AIKEN possession OF southern planta-

seven miles away and he was bothered
about getting it to the plantation.
Why don't yon carry your wagon up
and tote the things down." a sympa-

At the last regular session of the
legislature an effort was made by
members from southern Minnesota.
where land is high priced, to cut
down the width of roads to two rods,
and it was only after hard fight in
the house committee on roads that
the bill was killed. The writer. who
was a member of that committee,
made use of the same arguments that
the Buffalo Journal now advances,
that in this age of automobiles roads
should be made wider instead of mar
rover. A four-rod road is none too
wide for an automobile and skit-
fish team to pass on.

Whenever the securities of other
states in which the permanent school
fund of Minnesota is invested can be
disposed of at par and accrued inter-
est the Union is in favor of selling
the same and investing the proceeds
in the securities of our home munic-
qualities. Much ado is made over
the Virginia bonds held in our
permanent school fund. Those bonds
have been to par and will go to par
again, Some unthinkingIpeop and
some 'thinkins people for selfish, rea5
sons, are clamoring for the ;immedi-
ate sale Of THOSE bonds at any price
and the Investment of the proceeds
in. Minnesota ditch bonds, etc.
We wish to Call the attention of
these individuals to this provision
in section two, article eight of the
state constitutions "The principal
of all funds arising from sales or
other disposition Of lands or other
property, granted or entrusted to this
state in each township for educa-
tional purposes: shall forever be pre-
served inviolate and undiminished.'
Ii the Virginia bonds, or any other
bonds in which the permanent school
fund of the state is invested, were
sold for: less than the cost price of
the same would it not be a palpable
violation of the wise provision of
the constitution above quoted?

Many counties are protesting
vigorously against the increase
of real estate valuations made by the
state tax commission. If the in
crease is uniform throughout the
state, and we believe it is, there is
no ground for complaint. All local
taxes are required to be levied in
specific amounts, save the one-mil]
county school tax, and that is re-
turned to the districts from which it
is collected, hence an increase in the
valuation will not increase local
taxes. There will be slight in
crease in state taxes, as state taxes
are levied at a fixed and uniform
rate throughout the state. The
state tax commission is simply aim
ing to equalize the real estate asess-
ments throughout the state and no
injustice has been done any county.
The state tax commission takes the
place of the state board of equaliza-
tion, and it is the duty of the tax
commission to equalize the assess
ments of counties.

odist ministers, Bishop Mcdowell
instructed the divines not to yield to

not to permit others to tell them in

use force to prevent it. If this order
