Taking their Pictures

Photographer Henry Johnson
5 a busy man these days for he
is doing more picture taking
than he has done in many a day.
Henry has been assigned the
work OF taking pictures of the
employees of the Dupont Powder
company at Barksdale and as
there is now some sixteen hun
dred men at work at the plant
it gives some idea of the size OF
the Db Mr.. Johnson has under
taken.
Each employee OF the plant is
having his picture taken with a
mum Der plate across his breast
and these pictures are used to
identify the workmen as they
pass to and from the works.
Eacn man Is gwen mum Der
plate with his name on one side
and the company name on the
other.
From this time on it will be
necessary for the plant employ
ees to carry these tags in order
to gain admission to the plant.
The company is taking every
precaution to prevent everyone,
except employees, from enter
ing the grounds of the company
and their methods seem TO be
very effective.

Heinz Representatives Look
ing Over Field
Enthusiastic Meeting Held
at the Commercial Club
During Afternoon.

HI. H. Cowan. of Portage. Wis.
state representative, and I. v.
Ellzey of Grand Rapids. Mich,
of the Growers Service Depart
ment of the H. J. Heinz Pickle
company, were in the city Wed
nesday afternoon and met with
an enthusiastic gathering OF
business men and farmers in re-
gard to the pickle proposition
for the ensuing year.
The letter announcing the
coming of the Heinz men was
not received until Wednesday
morning and the Commercial
Club Secretary Amos M. Hansen
Immediately got busy with the
telephones and called up num-
Der, inviting them to attend the
meeting and a good attendance
was the result. Had there been
more time before the meeting a
much larger attendance would
have been present.
The III. ]. Heinz company
erected large pickle vats in this
city last season and established
a nice sailing station and a large
amount of acreage was planted
but owing to the unprecedented
season and late frosts the pickle
&-.s.op throughout the Northwest
was practically failure. The
Heinz people have great faith
in this resion as a pickle country
and for that reason they were
not discouraged, despite their
heavy loss of last season, and
they are willing to try out their
proposition again providing the
required amount of acreage can
be secured, and there had ought
to be little trouble along this
line as all of the growers of last
year realize that it was an off
year and they are willing to try
out the proposition again from
the growers standpoint, rsaliz-
ing that success will crown their
efforts.
The growing of cucumber
pickles is a profitable business
as has been demonstrated in
other localities where the far
mers have tried it out and the
failure of the crop of last sea
son should be no discouragement
to the farmers of this section
when it is known that the yield
of the pickle fields of the past
year for the northwest was less
than ten per cent of the normal
crop.
The establishment of the salt
ing station in this city is q big

Many Houses to Be Erected
Coming Season
Building Boom in
History of City Prom
ised for this Year.

building line in Washburn Ethe
coming season according to the
best information at hand and
the year will undoubtedly go
down as one of the best in the
history of the city.
In addition to the two big
building projects under way
many individuals in the city are
also contemplating building
houses, which will give employ
ment to many people.
The H. H. Peavey company
has let the contract for eight
cottages to be completed this
spring. Contractors Sheridan
and Porter of this city have the
contract for six of these houses
while gentleman from Mime
sofa, who is now in the city, has
the contract for two more. The
houses to be built by the Peavey
company will be located on the
lots at the rear of the town hall
and will face northwest.
These houses will be one story
cottages, with small basement
and concrete block foundation.
The houses will be finished
throughout in fine shape and
will be little beauties when COM
pleted.
Messrs Sheridan and Porter
have already started the work
of digging the Easements and
the concrete work will be done
at once. 1t is understood that
three of these houses must be
completed by April lst and the
balance by May lst.
The other big building project
is for the E. l. Dupont company
and will consist of seven modern
residences. One of these will
be a new home for Superintend-
ent F. T. Beers and this will be
one of the finest residences in
the city. The Superintendent's
residence will be located on lots
on the corner of second avenue
and third street east, facing the
lake.
The other residences of the
Dupont company will be located
on east third street between
second and third avenues east.
All of the residences for the Du-
Pont company will be modes n
in every respect, concrete base
ments, heating plants, hot and
cold water, sewer, etc. and all
buildings will be two stories in
heighth and finished in the best
style. The work of building the
DUPONT houses will be started
as soon as spring opens up.
Individual Buildings
If those who are now consider
ing the building of residences
the coming spring carry out
their plans big things will be
doing in the building line.
Hiram Hansen is considering
building a modern bungalow on
lots on the corner of 4th street
and third avenue. This will
be a beauty in construction and
will cost in the neighborhood Of
three thousand dollars.
Postmaster John O'Sullivan
has under consideration the
building of a modern residence
on the corner of first avenue and
sixth treet.
Frank S. Parker is also con-
sidering building a fine residence
the coming year.
B. A. Wiechmann is now
negotiating for the purchase of
lots on which he will build a
fine bungalow.
George T. Fox has in mind the
building of fine residence on
his lots on End street. between
Central and first avenue west.

PRESIDENT, CONGRESS
AND TEAMWORK

rs 5t1ltME 3&I
At the beginning of bis administra-
ton the president as the leader of his
party asked for teamwork, and got it.
| The democrats In both houses of con-
gress consulted him, and, in nearly ev-
erything, followed him. Indeed, the
| charge resulted that he was the whole
team. AT any rate, a good deal was
| accomplished, and in the recent cam
| paign the record was successfully quot
ed in support of the appeal for a second
Term for him.
The second term having been voted,
he president renews his proposition for
teamwork, and takos practical steps to
secure it. The presence by invitation
of Speaker Clark and Leader Kitchen
at the White House on Monday night
inaugurated the policy for this session.
Both knop the congressional ropes
thoroughly. The president has never
served in congress. Hence the value
of a conference between the official WHO
is to recommend legislation, and Two
officials who are to look after the rec
concentrations,
Outside of the supply bills the most
important propositions relate to a meas.
ure or measure supplemental of the so
called eight-hour law, and to the ex-
eessive cost of living. In the language
Of the street, both strike the people
where they live. The market basket
is the most intimate of house institu.
tons; and ii the eight hour law is to
stand and be broadened aud strengthen
ed. those affected must provide for it,
or the control of railroad properties will
pass to the federal government.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Kitchen, while
rot committing themselves as to details,
assured the president of CO operation in
his effort to secure action on matters
he thinks pressing That is to say.
they will employ the machinery of the
house to facilitate discussion and action
on measures presented in furtherance
of his views.
How to reduce the excessive cost Of
living if it can be done by congressional
action, opens a wide field for debate
and will probably bring into action
every man whose constituents have felt
the present pinch, and who is figuring
on retaining public favor at home.

were taxed on what they wore and
ate; the rich were taxed just so much
and no more.
The injustice was seen and the need
remedied. Today we have the income
tax and the federal inheritance tax.
Neither has yet yielded what was ex-
pected of it. But as time goes on few
entitled to pay can hope to escape
either tax. The tax dodgers may sue
coed for a time, but tax lodging has
never been successful. 1t is said that
there is nothing sure in this world but
death and taxes-and it is well said.
Already the federal inheritance tax
law passed a few months ago, has be-
gun to bear fruit. There is only $780,
600 to the credit of the government as
yet, but the estimate is that this tax
alone will bring $75, 000, 600 per year,
at least, when it is in good working
order. When Hetty Green. the richest
woman in the country, died and left
her son 300, 600. 900 the federal govern
ment, had the law been III effect, would
have been enriched by $40, 900, 900.
True, there may be attempts by divis-
ion of estates, before demise, to defeat
the purpose of the act but this plan, in
the end, must fail as all other attempts
to defeat the tax law have failed.
1t costs the government now, with
the increased army and navy expendi-
lures, well onto ST, 400, 900, 900. 1t is
expected, on account of the change in
the law, that next year the government
will get $3.50, 900 900 from the income
and corporation tax, and with $75, 00O,-
900 inheritance tax, there will be gath.
cred from this source s325, 900, 600.
Internal taxes and receipts from other
government sources ought to produce,
according to experts, 5000. 000, 600 next
year and the custom receipts more
than make up the balance.
Anyway, we are On the day of max
ing the rich bear a just end of the bur-
den. Now we should see what we can
do to economic in the affairs of govern
ment 80 that all burden rests as lightly
