A GOOD SUGGESTION

LIE Roy Cady, associate horticulturalist
at the State Agricultural college, makes
the following good suggestion:
It is said that the California Fruit
Growers association last year spent
5000, 900 in advertising in thirty maya
zines. Several private concerns are
spending large sums for advertising and
all are getting results, yet some Of us are
afraid to put even few dollars in adj
vertising in our local papers when we
want to sell our produce. It is a pretty
certain thing that well prepared and well
displayed advertising will sell produce
and many times pay for its cost

Entered as Second Glass Matter at the Post
Office at New Ulm. Minnesota
American Experts Wanted

If the war continues very long it is
likely that France, and possibly some,
other foreign countries, will be filed
with practical Americans. One regiment
of 'lumber7jacks" has been organized,
with fair sprinkling of Minnesota men
in it's membership, and another is in the
forming. These regiments are going to
cross the Atlantic to show the Frenchmen
how forestry work should be done.
Now another cry comes across the
water for railway men, and particularly
engineers, to help operate the roads of
France. This is not the first call, how
ever, for men of this profession for that
country. Within six weeks after the
first call came for men to help build,
rebuild and operate her military rail-
ways, nine regiments of 1880 men each,
were enlisted in this country, and all
the necessary equipment collected, ready
to go. Each regiment includes men in
every branch of railroad service, and
combined they are capable of building
a railroad from first to last and then
operating it. These nine regiments were
recruited one from each of the cities of
Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Pittsburgh,
New York, Boston, St. Louis, San
Francisco and Philadelphia.
In response to the second call there
has been authorized tho formation of
five more regiments Of American railway
men, Of 1900 each. and. for >eno,,ph
additional volunteers to increase the
original regiments Up from j .O8O men
20 l'ooo men each. This means that
$1,000 experienced railway men will
soon be out of the country for a more or
less extended term.
The same order provides also for the
organization OF special and technical
engineer troops, Including six regiments
and additional smaller units of engineers.
With the thousands of railway men
being called into the service of the
United States, it would be strange if
there is not Shortage of men to carry
on the work at home.
A feature of the situation, possibly not
generally known, is that practical rail-
way men who have been drawn into the
army under the CONSUMPTION act may be
transferred to the railway or engineer
regiments.

New Food Marketing Plam
BIZ Senator Owen

Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma
senate, which if it becomes a law, will
revolutioize the marketing of all farm pro-
ducts in this country. The bill is aimed
ito benefit both producer and consumer,
and to absolutely do away with the OBJ
noxious food speculator, and even cut out
the profits of the middle man in the. large
cities. The bill is very explicit and puts
the entire business under federal control,
=altho the details are worked out by
county cooperative companies.
In explaining his bill, Mr.. Owen re-
.cognizes the power of the country press,
in cooperating for county upbuilding
purposes.
The preamble Of the bill says that by
reason of the existence of unscientific
and costly methods in use in the buying,
selling and distribution Of farm products,
it is essential for the national security,
development, prosperity and general
welfare that permanent and enduring
plans for the encouragement of the agri-
cultural interests of the Nation be in
augurated and established by assembling
under properly planned cooperative
financial organization. This is to be
governed and operated principally by
the farmers and the people of rural COM
munities, but directed and supervised by
central governing body under federal
control. The object and purpose of this
organization is to prevent local and gener-
al scarcity, monopolization, boarding, in
furious speculation, manipulation and
private control of the products of the
farm, and the economical distribution
and movement of the same. 1t is also
to establish and maintain federal
supervision of the methods of handling,
buying, vending, distribution and trans
portation of such products.
Mr.. Owens law would have co-opera-
tive companies, with a range Of capital
stock according to the population,
formed in each county in the United
States, to be under the control Of a
Federal Board, Of five members, includ-
ing the Secretary of Agriculture, who
would be chairman ex officio; the other
four members 80 be appointed by the
President Of Che United States, by and
with the advice and consent Of the Senate.

Il follows that the real social problem
IS taxation Of minerals in the lands and
not the lands themselves.
The value Of the mine must be deter
mined as a coming producer Of mineral,
and that must be taxed, and not the
land itself, according to the reasoning
worked out by Mr.. st. John.

Mineral Land Taration

The Single Tax Year Book, recently
published, contains some useful infor-
nation on the subject Of mineral land
taxation. The author, Joseph D. Miller,
points out some of the difficulties in
assessing both forest and mineral lands
in way that the merest novice may
understand.
Mineral lands differ from almost any
other property. While the Improvement
Of city property or farm lands causes
their increase in value, the use of
minerallands causes their destruction and
they eventually become worthless. The
site value of a city lot or even the site
value of a farm, is not exhausted by its
use; but the only value of mine is in
the product that must be taken away in
order to realize the value. In most cases it
is impracticable to determine in advance
the total productive capacity Of a mine,
and even if this could be determined accu-
rately, the time of exhaustion would de-
pend upon the rapidity of of the working,
and in turn would be influenced by the
market price Of the product.
What is true of mineral lands is also
true Of gas or oil wells or quarry.
Nevertheless, says the Year Book,
mineral lands have value and can be
taxed just as well, at least by the appli-
cation of the single tax principles, as
under the ordinary methods Of taxation.
Mr.. Miller says that to determine the.
rental value Of nom producing mineral
properties offers some difficulties, but
these are not insurmountable. A fair
estimate can be made by comparisons.
The following is quoted from the Year
Book: s
"A practical compromise for some time
to come would be a combination Of a
tax or assessed value of the mine (Which
would take part Of the rental value and.
which would be heavy enough to dis
courage holding mines out Of use,) and
a royalty or production tax based upon
either the value or the tonnage Of the
output.
z Cecil =. St. John, writing Tor The
Public magazine, takes issue with Mr..
Miller, declaring that such lands have
no true rental value, or IN other words,
he says that to show the true rental
value OF a mine IS not only difficult
and perplexing, but is absolutely and
forever impossible. This, not because
