Jim Peterson, good fellow that he
is, can never be elected United
States senator with the backing and
influence of the brewery interests of
this state. This might also apply to
ex-Gov. Eberhart. Note the hand

Blue Earth Post.
Unwittingly, perhaps, the Post is
unfair to Mr.. Peterson. He is not a
candidate for the United States sem
ate, and if he were he would not
have "the backing and influence of
the brewery INTERESTS If Mr.. Pet
erson is candidate for any position
next year it will be for that of gov
ernor. Those who are intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Peterson know
that he is man who cannot be in
tluenced by the "interests.' His
past record is a sufficient guarantee
on that score. There is nothing in
James A. Peterson's past record, nor
in his present political affiliations. to
lead anyone to believe that he would
be recreant to the interests Of the
people in any position to which he
might be called. 49, -~. -

Five murderers expiated their
crimes in the electric chair at Sing
Sing prison last Friday, and the ex-
ecutions were termed the most sue
cessful in the history of the prison,
the entire "job" consuming less than
an hour. The taking of life by the
state is repulsive to most people, but
in some instances no other punish
ment would be adequate.

WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.


A graduated horse power tax on
automobiles for the up-keep of trunk
line highways is advocated by the
Cloquet Pine Knot. No state road
tax save the one mill general tax can
be levied for road purposes. License
fees can be turned over to the road
and bridge fund, and that is what is
now being done with the automobile
license fees. The last legislature in
creased the license fee for autos
from $50 to $500 for the three year
period. and in addition autos are
taxed the same as other personal
property.
A license fee must be reasonable.
otherwise the courts might~hold that
it was tax. and a state road tax.
other than the one mill tax provided
for in the constitution, would be I'M
constitutional.
In the states referred to by the
Pine Knot there is no constitu-
tional Inhibition that prevents
the levying of specific state taxes
for road and bridge purposes.

Concerning Hyphenated Citizenship.
The Princeton Union defines a
hyphenated citizen as follows: "A
hyphenated citizen is one who likes
to have the blessings of American
citizenship, but doesn't like to pay
the price of undivided devotion to
the country of his adoption.'' We
believe that the Union is correct in
it's definition. The main question is,
do We want any hyphenated citizens
in this country? This is big coun-
try, but it is entirely too small to
harbor foreign sympathizers against
Americans and American traditions
and customs. If there be any hyphen-
ated gentlemen who prefer Europe
and European ways-including red
hot-shells and excessive taxation
to peaceful, prosperous America,
where every man: has chance to
show the stuff he is made of, there
are boats running across the Allan

|SAYS YOUhG CANADIANS
PAY TO SERVE COUNTRY
American Instructor Tells They Are
Eager to Enter Aviation
Corps.

New York, Nov. Elbow the
young men of Canada are preparing
themselves for service in the royal
aviation corps at the Curtiss instruc-
ton school at Toronto has been told
by Steve MacGordon, the young New
York flyer, who has returned to this
CITY after having been one of the
SIX Curtiss instructors there since last
summer.
They're all young fellows, these
embryo Canadian birdmen, and they
are so eager to get into the service
tnat they are willing to pay $500 for
the Curtiss training course on the
chance or winning the coveted pilot S
license which makes them eligible for
the royal aviation service, or the royal
hying corps. the army and navy
branches, with the rank of lieutenant.
There is a waiting list OF hundreds on
file and the Curtiss Company Ia plan
ming to increase its facilities at the
school to take care OF the applicants
who come faster than they can be
taught.
The company started the school
after the war began" explained Mac
Gordon. 1T was instituted by the
Toronto branch i'll June, 1915, and is
now considered the best training
organization in the worlo. The Cur
tiss instruction Is on regular army
models such as the Curtiss Company
is sending abroad. capable of making
seventy-hve miles an hour.
The first time man goes up the
instructor rises to about $l,5o0 feet
and then turns the machine over to
him for straight flying and left turns.
W hen he can manage these he gets
instructions on right turns which are
more difficult.
when he can keep the machine
level he Is taught to take her off the
ground and then to land her.
The students average twenty-three
IA twentyfour years, and its Il funny
thing that the city bred boys are
quicker learners and better pilots.
They pay $500 for the course and
when they enlist the government re-
turns this to them. All they pay is
their board and uniform"
