WITH the outlook for a bumper crop
in the Northwest, far better this year
than it has been for the past seven
years, an urgent call has been sent out
for harvest hands by the farmers and
land owners of the territory. Figures
supplied by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway show that employment
can be found at once in the Dakotas
and Montana for at least 5000 farm
hands, with the wage ranging from So
to $3.50 per day. The wheat harvest
will be in full swing within the next
ten days and work can be had up until
fall. For the last seven years crop
conditions in the Northwest have been
such that harvest hands could be Sc
cured from that territory, but on ac-
count of the showing of the crops this
year it will be absolutely necessary
that farm hands be shipped there from
the larger cities of the Middle West to
assist in caring for them. The rail
roads are exerting every effort to send
men to the aid of the Northwest farm
erS.

Squandering Money Must Stop.

Secretary of State Frear's recent eff
fort to bolster up Wisconsin's extrava-
giant state expenditures has provoked
several tart rejoiners. Here is one
contained in a Milwaukee letter to the
Manitowoc Herald:
Secretary Frear shows that Wiscon-
sin spends less than California, Michi-
gan and Minnesota. That doesn't prove
much. But California is an expensive
state with few more people than ours
and grew 22.8 per cent in population
during the last decade, while Wisconsin
grew 1878 per cent. Michigan has 500, :
900 more population than we and grew
15.6 per cent. Minnesota has 26O, 900
people less than we, and grew 1876 per
cent"
1t is high time for Wisconsin to stop
competing with other states in reckless
expenditures What is demanded by
the people is competition in wise econ
omy of the public funds.

JUDGE KAREL of Milwaukee, one of
the democratic candidates for the gu
bernatorial nomination, is avowedly for
the rational principle that no law
should stand which is in the nature of
unjust discrimination against Wisconsin
industries and Wisconsin capital. Sim
ply put, this means that he is against
the state income tax which is, and will
continue to be if it is not repealed, a
marked discrimination of that charac-
ter. The senate has concurred in the
house bill extending to firms, copart-
nerships and individuals the law levy
ing an "excise" tax upon corporations,
so here, already, is the federal in
come tax of general application! Why,
on top of it, therefore, should residents
of Wisconsin alone be burdened by an
additional income tax. Judge Karel
believes they should not be. Don't

CANDIDATES for assembly and S

CANDIDATES for assembly and state
senate on the republican ticket should
make plain statement as to their at
titude relative to allegiance to the re-
publican nominees for president and
vice president This is a year of ma
tional election and no man can hon.
estly run under the republican ban
ner and at the same time plan to
support a democrat or any other
party candidate than the ones NOM
mated at the Chicago convention.
Voters should ask the candidates their
attitude on this question before they
pledge them their support. Wisconsin
is republican state despite claims of
the democrats to the contrary and of
political dopsters that it is doubtful
territory, and to continue it so there
must be no mistake in who is sent to
the state legislature, in either the as
sembly or state senate. Any candidate
seeking preferment of the voters under
the republican party name should be
ready to answer the question as to
party loyalty. They should not hest
tate minute.

Farmers and Income Tax.

One N. H. Smith discusses the in
come tax in rather practical sort of
way in a communication to the Bara-
boo Daily News. In Wisconsin, he
says, there are TT, 1877 farms; Isl, 022
are occupied by owners; "a, 654 by ten
ants, and !, 451 by managers. If a re-
port is made from each of all these
farms, allowing So each for time spent
in going to a notary to swear to the
statement which every person must, it
would cost 1854, 254. AS he remarks,
this amount is lost, not even the office
holders get pull at it. The notary
fees at rs cents each would amount to
$44, 281. Is, and stamps to send reports
to the collector would cost So, 542. 81
''These amounts do not include any
taxes just getting ready"
Mr.. Smith adds: ''The income tax
will not make up for one-half of the
Every farmer can add at least 10 per
cent to his last years real estate as
sessment when he gets his tax return
10 per cent each year as long as these
laws stand. 1t is an easy matter to
raise the tax roll on real estate but a
hard job to get it lowered. The tax
roll will not come out till after cleo
ton. If every farmer in the state
would have made out his income report
and paid his taxes before election, the
present administration would not carry
one out of the II counties in the state.
Now, farmers. what are you going to
do about this? Are you going to con-
tinue following the wild, believing
crowd farther and farther into the hills
and woods, as you have the past two
years, and allow them to rob you on
every corner?"

POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCHCOCK'S
report shows that the year 1911 was a
profitable one, even if disastrous one,
to the get-rich-quick schemers who use
the mail service to gain the eye and
ear of suckers. He estimates that the
swindlers got no less than S120, 900, 900
from the people during the year, an in
crease of approximately $50, 900, 900
over the loot of the previous twelve
months. The chief offenders were
those with bogus mines, fake remedies
and worthless lands to sell. The post
office department officials are going
after the swindlers in earnest. For
merly it was the custom TO issue a
fraud order against takers and swim
dlers and to refuse to deliver mail to
them. Then they changed their names
and places of business and went on
until headed off by another fraud order.
The postmaster general issued instruc-
lions to his inspectors to go further
than the fraud order stage and to Sc
cure evidence that would warrant Grim
inal prosecution of swindlers. AS re-
suit of that activity $50 were convicted
last year and ST. cases are awaiting
disposition.

New Process in Sugar Making.

At the beet sugar factory near Mad
ison is being conducted an experiment
of extracting sugar from shredded and
dried cane brought from Cuba. Nearly
100 car loads are now piled up in the
sheds of the sugar company awaiting
treatment. 1t comes in bales, much
like baled hay The pulp and fiber of
the cane stalk have been largely sepa-
rated and there are bales of each. At
ter the sugar has been extracted from
the shredded product the purpose is to
ship the residue to the paper mill and
manufacture it into paper, and here is
where the promoters see new possibili-
ties.
1.-The finest kind of paper can be
made from the residue" said Mr.. Cum
life, land it is possible that this pro-
duct of the cane will be found so much
more valuable that the sugar will be
only a by-product, as it were. Such
paper would be worth S85 ton. There
are other products available. About
eight pounds of wax can be extracted
from each ton, and the pitch can be
used in the manufacture of gun cotton
and smokeless powder or IL can 90 into
the paper and improve that product.
eff the experiment we are about to
try in Madison proves success, our
company will build another big mill and
we will then be in position to dry
about 1900 tons of cane day and be
able to furnish product enough to keep
two factories like that at Madison go
ing all the time. This would prove a
great thing for the factories in that it
would make it possible for them to run
all the year round.
Equipment costing from S25, 900 to
$50, 900 is being added to the sugar
plant of the United Fruit company for
its experiment. The process that will
be used is simple The shredded ma
terial will be blown by fan through
pipes from the shed to the factory.
Here it will fall into long, slanting
trough or conveyer through which wat
er will flow and thus extract the sugar.
The diluted sugar will then be treated
in the usual manner in the factory
This process of sugar manufacture is
expected to prove much more profitable
than the old, which is the one in vogue
in Cuba and the south and by which all
the material after the sugar has been
extracted is burned. By the old meth
cd not only is the valuable fiber de-
stroyed but much sugar which remains
in it. 1t is expected to take month
or more to treat the material now on
hand.

AROUND the world records Tor speed
have been smashed by E. ]. Scott and
J. A. Allan, who set out June A from
Seattle to make circuit of the globe
in thirty days. The trip ended trium-
phantly on Tuesday, July 2, twenty
eight days later, during which steam
ers and railway trains at high speed
were used to assure the record being
lowered by the young globe trotters,
who were laughed at when they first
suggested its feasibility.

SENATOR LAFOLLETTE' advice to his
followers to beware of the bull moose
and his third party movement, which
he asserts means nothing for the cause
he represents, is quite likely to be OBJ
served. The senator reaches logical
conclusion that the hope of the pro-
gressives lies within the party and not
by kicking over the traces. Party reg
ularity is a good thing to stand for
even if he is accused of ''herding his
followers in Taft's back yard. -

A MOST gratifying feature of L. c.
Whittett's candidacy for the state SEN
ate is the offers of support coming to
him in every mail from all over the
district. Voters are waking up to the
necessity of sending men to the legis-
lature who are pledged to curb some of
the extravagances of state affairs. The
taxing facilities of recent administra-
lions are working overtime.

WHAT is most surprising is that any
one connected with the last Legislature,
with it's record for extravaganza, APP

crack at the state treasury or chance
to further increase the burden.

WHY. PEOPLE GO! TO

Those who are wondering why the

year by year increases in the rates

remain with the settler until he gets

stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
