ALWAYS HAVE WITH u.s.


1t was foretold by Holy Writ that
the poor we should always have with
us. For obvious reasons no mention
by the same authority was made OF
railroad rates and taxes, yet these we
surely have with us more visibly even
than we have the poor. They supply
the topics for private conversation
and are the stock in trade Of the agi-
tator and aspirant for political honors.
The writer of this holds no brief for
either the tax assessor or the rail
roads. The first is to be pitied; the
railroads have committed so many
foolish blunders that they deserve no
pity. Nothing in the situation how
ever warrants the tax payer or the
payer of railroad rates and all come
under the latter classification-from
exercising the more or less effective
intellect he has to ascertain whether
he is justified in joining with the apos-
ties of unrest in blowing hot air
against the railroads.
Some reference has already been
made in this paper to the subJec. oil
taxes SO this item will concern itself
only with railroad rates. 1t is not for
the purpose of mitigating the woes of
the railroads that this is touched upon,
but in the interest of clear thinking
on the part of the public upon those
matters which directly affect its well
being.
If you think high freight rates are
a burden to you figure out as you can
easily how much it adds to the cost OF
even suit of clothes, pair of shoes,
hat, or underwear you buy. Find how
much it increases the cost of the meat,
flour, sugar, coffee, ETC., your family
consumes. 1t isn't necessary to do this
! for you; you can do it, and when you
have the figures you'll be ashamed to
| think You ever complained, the added
cost over that of four or five years
ago will seem so trifling. 1t isn't
enough to speak about. Ii you are
smoker your tobacco, cigars and Gig
arettes cost you as much each day
as the excessive freight rates add t.
your cost of living for a week.
Railroad passenger rates are JUS
about double what they were in thi:
state before the war. But we insisi
that passenger trains be run so tina
when we desire to do so we may trav
ell, although the income from any pas
senger train run today in Wisconsin
with the doubled rate of fare is les
by far than it was five years ago. ID
you realize that in Wisconsin aion
there are at least half million PEG
pie daily using automobiles to reae
their offices or more distant destina
tions who few years ago were dali
riding street railways and railroa

In the Senate debate on the revenue
bill passed by the House lively dis
cussion arose over taxation on chew
ling gum. Senator Reed declared.
"We have Wrigley's tutti-frutti,
Wrigley's California fruit, Wrigley's
pepsin, Wligley's chiclets, Wrioley's
spearmint and perhaps Wrigley's
wriggles." He has defaced the entire
landscape of this and other countries
with aboRlinable advertisements of
his abominable product In response
to Senator Reeds speech number
of Senator's rose to protect the gum
and incidently the man who manu-
featured it and for an hour the sub
iect of chewine. gum occupied the at
tention of the highest legislative body
in the nation. 1t is an interesting
fact that in the preDaration of tax
bill every interest that is taxed pro-
tests against the tax provision but
usually fails to suggest any alterna-
tive from which money can be col
lected The problem of legislator
is how to raise money to meet expen-
SEES and it is the same problem on a
larger scale as that which confronts
the town board or the county board
or the state legislature, although the
powers in such cases are more limit
ed. kilograms and letters of protest
are of value when they point out ar
alternative not open to the same OBJ,

SO So
Approximately one-half the antici-
pated potato crop deficit was wiped
out by the unusually favorable Sep
TENDER, according to Joseph A. Beck
err, State Federal Crop Reporter. The
United States crop on September l
was estimated at 1923 million bush
els, compared to 428 million in 1920
and year average of 81 million.
BY October 1, the crop had improved
to such extent that the production
was estimated at 346 million bush
els, only Is million bushels short Of
the average. The increase, however,
occurred largely in the Eastern states.
Production i'm the three principal
surplus states of the Mississippi Val
ley, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, was estimated at rs million
bushels, compared to Sc million on
September /. 81 million produced
last year, and 5 year average of 81
million bushels. Production this year
will, therefore, be three million bu
short of the average in these three
potato shipping States. Potato pro-
duction in the Mississippi Valley
states lying south Of the 8 surplus
states will have approximately 81
million bushels this year, compared tt
SIS million last year and 5-year av.
erage of 81 million bushels. These
states constitute the main market fol
the excess of Wisconsin, Michigan ant
Minnesota.

JUDGE KNOWLES STORY

The banquet given for Adj. General
Holway recently was livened with =
number of numerous stories, among
which was the following by Judge w.
p. Knowles.
The Judge laid the scene of his
story at central meeting place OF
citizens from the towns Of Elmwood
and Spring Valley. An Elmwood
speaker was first on the program,
and he discoursed at great length on
the greatness of his home town.
Everything in Elmwood, according to
the speaker, was OF the best-the
very best that any little town Of Elm
woods size could boast. All it need
ed was to have great body of water,
like Lake Pepin, to make it the great
est little town in the world.
The next speaker was from Spring
Valley. "VaI," said he, AYE did not
came har to boast about my hum
town, but aye will sal dis--if the Aim
vud SPEAKER could suck as hard so he
can blow, all he vud need to do is to
lay pipe cross country and suck
Lake Pepin over to Almvud and he'd
have all the tangs they'd need to be
the greatest little city IN da world
Again leading figure in public life
has been stricken down in active serv-
ice. Probably no more conspicuous
man in the Senate could have been re-
moved than Senator Knox, and his
death created distinct shock because
during the day he had been actively
associated with his colleagues in work.
The same is true Of Congressman
Kitcchin, Minority leader, who was
stricken in the House with a paraly-
tic shock and has never been able to
resume his position. The strain in
public life with those who engage in
hard work is not due to public de-
bates or the spectacular side of leg
islation. The problems that confront
men some times call for every energy
that men can bring to bear in the
committee as well as in debate by his
marshalling of facts. This is the
work that broke down such men as
Knox, Kitchin and a score of others
who have been stricken during the
last four years and indicates the
strain that comes to men in public
service who do not measure their work
by their strength.

Fords Hit by Blizzard

BY Special Correspondent.
FORDS, Feb. 21-The snowstorm
here late Saturday night has virtual
ly tied up all ways of travelling from
here to Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick. The trolley lines are
tied up, and a "a has not gone
through this place since 1:40 Sunday
morning. 1t is believed, however.
that by tonight traffic on the streets
will be resumed.
A trolley car that made an at
tempt to come from New Brunswick
hit a large snowbank near Rogan's
r and the front trucks were
forced from the track. The crew.
after finding that it was impossible
to get the car back on the tracks,
closed the doors and left the car
standing and walked to Perth Am
boy, as did the few passengers that
were on it.
A few automobiles have succeeded
in making a path through New
Brunswick avenue, but the way is
difficult and was attempted by only
those who found 1t necessary to try
TO get to Perth Amboy or New
Brunswick. Snowbanks along this
street are about three feet high in
places,
