ATTACK ON BUTTER.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press sees a
menace to the butter interests of Min
nesota in the recommendations of
United States Treasurer Mcveagh, and
says:
The land-grabbers, the destroyers of
forests, the water-power monopolies,
and the combinations which are attack
ing the reclamation service, are not the
only interests which are planning to
profit by molding to their purposes the
easy going, good-natured man whom
the people elected president in the be-
lief that he would carry out the Roose-
velt policies. The men whose fraud
ulent commerce was attacked by the
pure food laws are also looking hope
fully to Washington for relief from
'exasperating restraints"
Just as the timber thieves and water
power monopolists have found in Bal
ltnger a Moses under whom they are
gaily marching back to the Promised
Land, so have the oleo men found in
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh a
leader who, as they hope, is to go forth
conquering and to conquer the makers
of honest butter. He has already recon-
mended to congress a reduction of the
tax to q pitiful 2 cents a pound--a fig-
ure which would put no restraint what
ever on the fraudulent manufacture.
1t took long years of strenuous en-
deavor, organization and outlay for the
buttermakers to win from congress the
enactment Of the law which compelled
oleo men either to sell 1t honestly as
oleo or to pay a tax OF ten cents a
pound for the privilege Of coloring 1t In
imitation of butter. A further long.
anxious period intervened while the
law was being tested in the courts. IT
stood the test; and the first victory was
won for legislation favoring absolute
honesty in the manufacture and Yend-
ing Of foods, as opposed to the ''com-
mercial honesty" which looked upon
tricks as an admissible factor in all
trades
The pure food and meat inspection
laws of the Roosevelt era could never
have been passed but for the Campaign
of education" carried on in behalf of
pure butter. For the present admins

be to open the way to an utter aband-
onment Of another of the Roosevelt
policies and for the surrender of our
markets again to the venders of all
sorts Of spurious and poisonous foods.
Here Is consideration which out
weighs even the loss and wrong which
will be inflicted on the buttermaking
industry Of Minnesota and other states
by the readmission to the markets OF a
fraudulent article In competition
with the golden product of
our dairies. President Taft may

advocacy by a member OF his cabinet.
of a backward step in pure food legisla-
ton. Such step would mark, not only
the beginning of disaster to a great
Industrial interest. but of an early de-
cay in the regenerative processes that,
under Roosevelt's leadership, promised
so much for the business world of

New York. Aug. 2S.--If John D.
Rockefeller lives till mis- sOth birthday,
and he has said he will reach 100, he
will become the first billionaire in
history. In the last two years STAN
dard Oil, the wonderful automatic
money making machine OF his crea-
tion. has increased mis- fortune $780,
100000. This Is the increment of the
rise in value Of the stock alone.
The latest approximated accurate es-
Inmates available place his fortune in
1905 at at least $3.50, 900, 900. In 1900
1t was $40O,000,000. This is an increase
for the five years of $3.50. 100000. At
this ratio the Rockefeller fortune Is
today about $70O,OO0,00O. In 1914,
still at the same ratio OF increase, 1t
will be about $s5O,0OO,Oo0 and in 1919,
when the oil king reaches his S0th
year, 1t will have reached the stupen-
dous, brain giddying total Of $1,000
900, ,O00-an lnconceivagble sum.
In September. 1897, ii was estimated
by Rockefellers closest associates that
his income was at least s30.25 min
ute. Some figures placed 1t as high an
$40 during the same space of time.
The sums earned for him by STANDARD

NORTH DAKOTA CENSUS.


North Da&otanS-in common with
other residents of the United States
are TO be enumerated next year. This
is a matter in which the people. not
only OF the entire state, but especially
of Fargo are particularly interested.
Fargo wants nothing the city is not
entitled to-but she wants all that.
These Official counts occur only each
decade and any mistakes will prove
injurious to the city for the succeed
ing ten years.
Down east places with larger pop
ulation than Fargo are regarded as
villages-just spots on the map. In
a comparison of census figures the
smaller cities Of the west suffer. Peo-
pie do not realize that Fargo is the
largest city in the state-just because
it's population is between $4,000 and
10000.
1t is all the more important that
there should be an accurate count next
spring. Ten years ago when A. H.
Laughlin of Lisbon was supervisor, he
had some difficulty in securing local
men to make the enumeration and sent
an outsider into Fargo to take the
census in one Of the wards.
The commercial club should see that
nothing like this occurs again. In
fact the club couldn't expend money
for better purposes than to hire an
expert directory man like Chas. Petit
bone, to supervise the local count
With the appointment of Frich of
Lakota for the north half Of the state
considerable interest attaches to the
selection of the man for the south half.
On the surface Jimmie Foley of Bis
marck and d. A. Mckenzie of Sargent
county are the leading candidates.
There is some opposition developing to
Foley because of his numerous public
positions. His biennial jobs as secre-
tary of the state senate, private Sec
retaryship to the governor, secretary
ship of the railroad commission and
other positions are remembered.
Deacon" Mckenzie was the unsuc-
cessful candidate for the republican
nomination for state treasurer at the
last primaries. His friends think he
would be good man-and it is UNDER
stood that the deacon is sure he could
estimate the number Of people better
than he did the votes last year.
Both are good fellows and either
should make good on the census job.
