BEAR YF The OTHERS BURDEN
AS BECOMING BALAAMS CHATTEL
The Possession Of Musical Instruments longer an Evil
dence OF Atfuence but the Contrary Startling Stats-
tics That are Fundamental Which should be
ssS Recognizedt BY the People.
4bt8 By Charles Es, I.ukens. -, -,,st,

We have selected o. section OF the
state settled by the first pioneers,
the New England for comparison
with another section that is also
rural. The two sections consist OF
seven counties each that are con-
tiguous In each case and not selected
at haphazard to make the strongest
case possible.
The section in the south is not
the best agricultural section of the
state, nor were the first settlers
agriculturists, In fact, they have
contributed practically nothing to
the development OF agriculture in
three centuries. They have never
had time, too busy writing histor-
lies and other fiction.
These pioneers had the choice of
the entire state and for several rea-
sons, selected that which suited
them best. Their posterity to this
day prefer this section to any other.
The wealth of any given territory
l is contingent upon the density OF
population which is attracted and
sustained by resources which may
consist of commercial advantages
| found upon bodies of water and
along river courses: mines, quarries
fertility OF the soil, and manufac.
turing interests.
The southern section suppoi ss
25S,0OO population while the north
ern section supports but 100000
1t is evident that the section sup
porting the greater number oil
people has the greater amount oi
aggregate wealth. The southern Sec
tion alone possesses natural means
Tor transportation and wealth OF
mines The northern section pos
sesses an agricultural wealth though
not the best section of the state.
The entire wealth of most of the
counties in the northern section is
within eight inches of the surface
plow deep. Agricultural interests
sustain the fewest number of in
habitants OF any interests we have
We call attention of our readers
to the great difference in the value
of land in the two sections upon
which all are taxed for
the common school fund and for
the University and Normal school
fund. For years the writer has
been aware of the criminal injus-
tice that has existed and has sought
a remedy which he presents In the
form OF a philosophy.
Industrial development has made
our public school system absolutely
a state institution and consequently
lit must be supported by uniform
tax. Let us increase the one-mill
tax seven fold with the object of
eliminating the DEFICIENCIES that oc-
cur in every district and taking
from all school boards the necessity
OF levying tax to overcome a
deficiency created by the legisla-
ture.
Tuition Is also eliminated, and
the entire state becomes one dis
trict. Transportation is now pro-
vided for il horsepower is used

Twenty years agoa famous work -dir
Solar Heat" was produced by Pro-
fessor Bernard Mouchot This clever
old gentleman has just been discovered
starving in Paris, eighty-two years OF
age, and on the point of being turned
out OF q poverty stricken home for
nonpayment OF rent. At the age OF
seyenty-iive he married young woun-
an. who subsequently passed of a.
relative as the professor in order that
after his death the younger man could
continue to draw his pension. Unhap.
PLY the impostor went first, and as'
Bernard Mouchot was supposed to-
have died the pension ceased, Tho
professor could not claim the pension
without exposing the fraud Of hip|
wife; hence his present plight.
