Our Plans.

1t is just one year since We took
charge of the Review and from the
many friendly words of encourage
ment We have received We are COM
pelledto believe that We have sue
coeded to some extent in making our
papers better. A gradually growing
subscription list also testiies to that
fact. But We are not satisfied to stop
here. We have plans for the further
Improvement of the newspaper and We
believe We are capable of giving our
subscribers better reading material.
We should have done so before this
but We have been more than busy
learning the elements of the business.
We have studied the situation care
fully. For many years past no in
kensive effort to increase our sub
scription list has been made. We
have accepted the business that came
20 as and let the rest 60 by.
BY careful calculations we have
found that if we can materially in-
crease our subscription list We can
afford to get out better paper and
still come out ahead of where We
stand now. This being the case, 1t Is
up TO W to increase the number of our
rea 5ers and that 10 what We propose
60 do. We shall make % scttve
rampaign from, this date to secure new
subscriptions and 70 that end We have
planned the biggest, most exciting
contest ever carried out in this part
OF the state. We hsve not time
TO 60 out ourselves after new
business 80 70 sre Offering set Of
splendid prizes to the hustlers among
our citizens who will get out and
bring in subscriptions. Our one aim
il to place ourselves in q position to
give Brown County the best weekly
newbpaper In the state. We believe
We can do it if We have the backing of
che citizens of this viclnity-by that,
ve mean their names on our subscrip-
ripn list

Fight for the Judgeshlp

That the west end of this judicial
district is determined, if possible, to
wrest the judgeship from the east
end is quite apparent from what their
newspapers say in behalf of Mathews
candidacy. The Marshall News-Mes.
senger among other things says: "Re-
gardless of politics, religious beliefs
or even personal differences, the peo-
pie of Lyon county have shown by
their vote that Mr. Mathews is the
man for the place, and at the general
election he should receive a solid
vote, at least from this end of the dis
trict."
From the Lyon County Reporter we
clip the following, which speaks for
itself:
"At the general election Mr.. Math.
ews will undoubtedly receive an over
whelming vote in Lyon and Lincoln
counties, as his friends have already
begun the campaign of 'education.' A
fair vote was received in Redwood
county, but not what it should have
been. Redwood voters should at
least, see the justice of our cause in
asking to have the judgeship here,
after travelling so many years to the
east end of the district Naturally
Redwood Falls people find Sleepy Eye
little more convenient to them than
Marshall, though great many other
Redwood County citizens would find
Marshall more convenient to them.
Redwood is naturally next in line for
the judgeship and if the Redwood
county voters see fit, as they should,
to give Mr.. Mathews a majority at
this time, there is no doubt at all but
that they can have the judgeship for
the asking when Mr.. Mathews term
is up. Lyon and Lincoln county stand
as one on this proposition, and if Red
wood sees fit to turn our candidate
down as they did in the primary, they
need look for little assistance here
when they ask for anything"
= 1t behooves our citizens to. get
busy if they want to- retain the judge.
ship for Brown county and vote as
solidly for Judge Olsen as Lyon coun.
ty proposes to do for Mathews.

Railroad Taxes
p Railroad Taxes
alton by the Tax Commission
Shows That RailrOa ds are not
Taxed as high IS other
property

In each of the two biennial reports
which have been issued by the state
tax commission attention is called to
the fact that railroad property in this
state is not taxed as high as other
property. ... ~..-.. ....
The railroads at. the present time,
in lieu of all other taxes, pay into the
state treasury annually per cent of
their gross earnings in this state. I'm
der a wise provision of our constitu-
ton this tax cannot be diminished or
increased without the approval of the
voters of the state.
Having become convinced that the
tax was too low the legislature at it's
last session passed an act submitting
the question of increasing the tax
from 4 per cent to 5 per cent to the
voters of the state to be voted upon
at the election next Tuesday. II
The tax commission believes that
the railroads, like all other taxpayers,
are entitled to fair treatment-no
more and no less, and that these taxes
should not be increased unless the
facts fully warrant it. In order there
fore to make assurance doubly sure
the commission, with the able assist
ance of Prof. E. V. Robinson of the
department of economics of the State
University, has just completed an
other investigation of the whole mat
ter and find as a result that the pro-
posed increase is more than justified
by the facts.
Four per cent of the gross earnings
of railroads in Minnesota in 1911 (the
last year for which complete reports
are at HANDY amounted to $3.50, ,76O.25
The investigation by the tax commits
sion shows that if all roads were as
sessed and taxed the same as Other
property they would be required tc
pay $5,011 ,26712; or $1,34O, O,5O6.S7 more
than 4 per cent of their gross earn
ings. In order to obtain this amoun
on the gross earnings basis it woult
be necessary to raise the rate frop
to SAG per cent. ...-..- "a
The foregoing figures are based up
on the states valuation of the railroad
property with additions to date.
If the valuation allowed by. thu
court in the rate cases, which wa'
considerably higher than the state:
appraisal, should be accepted as cor
rect, the tax assessed against the
roads, on the same basis as othe
property would be $5,43O,964.1S; ant
the rate of gross earnings tax neces
sary to bring that amount into the
state treasury would be 5.92 per cent
! If the valuation which the compan
les have themselves placed upon thei
property, which is still higher, shoult
be taken as the basis of taxation, thu
rate of tax on gross earnings would
greatly exceed any of the above fig
ures.
1t is clearly evident from these fig
ures that the proposed increase from
per cent to 5 per cent is fully JUST
fed.
Under our constitution failur
to vote on the proposition Is the sam'
as Z vote against 1t.

Low Down Tactics Exposed.


P. V. Collins, candidate for the
office OF Governor on the BullmOOse
ticket, has proven conclusively that
be is man of small calibre indeed by
making an attack on F. M. Ringdal,
his. opponent, on account Of Ringdal's
religious views.
From Collins viewpoint, his chances
of success must be practically nil or
he could not have been guilty of the
dastardly act of attempting to inject
religion into politics for that is
exactly what he is trying to- DO to
Judge from letters which he addressed
to pastors of prominent churches in
various parts OF the State, entrestiDg
them TO devote one of their services on
the Sunday before election to de-
nouncing Peter M. Ringdsl. the
Democratic candidate for guberna-
torial honors, - sn ''avowed
atheist" This letter was made pub.
lie BY one of the ministers, addressed
who referred it to Mr.. Ringdsl, ask
ing for IN expression. ~.
This covert attack on Mr.. Ringdal
will certainly act - . boomersr G to
the candidacy OF Collins, because the
American voter will not stand it to
have his politics mixed with religion.
Instead of hurting Mr.. Ringdal with
the citizens of this great common wealth
it will surely create sentiment in his
favor, especially if the people will
carefully read his reply which is at
once candid and full of dignity:
"Answering your inquiry" he
writes the inquiring pastor, II believe
that tree is best known by its fruit.
The kind of religious faith that bears
fruit like the letter in question is not
the kind hold.
'.In general terms, | believe in the
doctrine enunciated in the Sermon on
the Mount and ia the two great COM
mandments, the second ~one of which
directs US to love our neighbors rs
ourselves. AS to whether have been
faithful to this doctrine, my public
| aud private life must answer. 1t is
not for me to say. My relations with
the s upreme Being are u matter too
sacred to be made a subject of parti-
san controversy. Iquestion no man. s
right to worship according to the
dictates of his own conscience. l
claim the same right for myself.
''As to the chaplaincy matter,
have only this to say, that wheD q
minister of the gospel openly solicits
cheap political graft as reward for
shady partisan activity, as was done
by one of the candidates for the
chaplaincy on the occasion in ques-
tion, l have no apology to offer for
trying to wipe out the graft that bears
such fruit.
'sIt is reasonable to assume that il
leg Ultimate material for criticism could
oe found it would not be necessary to
in the circular referred to.
II would respectfully call the
authors attention to the command
ment, "Thou salt not bear false wit.
nesses against thy neighbor.
II believe truly religious people of
every faith will resent such base at
tempts to give partisan advantage
by stirring up the dying embers Of
religious intolerance.
"Finslly, allow me to thank you for
bringing to my attention the whispered
innuendos by which 1t is hoped TO dis
tract tho attention Of the public from
the real question ct issue In the cam.
lpsign-Ihe right Of The people 70 con-
ttrol their own public Affairs"
