WHAT LETTERS MEAN.

A subscriber inquiries as to what the
letters ga, "B", 3D., "T", tx" and
''Z'. over the figures "21" on the new
auto license tags mean. Believing
that this is a matter not generally
known, we will reply by giving the
following explanation in the Review
for the benefit of the inquirer and all
others Interested: Cars having a
license tag with the letter "a" come
under the minimum tax of SIP per year.
The great majority Of them are Fords.
The letter "B" on a license tag in
dicates that the owner has paid tax
of more than $12. Cd" designates
dealers licenses; "T'' signifies a truck
on which less than the minimum tax is
paid; "X" is used to specify trucks
paying more than the minimum tax,
and ''Z'' is found on every license tag
for trailer or semi trailer.

things the state of Minnesota is not
trying to do at all. Their slow pro-
gress is simply slow progress and not
something that makes farmers or other
people worse off than they would be
if no such attempts were made.
Everything North Dakota does has
to be 100 per cent legal, because cor
poration lawyers pick up every mis-
placed comma. The little state has
made wonderful fight, and it is
enough to bring tears to ones eyes to
note the way these farmers are robbed
of about everything in the market, are
digging down for their dimes and
pennies to fight the recall campaign.
The heart of the nation should cry
out against the way Wall Street with
it's boycott and it's millions of slush
funds is fighting these farmers with
taeir hands tied by "normalcy.

N othlmg "TeYibul'.

The great argument against any
serious reform these days appears
to be: The people urging this reform
are in some way connected with the
Nonpartisan League and look at the
.''terribul' results in North Dakota!
Thus, the League gets credit for
everything of merit for the people in
the Northwest, and good deal of
merit which it doesn't deserve because
the working people and other liberal
elements of cities and towns are be-.
ginning to make their own contribu-
tions to progress. The farmers are
finding strong allies for political &C
ton
We dare say that the talk about
terrible results in North Dakota
have been repeated so often, that
many who have no chance to investi-
gate the whole question come to be-
heve that something terrible happened
there. Now, let us say with all the
power we can command that no ter
rible thing or things have happened
there that the League is in any way
responsible for.
North Dakota farmers are hard hit
by prices; but in Minnesota also they
have been begging the banks for the
last six months for money to pay
taxes. Some banks had to suspend;
in Minnesota also banks were down
on the rocks and were relieved of the
full strain by diversified farming.
Measures which took no big invest
ment were put through efficiently.
Farmer legislators, somehow, had
sense enough not to slip in jokers in
good laws, as is done in Minnesota.
Laws for labor, relief of small homes
and farm improvements from taxation,
state hail insurance the grain inspec-
tion act, laws enforcing fair compe-
tition especially in butter fat buying,
the first soldier bonus, careful watch
ing of great corporations all these
things, and more, have been helping
the plain people of North Dakota.
They have not produced millennium,
of course, and no farmer expected they
would.
The big things. like the state-owned
terminal mills and elevators and the
rural credit loans on land and ware
house receipts, have been held up by
the, boycott against the state bonds.
But these things are extra, so to speak,

Dangerous Words.

Imagine ]. P. Morgan, banker, and
Ole Olson, wideawake farmer, meeting
some fine day in an informal manner,
Talk about the weather, gradually
drifting into talk about general affairs
they both agree that Americanslm or
patriotism are fine things.
They can easily agree and yet they
would agree on nothing. To Morgan
Americanism would mean more banker
management for the country; more
business in government; an eight per
cent guarantee to the railroads in
stead of five and one-half, etc. To
Olson it would mean what plain people
think it means unselfish regard for
the country, the greatest good to the
greatest number of citizens, free speech,
press and conscience. Obviously, then
they would agree on no vital point.
We use this illustration to show how
dangerous it is to run after the catch:
words and phrases used at the present
time. They are of the fog and mist in
which Ole Olson or any other plain
citizen is certain to get lost. This is
why the worst profteers can be for
100 per cent Americanism; why their
public defense of patriotism is stronger
than ordinarily decent citizens can
make it..
Safety lies in combining our reason
ing more to concrete things. Instead
of patriotism, patriotic acts or un-
patriotic acts. Instead of Socialism,
public ownership of postofices or rail-
roads or state hail insurance. Instead
of freedom, whether we are free to
expose profteering and crooked poll
tics. Instead of Americansim, fair
taxation, better farm marketing, moves
to promote world peace, steady en-
ployment at living wages, better edu-
cation.
Patriotism, Americanism, Socialism
are what those who make grammars
call abstract nouns. That is, they do
not name things, but are formed from
adjectives; patriotic, American, social.
They have no substance like the
words, horse, barn or land. And,
having no substance, the second person
cannot possibly know what the speaker
who uses them has in mind. A mono
polist can advocate Americanism and
charge his government three prices
for way supplies at the same time.
Words are dangerous. Those who
follow abstract words, (pardon the
pun) have lost and will continues to
lose their substance to the clever
manipulators of these words.

The Milford Tax Case

rate being $3.50 mills. It might be.
stated, in passing, that this is an
average school district of Brown coun-
IT,, some of them having highter tax
rate on account of improvements made,
within the past few years, while others
have lower rate, all depending upon
local conditions, as the state and coun-
ty tax rate is the same in each city,,

Of the $155.85 taxes paid by the owner

treasury is enriched by $36.34, being a
ltrifle over 1882 per cent; the school

TO CONSECRATE
CHURCH TO-DAY
CONTINUED from page ~

Marks church, Minneapolis, gave
$1,000. A lot was purchased for $500
out Of this gift, leaving 5000 for the
building fund. Mr.. A. w. Bingham
advanced $4,000, the Ladies Guild
took care of a mortgage OF $4,000 and
the balance was given by individual
contributors. The total cost Of the
church was SIS, 500. A few years later,
when the mission had only paid back
a portion Of the money advanced by
Mr.. Bingham, he cancelled the debt,
some LOO, besides the interest. This
left the church free from debt, as the
Ladies Guild had raised enough money
to pay off the mortgage. It was
through Mr.. Bingham's great generos-
ity and devotion to the church that
st. Peters church has become reality
today. He loved the church and his
personal interest in the church was a
big factor in maintaining services here.
His great desire was to see the mission
become self-supporting parish with
a resident priest in charge.
Cornerstone Laid in 1905.
The cornerstone of the building was
laid August 8, 1905, by Bishop Edsall.
The first service in the church was
held December Is, 1905. by the Rev.
j. j. Hillmer, Phi. D., and the Rev.
E. N. Schmuck. The church was
formally opened by Bishop Edsall,
January 10, 1906. Mrs. A. w. Bing-
ham became the organist and choir
directress, and also donated the organ
to the church, which is still being used.
Through Mrs. Bingham's untiring
efforts a vested choir was organized
and the congregation had the privilege
of very churchly service. In this
way, the young people Of the parish
were cared for and their interest in the
church maintained. {
Guild Rooms in Basement.
About the year 1916 Mrs. A. NJ.
Bingham devised the plan of the
present Guild rooms in the church
basement, and the Ladies' Guild took
care of a mortgage of 81, 500 to have
this improvement made. The last
payment on this mortgage was made
last year, so that the church is now
entirely out of debt, otherwise it could
not be consecrated.
Pastors Stationed Here.
"The Rev. E. N. Schmuck resigned
November 4, 1906. After his resigna-
tion the following men from Seabury
Divinity School were in charge: 1867,
the Rev. F. A. Martyr; 1907-9, the
Rev. G. T. Lawton, S. T. D.; 1909-1O,

the year 1919 the people felt that the

porting, and arrangements were made
to secure resident priest. The Rev.
