The Union started something last
week when it called attention to the
provisions of the tax law that pro-
hibit the removal of structures,
minerals or timber from lands until
the taxes have been paid. For the
information of State Auditor Preus
we will state that the provisions
referred to were repeatedly enforced
by his predecessors in Office, and to
the great advantage of several
northern counties. -.

Superior, Wisconsin, INDUCES in a
recall election about every six
months, and last Tuesday: for the
second time within a year an effort
was made to dislodge Mayor "Silver
Joe" Konkel. Konkel was an easy
winner, carrying nine of the four
teen precincts. Recall elections may
be all interesting pastime, but that
is about all that can be said for
them. No matter how efficient a
public official may be, .disgruntled
individuals can always be found
ready to agitate a recall, and the
taxpayers foot the bills. :. -

jim Hin Te.,ifie..

James j. Hill. the greatest empire
builder in America, made some remarks
in this city last night on the subject Of
the proposed bilion-dollar loan to the
allies. Like everyone else who knows
anything of the questions involved, he
believes that the loan, or, at least,
large part of it, should be made; but
that is not the part of his utterances
to which the Journal wishes to draw
attention.
Mr.. Hill spoke of the financial revo-
luton which has changed this country
from a debetor to creditor nation in
single year, of the possibilities both
Of gain and disaster which such
change involves, and then said:
Fortunately, banking system has
been put into effect which makes it
possible for the country to handle it's
new interests without disturbance.
That rev banking system is the work
of the democratic party and especially
the work of President Wilson. It was
put through in the teeth of the fierce
est opposition from Wall street. It is
standing every test. 1t saved the
country from utter financial collapse
year ago last August and now it is pro-
viding the machinery tor guarding and
extending American commerce.
1t is working SO smoothly that the
country almost forgets it is there. But
the next time any partisan ranter be-
gins blathering about the Wilson adj
ministration being "hostile to busi-
ness,'' remind him of the federal re-
serve act and quote the words of Jas.

Music Cl...e. for Children.

Every child should have: some prepar-
atory work before being sent to the
keyboard. To meet this need, will
have weekly classes for children from
six to eight or more years of age. The
course, this year, is planned to extend
through period of thirty weeks, begin
ming on Oct. End, and closing the first
Saturday in May, giving two weeks
vacation at Holiday time.
The children learn correct hand and
finger position, correct finger, hand,
wrist and arm action, different kinds of
tone and touch, all in the disguise of
play, SO that when they begin regular
piano lessons the following year, much
of the necessary work called drudgery
by most children and usually heartily
disliked, has already been done.
The work is very interesting, and my
experience in this work the past year
has shown me that the children who
take this preliminary training are more
advanced and are better able to cope
with new difficulties as they arise in
the private lesson, than are children
who have not had the advantage of the
class work.
Also, a great deal of nervous strain,
later on, is saved for both teacher and
child, and, incidentally, for the parent
For more interesting work can be given
when private lessons are begun. and the
child is more willing to practice.
Some keyboard work is of course
given, and as the work progresses, the
children are given little pieces, both in
solo and duet form.
The classes will. meet once week.
on Saturday, and no home work will be
required.
The cost is very little, being only
$3.50 for the entire course of thirty
weeks, at the rate of dollar month.
