New Ulm review., 1909-01-20

The Review is hardly inclined to
favor the tonnage tax method of realiz-
ing revenue for the rich mineral pro-
.perties in the northern part of the
state. Rather is it inclined to share
the news of 0. M. Hall of the state
atax commission who says:
IA tonnage tax is levied upon the
ore actually mined, or shipped, in
each year. If it is year of prosper
ity with a large and unusual demand
for iron and steel, the output of the
mines will be large, resulting in a
correspondingly large revenue from
she tax. If the year is one of depres-
sion, panic or stagnation, the output
will be small and the revenue CORES
pondingly small.
"'This would result in a perennial
uncertainty as to the amount of re-
venue the public would derive from
tthis source which would be at all
times embarrassing. The state, coun-
ty and assessment districts which are
entitled to the proceeds of the tax may
or may not have large income there
from in any one year. Their respec-
tive treasures may have surplus or
a deficit depending entirely upon the
prosperity or depression of the iron
and steel business for that year.
"In any year in which there is a
surplus of revenue by reason of a
large output of the mines, such sur
plus is apt to be squandered for un.
necessary public purposes. It is not
the habit of the governing bodies in
American counties or municipalities
to allow surplus to rust in the pub
1ic vaults. In any year in which
there is a deficit in the revenue by
reason of small output of the mines,
such deficit must be made good by in
creased taxes upon the real estate and
personal property not included in the
iron properties.
''The existing ad valorem system
presents no such uncertainty in the
public revenues. They are practical
ay fixed and determined each year anC
are not dependent upon the fuctua
tions of the iron and steel market

Take Down the Bars.

Prof. William Sumner, writing in
the New York Herald, strongly advo-
Gates absolute freedom of trade with
Canada. Here are some of his argu-
ments and they cannot well be gain
said:
"Whenever revision is attempted
it can nationally begin by admitting
Canada into complete equality with
ourselves in the same market The
line across North America is more
absolutely senseless than any other.
The "pauper labor" and other argu-
unents here all fail. The two pOpula-
Hions run together, are closely alike
and work under similar conditions.
The New Yorker trades to the south
absolutely without restraint; to the
north he is restricted by the great
'ssystem.' The men of l776 tried
hard to force Canada to join in the
revolt. Imagine the calamity if they
mad succeeded and had brought Cana
eaa inside of our constitutions prohi-
Clifton OF import duties between mem
foers of the confederation. The fact
that the Dominion is still in some
sense subject to Great Britain is only
an historical accident. Why should
the two states try to keep apart by
aoaxation and imagine that they can
prosper in that way better than they
could by coalescing economically?
''There are in the Dominion great
stores of coal lumber and metals which
we need and could use. They are shut
away from US by taxes which are a
derision of common sense. If we ever
sake up the tariff, determined to serve
our own interests nationally, we shall
brush away all these hindrances and
leave individuals to produce and
trade as they see fit.
"'The same arguments apply equal.
Ey to all other parts of America.
Nearly all of it is inferior to ourselves
in economic development and indus
trial power. 1t is a grand market
which we have renounced in our at
6empts to get our ''system" complete
against Europe. We went to war
with Spain in 1898, and were draw
ON to dream of Oriental trade. We
are spending millions to try to get it.
and to build navy with which to de-
fend it. There is more and better
trade to be had with Canada, without
expense, by repeating taxes"

Congressman Davis of St. Peter is
preparing to try to make trouble for
the appropriations committee ifthere
is no change in the status Of the secret
service provided in the sundry civil
appropri ations bill.
81 believe the secret service bureau
should have the fullest possible scope
in the detection and prevention of all
kinds of crime,'' said Mr.. Davis.
If there is no provision restoring
the former status of the secret service
bureau or for the creation Of bureau
of criminal investigation, will intro
duce an amendment for that purpose
or see that one is introduced by some
other member of the house. For GER
tain reasons would prefer that some
one else present the matter to the
house but will support the PROPOSE
tion heartily

Of herding the cows. A minister, new

The sort of Schools the S0hth
Needs.

But without Gisparaging the collefe
Of the University. l would say that first
of all, we must give greater attention
to the public schools 1t is in them that
the farther, the average ma gets his
education. We cannot make our South
ern farmers adopt Iowa methods SO
long as in the average Southern State,
there are five times es many White
farmers who can't read a farm paper
| or fertilizer formula, as there are in
Iowa. We cannot improve our farming
until We educate our farmers; we can
not develop the South until we develop
! OUT Scntherners.
Nor is it enough that we have longer
public school terms; we must have bet
| ter public schools. And we must make
them train for life, for pratical things.
Teach the farm boy how cotton and
corn and tobacco may be improved by
seed selection; how Il plant feeds, and
how soils are exhausted; what elements
ars found in \comyton faeastuffs, ai,a
which m.sks. fat and Which make mus:
cIe;; which cows MAKE money in the
dairy, and Nhith should be selected for
beefzand a thousand other things. Not
tonly should the elenests' Of agriculture
be a pubic school study in the rural
I.districts, but there shcGId lie g revolu-
rian in the textbooks for other studies.

where co you find sucEii words as nitro

step forward when the farm boy has
propcstionately fewer problems in
