or the first time. is given protection
pending settlement.
"A number of cases are cited, one
Of the most glazing being that of
the w A. Rankin loan for $4,000.
IN order to protect itself on this
loan the state was forced to buy a
$4,000 water right, pay taxes, etc
For years this loan was allowed to
run, unsolicited, but Commissioner
Elmer secured for the state judge
ment for $4,000. The property
which is worth it, will be sold this
month and the state will get its
money.
Several similar cases are cited in
the report, revealing what is being
done under business-like treat
ment of purely business matter. ]
as contrasted with former procrasti,
nation and inaction, apparently prom
ised on the theory that what is owed
the state is not a matter of real con-
Germ.
The department has also placed
all these delinquent loans in a re-
felFership and for the first time the
state Is securing share of the crops
pending final payment
Commissioner Elmer's report
shows that the state now has invest
ID nearly ten and three quarter mil
ion dollars in farm loans. The new

afe and most profitable basis.

THE PRICES WE PAY.

Our perspective is apt to become
faulty if we depend too much upon
biased or careless statements. That
is true with many subjects, and it
applies most forcefully to the high
cost OF living, concerning which there
are exaggerations as we'll as efforts
to understate the case. We are thank
ful, therefor, for accurate figures,
and especially for carefully garner
ed and compiled government figures,
however we may be disposed to oc-
casionally treat statistics with
lovity.
A recent issue of the publication
OF the bureau of labor statistics goes
into the increases in the prices the
public pays and from a wealth of
statistics some most enlightening
conclusions are poss.Die.

modities and service shows the in

that clothing leads food, the former
showing an increase of 115 per cent
and foodstuffs an increase of lot /
per cent. Lumber and building ma
terial show 81 per cent increase,

and fuel shows 73 per cent increase.
Railroad rates have increased 80
per cent from 1913 TO 1919.
Telephone rates have increased
only Is per cent and some other util- t
tiles rs per cent, with power, for 6
the most part, showing practically t

These figures are nation wide. t

NORTHWEST PLAN
MEMORIALS FOR
FAV0RITE SON
Monument TO Roosevelt Probably
Will be Erected in
Bad Lands g..

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 16.--The Great
Northwest-formerly the stamping
ground of Theodore Roosevelt-is pre-.
paring to erect suitable monuments to
honor the memory Of the late presi.
dent ~
Newspapers from the Twin Cities to
the Pacific coast are discussing plans
for Roosevelt memorials. Thus far all
action taken has been of an individual
or a municipal nature, but it is ex-
pected that the state legislatures,
which are now In session. will consider
Roosevelt memorials before they ad.
journ. II ...s
At this time 1t seems quite certain
that an imposing monument will be
erected somewhere in the bad lands
of western North Dakota where Roose-
welt, in the prime Of young manhood,
spent some time punching cows. Many
cowboys who still work in this dis
trict cherish warm memories Of "red-
dy." The town Of :Medora. not far
from the oMntana state line, was
made famous by RoOseveltian associa-
ton.
One Of the last journeys which the
former president made was to Mon.
tana where Roosevelt was always a
hero. 1t is expected that nearly every
city of Importance in Montana will
construct a Roosevelt memorial.
