1t is costing too much to run the
state and govern it's people and who is
there that will not agree to this?-
Granite Falls Tribune.
No sensible person will disagree
with you, Bro. Putnam. There is al
together too much governing in this
state nowadays. It is getting so that
one cannot turn around without but
ting into a state official of some kind
or other, and they all cost money.
The alpha and omega of statesman
ship seems to consist of devising ways
and means of raising more money by
taxation and creating bureaus, COM
missions and officials to expend the
same.

Those who predicted that President

of his predecessor were entirely in

railroad systems which are charged
with extorting excessive rates for both
freight and passenger service, and,
if possible, to break up these combi-

people living in the regions which
these roads traverse. In the list OF
twelve systems mentioned for investi-
cation the Great Northern does not

From careful perusal of large
number of the state papers we are con-
WINGED that public sentiment sustains
Governor Johnson's veto of the ton
mage tax bill. There are few papers
that condemn the governor and
question his motives. OF course there
is = room for honest difference of
opinion, but why not give the govern
or credit for. doing what he thought
was just and right? We think the
governor was conscientious and
honestly believed that in exercising
the veto power he was acting for the
best interests of the entire state. One
thing is indisputable, the taxing
officers of the state have it within
their power to compel the producing
mines to pay as much into the state
treasury under the ad valorem system
as the tonnage tax would produce.
The advocates Of a tonnage tax seem
to overlook this simple fact.

While a cent or two on a loaf of bread
does not materially affect the man in
comfortable circumstances, it means
much to the poverty stricken, of whom
there are thousands in the large cities

What howl would have gone IN
from the Johnsonian organs if a re-
publican governor had vetoed the
tonnage tax bill! AS it is, almost
every Johnson organ in the state,
alleged re publican as we'll as demo
cratic, approve of the governors
action. For once the Union agrees
with the "organs." But it might be
said with truth that had it not been
for the governors utterances on the
stump and in his 1907 and 1909
inaugurals there would have been no
tonnage tax bill for him to veto. It
was an issue of his own making.

who had been in the habit of abusing
his wife and family every time he filed
up with poor whiskey, was warned by
his fellow-employes to mend his ways.
The warning was UNDECIDED. A few
nights since the brute was taken into

off and he was whipped with switches
until he was insensible, then he was
hurled into the Menominee river and
was finally dragged out more dead
than alive. The next day the fellow
signed the pledge.

intended by the Lord as judgment
upon that miserable sinner, John D.

could have picked him up and dashed
his head against rock without killing
any one else or doing other injury.

correspondent of the Pionee,

A correspondent of the Pioneer
Press who signs himself A. L. Doeg.
finds fault with the recent legislature
for enacting law "to tax the Door
down-trodden farmer one-fourth of a
cent a bushel on all the wheat and fax
he may raise, and one-eighth of a
cent on what oats, barley and corn he
may raise or have on hand when the
assessor shall appear on his yearly
round.' The correspondent errs. The
law in question applies to grain in
elevators and warehouses, and the tax
is one-fourth Of a mill on wheat and
flax and one-eighth of a mill on other
grain, but even so it is ill.,
advised legislation. Grain in eleva-
tors should be taxed the same as other
property. Under that wide open
amendment, which was read into the
constitution by a majority of our
supreme court, any rank injustice in
taxation is possible. A bushel tax on
grain is as undesirable as a tonnage
tax on iron ore, and there is no good
reason why the governor should ap-
prove of the one and veto the other.

While Japan may not actually fear
another conflict with Russia, it is pre-
pairing for any possible event of that
nature by stringing soldiers along the
Manchurian frontier. Japan is at
this time financially weak-it has
reached it's limit in securing loans of
any great amount from the powers.
Consequently an invasion by Russia
would be altogether different propo-
sition from the Slate unpleasantness. !"
Russia has negotiated large loans,
has reorganized and re-equipped it's
army and can place, it is estimated,
three million men in the field. Russia
learned lesson when it was whipped

covites swoops down upon the terri
tory which was once the czar's and
wrests it from the Mikado. Sentiment

anese war was with the brown runts,
but should hostilities again break out
between these nations that sentiment

Taking the Cob Gut of Corn,

The latest product of scientific
agriculture is cobless corn. A
farmer of Illinois under the patronage
of the agricultural college of that state
is trying to take the cob out of corn
and make the kernels grow in close
head like those of wheat.
Apparently this is the highest point
reached in the evolution of grain.
The finer grains fit for bread grow in
this close head, with the kernels cling
ing to the stalk. Coarser grains fit
only for the use of cattle grow in a
more struggling head with long stem
between the grains and the stalk. By
analogy Indian corn would be in a
lower stage of development, since the
grains are crowded together. on a
hard woody cylinder, unfit for food,
which grows directly out Of the stalk
in an oblong sheath or husk. His
torically wheat has been cultivated as
many thousands of years as Indian
corn has been cultivated hundreds.
It is reasonable to expect, therefore,
that the latter is susceptible of much
higher development. Probably civil
lized farming has improved the kernel
vastly since the Pilgrims landed in
New England and the Cavaliers in
Virginia.
The Illinois farmer is more ambi-
tious. He has produced few grains
of corn without cob, whose kernels
grow something like those of oats,
each in its own husk at the end of a
stem. He is now at work getting rio
of the stem by careful selection OF
kernels to plant so as to make his new
corn grow more like wheat or rye.
We do not know what the effect of
this change will be on the Indian corn
plant, which is one of the most beauti-
full in cultivation. 1t is we'll known
that the corn ovaries are fertilized
from another flower on the same
stalk. If this can be imagined as an
earlier form of the wheat plant, per-
haps the corn of future ages will bear
single punches of complete flowers,
afterwards heads of grain near the
top Of q huge stalk resembling that OF
millet. Minneapolis Tribune.
