 Sunday afternoon the following tel eeram was received by Captain Own bey. This telegram one of the pre- liminaries carried cat jest before the call c0- the border service, ana is tak- en to mean that the call for mobid- azation may come at ans time. It is clearly 8 preparatory telegram and follows:
 Organization will remain at
 home rendezvous until recruited
 to war strength. l50 men, Can
 vas surrounding country, conduct
 energetic recruiting campaign.
 Make contract for subsistence of
 men. Wire number of cots and
 blankets required to take care of
 men al local armory.
 This message was construed to be call for the mobilization of the To- cal company at the armory, but a few moments later the following was received:

 Monday morning the recruiting campaign started, and the local com pany has now been recruited to 56 men, seven men short Of peace streH- gth, or 65, and 92 men short of war strength
 Captain Ownbey has been notify ing all members Of the company to be ready at moments notice. and all members are sending in acknowledge ments of the instructions. Captain Ownhey has all men located except two, Clarence Patton, whose home IS in Forrest City, but who is now some where in Michigan; and Jake Lanni- gan, whose home is iq the southern part of the state. Besides the 56 men, there are sixteen members of Com pany 4, who have been furloughed to the reserve list, and who will prob ably be included in the call for mohi= lization.
 Of the 58 men, are out of the state, while 16 are in other parts of the state. All the boys have been notified, and many who have replied are anxious for the service.
 That the call for the mobilization of the local company is not far off maybe gained from the fact that orders were received here Wednesday cancelling the date Of the federal in= spectlon. The inspection was to have been held here Friday and Saturday, May and 5, and under the direction

GLENN'S FIGHT ON LABOR
John M. Glenn, sec'y Illinois Manu-
facturers' assn, has communicated
to his immediate public a list of some
of the new bills to be introduced in
the legislature, with the naive re-
mark that every plant owner
should inform himself as to the ma
ture of the measures referred to, so
that he can discuss the subjects in
diligently with the senator and rep
resentatives from his district" Any
one at all familiar with the mental
processes of this sinister apostle of
reaction can read between the lines
the order to apply negative voting
pressure upon the members of the
assembly. Among the bills he lists
the following: "
Anti-iniunctfpn, regulating issue
of injunctions in cases growing out
of industrial disputes concerning
terms of conditions of employment;
child labor, extending compulsory
school attendance to 16 years; wom-
an eight hour law; woman's mini
mum wage; compulsory compensa-
ton covering all lines Of human en-
deavor; state insurance; treating in
compensation act occupational dis
eases as accidents; increase in rates
of compensation; initiative and re-
ferendum; one day rest in seven; old
age pension; preferred wage lien;
weekly pay; ffty-car limit; providing
that all men engaged in repair of cars
and in building new cars shall be pro-
tected by sheds and the establish
ment of an inspection service to see
that the law is enforced; protection
of men working in compressed air

tunnels and mines; penalizing bosses
for selling jobs and extorting money
from workers; abOishing employ
ment agencies by furnishing those
who charge for procuring employ
ment for others; providing street car
men shall not work more than ten
hours in twelve; unit system of vo-
catiOnal education; universal free
text books; providing minimum
wages for teachers; right of teachers
to organize and affiliate with organ
lied labor and to notice prior to dis
missal from service; prohibiting mill
tia from doing police duty except
when state rights or state property is
jeOpafdized; creating a board of ex-
aminers for purpose Of examining
all persons employed in cutting, cur
ing or preparing meats and meat
products; health insurance, and deal
ing with unemployment.
Most of these bills represent the
general trend of thought among in
teligent, thinking people. Employers
who have incorporated some of the
welfare work indicated above into
their business relations with en-
ployes have secured very favorable
results both on the side of profit and
efficiency. Does the Illinois Manu-
facturers' assn wish to go on record
before the laboTing people of Illinois
as being opposed to their more gen.
eral enforcement by law? If not,
why have they chosen the bills indi-
Gated? Perhaps they wish to save
money for the state-or themselves.
If so, their dabbling in the above
prospective legislation borders on the
picayunish.
If they must be in politics, why
not throw their undoubted influence
toward legislation more unselfsh
and with infinitely more possibilities
for administrative economy for the
state and the state exchenuer9 As

get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment will pay of his indebtedness.
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part of the farmer will be regarded as
business enterprise, just as 1t is now
considered beneficial for large COM
mercial institutions to borrow.
The Farm Loan act creates form
of indebtedness which peculiarly fits
the farmers needs. 1t recognizes that
the farming business is one of slow re-
turns.
So, 1t provides that q mortgage
made under the act shall be paid on
the amortization or installment plan
through long or short period Of
years. The mortgages may be made
to run from five to forty years, at the
option of the borrower, and they must
be paid off, interest and principal, in
equal installments through the period
of the loans. Permission is given to
pay all of the loan or any part Of 1t
on any interest paying date after it
has run five years.
To give the prospective borrower an
exact idea of the size of the payments
required annually to wipe out mort.
gage in given period, amortization
tables have been prepared. The fol-
lowing table shows the amount of an
nual payments required to extinguish,
in the period indicated, thousand
dollar loan bearing interest at Ave,
f1ve and half, and six per cent.

1t has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get
Is that which enables him to help him
self.
Some critics OF the Federal Farm
Loan act have charged that this act
makes 1t too easy for farmers to get
into debt, and that there will be a
tendency to overborrow.
A careful reading Of the bill will
show that this objection is met by
very carefully limiting the use to
which the borrowed money may be
put and by the requirement that farm
ers gradually each year must reduce
their Indebtedness.
The Farm Loan act was designed
to be helpful to the farmer of aver
age operations who has heretofore
been denied adequate credit. 1t wise
ly limits the loans to so per cent Of
the appraised value of the security,
because this Limitation makes the
security OF a high character, thus
satisfying the investor, and therefore
results in a lower rate of interest.
The use of the money is carefully
limited to the purchase of land, to
pay off existing indebtedness, to pur-
chase livestock, or to make any pro-
ductive improvement such as fencing,
drainage, buildings and machinery.
When money can be borrowed
cheaply for productive use, mortgage
becomes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer is enabled to

TAXES ON

...
Everything But the Old
Gray Cat Will Come With
in the Assessor s Reach
(Br Stair Correspondent. )

Bismarck, n. D.. Jan. IN the
ideas of the tax commission as en-
bodied in numerous bills which 1t has
showed into the senate are enacted into
law, it must needs be a very dilapi-
dated old gray cat which will escape
paying it's due share sof the cost of
state government, which the tax COM
mission evidently calculates to be
considerable.
Taxes are provided for every time
and place, thing and condition. Sem
ate Bill No, 81. introduced by Benson
and zieman, provides that all per-
sonal property shall be taxed in the
place where the owner resides. capital
stock and franchises where the prin-
cipal office of the owner is located, or,
if there is no principal office or place
of business, then the owner may be
gotten to in any section of the state
where he or. it, as the case may be,
may chance to be carrying. on ms
business. The bill provides that the
tax and revenue laws of this state
shall apply with equal force to any
person represented in this state and
to business interests that may claim
domicile elsewhere. mo nonresident
shall transact business in this state
without paying a tax corresponding
to that which the state exacts of its
own citizens. #..
greatly endear the tax commission to
Sears, Roebuck & Co... Montgomery
Ward & Co., and other authors Of
prairie bibles which are very gener-
ally circulated in North Dakota, to
say nothing of several score of deal
ers in joyous juices who have inn
.provements on farm lands. which are
assessed at only per cent of the ac-
tual value. Also noted in this class
are wearing apparel, jewelry, stock
other than that in banks and similar
unnecessaries.
Thus by offering the farmer a class
three schedule for improvements on
farm lands, the tax commission hopes
to satisfy the worthy tiller of the
soils ambition to get to the specu-
lative land holder who has been pay
ing less taxes all the time because he
has no improvements on his land, and
at the same time, the tax commission
hopes to realize g. tidy little sum from
this item of per cent on farm i'm
provements with, which to bolster up
a treasury whose tottering condition
is a matter of much concern to the
new administration.
