LATINO TO FORECLOSURE
OF DELINQUENT TAXES.
Believes couittie1, Cities and School
Districts Should Have First
Lien on Property.

The governor has decided to veto
house bill No. Al. This is one of J. B.
Lindsleys bills and provides that no
person other than county, shall be
entitled to foreclose or have rendered
in his favor any final judgment upon
a general tax certificate Of delinquency
issued by county under the general
revenue laws of this state, until he
shall have paid all valid special Or To-
cal assessments, with interest and
penalty, made and levied for local i'm
provements in cities and towns of this
state due and unpaid upon the prop
erty involved at the time of the fore
closure of such certificate Of delin-
quency.
Grounds for Veto.
The governor has not prepared his
veto message but it is understood that
he will take the position that the coun-
ties, municipalities and school districts
should have the first lien upon prop
erty for their existence. Under the
present system the counties as a rule
derive immediate returns upon delin-
auent taxes by the purchase OF in
divi;1uals of the certificates of delin-
ouency. The governor believes that
these purchases would not be made
with the Lindsey bill law. He fur
ther takes the ground that if the own
er of a piece Of property does not con-
slider it worth the money required to
pay up the taxes, street improvements
should not be projected that would
devolve upon such property. The bill
would give cities and towns an oppor-
tunity to extend their streets or otner
municipal improvements at the ex-
nense of the county and state at large.

Remarkable Growth.

Great oaks from little acorns
grow" and the product of the tiny
seed astonishes the world by its giant
dimensions. The growth Of J. A.
Mimnaugh's. business for the past ten
years has been just as remarkable
as the rearing of any giant tree
whose towering majesty ever graced
a forest. Ten years ago all there was
to J. A. Mimnaugh could have been
crowded into a small-sized wagon,
and if the wagon had been dragged
over a rough road the contents would
have ratified. His business was very
much like the tiny acorn. But ten
years passed, and the little acorn,
famed and encouraged by the gentle
breezes waited from huttering leaves
OF iudicious advertisement, and wat
cred by the grateful and steady flow
OF liberal patronage, grew and
strengthened itself and spread, until
now this progressive business house,
like mighty oak, has spread its ever
lcngthening branches to the four
winds of the heavens, with the result
that business firms of lesser dimen-
sions have been put forth literally and
hgu1atively Gin the shade"
Mimnaugh's business is like the
proverbial oak in some other respects,
too. 1t doesn't stop growing. This
spring it is going to put out some
new and green and healthy sprouts
that will reach the zenith Of fair
dealing and low prices. His name has
been SYNONYMOUS for honest prices
and remarkable bargains for several
years, but he is going to fairly outdo
himself in the year 1905. He still
believes in the salubrious effect Of the
advertising breezes, and the tide OF
liberal patronage is on the food.

An Army of Poor Cows.

One has but to look over the Uni
ted States census Of milk production
to be convinced that we have on our
farms a great army of very poor
COWS, as we'll as a small army OF
good ones. The army Of poor COWS
outnumbers the army of good ones,
and that is the reason that on the or
dinary farm and on the average the
cow does not pay for her feed. Ih1s
is a remarkable statement, but we
have been unable to find that it IS
false, much as we would like to. The
figures of the cow population for the
country approach 100000. Of this
number at least half should be dis
posed of as fast as new COWS can
be put in their places. With the
poorer half out Of the way the farmer
would make as much money as ne
does at the present time and be re-
lieved of half of the labor and large
share of the expense. When the value
saved was taken into consideration
and added to the feed saved it would
be found that the change was equal
to a profit instead of loss.

of green feed in summer, while they
