May CONSIDER
CHARTER AGAIN
Mass Meeting Will Be Held
Monday Evening to Decide
Action on Charter

Shall the people of Bemidji vote
on new charter at the general cleo
tion, November z?
: That's the question now before the
Charter Commission.
Citizens, by the score are request
ing the Charter Commission to call
a meeting and make changes suggest
ed in the last charter and submit
it to the vote Of the people at the
general election, when representa-
tive vote will be cast.
C. W. Vandersluis, chairman of the
commission advises that he will call
a meeting Of the Charter Commission
for Monday night at o'clock in the
rooms of the Civic and Commerce
association at which time t will be
decided whether or not enough people
are interested in securing new char
ter.
In the past, public interest has been
lax. Taxpayers and voters seemed
Indifferent. After the charter was
lost, many expressions of regrets were
heard, but it was then too late.
The public is invited to the meeting
In fact, business men and other tax
payers are urged to be present. Up
on the interest they will take at the
meeting, depends the action of the
commission. If a large representa-
tive body of taxpayers attend and ex-
press themselves in favor of submit
ting a new charter to the people, the
chances are that the commission will
act. If not, the chances are that
the commission will let the matter
drop.
It will be up to the taxpayers to
attend this meeting Monday night.
The hall should be packed to the
doors if this commission is to be
persuaded to prepare new charter.
No one can blame the commission if
interest is lacking at the Monday
night meeting.
The charter must be posted or
published twenty days before cleo
ton day and every day counts. If
you are interested in the welfare of
the city, you will be there.

NORMAL HISTORY IL ADVERTISING.
Historians who study newspapers to
loar- the habits and customs Of peoples
say hey gain more information from
advertisements than from news ae-
counts. and that the information i'm
parted in advertisements Is more ae-
cuate Advertisements tell their stOr-
les without the intrusion Of the editor
ial blue pencil. They show the devel-
opmCnt in transit, they disclose the
changing conditions Of the home. they
announce the birth Of scientific diseov-
cry and invention, they prove the worth
Of that which is true and numerically
expose the sham and the fraud. They
tell Of our varying taste in dress, they
show cur belief in sanitation, they dis
close our love Of sport, describe our
work they mark the change in the
status Of womanhood and youth, they
visualize the moulding of our morals
and our methods and present to US hu-
manity from the fnaneier to the finale
hopper.
The newspaper subscriber who fails
to resd advertisements misses more
than half the value of his favorite pub
lieation. Advertising is news of the
highest Importance and the most reli-
able news presented to the people. Dur
ing the war, when Michael Friedssm,
the great New York merchant, was ap-
pointed to serve as Fair Price Commits
sioner by the government, he was asked
how the public could be best kept in
formed as to honesty of prices. His
reply was terse and true: "Let them
read the newspaper advertisements"

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT AMER
ICANISM.

Pres censorship is unnecessary, so far
as the rank and file of these papers
is concerned, especially the small city
dailies and country weeklies, who ever
stand for truth and patriotism, as
against socialistic exploitation.
The country press is today in the
forefront to combat and give pitiless
publicity to the forces trying to under
mine the Constitution of the United
States and overthrow our government.
History is full of warnings. People
in ancient times said: at can't happen"
And the same thing was said in Russia
but few years ago.
1t can happen. Our entire social and
commercial fabric is threatened, else
the reports that filter through the press,
from the department of justice-the
Nations secret serviee-and other
sources, are not to be relied upon.
It's through the Country Press" that
public opinion is nodded, and if too
late it is discovered that certain inter-
ests have succeeded in getting control
it will be due to Indifferent support
of the loyal and patriotic one hundred
per cent American country press

MATCHES AND TOBACCO.

The FIRE danger incident to the use
Of matches and tobacco, writes Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wallace, is usually
given little consideration by the vast
army Of smokers.
Statistics compiled by the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters show that
the annual loss from fires caused by
matches and burning tobacco in the
United States reached the impressive
total Of more than s79,000,000 during
the fve-year period 1915 to 1919, inclu-
sive.
To this total must be added eonsid-
cradle percentage Of the unnecessary
fire destruction in the forests Of our
country, where each year fires destroy
or damage sufficient timber to build
homes for the entire population Of a
city the size Of Washington, New Or
leans, Denver or San Francisco.
Campers, hunters, fishermen and
woods workers should read this and re-
solve that their earelessness will not
contribute to destructive forest fires.

And now it turns out that the eoun-
try, especially in New York and other
eastern centers, is flooded with millions
of dollars worth of narcotics by dope
ring, and that some of our government
officials are members of it, and have
been swindling the government out OF
millions, to say nothing about the dam
nable crime of supplying addicts with
immense quantities of deadly drugs. 1t
is hard to believe that men can sink so
low in the scale of humanity as to do
such things

COUNTRY TOWN OF TODAY.

Time was when the evening closed in
on the average little village out any
where around the country like the COM
ing Of sleep. The cool air blew clearly
and the lights from the kerosene lamps
in the windows were hardly more bright
than the distant stars. The insects
ehirped shrilly in the fields and forest
adjoining, the frogs in the old swim
ming hole at the outskirts sang glad
chorus, the soft breezes whispered
through the trees and far away over the
meadow COW mooed for its calf. That
was all some time ago. 1t is different
now.
Now with the evening hour the loose
planks Of the bridge rattle as the farm
ers' motor Cars come charging in at
thirty miles an hour. The dust and
the smoke Of the Fords shut off the
stargliht, but the red, white and blue
electric signs Of Bills Bile Beans and
Melodian Hall Jazz make fair second
edition of the Great White Way. There
is no longer the smell Of new-mown
hay in the air, but instead the smell
Of consumed gasoline, peanuts, perfume
and hot dog sandwiches. The song Of
the katydid is hushed by the stentorian
tones Of a politician running for office,
the bong bong Of aSalvation Army bass
drum on one corner and the oratory on
another Of the radical telling just how
the Genoa and Hague conferences ought
to have been run.
The old time quiet country village
is going tn eway Of many other noble
traditions. Quiet is old fashioned. 1t
smacks Of mournfulness and argues a
want Of enterprise and get-up-and-git, a
steady interest in doing nothing at all.
The quiet country village will never be
quiet again as long as farmer folks get
tired Of the quiet of the daytime, and
there are fivyers that will carry the
whole family into town to meet other
families to take in the movies, consume
peanuts, devour the suceulent hot-dog
and send up gas smoke and dust to OBJ
scure the blue canopy Of the silent
heavens

LET The PEOPLE THINK.

As the people complain about growing
tax burdens they are slowly coming to
a realization Of the fact that the load
they are carrying is largely result OF
their own acts.
That is they have been willing to
adopt without counting the cost in ad-
vance. every new-fangled proposed
idea relative to city, county or state
government or our system OF public ed
ucstion.
The public has a right to demand
that candidates for public Office be quail
ihed for the positions they are to nil
and they have a right to demand bus
mess administration Of public affairs.
1t is unfair, however, TO elect man
to oftice on an economy and business
platform and in the same election vote
for the passage of various measure
which add millions TO the tax burden
of the state If the people do this they
have but themselves to blame when the
tax collector comes around.
As the family keeps within its in
come. prospers and produces good cit
liens as a result Of an example set by
the IGlneI ana MOlutE III AAiS OaA4. hAS
of the family, so will the state grow
and develop and keep its tax require
ments reasonable in proportion to the
thought and intelligence manifested by
the members Of this great collective
family, namely its citizens.
Public officials are merely the hired
employees of the people. The average
employe will furnish good or bad ser
vice according to the example set him
by his employers.
Go to the poles and vote as carefully
on public affairs as you would on mat
ters affecting your own family life. Dc
not vote to expend public funds and
then kick at paying the tax bill. Such
a course is as foolish as to contract
family bills and complain at the collec-
tor for insisting on payment.
Here is the first step the people must
take in any program of economy and
business management in public expendi-
tures.-The Manufacturer.

PHYSICAL FORCE METHODS DYING.

The great coal strike and the threat

last efforts 70 revive expiring physical
force methods.

death Of strikes.
Intelligence is taking the place of
force, and strikes are going into the
discard with militarism.-The Manufae-

HARNESS IN DEMAND.

Not by any means is the horse har-
ness business extinct, according to the
report of W. II. McMonies g. Co., to the
Associated Industries. The demand for
collars---in which the firm specializes--
far exceeds the capacity Of the still ex-
istent factories. Shipments are being
made TO California and Nevada and par
tieularly good Is the demand from Mon
tana. A recent order for 500 dozen
horse collars had to be refused on ac-
count Of inability to fill the order on
time, says Associated Industries Of Or
egon. which would seem to indicate
that "old Dobbin" is still on the job
and carrying his share of the burden.

VITAL STATISTICS IN

Especial correspondence to Inc JOurnaI.J


Las Vegas, n. NJ, Jan. 3l.--
Failure Of doctors and midwiyes to
report births makes the vital sta
tistics of San Miguel county indi-
cate that death is triumphant over
the stork. Reports received for the
year 1921 show 351 deaths and 249
births in the entire county, includ-
ing the city of Las Vegas and the
town Of Las Vegas. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that II reports had
been made faithfully, the births
would have exceeded the deaths
by a good sized majority.
Efforts to bring about a more
complete report are being made
There is n law that requires all
births and deaths to be reported
and the public's attention is being
called to that fact. Sub-registrars
will be appointed in various parts Of
the county, whose duty it will be to
receive the reports and forward
them to the county health depart
ment. A small fee will be paid for
return of certificates.
Last years births in East Las
Vegas were 100; deaths, SO. Births
in the town of Las Vegas were 81;
deaths. 121. Births reported from
country districts were SIS; deaths,
1874
Many New Mexico cities and
towns have a death rate that is
higher than normal because Of the
fact that many people come here
for their health too late to get the
benefit of the climate.
