Big Lake County
In Minnesota Is
Planning Good Roads

Two Harbors, Mimi, April a.
Passage Of the Babcock Good Roads
bill by the state legislature, which will
submit to the people a proposal to
bond the state to construct 100000
900 worth of hard surfaced roads. has
stimulated action in Big Lake county.
It Is planned to bond the county for
$4,000 to provide initial funds for
the construction OF a modern highway
along the north shore to the Canadian
border
Such road would provide a real
thoroughfare from Duluth to the In
ternational boundary and as Duluth is
to be on the proposed Roosevelt trail,
the Big Lake highway probably would
be a branch of a transcontinental sys-
tenn. If the Babcock plan is ratified,
the county would receive $4,000 from
the state.
The proposed hard surface road
would run along the north shore be-
From Schrader the road would be ex-
tended to Grand Marais and Grand
Portage. The distance from Two
Harbors to Schrader is sixty one
miles via Castle Danger and Split
Rock to Beaver where the new hard
surfaced road will run twenty one
miles along the lake shore via Bap-
tism river and Little Marias to
Schrader.
When completed the new Beaver
Bay-Schrader road is expected to be
through beautiful country bounded on
one side by the rugged shore of Lake
Superior and on the other by the
wooded wild lands and hills resem-
bling mountains with streams well
stocked with speckled trout.

The Present
Political Situation
OF North Dakota
My Humble ,Critique of These
Plans.
(By Vincent Wehrlc. Bishop of
Bismarck)


Sidney Smith says: Errors to be
dangerous must have a great deal Of
truth mingled with them: it Is only
from this alliance that they can OBJ
tain an extensive circulation; from
pure extravaganza and genuine false
hood the world never has sustained
and never can sustain any mischief"
Unquestionably there is lots of truth
in the Nonpartisan Leaguer's asser-
ton that something must be done to
protect the farmers from acts of un-
justice, caused by moneyed men. But
are the remedies proposed by the
Leaguers sure and good? Let them
ponder the following:
l. The state is not an individual
that can run the different kinds Of
business which they want to entrust
to the state. The state needs men as
its agents and employees to run the
business. Who can give any guaran-
tee that these men will be strictly
honest. Nobody. Can these employ
ees of the state be closely watched
so that any act of neglect or dis
honesty be quickly detected and pun
ished? 1t is absolutely possible. but
not probable. The proofs we have in
they erected by the United States. or
by our own state or by county or city,
cost usually more than they would il
they were erected by private owners.
The complaint that Uncle Sam and
the states and counties are rather ex-
travagant spenders Of money has for
many decades been only too true. It
has always been taken lightly enough
upon the excuse that the country is
rich enough. The Nonpartisan
Leaguers tell us that they themselves
are better and more conscientious
business managers; they give us their

word, but that is all.
2. Should the plans of the Non
partisan League be carried out,
money will be needed by the bushel,
not only hundreds of thousands but
millions and tens of millions. They
know this hence their initiative petit
ton. mentioned in chapter g., Have
ments by the state in mills, elevators,
packing plants. ETC., will always bring
save return? Absolutely none. They
take the risk of saddling upon the
state immense debts. Have they or
any other other party a right to do
this? Absolutely not.
3. Whose money do they want the
state to invest The states money.
But whose money is the states
money? 1t is mostly the money that
once belonged to individual citizens
and has been collected by the state in
the form OF taxes. Has the state the
right to raise the burden Of taxation
for the sake of all kinds of specula-
tions? Absolutely not. A primary
lesson on this subject will form the
next chapter.
4. Are there no other and safer
plans and means to secure justice to
the farmer and the laboring man than
the plans Of the Nonpartisan League? :?
Most certainly there are and we will
lay them before the reader. plans and
means which have stood the test of
centuries.
10. Taxes, Just and Unjust.
I lay before the reader some prin-
ciples which have been acknowledged
by the Christian states for many
hundreds Of years, though they often
sinned against them.
/. Each individual person has
from God Himself through the naur-
al law received the right to own
property. be it real estate or chattel.
Whosoever is in possession of such
property must be considered its right
full and lawful possessor until proofs
I, have been made that he is not. The
right to ones property must be re-
spected by every person, individual or
moral. hence also by the state.
2. The first purpose of the state
is to maintain justice. The state is
founded upon Justice. and by justive
is meant not the will Of one man or
many men. but a spiritual. divine

Rich Farm Land OF
"Dry Lake" Floods

Devils Lake, N. D.. April 23.-
Thousands Of acres of land which has
been cultivated for several years. some
of which was sowed to winter rye, the
rest being plowed and ready for
spring seeding, now lies covered with
from one to five feet ofswater in what
is known as the bed of Dry lake. Ac-
cording to David Turner, one of the
pioneer settlers of the Dry lake coun-
try, this is the third time that Dry
lake has filled up with water after
having dried up, within the past twen-
ty-five years.
The land now under water, and
which cannot be used this year, be-
longs to farmers who own land
around the lake, the cultivated area
running from 80 to 800 acres each.
1t is Mr.. Turner's opinion that next
year the water will be still higher.

right up and while am just now on
my third bottle have been benefited
so much that am ready right now to
tell everybody about It, I have suf-
fered from stomach trouble for eight
wears or more and had become a reg
ular dyspeptic. My appetite was very
poor and could eat nothing but what
would bloat me up with gas and make
me miserable. Every time ventured
TO eat anything like a square meal my
stomach would feel like I had swal-
lowed lump of lead and the pain
following was intense. I suffered a
great deal from heartburn and nausea
and had gotten to where I had to live
mostly on the very lightest of foods
AS general thing my sleep was un-
sound and I would get up in the
mornings feeling as tired as on going
to bed at night. In fact, was weak
and tired all the time, had no energy,
and could not take proper interest in
my business.
Seeing Tan1ac recommended so
highly by others who had gotten rid
Of troubles like mine decided to see
if there was anything in it for me.

bottle I felt better in every way. My

to feel like new man and I am so
delighted over what Tatlac has done
and is still doing for me that I am
glad to recommend it,"
OF all the distressing conditions
