John X. Tene

d. q
John K. Tener, governor of Penn
sylvania, was born in County Tyrone,
Ireland, July rs, 1868. At the age
OF nine he accompanied his parents
to America. The family located in
Pittsburgh and in the public schools
OF that city the future governor re-
;ceived his education. After leayinx q
school he became a clerk for a mer-
camille firm and continued in that
capacity for four or five years. His
business career was Interrupted in,
1886 by his acceptance of an engage
ment to play professional baseball!
In his new vocation Mr.. Tener proved
eminently successful and for several
years he was one of the prominent
players with the Chicago and other
clubs in the National league. When
his baseball career was over he To-
Gated in Charleroi, Pa, where he in
vested his savings in mercantile bus
mess. He met with marked success
from a financial viewpoint and soon
was interested in banks, street rail-
ways and other large enterprises. In
1909 he was elected to Congress from
the Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania dis
trict and last year he was elected
governor on the Republican ticket. :

The Single Tax In Canada. :

Many Bemidji business men are in
favor of the single tax-which' is a
tax on land only. How it works out
in Canada may be of interest.
John Perrie, deputy minister of the
municipal affairs and tax commits
sioner of Alberta, says: -. -.
'The only tax levied in the rural
districts Of this province are those
levied on lands. No taxes are levied
on improvements or personal proper
ty. This method of assessment is a
fair one and is satisfactory to far
mers. In fact, any change to the sys-
TEN of taxation whereby improve,
ments or personal property are as
sessed would be strongly opposed by
them. We have found no demand for
the tax system being changed SO that
taxes would be levied on improve
ments and personal property"
Edmonton, the most northerly city
Of the 5O,0O0-class on the American
continent, is not only successful with
the single tax system, but has also
worked out satisfactory plan Of
municipal-owned public utilities,
operating street railways and teel-
phone lines, water works and electric
light. and power plants. The munich
pality has plans to install gas plant
costing 100000, and also has experts
at work making test bores in the vi
cinity of Edmonton for natural gas.

The Disgrace of the Streets.

For a city the size OF Bem1djl to
have the dirty and dusty streets that
have been the rule so far this sum.
mer is disgraceful. Not only is it &
disgrace, but dust composed princi-
pally of dried manure is not the most
healthful thing in the world to
breathe.
The city pays Yves Wright $S4.50
per month for sprinkling and $2449
per month for sweeping, a total of
$10S.99 per month. According TO
George Stein, city clerk, the 'sprink-
ling is to be done when the streets
need it and they are to be swept
whenever dirty. To date, this has
not been the case.
Last night the streets were sprink-
led and swept and it was the first
cleaning they had had since last
week. The accumulations of four
days were standing on the streets
yesterday afternoon and in some Dlac-
es were three inches deep, effectually
blocking the sewers. With the strong
wind which blew from the west on
Wednesday, dust and filthy dirt swept
down the streets and into the banks,
stores, saloons, ice cream parlors. ho.
tells and homes. No building was ex
empt.
The street sprinkler has been
standing on the corner of Fifth and
Minnesota for some time when it
should have been used to keep the
streets cooled and lay whatever dust
blows up during the day. The sweep
er has been working twice week or
less when it should have been work
Ing every night during the hot wealth.
er. The city furnishes these instru-
ments and the contractor is paid for
labor only. =
Yves. Wright is not entirely to
blame. A good share of it rests on
the city council especially on those
members who last fall engineered the
deal to load an Anticipated sweeper
and sprinkler on city as progressive
as Bemidji. They invested over 5000
when a double Investment would
have bought compressed air f1usher
that would not only sprinkle the.
streets but would flush the dirt into
the storm sewers at the same time.
The saving in cost of operation in two
years would have paid for the differ
ence in the price aud the city would
nave been ahead better service.
Eventually the city must come to the
fiusher system just as others have so
that the present obsolete method of
cleaning is pure waste of expense
and effort.
The disgrace of the streets is but
another example Of the inefficiency
of public service which comes when
affairs of city are looked after by a
cosmopolitan body of men with no
individual responsibility. What Be-
midi needs is a form of government
where the responsibility is conferred
in three or five men, Then if a con-
dition, such as the present street
scandal, arises, some one man can be
held responsible.
No man would take contract
from the city if he did not expect to
profit by it. Yves Wright is only
human in that. respect. But the
council should see to it that the city
does not continue to suffer as it has.
Of what use are nicely paved streets
if they are allowed to become filthy
with dust and dirt of the flthiest
kind? -.
