Walter II. Carter, of Superior, re-
Gently visited Oklahoma City, and
gives the following impressions of the
town in letter published in the Super
Tor Telegram:
''The Chamber of Commerce tells me
there are 1000 real estate men here
and don't doubt it. They are a lot OF
boomers and the biggest liars in Amer
lea. The city is misrepresented from
beginning to end. 1t is true they are
building two packing plants here, but |
cannot see where they got the money
to buill this city. The clouds must
have opened up and poured it down.
If they had what Superior has got they
would build city of 100000 in five
years. They simply prey upon the
tourists that come here and cannot
see how they will keep up the pace
after people get wise and quit coming
here to be fleeced. They have had two
crop failures and still do not get any
rain, and as far as the land is concerned
it is not worth much in my estimation.
The Indian allotment lands | came to
see, would not take as gift. They
are nothing but stone and scrub timber.
This country is only fit for get-rich-
quick proposition.

The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association is pushing bill providing
for the publication of list containing
the names of all persons paying person
al property taxes, together with the
amount paid by each. 1t would be in
teresting, and no doubt surprising to
many, to know the comparatively small
amount of personal property taxes
paid by the wealthy business men of
the country. Cases have frequently
come to light in the probate courts of
men whose personal property mounted
up into the millions, yet who had been
paying taxes on only few thousands.
That the personal property tax is a
farce seems to be admitted by all who
have studied the subject, and perhaps
the publication suggested would lead to
such general realization of the fact
that better method of taxation would
be worked out.

PROTECTION OF
EAhg1i I'VE &C


A recent decision of our supreme
court indicates that laws which seek to
protect the rights of the common citi-
zen must be iron clad, double rivetted
and case hardened in order to run the
gauntlet Of the courts. A workman
was employed in saw mill at Bayfield,,
working at table having live rollers
for conveying boards and slabs. Near
where he worked was a bevel gear,
guarded only by short piece of hem
lock board nailed to the edge of the
table. The board was displaced in
some way, the mans clothing caught
in the gear and he was killed. Judg-
ment was obtained against the saw
mill company in circuit court, but on
appeal the judgment was reversed,
John Barnes writing the opinion.
The statute requires that all betting,
gearing, etc., which are $50 located as
to be dangerous to employees in the dis
charge of their duty shall be securely
guarded or fenced" To an ordinary
mind it might seem that bevel gear
at the edge of a table where a man is
working is dangerous, and that hem
lock board which has habit of falling
off does not securely guard such gear,
but not so. The court holds that if or
dinarily careful employers consider a
piece Of machinery isn't dangerous,
then it isn't dangerous, and if an en-
ployee gets into it and is killed the
fault lies with the employee. If piece
of machinery is dangerous, it must be
guarded, but if guarded by such means
as Ordinarily careful" employers use
it is sufficient. If saw mill owners
customarily guard gears with hem
lock board that drops off occasionally,
such gears are securely guarded" &C.
cording to the calls of the statute.
In a vigorous dissenting opinion JUS
tice Timlin takes issue with Justice
Barnes, referring to the latter's rea-
soning as follows: 81 do not remem-
Der to have ever seen an opinion of a
court of the last resort containing so
many erroneous statements of law as
the majority opinion in the instant
case" Justice Timln maintains that
when the legislature used the term
securely guarded it meant guarded
in such way as to protect from dan
ger, and not simply such guarding as
other mill owners may happen to use.

He characterizes the Barnes opinion as
neither good law nor justice nor good
sense" He calls attention to the fact
that the court has many times asserted
that statutes must be taken as they
read, and words not used cannot be in
terpolated by the courts.
Justice Kerwin and Siebecker united
with Justice Timlin in dissenting from
the majority opinion, while Justices
Winslow, Marshall and Dodge united
with Justice Barnes in holding that a
hemlock board with migratory habits is
is a secure guard for gear if mill
owners as class do not use anything
better.

PiNCHOT PRAISES FOREST
PRODUCTS LABORATORY

'The new forest products labora-
tory at the University of Wisconsin is
without question the best piece of APP
paratus controlled by the United
States Forest Service, was the state
ment made by former chief-forester of
the United States, Clifford Pinchot. af-

"The forest products laboratory is
working in exact accord with the spirit

touch with the University Of Wiscon-
sin, " he continued. Twas particularly
impressed not only with the complete
ness of the equipment, but equally
with the spirit of the workers and the
thoroughly practical character of the
work.
For years the branch of forest
products has been trying to get down
to fundamental questions. Now it has
that chance and is using it. The facts
in chemistry and physics, which under
lie the processes of air-seasoning and
kiln-drying of wood, the facts in wood
structure which determine the pene-
tration and retention Of wood preserva-
tives. the adaptability of wood fibres
of various species for paper and pulp,
and the strength of timbers under con-
tinuous loads, under blows, under
twisting and direct thrust, these and
many other questions are receiving the
kind of attention that means the solu-
ton Of problems.

business are following the results OF
the laboratory with great eagerness.
Thus the railroads, the lumber manu-
facturers' associations and the timber
merchants are all in constant touch

In all lines of life great deal, a
very great deal, depends on the point
of view. Last spring the Democrats
in the House of Representatives were
in an apparently hopeless minority,
with every prospect indicating that
they would remain in that condition
indefinitely. A dispute arose over a
point of order, Speaker Cannon having
arbitrarily refused to recognize Norris,
an Insurgent. On an appeal to the
house, the Democrats voted with the
Insurgents, and overruled the speak
er. Last week similar condition
arose, Cannon having refused to enter
tain resolution to amend the rules.
An appeal was taken from the ruling,
and majority of the Democrats voted
to sustain Cannon's ruling. Apparent
w the fact that the Democrats will
control the House after March 4th next
altered their view of the policy of
allowing the speaker arbitrary power
to prevent the consideration of motions
or resolutions to which he objects.
The natural conclusion is that the
Democrats as party are not Progress
i've, and that their action in support
ting Progressive measures at the pre-
vious session was for the purpose of
securing party advantage. Hope of
true reform legislation lies with the
real Progressive Republicans, that is to
say, the Insurgents.

EDITOR NEWS BUDGET: This is
good town. There are some improve
ments that ought to be made, but, on
the whole, things look hopeful. We
think good many improvements that
have been made should be held on to.
We have heard some people talking
about the expense of our schools, as if
there should be cut in the cost.
Now when the board of public works
does not let contracts to lowest bidders
and when they allow pay to men for
experimenting public work who are at
the same time drawing pay from the
contractors, we admit that there may
be some chances to save public money
But the talk we have heard does not
run along the lines suggested here.
The observer of things on the sur
face only will see the cost of equip
ment and teachers salaries. He
doesn't look deep enough to see what
goes to committees of boards of public
works. Now, the superb ial observer
sees some manual training and domes-
tic science in the schools and thinks it
must cost great deal; and since we
used to get along without them, we can
again. Bless you, the higher schools
used to get along without much OF
anything except Latin and Greek, but
we have found that other branches are
better than those. No branches are
so beneficial to the working man
as those above named as recently in.
troduced and we think the working
men are in the majority here. We
have heard that state aid is given fol
manual training equal to half the cost
of maintaining it, so that brings little
cost upon the tax payer for the best
thing in the school for US.

The lid which the federal govern
ment had clapped on several northern
Minnesota towns has been lifted. 1t
will be recalled that the saloons in that
section were closed under the provis-
ions of old treaties with the Indians
which prohibited the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in territory ceded by the
Indians, the prohibition being intended
for the protection of the. noble red
man from the white mans red liquor.
For many years the treaty provisions
were disregarded, in fact almost for
gotten, but since the country has be-
gun settling up, saloons have become
numerous, and with characteristic law
lessness have freely sold booze to the
remaining Indians. This illicit sale be-
came so general that the federal auth
critics concluded that the only prac-
teal remedy was to close all the sa-
looms. The saloons appealed to the
state rights doctrine, claiming that
Uncle Sam had nothing to say regard
ing the sale'of booze, it being not only
natural right and a social duty, but
being protected by the statutes of the
state of Minnesota Uncle Sans off,
cials could not be made to see the
point, but Minnesota judge was found
who was willing to make history, and
perhaps something else on the side, by
issuing an injunction restraining the
federal officials from enforcing the
treaty provisions. This injunction sets

The legislative committee of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton is preparing suitable bill pro.
viding for care in the counties of ad.
vanced cases of consumption. At pres
ent the state provides for early cases
in the state sanatorium at Wales.
There is no provision for advanced
cases, although from the standpoint of
the we'll individual, who wants to be
protected from infection, the care OF
the advanced case is of infinitely great
er Importance. A single advanced case
may spread the disease to more per-
sons than whole army of early or in
cipieDt cases.
The need for the care of advanced
cases makes it necessary to provide
numerous institutions where the pa
tient may be near friends and need not
undergo long, fatiguing journey to
receive care Aside from thus prevent
ing the spread of the disease, many
apparently hopeless patients are known
to recover when under present unfavor-
able conditions. The county institu-
ton would in many instances prove
eligible to later residence at the sana-
forum that the state has established
at Wales for the cure of the disease
With more adequate provision and
proper regulation, much larger pro-
portion of recoveries Of unfavorable
cases would be the rule
