Don't Sow Bearded Wheat.

Mr.. G. A. Patton. Mgr, Farmers
Elevator Co., Redwood Falls, MINI.
Dear Sir: Replying to your es-
teemed favor Of the 18th. permit US
to say we have had the bearded
wheat tested at Minneapolis, with
very poor results.
The bran is very thick, and the
flour made from the same is not
very good. All the mills that have
had any experience with this wheat
steer clear of it as much as possible.
This is the wheat that is generally
known as Velvet Chaff. Give US the
Blue Stem and the White Fife and
we do not want any Of the 1873 beard
ed wheat as you call t, or rather
the Velvet Chaff. This class of
wheat partakes of the nature of
durum or macaroni. The stuff is
not in it.
Trusting this explanation is salts
factory and hoping you will prevent
the farmers from raising this class
of wheat as much as possible, as it
will have to be bought at large
discount under the blue stem prices,
we are,
Yours very truly,

Tax Amendment.
LETTER w.

Ed. GAZETTE: | promised in
previous letter to take up the ex-
emptions of property in taxation in
the tax amendment to be voted on
next election and | shall demonstrate
that some of these symptoms render
this tax amendment void, for they
violate the rights of citizens guar
anteed by both national and state
constitutions. Attorney General
Young in his letter to me July, 1906,
on this question says: 'As to ex-
emptions Of school and church prop
erty, | will only say that this amend
ment does not change the constitu-
ton in that respect. That is a subject
that can be disposed of by enlight-
ened public opinion whenever our
present policy is deemed unwise."
This opinion Of an official indicates
that he knows that the people of
the state are hoodwinked in the
matter of tax exemptions and also
that he is an unfaithful official, as
it is his duty to enlighten public
opinion on constitutional amend
ments. The United States constitu-
ton says: Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of
religion. or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof" This plainly pro-
hibits all legislation by congress re-
specting church matters.
The state constitution, Art. | Sec.
16, state bill of rights, says on this
question:: 'The enumeration of
rights in this constitution shall not
be construed to deny or impair 9TH
ers retained by and inherent in the
people. The right of every man to
worship God according to the die
tates of his conscience shall never be
infringed, nor shall any man be COM
PEELED to attend, erect or support
any place of worship, or to maintain
any religious or ecclesiastical min
istry, against his consent; nor shall
any control of or interference with
the rights of conscience be per-
mitted. or any preference be given
by law to any religious establish
ment or mode of worship; but the
liberty Of conscience hereby secured
shall not be so construed as to ex-
cuse acts Of RIGHTEOUSNESS, or justi-
fly practices inconsistent with the
peace or safety of the state, nor
shall any money be drawn from the
treasury for the benefit of any re-
| ligiousss societies, or religious or
theological seminaries.' A more
complete separation or distinction
Of church and state, than that Sec
ton off citizens rights conveys it
would be hard to imagine, for it is a
logical amplifcation of the United
States constitution in Article | of
the amendments quoted above.
Now, with that bill of rights, right
before the eyes of our legislators, it
is astonishing that these exemptions
even got into the state constitution.
These exemptions also fatty contra
dict Art. ". Sec. 33 State Const.,
which says: THE legislature shall
pass no special law exempting prop
erty from taxation; granting to any
corporation, association or individual
any special or exclusive immunity
or franchise whatever, or author
izing public taxation for private
purpose"
Now what says our tax amend
ment; Public burying grounds
public school houses, public hos
pitfalls, academies, colleges, univer-
sites and all seminaries of learning,
all churches, church property used

For year the hackers of the twin

projectsshaye been using the adver-
Using columns of the Journal IN
soliciting the investing public's sup
port. The publicity given to the
enterprisei.has.. naturally given rise
to the Questions: Is it a feasible
project on.a bona fide basis, and are
all reasonable safeguards given to
investors? To answer these ques-
tons, Fred. H. ssWendell of Wendell
& Green, the Minneapolis public ac-
countants, l.has just completed
thorough examination of the books
of the company. 1t was in the be-
lief that a new short line to the
head of the lakes, operated by cleo
tricity ,swould, if realized, be good
thing, and THAT the public was en-
titled Ito an impartial and expert
examination Of the enterprise in
question, that the Journal commits
stoned Mr.. Wendell to undertake
the task, & He was selected because
of his well-known qualifications for
the work, fand because his standing
in the community insured his report
ing the facts exactly as he found
them.
Mr.. Wendell has completed his
examination and made his report to
the Journal. He finds substantially
that the project is wisely conceived
and logically laid out; that the COM
pany's affairs have been economical
ly administered in the interests of
the individual investors; that every
facility was afforded him for thor
ough examination, and that there is
not and has not been any opportun-
ity or disposition for stock-jobbing
on the part of the officers. After

have the slightest hesitation in in
vesting his own money in the pro-
lject.

for religious purposes, and houses
of worship, institutions of purely
public charity and public property
used exclusively for any public pur-
pose shall be exempt from taxa
ton.
All these exemptions, excepting
property owned, controlled and sup
ported! by state taxation, are spec
lal privileges, and as such are void
according to our bill of rights and
Art. ~ Sec. SO, State Constitution.
Our state supreme court has long
ago decided that exemptions are a
privilege. Certainly then. when
citizens rights and illegal privileges
clash, the rights Unjust stand and
privileges go down. In these ex-
emptions are millions of dollars Of
private school, church and other
religious property exempt from tax
alton, which is a direct violation,
not only of the state constitution,
but of Sec. l Art. XIV of the ns-
tional constitution, which reads mo
state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities .of citizens of the
United States, nor shall any state
deny to any person within its juris-
diction the equal protection of the
laws. Now where comes in the
equality before the law in these ex-
emptions, when millions of dollars
OF property are exempt from tax
alton and that burden is placed on
others shoulders. Every taxpayer
should know that each branch Of
our government, state, county, town
and all state schools, levy their
taxes for support in a lump sum,
and these lump sums are worked
GU t in mills and collected by the
county treasurer. Now if there are
millions of private property exempt
from taxation, other property must
pay the tax, for taxes and death are
the only two things we mortals are
sure of having to meet. There are
many intelligent taxpayers who have
become weary of paying taxes for
an apostate church and private
schools and colleges in which we
have no interest, and we are de-
termined if we cannot get relief by
state legislation to appeal to United
States. courts and claim our rights
as United States citizens.
So far las citizens education is
concerned the people Of the state
are amplysprovided for in our COM
mon schools, high schools and uni
versities, and all other institutions
of learning are private property and
should payi taxes in common with
the rest Of the property of the
state. We, believe that no honest
churchman or educator can object
| to paying his share of taxes to sup
port the government. The follow
/ ing froma Justice Cooley supports
my contention. 4 He says: ''The dis
elimination by the state between
different classes of occupations and
the favoring of one at the expense
of the rest is. not legitimate legis.
