What Is the Remedy?

Several of our exchanges have
copied an item from the Pioneer Press
telling how. a farmer at Long Lake in
Hennepln county eradicated quacks
grass at a cost of SIS per acre, but the
formula and treatment are not given.
what the farmer who is troubled with
quack grass wants to know is how to
get rid OF it. If a cheap remedy has
been discovered the public should be
put wise.

STATE AID q NECESSITY.

STATE AID n NECESSITY.
In communication to- the Lake
City Republican, Hon. Il. @. Cooke,
the senator from the Third (Wabasha
county, district, who instituted pro.
ceedings to test the constitutionality Of
the law appropriating 5000, 900 for
roads and bridges, explains the
motive that actuated him. We do not
for moment question Senator
Cookies honesty Of purpose, but it
would have been better, far better, if
the matter had been disposed of two
years earlier. The recent decision of
the supreme court has made it clear
that until such time as the constitu-
ton is amended the legislature can
levy a tax of only one-fourth of one
mill for the purpose of constructing
or improving roads and bridges.
Hence it is useless to discuss the
merits or dement's of the method en-
ployed by the last legislature in APP
portioning the 100000 appropriated
by a law that has been held uncon-
stitutional.
It may not be out of place, however,
to notice one of Senator Cookies con-
tentions. He holds that ssunless the
distribution is unequal county or
town, which must by taxation first
contribute it's share to the state
treasury, never gains anything by
getting money from the state out of
the general fund for roads and
bridges. -
Surely the senator does not mean
that the distribution of fund raised
by general taxation for public i'm
provements should be distributed on
the basis of valuation. If the one
mill general school tax was distribute
ed on the basis of valuation instead
of on the per capita school attendance
the three counties of St. Louis,
Ramsey and Hennepin would receive
more than half the proceeds of that
tax, for the valuation of those three
counties exceeds that of the other 50
counties of the state. Nearly all the
large enterprises, mercantile and
manufacturing, as we'll as all of the
railroad terminals, are located in
those three counties, hence the major
share of the wealth of the state is
concentrated there. There is nothing
unreasonable in the proposition that
the steel trust, for instance, whose
headquarters are located in St. Louis
county, should contribute in: taxes to
the general road and bridge fund of
the state. Under present valuations
if:a tax of one mill could be imposed
the steel trust would contribute $780,
600, and other wealthy individuals,
firms. and corporations in like
proportion. In many localities
especially in northern Minnesota,
taxes are levied to the limit per-
Missile by law for roads and bridges,
and in not few instances private
individuals donate money or labor
in addition. State aid in the con-
struction and Improvement of roads,
in the northern part of the state es-
pecially, is an imperative necessity.

Supreme courts are frequently con-
demned for their decisions. But it
must be remembered that these courts
are guided by the intent of the law,
which is ofttimes not in accord with
common sense.

An Elegant Display.

An Elegant display.
n-strolling down Main street past
Byers' store the other day we noticed
an elegant display of new pictures in
the show case outside of the store
which represent the latest and best in
the Photographic art as represented
by Nelson's photo studio. It is GER
tainly a great credit to small vii
lage the size of Princeton to have
such high-grade work displayed on
its main business street, and MANY
compliments are heard from strangers
who come here. Often the remark is
heard that you can go up and down
Nicollet avenue or any of the main
business streets of the large cities
and you will not find better samples
of pictures than those made and dis
played by Nelson's photo studio in
Princeton. There is for instance
combination picture of Mr.. Byers and
his grandson in four different poses,
which is a very good combination.

picture we noticed good one of
George Roos and others. This main
exhibit is set off by border of postal
photos, which makes nice little

fine exhibit and shows why it is that

IF the Citizens want
1t! It's Up to the
Town! Raise the
$4,000 and the
Mill Will Be Built
and In Operation
By October 1,f19O9

Mr.. D. D. Little, the cotton mill man
of Spar rtanburg, Mr.. Carroll Baldwin
and Mr.. S. J. Hallyburton, two capita
lists of New York City, had an extend
ed conference at the Hotel Gates with a
large number of representative citizens
of the town, today, in reference to the
proposed cotton mill to be located here
The conference was held at two
O'Clock on Wednesday, At the time of
this paper going to press it looks as if
the mill would be built.
/ Mr. Little and his associates offer to
invest $500, 900 if $75, 900 is raised here.
1t is believed this amount will be
raised and the mill built.
The meeting was largely at
tended by representative busi-
ness men of Hendersonville,
about 200 being present. A
committee of five were appointed
to raise $1,000 subscription to
the capital stock.
The weekly pay roll will be
over $500 per week.
There will be absolutely no debt
on the mill
The shares will be $50 each.
It is said that 100 carpenters
will take one share each.
The mill will be located near
town and there will be no COM
pany stores.
The mill will be started about
April 1st and be in operation by
October 1st.
1t is the duty of every lover
of this beautiful town to aid tC
the very best of his ability in
this gigantic undertaking.
This mill is but the starting
point. 1t will be increased un-
til it will be truly a gigantic
proposition.

the meeting and K. G. Morris,
secretary.

have worked under the different

than any law we have ever had.
But under the Med. Ray law you
will hear 'cussing" right. A
better law than that ought to be
printed on post card. \ / am not
in favor of paying Mr.. Jordan
$1,000 a year to drive over the
