In the administration economy
program has been found several
bitches. Representative Mann, the
opposition leader, striving to
educate the Administration in
economy, read from the contingent
accounts that the Government had
purchased for Secretary of Labor
Wilson four automobiles broug-
ham, cabriolet. an opera car and a
touring car-and had paid six
hundred dollar a year for garage
charges on them. If the entire
cabinet of the president is treated
in like manner, there should be

THAT municipal extravaganza"
argument in regard to the range
cities would give a man a pain in
several parts of his body at one and
the same time. Because the range
cities have made improvements in
keeping with their growing de-
mands, this cry is being raised in
order to detract from the main
issue which is unequal taxation.
The majority of the range towns
where the citizens have awakened
sufficiently to grasp the bunco
game being played, are in good
financial condition with very low
tax rate. The rate will be still
lower when improvements to the
cities are completed and conven-
fences are installed making it pos
sible for people to exist in comfort.
When you get right down to brass
tacks, what do residents of the
range towns get that they do not
pay for? We constantly hear the
cry by the mining companies that
we pay 90, 80 and 90 per cent
of the taxes. Why not? I'VE"
own 90, 80 and 90 per cent of the
taxable property.

REAL MORALITY

Provincialism is not morality" +"
says DR.. Frank Crane, many
conscientious people feel that what

To many an honest villager
and farmer the city is a sink of
iniquity. The unconscious ground
for this conviction is simply that so
many things are done in cities to
which the rural dweller is not
used.

sion of opinion among those of any
nation, section or race, that those

libertines, and the French think
English are hypocrites. Metho-
dists imagine shocking things OF
Roman Catholics, and the latter
can curdle your blood with ac-
counts of the vileness of Metho-

Kansas looks upon a German sip
ping beer to music in a garden as

wreckage.

as that principle in a soul which
respects the sanctities of life, main

enjoys useful daily work. subjects

DR.. CHARLES H. JUDD, dean OF
the college of education OF the
University of Chicago, evidently
made some 81 varieties Of a jack OF
himself in his address before the
Northern Minnesota Educational
Association in Duluth last week
The dean had failed to study the
makeup of the northern Mime
sofa educational facilities and
spoke of our schools and colleges
from a Podunk township stand
point. All who heard the address
left with the impression that the
dean was talking some twenty
years behind the times and that he
had not sufficiently studied the
subject but was laboring under
the impression that Minnesota,
which in reality is the forefront OF
educational facilities in the Union,
was still in the backwoods class
and using the methods of a long
forgotten period. Supt. Flynn OF
Two Harbors, the newly elected
president of the N. M. E. A. says:
That if these eastern men are to
come here and point out useful
methods to be followed in the
schools of this part of the state,
they should first learn something
of what is being done. Minnesota
is one of the leading states in the
Union in educational work, having
five large state normal schools and
numerous colleges, in addition to
the state university. The best OF
instructors are employed, and the
very latest methods are followed
by the teachers in the schools"

Manassa Puts Up Fast
Game Surprising Locals

One of the smallest crowds that
ever witnessed a basketball game
in Monte Vista saw the Monte
High school boys defeat the giants
from Manassa at the Opera house
last Wednesday night. This was
by far the best game seen here for
some time and the few spectators
were at the highest pitch of en-
thusiasm all the way through the
contest. In this game the local
boys were matched against real
men, but some of the spectators
didn t seem to appreciate the fact.
nj ost of the Manassa players were
large and they had the local boys
continually guessing,
Monte excelled in team work
and easily led the score at the end
of the first half by 5 points. But
the Manassa huskies soon got in
to the fray in the latter period and
by excellent basket shooting, al
most cut down the lead established
by the locals. The roofing of the
local fans seemed to help the Man
sssa men quite bit in the latter
part of the game. This showed
good sportmanship and should be
followed in future games, but this
good spirit should be shown the
locals once in n while. If it helps
the visitors it will encourage the
locals.
Mortensen, who has played on
the Academy team for about 6
years, was the star of the game
His basket shooting in the second
half WAS the best ever seen on the
local floor, and easily put his team
in running order. The team work
of the locals featured and no ex.

place The game ended II to II
in favor Of Monte. Two of the
