Perhaps no feature of the parade
was so much admired as the splendid
fire horses of the present Fargo fire
department. No horses ever trod the
streets of Fargo, where were more
beautiful specimens OF the equine, than
the large number that pranced down
the lines Saturday. All through the
crowd, as the parade passed, could be
heard comments about the fire horses.

The great Home coming week is
over and Fargoans heave sigh of re-
lief for it has been strenuous time.
The brilliant events Of the week came
to a thrilling climax in the great civic
day parade which was held late Satur-
day afternoon.
An added feature to the parade as
originally planned was the presence in
the city of the Duluth Boosters excur-
sion. They came to- Fargo following a
tour of the state arriving here just in
time to take their position at the head
of the line of march. Ess.# ..E
AS soon as the train arrived shortly
after o'clock the Duluth boys were
lined up at the depot and officially no
titled that they would be expected to
occupy the post of honor in the civic
parade of the Fargo celebration of the
twentieth anniversary of the burning
of Fargo, June Z, 1893, and as soon as
Frank x. Gravel, of the Stone Ordean-
Wells Co, of Duluth, heard this he at
once took off his cap which matches
his white uniform and swinging it two
or three times, remarked: ITO cele-
brate the big fire, eh? Well, we're the
hottest bunch of the lot"
He then marshaled his hosts and,
headed by the great Third regiment
band of Duluth, started for the forma-
ton point and they We're very much
in evidence. All but the band and Mr..
Gravel were dressed in long linen
busters over their other garments,
and they certainly presented a natty
handsome appearance.
After the parade had been conclud-
ed the Duluth boys went across the
river, where they mingled with the
business men Of Moorhead, and then
returned to Fargo in the evening. The
boys marched to different parts of the
city and rendered the people in general
a serenade and made very merry and
had a great time.
About 8 o'clock that evening a re-
ception was rendered the visitors in
the commercial club, at which the Gig
ars were passed several times and the
Duluth business men mingled with the
Fargo business men and they had the
very best kind of a time.
The Duluth men were very much
pleased with the parade that was Civ
en- in this city. They spoke highly of
the enterprise of the business men in
general who had spent a great deal of
money in getting up the floats. In fact
there was much favorable comment
made on the neatness and great e1ab-
erateness of the parade and demon
stration. 1t was grand success and
already there is talk of having a SINH
lar demonstration next year if it can
be arranged. J

measure will prove one of the most
interesting and important to be in
troduced at this session of the legis-
lature.
DR.. Charles Mccarthy, head of the
legislative reference library, and
student of labor and economic condi-
tions, has expressed the opinion that
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-01-29

tnat the courts will not interfere in
the constroversy. Ekern has been
ordered removed by the governor of
the state, and he is no longer on the
states payroll. They consider that
he is no longer the insurance com
missioner in spite of the fact that he
is still acting in that capacity.
Election of Senators.
The Democrats are jumping to the
front in the matter of calling legisIa-
tive attention to the direct election Of
United States senators by a direct
vote, or as nearly a direct vote as it is
possible to secure under the national
constitution. In the lower house AS.
semblyman Kneen introduced a Joint
resolution asking the state to use the
Oregon system of electing United
States senators. Senator Husting in
troduced similar joint resolution in
the senate
A. H. Hartwig, former state veter-
marian, is again on the warpath re
garding the testing of cattle for bovine
tuberculosis. Mr.. Hartwig in The
Farmer Veterinary Adviser declares
that it is wrong to permit laymen to
conduct tests, and he calls upon the
legislature to take steps to abolish
the practice.

faces the same duty in reference to
persons who suffer false imprison-
ment. Cases of innocent persons be-
ing sent to prison are not common,
but they do occur. The innocent
man who serves time in prison often
loses his health. More serious than
all, he is apt 70 lose his grip on things.
A substantial sum of money would
help such a person to get a new
start"
Board of Education Bill.
The so-called county board of edu-
cation bill will be introduced in the
assembly next week in such form
that members Of the state board of
public affairs believe that it meets the
constitutional barrier discovered by
Miles Riley of the legislative reference
library
In it's original form the bill pro-
vided for the appointment of county
superintendent by the proposed coun-
ty board Of education. Mr.. Riley dis
covered a statute which, in his judg-
ment, made the bill unconstitutional
because of the powers it proposed to
extend to an appointiye official. The
bill was changed to meet the point
raised by Mr. Riley Tt now provides
that the person who is TO be appoint
ed by the county board Of education
shall be called inspector and not a
county superintendent The proposed
bill gives him considerable authority,
but at all times makes him subject to
the Judgment and direction of the
board. In a sense, he becomes a
clerk. Those who drafted the measure
believe that this change in the bill

VIII avoid the constitutionality danger
pointed out by Mr.. Riley.
The bill provides certain qualifica-
tions for the inspector to be named
by the county board of education. He
shall have had two years of profess
sional training in a county training
school, normal school or a higher in
stitution of learning, and also three
years of satisfactory experience in
rural schools.
New System of Taxation.
Assemblyman Laursen Of Shell Lake
has introduced a bill which proposes
a new system OF taxation for lands
containing mineral rights. The bill
is of special interest for the reason
that in order to tax these rights as
proposed by Mr.. Laursen it would he
necessary to fix value on ore not
yet dug out of the ground. He is pre-
pared to inform the assembly that
this can be done with full Justice to
the owner of the mineral rights.
He would have the land valued on
the basis of the amount of ore in the
ground, the scheme being to extend
the present general property tax
system to property of this character.
The bill provides that the owner of
the land shall make a return on his
mineral reservations. In the event
that the owner fails to do this, the
assessing officer is given the right
to Investigate and fix a value on the
property. The measure provides that
the valuation fixed by the assessor
cannot be changed except by the
board of review.
Mr.. Laursen says that two systems
of taxation of ore lands are now be-
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-01-29

ing USED. one Is The system used in
Michigan, where the idea offered in
the Laursen bill is carried out. The
other is the system used in Mime
sofa, where the tax is based upon the
value of ore after it is removed from
the ground. That is known as the
harvest tax"
Wisconsin has large lead mines in
and around Platteville. Extensive
ore properties are also situated in
the so-called Superior lake region.
McGovern-Ekern Row.
What course of action the senate
may follow in the event that Insur-
ance Commissioner Ekern loses out
in the courts is a matter that is caus-
ing comment among the members of
both houses. There is a disposition
on the part of some of the La Toilette
men, who are in control of the SEN
ate, to have the senate act as a COM
mittee and conduct an investigation
of It's own into every phase of the
-Ekern case. If this plan
is followed, Ekern will be tried on
the charge made against him by Har-
ry G. Wilbur McGovern's executive
clerk. All of the principals in the
controversy would be summoned and
asked to testify under oath. There
is feeling among the La Toilette
men that the senate owes to Ekern
to give him a full hearing at which
all of the testimony on both sides
shall be heard. His friends decline
to recognize that he has been re-
moved as head Of the insurance de-
partment
The McGovern men, however, de-
cline to break ground. They insist
