WHY NOT CONSERVE HUMAN LIVES !?

Conservation has grown to be a
popular term ever since the move
ment for the conservation congress
was inaugurated in President Roose-
velt's time. Happily it has extend
ed so far as to take in worldwide
movements for the preservation of
human life as we'll as national
wealth. as witness the anti-tubercu-
losis and temperance organized
movements, both of which are get
ting to be appreciated from the
point of view of not only prolong-
ing human life, but of rendering
social conditions such that life may
mean more, than it does now, when
the words of popular poet
God, that bread should be so dear
and flesh and blood SO cheap" are
felt to epitomize real national perils.
A real peril to human life was
presented in strong terms by state
labor commissioner McEwen last
week in talk before the mems
club of one of the churches at Fari-
bault.
In these times of peace" Com
missioner McEwen is reported to
have said, 1--WE kill by accidents
every four years 1000 persons more
than all who fell in battle and died
of wounds, on both sides, in the
civil war. We are now killing twice
as many every year as persisted by
violence in both the French and
English armies during the Crimean
war.
There are more killed and
wounded on our railroads every year
than the losses of the Boer war on
both sides in three years.
'"The killed and wounded on both
sides in the Russo-Japanese war were

The Youths Companion takes the
fact that Colorado apples sold in
the New England market for $3.50
per dozen at the same time that fancy
California oranges were selling ct
fifty cents, as suggestive of what
New England orchardists could do
If they only cultivated and packed
their apples so as to command these
fancy prices. Which reminds us
that what the Minnesota fruit grow
ers need is not so much the climatic
conditions Of the western coast as
organized fruit organizations to
oversee the conduct of fruit growing
and packing, the same as exist in the
fruit regions Of the west. There is
always good market for fine fruit
and Minnesota growers can raise
that kind if they only go at it right.
That was demonstrated by our fruit
displays last fall.

American Magazine: The divine
right of the dollar to rule is the po-
lical creed of Senator Nelson Will
marth Aldrich, of Rhode Island, die
tator of the United States Senate.
He is no messenger boy for Wall
street, but the Washington embodi-
ment of the Wall street spirit. He
is just as sincere about the divine
right of the dollar to rule as was
Louis XIV over absolutism. The
operation Of the Darwinian law made
him Senate dictator. He came
to the Senate twenty-e eight years ago
grounded in the game through ex-
perience in a city council, a state
legislature and the House of Repre-
sentatives. Were he merely medic
ere, the Senate system and its tradi-
lions of seniority would make him
an influential figure now. The sys-
tenn is log rolling buttressed by
party regularity. The veteran SEN
ators, who are mostly New England
Senators, control the committee as
signments. Whenit comes to legis-
lation, tariff bill for instance, the
control gives them the initiative and
the direction of it. They decide on
what New England must have, and
they count the number of votes they
need, added to their own. to form a
majority of the Republican majority.
Those votes are secured by giving
enough Senators what they want out
of the bill. Aldrich is the greatest
expert at this system that Congress
has seen.

There is whole lot in the sentence
credited to Henry Ward Beecher
that He who hunts for flowers will
find flowers; and he who loves weeds
may find weeds" And it is also un-
fortunately true that it requires no
exertion to find the weeds or to
grow them.

dition will give birth to q stronger
calf, and will give more milk to
nourish it, than will cow in a poor
and weak condition. Correspond
ingly, plump, heavy kernel of
grain will produce stronger plant
and nourish it better than will a
shrunken, light kernel. This fact
has ceen demonstrated beyond doubt
by experiments testing the yield
from light and heavy weight seeds,
The following table shows the yield
of winter wheat obtained from light
and heavy weight seeds at the Ne
braska Experiment Station:
Kind Seed Yield per Yield per Average
acre 300 acre 1901 years
Heavy 49,. 29.5 bu 293bu 294bu.
Light. 49,. %. bu. 26.7 blu. 248b
Gain in favor of heavy seed ......... bu.
A similar experiment at the Min
nesota Experiment Station with
heavy and light weight oats (Bulle-
tin No. 81 gave an increase of 81
bushels per acre in favor of the
heavy seed.
There are two principles by which
grain can be separated in ordinary
tanning mills, namely, by weight
and by size Of kernel. The average
tanning mill will handle at this kind
of cleaning about 40 bushels per
hour. At this rate in eight hours
two men can clean 800 bushels
This will make the cost something
less than one cent per bushel.
With "side shake" tanning mill,
one can separate by weight as the
grain falls thru the air blast, and by
size of kernel as the grain passes
over the screens. This is the better
separation as it gives one the heavi-
est and plumpest kernels. With an
lend shake" mill, the separation can
be made only by size of kernel.
Either method is much better than
no separation or simply cleaning.
By taking 10 per cent. to SO per
cent. of the best Of the seed as
grown one can not only have the
best of his grain for seed, but can
have it almost absolutely free from
weed seeds. A. ID. WILSON.

Hon. A. E. Rice of Willmar resents
the recent pronunciamento of the
state bankers committee as to the
comparative efficiency of the agri-
cultural schools of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Ex-Gov. Rice, who is
one of the regents of the Minnesota
institution, declares that Minnesota
led the way in the movement for
farm instruction in rural schools,
and through its industrial contests
has brought such instruction into
more than half the counties in this
state. AS to Wisconsin's cheese
progress, Gov. Rice thinks the tri-
umphs Of Minnesota in the butter
line are just as remarkable, and that
Minnesota's manufactures exceed
her farm products is only justified
by putting flour and butter on the
manufactured list. Taking these
products of the farm out of the
manufactures column and the farm
products would be way ahead.
While Gov. Rice's defense is worthy
of consideration, most people will

BIOLOGIST BROOKS
 IS ALASKA BOUND
In the Early Fall He Will Visit the Leading Camps in the Southwest.

Edward w. Brooks, the mining geo. logist, consulting engineer for the London Arizona Copper company and other Finney interests has gone to Seattle. From there he will leave shortly for the Alaska copper dis tricts where he will make extended examinations for Seattle and Eastern copper interests.
 Upon Mir Brooks return, in the latter part of August, he will visit all the well known copper camps of the southwest and others not so well known, to report on the copper re- sources of these localities for New York capital John F. Campbell, a local mining engineer will accompany MT. Brooks on his various trips as assistant The result of these inves- tigations undoubtedly will be much additional capital for the development of the copper resources of Arizona

A NEW MEXICAN TAX RATE

They have just fixed up the county tax levy in Bernalillo county, New Mexico. for the ensuing fiscal year The levies for territorial and county purposes for the general school fund for the city schools of Albuquerque and for city purposes reach an az gregate which would make the av- craze Phoenix taxpayer "go straight up"-$69O on each $1OO of valuation for taxable purposes. There are other special levies amounting to $120. The territorial rate is s1.44A; for county purposes, s1.S2, and for city purposes, S1.S3. The county rate is so slightly lower in comparison with that of a year ago the taxpayer will hardly notice the difference in an increase of the rate for all purposes of about 75 cents.
 The matter of New Mexican tax levies was gone over pretty fully in the course of the joint statehood cam paign The levies quoted in the pro- ceedings before the house committee on territory astounded the member until Col. Rodey explained truthfully or not that the assessors of that ter ritory placed the valuations on prop erty so ridiculously low that the ter ritorial and county boards had to make the rates ridiculousfy high. He maintained therefore that the rate did not signify extravaganza in govern ment.
 If that was so the schools of Der nalillo county must be economically managed since the rate for general school purposes this year is only 30 cents, no increase over the previous rate.

IT IS NOW FOR THE PEOPLE
 TO SAY.

Now, if a majority of the people Tn majority of the states want an income tax law that will pass mus ter they can have it. There is really little doubt that the resolution adopted by the house yesterday will be rati- fled by a approximately large ma jority of the people who will have the question of amending the constitution in mind when they come to. vote for members of the legislature
 This has always been in this coun- try popular plan of taxation, though for constitutional reasons it could not be put into practice, there having been two supreme court decisions against it.
 Yet in the face of these decisions the democrats in congress and dmo- cratic politicians, together with such republican reformers as Messrs. Cum mins and LaFollette have insisted up- on flying for the third time into the face of the supreme court It is gen eTdlly uuueTSlOOu, however, that the activity of the advocates of such a bill in the present session was in appeal ing to prejudices rather than attempt ing the enactment of any legislation that would stand a third test
 But now an income tax law that will stand has been brought within reach. That it is a fairer method of increasing the public revenues than a corporation tax law is generally con ceded, the latter having been agreed to as an emergency measure.
 The corporation tax will not, as we might suppose, fall as a burden upon "bloated" corporations, but upon their stockholders, most of whom are small and whose incomes from that source are far below S5OOO. which would probably be fixed as the exemption of an income tax law.

PLAN
NOT FAVORED
BUILDERS INSIST CONCRETE
POURING IS NOT PRACTICAL
FOR HOUSES.
ALTHOUGH THE IDEAL HOME
CONTAINS THE MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF WOOD.

Not long ago Thomas Edison an
nounced new scheme in house build
ing. The plan in substance was to
erect big molds in the form OF
house, and then to pour fluid concrete
into them. In this manner it was
proposed to not only construct the
walls, but the floors, door and window
frames, and every other portion Of
the house as WELL There was not to
be stick Of wood in the entire struc-
ture Since then all sorts of plans,
in modification of the Edison house,
have been proposed. Most builders
insisted that the scheme is not prac-
seem to have caught on very strong
ly. The idea of getting along with
minimum amount of wood in a struc-
ture, however, takes WELL In the
Technical World Magazine an expert
describes the new home idea as fol-
lows:
"a house of cement a house with
out a chimney; a house with plenty
of artificial light and heat and yet
without bit of fire; a house with
out coal; without ashes; without dan
gerous gases such is to be the house
of tomorrow.
This is, indeed an ideal house, and
it is not impossible to have, for with
little trouble one has just been com
pleted at Carrolton, III. While this
home is wonderful, the average Amer
lean home will in few years from
now be like it.
Wood is fast becoming too scarce
and too high in price to be used as
common building material and the
time is already here when, for
economy's sake, architects and con-
tractors are figuring to construct all
buildings of steel and concrete. AS
the supply of coal diminishes, the
cost is advancing so that everything
possible is being done to husband the
supply, and to see that none of the
precious stored heat is wasted. Elec
tricity. generated by water. power, is
even now taking the place of coal as
source of power, and the time is not
far distant when it will rank first as
a source of heat.
This model twentieth century home
at Carrolton is 34x30 feet, two stories
high, with attic and basement, and has
eight rooms on the two main floors
While Edison's idea Of concrete
house to be poured into one big mold
was not carried out in its construe-
ton, yet the principal building ma
terial was of concrete. The founda
ton and walls are of concrete blocks
These blocks were nodded right on the
ground as they were required, so
there was no waste of material The
floors are of hardwood and the in
terror is finished in plaster and oak
Such a house requires but little wood
in its construction The style of arch
itecture is of plain, substantial mis-
sion type, this idea being carried out
throughout the interior. The house is
fronted with large porch, and the
whole construction, or. rather, the
entire cost, was less than $780,
