Prevailing Rates Of Compensation,

1.-The prevailing rates Of compensa-
ton authorized by law in our pub
lie instiMtions-includ the SO per
month war bonus for the current year
ARE far below the rate of salaries
and wages paid in private employ
ment or in other branches Of the gov
eminent service. An earnest effort.
however, has been made by the Off
Gals Of our institutions to maintain
the service in the highest degree OF
efficiency possible under the circum-
stances. and we desire to record the
fact that many employees have re-
NAMED in our institutions because of
their interest in the work and be-
cause of a sense of duty, and have
thus made it possible to continue q
service that in numerous instances
would otherwise have broken down.
Vacancies have, however, from time
to time occurred, and IL has frequent
~ been impossible to secure new en-
ployes Of the desired degree of eff
cheney, and thus, as stated, the stand
ard Of upkeep In our institutions has
been seriously interfered with.
These conditions relative to person.
mel and labor supply have been felt
throughout the country, but have
probably been more marked in Wash
ington because of the presence here
of the general government, with its
abnormal demand for services of all
kinds, resulting in large and sudden
increase In the population of the city,
which condition has itself tended to
still further advance prices and
wages"

MARK TWAIN'S LOYALTY

My kind Of loyalty is loyalty to ores
country, not to it's institutions or its
office holders. Tie country is tie, real
thing, the substantial thing, tie eternal
thing; it is the thing to watch over and
care for and be loyal to; institutions are
extraneous, they are it's mere clothing,
and clotLing can wear out, become ragged,
cease to he comfortable, cease to protect
the body from winter, disease and death.
To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags,
to- worhsip rags, to die for rags that IS
loyalty of unreason; it is pure animal;
it belongs to monarchy; was invented
by monarchy; let monarchy keep it.
The citizen who thinks he sees that the
commonwealth s political clothes are worn
out, and yet holds his peace and does
not agitate for new suit, is disloyai;
he is traitor. Mark Twain, in "A
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" " :55s. -

complaints with the Department Of
Justice in an attempt to have the New
Ulm Post and the New Um Review
suppressed? And why does he want
them suppressed? The answer: PAY
triotism.'
Who was one of the prime meters of
the editorial committee which recently
paid the New Ulm Review the compli-
ment of taking note of our position?
Who is it that has from the first day
that he entered New Ulm business life
been the disturbing element here? Who
is it that is quite willing to see the town
split wide open if he can see few dol
lars falling into his greedy grasp? There
is Just one answer to all these questions,
and New Ulm people know it well, no
matter on which side they stand or have
stood in any of our civic troubles.

DEPLORES PREJUDICE
AGAINST GERMAN ART.

Rev. James Robert Smith of the
Peoples church, st. Paul, last Sunday
deplored the prejudice existing against
German language, music, literature and
"all other things Of the spirit" as he
expressed it, <tjust because we are
at war with Germany. It is in these
realms alone" he added, 'sthat we
find our only hope for an ultimate
peace" -5: -. 81.
Exactly by emphasizing these great
things" he declared, (which all hearts
love can we show the absurdity Of the
provincial philosophy of life out Of
which war grows. While ruthless power
must be held in check by force of arms,
and crushed; yet that which alone
can make the world community is
a clearer recognition of the great tradi-
tons, literature, interests and hopes
common to our humanity. And the
persons who are to lead us to great
victory at last are those who help us to
see, beyond the smoke and bitterness of
the present, these stronger forces in the
heart of the world"
"Great Persons of the Community"
was the text Of his sermon in winch
he further urged that the nations look
above and beyond personal interests,
pooling their resources for the advance
ment of the entire civilization.

Truth Plainly Spoken

Hokah Chief: We hate to do so,
but we are compelled to admit that it
is a. gOdsend to the country that the
Democrats are in control Of the gov
eminent during these days Of floating
Liberty bonds The system z.afforded
by the Federal reserve banks, the farm
loan banks and the various allied msti-
tutions form a basis upon which the
government can quickly build It's drives,
and tie way the country is divided up
into districts, each with it's working
force of men already in possession Of
detailed information so essential in
floating these big projects, are blessings
which must not so unnoticed. The
old ramshackle system we Republicans
had would have Leen of no use what
ever in carrying on such stupendous
campaigns, and any unprejudiced person
will admit it. The Democrats have
put the national monetary system upon
sound basis and at time when it is
extremely fortunate that they did so.

IS YOUR INCOME TAX REPORT
FILED?

Only a few days are left before the
time for filing income tax returns has
expired and any one who has not yet
looked after this matter would do well
to attend to it at once. There is always
a possibility that mails may be delayed
OF missent and in that event the tax payer
would be the one at fault and subject
to the punishment and penalty provided
by the Treasury Department.
The man who does not pay his income
tax is regarded by the Treasury Depart
ment as a Stacker and it is the intention
to prosecute. such quite as vigorously
as those who failed to register for the
draft. In view of the fact that those
who are required to pay most are best
able to do so and inasmuch as the income
tax itself is small everyone should lie
quite willing to come across without
causing any trouble. The soldiers who
have been asked to give their lives in
the service of the government are asked
for great deal more than those who are
merely drafted for financial service.

URGES AMERICANS TO END
III CLASS STRIFE


'sTo save the soul of America, we
must abandon the spirit of class an
tagonism which has grown to be a
serious menace" Rev. Frederick. M.
Eliot, pastor of Unity Church, St. Paul,
declared in sermon last Sunday on
what shall man give in exchange
for his soul?"
1T is as true today as when Abra-
ham Lincoln quoted the Scriptural
saying that "a house divided against
itself cannot stand,'" he continued.
'sThe most threatening, peril in Amer
lean life today is the ugly spirit of
class and group warfare within our
own country, and unless we can find
way to bring unity into the national
life this danger may prove more dis
astrous than any foreign foe"

It now turns out that TIE land on
Ioy Island, for which the Government
advanced $4,000 an acre, was assessed
ar onEy 500 an ac,e. TIE agent who
Md the land assured the Senate Com
mttew on Commerce that the $4,000
srice. was remarkably low one, and
auuld not have been accepted except
f~ the seif-sacrifcing patriotism of
the owners Before there had been
any thought OF a shipyard some of tie
land had been offered for sale at $3.50
an acre, but the agent explained that
by saying that tie $3.50 land did not
'front.' on the river. No Senator thought
of asking him what the owners had done
q, put the river there. It is pity that
B1ey were not as patriotic in valuing
gler property for taxation, as they
claimed to be in fixing price for sale.
Still, since Congress refused to pass
ahe Crosser bill, putting heavy tax on
and values, the owners had some
ground for the belief that our le. isla-
ams want land spectators to continue
ahe gouging of land users. And they
may have construed it patriotic to act
in accordance with the implied will OF

TIE Public Safety Commission writes
the Review in common with other news
papers of the state, that there is grave
danger of rousing Labor and Capital
disturbances along with various other
disturbances which are being reused
thruout the country, by the conflicting
opinions on the war. The Public Safety
Commission lays all of this disturbance
at the door of German Propaganda"
1t would seem that everybody. who is
running the war is holding tie cent
piece of German Propaganda so close
in front of his eyes that he can see
nothing beyond it. e.zG
Tie truth Of the matter is that Labor
and Capital troubles have been drawing
to a climax in this country for years
and right now the United States is
hiding from itself the fact that Labor
has decided to take a stand for its
rights against Capital. 1t is the utmost
folly to hide from ones self the truth
in the matter. Not only. is this the
situation in America but in, all the
countries of the would where Capital;
has ruled supreme. ~: Z
It may be quite possible that German
Propaganda is making use of the labor
disturbances for purposes Of its own
but the unrest of the laboring classes is
far deeper seated than any temporary
dissatisfaction such as that aroused by
any foreign influence might be.
Everywhere, the country, foyer, the
working man is saying to himself that
he will no longer be the slave Of Capital,
and leaders Of the capitalist class have
recognized this fact but they. would
deny it if they could and they are max
ing a great hue and cry about "dis-
loyalty" to hide tie real situation
The wise capitalist is the man who refuses
to deceive himself or Others in this pro-
position and lends his influence to the
abatement of the evils under. which the
laboring man suffers. s,n.
Class rule is not pleasant, no: matter
whether it is tie rule of the rich, tie
rule of the farmer, or tie rule OF the
laboring man, but tie latter two classes
have just about decided that they will
give the capitalist some of his own
medicine. If the capitalist does not
like the taste of it, Ee had better not
obscure the issue any longer but meet
it fairly and squarely with such REFORMS
as may be necessary, because he is going
to have to come to it whether he likes
it or not. IL /

Dur system Of mixed farming and live
stock production. This gives the rails
ing of sheep a new appeal in older
farming areas.
The main factor in determining the
cost Of other animal products is the
value of grain and mill feeds; pastur-
age and rOughage are important, but
both beef and pork require consider
able use Of concentrated feeds. The
production of lambs and mutton re-
Guire a very much smaller proportion
Of fat and therefore a smaller use Of
grain than is required in these other
meat animals. Sheep are able to get
a good portion Of their feed from
rough, permanent grass pasture and at
the same time keep 1t clean of weeds.
This increases rather than decreases
the cattle-carrying capacity Of the pas
lure. AS sheep require comparative
~ little Of the owners labor, the labor
cost per dollars worth Of wool or
lambs is lower than In any other farm
animal product. While the labor re-
quired in raising sheep is not heavy
1t is continuous and somewhat differ
emit from that required in the care of
other stock.
Many Of the obstacles that have
hindered the progress Of sheep rails
Ing in intensive farming districts have
been or are being overcome. The COM
petition given sheep growing on farms
by the production Of sheep on lower
priced range land is being removed.
"A second but only temporary obstacle
to quick Increase In sheep produc-
ton lies in the fact that comparative
" few farmers are as well qualified
to care for sheep as for other classes
Of stock. The needs and habits Of
sheep differ from those of horses, and
swine, but present no problems that
win not be met by interested study
and observations supported by salts
