Owners are Present.
Session Promises to Be Pro-
tracted and Vexatious.
Classification of Lands Accor=

Chief Ground for OBJ
lection.
Nonpareil May 25-The joint
drainage board of Harrison and
Pottawattamie counties met
yesterday at 10 o'clock in the
south upstairs chamber of the
court house for the purpose of
hearing complaints on the as
sessment of benefits for the
building of the union ditch sys-
tenn. A large proportion of
land owners in the district af-
fected by the ditch was present
making it plain that the assess
ment as it now stands falls far
short of being universally sat-
isfactory. Among those at
tending in an official capacity
at the hearing we're Supervis-
ors Brandes, Baker, Setz, Bulls
and Spencer of Pottawattamie,
Supervisors j. S. Hall, A. B.
Hosbrook and M. Murray of
Harrison county, Auditor w. C.
Cheyne and County Attorney
j. j. Hess of Pottawattamie,
Auditor G. w. Atkins and
County Attorney Lloyd Fallon
| of Harrison. Miss e. M. Col
burn, County Attorney Hess
private secretary, was engaged
as official stenographer and
took down all complaints made
verbally, so as to preserve a
complete record in case of any
litigation that may grow out of
the ditch undertaking.
Owing to the fact that dis
satisfied property owners had
until noon in which to make
their complaints, but little was
done at the morning session ex-
cept to get ready for business
and hear the complaints of two
men. At the noon adjourn
ment, Supervisor Brandes ex-
claimed on looking at the sea
| of faces about hir3.:: &c ~ nmen
we must geto fastar;; at the
rate we have beer .. i.g so far
it will take us thu ) months to
finish the hearing"
The assessment has been
made, as the law provides, in
accordance with the benefit
which is supposed to accrue to
each property owner in the
district from the construction
of the ditch not taking into ac-
count the value of the property.
A basis of 100 represents the
assessment of land of a low,
swampy character, which will
gain most by the new drainage
system. High ground is asses
ed at a lower per cent, accord
ing to the judgement of the
commissioners. The complaints
are due to the difference be-
tween the tax-maker and the
taxpayer in m ,tters of judy
ment.
ALL KINDS OF COMPLAINTS
There were fifty-four prop
erty owners in Pottawatta mie
county whose complaints were
heard yesterday, and today the
joint board will proceed with
the hearing of about $50 from
Harrison county. Ali sorts of
things are asked of the board.
Some of the compliments say
they do not need any ditch;
some claim to be too far away,
others that their land is so high
that the ditch is of little if any
benefit to them. Some want the
assessment anulled entirely

formed only small part of a whole acre that the state perhaps sold in the first place for fifty cents. And this annual advertising cost goes on not for one year. but for an indefinite number of years.
 What this means to the state was shown in figures in 1902 by Land Commissioner Wildly. who was not in sympathy with the system, In order to sell $301.00O worth of delinquent tax lands the state paid for advertis- ing and clerk hire s531. 900 more than it received for the lands. This repre- sents a loss of more than S106.000 a year-a loss that the state has sus- tained each year for more than de- cade. And until the states land sys- tained each year for more than q de- cade And until the states land sys- tenn shall be changed the loss will con tinue. as experience shows that cut over timber lands do not stay sold.
 ITO the country newspaper pub fishers the state of Michigan Is also annually paying about s60CO0 for the printing of delinquent tax advertise ments."

The wages of employees fin cotton
 mills have recently been advanced , per cent in New England. and there Is, according to the Lynn Item. a similar tendency to increase the wages fin the boot and shoe industry The Item says that the increase in the average wage of shoemakers fin the state for the last five years has exceeded $1 per week. totaling SIG. B for the year. The increase in the av- craze wage in Lynn from 1900 to 1905 amounted to $61.1e: while fin Brockton the increase amounted to $SS per person. Haverhill increased its average wage S5SS5, but Salem. though it increased the value of it's shoe product and number of it's shoe makers, is said to have reduced its average wage $5.17. The statistics show that there were 5s,6l5 persons employed in the boot and shoe busi- ness In 1900, receiving average yearly earnings of s4T3.11. In 1905 the number had increased to o,633 and the average yearly earnings were s527.44.

A most imminent peril appears to threaten American industrial supre-
 macy. It has been won through long
 years of keen initiative of inventive
 genius, of resourceful improvement
 In methods. With a nigh cost of la
 bor against him, the American manu-
 facturer has kept ahead of the game
 by acting upon his foresight and
 keeping his methods in advance of
 all competition, says a writer in the
 Engineering Magazine. A very few
 years of stagnant standardization and
 profit-taking will forfeit the hard
 won lead and put the foreign com
 petitor to the front. Already in cer-
 tain lines 1t Is perfectly evident that
 the Improvements are being made
 abroad. and that they can be kept out of competition only by a high
 tariff, which at this particular time Sah noA uAs Ot tOHSlutEeu peTuld-
 nent reliance. IL is a short-sighted
 policy that makes a period of great prosperity relatively unproductive in improvements. Worse than this. the greed for increased output is so great that production tends towards care lessness, and channels for compe,i- ton are opened. never to be closed. For example. know or several auto mobile works in which the forEinss are largely imported from Germany in spite of the tariff. Experience has shown that the foreign product has a uniformity in properties very dIfh- cult to secure here. and that the parts are forged 90 closely to gauge that the saving in labor Is enough to counterbalance the duty. Similar conditions appear in various other industries from time to time. The tendencies of the current policy appear mos, seriously in Amer iean export trade. Goods of types for domestic trade do no, always or often meet the require ments of. for instance. the South American markets. and the increzs- Ing demands for those countries are therefore filled through other chan nels held to les rigid bounds At the present moment most American industries are behind their orders and do not worry about additional szlss abroad: but some day in the uot distant future thess markets win

be badly needed and can be won only at heavy cost, if at all. The trouble here, too, is not only with the prod ucts, but with the absolute indiffer- ence to commercial requirements. The whole tendency of our modern industrial machine is toward infex- ibility and this extends to the meth ods of distribution as we'll. Foreign red-tape makes requirements which seem often unreasonable, but foreign business goes to the exporter who re- spects them. The American is too apt to treat them with lofty con- tempt, and suffers accordingly.

GRAFT OF COUNTRY EDITOR.

The editor of the country paper has been looked upon by many as n sort of bulwark of Journalism morality. But here comes Appleton's Magazine for September with an amazing story of petty graft combined with opposl- ton to the redemption of wilder ness land 1t has fiourished for years among the rural editors of Michigan: "A Detroit printer inadvertently outlined the situation clearly enough a year or two ago For years he had been laboriously bending over his case setting up heads in the con- posing room of an afternoon newspa- per. One day he told his fellow workman that he was going to throw up his job and start weekly news paper in a hamlet fifty miles south of Mackinaw.
 His friend gasped.
 "T'p therpT he exclaimed. What do you expect to find to print fin such Godforsaken country-there's no news
 "'Tax sales. said the first printer. with a grin.
 "Tn tho laconic answer of the print CT to the inquiry of his friend lies the bulk of the reason for the states indifference toward its waste lands. The state law requires that whenever the state tax on any parcel of land shall become delinquent. the land shall be advertised fg- sale fin a news paper printed in the county in which Na description thus printed-whether tho land he 'builllng lot 25 feet bv m feet. ar a 10.0O0-acre tract-the state pays tho publisher of the newspaper In which the advertisement appears either thirty or forty cents. acconi- ing to the newspapers advertising rate.
 Therein lie the possibilities of an endless chain movement against the state treasury for the benefit of the country newspaper publishers and inc politicians who want to pay po- liiical debts with eierkships-f0r many clerks are required to keep tah on eln00OD0 acres of land AS the advertisement of a small tract brings as murh to the newspaper pub fisher ls thp advertisement of large one. it is obvious that a 10.nao-arro trart rrif into acre lots wouId bring fin io0so times as much revenue to the newspaper publisher in whose ter ri'ory # happened fo be situated ss vOuli the one 10.OO-acre tract.

If the unions succeed fin putting Congressman Littlefield, of Maine, out of business. 1t will be a sufficient triumph for their first year in politics and they can afford to lose their other conflicts, says Washington writer. All the influence of the administra- tion and all the power of the republi- can organization is back of Littlefield and he has a wide margin of republic can votes to go on. Should he be de- feated, no congressman who antago- nizes the unions will ever be secure in his seat; and, under such circum- stances, not many congressman would antagonize them. It is possible, then, that we may come to have a govern ment of the unions, by the unions, and for the unions. Oh, we'll, is the re- tort. it might as we'll be that way as a government of the trusts, by the trusts and for the trusts. |.

every way capable of attending to
the duties of the Office Of assessor
in every detail and promises the
people if they elect him to faith

his life and does not pretend to be
a politician, but he believes he can
asscss the taxable property of
Quay county with absolute justice
and fairness to everybody. This
paper can say for this candidate
that he is an energetic and honor
able citizen and We believe worthy

PRESIDENT ON THE TARIFF.

OF the tariff Mr.. Roosevelt says;
eve stand uncquivocally for pro-
t~cctivc tariff and we feel that the
phenomenal industrial prosperity
which we are now enjoying is not
likely to be icopardizcd for it would
be foolish in the last degree to
secure here and there 4 small ben
eft at the cost of general business
depression. The question OF re-
vising the tariff stands wholly
apart from the question OF dealing
with the so.callcd trusts. The
only way it is possible to deal
with the trusts and monopolics
and great corporate wealth is by
action along the line of laws enact
ed by the present congress and its
immediate predecessors"
