The Duluth Herald says that F. B. McLeran,
who has farm near Wrenshall. said in an ad-
dress at Duluth: "When delivered at Duluth,
iron ore is worth $3.50 ton. A ton of butter
delivered here is worth 5000. To develop a
mine on the Mesaba range so that it can ship
ore, as much as $1O,ooo0oo has been expended
and yet if I should advance a proposition to
spend as much that on plant or system for
producing butter [ would be regarded cam
ddate for mad house."
Morris tribune., 1909-02-20

An official in the land office at Miles City,
Mont, has made careful computation of facts
and figures regards homesteads in this coun-
try and states that in about six years, at far
thest all the unreserved public lands of the
United States will belong to private owners.
Regarding the present conditions the Pioneer
Press says editorially:
AS everybody knows the greater part of the
recent rapid absorption has been by corpora
tons and individuals. fraudlently using the
homestead and timber claim acts to enable
them to acquire thousands of acres Yet con-
gress stolidly refuses to pass any measure for
reform. 1t likewise persists in allowing the
homestead law to remain unaltered, thus Civ
ing to every homesteader and to every dummy
representing himself as a homesteader, 16O
acres of land, when 40 acres is now worth
more than 100 was when the law was enacted,
and when there are dozens of applicants now
where formerly there only one.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Garfield and
the department of justice making strenu-
Gus effort to recover for the government many
millions of acres fradulently obtained by the
present holders. The addition of these stolen
acres to the amount of land available for bona
fide settlers will not, however, more than offset
the increased demand; so the period OF six
years may be accepted as the final limit of the
homesteaders opportunity.
The story of the dissipation, by unwise leg
islation, of the finest landed inheritance ever
possessed by any nation, is melancholy one.
IF all the land has gone to actual homemakers,
little condemnation would be heard. The
transformation of the wilderness into small
farms, each the center of thrifty home life,
rnultiplies the nations resources beyond the
value of the "wild" land. But the tying up of
millions of acres III the hands of unscrupulous
Corporations and spectators is a sin against
the people.
Morris tribune., 1909-02-20
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 40, 1909.

The usual bills to increase the terms of
various county officers to four years have
been introduced in the legislature, but in
varibly have the defect of trying to extend the
tenure of the present incumbents for another
two years. We believe that large majority of
the people would be we'll satisfied with four
Year terms for county officers if the new law
were not to take effect until 1911.
S t
The Legislature has passed the law giving
the fifteenth judicial district new Judge. and
O. w. Stanton has been appointed to the place.
Mr.. Stanton formerly judge in this district,
but was defeated by close vote last fall.
While it appears that the judgeship was created
largely for the purpose of giving Stanton an
appointment yet he is man of ability, and his
many friends in this part of the state congratu-
late him landing the place.

Thos. Thorson, the former state senator
who recently was killed by fall in St. Paul,
victim of politics, says the Sauk Centre
Herald. He served in the Legislature several
terms but finally failed of reelection. He then
sought and obtained some minor perquisite
conferred by the Legislators during the ses-
sions. This session he was given five dollar
a day clerkshp. The lure of the political game
was too much for him and wrought his un-
doing. Why will level headed business men
continue to chase the will O. the wisp of
politics?
The registry tax law mortgages is con-
ceded to be great improvement over the old
method of taking mortgages as personal pro-
perty, but still further improvement is made
in a tax measure recently introduced by Re
preventative Bicknell. The present law i'm
poses tax of five mills the dollar to be paid
at the time of registration, but Mr.. Bicknell
proposes to amend this to one mill per year.
This will remedy the injustice of taxing short
term and long term mortgages the same, is
done at the present time. A further amend
ment provides that the mortgage shall become
void if the borrower is compelled directly or in
directly to pay the tax.
