That County Printing,

In justice, and only justice, to the
county commissioners it should
be made plain that they acted
for the welfare Of the majority of the
county's people by letting the county
printing to the paper that offered to
circulate the county printing among all
the people Of seven communities hay-
ing and supporting newspapers. In
order to have this wider circulation Of
the county reports, tax lists, etc, it is
plain that the higher bid must have
been accepted, as the lower bidder in
this case did not let any paper but
itself in on the job. It is not fair to
the taxpayer to print all the county
work in only one newspaper, because
everybody cannot afford to subscribe
to his home paper and also to another
paper.-Onamia Lake Breeze.

he would live to be a centenarian, and
on Tuesday his ambition was realized.
Mr.. Bracken is remarkable man for
his age. Although somewhat shaky
from the ravages of time, he enjoys
good health. He was particularly &C.
tive at his birthday celebration and in
sisted on dancing a jig for the enter
tainment Of the assembled guests. He
then passed around the cigars and
asked that the Union remember him to
Joe Armitage, who never fails to send
him box of the fragrant weeds upon
his birthday.
| Among those present at the festivi-
ties were Mr.. and Mrs. C: S. Grow,
| Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Ross, Mr.. and Mrs
A. r. Grow, Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Blair
and Mr.. and Mrs. Louis ROCKFORD.
A bountiful luncheon was served by
Mr.. Bracken's French cook, and it was
a merry party that sat at the festal
board, the old warrior being the jol-
lest Of all. He attributes the pro-
longation of his life to the viands pre-
pared for him by his French cook.
Owen Bracken was born in Kings
county, Ireland, on February 2, 1920
He came to New York in 1847, where
he worked at his trade of cutting and
polishing marble. Later he worked on
a farm in Madison county, New York,
remaining there two years. He was
married in 1850. In 1854 he moved on
to farm in Wisconsin and lived there
until July, 1869, when he and his fam
| lily came to Minnesota and settled on
section 8, Greenbush. Ten years ago
he went to live with his son, James, on
section 6 in the same township, and
there he still resides. His wife died
on January 10, 1908. He has four liv-
ing children, VIZ, James and Owen,
Greenbush; Mrs. Kate Waldroff, Hen
rietta; and Mrs. Rose Lafontisee, Be
midi, all of whom were present at the
celebration.
Owen Bracken served with Company
D, 18th Wisconsin regiment, through
out the civil war and was with Sher-
man on his march to the sea. He is a
splendid type Of American citizen and
has we'll performed his duty to his
adopted country.
The Union hopes that the old gentle
man will remain with us for long
time and enjoy good health during his
declining years.

Mr.. Sehlin's Reputation Defended.

we have bad actor and a t.eacheroua

much stock in the voclferous outbursts

lar case. We still consider Peter Sch
lin good man; kind, accommodate
ing neighbor; true, patriotic and
loyal American citizen, and an able.
conscientious county commissioner
He had his good and worthy reasons
for voting as he did on the county
printing business. The difference be-
tween the bids does not amount to
much, spread over the entire county
but the publicity given the county af-
fairs under the present arrangement
of printing and distributing supple
ments and official reports by publish
ers all over the county, we think, is
worth more in the end than few cents
added to the tax ist.-An Opstead OBJ

IF anyone is at loss to explain
the great strength of the nonpartisan
league in Minnesota he can find suffi-
Gent cause in the growth of farmer
cooperation. I. Here is a vast bust
ness without political expression and
political protection as the state is run
today. Daily in their business CO.
operators see the effect of hostile laws
and the absence Of proper laws. Con-
sequently," etc.
The statements in the foregoing are
not according to the facts. This bust
ness is not without expression, and
sympathetic expression at that. It
would, however, have been a sorry ex-
preston if it all depended on the
league members Of the Minnesota SEN
ate. It's sorry showing when they
threw their vote against such a bill as
the farm bureau, and none but league
members voted against it. The same
must be said Of the bill to appropriate
the money necessary to give life to
that and many other measures Of great
Importance to farmers. And their
vote was for and against. Total
votes against were 4.
1t is not true that .co-operativc asso-
Citations are without protection. They
have the protection Of the laws under
which they are Incorporated. When
did the farmers creamery in Milaca,
for example, experience anything like
being outlawed? About II months
ago the managing board seemed so
we'll satisfied with it's status that thew
refused to confer with regard to MAX
ing any change in the law applying
thereto. It is not true, therefore, that
such cooperative industries are daily
experiencing the effects of hostile laws.
The absence Of proper laws" and
changes in the law needed for addi-
tional protection will be considered in
another letter and will reveal some
surprising things.
Why then were these things stated
and published in the Times editorial,
and for what purpose? We believe
that it was to make people believe that
such is the fact, and so give the feel
ing Of having and enduring griev-
ance. This feeling helps to prepare
the soil for the seeds of socialism.
Yours very truly,
Richard Hamer.

Unexpended funds available for last
years work, added to the federal aid,
the county and town tax levies, and
the state aid which becomes available
this year, gives Minnesota more than
$35,000,O00 which it can put into the
development of its highways in 1920.
Of the $5O,000,O0O made available
for road work in the two year period
1919-192O, about $29,O00,0OO was for
use on state aid roads, C. NJ. Babcock,
Estate highway commissioner, says.
aid roads are roads on which the state
pays it's aid funds to assist the coun-
ties in development of arterial roads.
The state system includes 1905 miles
of roads selected by the state highway
department as most vital to the state
and most necessary for handling heavy
traffic. Of this sum, Mr.. Babcock, says,
$$3,0O0,000 was required to be used for
maintenance of existing roads under
state and federal laws, leaving $780,
: 100000 for construction.
In 1919 the actual work accom-
plishcd on state aid roads cost little
moro than $6,000,00O, according to our
figures" the highway commissioner
says. "The state highway system will
be improved this year by work costing
$20,000,009, although come of the prof.
ects probably cannot be completed in
one season."
There are 1880 miles of roads in
the state, according to figures just
compiled by the state highway de-
\ ,pGrtmcnt. Estimates made beforo "a
10 rough survey of all roads in the
UFte had placed the total mileage at
900. Of these highways 1905
lies make up the so-callcd state sys-
tenn; that is, they are roads for which
the counties receive state funds to
assist in their construction and up
keep. The state trunk highway sys-
tenn, tentatively designed by the high
way commissioner as the states ar
terial system Of physical communica-
ton, constitutes 6,893 miles of the
state aid roads.
The $4,000 miles of state aid roads
includes $500 miles of grader high
ways, and of these graded roads only
900 miles are surfaced. The pcrcen-
tage Of surfaced, graded and partially
constructed roads on the rest Of the

to give to every county not less than
l per cent nor more than per cent of
the state aid funds provided for road
construction and upkeep. Of these
state aid funds, 20 per cent goes for
maintenance, and the counties receiv-
ing the state aid are required, as a con-
dition to receiving it, that they spend
the specified proportion Of their own
funds in upkeep.
The state aid road fund is obtained
largely from 1 mill tax on property.
The sources of the state fund for 1920
have been listed as follows by the state
