Farmers will sign contracts to sell
all their grain through their local CO.
operative for five years. The CO.
operative will make similar contract
with the national sales agency.
The farmers, however, are to choose
the method by which they will sell
their grain. They may sell on con-
signment, they may sell direct to
their national cooperative agency, or
they may decide to establish a COM
munity pool. They may sell to local
mill, or for local consumption. The
object of the contracts is to enable
the national organization to sell the
grain as. the world needs it, and pre-
vent violent fluctuations and price de-
pressions as a result of flooded mar
kets at harvest time.
The Committee of Seventeen is
completing the details of its plan for
financing this giant farmers organi-
cation. It proposes to establish sales
agencies in every important market,
and acquire government licensed
warehouses for storing the farmers
grain. With the warehouse receipts
for this grain as surety, it is planned
to sell debentures or securities on the
open market, or to farmers, country
bankers and the public generally, and
thus raise money to finance the CO.
operative marketing plan. William
G. Eckhardt, treasurer of the Commit
tee of Seventeen, in St. Paul to confer
with farm bureau officers, said that
the committee believes the national
marketing agency can be made so
strong that it can raise $1,000,000,-
900 a year to handle the farmers
grain.
The national cooperative probably
would advance to the farmer, when
he ships his grain, Is per cent of the
price it hopes to obtain for him; the
rest of the selling price would be paid
to him when the grain is sold. The
aim of the organization is to enable
the farmer to get some return from
his crop at once without dumping the
country's entire production on the
market time and forcing the price
down.
In that way, farmers would be able
to realize some return on their crops
at once, and their national agency
would hold the grain and market it
as world demand calls for it. It is
designed to prevent violent fluctua-
tons through manipulation, and sud-
den price depression at harvest time
as result of an oversupply of grain
flooding the market.

A Fair, Square Deal.

The American ideal is fair, square
deal to all. In the past, the public
service utilities have been hampered
and harrassed at every turn by politi-
cal demagogues and charlatans. The
result has been that the public utili
ties were placed in a position where
they were financially embarrassed and
could not meet their obligations, let
alone improve the service.

councilmen have done all that they
could to wreck it. In fact, some of
them have openly boasted that they
would bring about the ruin of the
company and buy it in for the city.
AS loyal citizens of Minnesota, prac-
tically every person in the state is
directly or indirectly interested. in
this matter. We who live in the coun-
try are proud Of the great cities, and
we have taken an especial pride in the
street railways service, which has I'M
doubtedly been the very best in the
entire United States. Minneapolis and
St. Paul, as well as the rest of the
Using from that fact. Are we going
service wrecked by group of selfish
men?
We are Of the earnest and honest
opinion that the true solution of the
problem lies in placing the regulation
of the street railways under the con-
troll of the State Railroad and Ware
house Commission, and we therefore
favor the passage of the Brooks
Coleman bill by the present legisla-
ture. The entire purpose of this bill
is to give efficient and impartial regu-
lation Of street railway systems. If
it is passed the street railways are
assured of sufficient new capital to
enable them to finance their needs,
and give the service which the public
is entitled to. If it does not pass, no
investor will buy one dollars worth Of
their securities, and they will not be
able to finance paving extensions or
equipment. This means, of course,
that they will stagnate, and the CT
ties and to a great extent, the entire
state, will suffer
There are several reasons WHY
the state of Minnesota outside of the
cities is interested in this problem.
Street railways are primarily munich
pal institutions, but they are not pure
ly local in character. 1t is estimated
that from ten to thirty per cent of the
car riders in the Twin Cities are from
out of town. Some six thousand Uni
versity students come to the cities ev-
cry year to attend college, and prac-
tically their only means of reaching
the University is on street cars. Fur
thermore, during State Fair week, the
cars are crowded with persons who
come from all over the state of Min
nesota. The employees on the cars are
recruited from the four corners of the
state.
The placing of the street railways
under the jurisdiction Of the State
Railroad and Warehouse Commission,
will not harm anyone. On the other
hand, it will give the people strong
er safeguard than ever. The compa-
mics desire to give the best of service,
but when they are hampered by con-
flicting governing bodies they can not
do it. The St. Paul Dispatch said
editorially: "The street car system of
st. Paul and Minneapolis is a single
system under single ownership. And
1t has two masters-the two city gov
ernments-each jealous of the other,
each governing its dealings with the
company with an eye on the other

WHERE DOES THE MONEY
GO?-ASKS MALONEY

In my previous article | referred tt
the insignificant part that the state tax
forms Of what we commonly refer &c
as the tax bill | didn't mean to imply
that the actual cost of the state govern
ment is small. Ordinarily. when we
speak of taxes we mean the amount
we pay to the town. village or city
treaSurerS. and of that the state tax is
an insignificant element. The state
government is mainly supported by
special taxes. chief of which are taxes
on railroads and Insurance companies.
OF course. we all help pay these spe-
cial taxes. but we don't pay directly,
seldom realize that we pay them, and
never Kick about them
The cost of state government has
risen rapidly in recent years. perhaps
too rapidly. but the writer's and speak
ers who attribute the rise to the Pro
gressvc political faction are utterly
wrong 1t looks unfair for a man to
denounce increased cost of government
without putting his finger on the par
ticular expenditure that is wrong.
Six years ago we had a political
campaign based on the issue of reduc-
ton of taxes and reduction of the num-
Der of state boards and commissions.
Gov. Phillip was elected on the affr
native Of that issue. and has been in
control for six years. During those
six years the general annual expense
Of the state government. exclusive OF
educational expenditures increased
from S7.91G.229 per year to S1G,354,
800. and the total number OF state
boards and commissions increased from
:I3 TO CO. In the face of these figures,
it takes quite a stretch of the imagina-
ton to lay all the blame on Bob La
Toilette, who hasn't been connected
with the state government for - years.
Getting back to county and local
taxes. which we pay directly, and
which we can control by electing Off
cials who will carry ont our wishes, let
us see just where the county taxes go.
and how expenditures compare with
those of some years ago.
Following is classified list of the
principal expenditures Of the county,
comparing those for the year 1920
with those for 1912. The reason for
taking 1912 is that that was the first
year in which expenditures were com
piled under this classification. Odd
cents are omitted in the items

COUNTY DIVISION BUG
BITES A FEW, VERY FEW

The county division bug has got go
ing again and last week there was con-
siderable agitation about the rumOr
that a bill had been introduced in the
legislature to detach the south tier of
townships from Sawyer county. SO
far as can be learned the rumOr $
groundlcss and no such bill has been
introduced. Judging from the num-
her of bills that have been killed so
far this year at Madison the present
legislature is composed of a bunch that
may be termed hard boiled"
Anyone fathering a county division
through this term would have to jam
it through at night or while the legis-
lature is not looking. for anything that
comes up which spells added expense
is given the axe as soon as it is read
to the assembly. The bugaboo that
has sprung up every two years need not
give anyone much concern. as the sit
uatiOn is seen just now in this local
ity. But yet we have with us some
people who believe that Topping off a
few townships is as easy as slicing off
Il piece of ham. Investigation has
shown that all persons in the south tier
of townships are not yet willing to be
put over into some other county and
no one has heard that they are keep
ing their trunks packed for the big
