This From Blackjack.

The Blackjack American this week
prints the following editorial:
at appears that the board of
equalization did not reduce the as
sessment of the Crookston Lumber
company because the members
thought it too high but because the
city Of Bemidji demanded it. The
question is will the state tax COM
mission stand for that kind of work.
True, the real estate owners of Be-
midi will have to pay ten per cent
and the people of the entire county
the one per cent to make up the de-
xticiency, but is that a square deal to
the real estate owners who will be
compelled to help pay the company's
taxes without being consulted in the
matter?"

large extent by the general public.
Many questions are so new that news
paper and magazine discussions are
the only written sources of informa-
ton and such a general reference ag-
ency is invaluable.
In the past four legislatures, bills
calling for such a bureau have been

passage by narrow margin. The
idea at the present time has been
Endorsed by nearly every candidate
for the governnorship. Too much
money has already been wasted by
the state of Minnesota by paying fol
legislation which has been thrown
out by the courts but which could
have been made right in the first

The Good Government club of the

a campaign for the passage of bill

Such bureau is one which acts as a

Over twenty states have already
established such bureaus and in all
instances have they been found to
be most useful to legislators wishing
to frame bills correctly or seeking
information about those already
placed before them. Such bureaus
are of great aid to the man who
wishes to properly express the ideas

Cheered in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Declaring that he
expects TO win the electoral vote OF
Illinois at the election of Nov. 8, Gov.
ernor Woodrow Wilson Of New Jersey,
democratic nominee for the presidency,
arrived IN Chicago yesterday after
noon on his way to Sioux City, ST. Paul
and Minneapolis.
His train was late 10 minutes, but
this did not distress him. as 10 is his
lucky number.
A delegation from the democratic
national headquarters in the Karpen
building went in three automobiles to
the Englewood station TO meet him
and ride with him into Chicago They
reached the station just as the Penn
sylvanis train, with the Wilson special
car Magnet" attached. was pulling
out. Only one member of the party,
Western Manager Joseph f. Davies,
succeeded in boarding the train. He
scrambled onto the car platform after
the train had started and was hauled
70 safety by the newspaper CORE
spondents in the Wilson party.
A corps Of newspaper photographers
boarded the Wilson car al Englewood,
and they soon had the presidential
candidate posing for his picture on the
rear OF the platform.
IT'S the first time you have been in
Illinois since your nomination. DO you
expect 70 carry this state?" he was
asked.
Il certainly do expect to carry NIL
nois-or, at least, have very strong
hopes Of carrying it," he said. You

much about what expect AS a rule,

II think so, decidedly. You see / am

He then excused himself TO go into
conference with Joseph E. Davies
western manager of his campaign.
He led Mr.. Davies into his private
stateroom and the two talked earnest
~ until the train arrived at the union
depot
At the depot the governor entered
an automobile to be driven to the Kar
pen building. but the insistent photog
raphers again induced him to pose.
He was recognized by many persons
and saluted. Some enthusiasts shout
ed: ''Rah, rah. for Woodrow Wilson
the next president"
The governor smiled and bowed, and
was whirled away TO Jackson boule
ward and across the river.
Governor Wilson left at Cos last ev

He was accompanied to the train by

insistent demand that Burke be al.
lowed to remain in councils.
Congressman Michael Donohoe, who
represents in the lower house the con-
gress district in which is the ward
Burke represents in councils, has an
nounced that if there is no other way
to restore his citizenship to Burke he
will introduce a measure in congress
restoring the reformed criminal to the
place in the world which he lost by
being convicted as a felon when he en-
tered the Charlestown prison.
1t remained for John L. Fehr, Amer
lean representative Of the Chinese Mer-
chants association. to make the first
practical proposition to Burke to re-
turn to Philadelphia.
Striking because of the practical
Christianity in the offer, it is made
doubly so because Fehr himself six
years ago completed a prison term and
has since risen to a position of respect.
There are no strings to Fehr's offer,
for he has promised that if Burke will
go back he will provide him with
stock and fixtures and set him up in
the cigar business and let him take his
own time in repaying the money which
Fehr will advance.
