Kenmare Journal: The Kenmare
Journal has discovered that Jim John
son Is not the man to send to congress.
1t is presumed that some disgruntled
politician has been whispering in
Sticks" ear, for, If we remember
rightly, The Journal, several weeks ago.

editor was, no doubt, giving his honest
opinion of the Ward county candidate.
but for obvious reasons, has turned his
coat. Well, 1t does not make any DIFF
ference. for Jim and his friends are
undaunted and will pay no more atten-
tion to the actions of such men as
Stickley than an elephant does to the
bite of a flea"
And thus foolishly spake the learned
editor of The Minot Independent, there
by missing his guess in every instance.
There Ii an old saying. ''Try it on the
dog" hence we win proceed with q
vivisection of the above.
The term discovery" means the re.
vealing of fact or the uncovering OF
a condition or thing, hence in this
instance Mr.. Colcord has our thanks
for sustaining our contention that Jim
Is unfit for congress.
Then Mr.. Colcord's presumption is
not well founded, fo.. no politician has
been whispering i'm our ear, and 1T
wouldn't do any good if he did. for,
unlike the obese editor of The Tndepen-
dent, we haven't been fixed" nor ar )
we liable to be. We shot 1t into Jim
johnson just because w. A. StickIey
himself is pretty well satisfied that
jim is not true representative of
North Dalsotans for eongress. and no

it is probable that within so years the
two thousand owners of half the land
of England would be increased to fifty
thousand, and in a century the land
would be so divided as to make impos-
sibIe that conference requisite to mo-
nOpOly. In some parts of the United
States one begins to hear murmurinG
against the practice OF buying and
holding large estates by absentee land
lords, but because of the American
aand laws these large estates can not
be entailed, and therefore soon will
break up of their own weight.
Land Rarely Sold.
In England land is rarely sold. 1t is
let to tenants by the year: 1t is leased
for long or short terms; its use is dis
posed of in many ways. but there IS
seldom an outright sale. Sustaining the
natural prejudice against parting with
land. the law makes the transfer Of own
ership so difficult and expensive as to
discourage any general trading in land
Parliament time and time again has re-
fused to require the registry of deeds,
so that the title to land always is diff
ficult to trace. Where sales are made,
the tracing Of the title and the expense
of transfer averages 10 per cent of the
value of the land. and in many instances
two or three times that amount.
Not only is the peasant farmer forced
TO pay tribute to this all-embracing
trust, but the industries also are COM
PEELED to contribute largely to its cof-
fers. For example, take the Rhondda
valley, a coal mining region of South
Wales. Sixty years ago the valley had
only thousand people; now its popula-
ton is $4,000. The same landlords,
with perhaps minor exception or two,
who owned tie land then own it now.
Then they received practically nothing
from rents; now they receive $4,000
year from ground rents and more than
$1,000 600 a year from royalties, on the
basis of II cents a ton for the coal
taken out.
Coal Miners Taxes Heavy.
The operators of the coal mines pay

all of the taxes, which amount to $780,
600 a year When coal was discovered
there. the landlords refused absolutely
to sell and thus they have been reaping
for many years past an annual harvest
of nearly q million and a quarter dollars
a year without paying a cent of taxes,
without taking any risks, without eX-
ercising any business ingenuity or any
talent of direction They simply own
the land and collect the money.
In one instance in South Wales a
mining company which makes a profit
Of $4,000 a year pays 100000 a year
rent and royalty to the landlords and
S17.5OO a year in taxes. If ever there
