Land Clearing Demonstration.


The Minnesota land-clearing special
trains crews swept about five acres of
stump land on the farm Of ]. E. Arvid-
son, about a, mile north of Milaca, clear
of stumps last Tuesday afternoon.
They blasted out stumps with 20 per
cent dynamite, showing how to econo-
mize in use of explosives; they pulled
stumps with handpullers; they pulled
them with horsepower machines;
they blasted out whole trees; they
smashed big boulders with 80 per cent
dynamite; they dug ditch with dyna-
mite, and then they turned in and
snaked the stuanps across the field
with a tractor that looked like a big
beetle and piled them with modern
stumppi1er.
They did all this as demonstration
to the farmers from the surrounding
country in the use of modern methods
of stump-land clearing. The demon
stration was the first Of a series of
% to be given between now and June
25 in northern Minnesota, The train
will be at Wahkon on June %.

It would be interesting to know
what the farmers Of the Townley
league think of their boss action in
handpicking Shipstead, tooth-jerker,
for governor. One would naturally
suppose that an organization consist
ing largely Of, and. financed by, far
mers at SIS per, should at least be
granted an opportunity to select it's
own candidate for governor, but Town
ley said "No; l am the brains of the
league and intend selecting whomso-
ever l see fit" Hence the farmers had
no voice in the matter and were COM
PEELED to accept this dentist as their
gubernatorial candidate Some day
the farmers in the league will tire of
Townley's dictatorship and there will
be a head-on collision which will put
the boss who is farming the farmers
out of commission.

President Wilson has made another
bad break by vetoing the bill making
appropriations for the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial expenses of the
government because it contained a.
provision that no publication or mime
ographed press matter shall be issued
by any department without the ap-
prevail Of the joint committee on print
ing. The president declared that this
provision is usurpation Of executive
right. But it is clearly apparent that
the real reason for the presidents ac-
ton is that the measure would put a
stop to the issuance of administrative
political propaganda which has
clogged the mails for many months
and is of purely misrepresentation

Harvey's Weekly: The daylight
saving nsuddle continues, and we are
treated to the spectacle Of a great
railroad running part of it's trains ac-
cording to one system and the rest ac-
cording to the other! Thus the five
o'clock express and the six o'clock
local leave the terminal at the same
time. The uncertainty, inconvenience
and frequent actual loss that are thus
being imposed upon the public are
great beyond computation. They will
probably continue, however, until this
happy go-lucky nation insists upon a
rational system of universal enforce
ment.

Federal convict No. 2253-in other
words, Eugene v. Debs-who is serv-
ing a ten-year sentence for violation
of the espionage act, was nominated
by reclamation for the presidency of
the United States by the socialists
national convention in New York city.
This goes to show the sort of timber
the socialists select convict in
stripes; and it also indicates the kind
of people who selected him-people in
favor of unlawful acts. IT'S shame
that this country does not put forth
greater efforts to purge itself of
radicalism.

The Tonnage Tax.

The Minnesota Fair Tax association,
which is opposing a tonnage tax, is
doing something entirely new. It is
trying to discuss matter of public
policy with all the people of the state
through paid advertisements.
The first of these advertisements
were published last week and called
attention to the fact that no state has
a tonnage tax, that those states which
have tried tonnage tax have all re-
pealed it and attempted to show that
the steel trust controls only a very
small part of the iron ore in Minneso-
ia.
This weeks advertisement calls. at
tention to the fact that the iron mines
will this year pay the state more than
$5,000,000. It also tries to show that
the iron mines now pay more taxes
than anybody else. For instance, a
! southern Minnesota farm worth 81 200
would be assessed at $333.OO but a
northern Minnesota iron mine worth
81 900 would be assessed at $4,000.
The average tax rate in southern Min
nesota is 4165 mills. The $1,000 farm
Of southern Minnesota would pay this
year $13.87 in taxes but the $1,000
northern Minnesota iron mine would
pay this year in taxes $27.68 or almost
exactly twice as much as the southern
Minnesota farm.

Hoover has declared for the open

however, will make no difference to

have stood much better chance for
presidential nomination. But he fol-

waiting and thus became mugwump.
He was eventually hustled into the
