New Development League Being Or
ganized

As a result of the work of the
Northwestern Development league, a
seven state proposition, many section
al development leagues are being or
ganized which are doing. effective
work in connection with the parent
organization.
North Dakota has been the scene
of the most effective activity in the
last two weeks. The business men
and representatives of commercial
clubs in the Red river valley met at
Grand Forks and completed an or
ganization for that valley. Just a
few days later north central North
Dakota counties called a meeting at
Devils Lake and organized the Lake
Region Development association.
Thus ten counties are bound together
in this. organization and one Of the
first things which the league will do
Is to make an exhibit at the North
western Land Products show. to be
held in st. Paul, December 18th to
Gard.
This league has raised $1,000 for
their work and invested 1000 in
space in the heart Of the big land
show. The Red river valley organi-
zation is also contemplating an ex-
hibit.

iliarity with the region In which he
seeks employment, including its geog

conditions, is usually demanded, al
though lack of this may be supplied
by experience in similar regions.
THE examination of applicants is
on the practical lines indicated above,
and actual demonstration, by perfor-
nance, is required. Invalids seeking
light out-of-door employment need
not apply. Experience, mot book edu-

make simple maps and write intelli-
gent reports upon ordinary forest
business is essential.

THE PAPER TOWEL SHOULD BE
USED IN ALL PUBLIC
PLACES
(Statesman)

Some time ago the state board of
health, in it's crusade against the pub
lie drinking cup, abolished that dis
ease-canrier from railroad trains In
Idaho. The boards of about 80 other
states have done the same thing. The
movement had the earnest support Of
the people after little educational
propaganda had been carried on by
the authorities.
Now it developes that one of the
big railroad companies, after long
and costly trial, has stopped giving
passengers the free use Of linen
towels. This was not the result of
sanitary precautions. The loss of
$21, 900 worth of linen year by
thefts precipitated the order for dis
continuance of this service. 1t is q
good thing that economy has had this
effect.
Really. there's no reason why a
railroad should pay such huge bills
for towel-linen each year. But there
is one thing that the railroad can do,
and do cheaply and easily, with great
saving In time, expense and trouble.
And the same thing applies to every
institution in which the public uses
towels.
One of the most sensible devices
for public places that invention has
given to us In recent years Is the
paper towel. 1t settles many prob
lens of health and cleanliness. The
paper towel is clean, germ-proof, and
therefore safe for everyone. 1t comes
in sections Of certain convenient
length and may be torn of at will.
Thus the plan furnishes the individ-
ual towel that everyone desires. The
state should require 1t by law, as is
the case in California and some other
states. The paper towel should come
into general use in all public places.
Compared to 1t in amy way, the COM
munity towel is simply relic of bar
barism, without single defense.
But outside of all other arguments,
there is one thing that more than any
other commands the adoption of this
modern system. The public health
statistics of the United States, cover
ing a period of the last Ave years
alone, show that the 'old-fashioned
cloth towel ranks as the fourth worst
disease incubator. This fact, by 1t
self, is enough to force the passage
OF a public paper towel law in Idaho.
Until such law can be passed, how
ever. 1t Is up to railroads, hotels,
school boards and persons in control
of all other public places where
towels are used, to see to 1t that
the cloth towel is abolished. Then
the paper towel will naturally replace
It - q clean, bacteria-prcof. cheap,
handy substitute. ts" ~

The Auto Fever

The marvellous growth Of the auto
mobile business in recent years is re-
flected in the increase of exports as
compiled by the department Of COM
merce and labor. Automobiles and
parts thereof exported from the Uni
ted States during 1911 will aggregate
approximately 20 million dollars in
value. For the seven months of the
year for which statistics are avail
able, over nine million dollars worth
of automobiles were exported, two
millions dollars worth of parts there
of other than tires, and one and a
half million dollars worth of tires.
making the aggregate for the seven
months, twelve and half million
dollars. Should the exports continue
at the same rate during the remain
ing five months of the year, the total
would cross the 20 million million
dollar line. Even this does not in
clude the automobiles sent to Porto
Rica, Hawaii and Alaska, which with
the parts thereof aggregated over
one and a half million dollars value
| du ing the last fiscal year.
The increase in the expectation of
this article of American manufacture
has been almost as rapid as the
growth in their use in the United
States. Even this increase in value
does not fully represent the increase
/ in the number of machines exported,
since the export price has fallen in
that time. The average export price
of automobiles exported in 1903 was
in round terms, $4,000; In 1909,
$500; in 1910, a little over $1,000;
and in the seven months Of the year
1911, for which figures are now
available, little over $1,000 each,
the export price having thus fallen
practically one-half ince 1908; these
figures of average export prices being
obtained by dividing the stated num-
Der of automobiles exported into the
stated value thereof for each Of the
years in question.

WHEN Poll TAX DUE.
Gen. Mcdowell Makes Clear a Misunder.
stood Point.

Jackson.-A rather fine and much mis-
understood point in regard to poll tax
and when it is due to be paid in order
to qualify, by men who are just turning
the threshold of full citizenship by at
tainment of their majority, is cleared
up by the following opinion sent out by
Assistant Attorney General Mcdowell:
"Mr. j. H.. Brickel, Election Commits.
%siOner, Columbus, Miss.
Dear Sir-I have your inquiry as fol
lows:
els a person who has arrived at the
age OF twenty-one (21) years at any
time since the first day of February,
1910, and before the first day of Feb
ruary, 1911, liable for a poll tax for
the year of 1907 And will he have to
pay a poll tax for the said year 1910?
Thanking you in advance for the
opinion, 1 beg to remain
"Reply-Poll tax, like any other tax,
il assessable as of February 1. There
fore, if one became twenty-one years of
age after February 1, 1910, he is not
liable for a poll tax for that year, and
consequently is not delinquent if he fails
to pay poll tax for 1910 on or before
February 1, 1911.
"f a party becomes twenty-one years
of age before February 1, 1910, he would
have owed poll tax for that year whether
assessed or not, but he does not owe
such tax if he arrives at his majority
after February 1.
Likewise, if one becomes sixty years
of age before February 1, 1910, he is not
liable for a poll tax for that year and
failure to pay same does not make him
delinquent"

PROFIT FROM CONVICT FARMS.
Greatest Gain in History of Operation.
Profits Exactly $51e, 159. "a.

ASAoSSAy $~ASSAvO'sE t
Jackson.-A profit of $519,159.74 was
gained by the state in the operation OF
convict farms during the period from
October, 1909, to June, 1911, according
to the report of the board of trustees
filed recently. The gain of the twenty.
one months is the greatest in the his.
tory of the convict farm system in Mis-
sissippi. The gain at Camp No. 9, on
Sunflower farm, was $54,5O9. SO, and at
Camp No. Z the profit amounted to
$42, 17O.33. =
The report shows that the farms are
in better condition than at any previous
time. The population of the various
camps and farms on June 80, 1911, was
1,s43, of which number 1888 were on
Sunflower farm, 1872 on Rankin, 143 at
Oakley, 1875 within the Oakley walls, 40
women and S insane inmates in the hos
pital. The increase over the previous
year was els.
The increase in the population in
CURED an extra heavy expense on the
board, which was met by drawing $24,-
900 from the emergency fund for the
purchase of additional land, erection of
a home for the superintendent, and a
chapel for the whites at Rankin. The
board bought 1922 acres from the Allen
tract for $32.50 an acre, 800 acres from
]. w. Cutrer at $22.50 an acre, and
1883 acres from Hicks Bros. The add.
tional land is all under cultivation.
The report states that the inmates
on the various farms are treated hui
namely, and that the general health of
the inmates of the various camps is
good. The death ratio was 2 1-2 per
cent. The inmates are we'll fed, accord
ing to the report, and the clothing
supply in summer and winter is good.
Each convict has a bed to himself, and
have shower baths, which they are COM
PEELED to take. The general sanitary
conditions of the camps was found to
be very good.
The board calls attention to the won
derful success attained IN the raising
of stock on Che farms. The boarfd ALI
thorized the purchase of forty brood
mares for Rankin and Oakley, and sent
a fine blooded jack to each farm. The
hog industry on the farms has in
creased, 2,36a having been raised. A
herd of fine blooded cattle numbering
997 has been raised on Rankin and
Oakley. The experiments in wheat and
tobacco culture made by Superintendent
Gatchings were successful. The wheat
was damaged to a great extent, but
the yield of tobacco was doubled.
The receipts from June 80, 1910, to
June 80, 1911, amounted to $~552,291.32,
and the expenditures for the same Pc
Rod were ~s27s,264.1o. The cash profits
from October 1, 1909, to June 80, 1910,
