Dakota Farmers See Mgkt

The farmers of North Dakota are com.
mencing to see the light. They are
getting tired of building up the farming
community, paying the taxes on the
Improvements they are making and
thereby giving the land Spectator an
opportunity of reaping the benefit of
increased prices for farm lands without
having done anything to bring about the
Increased farm values. They have
formed Farmers Non-P Partisan League
and have broken into politics and are
bent on doing things. They demand
that there shall be no more taxes on
barns and fencing and farmhouses and
Sheds They want to increase the tax
of the unimproved land to equalize the
taxes on the improved land, just becaus e
the spectators created by the railroad
land grants have held back immense
acreage from cultivation, waiting for a
big rise in land values. They have it
doped out that hail tax and an increase
in land tax will cause some of these
spectators to re-inventory their hold
ings. They have evidently sized up
the situation correctly and if they are
successful in eliminating the unearned
increment, they will do a service not
only to themselves but also to the rest
of mankind. We have the same situa
ton in the cities. We see it almost
daily that some enterprising man erects
buildings in a certain section of town and
thereby raises the value of bis neighbors
lot who has done nothing toward Great
ing the increased values. 1t has happened
right in this mans town that two of our
citizens have built valuable residences
on their respective lots and thereby
raisaa the value Of the lot lying between
them and were later on forced to pay
the owner of the vacant lot the increased
value which they had actually created.
Let the good work of the farmers league
go on and may his city brothers alsose
the light.

Changes In Child Welfare Lar

Friends Of the Child welfare in
Minnesota are preparing to induce the
present legislature to make several
changes and amendments to the laws
that will. if enacted, bring great deal
Of relief in many directions. Ten inn
portant bills and number of minor re-
concentrations on revisions, are In
Guided in the intended legislation.
The Mothers Pension bill is the first
to receive consideration. The kindly
grandmother, the good step-mother
rearing another woman's children, and
the unfortunate mother of an Legitimate
child, all will de eligible to receive
mothers pensions under the proposed
change, which is decribed by the authors
as the practical, common-sense plan
of the state commission which is to
be established ii the proposed act be-
comes a law.
| The revision of the Mothers Pension
Law is proposed to better standardize
and to provide closer state supervision
of it's administration. 1t provides also
that any taxpayer may obtain hearing
in court on any pension, allowance he be

Mothers, whose husband have been
under Indictment for more than a year
for abandonment, may also receive pen
ions under the broader plan recommend
ed. Another requirement is that
families receiving pensions must make an
effort to speak English if accustomed
to using any foreign language.
The new laws provide for the creation
of a system of guardianship by which
the state will better protect and care
for dependent, neglected and Delinquent
children. This feature is said to have

early date.
The proposal is for the establishment

Work Is Being Well Done

While the food control conference
was not as largely attended as many be-
lieved it would be, the officers of the
Tri-State Flood Control Association
were highly gratifed over the fact that
almost the entire territory covered by
the two river valleys, from Fargo, NJ D..
to we'll towards the mouth of the Mime
sofa river, was represented.
That the promoters Of the plan for
controlling the flood waters of the Mime
sofa and the Red River of the North,
are on the right track, is pretty generally
conceded by the people as they become
conversant with the plans as mapped
out at the meeting here last Wednesday.

According to the Sleepy Eye Herald

recently shot a young timber wolf, a

FARMERS MAY ORGANIZE.
FEDERAL LOAN BOARDS

Now that one of the twelve federal
farm loan banks has been established at
St. Paul, it is possible that some of the
farmers Of this section may desire to
avail themselves Of the opportunity
offered by the United States government
to secure money at cheaper rates.
Ten farmers may unite to form a
National Farm Loan Association. That
is the least number the law allows, and
farmers only can be members. More
can join if they desire, and the larger the
number the better it satisfies the govern
ment. A sum as low as s1OO may be
borrowed or as much as $4,000. These
are the limits as fixed by law. The
farmer must subscribe for stock to the
extent OF 5 per cent Of his loan, shares
being sold as low as SIS. If he wants
to borrow 500 he must buy one share
OF stock, and one share for each 500
borrowed. He may pay cash for his
stock or wait until the. loan is made
when the amount will be deducted from
the money borrowed.
In organizing the National Farm loan
Association about the same procedure
is taken as in forming any other joint
stock organizations. A regular charter
is secured from the. federal farm loan.
board instead of going to the state,
which is the case in organizing under the
state laws.
Farmers who desire to form an as
sociation for the purpose of borrowing
money. from the government may secure
all Of the necessary blanks and detailed
information by writing to the federal
farm loan bank at.St. Paul.

HoW About Be0utifyinq New Z}lIaag


More than two months ago the New
Ulm Commercial Club instructed the
directors to proceed with proposition
to improve and take advantage of the
many beauty spots in and around New
Qlm, but so far nothing has been done
to indicate that the club members ever
had such proposition in mind. Lest
the directors have forgotten it., this is
simply reminder.
The instructions to. the directors were
to make arrangements to carry out the
ideas presented by f. W.. Johnson, along
the lines adopted by the City of Madison,
Wis, a few years ago, which has been
the means of putting that city on the
map, and placing it in a class with the
really beautiful cities of the country.
If anything is to be done during next
summer it is none too early to begin
making preparations. There are lot
OF preliminaries to be attended to be-
fore actual work is begun, which will
require many months of hard work.
There is no question but that there
are plenty Of men in New Ulm who will
be glad to take up the task and carry it.
to completion, and it is up to the Com
mercial Club directors and officers to give
them chance to get their hands in.
