Boost Your Home Town,

Location and natural advantages and
have much to do with the
making Of a good town or city, but we
are inclined to believe that the energy
and spirit of it's citizens have as much,
if not more to do with it
Hundreds Of towns have passed to
the commercial "boneyard" just be-
u the people of the place were pen
u%rious, easily discouraged or disgrun-
tied, pessimistic and lacking in en-
thusiasm, public spirit and confidence
in themselves, their neighbors and their
town. Lots. of people are too willing
to sit down, give up and say, "Oh, this
town has no resources, no support, new
er will amount to anything, anyway,
and is sure going to the bow-wows.'
And such men help to send it there.
They make this unworthy belief of
theirs an excuse, to themselves at least,
for declining to participate in any pub
lie enterprise or movement for the bet
tering of conditions.
Enthusiasm and enterprise were new
er wasted; they are contagious. Hun
dreds and thousands Of towns have
been made and built up into trade and
industrial centers of Importance large
ly by the enthusiasm, public spirit and
enterprise of their citizens. Enthu-
siasm, bubbling over, and enterprise
unquenchable, are what is wanted, and
the more any community has of these
cardinal virtues the better off the com
munity will be, the greater it's prosperi-
ty, the more certain and rapid its
growth and the less keenly its periods
of depression. are felt.
There seems to be plenty of "boost-
ing'' going on throughout the Pacific
Northwest, especially in the larger cit
les; some people believe there has been
too much. However this may be, what
is wanted is not the "boomingo or en-
couraging of "wildcatting" but the
"boosting'' that helps along every le-
gitimate and practical enterprise; the
steady and consistent optimism that can
be depended upoon the same in times
of adversely as in times of prosperity.

1t is the people that make a<town or
build a city. Everyone knows of in
stances of towns and cities which seem
to have excellent natural advantages
and opportunities, but which, for some
reason or other, failed to move forward
as they should have done, and we all
know of many towns without any par
ticular natural advantages which have
created advantages and grown into
thriving cities. Fortunte indeed is that
town which has a large body Of public
spirited, enterprising and optimistic
citizens.
SO stand up for your town! Merch-
ants, business men, farmers, get togeth-
er, pull together and work for the ad-
vancement of your home town and
community! Tell the world of the ad-
vantages it offers, for every town has
something behind it, some advantages,
although they may be few. Start enter
prises that will employ people! Devel-
op such surrounding esources as there
may be. Farmers, patronize your home
merchants. They will do as well by
you as any outsider can and the
chances are they will do better. And
merchants, %patronize your local news
papers! Many business men do not
seem to realize what their local news
papers are doing for them and the town
and how much more they could and
would do if they were given proper
support.-Exchange.

The publisher of this paper would
be ungrateful if he did not appreciate
and acknowledge the handsome COM
pliment paid him by the voters of
the 10Th legislative district in elect
ing him by such a splendid majority
to in part represent them in the
Minnesota house Of representatives
especially in view of the fact that I
made no personal canvass. Most of
my time for the past six weeks has
been devoted to securing support for
the one-mi]l road tax amendment,
and now that the amendment has
been adopted I feel amply repaid for
the time and labor expended.
I am unpledged and untrammeled
and am free to act, as my Judgment
dictates, for the best&interests of the
state, and of the 18th district in
particular. R. C. D.

Victor l.. Berger of Milwaukee
was defeated in the Fifth district of
Wisconsin for reelection to congress.
Mr.. Berger bears the distinction of
being the only socialist ever elected
to the national house of representa-
tives. A lone representative of his
party, with opponents on every side,
he had little or no opportunity of Sc
curing the passage of any measure
introduced by him. Victor Berger
had hard row to hoe and should
feel e]ated at being relieved from
further struggles in which defeat
was d foregone conclusion.

should decide that aggressive mug
wump to never again obtrude him
self upon the citizenry Of this great
American republic. Using his own
expression, he is ''beaten to a fraz-

upon the rocks of public opinion and
badly bruised. He is virtually po-
litical outcast. But Roosevelt is a

tunity presents itself, he will come
up again as a candidate for the pres
idency four years hence.

Hon. H. H. Dunn, speaker Of the
Minnesota house of representatives
at the last session, believes the
speaker should be elected by the
people, while the Pioneer Press. ad-
voca ties the appointment of the
speaker by the governor. There is
no good reason why the house mem
bers should not select their own pre-
siding officer. The lieutenant gov
ernor is the presiding officer of the
state senate and in case Of a vacancy
in the governorship he becomes gov
ernor, hence it is meet and proper
that the lieutenant governor should
be chosen by direct vote of the peo-
pie. But the sole duties of the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives is to preside over the delibera-
tions Of that body, and at the termi-
nation of the session his duties cease.
If the governor could appoint the
speaker, through his appointee, he
could, in a measure, control ]egisla.
tion in violation of both the spirit
and the letter of the state constitu-
tion. The day is far distant when
the people of Minnesota will vote tc

- LET THE GOOD WORK PROCEED.
At the last regular session Of the
legislature the first round in the
fight for better roads in Minnesota
was won when. provision was made
for the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment authorizing the
legislature to levy a one-mill state
road and bridge tax. The second
milestone was passed on the fifth of
this month when the voters adopted
the amendment. We assume, as a
matter of course, that the incoming
legislature will provide for the levy
ing of the one-mill tax:
1t has been intimated that there
will be oppositions in the legislature
to the levying Of the one-mill tax.
but we do not anticipate that the
legislature will dare disregard the
mandate of the people as expressed
at the polls on the 5th inst. -.
The one-mill tax law will not be-
come operative before 1914. In 1914
the highway commission will have. a
fund of approximately 81, $50, 900 at
it's disposal 1t is altogether proba-
BILE that legislation will be enacted
at the next session of the legislature
that will add materially to the fund.
There is NO. valid reason why owners
of automobiles should not be re-
quired to pay license fee, based on
the horse power of each machine, in
lieu of all other taxes, the proceeds
thereof to go to the state road and
bridge fund. The imposition of a
reasonable license fee would add sew
eral hundred Thousand dollars to the
road and bridge fund.
Further progressive road legisla-
ton must be enacted. Minnesota's
township road laws are Anticipated.
Road overseers ought to be abolished;
one competent man should have
charge of the road work in each
town, and all road taxes should be
payable in money. Provision must
also be made for the proper mainte-
nance of roads after they have been
improved, and it is just as necessary
to keep roads passable in winter as
in summer. 80 -
The adoption of the one mill tax
amendment, supplemented by: the
necessary legislation, will give an i'm
petus to the cause of good roads in
this state. Intelligent action by the
highway commission togethers with
the cooperation of the townships and
county road authorities will soon
place Minnesota in the van of pro-
gressive good roads states.
