Of a days labor, are among the mat
tiers sought to be regulated. How
ever, there is no disposition to inter-
fere with the valuation and taxation
of physical property within the re-
cognized powers Of the states.
The present temper Of Administra-
ton leaders, and Congress, is to dis
countenance continuance of the ex-
listing dual system of State and Fed
eral railroad control and to remedy
the evil by assuming full authority
on behalf of the Federal Govern
ment.
As one of the results of the pre-
sent inquiry it is probable that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
will be enlarged and its powers ex~
tended to cover all carriers of in
terstate commerce. It is suggested
that districts for the hearing of the
cases and the settling of disputes
may be established, somewhat along
the plan of the federal judicial sys-
tenn, where district judges try local
causes of action. If this plan pre-.
walls, the right of appeal to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, as
now established in the National Ca
pital, will doubtless be provided for.
It is also suggested that regional d.
visions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission may be established, as
has been done in the control of the
banking spstem of the country.
Perhaps, after all, it is true that
the United States is entering upon
a new era in it's industrial affairs.
In any event, Congress and the Ad-
ministration never undertook big
ger or more important task than
that of "settling the abroad ques-
tion,' which it now seems to be at
lacking in earnest.

A brother editor remarks that he
would rather have a good stomach
than a million bucks. We, modest
ly, would prefer to hog both.
The Angora goat is said to he
noted as an Indifferent mother. This,
however, does not necessarily signi-
fly that mothers in high society are
Angoras.
Some men, like the cinder in your
eye, are remembered chiefly for the
smart they leave behind.
If they keep on raising hell over
in Europe much longer the devil may
have to change his place of abode.
This war will certainly have a uni
que place in history. It is creating
more widows than heroes.
Some people are so pestiferous
one can hardly tell whether they are
bugs or just plain nuts.
Stop! Do you remember the time
when you was the most anxious Of
all times to make a good impression?
And do you remember the fool brake
you made? We all do it.
Why should you make howl when
your wife insists on her moral right
to vote? She never makes q kick
when you invade the Kitchen and
wash the dishes.

BUYERS Of BAlED HAY
WARNED TO BE on LOOKOUT

The department is Investigating
the practice Of some shippers of hay
Of veneering or facing the bales. We
neering consists in feeding to the
baling machine on occasional forkful
of hay that is of higher grade than
the bulk of the lot being baled and
manipulating the forkful in such a
way that the high grade hay covers
the outside of the bale, making the
bale appear to contain better hay
than it actually does contain. The
National Hay Association has re-
quested the department to cooperate
with it in trying to eliminate this
practice, believed to be dishonest.
Buyers of baled hay are warned to
be on the lookout for this practice
in order to avoid accepting on a cur
sorry examination a lower grade Of
hay than they intend to purchase.

At The END Of
The GOOD ROAD

To see what really happens at the
end of the good road, a public road
specialist Of the department recently
had observations made in different
sections of the country. The obser-
vers noted many country-bound
teamsters who drove two loaded wa
CONS, hitched one behind the other,
to the end of the good road, and
then found it necessary to leave one
wagon by the roadside to be return
ed for later,while all the power of
their teams were devoted to hauling
a single wagon over the unimproved
road.
Farmers bound for the market fire.
quently were sent to haul wood and
similar products to the beginning of
the good road, there dumping them,
and returning for a second load.
When this arrived, the two loads
were consolidated and easily hauled
by single team the remaining dis
lance to the market over the i'm
proved highway.
In one section of the country
where oxen are used, teamsters were
observed to bring their loads over
the dirt roads with two or three
yokes Of oxen. When the beginning
of the good roads was reached, the
teamsters would unhitch the extra
animals and finish their journey with
single yoke.

ADVOCATES CHANGE IN
SYSTEM OF TAXATION

been abandoned in all progressive
European countries, and a numebr of
the Canadian privinces have ceased
to use it. It was said in the report
of the Minnesota Tax Commission
for 1912, that: 1.-THE personal prop
erty tax stands condemned by every
thoughtful student of taxation, as
the easiest to evade, as incapable of
equitable enforcement, and hence un-
just in application"
The present system rewards the j.
1ler and Furnishes the thrifty. The
working man who by his industry
;aves enough to build a home is pun
ished by taxation system that in
creases his burden. This same sys-
tenn rewards the Spectator who
aolds his lands out of the reach of
those who would cultivate them. The
SPECTATORS holdings increase in VAL
ue with the growth of the country,
but the prevailing SISTED of taxation
retards community development and
encourages land speculation.
The Spectator should be compel
led to bear his share of the expenses
of government or dispose of his idle
lands to people who would cultivate
them. Remove the restrictions in
the way of taxation on improve
ments and thus atimulate building
operations and bring down rents to
fair and reasonable figuers.
That the burden of taxation should
be shifted from personal property
and improvements and based upon
the value of the land, is coming to
be accepted more every day. To tax
personal property and improvements
is to tax the products of labor, re-
strict production and curtail the
power of labor to create wealth.
In 1908 the people of Minnesota
passed the wide open tax amendment
providing that taxes should be uni
form upon all classes of subjects.
This was put into the constitution
to enable legislature to place the
tonnage tax upon iron ore. The ton
mage tax bill was passed, but later
vetoed by Governor johnson.
The wide open" tax amendment,
however, remains on the statute
books and allows the change to be
in our taxation system in accord
ance with the suggestions outlined
above. In practically every other
state in the union a constitutional
amendment is necessary before the
changes can be made in the taxation
system such as we advocate.
But this is not necessary in Min
nesota. All we have to do is to in
terest the people sufficiently so that
they will demand that the legisla-
ture take action.
Why tax household goods? It
costs as much to collect this tax
as the revenue from it amounts to.
Why punish the householder because
he has the enterprise to collect at
tractive furniture? Is it right? Nor
is to just to tax a man because he
improves his home and permit the
nonresident speculator to evade pay
ing his share Of the expenses of gov
eminent.
What gives land it's value? When
two or more persons desire the same
piece Of land, value rises. If more
people desire that piece of land the
value goes still higher.
Morally this value belongs to the
community, the creator of that VAL
ue. Let us begin now to shift the
burden Of taxation from the backs
Of the people who uphold the COM
munity and place it where it belongs.
