The mail order business ma, deVel-
oped wonderfully in the past ten or
fifteen years. The man who founded
one of the big mail order houses IN
Chicago sold out his interests IN the
firm few months ago for S23, Ooo,oVo'
The stock in thi, corporation pays
large dividends The firm has con-
tributcd 100000 to a Young Men $
Christian Association building in Chr
caro-. No one will object to the con-
tribution. The firm had the right to
make it and deserves credit for IT, The
building will be a good thing for CHI
cago. But the firm which made the
donation derives practically all Its
trade from territory outside OF Chlca-
30. The concern issues large cata-
logues and it sells everything from
pins to automobiles. The sales run
M into the millions annually. This
money which flows into the safe OF
this mail order house comes chiefly
from the farms, villages and small
cities all over the country. Mantle
voc county sends its share to the det-
riment of its own business interests.
Even the city of Manitowoc contrib
utes quite literally to the prosperity
of the Chicago mail order house, but
no one has heard Of any donation for
Y. NJ. G. A. building in Mantowoc.
County merchants know that the
mail order houses are strong compctit'
ors. Large sections Of country are
drained Of their surplus cash because
Of the alluring catalogues from Chica.
90. Money spent with the home ncr
chant makes for prosperity at home
Money sent to mail order houses helps
to build up Chicago. Wouldn't it be
better for Manitowoc county people t.
spend their money As far rs possible
with Manitowoc county firms?

There is a good deal more OF hypo
crisy than logic in the efforts OF some
Republican newspapers TO place the
responsibility for the high prices OF
foodstufTs on the cold storage people.
Any port in "A storm and any suhtcr-
fuge to dctract attention from the real,
prepondcrating cause of the present
distress, which is the monopoly breed

We hold no brief for the cold storage
concerns, but it must be admitted that,
whatever sins they have to answer for.
the public would find hard todowith-
out them PcrisbabIe food products
would run the gamut in iluctuation,
from ruinouSly low prices to the pro-
Queer in times of harvest and heavy

for the cqualiZing influence Of cold
storage stocks ON the other hand
the evils in the cold storage system,
upon which the tariff shicldcr, try
to fasten all the blame for present
outrageous conditions, would be greatly
minimized if not wholly wiped out
by the abolition of tariff dulic, on
all foodstuifs With the free entry

IAN ARMY MULE.

can Army Mule" a new serial story
by Charles Miner Thompson, begins in
the February 10th issue of The Youth 5

obstinacy of the old soldier who is its
principal character. His mulishness
involves him and those about him in a
succession of the most mystifying and
distressing complications.
Sample copies of The Companion, in
Guiding the issue containing the first
installment of this extraordinary story,
will be sent upon request to any one
who mentions this paper.

READ AND PONDER.

In the series of articles on political
Reform ia Wisconsin," by f. l.. Phil
lipp recently published in the Milwau-
kee Sentinel, are TO be found some IN
teresting figures under the heading,
''Taxation.' relating to the cost OF
running our state government. 1t Is
announced that Mr.. Phillipp's articles
are in the hands of the printer and Will
soon appear in book form, when the
figures will be available to the general
public.
Meanwhile it may be of interest to
know that the cost of administering
the states business affairs have IN
creased approximately 100 per cent
during the nine years from 1899 to l9o6
inclusive. The increase for the ten
wears from 1889 to 1899 was about A
per cent.
In 1899 when Maj. Edward Scofield
was governor, the total receipts OF the
state from all sources were I,O'O,3lo-
81. anu INC lOldl tiNlphl oSlil'ii'' ''' 'N''
purposes amounted to 50, SSi, 33946.
Nine years later, in 1908, the total
receipt, amounted to s., 300, 9S2.s2, and
the total disbursements to 81, 1852, 1ll.49
an increase of S3,S7S, 1928, or 9OS5
per cent. Is this reform?
For the two years ending September
80. 1900. the last term of Gov. Scotield-
it cost 87.ss3, 574.S9 to pay the expenses
of the state administration. For the
biennial period ending June 30, 1905,
the disbursements for allpurposes were
SIh229, OTIS.
An attempt may be made to explain
these figures by saying that the taxes
of the corporations have been enor-
mou,ly increased during the last de-
cadc. This is true, but it il also true
that the taxes collected from the citi-
zens Of the state generally have been
increased.
In 1899 the state collected from the
corporations in the form Of license fees
the sum of SILL. 3SLG0. In 1908 the
amount collected from that source was
| 1892. 530.O7. or sos, l0O.6l more than
the entire expenses of the state amount
ed to in 1899.
I'm 1899 the state collected from the
corporations in the form of license fees
the sum of SL7ll,3SLGO. In 1905 the
amount collected from that source was
S3, 90. $50 OF. or $lOs, l9O.6l more than
| the entire expenses Of the state amount
ed to in 1899.
In 1899 there was collected from the
counties for all purposes 10y the state
! 81. 100. 1887. In 1905 taxes collected
from the counties 10y the state amount
ed TO the tidy sum of $3.50, llO.S7, or
about $50. 900 less than three millions
of dollars. Is this progress?
Whileit is true that the tax collected
by the state for the support OF the
common schools is returned to the local
authorities TO he apportioned to the
school districts, and while it Is also
true that the common school tax has
more than doubled innine years, this
does not account for the entire in
crease. In 1899 the common school tax
amounted to 500 $50, and in 1908 ii
WAS 81, iSS. 500, or an increase of Si'9,
