EXPOSING A FALSEHOOD.
The Bismarck Tribune Angles for a
Rise" Out Of President Townley,
and is Promptly Accommodated.

The Bismarck Tribune got a "rise'
out of A. G. Townley the other day
when he dropped in on the Legislature
and counseled with his lieutenants
concerning the campaign eliminating
with the primaries in June.
"He arrived in state" said the Tri-
bune, "and wore heavy great coat
expensively lined and trimmed with
a fur collar, which is q long cry from
the sheepskins which he was wont tc
wear when he went up and down the
state as a simple organizer" The
Tribune further spoke of the Nonpar.
tisan president as "sleek, we'll groom.
ed, suave and prosperous"
Mr.. Townley didn't relish this al
all, for at meeting later in the day
of farmer legislators and others he
said: "The truth is that I have only
one suit Of clothes, and have had on.
" one suit for the last two years. II
is the same suit that / have on Row
/ bought it at the time of the state
convention two years ago, and
have worn it constantly since.
have worn It until am little bit
ashamed Of it, and I'll show you
why. Il
Then Mr. Townley took off his coat
and exhibited it to the audience
pointing to its well frayed seams and
shiny surface, at the same 'ssale Il
flying the kept press" to show thai
he had nlisstated the facts in any
particular. Minneapolis Journal

STARTING new COUNTRIES
ON CORRECT PRINCIPLES
Large Corporations Cannot Obtain
Land in Any Manner-Title Re-
mains Vested in the Government
All Land Should be Taxed on Rent
al Value.

The British colony Of Nigeria in
Africa is fortunate in being started
on correct principles. The land is not
to be dealt out to big corporations
nor is it to be given in small tracts
to holders, to mortgage and finally to
pass into the hands Of big landlords
Title is to remain vested in the Gov
ernment, and settlers are to hold or
renewable leases at rents fixed and
revised By the governor. A provis-
ion of the law concerning this states:
"In determining the rent to be
demanded for any given land,
and on any subsequent revision OF
rent, the governor shall take into
consideration the rent obtained
Il or obtainable in respect Of any
other like land in the immediate
neighborhood and shall, subject
to the provisions Of section 10,
fix the rent at the highest amount
that can reasonably be expected
to be obtained for the land, hav-
ing regard to all the circumstan-
ces Of the case, provided that in
determining the amount of any
rent, whether original or revised,
the governor shall not take into
consideration any value due to
capital expended upon the land by
Il the same or any previous occu-
pier during his term or terms OF
occupancy, or any increase in the
n value u the land, the rental Of

CALL FOR MORE
''LUMBERJACKS''
The Government Calls for Six Thous-
and Additional Men for Service
With the Forest Regiment Now
Operating in France.
SHOULD BE SKILLED wooDsMEn
Men Can Join the Regiment by En-
listment, if Not Within the Draft
Age and if Within the Age Limits
Which is Eighteen to Forty Five.

Washington, February 12.-Six
thousand additional men are wanted
at once to bring the Twentieth Enpi-
neers> (Forest) regiment UP to full
strength, according to officials of the
Forest Service who have been request
ed by the War Department to aid in
securing the necessary recruits. This
is the second forest regiment formed
by the War department and will be
the biggest regiment in the world.
The first forest regiment has been
in France for several months, busy
in cutting and getting out of the
French forests timber, lumber, and
other material for our army. Some
battalions of the Twentieth have also
gone across, and others will follow
as their equipment and preliminary
training are completed. Men who
enter this unit are therefore assured
the officials say, Of early service
abroad.
Men can join the regiment by en-
listment if not of draft age and if
within the age limits, which are from
18 to 40. Registrants under the Sc
lective draft law who have not been
notified to hold themselves in readi-
ness to report for duty at camp can
be ''inducted' into the regiment IL
they can show they are qualified for
it.
Applicants for enlistment or in
duction may apply by letter to The
Forester, Washington, D. c., or to
the various listing officers who have
been receiving local applications for
places in the forest regiments. Let
tiers Of. application must contain a full
statement Of experience in any of the
various lines of work involved, with
names and addresses of employers.
Three thousand of the men wanted
will consist of lumberjacks, sawmill
workers and men experienced in build
ing and operating of logging rail-
roads. The other three thousand will
make up three road and bridge build
ing battalions which will serve as
auxiliary to the logging and sawmill
units. For these road building bat
talions, men who are familiar with
the operation of rock crushers, road
rollers, scrapers and graders, motor
truck drivers, and laborers experience
ed in road work are required.
The numbering and sawmill battal-
ions will be made up Of men skilled
in every phase of manufacturing and
delivering lumber and other forest
products needed in the conduct of the
war. Sawyers, teamsters, axemen,
tie makers cooks and charcoal burners
are some Of the classes wanted for
the wood operations. Graders, track
layers, track bosses, locomotive en-
gineers and firemen, brakemen, ma
chinists and laborers are needed to
construct and operate logging rail
roads. Men skilled in all kinds OF
work around sawmills, including fill
ers, stationary engineers, boiler max
ers, truck and tractor operators and
laborers for lumberyards are required

GOVERNOR WHlTMAN'S
SPEEDY CONVERSION
New York's Chief Executive No Long
er Views the Single Tax Idea As
Being Reprehensible-As Was the
Case in His Last Campaign.


It looks as though Governor Whit
man of New York is beginning to sc
an economic light. In his address be
fore the New York State Agriculture
Society at Albany on January Is, h
offered "simply as suggestions an
as illustrations of what is being don
and also to "be considere
carefully" the following:
"Another very wise policy
which they have followed abroad
is a plan of exempting such hold
ings from taxation and this, too,
has proved a conspicuous sue
cess and perhaps some plan of
this character would work we'll
with us. It has been proposed, for
instance, to exempt from tax
alton all the man-made improve
ments of farm land, the orchards,
and woodlands, the fences, the
buildings, the flocks, herds and
machinery, levying our rural tax
es only on the bare land values
always provided that the farm is
adequately worked. Such policy
would of necessity result in taxes
slightly higher on bare and idle
land, but, to the enterprising
working farmer, it would mean a
substantial deduction in his taxes
for any Slight increase which he
might pay on his land would be
more than offset by exempting
his buildings and his personal
property, and it certainly seems
wiser to penalize the agricultural
Stacker who leaves his land idle
and unworked than to discourage
the real farmer, the farmer who
is rising to his responsibilities
and doing his share to feed the
nation, by penalizing him through
the tax rolls for every improve
ment which he makes, every sign
of prosperity which he shows, ev-
cry contribution which he makes
to meet the national emergency
with which we are now confront
ed." ...
Only little more than a year age
while campaigning for reelection
Governor Whitman found fault wit
his opponent, Judge Samuel Seabury
for being an advocate of the Singl
Tax. Evidently he no longer look
upon such views as reprehensible o
as uniting the person holding then
for the governorship. And he ha
the commendable courage to speak ou
and let his change of views be known
But after all why should we wonde
at such happening? The governo
has no doubt investigated the matte
since his election. Having investiga
ter he could not help suspecting tina
ed he could not help suspecting tina
the principle was based on truth an
Justice after all.

EMPLOYERS ARE
NOW ASKING FOR
WOMEN OVER 40

fBv ASS pcllled Press tn The Ranncrl
CHICAGO, Feb. 22-WOmen past
the forty year mark are being given
their place in the industrial sun and
daily are disproving the statement
that they are incapable of filing inn
portant positionse Miss Florence
Schee, head of the bureau of em-
ployment of the Woman's Committee,
State Council of Defense, is demon.
stratng this in Chicago by replacing
men and young women in various com
mercial and industrial activities with
women past the two score mark. The
success with which these women fill
the positions is being atteSted, Miss
Schee stated, in the numerous tesu-
monials of employers and the steadily
increasing demand for these women
Miss Schee is specializing in plac-
ing women past 40 and unframed in
commercial fields. Out of five hun
dred given employment only Is have
failed toAeualify, Miss Schee said.
Testifying to the success of this
class of employees in commercial
work, is the following letter made
public by Miss Schee:
! I'VE find that tho women you have
recommended are far better than any
we have ever had. They are extreme
ly conscientious and they have sense
of loyalty to their work and their
employer that one rarely finds among
their younger sisters. We will take
all we can get"
! Il think it IS ridiculous to say that
the unframed, unattached woman,
who has passed the age Of 40, cannot
take her place in the industrial
Z world" Miss Schee said. When this
type of woman first began to- apply
for positions here we asked employers
to take her, if for no other than patr;
, otic reasons. But now we are receiv
ing letters daily in which heads of
firms tell us that these women are
Just as satisfactory and in many cases
even more so, than men or younger
women. They tell US that they are
Just as efficient, and more faithful and
steady than the others"
The contention that there was no
place for unframed women past forty
was made recently at meeting of
. the employment committee members.
1t was argued then that youth and
training are essential to successful
competition under existing condi.
tiOns.
