THE DRAKE MILL ''PROFIT'

That the Drake '..expsfimental mil'' is now
making ''pfofiit" is the claim of Lewis F. Craw-
ford, secretary of the industrial commission.
But how slender this "profit'' u.s. is shown
from Mr.. Crawford's s. figures and it has way OF
vanishing completely when studied too closely.
The net "proft'' claimed for the first four
months of the year is $492. But this is subject
to depreciation charge of per cent a year on
the basis Of $4,000 valuation" This would
amount to 1888 for four months.
A little further on in the report, Mr.. Crawford
says that "the mill of course pays no taxes" we
have no way of knowing exactly what the taxes
on the mill would be if private corporation owned
it, but the state is losing the sum- whatever it is,
and it would far more than wipe out any remain
ing "profit." Moreover, no interest is figured on
'1osses already sustained and which there is not
the remotest chance of recovering"
We are not quarreling with the present meth
ods of managing the MILL. 1t probably is being
operated as efficiently and economically as it
could be under state control. But some day the
Taxpayers are going to sit down calmly and ask
themselves: "Where is the 'benefit?'
Are we getting flour any cheaper? Are the
farmers getting more for their wheat? What is
the use of it all?
Are we setting up state business enterprises
to compete with privately owned business corpor-
atcns in the state simply for the fun Of doing it
or to "get even' with somebody? Is it one of the
legitimate functions of state government to use
the states money and credit to finance business
enterprises that are beneficial to nobody and
which serve no useful purpose, but which have to
be subsidized byltax exemptions Fargo Forum.

DANDELIONS

The crop of dandelions is phenomenally big this
year in most parts of the country. Home brew
ers, gleefully filling their baskets, Will chucKle
that Nature in this instance lines up against pro-
hibition. E
Back of this is an interesting piece Of vegetable
world biology. a..- &..a.
The dandelion family last year discovered what
amounted to national campaign to exterminate
it by robbing it of the blossoms that play "stork"
in dandeliondom.
So the dandelions, fighting back, produce an ex-
ceptionally big crop of flowers. Some may SCOT
at the idea. But it is scientific fact-a working
of the instincts of sef-preservation and selt-pfo
pagation: That's why it is so hard to kill weeds.

YOU USE IT

How many times day do you use the elevator!
It is the greatest transportation system.
In our country are 156,000 elevators. They haul
more people than all the railroads. surface street
cars, elevated and subways combined. So say
engineers who, after five years. study, have just
completed safety code to decrease elevator acci-
dents. * *=<&%%. .',-. A:..-*
This new safety code prepared by the Amer
lean Society Of Mechanical Engineers, is a COM
posite Of national experience. Baltimore expects
to be first to adopt it. Other cities should study
it carefully.
Do you ever get scared riding in an elevator? Z
Accidents are few, considering the number OF
passengers But if you want to play safe, keep an
eve on the elevator door, Three-fourths of ele-
vator accidents occur at the doors or by falling
down the shaft
Most of these accidents can be eliminated by
installing nterlocks. With them in place. the car
cannot move until the door is closed, and the door
cannot be opened until the car is at the floor land

 Another objection was to the Gber- ation of pheasants at the opening of the hunting season, the wardens be- HeVing that the birds should be re- leased right alter the season closes.
