The duty in The. emergency law now in
effect is 6 cents pound. At the first
hearing before the senate committee
the buttermen asked for an 8 cent
duty. Conditions in the butter market
in the last two months induced them
to ask for the 10 cent rate. Dairy as
sociations in Minnesota and Wisconsin
have asked for this rate upon the
grounds that the 6 cent duty imposed
in the emergency act, is inadequate.

Making 1t Unanimous.

A general committee OF anthracite
operators has issued an official state
ment to the effect that ''the price of
anthracite must be reduced in line
with the downward movement in all
other basic commodities"
Surely that makes it unanimous, for
everybody else in all the country had
been saying that same thing for many
months, and many had been saying it
much more vigorously than the an
thracite operators are at all likely to
say it.
What interested the hard coal pro-
ducers in this subject is that sales had
been tagging very disturbingly. The
egregiously high cost Of anthracite
has forced many economies which the
mildness of the early winter made pos
sible. With hard coal priced as it was,
those who could use soft coal or wood
did so; and unquestionably the short
sighted policy Of the anthracite pro-
ducers in holding their prices at such
lofty levels forced the saving of many
thousands Of tons. Very likely some
of it will be permanent, too, for prac-
tical ways of saving coal without suf-
fering will not be abandoned even if
the price does come little way down
toward what it ought to be.
And, of course, when the hard coal

Tax Repeal.

The following statement is issued
by the collector of internal revenue,
L. M. Willcuts, district of Minnesota:
In response to numerous inquiries
taxpayers are advised that certain
taxes, among them the so-called "nuis-
ance" and 'luxury" taxes, are re-
pea1ed, effective January 1, 1922, by
the revenue act of 1921.
Patrons of soda-water fountains, ice
cream parlors and "similar places of
business no longer are required to
pay the tax of l cent for each 10 cents
or fraction thereof on the amount ex-
pended for sodas, sundaes, or similar
articles Of food or drink. The small
boy may rejoice in the fact that an
ice cream cone doesn't cost an extra
penny. The tax imposed by the rove
nue. act of 1921 is on beverages and
the constituent parts thereof" and: is
paid by the manufacturer.
The tax on the transportation of
freight and passengers is repealed, eff

in 1920. But the disparity between
even this higher figure and the cost of
hard coal to the consumer will invaria-
bly, give rise to the reflection that if.
wages can come down, there must be
other items, including profits direct:
and indirect through coal freights that
can come down also. r.. .-..z&. =.
Not all the burden should be put on:
labor. If the hard coal producers ask
their workers to sacrifice, they also
should consent to sacrifice some of
their profits. :.
Anyway, the anthracite producers
are unquestionably right when they
say that hard coal prices should come
down. Nobody will rise to argue with
them about that.-Duluth Herald.

Our First Horses.

The first horses imported into the
United States were brought to New
England in 1929. One horse and
seven mares survived the voyage
Horses were not highly esteemed or
much needed in America at that time,
nor for hundred years afterward
There were no race courses or trotting
parks and the roads generally were so
poor that speed was not desirable had
it been possible with safety. Oxen
were found to be much better for all
farm work. >,,":
Most of the land was rough, rocky
and full of stumps, so that oxen, be-
ing strong, patient and slow, made the
better team for agricultural purposes
and numbering than did horses, and
they were cheaper kept, needed but
little grain even when at hard work
and none at all when in pasture. They
required no expensive harness, like
horses, only a cheap yoke and chain,
land were quickly yoked.
In such circumstances it is not sur
prising that horses in New England
were not greatly admired or much
petted. A farmer was prouder of a
yoke of large, fnered oxen, four years
old, we'll matched and we'll broken,
than span of degenerate horses, such
as were common at that time in the
country. They were seldom stabbed or
groomed except swhen at work every
day. The colts until three years old
were wintered in the yard, in order, it
was supposed, to. make them tough
and hardy National Republican.

The statement Of Linfeld, who con-
fessed to participation in the con-
spiracy which eliminated in the Wall
street explosion, in which he declared
that the villianous crime was enhanced
by money from Moscow will, Of course,
be carefully investigated. American
people will not accept, without such
investigation, narratives of this nature.
But it is not open to doubt that large
sums of soviet money reached this
country and that it was used for Grim
inal purposes. Martens, the so-called
soviet "ambassador," was we'll
equipped with funds; impecunious
communist publications suddenly
showed suspicious prosperity; radical
propagandists travelled about the coun-
try; Lenine, at Moscow, made no Sc
cret of his hope that the work in
progress would "convert", America.
There was ample money to hire as
sassins and a will, it may be assumed,
to so do. The Wall street mass muir
der was no common one and must
have been carefully planned. Yet a
member of congress named Meyer
London openly defended the soviet
regime the other day in the house Of
representatives and his remarks were
applauded-not by many, but by some.
Are such individuals worthy of seats
in the halls of the nations congress?
We contend they are not.

The Burning of Corn.


Farm Life has this to say of the
utilization of corn for fuel:
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has courage, if not discretion. He
sends out a public statement in which
he advises the burning of corn for fuel
in sections where "corn is very cheap
and rather poor grade of coal is
selling at high prices" He declares
that under such conditions it will pay
both farmers and people in country
towns to use corn instead of COAL" In
the table of fuel values which he
sends out corn at 10 cents a bushel is
equal to coal at SIS ton, corn at 30,
cents equals coal at SIS. It is some
thing of mental shock to consider
burning corn. Secretary Mohler of
the Kansas state board of agriculture
considers Mr.. Wallace's statement
unfortunate" and doubts if corn will
be burned to any extent in Kansas.
We recall that corn burning stories
were told rather frequently last year,
but an Investigation by Farm Life
showed that in practically all instances
the burning was done "across the
state line," or else lover in another
county" Our notion is that not
much corn of marketable grade will be
burned. Our advice, if it should be
asked, would be that all farmers who
have no woodlots should get busy and
plant an acre or so of trees.

Valley Lilies in Winter.

It is no trick at all to have the
fragrant dainty white bell of the lily
Of the valley in bloom in the window
Of the living room for the greater
part of the winter, according to the
national garden bureau service. If
you have a patch Of lilies of the val
ley growing in your yard, dig up
few pips this fall, selecting only the
plump ones which contain flower
buds, pot them up, say eight or ten
pips to an eight-inch pot. Let them
remain outdoors until thoroughly
frozen and then bring them in as they
are wanted. AS soon as they thaw
out the lilies will send up their bloom
with surprising speed. A number Of
pots may be planted and left outdoors
to be brought in from time to time.

ton school house. We congratulate
Judge Giddings on the rapidity with
which he handled the case. He called
special grand jury, Slater was in
dicted and pleaded guilty, and the
court procedure consumed but three
hours. In passing sentence Judge Gid
dings said: Under the old law a man
who committed the crime that you say
you committed was executed, and I am
sorry the law has been changed" We
coincide with Judge Giddings in his
views. We contend that person who
commits such an atrocious, cold
blooded murder as this brute, Slater,
should be hung with all possible
speed and not be permitted to encum-
Der the face Of the earth with his
presence. The pathetic part of this
story is that the murderer leaves a
wife and two small children destitute
at Winnebago as result of his crime.

It is clear that Americas greatest
ideal and ambition, as expressed not
only in the arms conference but in
hundreds Of other ways, is to bring
about general world peace and human
betterment. It was the guiding princi-
pie in Americas participation in the

pie in President Harding's call for the
limitation of arms conference at Wash
ington. During the progress of the
conference it has developed that the

Deaths from tuberculosis in the
"registration area" of the United
States during 1920 totalcd nearly 1OO,-
600, the census bureau announces, esti-
mating the mortality from this one
cause in the entire country at 122, 900.
This would indicate reduction of
10000 from the total of the previous
year, it was said. "The trend of the
tuberculosis death rate is downward

registration area whose rate for more
than one year has been recorded, 29
show their lowest rates for the year

ditional $745,000 available for i'm
provement of the cemeteries so that
they will compare favorably with
those established by the allies for their
war dead. Secretary Weeks estimated
that the bodies Of $4,000 Americans
who died overseas would not be re-

arrangements were being made to
concentrate the bodies in six ceme-
teries in France, one in Belgium and

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

Twelve months have rolled by, the
day of awarding the county printing
has again come and gone. The Union
this year drew the prize, plum or
lemon, whichever one may choose to
consider it. There is no question but
what the Union has agreed to do all
the printing, except possibly the job
work, at less than cost of production.
However, we entered the game with
our eyes open, fully realizing what the
financial loss would be but, for certain
reasons, perfectly willing to take it if
we won. We are frank to state we
are highly pleased to have been award
ed the printing, even at our ridiculous
ly low figure. While asking no favors
from anyone, we feel we are in good
position to comment on the present
system of letting the county printing.
In our humble Judgment, the system
is dead wrong because it completely
eliminates the smaller papers. We
see no reason why any man who does
not support reputable newspaper in
his community by subscribing to it
should be furnished the county official
publications. A clean, live newspaper
is essential to the prosperity of any
community and paper that is to con-
tinue for an appreciate period Of time
must have source Of income. 1t
would seem only fair to have at least
one reputable newspaper in each COM
munity publish the official county
printing and receive fair remuneration
for it's services.
The one bright spot in the whole af-
fair is the firm stand the county COM
missioners took in their resolve to
accept only separate bids after they
had agreed to do So The commits
sioners evidently wished to play a
square game and stood by their agree
ment. We wish to offer our respects
to the man, be he friend or foe, who
has the moral courage to stand by the
spirit and letter of his agreement, re-
gardless of how difficult the situation
may be, even though it is only gen.
tlemen's agreement end not legally
binding.
