Science of Merchant ShipbuiIding
and Naval Architecture

John Willis Griffiths was the man
who revolutioniZed the science Of mer-
chant shipbuilding and naval archi-
lecture. In 1871 he appeared before
the American institute in New York
and proposed model for new ship.
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall, one of New YOrk's China
trade princes, who in 1912 signed a
contract to build a ship of $50 tons
according to Grifiths' designing.
The ship was completed in January,
1915, and named the Rainbow. The
Rainbow sailed for China in Febru-
:ery, and was back home again in Sep
TENDER to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost
John Willis Grifiths was born in
New York in 1909, and died there
in 1882. He was the inventor of the
trap style of hull construction; the
builder of the United States steamship
Princeton, the FIRST twin screw ocean
going vessel, and was the inventor
Of the process of bending ship tim
Der in a vacuum. In 1851 he pub
lished privately treatise on naval
architecture which attracted Compare
lively little attention in this country,
but its merits were recognized in Eng
land and he became a lecturer in Ed
fnburgh university on naval architec-
ture.

Beetle Cultivator.

Ants are not the only insects that
practice the cultivation of mushrooms,
although for long time it was thought
that they were the only creatures Of
lower order than man that possessed
the intelligence to follow such an agri-
cultural pursuit. Bouvere, the ento-
mologist, had found that a certain
wood-boring beetle, known as the bos-
trychide, is as familiar with mushroom
cultivation as is the species Of ant Of
which so much has been written. Pro-
fessor BOuverie discovered that the
beetles in question bore holes in wood
and half fill them with a prepared
fungus which makes an ideal mush-
room bed. The garden is carefully
spawned and in course of time the
mushrooms appear. In this way the
beetle provides itself with food suf-
fciently tender for Its feeble jaws.

Mora, MIMI, October Is, 1920.
Editor Mile Laos County Times
Milaca, Minnesota,
Dear Sir:
I received copy of your paper containing
the following article:
"Chas. F. Serline, real estate agent of
Mora, is running for the legislature against
Otto Altman. farmer selected by the people
of that county. Serline is against the far
mers' legislative program because it includes
exemption of farm improvements from taxa
ton, and would put tax idle land. He is
specializing in lot of idle land and holding
it for higher prices and would have to pay
| taxes for keeping it out of USE See the
point?''
In the first place you are inconsistent in
not stating facts when you say that Altman
was selected by the people of Kanabec county
because in another article in your paper of
the same date you say that he was selected
by convention of the common people of the
, district. and, therefore, you we'll know, the
selection was made by only a very few people
! of my county and the other two counties rep
resenting this district, and, therefore. this
selection must have been made by that con-
vention and not by the people of my county
| that I against the farmers legislative
program because it includes the exemption
from taxation of farm improvements It is
very evident to me that you again deliberately
desire to misrepresent with reference to
this matter. If you will look up my record you
will find that I supported and voted for a
measure introduced in the last legislature,
which provided for reducing the assessment Of
farm improvements from the present rate of
SO 1-3 per cent to 10 per cent. Permit me
also to inform you that IS members out of a
| total of %. elected to the legislature by your
organization. voted against this measure Civ
ing to the farmers of Minnesota the benefit
of lower rate of assessment on farm, i'm
provements. Surely then you are entirely
ignorant with reference to the attitude of
| your own members this piece of legislation.
| Permit also to inform you that this original
| bill did not include the provision to lower the
assessed valuation on village and city homes
but was measure intended to give the far
| mers, only, the benefits of lower taxes. Rec
ords also will show you that the working peo-
| pies nonpartisan political league, which is an
organization, refused to endorse this farmer

Constitutional Amendments.

Amendment No. l, the good roads
amendment, is the most important
amendment under consideration at this
election. We discuss this amendment
elsewhere in this ISSUE However it
is generally conceded by men we'll in
formed on public matters that all four
amendments should be adopted. Henry
Rines, our present state treasurer, in
his paper, the Kanabcc County Times,
publishes the following comments on
amendments 2, 3 and 4;
Amendment No. 2
This amendment lengthens the term
of Judges of probate from two to four
years, to conform with the term of
other county officers. The same
amendment has been submitted to the
voters at previous elections but failed
Of passage because Of lack of interest.
There is no valid reason why the Judge
Of probate should be elected to term
Of two years when other officers have
four year terms.
Amendment No. 3.
If this amendment is adopted the
legislature would have the power to
exempt from taxation the following
personal property: Household goods,
wearing apparel, agricultural products
in the hands of the producer, tools, i'm
plements and machinery and all real
and personal property owned by agri-
cultural societies and used for holding
county fairs. The amendment also
permits the passage of law imposing
graduated taxes on incomes, privileges
and occupations. This amendment is
generally favored and should be adopt
ed. While that provision Of this
amendment extending the exemption
features of our tax laws will appeal to
many, it is of less Importance than
that part which authorizes the impos-
ing Of income taxes and permits the
taxation of privileges and occupations.
This feature of the amendment will
enable the state to collect taxes. from
new sources. The theory of taxation
is that the heaviest tax burden shall
be imposed upon those best able to
pay. An income tax does this Income
tax laws are being adopted by many
states and have had the effect of re-
lieving real and personal property of
a portion Of its tax burdens.
Amendment No. 4.
The state of Minnesota collects taxes
from its railroads upon gross earn
ings basis instead of through an ad
valorem tax based upon assessed val
Ne. It has been found to be a very
satisfactory method Of taxa ton for the
reason that the tax is so easily de
termined. The tax is per cent upon
all earnings of railroads within the
state. As this tax is in lieu Of all other
taxes, villages and cities have been
unable to collect from railroad COM
panies the cost Of special improve
, ments, such as sidewalks. paving,
sewers, etc, adjoining their property.
If this amendment is adopted all rail
road property would be assessed for
special assessments in the same man
ner a s other private property in now
assessed.
