The pure water of upper Wisconsin
is an asset of great value.

In this connection l desire to present
to this meeting certain computation in
regard to the financial conditions of
this city as compared with other cities
of the state with populations ranging
from 1000 to 5000. In order to inform
myself as to the condition of other cities
I wrote to the city clerks of some 70
cities of this state asking for the in
formation tabulated below | received
81 answers and set forth the result of
this investigation in the following tab
ulated statement:
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-02-25

It will thus be observed that of the
fourteen cities in the state with popula-
tions varying fir ON $500 to $500 that the
average tax rate for three years in
Mineral Point is lower than eleven and
only higher than two. $3.50. a.scs,s
It IS also to be noted that the average
per capita bonded Indebtedness of the
above cities averages $1,000 while the
average for Mineral Point is $14.00.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-02-25

It will thus be observed that the
average tax rates for the above cities
for the past three years has been 2.37
per cent.
The average rate in Mineral Poiut for
the past three years has been 100 per
cent.
Of the 81 cities named above Mineral
Point has lower tax rate than 40 of
them Ten have lower rate than
Mineral Point.
In the above list there are the follow

PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY

When Andrew Miller was elected
attorney general Of this state for
the first time there was great hue
and cry that the prohibition element
in the state had come into its own
and that law enforcement would he
strict the state over. We say such
was the general sentiment. How
ever, there were local sections where
the thing was looked at in an entire
ly different light. For instance.
down in the Strasburg country the
name of Andrew Miller has always
been hailed with delight, despite
the fact that many people Of that Sec
ton are strong for the liquor traffic
in any and every manner possible.
When Henry j. Linde was a can
didate for attorney general last fall
he was attacked as being against the
prohibition element. He had little
to say in reply He simply hued to
the line and let the political gossips
go their way.
During the few months that Henry
j. Linde has been attorney general
he has done more for statewide pro.
hibition than did said Andrew Mil
Ter in all his years on the state pay
roll. Linde may be resubmission-
list. he may be prohibitionist or he
may be neither. Nevertheless, as
attorney general of North Dakota it
is his duty to see that the sale of
liquor unlawfully in North Dakota
is stopped. He is doing that very
thing, and he is doing it in way
that counts. Only recently he com.
menced an action against the North.
ern Pacific under the Webb Kenyon
Act of Congress. 1t is hanging fire
in the Federal courts. Now. Mr..
Linde has taken another far-reach-
ing step. Elsewhere in this issue ia
news story to the effect that all
the county prosecutors in the state
have received letters from Mr..
Linde requiring their cooperation in
the fight to stop importation of
liquors into the state for unlawful
purposes. 1t is manifest that the
cnrtailing of the supply Of alcoholic
beverages will put an effective stop
to Bookkeeping. blind plugging and
the many kindred evils that this
state. and especially this county has
been heir to.

1t is mighty hard to imagine more
ideal farming conditions than those
that obtain in Emmtns county al
the present writing. When the
winter passed without much snow
the pessimist came forth with the
prophesy that crops would be bad
for lack of moisture in the county
However, rain after rain has soaked
the county over and over. Much Of
the wheat was in the ground hafore
the rain. The soil will be in excel
lent condition for the other grains
to follow. With anything like an
even break Of luck during the COM
ing summer month"; Emmons county
will draw the greatest crop Of its
history and the acreage under cnlti-
walton will also set d new mark. All
this and the thought OF double the
usual prices prevailing is enough to
make the farmer the snvied OF the
,3race. q;

Never in the history Of the world
since the Dark Ages has there been
more frequent or convincing proof
that Might Makes Right. The vari.
GUS warning nations in Europe nave
demonstrated that fact repeatedly.
Germany has been noted as father
ing the scrap of paper" incident.
Italy, while not actually in the con-
flict. is keeping both sides bidding
for her services. 1t is pitiful in the
extreme to think that people of a
nation are likely to be drawn into
the malestrOm of such storm of
death as now RACES across the water
simply for commercial reasons
stripped of every vestjge Of virtue
of righteousness.
ltaly's course is sufficiently repre-
hensible. How much more is
Japan's? We have had one instance
of that nations ambition to partake
OF the war sufficiently to secure her
share in the spoils without costing
her much in men or money. Now
it appears she is coming out in her
true colors, after the manner to be
presumed from her earlier action.
While the various important Euro
pean nations are busy holding each
other down while they cut each
others threats Japan appears to
have decided to gobble up her un-
fortunate Asiatic neighbor. China.
The mastery of four hundred mil
lions Of people and vast amounts of
wealth and natural resources appear
to be the prize for which Japan and
China would have much the appear
ance of an old-fashioned Indian buff
falo hunt. While the wiry little
Jap circled around the massive
Chinaman the latter would have
about the same show that the buff
ealo had against the darts Of the
Indian.
