Fair Treatment.

Honestly now, has the farmer been
treated fairly by Congress?
Does 1t pay to trample on the in
terests of the agrarian classes?
Why has the farmer been attracted
by greenbackism, by socialism, by
bimetallism, by progressivism?
IT you reduce the tariff on things the
farmer produces, then be consistent, if
you believe in free trade, and reduce
it on things he has to buy.
But, some of the statesmen from the
South say, if there must be a tariff.
and we need the revenue to nav the
Nations bills, why not put it on some
OF the things WE raise?
That's just what the farmers saw
In the name Of fairness give the
farmers chance, for after all, isn't it
the farmer who draws his wealth from
the soil, who CREATES wealth. and
makes the whole country richer instead
OF poorer by his labor? Give him q
show.

Silver Wedding

Thursday was the silver wedding
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. George
W. Scherer of this city, and had 1t
not been for their friends the event
might have been permitted to pass
without any observance other than .
family reunion and . social evening
spent among themselves. =. ~
As it was, the fact that yesterday
vas an important event in the lives
Of this splendid couple leaked out and
it was not long before plans were on
foot among their friends for .
surprise on them, and it was most
successfully carried out last night.
The surprising psrtp, which num-
bered about forty old.time friends
and relatives of the couple, assemble d
at the rest room on Hickory street
last evening and after all had arrived
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Scherer,
which was nearby, was taken by
storm, and it was complete surprise
to both.
The guests brought with them
baskets filled with good things to eat,
which were served later in the evening.
The tiue was pleasantly spent playing
cards, and after the serving of refresh
ments there was music furnished by
the children of Mr.. and Mrs. Scherer,
and all joined in singing oldtime
German songs. The evening was
happily and pleasantly spent by the
jolly party.
The presentation of set of hand
some silver desert knives and forks, a
dozen of each, by the guests came as
another surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Scberer, and the remembrance is
greatly appreciated.
In the surprising party were Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Scherer and Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Pfaender Of New Ulm, the
latter couple presenting Mr.. and Mrs.
Scherer with beautiful silver baking
dish. .-Mankato Daily Review.

THIRD ARTICLE =.
The General Property Tax.

The main reliance of the minor di.
visions of the state, and, to q less
extent, of the state itself, is upon what
is termed the general property taxi
levied directly upon the real and per-
sonal property in the state. The
theory of this tax is that every person
should bear his just share OF the pub.
lie expenses, and that his ability to
bear it Is proportioned to the value
of his real and personal property.
This has been the theory upon which
this kind of taxation has been based
since the state was organized.
In the table given in the report OF
the tax commission for 1910 is the
following statement of the taxes raised
in 1909 and the uses to which they
were applied:
State taxes: For revenue and other
purposes there Was levied 81, 742, 743. 10;
schools and university, q, 1854, ,256 "a;

63O.O4.
The grand total of taxes on land and
personal property was $50, ,Sl3, go. Is.
In addition, the municipalities derived
revenue from indirect sources, such
as liquor licenses, not included in the
above. 1t may be worth noting that
approximately 1919 of this total was
used to pay interest and principal.

Good Roads q Paramount Issue

'pThe people of the state we're never
10 interested in good roads % they
are now, sold G. w. Cooley, State
Highway Engineer. to correspondent
of this paper day or two ago. Mr..
Cooley went on to explain that every
county is anxious to get its full allot-
ment from the state and is perfectly
willing to raise an equal amount of
money to improve roads.
He recommends that where gravel is
available, it be hauled now when it
can te done at half the cost of work in
she summer, If the gravel is dumped
on the side of the road, or spread
over in the spring. sgraveled surface
helps much in making good road.
We agree with the State Highway
Engineer when he speaks about the
interest manifested in the matter OF
good roads thruout the entire State.
It Is we'll that the people should be
interested in this subject because there
is no question of more vital impor
tsnce confronting our citizens to-day.
To show what is being accomplished
in some Counties in this State We
take pleasure this weak in referring to
an enthusiastic meeting recently held
in Owatonns by the Steele County
Good Roads Association. This orga-
nization has been in existence for
eight years. At the time it was
launched there was scarcely twenty
miles of graveled road in the County
and now they can boast of hundreds
of miles and the association has
been largely instrumental in bringing
about this welcome change by creating
public sentiment to favor good roads.
If present plans do not miscarry
meeting of all the road overseers of
Steele County will be arranged for in
the near future. At this gathering the
subject of road work will be thoroly
threshed out, to the end that valuable
ideas may be exchanged and an
enthusiasm created for record year
in good road work.
Attention was called to the amend
ment to be voted on at the next election
allowing one mill road tax. If this
should carry, the funds available to
Steele County from the State
Treasury would be between $4,000
and 500, 900. No doubt Brown County
would come in for a similar share.
II this amendment should carry, it is
safe to assume that the law would be
changed so that the Counties would be.
called on to contribute only one
fourth of the amount to be expended
on state roads and not one-half as is
now the case. Even without this
