RURAL DEVELOPMENT.

Anyone who has attempted to study
conditions with the view of determin-
ing what should be done to encourage
state development in the older Sec
lions of the state is forced to the con-
clusion that much-to-be-desired con-
dition, would be a change from the
present number of large and poorly
titled farms to a larger number of
smaller well-tilled farms, which would
not only result in better yield of
crops, but in a substantial increase in
population.
Better Farming and Better Living
is the slogan. All kinds of movements
are afoot to help develop" farming.
Instead of being content to give prac-
~tical education time to develop in a
natural way there has been tendency
to attempt to force a sort of "hot-
house" growth of better methods on
the farmers. This has been resented
in many instances, and leads to reac-
tionary tendencies which threaten to
undo much Of the really good work
that has been done. We should not
lose sight of the fact that the change
cannot be revolutionary but must of
necessity be evolutionary if it is to
come at all.
Another misconception is that the
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-05-05

rise in speculative values will in it.
self lead to better conditions. On the
other hand it is evident that purchase
of land at fancy prices without a
change for better production spells ru-
in to the investor.
In our county the last census proves
that the number of farms during the
last decade has actually decreased.
This means that some of the smaller
farms have been added to larger ones
to make them still larger. The farm
er who adds more land to a farm tha:
is already too large for himself to
properly till becomes a Spectator
rather than a farmer. Such a land
miser Injuries the community by r.
moving this integral part of the neigh
borhood from the chance of more in
tensive industry quite as seriously as
does the money miser who takes the
circulating medium of money away
from it's proper channels of trade.
A little more Henry George in our
laws would assist towards an adjust
ment for real development of the re-
sources of our farming communities.
Remove the taxes on improvements
and tax the land values so much more.
This would discourage the Spectator
and encourage the real farmer. H.
stead of investing his surplus in more
land, the farmer would be tempted to
put it into better improvements.
The progress made along applying
scientific education to practical farm
ing and broad cooperation in CON-
munity life is not hopelessly slow.
Let us not become impatient but each
do his share to help it develop in the
right direction. All good and lasting
growth is usually slow process.

federal court in Chicago and file pro-
test, which would bring the award d.
rectly before the court for review. So
far as known, neither the brother
hoods, nor the railroads will make
such a move, the brotherhoods having
pledged themselves to stand by the
findings of the arbitrators whether
good or bad.
There has been some talk of a con-
gressional investigation but whether
this will begin in the U. S. Senate or
in the House of Representatives has
not been decided upon. 1t is known
that such men as Senator Robert NJ.
LaFollette of Wisconsin and Senator
A. B. Cummings of Iowa will be IN
sympathy with the cause of the en-
ployes.
"There is one thing that the men,
bers of these brotherhoods are intent
on finding out" commented Grand
Chief Stone, "and that is who is re-
sponsible for the arbitration proceed
ings just ended and for the appoint
ment of Charles Nagel. We will find
this out no matter how long it takes.
We are in favor of the principle of ar
bitration but we do not favor an ar
bitration in which the cards are stack
ed against us from the beginning"
President Carter of the firemen's or
ganization had the following to say:
"As we understand the Board of
Mediation and Cancellation, close iden-
tity with great railway financial inter-
ests makes a person desirable as a
neutral arbitrator in arbitrations of
wage disputes between railroads and
their employees. With this we dis
agree. We hold that it would be just
as reasonable to select Sam Gompers,
President of the American Federation
Of Labor, as neutral in this arbitra-
ton as it was to select Mr.. Nagel.
Both are probably intensely honest
and each is controlled by what the
Socialists call "class consciousness"

POLITICAL PROGRESS.

Gunnar Bj0rnson and Theodore
Christensen were a team in the late
House Of Representatives of which the
Seventh District is proud. Mr.,
Bjornson, although himself the Of
fetal head Of the Republican State
organization, refused to stand for the
efforts of Mr.. Gordon and others to
legalize certain political gatherings
and thus grant franchises to the poll
ticians in charge. The Minnesota pri-
mary Is alright, and any changes made
should be in the way of improving the
same as experience points the way.
To legalize conventions would have
been a step backwards and would
have been blow to the true spirit of
the primary. Likewise the nonparti-
san law is step forward for which
Minnesota people have reason to feel
satisfied. To repeal that would have
been crime against political progress
and would have deprived our state
OF the honor Of being first to work out
such plan. In effect it removes all
county offices from party politics
more thoroly than any civil service
law, and at the same time it leaves 70
the people whose servants the officials
are to determine their fitness to hold
and remain in the offices,

In Harry Wilkerson's dark heart
there was what he might in his twist
ed vocabulary have termed happiness.
His plans were working out to perfec-
ton. Jean Darnell had wired again
that all was well and that she would
have news for him in a few days. This
meant that she and George Drake had
done their part. But he wondered why
it was that John Dorr, who must GER
tainly be anxiously awaiting word
from Ruth, neither said anything nor
displayed a sign Of Impotence.
1t did not escape him that Tom Kane
and the young engineer were in con-
sultation several times. What were
they planning? He determined to
probe boldly. When Dorr came into
the office in the afternoon and began to
clear up his desk Wilkerson asked
quietly, whats the news from San
Francisco? Has Ruth wired"
John had been expecting this per.
fectly natural question and was ready
with his answer:
Everything seems to be all right"

On the arrival of Dorr in San Fran

search for Ruth. First they began a
round of the hotels. Failing to locate
her at any Of the smaller hotels, first
inquiring at the st. Francis, where she
was supposed to stop. they arrived at

Weary and sore from his narrow es-
