For many years the legislative dele
CATION from this dstricrt has labored
hard to get some relief for farmers
living along the Mustinka River in
Traverse county. AS a result of
dumping the waters from state ditch
into this river the stream has in wet
years overlooked its banks and done
much damage to land and crops. Two
years ago, bill was passed to pro-
vide for a proper outlet for the state
ditch above referred to but was vetoed
by Governor Johnson. This year the
bill became a law but is now threat
ened with an adverse ruling from the
attorney general on the ground that
is of the "pork barrel variety-a
prohibited "internal improvement. y
We are unable to see why the action
of the legislature should not be taken
as final. The state built the ditch
which has been the cause of the DAM
age and it's right as well as its duty
to apply the proper remedy follows
as naturally as any proposition in law
or logic.
But perhaps the farmers of Traverse
county have been using the wrong
method. Probably better method
would be to have some power COM
pany located on the Mustinka and
then get Uncle Sam to spend few
millions in building reservoirs on the
upper reaches of the river "for the
benefit of navigation.

There may be in a given community
loose enforcement of the law, and
yet majority of the citizens may
believe individually that the law
should be enforced. But no public
opinion for law enforcement will grow
up until each citizen shares his views
with his neighbor and permits his
opinions to become common property.
A necessary step in the formation Of
progressive public opinion is that each
citizen shall have the courage to stand
up and be counted for progress.
When public opinion favors law
enforcement the law officials are
guided by this opinion, evidence is
difficult to procure and juries refuse
to convict. Nothing good in this
world can be obtained without paying
the price. The price which is demand
ed of the progressive citizen is that
he shall forego captious criticism of
public officials, and make his own
position Enthusiastically clear, and be
willing to do his duties as citizen
even to the extent of identifying him
self with a criminal prosecution if
necessary.

For half a century, Minnesota has
tried the farce of taxing money and
credits as personal property, and the
result has been that these forms of
property have for the most part es-
capped taxation by being concealed
from the assessor. This concealing
has been tolerated because of the
general opinion that it would be unjust
to tax credits anywhere from SO to
100 per cent of the income derived
from them. as would be the case
where interest income ranges from
two to eight per cent while tax rates
range from two to four per cent. Yet
it is not to be denied that money and
credits are form of property which
should contribute to the support of
government by the payment of some
taxes, and that that contribution
should not in turn be loaded off onto
the debtor. In order to accomplish
this, the last legislature. on the re-
commentator of the tax commission,
passed law to tax credits at a flat
rate of three-tenths Of one per cent,
and the experiment will be watched
with interest. This tax is so small
that it should not be passed along to
the debtor, and on the other hand, if
all credits are listed it is large enough
to yield considerable revenue. A
letter on the new plan from the tax
commission is printed in another col
umn.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1911-05-12

of his money and credits.
"We earnestly urge that you make
a careful study of the law so that
you can explain its purpose and provl-
sions to inquiring taxpayers; and more
especially. so that you can properly
enforce it.
"Money' as defined in the law
means money owned by the party max
ing the list, whether in his possession
or on deposit, or wherever it may be;
and "credits" covers all book accounts.
bills receivable, promissory notes,
bonds, anunities, and all other claims
and demands for money, notes and
bonds owned by incorporated banks in
this state, or notes and bonds secured
by real estate mortgages recorded in
this state on which the registry tax
has been paid; nor does it cover NUM-
cipal bonds issued since April 18th of
the present year.
"The assessment should be made at
the fair cash value of the property and
not at percentage of such value.
"Under the law, debts owing by the
party making the list cannot be deduct
ed from the money and credits owned
by him.
"You should not only see to it that
every taxpayer receives listing blank.
but you should also see to it that
every taxpayer makes full return of
all his money and credits as required
by the law.
'Ihe tax commission hopes that the
law may prove an unqualified success,
but we realize that the success of any
law requiring an assessment depends
almost entirely upon the assessors.
If you give the matter the attention
that it deserves and insist upon full
compliance with its terms by every
taxpayer, we have no doubt that the
outcome will be satisfactory in every
way. If, on the other hand, it is
simply enforced in haphazard and
listless way it will probably prove as
dismal failure as the old law.
1.-THE law was passed by the leg
islature in good faith to relieve in
tolerable conditions and is entitled to
a fair trial, and we sincerely hope
that you will put your shoulder to the
wheel and help make it success.
Realizing that the assessors job,
if conscientiously performed, is not
an easy one, and assuring you of our
desire to help in every possible way,
we are,
Very truly yours,
Minnesota Tax Commission.

FRIDAY, MAY IL, 1911.

President Taft is said to be consid-
ering favorably the invitation to make
his summer home at Lake Minnetonka.
IT would increase the usefulness of
any president to spend part of the
year in the West, and Minnesota
would be fine place for a summer
home. Let US hope the NATTER will
prove something more than a passing
fancy.

Every community gets about what it
is entitled to receive in the way of
loyalty from it's citizens and service
from its officials. Public opinion is
the compelling force which prescribes
action or inactivity, progress or con-
v .rsatism. strict or loose law enforce
ment. Public opinions in a commun-
ity; it must also be common opinion.
"A large majority of the individuals
of a community may be in favor of
progress and yet progressive public
opinion in a community will not OBJ
tain until there is a common express
sion of those individual opinions.

AMONG THE ADS.
Every Business Should Be Re-
presented.

No business man in any town should
allow a newspaper published in his
town to 60 without his name and bust
ness being mentioned somewhere in
it's columns, SAYS an exchange.
This applies to all kinds of business
general stores, dry goods. grocers.
furniture dealers, manufacturing
establishments. automobile dealers,
mechanics, professional men, and in
fact all classes of business men. This
does not mean that you should have
a whole or half or even quarter
of page ad in every issue of the
paper. but your name and business
should be mentioned if you do not use
more than a two-line space. A
stranger picking up a newspaper
should be able to tell just what BUSH
ness is represented in town by look
ing at the business mentions in the
paper. This is the best possible town
advertiser. The man who does not
advertise his business does an injustice
to himself and his town.
The man who insists on sharing the
business that comes to town but re-
fuses to advertise his business is not
valuable addition to any town. The
life of any town depends upon the
live, wide-awake and liberal adver-
Using business man.
The purpose of store advertising is
not merely to sell goods, but to sell
more goods. to make friends. build up
patronage that will not only stick
but grow.
The local paper reaches the greatest
number of people in the immediate
vicinity in the most natural way, at
the least expense, and they are there
fore the best of all mediums for
stores. In newspaper you follow
the lines of least resistance, you fol-
low with the stream, you talk with
an audience already assembled. The
people want to read. their mental
cosmos is right, they are on your
wire, and they won't ring off if you
hold their interest. Attraction is the
basis of the all advertising the store
is the sun, the customers the planets
that revolve around it.
If you would be successful in a
business way ou- advice would be to
use printers ink literally and keep
everlastingly at the advertising game.

Combinations of Black
And White Popular

Chief among fashionable colors for
all hours of the day possibly stands
black an white in combination. In
heavy tweeds, in serges, cloths, velvets,
filmy chiffons, cotton marquisettes. and
voiles this black and white alliance is
noticeable.
Frequently the neutral color effect
of black and white Is relieved by a
touch of cerise or emreald green.
Blue is possibly the shade tEat heads
the colors for spring.
Yllows, that vary from the faint prim-
rose tints through all the shades of
chamois, fiex, deep gold, into the to-
bacco and nut brown colors, have been
emphasized by Paris makers.
Grays, either with the blue Or the tan
cast, are naturally given high place in
the color scale.
The purples are altered by editions
of red and gray.
Greens come next. There is the en-
pire green, that is a natural outcome of
empire styles.
Reds, from dark burgundy to bright
scarlet, will be used much in millinery.

Simplicity Is Keynote
In Summer Lingerie

Simplicity is the keynote of the new
designs in summer lingerie. For those
who still retain their liking for the
French embroidered chemise there are
new garments cut like a mans shirt,
with an opening on either side. finished
with a gusset TO allow free movement
and at the same time to do away with
all unnecessary fullness at the hips.
Many of the new corset covers and COM
bination garments open at the left side
to do away with the fastening down
the middle of the front. which shows
throgh the blouses and spoils the at
tractive appearance of the whole.
The west and daintiest of the night
gowns now being shown are made with
the empire effect and peasant sleeve,
some quite plain and others opening
from the shoulder to the bottom and
tied together with bows Of ribbon. Still
other models are those cut in two pieces
with a seam only at the side of the
shoulder, which is held together with
fagoting. In cutting and making new
summer lingerie at home it is wise TO
remember that there is no extra fullness
at any place. and the majority Of this
years corset covers are cut 10 fit the
figure and boned to accenuate the slen-
derness.
