BOOSTS
Plan ADVANCED
BY A. P. TAYLOR

Leslie's Weekly has come to the sup
port of the plan for a Pan-Pacffic
Union which originated with A. P.
Taylor, secretary of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee. In an article re-
viewing the proposed work of the
union, they say: .- .%H
"A. p Taylor of Honolulu has
worked out plan whereby an institu-
ton along the lines or the Pan-Amer.
lean Union may be evolved to do for
Hawaii. Alaska, the Philippines, Guam
and American Samoa what the union
has done for North, Central and South
America. There can be no doubt that
the overseas units of the American
government have a more substantial
claim on United States for special ex-
ploitation and development at the
hands Of the government than the
Latin-American nations. Taylor's plan
should receive the hearty support of
our government as well as the bust
ness men," t..a~ .-s1h

THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation Of
ingredients.
National Crop Improvement service.l


National Crop Improvement Service.l
For many years feeders have en-.
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der Of pounds each Of so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. If there was such a
thing as digestible food it might fur
nish a basis to go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, in that 1t disappears in the body.
Just what use Is made Of 1t 10 not al
ways clear. Some of It turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of 1t is used in the labor Of digesting
and handling the food. In the case
of straw and similar material, nearly
all Of its energy Is used up in the
labor of digesting 1t, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
of dried barley grains. each contain
ing the same amount Of digestible
food, and one will give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other
One hundred pounds of digestible
food derived from roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain, SO II we add together things
which are unlike, We get no tangible
results. 1t is like adding SO many
pounds to so many gallons. So, the
digestible basis Of figuring rations is
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy a ccv needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much Is necessary
to make one pound I milk of GER
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she can
make.
This is a very difficult problem
and few can do it, and we challenge
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
out, that COW will not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk on less feed. So feeding is large
ly experimental, as no two cows are
alike.
However, the Law Of averages will
hold, and the feeder can save all this
trouble and much loss by feeding a
ration which his experiment station
has in most cases made 7ay three tc
four pounds of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There is one thing certain. Thu
more solids and fat in the milk, tho
more feed needed per pound of milk.
So, a good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughage
she will eat will greatly simplify your
feeding problem and a very little ex-
perimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each COW needs TO
produce o maximum yield.

washington, March 1.-Safe con-
duct on the high seas in addition to
freedom to leave the United States by
any port they choose was demanded
for the German consuls by the Berlin
government Immediately after the
break in relations. While it was not
explicitly stated that permissions for
the four American consular officers
who remained in Germany after Am
bassador Gerard's withdrawal to pro-
coed to new ports in Turkey was de-
pendent upon this concession Of safe
conduct by the United States govern
ment, 1t was made plainly apparent
to the state department that there was
some connection between the cases by
obstacles placed by Germany in the
way of the departure of the American
consuls. who even vet refrain in Ger
many, unable to cross into Austria
and thence to Turkey.
They are not technically detained. /"
but the obstacles thrown in their way
are certain military rules governing
the movement of civilians across the
border, which invariably have been
waived as matter Of international
comfy in similar cases
State department officials were
amazed at the German demands for
safe conduct for their consuls to new
posts. in Latin America. It had ar
ranged for the safe conduct to Ger
many OF the large body OF German
consuls in the United States who ac-
companied Count Won Bernstorff. But
never before had the department been
confronted with a demand for safe
conduct beyond the borders of the
United States for consular officers of
belligerent bound for new posts.
Therefore, Secretary Lansing with
out hesitation declared that it was
none of the business of the United
States government to protect these
German consuls beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the United States. nor was it
incumbent upon him to appeal to Brit
ish and French governments for any
such measures Of protection for the
officers of the country which they were
fighting. He took the ground that the
German consuls were free to leave the
United States by any door they chose
and similar request was the only one
he made in regard to the American
consuls in Germany.
The facts developed In connection
with the German intrigue now make 1t
clear that Secretary Lansing had an
additional reason for not desiring to
facilitate the transfer of German con-
suls into Latin America, based on his
knowledge that such officials were
active and dangerous
agents of the German government in
the plan to array the governments of
Latin America against the United
States in event Of war between this
country and Germany.

property on the 1915 assessment, as
compiled in the ONCE of State Aud. J. A.
Q. Preus, is $3.50, 20O,9 1858, compared with
$1,491, 864,548 for 1915. Though the
valuation is the greatest in the history
OF the state, the average tax levy is
also the highest known, and is 35.42
mills compared with S4.s9 mills for the
year before. Taxes levied for all pur-
poses in the state this year were $751;
969.62S, compared with $52,055,1SO last
year.
The abstract shows 44,776,417 acres
of land, valued with structures at $751;
1892, or an average of $1,000 an acre,
and $436,092,140. of city realty and
structures. also personal property of
$212,4S1,536, taxable value.
Moneys and credits of $223,858,138, at
q mill rate on that total, will yield
$671,S31 of taxes for collection this
year, compared with total levy of
$639,349.
Tax levies for state purposes total
$3,827,286 for revenue, roads and other
funds, against a like item of $4,285,984
a year ago; $1,944,955 for schools and
the university against $1,S36,277; and
$59,72S for the teachers insurance and
retirement fund against $56,040 levied
last year. And from this 1t will be seen
that state demands are not responsible
for the larger amount to be raised this
year by taxation in Minnesota.

A COMMUNICATION

A Suggestion to the Citizens and
Tax Payers Of the City of Moorhead:
Instead Of paying. $4,000 for the pro-
posed park site on which we hold an
option, why not build foot bridge
across the river at the end of Fifth
street north. which would give us ac-
cess to the Oak Grove park, similar
to the foot bridge at the west end
of Fourth avenue south, which gives
us access to Island park.
This could be done at q cost of
about $500. The only cost thereaf-
ter would be the maintenance of the
bridge. namely; removing same in the
spring during high water and re-
placing 1t after the water subsidies.
This would not only be a benefit to
our citizens, but also to the citizens
Of our sister city across the river, as
at the present time many in the
northern part of the city cross on the
ice back and forth; and in the sum-
mer use the Great Northern railway
bridge; both of which are very dang
erous.
BY doing this we would have at
least $4,000.

100000 under the provisions of the
general guard appropriation bill that
passed the house yesterday afternoon.
This bill, as 1t passed the senate, car
ried a $4,000 appropriation for the
guard, and the house increased it $780,

The bill by Senator Heckle provid-
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to be

from service at the border such
pensions" to be paid on the basis of
$40 a month for the time actually
spent at the border. now awaits the
signature Of the governor. 1t was
passed by the house without debate.
This measure takes the place of the
bill that the house passed some time
ago, but which was held unconstitu-
tional, as attempting to make a gift
to the soldiers. To circumvent that
proposition. and still accomplish the
object for which the hackers of the
bill sought, the pension bill was
presented in the senate.
