road work, and perhaps the commits
sioners of this county may see their
clear to help the good cause.
Prof. Solberg stated that the city
should gravel its streets, as at present
they are too dusty or too muddy the
greater part of the time. The city
should at least, said the professor,
gravel a road from Main street to the
college and he asked that a committee
be appointed to confer with the coun,
Gil. The president appointed Mr.. Sol
berg, j. r. Fridley and liver Dybdahl.
II. E. Riley mentioned the coming
Fourth of July race meet and said that
the club members should all boost for
it, a suggestion that will no doubt be
carried out.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned for lunch.
The meeting was a long one and
many members left before it was over
The discussion of the various matters
took a great deal of time, and it would
seem the part of wisdom to set a mark
for adjournment, say at ten-thirty, al
least during the hot weather.

OPENING MAIN STREET

The question of opening Main street
on the north has been much discussed
in Brookings the past couple of weeks
and 1t La an important one to the city,
Tho council met in special session
Monday evening to act on the question
but adjourned without doing anything
and 1t is common taIk<that it is their
intention to drop<fhe matter. How.
ever, the Register believes that the city
would be~Fery foolish to pass the mat,
ter up at this time. The Paul tract OF
land, which is really the key to the
situation can be purchased for $4,000,
which is certainly a reasonable price,
and the other owners of land on the
proposed street offer to donate enough
for street purposes. The street will
ultimately have to be opened, there is
no question about 1t, and the city, If 1t
does not take advantage Of the present
opportunity, will doubtless have to pay
several times what Is asked now when
It Toes get ready to open 1t. IL the
city wants to use the land for a park,
we'll and good, and 1t certainly cannot
buy 1t cheaper than it can at the pres
ent time.
Some citizens say that the land
owners in the addition who will profit
by the opening of the street should fur
nish the purchase price. Perhaps they
should and still we believe that the
opening of the street will be an advant-
age to the whole city and every tax
payer should help to pay for 1t. 1t Is
certain THAT at the present time the
owners of the addition are paying more
than their share Of taxes. The land is
taxed by lots instead Of by acreage and
the owners derive practically no re-
venue from it and have no prospect Of
revenue until Main street is extended.
The increase in taxable property that
will result when the addition is built
up will more than Offset the sun that
the city will have to put into the pur-
chase price and improvements.
There Is a scarcity of good building
lots In the city, unless you go away
out, and the opening Of the addition
would satisfy this need in a large
measure. We want to grow into a
bigger and better Brookings but we
can never make much progress in that
direction IL we hold back for fear that
our neighbor is going to make a nickel
or two by the city's growth.

, Farmers Problems
HAVE FARM PRODUCTS INcREAs
ED IN PRICE?
By II. L. Loucks

A year ago or so the London Board
of Trade made a reports after due in
vestigation, as to the high cost of liv-
ing" and in that report stated that
food products" had advanced during
the past 20 years 2 per cent while
other than food products had increas-
ed over 40 per cent. Now please bear
in mind the distinction already made
between food products" and farm
products" AS at present handled the
main farm products" are the raw
material for food products"
The farmer neither regulates the
acreage, nor controls the price. That
is left to the uncontrolled law of sup
ply and demand.
After 1t leaves the farmers hands
there isNa change. The railroads, ele-
vators, millers, meat packers, cold
storage Co.'S. wholesalers and retailers,
are thoroughly organized, and each
have taken toll and profit on the way
to the consumer. How unfair then to
charge the increase in price Of food
products" to the farmer. A fairer
comparison will be the reports of
farm values" as compiled by the De-
partment Of Agriculture. That is the
average price paid the farmer in all
parts of the nation for farm products.
For the northwest the price quoted
will be higher than the price actually
received by the farmer, because of
greater cost of transportation and
handling to market.
For the calendar year ending June
1st, 1891, we find that wheat had
averaged $1.0O per bushel. December
LIST, 1912, the average price was 76
cents per bushel. A decline in price of
33h cents per bushel. We will admit
that flour and breadstuffs are higher,
but the man who raised the wheat is
not responsible for it, and does not get
the benefit Of 1t. For 1891 the aver
age price OF corn was $.704. Deem
Der LIST, 1912, $4S7 or PIT cents per
bushel less.
Barley, December LIST, 1891, the price
was 1924, December LIST, 1912, $.505.
Oats average for 1891 46 cents per
bushel. December LIST, 1912, 31.9, a
loss OF IA cents per bushel.
Flax is not quoted for 1891 so can
not make the 20 year comparison, but
for the FIVE year period prior to 1912
the average price Of fax was $2.17 per
bushel. January LIST, 1913, the price
was $1.0s. Allowing for the increase
In price for live stock and dairy pro-
ducts. It Is clearly evident that the
price for farm products IL lower than
they were in 1891.
But price alone is not a satisfactory
or true test Of value.
. There are three factors to be on
sidered, viz: cost OF production, cost
OF marketing, and what you can ex-
change your labor or products for.
Can the farmer produce as cheaply
40 he could 20 years ago?
In comparing cost Of production we
must consider the following terms:
interest on price or value Of land; cost
Of equipment; depreciation. wages.
.threshing, taxcs. and the many things
The farmer has to buy, such as lumber.

the farmer produces a surplus for.
Can he exchange that surplus for as
much land, farm equipment, lumber,
groceries, clothing and help as he
could 20 years ago? If not, and he
cannot, then he is not receiving as
much for his labor and investment as
he did. The cost of production has
very materially increased, thus reduc-
ing the margin of profit to the farmer.
The trust contracted tariff protected
commodities he has to buy are very

The chautauqua week was closed
in Newberry on Wednesday. 1t would
have been more generally observed if
the people of the city and county had
known more about it. The entertain
ments given by the Alkahest COM
pany were far above the average not
only in merit of the entertainment but
in the personnel of the entertainers.
We are satisfied that the financial end
would have been much more satisfac-
tory if the people generally had
known more about the entertainment
and the entertainers. AS matter of
fact, it was not as thoroughly adver-
tised as it should have been, but we
are satisfied if it should be put on an
other year, as no doubt it will be, it
will prove financial success.

That was terrible arraignment our
cotemporary made Of his brethren OF
the press in his last issue. They may
be bought by the railroads, as he
charges, and they may be tools of the
corporations, but we don't believe it.
We think there ar4 probably a few
honest ones left. 1t may be that the
only honest ones are the few who do
not exchange advertising for trans
portation. In our judgment his charg-
es are unjust, unfair, and in many OF
them not in accord with the facts.
We have 10 argument with him, how
ever, and we expect soon to see law
passed to have government editors or
some law regulating what shall be
printed, and then what our ration shall
be. These are wonderful times and
rapid changes are in order. They say
the world is growing better, but every
thing now must be regulated by law
and the old doctrines that every man
is presumed innosent until he is
proven guilty is reversed in this mod
ern and progressive age, and now
every man is suspected as a grand
