Dill had Tor It's purpose the conserving
of the remaining public lands for the use
of all who wished to become farmers.
It also provided in addition the acqu;-
sition of lands privately owned. It
guarded against land speculation by a
provision for government retention of
title and for payment into the public
treasury of the full rental value of the
land. The measure also protected set
tiers from unjust state laws which require
taxes to be levied on labor or it's products.
By the passage of this law many city
laborers and those of the unemployed
classes would have taken advantage of
it's provisions to secure an independent
living from the land. The production
of food would have been stimulated, and
the supply would have been much larger.
Congress, however, is not alone to
blame. Many of the states have COM
mitted equally serious crimes. They in
clude Missouri, Oregon, California and
several others. Probably the most strik-
ing instance is that of Missouri. In the
year 1912 the voters of that state by an
overwhelming majority, rejected a
measure which if it had been adopted,
would have forced into use thousands of
acres Of valuable land withheld for
speculative purposes. Monopolistic in
terests used their influence to deceive
the people, and they were led into OPP
position by false statements concerning
the proposition. Ignorance and pre-
JUDGE were appealed to in the most high
handed manner. Lawless violence and
intimidation were even resorted to as q
means of withholding the truth from the
voters. In Oregon the voters acting on
the advice of the monopolistic press,
have several times defeated measures
that would have relieved the situation to
large extent. The same mistake shas
been made in other western states.
Every one who had hand in defeating
these bills, which had for their purpose
the bringing of vacant land into use thru
substitution of land value taxes for taxes
on labor, have Selped to create the
present food shortage. I
At the present time, more than any
other, there is need Of taking rental
value of land for public use. There
should be no delay in pushing thru
Congress a Constitutional amendment
abolishing the unreasonable provision
requiring land value taxes to be APP
portioned according to population:
Any legislator, national or state, who
blocks the way to increase land value
taxation becomes responsible for con-
tinuing and making worse the present
serious situation.

Wanted Parents. Approual,

It begins to look as tho the women's
clubs of Minnesota were waking up to
the necessity Of .furn ishing the children
of the state with: wholesome picture
food" to take the place of the excite
ment. they have been living upon since
the Wild West pictures and others better
and worse began to absorb the play
time of hundreds of thousands of chill
dren. New Ulm is getting an idea or
two along this line as well as other cities
and the Women's Clubs and the local
theatres are planning to put on shortly
a series of child life and fairy story films
that will give the children all the Joy
our, Grimm's Fairy Tales and Uncle
Remus Animal stories furnished us
when we were children plus the added
bliss of actually seeing the beautiful
princesses who were so kind and lovely,
the brave knights so handsome and
good and the dear funny little animals
whose lives have been made so interest
ing to the children of past generations
by the stories of famous writer's. The
move is indeed a good one and should
receive heartiest support

Enlistment OF Wealth Is Need

While Congress is laying plans to pass
a taxation law that will, according to
some OF the big financiers, crush the life
out of thousands of small business firms,
the Qua ranty Trust Company of New
York, is urging the enlistment of wealth
as we'll as Of manhood. That company
has just issued a booklet, entitled
"Mobilizing Money for War"
The necessity of recruiting the Ma
tons money resources for the $1,000
100000 government war loan is empha-
sized as the duty of every citizen who
has wealth. ..,. o.
Why the people of small means should
be expected to bear the burden which
can be carried by the wealthy classes
has never been clearly explained, and
even the New York trust concern, which
is urging the mobilization of wealth is
urging that the bonds be purchased by
all classes. .:..
Let the fellows who have the money
do the mobilizing.

Reason For Food Shortage

Now that the Secretary OF Agriculture,
governors of most of the states and
numerous individuals and newspapers
are urging farmers to raise bigger crops
and proposing the cultivation Of vacant
lands, it would be we'll to pause moment
and INQUIRE as to the cause of the food
shortage. Perhaps it is not the off cials
themselves who are to blame, but. the
Congress Of the United States from which
the answer should come.

Crosser bill promptly, there would not
now. be need for so much concern Owe

The Review is glad to know that there
is no truth in the report which brought
censure upon one of the high school
teachers for remarks casting slur upon
the German people, and that the story
arose out OF misunderstanding on the
part of the pupils. Everyone in these
trying times is trife too ready to take
offense, even when the situation warrants
no such implication, and we are assured
that the teacher in reading the offensive

calumny upon the opposition. APP

st. George And The DRAGON

Two OF New U1nIS merchants are
starting out single-handed to fight the
dragon Of the Mail Order house One
proposes to do it by furnishing the same
goods as the mail order houses offer and
at mail order house prices. This week 8
issue of the Review comtains' Mr.. Buem-
gers advertising on the subject showing
that he is able to furnish exactly the
same quality of goods that any one can
buy from the mail order houses and at
exactly the same price. The, other mer-
chant has a different PLAN He is offer
ing prize to all children who will bring
in mail order catalogs to- his store.
This is the Rawson Variety Store and
their ad also appears this week. Which
of the plans will work the better remains
to be seen but if all of the merchants Of
New Ulm would join hands in the cana+
paign, making use of various expedients
there is not bit of doubt in the; world
that carloads of goods from Chicago mail
order houses would be fewer and farther
between than they are today.
There is not single hardware store
in the city of New Ulm carrying any
advertising in the New Ulm Review this
week nor do they do so regularly IN any
paper. A couple of weeks ago whole
carload of stoves was received in New
Ulm from Montgomery Ward. Do
New Ulm merchants imagine that these
stoves were sold to the people OF New
Ulm and vicinity without Montgomery
Ward spending any money to sell them!
E In some towns the merchants who have
offered prizes for mail order catalogs
brought to their stores have succeeded
in securing enough of them to make a
shipment of a carload of paper to the
paper jobbers. That carload of cata-
logs brought the merchants a couple Of
hundred dollars, but it cost the mail
order; house considerably more thar
that to6put their catalogs into the hands
of the people and the mail order houses
do not spend money unless they know
positively that every cent will come bach
to them many fold.
Not only are merchants to be reminded
of this fact, but also the people who buy
from the mail order houses. Ever.
time an order is sent to catalog house
the buyer must help to pay for thu
catalog from which he makes his choice
must help to pay the salaries OF men Wht
get up these catalogs, must help to pay
the wages of thousands OF clerks busy
putting out this advertising, besides pay
ing for the goods themselves. This buye
thinks he is getting his mail order good
cheaper than he can get them at home
He is, because they are cheaper goods
so cheap that he would not look at then
in his home store, but would be ashamed
to choose them to go into his home if h
were buying is local establishment
He knows if he kept any account of hoy
these goods wear that they do not stan'
up with those he buys from the mar a
home where he can go back if the Fur
chase proves unsatisfactory. TIL

does not bring it home to him. TIL

But the Crawford contingent and th,

Nicholson arrived at Waxahaclie, un.

Magistrate Corrigan
WEEDS Mrs. Haggin
Bride, Divorced Wife of Artist,
Is Famous Beauty

Mrs. Faith Robinson Haggin. d.
vorced wife Of James Ben All Haggin,
artist grandson Of the late James b.
HaSgin, became the bride at noon yes
terday Of Magistrate Joseph f. CORR
gan. They were married at the home
of the brides mother, l39 East Thirty
eighth Street. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Right Rev. Charles H..
Mohr, abbot of st. Leo Abbey, St.
Leo, Fla. where the magistrate has a
winter home.
Mrs. Haggin was not attended, be-
ing in mourning for her father, Jere-
miah P. Robinson. Magistrate Corri-
CAMS first wife disappeared at sea a
year ago in January while returning
from France, where she had been en-
gagged in relief work.
Magistrate Corrigan is nephew Of
the late Archbishop Corrigan, and long
has been active in public life. Mrs.
Corrigan is a famous beauty. In 1908,
when she was twenty, she married Mr..
Haggin. In 1912, when Charles Dana
Gibson asserted Mrs. Gibson was the
worlds most beautiful woman, Mr..
Haggin challenged the statement,
claiming the honor for Mrs. Haggin.
Two years ago. however, the Haggins
were divorced.
