Lookinu Toward the Farm

II now appears to be generally uh-
derstood that cheap food is thing
of the past. Even with trust extor-
tions eliminated and only natural
causes operating, food supplies VIII
still be high in price. The farm VIII
he profitable for the farmer. Land
will go up in price to hitherto un-
heard of figures for agricultural pur-
poses.
And there is no monopoly in farm
lands. There is nothing to prevent
people from getting land and max
ing start, if they have little mon
ev to start with. Already land is
practically impossible for persons
with only few hundred dollars
if they are in the high-priced area.
But here in northern Wisconsin
the opportunities are wide open for
rich and poor alike. A moderate sum
will make a good start here, where
good land is cheap and good mar
kets are at hand. Let the facts De
advertised. Publicity will do the
work. Superior Telegram.

Charaes of Extravaganza Are Not
Substantiated BY Facts and
Figures

In answer TO charges of extrava-
gance on the part OF the present
state administration, and to state
ments that had been made that the
high state tax was one reason why
taxes We're high, the News-Budget
last spring published a statement
showing that this county actually re-
ceived from the state more than it
paid in. That statement was not,
could not, be CO troverted.
Inasmuch as the reactiOnary-Dem-
ocratic candidates have been shout
ing extraFagance persistently during
the present campaign, we again
present these figures and challenge
anyone to refute them
With all their charges, it must be
remembered that the democrats
have not pointed out any specific
place to save or any commission that
should be abolished If they can
point out where the state can profit
ably make saving why don't they
do it?
We also published figures last
spring showing that the cost
of state government was greater in
both the adjoining states of Mime
sofa and Michigan.
