never been greatly inclined to
find too much fault with existing
troubles feeling that the better
way is to try and work out some
constructive remedy. 1t seems
also that there has been so much
said and written during the past
two years about the calamities
under which we are laboring
big business, corrupt politicians,
wicked legislation, etc. etc. that
we have brought ourselves to be-
lieve that we are vastly worse
off than the facts would warrant.
for it is often said that we can.
find what we + looking for in
this world. Just to call to mind
the bank deposits Of our state
for the II year period from Nov
ember 1905 to November 1916,
the first year being a good crop
year and the latter a poor year,
it is interesting to note that while
the population was increasing
around 80 per cent, the bank de-
posits increased about $50 per cent
so this don't look like we were
going ''to the bad" entirely, and
may not be out Of place to refresh
our minds with these facts once
in a while. Great stress is being
laid on the Fedearl Farm Loan act
just being put in force, providing
funds at 5 per cent. "a splendid
thing too) yet it might be remem-
bered that the laws in force for
years in our state have provided
for 5 per cent farm loans to the ex-
tent of several million dollars, a
thing that our neighbor states Of
Minnesota and South Dakota are
just beginning to practice.
Don't think for a minute that l
am arguing for a standstill policy,
but, the men who have been in the
lead Of political movements in this
state during the past two years it
seems to me represent extreme
radical ideas that put in operation
in present form will work no bene-
fit to the state. This is not at
lacking them nor saying that they
are not honest in their beliefs, for
! started out with the proposition
that l believed the majority of
men are sincere in their political
opinions. Personally it is of no
Importance where an idea comes
from, or what it is called, and
in fact I supported some Of the
sotalled League Program before
the organization came into exist
ance. However, we must admit that
a good deal Of it is experimental.
SO my purpose is simply to present
some Of the legislative doings and
discuss some political issues that
differing views may be before the
readers Of this paper, in the hopes
that we may see that there are
two sides to some of the questions,
and, in time it may be discovered
that some Of the members of the
legislature who have been repres-
ented as against the farmers were
really safeguarding their interests
at least I know from contract with
them that they certainly felt that
they were protecting the best in
~terests Of the state. Personally
have always tried to be progress.

IT were to sum up a sentence the

ConscriptiOn of Wealth
to Pay Expenses of War
Urged by Lafollette

Washington. Aug. 81. - Conscrip-
tion of wealth to pay for the war
was urged in the Senate to-day by
Senator Lafollette, of Wisconsin, in
presenting the minority plans of the
Finance Committee for higher rates
in the war tax bill on war profits and
incomes. He suggested increasing
the S2,OO6,000,000 bill to more than
$500, 10000 by such increases with
elimination of consumption taxes. He
also urged that less bonds and more
taxes be authorized.
The Wisconsin Senator declared
governments We're demanding war
while their peoples were asking for
peace and contended that eighty-five
per cent. of the men drafted are pro-
testing. Large bond issues desired
by, wealthy interests, he contended,
initiate prices and increase the pres
ont high cost of living which he as
serted already imposes fifty to one
hundred per cent. war burden upon
the masses. The Liberty Loan, he
said, was made possible by an iron
hand within kid glove and persist
eht advertising methods"
The pending bill. Mr.. Lafollette
stated, provides by taxes but seven
teen per cent. of this years war eX-
penses while Great Britain imposes
twenty-siX per cent Next years war
expenses, he predicted, NAV reach
$3O,OOO,O 100000 or $4,000, 900 900 and
ne urged that the huge war profits
and incomes of wealthy persons nv
nlgher surtaXes be made to hear tba

u. s. FIGHTERS
LEARN TACTICS
IN SHAM BATTLE
Storm Trenches Back of
Battle Lines to See How
1t Is Done
BY Associated Press

American Training Camp in
France, Aug. 21.-Training in some
of the American battalions has pro-
gressed to such a point that sham
attacks on the trench system are be-
ing carried out with q degree akin
to actual warfare. Thus far artillery
hre has been only theoretical, but be-
fore fore long tie troops expect to have
the experience of watching the effect
of real artillery upon the trenches.
The marines are having some es-
peclally lively engagements this week
with their French instructors. French
chaSSeurS acting as the enemy have
been making attacks upon the ma
rines' trench system with Dewey
Farragut, Porter and Samson trenches
as the battle objectives. The French
also have been attempting to block
and hold communication trenches
known as Ohio, Mississippi, Delaware
and Potomac. 1t will be seen that
the marines trench nomenclature is
based upon the naval heroes and
rivers of the United States.
Short Resistance
The marines have been making
stout resistance and wherever the
enemy penetrated their lines theN
organized a counter attack which
quickly elected the intruders. The
real object Of these preliminary at
tacks is to get the officers and men
acquainted with what are known al
the front as operation orders. 1t is
the first step toward learning the
rudiments of a highly organized part
of modern warfare where every steu
and every detail is worked out in
advance on a prearranged plan and
must be strictly adhered to.
one great difficulty of real war
tare, however, is the fact that in
battles with the marines the enemy
has aCcommodatingly allowed q COPY
of his operation orders to fall into
the hands of the defending garrison
This will be changed later and the
American trench garrison will be
called upon to resist surprise attacks
in force.
Another valuable feature in sham
battle exercises is in teaching Ameri-
cans the great Importance of what is
known as laison work-the main.

forty feet and then turned over.
