polite and considerate. Now
they are arrogant and boastfuI.
Instead of seeking to please strang-
ers they seem disposed to oppose

The per capita circulation of
money in the United States at the
present time is $31.19. In 1896
when the Republicans, secured
control of the government after
the second Cleveland regime, the
per capita circulation was $21.41.
The same has increased every year
since until now it is the about the
first figure or a gain of 1918 for
every man, woman and child in the

IT is always.b better to wait for
evidence before passing judgement.
When you hear reports detrimental
toyoung ladies or gentlemen, don't
be hasty in forming conclusions.
1t is better to be charitable when
anyone is in trouble. To-day it is
somebody else girl''or boy; to-mor-
row it may be yours. Trouble
comes to us all, and we should be
willing to extend the same charity
we expect from others. Gossip dis
torts and magnifies occurrences
that have no foundation. In fact,
an injustice is often done to inno-
cent parties.

He sayR: Excessive water drinking not only produces temporary disturbance. it also creates direct organic disorders: the heart and kidneys are par ticuIari, affected by the excess and in these eases the vascular system is over charged and the heart and kidneys over worked. Proof of such condition is frequepsiy ir. cases of slight injury. man who suffers frequently from thirst bleeds easily. and we may well consider that excessive thirst Is a sign that tho amount of fluid In the body is not kept within bounds. and that this condition must be remedied by opposing the feeling of thirst
