THE MILK ORDINANCE.

The milk ordinance, which was
published last week, has occasioned
a great deal of discussion and un-
certainty among the milk dealers
as we'll as the ow ners of COWS in the
city. While the ordinance reads
that it shall go into effect from and
after the publication of the same,
it seems that neither the city nor
the milkmen are prepared to en-
force the provisions at once. On
the assurance Of the health officer
and city attorney that all sellers of
milk will be given a reasonable
time in which to comply with the
ordinance, most Of the dealers have
continued their operations, but in
the case of some owners of one or
two cows in the city, who have sup.
piled their neighbors with milk,
they have been frightened by the
provisions of the ordinance from
supplying their customers.
The only provision of this ordi-
nance that causes any great trouble
with the milkmen is the test for
tuberculosis. If the inspection
were made compulsory thruout the
county, so that it would be possible
to buy inspected cows, the situation
would be simplified. As it is, no
cows can now be purchased with a
guarantee that they will stand the
test. One milkman stated that this
difficulty would either drive him
out Of the business or compel him
to raise the price of the product.
Another provision which seems
certainly rather unjust is that the
owner of one cow in the city is not
permitted to sell to more than three
customers without license. This
provision is certainly one in favor
of the licensed milkmen.
No valid objection can be found
to making the test for tuberculosis.

DEATH In CANADA OF
FORMER WILLMAR RESIDENT

News was received by Willmar
relatives of the death Of Mrs. Arnt
Brovall, which occurred at their
home near Hitchcock. Canada, last
Thursday, Feb. 6. The funeral oc-
Cured last Monday, interment TAX
ing place near their home. Mrs.
Brovalls maiden name was Alice
Croonquist and she was at the time
of her death twenty-three years old.
She was a daughter Of G. Groom
quist of Kandiyohi township. She
was born in this city, where the
family resided,a number Of years
ago. Alice grew to womanhood on
the farm in section Is and about
three years ago moved to Canada
with her father and brother. There
she was married last July. The
cause of her death was peritonitis.
Alice was an unusually bright and
ambitious girl and was favorite
among old and young. The news
of her death has cast a gloom over
her many relatives and friends here.
Deceased leaves, besides her
young griefstricken husband, her
father, two brothers, Conrad and
Alfred, and a sister, Esther, all re-
siding in Canada. The bereaved
husband and relatives have the SYM
pathy of all.

The tuberculosis test is not guess

The tuberculosis test is not guess
work, when made by competent
veterinarians. In the hundreds Of
cases where animals have been con-
demned by the State board Of health
they have, when butchered, been
found to be badly affected. But
the law should be made to apply to
all. All the large cities now re-
quire the test, and it is only a ques-
tion of a short time when all herds
from which the milk or cream is
shipped to the cities must show in
spected animals.
The enforcement of the inspec-
tion will work hardship at the be-
ginning, but those dairymen who
can first assure their customers that
their herds are free from infected
animals should and will profit by
such action.
A certain newspaper in this city
has seen fit to abuse the milkmen
because they were at first uncertain
whether to adhere to the letter of
the ordinance as soon as published,
or not, and in it's attempt to be SEN
sational has characterized them as
robbers and venders of impure milk.
This unwarranted attack caused
them to refuse to sell that editor
any milk, which is the only case we
have heard of where one of the reg
ular milkmen has refused so far to
supply his customers.

HEALTH OFFICER
DISCUSSES new
MILK ORDINANCE
Editor Willmar Tribune =:

Editor Willmar Tribune:
Dear Sir:-The milk ordinance
which was passed by the city coun-
Gil a short time ago, was called up
to furnish a pure and wholesome
milk for the people Of this city.
The ordinance is a good one, estab-
fishing standard for milk to be
sold here hereafter, similar to other
ordinances now in force in many of
the large and smaller cities of this
and other states.
Copies of this ordinance can now
be obtained from the city clerk or
health officer. The enforcement
will not be an injury or do an in
jutice to anyone selling milk.
The inhalation of tuberculi bacil-
Ii is losing much of it's Importance
in the minds Of investigators and
the swallowing of the tuberculi ba-
cili is continually supplanting it
as the true mode of injecting the
lungs. It therefore becomes neces-
sary to give the most careful atten-
tion to the source from which tu-
berculi bacilli may reach US thru
our daily food and drink.
Milk is taken everywhere, every
day and reaches practically every
person every day; but as children
are by far the greatest consumers
of milk, it is important that pure,
wholesome milk be furnished.
wish that every dairyman and
everyone selling milk would obtain
a copy of the ordinance and read it
at his leisure, which he can do as
the ordinance will probably not be
enforced before May /.
Good, clean, wholesome milk is
one in which there is no visible
sediment at the bottom of the YES
sci two hours after settling. That
requires clean, airy stables, with
clean surroundings and cleanliness
in handling the milk. tuberculosis
is the most frequent disease with
which dairy herds are affected. 1t
does not seem more than right that
tuberculosis should be gradually
eliminated from the dairy herds.
It is only a question of time when
similar ordinances will be in effect
all over the state.
l do not think, as has been said,
that any dairy man or any seller of
milk will 60 out Of the business be-
cause Of the passing of this ordi-
nance. At least they do not talk
that way to me. Especially if they
will take pains to read it carefully,
they will notice that the main part
of it is cleanliness and the furnish
ing of pure milk.

Health Officer.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, IL 1908
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR

The political pot in Minnesota is
beginning to sizzle little. Ed
Young has openly announced his
candidacy for the governorship, and
is busily swinging around the state,
looking after his political fences
and getting expert fence builders
to take the contracts to build up or
repair such fences in their particu-
lar localities. 1t is annuonced that
Kandiyohi county is already tied up
in a neat little package and deliv-
cred to Young, with the compli-
ments Of the leaders. There is a
possibility, however, that Young
may find the package empty when
he opens it. There is considerable
talk Of Jacobson's coming out for
the nomination, and if he does he
has friends enough in this county
to make it rather warm for his op-
ponent. With all his crudities, the
people believe in his honesty and
they feel sure that when he champ
ions anything it is not because he
believes it to be the popular thing,
but because he believes it to be
right.
Another rumor has it that the
Lac qui Parle statesman will go af-
ter the congressional nomination in
the Seventh district, and there are
many who hope that this rumor will
prove true, as they would like to
see an energetic, wide-awake man
fill the position in which Volstead
is sprawling around. They say,
not without reason, that Jake s
ability lies more in the direction of
a Legislative than an executive po-
sition, and all his political training
has been in the same direction.
There are lots of people in this city
and county that will shed their
coats and go in to help Jake if he
decides to make the attempt.
The irrepressible Bob Dunn is
also said to figure on entering the
gubernatorial race. Bob feels that
he did not get fair shake in 1904
and would like to be "vindicated. -
His friends point to the small ma
jority Johnson had when running
against Dunn and the overwhelming
majority he had when running
against Cole as a proof that it was
not Dunn's weakness but johnson
strength that decided the contest ir
the latter's favor, and that with an.
other candidate against him Dunn
might have received the usual re.
publican majority in Minnesota. Il
is generally figured that johnson
will not run again, and therefore his
is good year for vindication.
Eberhardt of Mankato is alse
mentioned as a possibility-probab
ly on the strength of his remark

ting one temperance man on the

THE OFFICIAL PUBLISHING.

This week the Tribune finishes
the official publication of the finan-
cial statement Of the county for the
past year, also that of the delin-
quent tax list. The expenditures
of the county, to whom made and
for what, make interesting reading
to all citizens interested in the pub
lie affairs. A copy of the state
ment should be preserved for future
reference.
We accidentally found copy of
the statement of 1896 in pamphlet
form among our papers the other
day, and took some interest in MAX
ing a few comparisons with the
statement that we are publishing.
In 1896 the county revenue warrants
drawn amounted to $50, ,639.94; in
1907, $28, ,344.79. While the in
crease in eleven years has not been
as great as one might expect, the
several items have changed consid-
erably. The salary list has in
creased from 1854 in 1896 to $l4,-
169 in 1907. One new item this
last year is $1,671, the total cost
for the county poor. Before last
year the poor were cared for by the
respective towns. Boarding prison.
ers and jailor's fees in 1896 amount
ed to 81, 733. 3.99; in 1907, $S43. At.
Justice court expenses in 1896 were
$786.54; in 1907, including the
municipal court Of Willmar, $139-
.O6. In 1896 the various school
treasurers drew the total amount Of
$40, ,318.04; in 1907 the amount was
$77, ,583. 7S, the amount having near
ly doubled. In 1896 the town, vii
lage and city treasurers drew $17,-
513.67; in 1907, $50, 364.4 The
municipalities have Increased dur
ing that time from 3 to 7, and the
city of Willmar has made a great
development in those years.
Publicity Of public accounts is
wisely made compulsory. 1t is
right and proper that the public
should have opportunity to see how
the tax money is expended. But
the law might go farther and re-
quire the publication of how taxes
are collected and from whom. We
believe nothing would tend more to
equalize taxation and make all
property bear it's just share than
publicity. Let the public know
where the money comes from as
we'll as where it goes.

The market for railroad bonds be-
ing somewhat dull at present, Sen
ator Aldrich, representing the
Standard Oil syndicate in the Unit
ed States senate, has. prepared a
measure to create an artificial mar
ket for the same. Under the pro-
visions of his rubber currency bill,
such bonds may be used as securi-
ties for the rubber currency. If
that bill passes it will be unneces-
sary in the future to create panics
in order to secure additional issues
of government bonds for bank note
backing The system owns an i'm
mense lot of bonds of the varieties
included in the Aldrich bill, having
been forced to purchase them to
keep up the market, and being un-
able to sell them now proposes to
issue currency against them and
loan said currency out at high rates
of interest. The system does not
propose to have any of it's property
lying idle, whether said property
is watered stock and unstable
bonds or legislators. All must pro-
duce results, in order that if the
people refuse to be plucked one way
the result may be reached in an
other way.
