now seriously proposed. and may be
crystallized into law at the next regu-
lar session OF Congress-, new and
revolutionary National policy pertain
ing to the public LANDS, and their at
tendant natural resources, that de-
mands the serious and earnest con-
sidsration of every citizen of the Re-
public. Net only does this new sys-
TEN affect our economic and business
interests. but it seriously threatens
the principle of home rule in the con-
duct Of our local affairs.
The real issue is, plainly and dis
tinctly, whether the public domain
other than the little remaining farm.
ing lands-shall be held in perpetuity
by the National government free from
taxation by the states, to be admins
tered through leasehold for revenue
for the federal treasury, and under
bureaus at the National capitol.
AS taxes upon property in the west
ern states for thirty years equal its
value, perpetual ownership by the Ma
tional government free from taxa
tion, would effect deprivation of
tax revenue to the states equal to the
value of those lands every thirty
years. In other words, it would cost
those states the value of the public
domain every thirty years and yet
the states never own the same.
A rental or lease based upon the
output Of natural resources is tax
upon production, and a tax upon pro-
duction is invariably paid by the con-
sumer. Such policy would compel the
western states to bear an undue pro-
portion of the burdens of the Ma
tional government. No other states
have ever been compelled to pay roy
alties upon their natural products,
why should we? Our wealth must
consist, very largely, in those very
features, the tax revenue from which
is so essential to the maintenance OF
state government. Even the raw land
itself is withdrawn from state taxa
ton.
IL our people are to pay tax on
the product of our natural resources.
viz: Coal, oil, gas, phosphates, and
upon water powers, grazing, etc,
equity demands that tax should pass
into the treasures OF the respective
states. where it is so greatly needed.
These are the conditions which con-
front us. 1t rests entirely with the
people Of the West whether they will
acquiesce in this proposed new order
Of things.
The President is our authority
through the medium of his message Of
December 6, 1910, that these are not
questions pertaining to partisan poll
| tics. Hence, those of all political
faiths can unite on common ground
for the defense of the West. This
convention is designed as an instru-
ment through which the will Of tho
people OF the public land states can
be expressed.
With cordial urgency, l respectfully
press this invitation upon those Of
the states which are included in the
foregoing list and apportionment.
Given under my hand and the Ex-
ecutive Seal this 29th day of June,
A. d. 1911.

WHO WANTS A JOB L?

! We understand that a resolution in
conformity with the provisions of a
new state law will be presented at
near-future meeting of the city cOun-
Gil, creating the office of sealer of
weights and measures, Applications
for the appointment of such official
are now in line. Anyone wanting
trouble heaped on his shoulders can
go after the office. In this statement
we do not wish it to be understood
that we insinuate that there is any
thing wrong with the weights and
measures of this city. Not at all.
But anyone holding public position
cannot help making enemies.
At the state fair held in Milwaukee
two weeks ago, was a display of false
scales, short weights and measures
which had been confscated by the
Milwaukee department having that
work in charge. The display was Q
revelation to people, ard shows how
crOOkedneSs is carried on in a large
city. The new law may work some
beneficial results for the consumer
and it may not.

BIG CROP.

The growing season just closing,
when frosts are in order, finds many
gardeners in this section with crops
of ripe tomatoes on their hands
which they cannot dispose OF. In the
growth of this crop the season in this
section has been remarkable, and will
probably not be experienced again in
many years. There were no early
frOStS to nip the plants, and the fall
frOsts have held off remarkably well.
allowing the fruit to ripen on the
vines. The result has been an abund-
ant yield, and glutted market with
starvation prices. Some gardeners in
proximity to the city had several
acres devoted to tomato culture, on
which they will not realize enough to
pay for their work. The fruit is living
decaying on the ground, a dead loss.
The plants bore remarkably we'll this
season, and even owners of small
gardens had more tomatoes than
they could use. Some even found it
difficult to give away their surplus
stock.
Next year the crop may be a failure,
and to guard against this many
housewives have put up a two years
supply of canned tomatoes, catsup
and chilli sauce.

A NUISANCE.

GOpherS, as numerous as autumn
leaves, have taken possession of the
cemetery. They dig holes beneath
tomb stones and allow the same to
tilt, and during the past summer
many relative of deceased person
has found the monument or head
stone on the latter's grave out of
alignment on account of the depre-
datiOns of these rodents. 1t is almost
useless to work against the destruc-
tive effects of the animals until the
point of determination has been
reached. A dealer in tombstones has
been Waging war against them the
past season, and has materially re-
duced their number. His method is
this: Wherever he finds a gopher hole
he pOurS a pail of water into it and
then holds his hand over the mouth
of the hole. The gopher, as soon as
he gets wet, seeks the surface of the
ground, and is not slow in getting
out. AS he emerges from the hole
the man referred to with a quick
grasp catches him around the throat,
/ so that he cannot bite, and then takes
him home and turns him loose in a
room with the family cat, which
makes short work of the animal.
Sometimes the gentleman misses the
gopher as he emerges from the hole,
but second trial usually gets him.
The presumption is that in the
course of time a systematic campaign
will of necessity be waged against
this little spotted rodent.

MERCHANTS KICK.

There will be a meeting of the city
council tonight at which several I'M
portant matters will be taken up
One of these is a protest signed by
merchants of our city against the en-
forcement of section 9 of chapter 10
of the city's ordinances, relating 10
overhanging signs. During the past
few days, the merchants have had
notices served on them to remove
their signs, and a number have COM
piled with the order. Eut some have
invested in electric signs, which are
almost valueless if not hanging over
the sidewalk. The merchants have
prepared a vigorous protest against
the enforcement of the order, and at
the same time recommend that signs
be erected in the future with approval
of the board of public works, and
that awnings be suspended at least
eight feet above the sidewalk.
To most people it appears that the
sign boards are not such nuisance
as the dry goods boxes, display cases,
oyster pals, ETC., which clog the side
walks. Some have wares setting out
on the walk two feet from their build
ing.
In the matter of removal, it seems
to us that there are several other
things which should have precedence,
as for instance the dumping ground
with it's attending odors, and the
privilege given to meat dealers, allow
ing them to slaughter in the city
limits.

POSTS HERE.

Tho posts for the ornamental light
ing system which is to be installed
on Washington and Scott streets have
arrived, after a delay of many weeks.
The posts were manufactured in ST..
Paul, and are of the same general
design as those now on Third street.
A crew Of men was put to work yes
tefdaE, in setting them in place.
Cablo systems of wires have been
laid on both streets, to which the
lamps will be connected. In time,
it is presumed, that conduits will be
laid on both streets, but this work
cannot be taken up at the present
time on account of the expense of
other improvements.
The work of installing these lights
will be pushed with all Vigor and it
is anticipated that they will be in
operation by Nov. Is at the latest.
The lights will extend on Wash
ingtOn street from ST. Paul's church
west to the slough bridge, and en-
Scott street from the post Office west
to the high bridge. These two sys-
tens combined with that of the one
on Third street will make the bust
ness district of Wausau loom up like
white spot on niger. Wausau,
in this respect, will stand head and
shoulders above every other city in
Wisconsin, Superior being its nearest
rival OF course the lights on Wash
ington and Scott streets will not
compare with the payements on those
streets, but it can't be helped.
