SCARCITY OF STAMPS.
Banks and Railroads Have Difficulty
in 0beying War Tax.

Many difficulties are being caused
in Bemidji by the lack of a sufficient
supply of revenue stamps. The Great
Northern depot and express office
have a few, which they received, for a
temporary supply, but other institu
tions have none. Other orders have
not been filled. Deeds, promissory
notes, certificates taken out by pri-
vate parties, stock transfers, bonds,
bills of lading, express or freight re-
ceipts, fire insurance politics, powers
of attorneys to sell and convey real
estate, proxies for voting at corpora
tion meetings, ETC., are taxable. Each
package of freight or express will be
taxed one cent when carrying five
cents or more.

The return of Field Marshal Baron
Won Der GoltZ to Constantinople, ac-
cording to the Berlin Lokal Anzieger,
is due to promise made to the sui
tan by Won Der Goltz when he left
the Turkish service eighteen years
ago to return if Turkey ever needed
his services.
The field marshal renewed this
promise to Sultan Abdul Hamid when
he visited Constantinople in 1910.
The sultan, it appears, recalled his
promise and asked the emperor to
loan Won Der Goltz and his staff to
Turkey during the war.

Appropriately Named.

~From every indication this Won
derland Trail, which I believe is ap-
propriately named, after my visit to
this city, bids fair to be completed,
at least for fair motoring, much
quicker than any other coast to coast
trail now planned. We must get
counties in the various states along
the trail to organize. There should
be local organizations, county organi-
cations, state organizations and in
ter-state organizations.
1T is possible at this time to drive
a car from Bemidji to Seattle and
with the work already under way in
the western states, this trail, when
completed, will be the best road from
the east to the west. In addition to
being the best road, it has the natural
advantages before stated, and splen-
did hotel accommo odations and con-
yenient points at just the right dis
itance apart for the tourists conven-
ience. The coming spring and sum-
mer this route will be definitely de-
cided upon. AS soon as this has
been done, the Goodrich Tire COM

amel iron signs all along the 1900

MAY NAME MACKENZIE AGAIN
Much Interest Shown in Exhibits Of
Minnesota Crop m provemen t
League--Name Premium Winners

Although the hrSt meeting or tine

sociation does not take place al
Brainerd until tomorrow morning, an
interesting skirmish for the securing
of the next convention has already
begun by Baudette, the boosting lit
tie city of northern Beltrami county
Coleraine and Hibbing. The latter
city is making the greatest demon
stration today, j. L. Lewis, secretary
of the Commercial club there, having
charge of the movement.
Many Want Mackenzie.
Much pressure is being brought to
bear upon w. r. Mackenzie, of this
city, to again be secretary of the
association. He has held this inn
portant position since the organiza-
ton of the league five years ago and
has always been live-wire in it's af-
fairs, being responsible for many of
the wonderful results obtained.
G. A. Albright, of Brainerd, is be-
ing pressed to succeed himself as
president. A new vice-president will
have to be elected, as C. L. Conger,
of Mcintosh, will be unable to serve
again on account of business engage
mentS.
Carries Away Honors.
A. D. VanSickle, of Warren, is car
rying away most of the honors at the
Minnesota Crop improvement associa-
tion exposition, for on Wednesday he
was awarded the sweepstakes in oats,
wheat and barley, while on the first
day of the mid-winter seed fair he
was runner-up up on sweepstakes in
potatoes.
First premium winners are given
herewith: Early oats, John w.
Beckman, Cokato; white oats, John
Henderson, Cokato; blue stem wheat,
Henry Holt, Cokato; fife wheat, F.
Sitter, Cokato; beared spring wheat,
Henry Holt, CoKato; winter wheat,
unknown; six-row type barley, F.
Sitter, Cokato; two-row type barley,
A. D. VanSickle, Warren.
Potato Show Fine.
Never in the history Of Minnesota
has a finer potato show been held
than in Brainerd at this exposition
of the Minnesota Crop Improvement
association. Truly the great big po-
tato of Minnesota, already made ia
nous by great railway system, is
the acknowledged king of the exhib-
it's at this mid-winter seed exhibition
Great big fellows, one enough for
meal for a whole family; they
drew attention. In the great cham
pionship sweepstakes Of the state,
first premium was won by A. Ham
merstrom, Moose Lake, and second
premium went to A. D. VanSickle.
Both were previously winners in the
respective classes entered. Hammer
strom won first premium in the oval
type, being almost a perfect sample
of Carmen potatoes, and these, by the
way, can be grown almost anywhere
in Minnesota.
Two Bemidji men, c. Schroeder
and c.. Winter, won potato premiums.

Directors as Suggested in Report of
Efficiency Commission Will Save
Huge Amounts for State.
WILL MEAN MUCH TO STATE
Budget System Will Cut Out Needless
Appropriations and $4OO, 900 More
Saved by Office Cooperation.
(By J. S. Pardee.)

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2.-(Special
to the Pioneer .)-"You have got to
spend some money to save money"
A business man was saying that
about his own office organization. He
found he needed an office manager to
keep down the general expenses Of
an office in which about fifty clerks
were employed The farmer will
tell you the same thing when he puts
in system of tile drainage or buys
a manure spreader The state is
figuring on the same principal when
it considers the report of the eff
cheney commission.
Worth More Than Cost.
Not wishing to hurt the feelings
of the men who may be appointed
directors of departments under this
plan, the fact remains that. their
functions will be very like that of
the lowly but useful manure spread
er. They do not make fertility; they
spread it where it will be most use
full and good farmers invariably say
they are worth many times their
cost.
rectors-there are only three of them
will cost the state anything. The
saving by consolidation will come to
a great deal more than any salary
the legislature is likely to allow
these directors. This is evident on
the face of the plan, and anyone who
will take a few minutes to study it
will see readily that, that is the fact.
There are only three Of these new
directors, one for the department of
public domain, one for labor and
commerce and one for agriculture.
The director of public welfare mere
ly takes the place of the chairman of
the board of control and the super
intendent Of education will hold sub
stantially the same place as the pres
ent superintendent Of public instruc-
ton.
Cost State Nothing.
So it won't cost the state anything
in the way of initial expense to adopt
this plan. 1t will result in savings
incomparably greater than any differ
ence in he payroll. Payrolls are a
minor item in state expenditures.
For example, state aid to schools
amounts to $2,0OO,00O a year; the
cost of state supervision of schools
is trifing item; the state highway
fund is more than $1,25O,OOO; the
highway department costs $50, 900.
All the way through the general ap-
preparations are much larger than
than the appropriations for adminis-
trative purposes. If few thousand
dollars can be saved out of hand by
this Encouragement of offices, if pos
sibly $4,000 year can be saved in
the departments in their operating
expense by consolidation, co-ordina-
tion and cooperation, a great deal
more can be saved by introducing the
budget system and making a study
of it.
The scheme or organization, which
of itself makes small saving, is on
ly preliminary to the real economy in
operations and greater economy in
appropriations.
