ASSAULT ON INHERITANCE TAX
Supreme Court Will Decide States
Right to Tax Estates of
Non-ResidentS

st. Paul-What constitutes a gen.
eral assault on the Minnesota inherit
ance tax law figured in the supreme
court when arguments were heard in
the case of the State against the Pro-
bate Court of st. Louis county in the
matter of the estate of Edmund D.
Graft Of Pennsylvania. The question
at issue is the right of the state to
tax the estates of non-residents.
Edmund D. Graft was one of the
principal stockholders in the Scott
Graft Lumber company, which oper-
ated in the northern part of the state.
His holdings in Minnesota were esti.
mated at close to 100000.
At his death he willed his widow
all of his property. In Pennsylvania,
property left to widows is not taxed
and Mrs. Graft objected to the impo-
sition of tax on the Minnesota prop
erty.
If Mrs. Graft wins, it will practic-
ally destroy the efficiency of the act

URGES MORE STOCK RAISING
James J. Hill Asserts country's De-
mand Could Net Be Supplied in
Twenty Years.

neapolis.-James J. Hill, farmer,
talked to 600 live stock men, farmers
and agricultural students in the live
stock pavilion at the Minnesota col
lege of agriculture.
The railroad builder appeared to
enjoy thoroughly being in the sawdust
ring with the agriculturists looking
over the choice animals on exhibit
from the agricultural college barns.
Raise more live stock in Mime
sota," was the urgent message Of the
railroad magnate. Get into line in
the cattle raising business as soon as
you can unless you want to lose the
fertility of your land and let it go
back anG back until it will no longer
pay to cultivate it, he said.
Learn as much as you can about
cattle raising yourself, and If you
haven't enough send your boy down
here and give him a chance to learn
from the agricultural professors who
are taking hold of improving the cat
tie production in the state.
maybe you wonder why I come
here to tell you what to do" he con-
tinued. 81 have been farmer for the
past thirty years. I have had farm
near here for thirty years." he said, as
he pointed out toward his farm at
North Oaks, to the northwest of the
Minnesota college of agriculture.
Perhaps it is so poor you wouldn't
even care to farm it. When l took
it you couldn't raise half a bushel of
foxtail to the acre, but now it is pro-
ducing good crops of corn and alfalfa.
"My land is so poor" the railroad
magnate said, "that l could not afford
to sell load of hay from it; but if
feed it to my cattle and turn the fer
tility back into the land, it is improv-
ing every day.
$50 you see / am not preaching from
book. but from my own practical
experience.
Some men farm all their lives with
their feet" he said jokingly. Others
farm with their head and feet, and
they are the ones that succeed. There
are others that farm with their
mouths Look out for them!" he add.
ed with a twinkle.
"You need not fear growing so much
live stock that it will affect the mar
ket," he assured the audience. 1.-THE
live stock supply is so short in this
country that we could not overtake
the demand in twenty years."

MAN WHO CAN DO THINGS is IN
DEMAND.

When Mayor Mitchell of New York
was discussing Colonel Goethals, who
has won worldwide renown for his
mastery construction of the Panama
canal, for the head of the police de-
partment. he said he wanted the big
gest man in America for the job.
The man who is in most demand
everywhere today is the man who can
do things, the man with a vigorous
initiative and the quality of fine lead
ership, the man who can create some
thing, the man with resourcefulness,
the man of productive power.
There are plenty of men who can
do routine work, who can follow pre-
scribed lines. carry out in detail a
program which others make. but the
man of original force, of constructive
energy. who can get out of the beaten
track and blaze away for others is as
rare as he is valuable.
There is always a big premium on
the man of original ideas, progress
sive methods, the man of productive
force, the thinker. There is an ad-
vertisement up at the door of every
house of human endeavor for such
man. Great business concerns are
securing the country for men of this

lie Sueur.-Jacob Gish, present post
master, republican, who has held the
office for eight years past, was re-
appointed for four years and confirm
ed by the United States senate last
week. Mr.. Gish is retained in office
at the request of several hundred pat
rons of the office, who signed a peti-
ton asking for his appointment. Not
a single man approached, whether re-
publican, democrat, prohibitionist or
bull mooser refused to sign the petit
ton. 1t was a unanimous request and
is probably one of the very few ap-
pointments made under like condi-
tions. He has been good officer and
is retained for his value as a public
servant.

stamp; large combinations are look
ing for them as leaders. Merchants
need them, Insurance companies are
looking for them; they are wanted
everywhere in the business world. In
all walks of life.
The world wants leaders, men with
great executive ability, men with
stamina, men who have an abundance
of iron in their blood and lime in
their backbone. 1t needs aggressive
men, men whose blood is full of posi-
tive force, men of grit and stamina
these are the men who make things
move.
The man who is wanted everywhere
today Is born winner, the man who
is victory organized, the man who has
the habit of victory. These natural
winners have great self-confidence as
well as determination. They have co
lossal self-faith in their ability to over
come obstacles.
These great positive, forceful char.
acters are optimistic. Their ability is
not weakened by doubts and fears
and hesitations; they do not worry;
they are not able to do The things
they undertake. These are the sort OF
men that accomplish the great things
of the world, the giants that turn
neither to the right nor to the left
who do not go over, around or under
obstacles, but through them, and are
always equal to the occasion.
If you are ambitious to be some
thing more than an average individ-
ual, if you expect to step out of the
crowd and stand for something IN
particular, you must not do things as
everybody else does them; you must
inject superiority into everything you
| do; you must be original, inventive.

Some of the best people ever known
good companions, splendid friends
and extremely agreeable-have never
accomplished anything worthy of their
ability, simply because they had NO
stamina, or grit They were tame
commonplace; they lacked the fire
force. the originality and the push
that accomplish things.
People whose blood is full of posi-
tive force are the leaders, the aggres
sive men who get to the front They
do not lag and loiter behind, waiting
to be attacked. They take the init
ative and push ahead, regardless oil
obstacles. They go through life TAX

convinced that there is but one pow

SHALL WE USE FERTILIZERS
THIS YEAR

Many farmers are asking what
should be done about the use of
fertilizers this year. Many are con-
templating the abandonment of fer
tilizers completely l think this
would be a serious mistake. If there
was ever a time when a farmer need
ed to concentrate his efforts on n
few acres, it is this one. AS has al
ways been the case, it won't pay to
use commercial fertilizers heavily ia
trying to grow a heavy yield on a
poor soil which is devoid of humus
However, it will pay us to use lib
eral amount of fertilizers on a good
rich soil. So my advice is this:
turn or break your poor soils this
spring and at the proper time seed
them to cow peas or some other soil
builder.
A small amount of fertilizer will
pay you under this crop, but can be
left off without such serious loss
Try to grow an abundance of cora,
potatoes, syrup, vegetables, milk and
butter, poultry and everything else
that you can consume at home, then
grow every pound of cotton you can
possibly grow Cotton is our money
crop and will always be. 1t pays
better to grow a bale per acre than
it does to cultivate three acres for
the same amount.
l think the fertilizer bill should
and will be greatly reduced, but H.
should be by applying no fertilizers
to the washed-away soils contain
| ing 10 humus. ]. E. CREEL.
