are assembled at Kansas City, Mimi
eapolis, and Chicago, and sent to the
seaboard in train lots. The rates for
assembling the grain from local points
at Kansas City is IA cents per hundred
or about 8 cents per bushel. The rates
for Minneapolis and Chicago are IS
cents hundred or nearly 10 cents a
bushel. Therefore rates in Kansas
City territory are trife lower. The
average Of all local rates into the three
towns however, is about 9 cents per
bushe1 or one cent above the Kansas
City rate.
Judging from the changes during
the last few generations, Secre tary
Wilson says it is natural to expect
that costs Of freight on land and water
may be lower in the future than at
present. Improved methods OF load
ing and unloading freight, economies
in the disposition of cars and vessels
SO as to avoid more than at present
the handling of empty cars and the
making of voyages in ballast, and an
increase in the quantity of valuable
freight paying high rates per unit Of
weight, all would tend to lower the
cost of transporting farm products.
saving i'm Good Roads
In hauling products from the farms
in wagons there are opportunities for
a big saving in cost, Mr.. Wilson says.
In many regions in the United States
the Improvement of road, a short
roughssection of q road, would allow
much larger loads to be hauled than
at present. Tit were possible to in
crease the average weight of wagon
load of cotton from three bales to four
the annual saving in hauling would
reach about $4,000, 900. If the average
load of wheat, now about fifty five
bushels, were increased by twenty
bushels, the saving effected in hauling
the average crop annually would be
more than S8. .OOO. 600.

FRET OYER
TAX LAW
THAT WHICH IMPOSES PENALTY
ON rlORTdAGES.
Claim is Made That it Places Addi-
tionai Burdens on Those Who
Get the Loans.

Dissatisfaction over the mortgage
: tax law, which was passed by: the last
legislature is apparently increasing all
over the state. Sentiment in this coun.
ty is, so far as it has been expressed,
strongly against the law and there
are many here who claim that some
effort will be made to have the next
legislature repeal the law, says The
Duluth Herald.
The intention of the farmers of the
bill is claimed to have been all right
bat the results are not quite what
were expected.
The authors of the law, it is under
stood, thought they had bill framed
which would impose tax on those
holding mortgages on land ands con-
tracts, they being the persons who
would, generally speaking, be the best
able to pay the tax, the same to be
in lieu of all other personal property
taxes on the mortgages as personal
property.
Instead Of the tax being paid by the
moBtgagee, however, the burden falls
on the mortgagor and on the persons
who make the land contracts instead
of the persons who own them.
The law imposes tax of 80 cents
per 800 before the papers can be
recorded. The MORTGAGE, however,
before offering the papers for record,
imposes this tax on the mortgagor in
the way of additional interest, and the
burden falls heavier on those who
make the loan. In other words, per-
sons are being taxed for the privilege
of borrowing money. s4sa.s
The injustice Of the law Is more ap-

of wheat middlings and 6S2 pounds nF
cornmeal, mixed with water, and &
cost $3.62 to make an increase Of 1nG
pounds in weight. Five pigs of the

County Fair Races.

The race program at the fair last
Saturday was an excellent one, and
all of them were hotly contested and
furnished good entertainments, o. G.
Caswen, Of Hancock, to whom the
credit for the success of this feature
belongs, arranged what were really
special races among the horses
that were here. The results of the
races were as follows:

parent in the land contract business
for there are great many people
who cannot afford to buy land except
On the contract plan. In order to get
the contract recorded the state tax
must pay for that privilege while the
party holding the contract, something
that represents value, evades the
payment of any personal property tax
on it's account.
It is claimed that the mortgage tax
law has done much to discourage the
buying Of lands on contract because
Of the additional expense it entails to
these who are not in circumstances to
buy the realty outright.
Where formerly it required but 75
cents for q person making land con-
tract TO get it recorded, he must now
pay from $25 to $50 for the same
privilege.
In the case of large mortgages it is
said that there has not been q pay
mont of the tax, in any large amount
ia this county, but that protest had
been made when the money was turn
ed over to the county treasurer.
The magnitude of the proposition
was illustrated the other day when
the st. Croix Lumber company protes-
ted the payment of 5000 tax on 81,
600, 600 mortgage running to the Mimi
esota Loan & Trust company. The re-
cord is necessary for the company
leaning the money, but the burden Of
the debt falls on the company making
the loan.
Not long ago an Eastern corporation
with a $5,O0O,OO0 mortgage sent the
instrument to this county for record
because some of the lands embraced
in the description were located in St.
Louis county. The tax on the aocu-
naent, before it could be recorded was
$ae, 600. The papers were sent back
east with the explanation of the law
and they have not yet been returned.
It is doubtful if the mortgagor will
ever consent to pay tax of that
amount.

NO WARRANT TO ARREST DEITz
Sheriff Clark Thinks He Gould Pc
Taken with Proper Papers.
People in Sawyer County Are Pretty
Much on Deitz's Side in His
Contention with the Log
Ging Company.

Madison, Wis, April @A,-Shcriff
Fred Clark, of Sawyer county, was in
Madison during the day, havin
brought an insane patient to the Men
dOta hospital. In conversation he de
clared that he had not received any
warrant for the arrest of Deitz and he
believed DeitZ could be arrested if
such a warrant were issued.
He says the people in Sawyer cOun-
ty are pretty much on Deitz's side,
but that on investigation Of records
at the county seat it does not make
clear that Deitz has an unquestiOned
title to his property. He is rather in
clined TO think that the logging com
pany has a better title. He says, how
ever. that the logging company does
not care so very much about the title
now, as the ThOrnapple dam has gone
out and it was the dam that made the
title valuable.

The question was Resolved. that
the history of trade unionism in the

years shows a general tendency detri-

country"
Lawrence claimed there was de-

child labor.
RipOn claimed labor organizations
were detrimental to the employers and
