CHINESE OBJECT TO

Picking, Jan. 30.--rAnnounccment
from Shanghai that Lieutenant-gen-
cral Aoki is to be stationed at the
Japanese consulate at that point as 4
sort of military attache has created
furry in Peling The assignment
Of military officer OF General Aoki's
rank and wide experience to the
Shanghai consulate is interpreted hy
the Chinese press to mean trouble
for the Chinese government and the
laying of broad plans for some sort
of military movement on the part Of
Japan.
From what is known of General
Aoki's predictions his presence in
Shanghai gives fair grounds for mis-
giving on the part Of those whose
interests lie in the preservation Of
peace and order IN China. The gem
eral is reported TO have been very
deeply interested in the revolution OF
1911 nd TO have had close associa-
tions that the rebels who rose against
the government in 1913. 1T is motor
ious that Shanghai in the headquar-
ters OF the despcradoes who wish to
create condition OF anarchy in
China, and it is equally notorious that
what arms they are able TO secure
are sent by the Chinese refugees in
Japan. In these circumstances the
presence of General Aoki in Shanghai
is. to say the least. remarkable.

A STATE WITHOUT TAXES.
(Anaconda Standard.)

N4AtdNOllhtt
Instead of being threatened with ex-
cessive taxation as is the case in
many states, Wyoming is threatened
with no taxation at all, and is likely
to be the first state in the union where
taxes are not levied for the support OF
the state government
The income of the state derived
from fees. lands royalties and interest
on investment last year was $500, -
90, while the amount received from di-
rect taxation was $S6s,497.5l. There
was cash balance on hand at the be-
ginning of the year of $71S,426.S0.
The actual expenses Of Wyoming were
81, 305,5SS.21. After paying all eX-
penses and making some investments
in permanent funds there is carried
over a cash balance Of s6S0.993.60.
With this balance and the income
which will be derived this year from
oil and mining development, royalties
on state lands. leases and fees. the
state will easily be able to get along
n year at least without any direct tax

"ToRRENsv LAND TRANSFERS

tNouths Companion)
The United states inherited its lane
laws from England. They were good
laws in their time, but they are now
antiauated, cumbersome and costly. At
long intervals, and In most cases after
prolonged agitation and earnest oppo-
sition, thirteen Of the states OF the
union have adopted reform so sim
pie and effective that it is strange that
more of the states have not followed
their example.
Under the old system a man who
bargains for piece of land,
whether a farm or city lot, must, If he
is cautious, hire conveyancer to eX-
anime the title for in no other way
can he be sure whether the holder Of
the land has right to sell IT, If he
does not hire a conveyancer. he runs
the risk of sooner or later finding his
own rlGht to the property attacked. II
he has quitclaim deed he must him
self defend his right; II he has war
ranty deed he can throw the defense
back upon the seller; but even then
he runs the risk that the seller is not
responsible, or not solvent.
sixty years ago Sir Robert Torrens
an Australian statesman. devised the
system of land registration that bears
his name Under IL an owner registers
his title to land by state authority, and
the state guarantees the validity of it,
Thus the purchaser is relieved OF
doubts and Of a large part of the ex-
pense of conveyanclng. II is a reform
peculiarly necessary and useful in the
United States, where land changes
hands frequently. although not quite
so necessary in England, where leases

of transferring the right to occupy

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

The wonders that may be wrought
by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS economies
are not all to be found In Germany
The agricultural colleges OF the Unit.

This movement has been a verita-
bic emancipation proclamation for
the boys and the girls Of the coun-
try. Pig clubs, corn clubs and toma-
to clubs have enrolled In the southern
states more than 10000 farm chill

LOCAL PRODUCTION IN
GERMANY SATISFACTORY

Berlin, Feb. 15--The production
OF coal in Germany in 1915 made ;
very good showing in spite of TIL
shortage of labor caused by the war
The years output reached a total O
146,712, 900 tons. or only 1880 DOT
less than for 1914, and 44,S00, 000 les!
than for the record year 1918. o.
brown coal, or Ignite, the production
last year was the greatest ever known
having reached sS,36g.000 tons, OF
about 100000 more than for 1919
Coke production also kept up remark
ably we'll 1t amounted to 26,359, 900
tons, or about 100000 tons less than
for 1913 The production of brick
etts from both coal waste and Ignite
| was the largest ever known.
| In view OF the fact that fully one
| third of the miners were called into
service upon the outbreak of the war
and that further considerable with
drawals proceeded during the past
twelve months, the production of coal
lis regarded as remarkable The labor
supply has been kept up as far as
possible in several ways. Men who
had worked hitherto above ground or
as assistants to the regular miners
took the places of the latter when
called into service, so as this could
be done; and women and younger
boys were taken on to do the work
above ground. Prisoners Of war have
also been employed in considerable
numbers, partly as full miners, but
for the most part as unskilled. help
above and under ground.
The production Of coal would have
been even greater than it was, but for
the fact that, during the December
quarter. marked shortage of coal
cars prevented the full operation Of
the mines. Owing to the scarcity of
labor and the increased cost of living
miners wages have been advanced. !
The latest available figures give 7.04
marks as the wage of the highest !
class of miners for shift of eight |
hours in the great mining district |
around Essen. which compares with I
about six marks at the beginning of |
the war. In the northern part Of the 1
coal district wages run as high as 1873 |
marks. While nearly all commodities
have risen in price pretty sharply in
Germany since July, 1914, the adj
vance IN coal has been very moder-
ate. There have thus far been two
changes in the scale, amounting to 3
marks, or ~ cents ton. This makes
a good showing compared with Eng
land, where Cardiff coal has risen
$1.20 and Durham bunker coal $3.50.
