Mayor Busse of Chicago recently
declared that municipal operation
of street car and electric lighting
plants was more costly than corpor-
alton management, for the reason
that "a city employee seems to think
that he is required to do only about
one-ffth of a days work. Go out
in the street any day and watch the
employees of any power company
putting up wires and other equip
ment. Then go over to the next
street and watch the city electricians
doing similar work. You will see
the difference in the amount of work
the company is getting and the
amount the city is getting" This
is one of the points where the gov
e eminent operation of railroads in
this country would be disastrous, in
our opinion.

An experiment in school economy
is to be tried in Minneapolis that
will attract considerable attention
on the part of school superintendent
and school directors. Minneapolis
high schools are oyer-crowded and
Supt. Jordan and some of the men,
bers of the school board are in favor
of using the school room available
with two sets of teachers, working
in relays of about four hours each.
Thiswill save large sumsin cost new
buildings as we'll as in heating and
administration. If the plan is Who'll
ly successful, it may point the way
to the future enlargement of our
high school system without rebuild
ing, when the classes get too large
to be properly instructed by the
present force. More teachers can
be employed and the school rooms
used almost wholly for recitations.
pupils doing their studying at home.
This plan is not necessary here now
and perhaps it may be years before
it will be necessary to make such a
change, but the increase in the last
few years indicates that more room
will be required soon, unless some
thing like the Minneapolis plan is
adopted.

CREAMERY OUTPUT.
The Minnesota Production of Very
Great Value in 1907.

Minnesota Dairyman:
There were 87,O44,817 pounds of
butter produced by Minnesota
creameries in 1907. according to fig
ures just compiled by the state dairy
and food commission. The whole
sale value Of this product is estimat-
ed at S23, 500, 100.
There were 851 creameries in op-
GRAFTON during the year and 71.769
farmers supplied them, receiving
1912, 043 for their milk and cream
from SAG, 595 cows. The running ex-
penses of the creameries were ST.
1873. They used 855, 1866, 470
pounds of milk and 167,819,567 of
cream.
The seventy-four cheese factories
operated in the state made 1896, 778
pounds of cheese, which at an aver
age wholesale price Of IL cents
brought S512,O13.
Less than half the cows in the
state worked for the creameries, so
considerably over million contri-
buted to the state milk and cream
supply.
The value of milk and cream sold
to people in the cities and towns of
the state last year is estimated at
S19,000,000. The cities of Minneap-
oils and St. Paul alone used $4,000
gallons of milk and cream day.

The assassination of former Senator
Cormack of Tennessee last week has
attracted general comment, both
north and south. That the dead
man had made exasperating state
ments about the political acts of one
of his assailants will not be general
ly accepted as any justification for
the deed. Assassination is an argu-
ment that never appeals to the
American public, even where the
assassin has endured much more
grieyous wrongs than are charged
in this case, where the accusations
were political rather than personal.
The Journal covers the whole case
when it says that ''The revolver ar
gument settles nothing but the con-
testants. 1t is as childish as it is
frightful, and as frightful as it is
childish"

South Dakota appears to have
voted down the proposition to pro-
vide for county option in that state
by close vote. In this state, the
Democrats have almost doubled
their representation in the lower
house by reason Of Republican can
didates taking a stand for county
option. In Blue Earth county alone
a gain of three Democratic members
was made on this issue, and another
in Waseca county, where Represen-
tative Davidson was defeated on the
same issue. The prospect of putting
through a county option measure at
the coming session appears some
what doubtful.

John Burns, me London labor
leader, has raised commotion by
declaring that the main disadvan-
tage under which the British unem-
ployed labored as compared with the
American unemployed was that the
Britons drink more than the Ameri-
cans. Those familiar with conditions
in most mining and manufacturing
communities in this country will
probably make the comment that
the condition of the British industri-
al class must indeed be bad if this
statement is true. An exchange
throws some light on the relative
conditions on the temperance prob
lem by saying that society in Eng
land, in all its grades, has failed
to place the ban on the liquor habit
that the Americans have burdened
it with. Bad as conditions are in
this country, it will be admitted that
great Improvement has been made
in the last ten years in putting hs-
bitual drinking in saloons under the
ban Of social condemna ton as well
as making it a disqualification for
success in all industrial pursuits.

study of the use and abuse Of great
wealth, and it must be admitted that
he has been living up to his principles
regarding the duty of millionaires
to put their money into circulation.
A new book from him has been an
nounced recently which advances a
number Of excellent solutions for
the real menace Of swollen fortunes.
We quote few paragraphs which
seem to show that Mr.. Carnegie is
not unworthy of the title of philan-
| thropist:
Early in the book Mr.. Carnegie
gives his views on the taxing of es-
tates at death. 1T is difficult he
says, to set bounds to the share of
a mans estate which should 60 at
his death to the public through the
agency of the state, and by all
means such taxes should be gradu-
ated, beginning at nothing upon
moderate sums to dependents and
increasing rapidly as the amounts
swell, until of the millionaire's
hoard, as of Shylock's, at least the
other half comes to the privy Golfer
of the state
This policy would work power
fully to induce the rich man to at
tend to the administration Of wealth
during his life, which is the end
which society should always have in
view, as being by far the most fruit
full for the people.
"Nor need it be feared that this
policy would sap the root Of enter
prise and render men less anxious to
accumulate; for, to the class whose
ambition it is to leave great fortunes
and be talked about after death, it
will be even more attractive, and,
a somewhat nobler ambition
to have enormous sums paid over to
the state from their fortunes"
Mr.. Carnegie declares unequivo-
cally that those whose incomes are
only sufficient to meet physical wants
should not be subjected to taxation
at all. He lays stress on the theory
that liquor or tobacco, as far as the
laboring man is concerned, cannot |
be considered as needs.
In his chapter on Wealth" he
says: ''The dire consequences result
ing from the use of liquor would JUS
tify much higher taxation upon it in
the interest Of the workers them
selves. The greatest single evil in
Great Britain today is intemperance.
Seven hundred and eighty million
dollars yearly is the drink bill. When
one asks himself what would most
benefit the worker, there is no hest
tation in the reply-to avoid liquor
and gambling. The workingman
who INDUCES in either is, to the ex-
tent he does so, the architect of his
own poverty
