There is a strong argument in
favor of cutting the valuation and
consequently lowering the taxa
ton on purebred male stock.
Every purebred animal used for
breeding purposes in Stevens
county, is valuable asset to the
county, as it will produce a val
liable progeny which rs subject
to taxation at higher rates than
the poorer grades of calves, colts,
pigs, etc. Thus if owners are
permitted to pay low taxes on
valuable sires, more of them will
be brought into the county to
better the stock of the county
and the consequent betterment
will in the end bring in more
taxes than if the high-priced,pure-
bred sires are taxed out of ex-
istence.
1t is true that county assessors
do not have the privilege of op-
Grating the taxation laws to suit
themselves, and it is a hard prob
lem to solve. But while we are
favoring laws which will admit
more people to actual settlement
in this county, in order that they
will pay taxes, we should not for
get that the same principle holds
good in the matter of bringing
into this county better grade
of livestock

says:
1t was not so very long ago
that the great express companies
of the country were accepting
the business of the small custom
er-the average citizen-with the
air of granting distinct favor to
him. 1t was difficult to get back
overcharges and impossible to OBJ
tain satisfaction for the breaking
of articles in transit without a
fight. Times have changed since
one old monopoly died. Today
we find these same express COM
panies sending out circulars act
nally asking for business at this
Christmas season, and guaran-
teeing the safe arrival of goods
forwarded. All of which shows
that when the people of these
United States rise up and kick
with sufficient vigor things hap

1t was this very idea of the
past regime that caused the peo-

the idea of the dominant party
that the people deserved no SYM

the public interests did not con-

Let us repeat that country
newspapers, if properly used, are
positively the best advertising
mediums in the world for the
money.
Mr.. Merchant, just store this
thought under your hat-every
country town that has a daily or
weekly newspaper is missing a
harvest if it's merchants do not
make it their mail order cata-
logue. Every inch of it should
be used. It is a gold mine.
Mind you, it should be the cut
price catalogue, with a good illus
tration and a catchy description
of every article of merchandise
carried in stock in your town, no
matter whether it be a package
of onion seed, gas engine, hay
scale or a flannel shirt, and ev-
cry article shown should be
quoted at a price that compares
favorably with the prices in the
advertisements of the city con-
Germs.
There is not a country town in
America where three or four
pages of this class of advertising
would not boom the local trade
and put the city stores out of
business, as far as orders from
that locality are concerned.
Their advertisements should re-
semble catalogue, not bill post
er's efforts. Every merchant
should make it a point to adver-
tise his goods and prices, instead
of his name. Store News.
