MARSHALL FIELD.

Marshall Field, the one man who
thoroughly deserved the much-abused
title. merchant prince" IS dooa -
New York as the result Of a brief ill
forty years the name Of Marshall FELL
has stood for all that is honorable, al
that is fair and just and honest in
business life During the course Of
his long mercantile career he accumu-
laetd one Of the largest fortunes n
the United States, yet we doubt if it
can be truthfuI1y be said of him that
he ever deliberately wronged any hu-
: man being.
: The career of Mr.. Field furnishes
one of the exceptions to the theory /
,hat no man. in the course OF an aver
aae life can honestly amass as great
. fortune as one million dollars. Mr..
Field left many millions OF dollars,
and he started with nothing save
clear head. strong heart and a deter
mination to deal justly by every man.
He began his business life as clerk
in general store. By the sheer force
of his own ability he worked his way
up until his death he was regarded as
the greatest merchant of his time.
There is comfort for every man who
wants to deal honestly in the life of
oil I1rhn
goods from his were always sure the
goods were as he represented them;
lie always gave an honest dollars of
value for a dollar in cash. 1t is good
to know that he made this answering
honesty pay, to know that it became
a negotiable asset with him. Though
il was his rule never to borrow money
or give a note, Their was never a time
after he gained his first foOthold that
he could have had almost unlimited
sums on his simple promise to repay
them.
No faint of any sort attaches to the
Marshall Field millions. The great
ness of his business. the money that
flowed into his strong boxes, were but
the natural result of legitimate bu5l
ness methods, accompanied by rare
sagacity in knowing what the people
want and will pay for. His death is ;
distinct loss to the entire country, fol
he was a citizen without reproach, e
publ;c-spirited, charitable, manly man
The hand of death has fallen heavil,
upon the Field family within the las
few months. 1t was in November tina
his only son, Marshall Field, Jr, die
as he result of the accidental dis
charge of a revolver in his own hands
Grief over this tragedy may have ha:
tened Mr.. Fields end

A GOOD PLAN.

(. The drainage law of this state
provides for issuing bonds to
pay for the building of drains
and in case this is done by the
county commissioners the pay
ment of the drain tax is spread
over several years. If this is
not done the entire tax may be
spread the first year. The
county commissioners did not
issue bonds hence the tax levied
for drains was quite heavy and
to some it was burden. The
people taxed have become very
emphatic in asking for some
kind of relief. Last week At.
torney G. B. Wallace appeared
before the county commission
ers with a solution of the ques-
tion. He advocated the county
commissioners to pass a resolu-
tion which would extend the
time of payment of the taxes
on the lands taxed for the drain
until October 18th when anoth-
er crop could be secured, and
that no interest and penalty
attach until that time on all
delinquent taxes levied for the
construction of drain. This
affords a complete and simple
remedy. Personal property
taxes could be paid as usual
thus dividing the payment of
the taxes into two parts and
extending the time for pay
ment of the larger portion.
So far so good, but the county
auditor and the assistant states
attorney v'"-e present and op.
posed the matter SO vigorously
that the board failed to take
any action on the matter. The
auditor did no: like the extra
work it might occasion. The
assistant states attorney did
not 'oubt the legality of it but
advised against it. We always
supposed that when the legal
questions stopped, the board
began with its best judgment,
but in this case it looks like
county auditor and an assist
ant states attorney doing the
work of the board.
Do not give up, farmers, but
come in in body at the next
meeting of the board of county
commissioners; or if you are
too busy, sign a we'll worded
petition and send committee
to present it. Mr.. Wallace's
plan is a good one. Push it.
