The object and purpose OF the
above affidavit is to repudiate. and
put down a false impression and re-
port being circulated that the 9TH
ward election returns we've held back
In the interest Of Mr.. Warren Thorn
as, candidate for Assessor. One
cause of the delay was when they
opened the State box there was not
any tally sheets in the box, and they
had to telephone to Covington for
instructions. After being advised to
provide them, it took them consid-
cradle time to get suitable paper.
They are all farmers and their in
tegrity and honesty is above re-
proach. Most of the commissioners
and clerks were serving their first
time as such. These facts alone
should eliminate the idea OF any
crookedness or wrong doing.
The commissioner, Mr.. Williams,

SCORE THE new WOMAN

Moorhead, Mimi, May 28.-One of
the greatest responsibilities of the
youth of today is to aid in making
the faults of the new woman" less
apparent. according to Margaret ].
Evans, dean of women at Carleton
college, who delivered the bacca-
laureate address to the graduating
class of the Moorhead state normal
school and Moorhead high school
Sunday night.
"'Jeunesse oblige,' or the respon-
sibility of youth, consists of making
the public school of tomorrow what
it should be, making the home of
tomorrow, the ideal one it must be,
and developing the new woman,
said Miss Evans, in summing up her
address "The new woman bears
the brunt of good deal of raillery
and there is reason for it. She does
too much memory work in gaining
her training and her reasoning is not
developed She has an over supply
of emotion, fondness for religious
fads and practically no economic
sense. Tests have shown that nine
out of ten women don't think $780,
600 is too much to spend on a we'd
ding" 80
This baccalaureate sevice was the
first one ever preached by woman
in the history of Minnesota educa-
ton.

UP to comparatively recent
period taxes were regarded by most
people as necessary evil. The
old proverb that nothing is GER
tain but taxes and death" express
ed the public view. This attitude of
the public mind was in part at least
an inheritance from the days when
taxes were a tribute laid by rulers
on their subjects. Little attention was
given to the manner in which such
taxes were levied, or the rules gov
erning equality of contribution. Often
the people received but little in re-
turn for their money, and of course.
tried to pay just as little as pos
sible
Today, however, taxes are levied
and collected for public purposes
and not for private again. They
are not now regarded as tribute,
but as reasonable and just con-
tribution from those enjoying the
benefits and protection of organized
society, called government, to enable
it to do certain things for the we'll
fare of all the people that if left for
each citizen to do for himself would
be more expensive and less effective;
While the tax dodger" is still
with us the average citizen is now
willing to pay his just proportion of
the cost of government, feeling that
the money SO paid is, generally
speaking, wisely and judiciously spent
in promoting the public welfare. He
realizes the value and Importance
of good schools, of good roads, OF
fire protection, of health and santa
ton, courts and public officers for
the administration and enforcement
of law and order, and Of the many
other things now required of govern
ment by enlightened and progress
sive nations.
/ In the report of the tax COM
mission for 1910 there is a very
interesting study of the cost of gov
eminent made by Prof. Hess, then
of the State University. Taking the
expenditures under appropriate
heads and the. population, he derives
from them the per capita cost OF the
administration of the state and its
minor divisions. He found that 1T
cost $20.92 for each man. woman

TRACTOR ON A BIC FARM

/, CrOokstOn, Mimi, May 2S.-The
figure the tractor is playing in the
development of the Red river valley
this year can hardly be comprehend
ed by those who are not on the
ground, and many here do not real
ize the vastly increased acreage Civ
en- to crops this year is directly due
to the big tractors which are plow-
ing vast areas in almost every part
of the valley.
Senator S.. ID. Works of Mankato
bought tract of several thousands
of acres enar Beltrami, and after
fencing in a large tract, upon which
they have placed 500 head of young
stock, prepared to crop much of the
land. They purchased big tractor
and a ten bottom steel plow, which
alone weighs several tons, each pillow
being sixteen inches wide. This pillow
they have run night and day, and
the one engine has plowed 600 acres
to date, all of which will, be seeded
to fax, most of it being already in
the ground. Part of this was brush
land, which could not have been
plowed with an ordinary pillow.
Next fall the blowing will prac-
tically all be done in three weeks
after the threshing season starts,
much of it so early that it will be
nearly as good as summer fallow-
ing, as the foul seed will all germi-
nate before the fall free up, and will

household of five persons.
The largest item in the CLASSIFIED
list of public expenses is that OF
education, amounting to about ~
per cent of the gross expenditures.
The total number of pupils attend
ing the public schools in 1910 was
440,0S3 and the gross sum expended
in that year for teachers salaries
and other educational expenses a
mount to $13,724,437. This represents
an average cost of $31,1S for each
pupil attending the public schools
in that year.
Minnesota early in its history
took an advanced position in edu-
cational matters and for more than
fifty years it has steadily maintain
ed that position 1t is justly proud
of it's splendid school system. 1t has
no apologies to make for spending
two.fifths of its total revenues from
taxation in the cause of education,
for it believes that it's liberal and
progressive educational policy has
contributed in no small measure to
the present greatness of the state.
People frequently complain OF
high taxes as If the benefits re-
ceived were not equivalent to the
amount paid. Generally speaking,
these complaints are not well found
ed. While taxes may be high. In
some districts, due to local condi-
lions, as general proposition the
benefits received are not only worth
more but cost the state more than
the amount contributed in taxes by
the average citizen.
The cost, alone of educating one
child in the public schools is one
and one-half times as much as the per
capita cost of state and local govern
ment for all purposes. If the cost
of the other benefits we enjoy as
the fruits of taxation could be COM
puted as accurately as the cost OF
education it would be found that
the average citizen pays much less
in taxes than it costs the state to
provide him with the advantages
and benefits we enjoy under our
