RACE PURSES TOO BIG.

The following item from the Spring
Valley Sun will be of especial interest
to the River Falls horsemen who were
forced to carry home the staggering
burden Of premiums" from the
Pierce County Fair races.
The Sun Says:
IF the (FaiI) management wishes
to economize it can easily do so by
cutting down on the horse race prem
ium list. This feature costs the most
and has the least pulling power Of
anything connected with the fair.
This semi-graft should be abolished.
One or two GOOD races might be adj
yisable-but there are no good ones
now, and the total premiums run up
to large sum of money"
One can pick ur some marvellous
dope around racing stables, but the
Spring Valley scribe leaves all pad
dock birds at the post when he trots
out that boisterous line about Pierce
County Fair race premiums running
UP to large sum of money. And he
losses nasty harpoon when he states
that in his opinion better races might
be secured by raging less money. The
Fair officials should secure this wiz
ard at once to manage next years
Programmed save them the trouble
of printing paid admission tickets.

The state Department Of Markets
after sizing up the potato situation
predict a big shortage and high prices,
in Wisconsin. The commercial crop
for this yeaar is estimated at fifteen
thousand car loads as against twenty
six thousand at this time year ago.
The cabbage crop also is short this
year according to the Department OF
Markets. The yield in Wisconsin this
year will be about rs thousand tons
as compared with 165 tons last year.
Prof. John r. Commons of the I'm
iversity discussing Unemployment
before the Madison Kiwanis club on
Oct. 8 said that the first difficulty in
dealing with unemr oyment in this
country is practical politics. There
are three kinds of politics he said.
political politics, capitalist politics and
labor politics. When the government
opened public employment offices dur
ing the war, the labor unions thought
they were entitled to the appoint
ment, and it turned out that labor
politicians got the jobs. No employer
will continue to have unemployed per-
sons sent to him by labor politician.
so Congress killed most of the en-
ployment offices by withdrawing the
appropriations Now the capitalists
are in control of the employment Of
fees. and this means also labor pclit-
icians. but different kind who cater
to capitalists instead of labor unions.
This see-saw is to be expected. 1t is
not worth while. said Prof. Commons.
for President Harding's unemploy-
nient conference to recommend to Con-
gress the starting up again Of the
Federal employment offices unless it
shows Congress how to keep them out
of the hands of political politicians,
capitalist and labor politicians.

the coming year? This is a question
of immediate interest to every owner
of property in the state, especially in
view of the fact that the last lesisla-
ture made big appropriations vet pro-
vided additional revenue to meet them
only in the case of teachers retire
ment fund! A small surtax on in
come provides the million dollars a
year required by the retirement fund
You may put down in your memorials
dunn book that the tax levy of rext
year will be higher than that of next
year. This is inevitable witr the state
growing steadily and the people
through their legislature demanding
improvements Of all kinds, improve
ment of our educational system, inn
provement in the care of the criminal
and defective classes, better sanitary
conditions for children and for work
men. In view of this no intelligent
person should be beguiled by the poll
itical orator into thinking that the
burden of his taxes will be lightened
And after all our taxes are not our
chief burden, and the conditions in our
state and country are so much super
ior to those existing in other coun-
tries that there should be no COM
rlaint here so long as public revenues
are wisely spent. DR.. w. A. Scott of
the department of economies at the
University has just returned from an
eight weeks stay in England and
France. In England he reports about
| SO per cent of the average taxable in
come is taken in taxes, and the pur-
chasing power of what remains is re-
duced to about one-third. In France
there are hundreds and thousands of
tax delinquents and the authorities
are unable to enforce the payment Of
a goodly per cent of the tax levy.
Wisconsin tax payers have more rea-
sons to be thankful than they have to
complain.

Burglars Make
Loot Attempt

Burglars made an attempt to rob
the Morrissey-Hoffman Trading Co.,
safe on Tuesday night of this week,
but failed to accomplish their task
They gained entrance thru the ware
house sheds and got into the office
by demolishing a door lock. After
entrance was gained they took an ell
ectric drill used in the machine shop
and tried to drill thru the brick wall
of the vault. The wires used for
connection were too short so wire
from the electric fan was attached.
In the process the fuse was blown
out and their efforts failed. On
leaving the building suddenly, after
fearing that an alarm had been sent
in, one of the men left his hat.
The burglars started in on their
work early in the evening evidently
about $3.50 o'clock. One arrest has
been made in connection with the
| case, and the suspected man is in
jail here

NEW AUTO Plates
ARRIVE IN CITY

The first 1921 automobile plate
with its poppy colored back ground
and black embossed figures, made its
appearance on the streets here this
morning and attracted more than or
dinary attention.
Licenses fees and applications have
been going rapidly from the valley
since Jan. 18th in El Centre, and
! since January 18th in Brawley, the
latter date being the one in which
Neal H. Gavin opened the Brawley
branch of the Auto Club Of Southern
California.
The new plate carries the figures
to the right Of "Cal. 21'' instead of
the left as on the old plates. The
new plates are apparently of little
better quality than the old ones,
something the motorists will be
pleased to note as the 1920 plates
were of such flimsy material that
frequent loss of numbers was re-
ported and service stations were
constantly accumulating lost plates
found On the road.

HARRIS WINS
LAND CLAIM IN
LONG BATTLE

Don Bitter, attorney in the case of
Mack c. Harris, of INLAND, yesterday
received the decree of the United
States general land office from the
Secretary of the Interior in which his
contentious were again sustained and
Mr.. Harris was awarded the 60 acres
which had been thrown back and forth
since October, 1916.
The land was thrown open on that
date and Mack c. Harris, Alfred D.
Ogden and Harold V. U. Lien settled
upon the southwest quarter of Sec
tion so, >township. 10, range IA, just
west and north of inland. Each
homesteader was entitled to- claim
160 acres, but the three were claim
ing the same 160 acres.
The contest in the Ell Centro land
: office followed Harris lost by the
first decision, which was that Ogden
and Lien moved on the piece stimuli
taneously and that Harris moved on
fifteen minutes later. The case was
appealed to the Commissioner of the
general land office, who ruled that
the local land office was correct.
Harris then appealed to the Secretary
of the Interior and that official said
that Harris and the others filed
simultaneously and he awarded Har-
ris the south sixty acres and each
Of the others fifty.
Lien and Ogden asked for a re-
hearing on the ground that each Har-
ris acre was worth twice as much as
each of the other acres and that Har-
ris had not lived on the place. The
local land office again decided against
Harris and Harris appealed. The
land commissioner at Washington
then reversed the local land office, |
but Lien apepaled while Ogden did
not press the matter further.
Yesterday the opinion of the Sec
retary of the Interior-who in the |
meantime was a different official
from the one first passing on the |
case, was received and Harris is again |
the victor.
However, three days before the de-
cision was rendered Harris had |
bought the interest of Lien and is
now contesting the interest of Ogden
and is asking for the entire quarter
