trust domination, therefore, the
State harvester plant deserves and
will receive, in case of my election
as Governor, my most earnest support.
Problems Of Taxation.
1nseparable from the question of
conservation is that of taxation. The
profit from the gifts Of nature to the
State tends to ease the direct burden
laid upon agricultural land, but wheth-
er we are wise or foolish in our con-
servation, we shall have taxation al
ways with us. Why should we not?
Taxation is q measure Of benefits
bestowed. It is a guarantee Of the
public peace, Of orderly justice, OF
equal opportunity. The only problem
is to make taxation as light as the
needs of the state permit and as equa-
BILE as the finite judgment of man can
make it, Of all the forms of taxa
ton which have been proposed there
is none which appears to lay it's hand
more equitably upon the citizen than
the income tax. It is the only tax
which meets the corporation and the
individual upon the same ground.

Did you ever hear of the Mountain
| Iron Mine, at one time a school sec
| ton belonging to the school children
of the state? It's wealth would have
put consolidated rural schools upon
a plane that would assure the agri-
cultural supremacy of Minnesota. Its
loss is an old story; so is the trea-
son of Arnold an old story, but it still
| points moral. Where were the ma
jority's conservationists when there
| was more to conserve?
Favors Conservation Department.
I believe in using all due diligence
to reserve to the people their full
equity in what is left, and to that end
shall, if elected favor the creation
of a Department Of Conservation
charged with the administration of the
remaining public lands and ore beds.
Such commission might be de-
nounced as a useless addition to the
already numerous boards and commits
sions, but it is demonstrate that such
department composed of the right
material would be of untold profit to
the state. The right man at it's head,
gard to politics, could make himself
name second to none among the
benefactors of the state.
Farmers Of Minnesota Benefit.
One Of the greatest triumphs of the
people Of Minnesota in coping with
| tariff-protected trusts is in the estab-
lishment of the State Prison Irvine
and harvester plant. This institu-
ton IS perhaps the most successful
enterprise of it's kind in which the
people have made a business success
in fighting a great industrial corpora
ton. AS the leading wheat-producing
state in the Union, Minnesota was the
special mark of the Irvine and har-
vester trust. The farmers of this
state were depended upon by the har-
vester trust to pay liberal share of
the dividends upon it's $120,000,000
capitalization.
The Minnesota State Prison plant
last year turned out and sold to farm
ers twine product Of 15,850,000
pounds valued at nearly $1,200,000.
Besides giving our farmers their Irvine
at reduced prices, the plant turned
to the credit Of the taxpayers net
profit of $4,000.
Through the fundamentally. of Gov
ernor Johnson, Representative Spoon
er, and the Board Of Control, the 1907
legislature appropriated 100000 for
harvester plant, and the state is
now manufacturing harvesters and
binders and mowers, over 80 binders
and 200 mowers, the first output, be-.
ing marketed this season.
By the active labor of Representa-
tive Spooner and the cooperation of
Governor Johnson, the Board of Con
troll and Warden Wolfer, the 1909 leg
islature voted tax levy to be paid
Of ten annual installments for total
of $2,250,o00 for a new plant and pri-
son that will be one of the finest in
the world.
Large though this appropriation
looks to the taxpayer, it is apparent
from the excellent business statement
shown BY the Board Of Control and
Warden Wolfer, that the profits Of the
plant will eventually meet the. tax

points and the debate would be end.
less II we did not anchor ourselves
to the single, simple proposition that
railroad performs a function of the
state. When it exercises the powers
OF the state, it must submit to the
same conditions which the state may
place upon it's own exercise of those
functions. We have gotten past the
point where railroad could be viewed
as a purely. private enterprise. Men
who invest in railroads voluntarily
place their property in such position
that the public has acquired an inter
est in it's use. What is that interest
It is that the railroad shall have no
greater rights than the state would
have if it had built these highways it.

This is necessary in order that the

Good Roads a Necessity.

Good Roads Necessity.
Good roads are the thread which
weave. us into one community.
If the tax levy Of this state can
be cut half mill, why return so
cents to the villager and a dollar to the
farmer, and eighty thousand dollars to
the steel company? Why not rather
put that amount into good roaas where
the dollar will do two dollars worth
of work for Minnesota apd the eighty
thousand dollars will be contributed
out of the wealth which the Creator
planted under the soil of Minnesota to
make the state richer in those con.
veniences which make for better liv.
ing and happier conditions.
But reductions of the state tax levy
are problematical. We can depend
upon them only as an occasional &C.
cession to the good roads fund l
stand, in addition, for the proposed
one mill tax and believe that an
amendment embodying this feature
should be submitted to the people.
lrterdependence of Rural and City
The discussion of rural education
good roads, and kindred topics natur
ally carries the mind to the relation
between the city and the country
Minnesota has three magnificent cit
les, each as Individual as three per
sons, each has it's own pecuEarities
and characteristics, but I think they
agree in this: that they have an in
tense pride in the creative part OF
Minnesota. The old dismal debate be-
cities of Minnesota know that their
prosperity is dependent upon the
growth of the country. They can ad
vance no faster than the farmer. II
has been said that we could burn all
our cities and still have great coun
try, but we could not burn all ou1
farms and have a single great city OF
a single city of any kind. Therefore
to say that country and city are al
war is to fly in the face Of a manifest
destiny which limits the city's growth
to the rate of advance of it's tribu
tary territory. The cities are not
more interested in their own growth
than they are in the growth of the
country Nor are the cities selfish
They are willing to carry their share
of the burden of the state. They are
eager to cooperate in all that makes
| for the best Of both.
Conserve in Act as Well as Voice.
Conservation-A splendid word tt
conjure with Conservation is a city
as we'll as country problem. The
| non-conservatio ton of forests already be
gins to affect the city builder and the
| city home-maker.
