THE PAR.A1MOUNTtISSUE.

An anonymous correspondent Of
the Cambridge North Star, who
signs himself tan Anoka County
Voter, 8 makes a vicious attack on
Mr.. ]. a. Stoneburg of Cambridge.
Mr.. Stoneburg's name has been
mentioned in connection with the
senatorship from the 44th district.
although, as we understand it, he
has given no intimation that he
would become a candidate. But
whether or no he is a candidate the
anonymous attack on his character
is without Justification. It is not
an objectionable sin for man to be
a friend and supporter Of Governor
Eberhart, neither is there ANYTHING
criminal in one having a speaking
acquaintance with the chairman of
a committee of which he is mem
Der. For years Mr.. Stoneburg has
been one of Cambridge's most re-
spected and public-spirited business
men, one who has manifested lively
interest in the upbuilding of his
town and county, and he has been
especially active in the cause of
good roads. ~
Knowing Mr.. Stoneburg's zeal in
behalf of road-improvement the
Union was pleased to note that his
name had been mentioned for state
senator, for determined effort will
be made at the next session of the
legislature to repeal or amend
chapter 235 general laws of 1914, a
law which will give Isanti county
this year $4,000 of state money to
expend on state roads in that county
-four times as much as Isanti
county contributes to the state road
and bridge fund.
If Mr.. Stoneburg is not to be the
senator from the 44th district we
fervently hope that the man chosen
will be equally as Jealous in the
cause of good roads. .
Theorists and faddists to the con-
trary, the improvement of the public
highways is, or should be, the para
mount issue in Isanti county and in
every other county of the state of
Minnesota.

PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM TAXATION

PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.
"Under the new law property
owner must have valuation of more
than $500 before any assessment can
be made against him.
We find the above in an article
credited to the Verndale Sun. There
is no such exemption in the new
law. .. ~.
The following property is exempt
from taxation: All public burying
grounds; all public schools: all
public hospitals; all academies,
colleges, and universities, and all
seminaries of learning; all churches,
church property and houses of wo1-
ship; institutions of purely public
charity; all public property ex-
clusively used for any public pur-
pose; personal property Of every head
of family liable to assessment and
taxation Of the value of 500. .
Note the last exemption. There
cannot be two exemptions OF, 500
each IN any family. Heretofore
some families have divided their
personal property so that several
members of the family could take
advantage Of the 500 exemption.

JUDGES ROESER IND PRISONS.

Commenting on an article, lauda.
tory of Judges Roeser and Parsons
of this 1.-THE seventy judicial dis
trict, that appeared in the St. Cloud
Journal-Press, the Fergus Falls
Journal heartily Endorses the same
in these words:
'"These judges should both be re-
elected without opposition and they
will be if the matter is left to the
people. The only one to start op-
position to them will be some
member of the bar who wants their
places. Judges on the bench are at
a great disadvantage as they cannot
enter a general scramble for office
and maintain the dignity of the
bench. Both of these judges have
given satisfaction and they should
be- spared fighting to retain their;
places. . 57'3, :. ~:>'--5
In this state district and supreme
court Judges are elected for terms
of six years, but the Union has
always believed that a competent
judge should be retained in Office as
long as he cares to serve. That has
been the rule in the seventh judicial
district. Another custom, and one
that the Union implicitly believes
in, that has obtained in this district
for many years is the enforcement of
the judiciary from politics.
Judges Roeser and Parsons should
have no opposition for election this
year. They have demonstrated their
fitness and they are rightly located
geographically.

S21, 425, 706. These increases prove
that the people of the state are not
growing poorer.
One noticeable feature in the
abstract is that every county in the
state levied a road and bridge tax,
many of them the maximum amount
permitted by law. The road and
bridge fund levied by counties, ex-
elusive Of Ramsey and Hennepin, ag-
gregates ST, S74, 290:89. That amount
together with the fund that the one
mill state road tax will produce
should give us some good roads in
Minnesota this year But in adj
dition to this the towns of Mime
sofa have levied road taxes to the
amount of So, 397, 963. 26 and the de-
linquent road taxes--levied by town
supervisors amounts to S472 o26. 40.
Then again town supervisors are en-
powered to levy an emergency road
and bridge tax to the extent of five
mills and it is safe to presume many
towns will levy such a tax. The
total expenditures by the state,
counties and towns for roads this
year will aggregate Sc, 100000, and
this does not include bond issues for
road improvement which in the
county of Itasca alone amounts to
$500. 900. There ought to be a good
start made in road-improvement in
Minnesota this year.
The abstract is the most COM
plete ever issued from the state
auditors office and reflects great
credit on Mr.. Iverson and his COM
petent assistants.

Rev. DR.. Newell D. Hills, in an
address at New York on "The De-
terioration of the American
Physique,'' made this startling
statement: every time you double
the population in this country the
feeble minded children are multi
piled by four and the insane by
three; multiply that a few times
and you will have more crazy people
than sane.' This is enough, if true,
to impel person to become an adj
vocate of national eugenics law.
