A Satisfied Customer.

A manufacturer is not through with
his customer when sale is complet-
ed. He has then only started with his
customer. In the case of an automo-
bile, the sale of the machine is only
something in the nature Of an intro
duction. If the machine does not give
service then it is better for the manu-
facturer if he never had the introduce
ton, for he will have the worst Of all
advertisement-ad dissatisfied customer.
There was something more than a
tendency in the early days Of the
automobile to regard the selling of a
machine as the real accomplishment
and that thereafter it did not matter
what happened to the buyer. That is
the shortsighted salesman on commits
sion attitude. If salesman is paid
only for what he sells-it is not to be
expected that he is going to exert any
great effort on a customer out of
whom no more commission is to be
made. A man who bought one of our
cars was, in my opinion, entitled to
continuous use Of that car, and there

made to put the bonus bill through
with all possible speed. It is impossi-
BILE to forecast how much time will be
consumed in debate. The finance COM
mittee is trying to keep the annual
cost of the bonus within a 100000
900 limit hoping in this way to mini
mize the administrations opposition
to the measure. They propose to hold
down the cost by limiting the borrow
ings which may be made against what
ever character of securities it is de-
cided to give the former service men.
Presumably because most of the
world is preoccupied with other things,
the work of perfecting the program
mapped out by the Washington arms
conference is proceeding slowly. Thus
far the United States alone has given
notification Of it's readiness to ex-
change notifications Of conference
treaties, and although under confer
ence agreements the personnel of two
important commissions was to have
been completed by May 6, apparently
no steps have been taken toward selec-
ton of members. One of these is to
attempt revision of the rules of war
and the other to investigate territori-
atty in China.

Facts. Not Fiction.

During 1921 more than $1,000 gov
eminent claims of former service men
were handled by the Minnesota legion
service bureau in the old capitol and
government redtape was successfully
slashed or unwound. It is interesting
to know that 4S per cent of these
claims were for compensation, voca-
tional training and medical and hos
pital treatment. The Legion auxiliary
to St. Paul post No. 8 has a platform
which reads: "That all funds of this
auxiliary be used solely for the relief
Of disabled veterans, fathcrless chill
dren, widows and dependents of de-
ceased veterans, and that no one is
authorized to solicit funds for this
auxiliary without written authorlza-
ton from the executive committee"

Aliens Returning Home.

Italians, Poles and other immigrants,
who once furnished large proportion
of the foreign-born population Of this
country, are returning to their native
lands in consequence of prohibition,
unemployment and other causes faster
than they are arriving, according to
an analysis of the latest figures issued
by the bureau of immigration.
The exchange Of racial stocks be-
tween the United States and other con-
tinents has been radically altered by
the operation of the new immigra-
ton laws and by new conditions on
the continent and in Europe.
Of the nationalities, as distinguished
from races, quitting this country, the
Poles lead. In the eight months end
ed February % of this year $4,000
of them returned to Poland and 5000
arrived, so that the United States sus,
tanned net loss of 10000 Poles. Ir
the same period, $4,000 Italians re-
turned to Italy and $4,000 arrived.
In spite of the establishment Of thu
Irish Free state, which for a while
seemed to put stop to the arrival o:
Irish immigrants, they are continuing
to come in greater numbers than the!
are leaving. In February 1852 Irisl
immigrants arrived and 166 returned
During the eight months period 10,
353 Irish arrived and 1861 departed.

. Taxing Growing Trees Wrong.

Taxing Growing Trees Wrong.
Governor Preus advocated some
thing in his talk before the Chicago
forestry conference Of seven states
that will be supported heartily by ev-
erybody who has given even the light
est thought to the problem Of refores-
tation.
This is that the states abandon the
present plan of taxing growing trees
every year. A tax applied only when
the tree is cut would provide adequate
revenue without making it unprofita-
bic to grow trees for lumber.
The natural forests are going fast.
Unless they are renewed America will
soon be without timber of it's own. In
this section, once the greatest white
pine district in the country, only a
remnant is left of what were vast
forests.
Obviously the thing to do is to plant
and grow trees. State and nation can
do this to some extent, but it also
ought to be made possible for private
capital to do it. It is not practical
now, when an annual tax is levied on
forest land so that when the timber is
matured and cut it can hardly be sold
for enough to repay the cost of taxa
ton. The folly of the ad valorem tax
as applied to land that is being re-
forested is palpable. Moreover, the
pressure Of this tax encourages too
rapid cutting of standing timber.
Probably it would require consti-
tutional amendment, but Minnesota, if
it does not want to see numbering an
utterly extinct industry, must substi-
tute an output tax for it's ad velorem
tax on timber lands at the earliest
possible moment.-Duluth Herald.

the county. The attorneys Of the
bond companies had all the legal ma
chinery prepared for the calling of
this special election if the county
board would pass a motion authoriz-
ing it.
After brief discussion by the men,
bers of the board Carl Eckdall moved
that a special election to decide the
question of issuing $150,000 bonds to
cover the expense Of erecting a new
court house be called for June 10, the
day Of the primary election. Fred
Newton, seconded the motion, which
was carried by vote Of four to one.
John Axell cast the one vote against
the motion.
A motion was then passed accepting
the proposition of the trust companies
represented. According to this agree
ment these companies, working with
our county attorney, will take care of
all legal proceedings connected with
this bond election. The county will
pay them $3.50 for their legal services
and they will pay the county bonus
of 1 per cent Of the bond issue, or
$780,. If the election is carried, the
bonds will. be issued Immediately and
will be sold to these trust companies.
The bonds will mature in 16 to 20
years and will draw per cent interest.
If the election fails to carry the coun-
ty is under no obligations to the trust
companies except that these COM
panies are to have an option on the
bonds at any similar election held
within the following year.
The board remained in session
Wednesday interviewing architects
who wished to submit plans for the
proposed new court house. On May ~
the board will hold a special session
to finally decide on the firm that will
be employed to draw the plan that will
be submitted to the people at the cleo
ton on June 10. The site and the en-
tire building, absolutely complete with
the heating plant and all plumbing in
stalled, is to cost $4,000.

Accidental Criminals.


In protecting a community from
crime, as in protecting it from disease
and costly litigation, the modern ten
dency is to find out fundamental
causes and then to prevent as far as
possible their occurrence. Locking up
the criminal temporarily is no protec-
ton for society unless the criminal is
cured and other persons are kept from
becoming criminals. Not sentimental
sympathy but straight common sense
is back of much Of the present-day

Gently told a group of business men:
"Sixty per cent Of our boys are ac-

There is no reason to assume that
any of that 60 per cent are born
criminals at heart, or that any of
them, having committed single crime
must inevitably go into career of
offense against law and order and
decency.
Wholesome recreation, enough suit
able and interesting work to keep
hands and brains occupied, the feeling
that the world is with them and not
! against them, the friendly sympathy
of wise adult expressed at the right
time, are some of the things which
would prevent those first offenses or
any subsequent repetition of them

Revival of Religion.

An esteemed bishop Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who has a reputa-
ton for looking into the heart of
things, speaking at a conference in
Baltimore a couple Of weeks ago, ex-
pressed the rather pessimistic opinion
that never was home life more i'm
periled or youth in their teens charac-
terized by lower morals than at pres
ent. Yet he also felt constrained to
admit that he had great hope for the
future because there never were more
young people in the church, in Sun
day schools, in Epworth leagues and
in theological seminaries. It is quite
true that the signs Of Hyperion and
|fapperdom are very much in evidence
just now, but sage observers do not
regard these juvenile manifestations
as being bad at bottom, but rather as
temporary phases Of youthful effer-
vescence, which will leave no perma-
nent disfguring mark.
The more hopeful view expressed
alike by the bishop and the sociolo-
gists is confirmed by a reflection on
the manner in which Easter day was
celebrated this year throughout the
United States. The newspapers tell
of churches Of every denomination
crowded to overlooking with congrega-
lions of devout worshipers, and the
sermons delivered speak Of new
realization on the part Of the people
of the significance to humanity of the
event commemorated.
Notwithstanding outward appear
ances Of levity, there seems to be no
doubt that since the war the spirit of
religion has been reawakened and
deepened to a wonderful extent among
the masses. It is spirit that has
healing on it's wings Washington
Post.
