and have thir affairs down to a well
ordered system. Most of the new
counties in the west are still heavily
in debt and their town and school
taxes are heavy burden.
Every taxpayer thinks and we all
feel that taxes are too high, but Just
what the remedy would be for imme-
diate relief, has not been suggested.
Our school taxes are burden be-
cause we have had to bond heavily
to build our many good school houses.
Our courts are expensive on account
of the delayed and extended trials of
large and small criminal cases. We
have had a number of river bridges to
build and expensive road work to per-
form, as well as spring floods to take
care of along the river bottoms in
places, and all these have cost money.
Certain explanations have been
made by publishing, as to what was
done with the tax money, and these
were doubtless correct
From the present time the main
thing should be to remove as much as
possible of the need of such a high
levy and all possible effort should be
put forth to do this.

There are probably two good reasons
why the sugar beet factories desire
to lower the price Of beets. One
reason would be cheaper product
AS many refuse to grow beets at the
reduced price. this will cut down the
crop sufficiently to probably raise the
market Result: A profit both ways.
Cheaper beets and higher market
The raising of beets at the lower price
will be largely covered by the beet
workers, those who know little about
other classes of farming. On the
other hand it will give those farmers
who have heretofore been content to
seed a part of their land to beets, to
better note the difference in profits
between beet growing and raising
other varieties of crops on the same
Land. There has been so much con-
tention between beet growers and fac
tories heretofore, that the present step
may prove an educational experience
of value.

In this paper appears short ar
ticle about what one farmers club
has DONE" in the San Luis valley.
Independent would like to have every.
farmer-subscriber read this because it
seems TO be along such practical and
beneficial lines. In the education OF
farm work, as in the education of any
other work, the very best results
come from an interchange of ideas,
and in This connection there should be
no evidence of selfishness. Teach
ers. professional men, business men
in fact. every class-is bettered by
getting togeter and relating their ex-
periences and telling about the results.
This creates a powerful auxiliary to
agricultural school teachings. for it
adapts them to practice and places
them directly within reach of not only
every farmer, but his whole family.
We believe it would be greatly to the
credit and benefit of every farmer
community to have just such club
as the one which inspired the writing
of this editorial, at which they could
freely discuss everything to their in
terests. In this era of brainy people
there is scarcely a man who does
not evolve something of interest and
value which could be made profit
able text-subject to discuss with his
neighbors The Mosca club mentioned
has changed thousands of acres OF
idle land to profit growing crops,
stamped out animal diseases, educated
its members to a higher and more
practical plane and establisheda fam
lily school worthy the name.

next few years. The wire pullers and
politicians who always have been in
league with the privileged interests
and have had too much to do in max
ing our laws and managing the peo-
pies business, will be made to see
the light or be retired to obscurity.
The political revolution now upon us
is for the betterment of the masses
for the reign of the people and the
welfare of the nation. An era of
higher ideals, of equal opportunity
and exact justice is drawing near.
We would not expect that all at once
the world will be made perfect. but
with good people everywhere deter
mined TO find solutions for our prob
lens, we may be certain that better
things are coming.

Intervention in Mexican affairs
would have come with better sense
months ago, or upon the abundant
evidences of outrages to American
citizens. An insult to the flag should
not be tolerated, of course, but an
American citizen is first and always
a representative of our flag beside
which the mere matter of saluting the
flag appears but flimsy excuse. The
same conditions have existed, and to
an aggravated extent, which led up to
the former wars between the United
property, robbery and murder of Am
erican people who were willing to take
a chance in helping to develop Mex
ico's resources. Mexico was then, as
now, little more than system Of

WANTS TO KNOW WHERE WE
ARE DRIFTING?

An owner of Delta county property
has mailed this office a copy of a
Pennsylvania paper giving the audi
tors report on Greene county, that
state.
1t shows a tax levy of STA, ,4S9.25,
as against s294,769.94 in Delta county
for the same year.
The Denver property owner cites
that the population of said Greene
county, Pennsylvania, is more than
fourt times that of Delta county, and
asks: where Are We Drifting?"
There is likely to be, of course, a
legitimate difference between an old
county in the east and comparative
ly new county in the west. Most of
the old counties east are out of debt

WITH THE THINKERS

R. T. McKenzie.-We can not check
the rush of people to the city, but
we scarcely have awakened to the
serious consequences that have alarm
ed Germany and England which al
ready see the effect of city life on the
third and fourth generations. Few
trades or professions require muscu
lar activity Many occupations tend
directly to break down an otherwise
sound physique Twenty percent of
our school children have crooked
backs. We have been able to prove
that efficiency goes hand in hand
with solnd physique, a good circula-
ton and a nervous system that is
able to stand the fatigue and stress
of city life. We must replace the
starvation of the muscular system by
training in control and skill. The
trade schools have been an entering
wedge, but even they are too soft in
muscular action.
Arthur Capper.-Reforms are COM
ing Just as sure as tomorrow's sun
rise. NO one can say just how they
will come or just what form they will
take, but the injustice of Industrial
ism, the tyranny Of capitalists and
other great evils of which we now
complain, will be wiped out in the

While adverse conditions are gener-

While adverse conditions are gener-
ally complained of from nationwide
sources, Delta county territory is as
free from real causes OF complaint as
are most places. This is shown by the
many improvements being made all
over the county and by the further
good showing of deposits in banks OF
the country, whose reports never show
less than an aggregate of a million
dollars, and usually from a million
to a million and a half on deposit.

SLAVES RECORD AT DETROIT.

For the second time in eight days
Ed. Harmer, of Kenosha, shattered the
record for the mile on four-lap track
at Detroit Monday. Harmer whirred
around the Motordrome oval in 3S As
seconds, one-ffth of second faster
than the former record, which he held.
Fred Luther, Harmer's speedy team
mate, also essayed try at the world
mark during 'drome program, but fail
ed to cut Harmer s time. Luther did
the mile in 40 rs seconds. BY his work
in Detroit, Harmer has shown himself
to be one of the fastest and most dar-
ing riders in the country according to
Otto F'rykman, manager of the Detroit
Motordrome, who has himself gained
considerable fame on board tracks.
Harmer's daring was displayed when,
IN cutting the record, he rode the safe
ty rail at the track for more than one
hundred feet, narrowly missing topping
over into the grandstand. Harmer al
so cleaned up in the Sweepstakes event
beating out Luther by narrow mar
gin. Kemp was third in this event.

CLERK GETS ELECTION NOTICE
Secretary of State Lists Nine Proposed
Amendments to State Constitution
Would Boost Pay Of the Members of
the Legislature This Year.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received from the secretary of
state at Madison the annual notice of
the general election to be held through
out the state on November 3rd The
notice is the longest document Of the
sort ever sent out by the secretary Of
state as it covers six printed pages. 1t
contains not only the aotice of the
election of the various state, congress
sional, legislative officers, but for the
first time in the history of a Wiscon-
sin election it calls the attention of the
people to the fact that United States
senator is to be elected by popular
vote. The United States senator, who
represents Wisconsin in the upper
house during the next six years, will
have the honor of being the first man
to be named by a popular vote of the
people Of the state as all other sena-
tors from Wisconsin have won their
elections from members of the two
houses of the legislature.
In addition to the notice of elections
of the state and district officials formal
notice is given that at the November
election the people Of the state will
vote on the adoption of nine new
amendments to the state constitution.
These amendments were acted on at
the last session Of the legislature and
all of them met with favor in the leg
islature. 1t is expected that the vote
or the amendments to the state con
stitution will be largely overlooked in
TIE general interest attending the cleo
ton of state officials, but special eff
fort is being made throughout the state
to have the people give especial at
tention to the proposed changes in the

The average American horse owner,
particularly amongst farmers and vii
layers, is fairly good judge of horses.
He can size up an animal with keen
eye for values. He knows the coarser
signs, at least, of spawn, CHAMBERS,
heaves, blind staggers, thrush, ETC., etc.
He can form good estimate of stay
ing powers, digestion, disposition,
the qualifications for draught or driv-
ing purposes. And when he is in doubt
he knows the value of consulting a
neighbor or a veterinary surgeon, who
knows more.
The average American parent is a
much less capable judge of children.
He knows little or nothing about the
coarser signs and significance of ada-
noids, enlarged tonsils, weak feet and
ankles, enlarged glands, curved spines,
ricketts,, Indigestion, sunken chests,
lameness, ETC., etc. And appearances
would indicate that he doesn t care.
of course appearances are wrong. He
does care; he wants to know, but it is
not so easy to learn.
When an owner decides that his
horse may have speed and chance to
win fame and money on the race track,
the owner will employ the best avail
able trainer to develop him. He will
make as certain as he can that the
trainer knows horses, will not over
train or overstrain him. He must be
