The newspapers Of upper Wiscon-
sin are doing q great work in giving
publicity to the Wisconsin Advance
ment Associations big 1917 land
clearing campaign. 1t is true that
one or two of these papers are hold
ing aloof instead of Joining the other
two hundred and suggest that there
may be something unseen behind the
movement. The advancement asso-
citation has stated that it is receiving
absolutely no profit from this cam
paign. 1t is doing this work just as
it worked for better COWS, better
seed, better potatoes. easier loans
and other things for the benefit Of
upper Wisconsin. OF course there is
a reason that spurs the association to
do this work, and that reason Is easy
to see. Its members have land to
sell TO settlers and everything that
makes the success of the settlers cas-
Ter and more rapid makes it easier to
get more settlers. That is simple
proposition.

NO MIDDLE GROUND

The following article taken from
the letter column of tue Milwaukee
Sentinel expresses the sentiment Of
a majority of the American people.
The would be saviors {?) of the
republic, those who hope to prevent
war with foreign state by falsely
representing the grandeur Of an I'M
worldly peace, relyingupon an infa,
nous public opinion to sustain that
view, should remember that there
are some things infinitely worse
than war, and one of these is the
puSillanimous submission to the per-
siStent and ineXcusable violation of
aegal and constitutional rights Of the
citizens of this country. For peace
able state, war is the court of last
resort. 1t follows closely on failure
OF diplomacy and arbitration. And
ib should be unhesitatingly invoked
and as warmly supported by every
good citizen. There is, there can be,
mo middle ground. He who is not for
Eiae constituted authorities is against
such authority, and should be treated
tas such-a common enemy.
Advocates of peace in the face of
knowledge of the violation of a ma
tion's legal and constitutional rights,
no matter what may be the citizen
ship of such advocates. are traitors in
substance, if not in fact. They should
have melted out to them the ignominy
which such conduct deserves.
Advocates of such a peace based
upon ignorance of the real situation
should have our pity, but should be
given no consideration upon the mer-
its of the case.
Loyalty, undivided and indivisible,
govern the thought and ac-
tions of all of the people.

MAKE HAY WHILE THE
SUN SHINES

We talk about making hay while
the sun shines" Are we going to APP
ply the same slogan to clearing upper
: Wisconsin land of stumps in the
spring? There is short period when
clearing can be done to the best adj
santiago and when there is time to do
it. Are we going to accomplish the
greatest possible amount of clearing
at shat time?
The Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation is asking this question with
the same enthusiasm that character
ICES all it's work for the benefit of
upper Wisconsin. 1t is getting dyna-
mite at wholesale prices for all com
munities that are awake to the sit
-alatiOn, and stump pullers and pliers
for every individual or group Of people
at greatly reduced prices, and itshould
be understood that this applies to the
best machines. 1t is not merely a
matter Of cheapness, but of getting
the very best equipment far below the
price at which it can otherwise be OBJ
tained.
That association is conducting a
sort of revival in upper Wisconsin on
the matter Of land clearing stirring up
interest and that upper Wisconsin
land, with the stumps remaining, can
be made to return as much profit as
the cleared land Of many portions of
the middle west, is not good reason
why these cheap lands should not be
cleared of stumps and made doubly
productive. The stumps should be re-
moved as fast as possible.
To make 60 cents answer for q dol
lar, to get good stump pullers and pill
erS at work everywhere, and to equip
with modern accessories those that
are not now SO equipped this is the
work that is involved in the Wiscon-
sin Advancement associations 1917

the intimidation exercised by the
press of Multnomah county upon the
county commissioners Throughout
the state these notices were printed
only two newspapers and at small ex-
pense to the owners Of property on
which taxes were delinquent. In Multi
nomah county for fear of vertain
newspapers the county commits
siOners published them in four
daily newspapers of Portland This,
of course, was unnecessary but the
county commissioners for fear of the
metropolitan press chose the lesser of
two evils.
The country press viii survive the
shock. Whenever the delinquent tax
list was published in country news
paper it meant extra work for com.
positors, extra work for makeup men,
extra work proof-reading, extra paper
and ink. The pay the country news
paper got for this service was not ex-
orbitant, nor was it graft as one OF
the Portland newspapers would have
the people believe.
Under the new scheme the money
formerly paid TO the newspapers for
publication will 60 to Uncle Sam for
postal cards and to clerical help in
the sheriff's office, The cost to the
owner Of delinquent property viii be
the same. 1t is all right to try the
new scheme. Perhaps it viii work.
The feature of the old system which
viii be lost is the fact that publica.
tion of the delinquent tax list helps
collect taxes. No one likes to pay
taxes. Publication of the name of de-
hnquents on certain date each wear
was of great assistance in the collec-
tlon of taxes because no one likes to
be published as debtor or as one un-
eble to pay taxes due the county and
many made the effort aud did raise
their tax monies in order to avoid this
contingency.
If the legislature desires to make if
easier for the owner of property let
them further amend the delinquent
tax laws by abolishing the usurious
penalties by which unfortunate peo.
pie who are temporarily embarrassed
for ready money pay heavily for their
misfortune.
The senate has passed a law provid-
ing for five per cent interest with eight
per cent as maximum under written
contract.
Let them wipe out the 10 and - and
10 per cent interest and penalties now
attaching to certificates of delinouent
taxes.
The house of representatives which
passed the present law will not do this
because it would hurt some of the loan
sharks who are interested in buying
up tax certificates and who are back
of the present law passed by the house.
Without public notice of delinquency,
under the post card mailing system. the
amount of delinquent taxes will steadily
increase and those who like to fatten
Oft the misfortunes of others will reap
a continually growing harvest. OF
course none of the Shyloeks, like the
prime mover in this legislation though
OF this. or urged it upon the members of
the legislature, and we presume there
was no lobby of these gentlemen in the
house or ont of it.
