Secret Organization Working TO
Destroy Live Stock in Pens
and on Ranges

Albuquerque, NJ. NJ. Jan. 1913.
Information has reached us to
the effect that a certain organ
ization which is in opposition to
the purposes of this country and
the best interests of its people
in the prosecution of the war a
gainst the enemy. has planned
this winter to use concentrated
lye and roach powder for killing
or injuring the cattle and hogs
in yards and feed pens.
1t is said that lye on rock salt
causes mouth sores, ulcers in the
stomach and also rots the feet
of the stock, producing a condi-
tion similar to that of foot and
and mouth" disease.
1t is suggested also that the
organization in question proposes
to nse muriatic and nitric acids
in food fed to hogs causing ulcera-
ton of the stomach, and death
under conditions closely resembl
ing hog cholera.
All persons receiving this cir
cular will please notify all stock
men, shippers, feeders, breeders
and farmers in order that they
may take necessary precautions
to guard them against these
attempts, and to exercise
proper diligence in preventing
unauthorized persons from hav-
ing access to stock at any time
We would caution all sheep
men to be on their guard and
especially to be careful about
the quality of salt they use.
Also cases have been brought
to our attention where water
holes have been poisoned, in

WHO KEEPS UP LAND VALUES?

Once in a while the readers of the Twin City papers may be
amazed to learn that certain city lots, or perhaps just one lot,
thing like an acre of land is involved, is a million dollars or more.
A million dollars an acre! There are many acres in large
cities that are held at a half-milion or a million dollars, or even
more.
The reason that they exist is that interest can be paid on
them by the business or industry located on the milliondolar-an-
acre ground
location for doing business with the people of the city and sur
rounding country.
their prosperity. n
The Twin Cities have for their territory Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and a large portion of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Montana vast and productive region, settled with industrious
people.
If the Twin Cities were to be shut off from this great terri
tory by a Chinese wall built around them, so that no business
could be carried on with the surrounding country, the Twin Cities
would soon starve. Their lots, instead OF being worth a million
dollars an acre, would be worth practically nothing.
These great land values in cities, then, depend on the people
of the surrounding country-how good their land is, what kind
of farmers they are. If a stock-raser in Montana improves his
herd, or a wheat-grower in North Dakota increases his yield, both
are adding to the prosperity of the Twin Cities. Both are increas-
ing land values in the Twin Cities.
This would be all right, except that these land value do not
pay their just share of the taxes. AlthO the farmers OF North
Dakota and Iowa and the stockmen of Montana help make and
maintain them, these values contribute nothing in taxes to those
states.
It will be found that whatever the assessed valuation Of these
high-priced city lots, their selling price, or the price for which
they are held, is much higher. Which means, of course, that
they are paying taxes on one valuation and collecting income from
the people-al the people in their ctys trade terTitory-on q
much higher valuation. This income is added to the cost of
everything that the people eat, wear and use. It makes the high
cost of living.
If these hieh-prieed city lots were taxed according to their
true value, just as much money could be made on them by legt-
innate business as ever. But their holders would not be able to
take big uneaIned profits from the people every year just by being
landlords, without doing any business or work of any kind.

And spare the lamb, forgetting what has passed.

The Rugby Tribune is slightly in error in accusing the Cour-
ant of quoting Shakespeare for a purpose. What it did do was
simply to quote Matt Johnson who in turn quoted Shakespeare.
Now, if Bro. Bratten is so fasidious that neither the immortal
Bard of Avon nor Matt johnson can please him the Coufant shall
certainly despair of attempting to do so.
