MILK MEN TAKE NOTICE.

We know OF no class OF producers"
who need some sort OF official protec-
ton more than the danymcn. The
great mass OF our farmers market
their milk at local creameries or milk
stations; and they are, or have been,
absolutely at the mercy of the people
who run these plants. They must take
whatever test is given them, with
nobody to supervise the accuracy of
the test, etc, etc.
We now want to call the attention Of
these milk producers to the partial
remedy which is put in their hands by
the last Legislature Here is the pro-
vision of the aw:
"On petition of twenty-five patrons
of any dairy, creamery. or cooling sta
ton. the State Board of Agriculture
shall. through its duly authorized
agent, make an inspection OF such
dairy. creamery or cooling station, in
Guiding the testing and weighing OF
the milk or cream of each patron.
The State Board of Agriculture
shall make such regulations and in
spections of diaries, creameries and
cooling stations as ii may deem neces-
sary for the protection of the public
health and the promotion of the Dairy
Industry"

DEFENDING THE TAX RATE.

1t is interesting to see loca! Demo-
cratic papers defending our enormous
county and state tax rate, because
Everything is higher these days
Well granted. But the highest thing
we have is a lot of high-priced jobs
for the political fellows, who have
been piled on the taxpayers backs
until the worm ought to turn, if it
had any turn in it. When you go to
pay your tax bill this year, you will
''hit the ceiling" And then your
Democratic paper will tell you not to
mind. because "everything is higher
these days. And you viii swallow
that stuff like soothing syrup. Mean
while the great army of State and
county job-holdets who are living off
of your gullibility, will step round the
corner to smoker at you Easy lkes.'

EASY TO ROB.

The opposition in the counties to the
proposed New Assessment by the
State Tax Commission continues to
grow. Frederick and Washington
counties have been joined by Balti-
more county and Dorchester county,
where the county commissioners have
fatty refused to appoint any asses
sors and have determined to make
every effort to prevent any attempt
at a new assessment. How successful
they will be in their efforts remains to
be seen, but the protest is significant
of the fact that these officials do not
recognize the justice and propriety of
this attempt to increase the receipts
of the State treasury. 1t is bald
assault on the value OF real estate and
if the Democratic administration can
get away with it and the people stand
for it, then conditions in this State
may be regarded as well nigh hope
less. By a shameless multiplicity of
useless offices, by the most WaEton and
wastetul extravaganza, the Demo-
cratic administration brought this
State so hopelessly into debt that
special bond issue had to be author
lied to enable the State to pay its bill.
In the face Of this condition the Demo
cratic rulers Of this State realized
that they must get more money"
The State and county tax rates were
already raised so high as TO make
them fear another raise. They would
get it in a different way-by increas-
ing the assessment The State Com
mission, being composed entirely of
lawyers, decided that this increased
assessment should be laid solely 0n
real estate. And so it was ordered.
But with an increased tax on real es-
tate what is real estate going to be
worth in this State? For instan:e.
in this county this year, every owHer
of farm or a house or lot will pay
a tax rate of SLIGO on the hundred
dollars: if in town about 1920. If
this new assessment raises the valua-
ton placed on this class of property,
then next year his taxes will he very
much higher than they are this year
and and sakes, they are outrageous
now.
Where is the thing going to end?
How much is it going TO take to sat
isfy the voracious appetite of these
political Commands?
Meanwhile the people patiently
fork over" their taxes. and continue
to love and vote for the fellows that
rob them more and more every year
because the people are so easy 10 rob.

BOSH.

The admirers of the Wilson admin
istration are making a laundering lot
of fuss about the "Rural Credits Bill"
They are loudly proclaiming its Sim
mense value to the farmers" Right
here we want to issue a challenge in
the shape of defiance to any one of
these shouters to show any farmer in
this State wherein it will be of any
value to him at all. 1t is easy to talk
through ones hat, and we will bet a
Mexican peso that not one in thous.
and of these shouters has ever ex-
amined the bill. The best cure for a
lot of their "hot air" would be some
intelligent acquaintance with the bill
itself.
1t is possible that there are sections
Of the country where this bill may be
of some little temporary benefit, tho
W. have our doubts of even that. We
have no doubt at all about its being
of no benefit whatever to farmers in
this section.
1t has not single feature that can
in any wise appeal to our farmers, so
far as We can see. And We have not
as yet found a single one of its loud
acclaimers that has been able to point
to i single feature that would make
the thing serviceable to our people.
1t is so easy to shoot off lot of
twaddle that means nothing-and the
farmer vote is expected to be hood
winked thereby. Nit.

EMIL WIESE KILLED
BY EXPLOSION
Instantly Killed While Thaw-
ing Out Faucet on Gaso-
line Tank.

Emil +. Wiesc, farmer living ~
miles southwest of Eldridge, was in
stantly killed Sunday afternoon
while trying to thaw out a tap on a
metal gasoline barrel, which had
become frozen, with a common torch
The intense heat of the torch caused
the gasoline to explode, blowing the
upper part Of Mr.. Wiese's head com
pletely off and hurting his body l6
or S feet from the tank His cloth
ing was saturated with gasoline,
which caught fire and burned his
body terribly.
MIR. and Mrs. Wiesc had been vis-
iting Mrs. Wicsc's parents at James
town, Mr.. and Mrs Schaumbcrg, 303
n. Second Ave, earlier in the day,
leaving for their home about $50 in
the morning. Upon arriving home
they had dinner and Mr. Niesc had
just gone out to do his chores when
Mrs. Wiese heard the explosion and
rushed out of the house to find her
husbands body in flames.
Taking her five months old baby
in her arms Mrs. Wiese ran to the
lIohenhaus farm, about mile dis
tant, only to find that there was no
one at home. Going a short distance
further she secured help at the
school house where services were be-
ing held.
The barrel was a regular O-gallon
metal tank and was standing on end
with the spigot pointing upward. 1t
is SUPPOSED to have contained only
about gallon of gasoline which
would tend to make the explosion
more severe than if it had been full
since it would allow a larger space
for the gas. The torch used by Mr..
Wicse was made Of piece Of wire
and a small rag saturated with oil.
DR.. Lloyd DePuy, coroner. stated
that the top Of Mr.. Wiese's skull
was blown clear over the house and
that the barrel must have gone
nearly 300 feet into the air when
the explosion occurred.
DR.. Movius of jamestown was
called but his services were Of lit
tie value as Mr.. Wiese must have
been killed instantly. The deceased
leaves a wife and five months old
child Mrs. Wiese, who was former
ly Miss Minnie Schaumberg, is at
present with her parents in this city.
Leo Wicse of jamestown is a cousin
Of the deceased.

DEMAND HELD
UNTENABLE
(By the Associated Press)


Amsterdam (Via Londan), Dec.
2O.-Commenting on Premier Lloyd
Georges speech, the Tegcliche Rumd-
schau, of Berlin, says:
Preparation could be demanded
by England only if Germany had de-
clared war on England; or, if we
were to blame for the war, and if we
had committed a crime against the
international law, andiif we had been
defeated" -e---.A ~
The Lokal Anzeiger takes the view
point that Mr.. Lloyd Georges re-
marks about reparation are not val
liable, inasmuch as nothing has been
said thus far about peace conditions.
This newspaper continued:
"If Lloyd George means to post
pone satisfactorily England's desire
for peace until the time when the
Entente is successful in conquering
the German armies and those of its
allies, the whole of Europe, as we'll
as Lloyd George, knows full we'll this
announcement means eternal war,
unless in the power of Germany to
bring it to an earlier termination
than Lloyd George supposes."

TERRIBLE DEED
OF INSANE MAN
Cass County Man Kills Neigh
Dor and Suicides.

Fargo, Dec. 18-Otto Suket was
insane when he killed John Deacon
and then killed himself, coroner's
jury found this afternoon.
Saturday afternoon, Otto Suket
aged 40, a farmer living near Hag-
CERT, N. D., who had ten minutes be-
fore murdered neighbor, John Dea-
con, was diverted from pursuing his
wife with a loaded shotgun, and ran
into a woodshed and blew out his
brains. His son, Walter, told his
father that the sheriff was pursuing
him. Deacon was found lying in a
pool of blood in the threshold OF his
own back door.
John Deacon was bachelor who
lived in a small shack near the Suket
home across the river. The warn
ing given by his son and shouted to
his father regarding the approach of
the sheriff undoubtedly led to saving
the life of Mrs. Suket and possibly
her children, who otherwise would
have been included in the wholesale
slaughter. Mrs. Suket had fled to a
neighbor's house at Hoggart Station
on being informed of the death OF
Deacon by one of her nine children

and asked the little girl, Elsie, where

UNIVERSAL SERVICE
URGED BY SCOTT
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 19.-That the
national guard mobilization on the
Mexican border would have required
eight years training to prepare it to
meet trained troops, Major General
Hugh L. Scott, chief of the staff ar
my, declared today, in continuing to
urge universal military service sys-
tenn before the senate military COM
mittee.
fortunately the Mexicans were
unframed troops" he added, "and
our purpose to protect the border
was accomplished without firing a
shot. We never contemplated send
ing the national guard over the bor-
der until they were trained, altho
we sat up until or 3 o'clock every
morning at the war department ex-
pecting a message saying the fight
was on.
1--WE feel that the national guard
would have destroyed themselves in
marching had they been sent thru
that hard country"
General Scott said: There are
10000 Carranza troops around the
Pershing expedition and $4,000
more opposite Douglas, where great
American interests are located"

COMPULSORY
MILITARY
SERVICE
Wanted for the United States
by Army Heads.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Major
General Scott, chief of the staff
of the army, told the senate COM
mittee today that the army gen.
eral staff recommended, with
out apology, that the volunteer
system be discontinued because
the "time has come when this
country, unless it intends to
avoid war, at any cost, must re-
sort to universal liability to mil
itary training and service"
In his annual report, made public
December 8, it will be remembered
that General Scott declared that the
showing of the national guard mobi-
lized for border duty gave no salts
factory results, and that recruiting
campaigns for both regulars and
guardsmen have been practical fail
ures. General Scott's report said:
"In my judgment, the country
will never be prepared for defense
until we do as other great nations
do that have large interests to guard,
like Germany, Japan and France,
where everybody is ready and does
perform military service in time of
peace as he would pay every other
tax, and is willing to make sacrifices
for the protection he gets and the
country gets in return. There is no
reason why one woman's son should
go out and defend, or be trained to
defend, another woman and her son
who refuses to take training or give
service. The only democratic method
is for every man in his youth to be-
come trained in order that he may
render efficient service if called upon
in war"
Taking up the question of the ma
tional guard in it's federal status
General Scott declares the training
period of IS days in three years pro-
vided by the new national defense
act is wholly inadequate.
"In my Judgment" he says, ''it
precludes this force from being made
fit for war service until it has re-
ceived at least six months addition.
and useless for war purposes fol-
many months.
General Scott claims that the vol
"give us the men we need for train
ing in peace or for service in war.
