II. These are: the dog days ii the pol.
itical world as FIR Is Minnesota q
concerned and this not unusual cona
aition is n1aaiiff in d line of poll
tical disint erestn that is state
wide Even the nation is. not unaf.
fected Us is shown ~ mass of
forced press stuif which the edncas
tional and newspaper bureaus Of both
the leading parties IRE sending broad
cast in an effort: to enthuse. The
great bulk Of the u; rank and file
simply refuse to be inthused. IN
Minnesota this condition is not ull-
known to the King: Makers and they
have wisely decided to lay off for. q
month, figuring that about Fare
Week is the best time to get busy.
Why this condition m> a national
year? you probably ask. Generally Il
is period of pep and element Of
ginger is absent this year. Well, to
speak plainly, the voters of this day
and age have troubles that strike
nearer home, and what is more, they
are not crazy about either of the
national standard bearers. To use a
slang word there is feeling among
the rank and file of both the great
parties that they were "gyped" in
the selection of the "Big Feller" and
they simply do not care what hap
pens. They admit that both Har-
ding and Cox are probably equal to
the task imposed on them and they
undoubtedly, will be satisfied with
either; but, in the meantime, they
are devoting their attention and
their interest to things closer to
home; the rent gouger for instance
the profiteer i'm food stuffs and the
high cost of Lying generally. Some
one ; responsible and they are going
to find the goat before fall. 1t is
today, not tomorrow, that the people
seem to be mostly concerned with
AS ia issue, the most of those ad-
vanced are falling on disinterested
ears, though in truth there is one
issue that has considerable call, and
it has to do with the present dras-
tic dry act. For reasons best known
to themselves the leaders of both
parties are SOFT pedta ing the prope:
sition Of light wines and beers, but
not so with the masses. It is quite
topic with them, and the word of
yours truly for it, sentiment runs
the light wine and beer way. The
home brew fad is doing it. One
thing sure, the Wilson -administra-
tion is not going to get the Cox
crowd anything. This is of general
knowledge and on it the Harding
hackers are basing their big hopes.
To them it means a Republican year
and they are not. far wrong.
The old story about United States
Senator Knute Nelson resigning in
favor of State Auditor Preus has
been revived and is now going the
| rounds of the state press. That the
idea of its resurrection is injury to
Jake's gubernatorial candidacy goes
without saying, but it will fail of it's
purpose. No one is more interested
in the political success of Jake Preus
than Senator Nelson, and undoubt-
edly Washington residence for his
protegee is one of the old mans
dreams but you can put it down: cold
that if Jake ever does get there it
will be by his own boot straps and

LABOR AND AMENDMENT NO.

~ =
Whatever question may have, been
raised in ISOLATED instances of the
attitude Of labor toward Amendment,
No. the Babcock good road plan =
the question has been definitely dis
posed Of by recent action Of official
labor bodies. Il Y : ~ 80. ~. - *:5. Il.
The first. official action was taken
ct a meeting Of the executive coun-
Gil Of the Minnesota State Federation
Of labor at which unanimous approval
was given the good roads amend
.ment. Next the state convention Of
the Working Peoples Nonpartisan
Political league at Rochester Endorsed
the amendment with the reservation
that no bonds be issued by the state
in the carrying out of the plan. And
the convention of the State Fedora
tion Of Labor at Rochester took SINH
lar action.
AS to- the matter of bond issue, it.
is exceedingly unlikely that any such
issue ever will be needed or. author
lied. The bond issue power is given
the Legislature in the amendment
largely because at the time it was
written the authors had not foreseen
how much revenue could be raised by
automobile license tax to pay for
operations without a bond ISSUE
Since then conditions have changed
The amendment requires that any
bonds issued under the law shall not
be sold below par and shall not bear
interest over 5 per cent. Of course
it would be impossible now or in the
very near future to sell a penny's
worth of bonds on these terms. it
is estimated that with 100000 motor
vehicles in the state by next year
$5,40O,000 could be collected from
license fees and S2,80O,000 from Fed
eral aid, making total of $8,2OO,000.
It was never intended to spend more
than $10,00O,OO0 On the plan in any
single year, and the road materials
may be so difficult to obtain next
year that it will be impossible to
spend the $8,200,0O0. cash available
On each succeeding year there would
be more machines to be taxed. More
over, the legislature is not limited to
the average Of $18 per machine ON
which: the the characterization isssmade,
Labor is>' wise , iii Endorsing this
amendment, furthermore, because all
but an insignificant percentage of the
money to be spent will go to- labor.
Labor will manufacture the cement,
quarry: the rock and prepare it and
manufacture the machinery to be
used besides laying the road itself.
Labor is a consumer of food, the
marketing of which will be cheapened
and facilitated by good roads. And
labor. is an extensive owner and user
of automobiles. Is there any possible
reason why enlightened labor should
be against this amendment?

Chatterer looked at Happy Jack

Jack looked at Peter Rabbit and
blinked. Peter looked at Jumper the
Hare and blinked. Jumper looked at
Prickly Perky and blinked. Then all
looked at Paddy the Beaver and then
at Old Mother Nature and all blinked.
Old Mother Nature chuckled.
Don't you think the Green Forest

"Of course" she continued. But there
wouldn't be any little pond but for
Paddy the Beaver and the trees he

-Old M0Lner nature.
"Yes." said Old Mother Nature.
Paddy the Beaver is smart in the
very best way. He Is a lumberman,
builder and engineer. A lot of my
little people are workers. but they
are destructive workers. The buster
they are the more they destroy. But
Paddy the Beaver Is a constructive
worker. That means that he is a
builder instead Of a destroyer"
How about all those trees he cuts
down? If that isn't destroying don't
know what Is" said Chatterer the Red
Squirrel, pertly, and with every word
jerked his tail as If somehow his
tongue and tall were connected.

make possible construction" replied
Old Mother Nature. But just think
of the number Of trees you destroy,

"Of course 1 have" retorted Chat

ever so many of them. What of it?'
In the heart of each one was a

/ W. are advertising this week the
Caro- fibre fruit wrappers, the best
wrapper for the purpose manufacture
ed. These wrappers are growing in
popularity among apple growers and
the demand is almost beyond the ca
pacity of the factory to supply. The
~orchardist is taking a wise course who
files his orders early in the season.
John Finnie of Oroville, and Miss
Ada Lynch, of Whitestone Flat, were
united in marriage at Okanogan on
April 20, but the report of the happy
event leaked into this office only this
week. The Gazette extends the newly
weds hearty congratulations and
trusts that the future holds in store
for them many blessings and continual
happiness.
o.. M. Chaplin, Who has the contract

were being made. Mr.. Smith had % go
and had no place to go to. He has not
as yet decided whether he will continue
handling real estate or not. He was
rather forced into the game, as he had
a large tract of land adjoining the
town on the north and his object in
opening an office was to get rid of
that land. AS he was sloughing off that
tract he took on the agency for other
tracts, used the Bargain Column" Of
the Gazette generously and made
quite a number of sales. Incidentally.
it may be added he sold his tract north
of town. He has not decided as yet
whether he will continue dealing in

AS Mr.. Smith has developed into quite
a goer he would probably succeed at
anything that he might undertake.

GOES TO

Mr.. and Mrs. Dooly p. Wheeler amt
children left Oroville Wednesday,, and
it is just possible hat Oroville, where
the Wheelers have made their home
for a number of years, will know them
no more forever. Energetic to a degree
that finally brought on almost nervous
prostratiOn, and anyway so under
mined his health that a change of eli
mate became imperative, Mr.. Wheeler
has done much to demonstrate the
fruitfulness of the valley under the
irrigation system, evolving from the
sage brush one of the most productive
and attractive orchard tracts in the
northern part of the county. Mr..
Wheeler vas compelled to go south
last fall owing to failing health, and
when he returned he expected to re-
main permanently. But work, and hard
work, is Mr.. Wheeler's front name.
and buckling in, he soon commenced
flowers and slow music for him or a
return to the south land. AS. the south
land held out more attractions than a
casket he sold out and his departure
is now chrOnicled. From here the
Wheelers went to Soap Lake for a
short stay, but their ultimate destina-
ton is Exter, California, where they
spent the winter and where %opportun-
ity is reaching out and calling the
head of the household. May good luck
be and abide with them is our wish.
