WHY NUMEROUS Candidates.
(St. Paul Midway News,

Est. Paul Midway News.)
All that hotel waiter can do is to
hand you the bill of fare. The next
thing is, do you know what you want
when you see it?
How would you like a governor
who would do for the state of Mime
sofa just exactly what Samuel G.
Iverson says he will do If elected?
The next question is what are the
probabilities OF Mr.. VERSIONS fulfill
ing his promises in the event that he
should be elected? He is no adven-
turer in the public serv'~e. He is
thoroughly well season = Respon-
sibility is his long suit. 1as he ever
failed to make good?
Then why such a multiplicity OF
gubernatorial candidates as we had
two years ago? The state editors were
certainly very generous towards Gov
ernor Eberhart SO far as his boiler
plates went, but what objection is
there now, to the country editors go
ing into executive session for the con-
sideration of Mr. VERSIONS platform?
How can S. G. Iverson or any other
man ever drag the invisible govern
nient' from it's place of hiding into
the bright rays of publicity" if left
at the mercy of our jack-o'-lantern
consolidated corporations.

The voters of the state were agree

Samuel G. Iverson announced him.
self as a candidate for the Republic
an nomination for governor of Min
nesota. For some weeks past Mr..
Iverson has been visiting different
parts of the state and wherever he

Iverson has been state auditor for
many years and during his regime
has made the cleanest record ever
made by a state official and in going
before the people in the gubernatorial
campaign can stand on that record
alone and win in walk. All prcgres-

FRANK DAYS HOROSCOPE.
(Fairmont Sentinel.)

SenIlneLJ
Mr. Iverson is energetic, able, re-
sourceful; he has an army of friends
and acquaintances; he knows the
game of politics like a book; he is
rich in qualifications for the position;
and he has a record that should be
a tower of strength in support of his
cause.
Governor Eberhart, although backed
by what is considered the most po-
tent influence in Minnesota politics,
will find in Auditor Iverson a foeman
that will give him the battle of his
life. 1t is too early to predict the
outcome, but if the contest resolves
itself into a battle between Eberhart
and Iverson, we should say that the
odds would favor the auditor But
third or fourth candidate is quite
likely to compiicate the situation.
with campaign of such tenseness
and acrimony that a good, clean
Democrat would have an excellent
chance in November.

IvERsoN IS PROGRESSIVE.

est. Paul Pioneer Press)
The stand taken by State Auditor
S. G. Iverson, in defense of the inter-
ests of the people of Minnesota in the
timber, pine or other, growing on
state lands-and in favor OF such
methods of handling timbered lands
as will make them perpetual rather
than temporary source of revenue
cannot be too highly commended. 1t
stamps the auditor as not merely
conservative but progressive in his
views as to the proper handling OF
the natural resources of the state. A
little variation of this glowing pre-
sentiment will show the state, fifty
years hence, in possession of magnifi-
cent areas of thriving forests, the
basis of score of great industries as
well as the. source of perpetual reve-
nue. to the state-said forests mean
while being more thickly inhabited
than is the average Southern Mime
sofa county today. 1t will also show
the burden of taxation for state pur-
poses to have entirely disappeared;
the revenues from it's natural endow-
ments, and from franchises based on
natural opportunities, sufficing to
keep Minnesota in the vanguard OF
progressive states. And in the dis
tribution of honors for the attainment
of such now prospective results, COM
ing generations will award no sinai.
share to S. G. Iverson.
MR.. VERSoN ON ECONOMY.
minneapolis Journal)
The platform of State Auditor liver
son as candidate for the gubernato-
RAN nomination is interesting His
main plank undoubtedly is economy,
and on this he says:
We have in recent years been Law
ishly blessed with natures richest
gifts. This prosperity has tended to-
ward very generous public expendi.
lures, evidenced by present day tax
demands and liberal bond issues for
future generations to pay. We need
rousing revival of old fashioned
economy, and the state should be the
model for local municipalities
Mr.. 1verson is evidently in posi-
ton to note the expansion of state ex-
penditure. His reports show the ten
dency graphically. On page 219 of his
biennial report for 1912 the auditor
published table showing the receipts
and disbursements from the state
treasury for each year since the ad-
mission of Minnesota. To go no farther
back than the last decade the table
shows these interesting facts:
1908 1912
Receipts ..... $685. 1886 $15,S05,302
Disbursements /. S.116,6S3 1922, 065
Receipts and disbursements each in
creased 100 per cent in ten years.
The table does not mean, of course,
that the state raised and expended six
teen million dollars. There are some
bookkeeping accounts and some in
vestment items, besides some dupli-
cations, that reduce the totals. But
the comparison is correct. The state
is 100 per cent more expensive for the
taxpayer In 1912 than it was in 1903.
Has there been 100 per cent in
crease in the population or productive
wealth in the same period? There is
no pretense of that. The population
has not increased 100 per cent In
1900 1t was 1,751,000; in 1910, 2,075,-
000-less than 20 per cent increase.
The total value of taxable property in
the state in 1903 was $786, 1863, SO9, and
in 1912 s1,212 1857, 794, gain of "a per
