MERE NATTER OF ENO-
LUTON.

John Graham Brooks, profound
student OF social conditions the world
over, delighted large audience OF
Richmond men and women at 500
East Broad street, headquarters Of
the Equal Suffrage League. on Sat-
urday afternoon last
Mr., Brooks is so convinced suf-
fragist that no confesses to something
of impotence when people assaii him
with timeworn arguments for or
against it. lie states that he has
gone beyond the argumentative stage,
and that suffrage. in his mind, is an
evolutionary step in social develop
ment that il crossing the American
continent from West to East.
The Western women, Mr.. Brooks
stated. have won suffrage because
they have been doing politics. Being
eXpositors of the science of good gov
eminent they have been given a
share in 1t. He replied to the criti-
eisms that have been made on con-
ditions in equal suffrage States and
declared that giving the vote to wo-
men has helped to raise social stand
ards and to bring about cleaner, saner
politics. Mr.. Brooks was heard with
great interest and given rising vote

such salary will be little less than
the present salary of the county an

being free from local influences and
not intimately connected or associa-
ted with the persons whose property
he is to assess, will be able to make
fairer and better assessment for
each town and for the county as a.
whole than can be made under the ex-
listing system. Devoting his entire
time to the work OF his office he will
be constantly gathering the facts and
data upon which to base his assess
ment, and will familiarize himself
with the property, real and personal.
OF his county and with the values
thereof. Real estate, farms and city

character of the soil and the nature
of the improvements fairly ascertain

ing accuracy. Tangible personality
can be similarly inventoried and clas-
sitied. With a few years experience
such an assessor, if a man of ordi-
nary intelligence, will become an ex.
pert in valuations, and every taxpay-
er will have the satisfaction Of know
ing that his property as we'll as that
OF his neighbor is assessed according
to its merits, and not as matter of
favoritism or mere guess work.
A before stated, the object of the
proposed bill is not to secure a high
er or lower assessment, but fair and
uniform assessment. The important
thing is that all taxable property be
put upon the tax list; that it all be
measured by the same yardstick and
valued upon the same basis so that
one mans property shall not be over
valued and another's undervalued;
that he who has been paying too much
tax shall pay less, and he who has
been paying too little shall pay his
full share.

Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates.

Walther A. Anderson, of Badger
Roseau county, Republican candidate
for Representative from this legisla-
tive district, is in the city today call
ing upon the voters in the interest of
his candidacy. Mr.. Anderson gives
one the impression of being a very
bright, clean-cut, well educated and
capable as well as, earnest and sin
cere young man, who we'll appreciates
the Importance and responsibilities
of the office he seeks. Though only
&c years of age, he nevertheless pos
sesses an experience both in business
and farming that should make him a
valuable representative in the legisla-
ture. Born in Michigan, he came
with his parents to Montivedeo, Min.
nesota, in tender years, growing to
manhood there. He came to Badger
about six years ago to work in a
bank, burt has since drifted more and
more into farming, pursuit which
he likes and is greatly interested in.
To Sheaf reporter he related his ex.
perience with farm infested with
quack grass and all kinds of foul
weeds. He bought the farm at a
bargain price two years ago, but ow.
ing to the weedy condition of the
farm, neighbors and even he himself
thought he had gotten the worst of
the deal. Then he began to study the
weed problem and take steps to clean
the farm from the quack grass and
other weeds. During the summer
he plowed, disced, and narrowed the
farm, turning over and stirring the
season. In the fall he sowed winter
rye, which next year produced mag
nifcent crop, and there was not a
weed to be seen. The thoro cultiva-
ton given the soil had eradicated
them ALL And the work that Mr.. An
dersOn has done in this line has in
terested the whole neighbOrhOod
Many farmers in the vicinity, seeing
Mr.. Anderson's success, have taken
measures to rid their farms of weeds
and improve them in the same man
ner. Mr. Anderson seeing the fruits
of his own experiment believes in es-
tablishing county demonstration
farms by the state as an aid and in
centive to good farming, and makes
that one Of the main planks in his
platform. We believe this plank is
a good and practical one, and worth
more to farming community like
this, than the high sounding phrases
and glittering generalities on which
some candidates try to boost them
selves into office.

MIR. TAFT AND ECONOMY AND EF.
FlCJENCY

Economy and efficiency what
watchwords they are in the field OF
private business! But how unpopular
they are among politicians!
Mr.. Taft, as a judge, later in his
unique work in the Philippine islands
and Cuba and in the war department,
had an excellent opportunity to be-
come familiar with the business me-
thods of our government.
One of the first steps which he took
as president was to get congress to
sustain him in an effort to do govern
ment business in a more economical
and efficient manner. He got an APP
preparation of 100000 to back up an
economy and efficiency commission.
This commission has formulated
methods by which the expenditures
of the government can be reduced
many millions, and the service at the
same time be greatly improved
Would the work so promisingly be-
gun be carried out, if either the Dem
ocratic or the Progressive parties
should gain control of the govern
ment?
The trouble with te Democrats is
that it is not a party that naturally
attracts business men. Quite a num-
Der Of old-fashioned treasury watch
dogs are Democrats, but whatever
they save usually goes to providing
more pork for the localities where
Democratic congressman live.
Had the Democrats showed an in.
terest in getting more efficient admin.
istration, they might properly have
formulated plans for an improvement
of the government service, and the
voters would have given them credit
for so doing. But economy and eff
cheney are not theatrical enough to
appeal to the Democratic heart.
Mr.. Roosevelt was always free
spender. Under his administration
the expenses of the government in
creased by leaps and bounds If he
We're to be elected again, economy
and efficiency are the last things that
would bother him.
If the people of this country want
the methods that make private bust
ness successful applied to public bust
ness, they should vote for Mr.. Taft
as the only political leader of the
position that is common sense but
not spectacular.

A "REVENUE TARIFF"

The Democratic party in it's plat
form Of 1919 declared fiat footed for a
revenue tariff, which means the aboli-
ton of protective duties. If it's can
didates should be elected, and live up
to the platform, it would be necessary
to remove the tariff from articles pro
duced at home, and put it on such i'm
ports as are not produced in this
country. The latter would yield the
most regular revenue, not being al
.fected by domestic competition. That
would be essentially free trade.
Now it is an established principle
of business that any community needs
diversified industries. Any farming
town where there are hustling and
progressive men will tax itself heayi-
ly in order to get manufacturing in
dustries established there. The es-
Enlistment of protective duty is
just the same thing as what happens
when board OF trade goes around
with subscription paper, and gets
men to take stock ir a new manufac-
turing concern. Only in. case Of the
tariff, the burden is not borne by a
few, but it is divided up among the
entire people. II it pays for town
to attract and retain manufacturing
Industries, it pays for a nation.
Every traveller and economist
knows that much less wages are paid
8 in Europe than in this country
Therefore, there are large number
of industries where goods can be pro-
duced cheaper in England and Ger.
many than they are produced here.
Consequently the; removal Of the tar
if duty simply means that our indus
tries must do one of two things, quit
business. or cut their wages to the
European level.
Either alternative involves a vast
amount of suffering If the factories
hurt by free trade should close UP, the
employees would be completely strand
ed Many of them would be too Old
to learn new trades. Not all of them
could go to farming Many of them
lid become the benefciaries of
rity. public and private.
On the other hand, If the mills thus
affected should reduce wages to the
European level, degree Of suffering
would exist in our mill towns that is
almost inconceivable.
Let the voter reflect carefully on
