FISHING IN MINNESOTA.

Davenport Democrat and Leader
Up in Minnesota they SURELY have
good roads, and they know how to
mark them so the tourist can find
his way around. That's what we've
heard a lot of people say when COM
ing back from there. The infer
ence is that Minnesota makes the
tourist and summer visitor welcome,
and that he is treated fine" up
there.
But is he, always? We know two
Iowans who were up there for a
little visit with a third, who was
spending some time there, in the
lake country. Now, Minnesota is
proud of her lakes. She points to
them, and invites us to come up to
them, and tells about the fish that
are to be caught in them. These
Iowans, there for a day on the
banks of a lake, thought they'd see
if there were really any fish in it.
them, but had hardly got wet when
along strolled the ubiquitous fish
warden. Now Minnesota has law
which provides that before a non
resident fishes within the boundaries
Of that state he must take out a
fisherman's license, costing So. She
doesn't advertise that, nor does the
fish warden help spread the news.
He just waits till you start to fish,
and then appears with that crytic
utterance, "The judge wants to see
YOU"
Our Iowa friends had to see the
judge. We cite the case not be-
cause of the amount that it cost
them, but because of the way it
hurt their feelings, and because we
understand it is typical. And as
we are telling nothing but the truth,
we'll locate the incident. 1t was at
Excelsior.
Courts don't care much about ex-
plantations. That these Iowans were
visitors for a day didn't matter at
all. If they "got funny" they
were informed, the judge would
give them the. limit, understood to
be 500 apiece. They asked to be
allowed to take out licenses for
each of the party. But that wasn't
what Mr.. Warden was interested in
or the court either, it appeared.
They were "let off easy" being
assessed only $16.16, of which SO
goes to the state, So to the judge
and So to the warden.

POLITICAL CHATTER
(by VANCE cHArMAN)

leading industries. That there was
merit in the contention is now seen
in the reported advocacy by leaders
of the Nonpartisan League and the
Socialist crowd of an increase in
the tax as fixed by the legislature.
Under the tonnage tax law passed
and which is now in the Federal
court for Interpretation as to its
constitutionality six per cent tax
was imposed and this figure the
Socialist forces, it is said, want in
creased to ten per cent They
argue that the added revenue will
aid locally and thus reduce the
home burden. The nearest approach
to tonnage tax in Minnesota is
the railroad gross earnings tax and
despite the difficulty attending any
attempt at its amendment the tax
imposed under it has been boosted
from three per cent, the original
figure, to five per cent which is the
present tax. The railroad tax is
part of the state constitution and
the approval of the voters is nee
essary when any change is proposed.
That each proposed increase in the
tax was met with votes to spare,
however, it is needless to state
here, also that the present figure
would in all probability have been
doubled had it been a statuatory
infection instead of a part of the
state constitution. With the ton
mage tax controversy now in the
hands of the courts and it's future
very much in doubt the proposed
increase in the tax would seem the
very limit of absurdity, but from
all accounts those behind the talk
are not altogether lacking under
their hats. Those who claim to
know say the agitation is for the
purpose of calling attention to the
Occupation Tax" amendment to
the state constitution which will be
voted on this Fall. This amend
ment writes into the state constitu-
ton the tonnage tax idea and ac-
cording to constitutional law author
tiles, if adopted will mean the ex-
tension of the tax to all lawful oc-
equations. So far the Occupation
Tax" amendment has attracted little
public attention and the general
opinion is that it will fail. It's dam
gerous possibilities are not generally
relished.
The ease with which signatures
to petition for most any old thing
are secured has counterpart in an
announcement just made by a lead
ing women's voters organization of
the results of a QUESTIONABLE sent
by it to candidates for the legislat-
ure. Views on many public cues
tions, such as the primary law. the
new convention act and the estab-
lishment of state constabularv
were asked and the fact that a
majority of the answers were anti
administration is noted with more
or less satisfaction. What makes
the whole thing valueless is the adj
mission Of those behind the ones
tionaire that they were sent to can
didates regardless of whether or not
they prevailed in the recent prim-
aries and as better than fifty per
cent Of these same candidates failed
their viewpoint in legislative wav
counts for naught. Nor is there
anything to show that majority of
the answers received were not from
defeated candidates.

BILLY" NooNAN SAYS
lin the Raudettp Region !

In the Baudette Region.
We went out to shoot ducks last
week, but it developed that we were
only duck hunting.
Hard coal is hard to get and
harder to pay for.
A Michigan superintendent dis
missed high school girl when he
caught her smoking cigarettes. Isn't
he the old fashioned guy?
The women's organizations in
the Twin Cities are certainly Curl
Gus concerning legislative candi-
dates. About the only question
they haven't asked us is whether
we eat with the right or left hand.
Somebody ought to tell Mrs. OLE
sen that she can't win the election
by presenting mud bouquets to Sem
ator Kellogg.
One thing we've noticed about
duck hunting is the variety of sport
it affords. If you leave a spot
where they are scarce you ere sure
to find another spot where they are
scarcer.
No doubt the women who are
agitating for longer skirts each have
two reasons for doing so.

The editorial entitled Fishing in
Minnesota" in another place in this
paper taken from the Davenport
paper points to an abuse of author
ity that should not be tolerated.
All the residents of Iowa fishing in
the lakes of Minnesota with a hook
and line will not deplete the Ssh
ing half as fast as can a few local
residents with a net and stick of
dynamite. We invite people to
come here and spend good money to
advertise our fishing and then soak
the first man from another state
who inadvertently fails to fortify
himself with a license. And, what
is more, all the literature sent out
fails to state who should have a
license and where the same can be
secured. There should be extenu-
ating circumstances in such cases
and it would show degree of hos
pitality to tourists in our midst if
game wardens were supplied with a
book of licenses and issue them to
the visitors who inadvertently over
looked securing this necessary docu-
ment.

The tariff, the bonus, etc., are by
no means the biggest questions the
present administration has to work
out and to solve, says the LeSueur
Herald. The really big problem to
Reds at the head Of the labor
unions are gsing to run this coun-
try. Events of the past three
months would indicate that we need
. few Clevelands and few Roose-
velts at headquarters or soon the
entire populace will have to take
out a special permit from the Reds
to occupy the land. The admins
tration should add a few bales of
rope to its equipment.

Collectors in the employ of the
Nonpartisan League, it is reported,
are making desperate efforts to
realize on a large number of post
dated checks which were accepted
in lieu of cold cash four years ago.
The face value of these checks run
up into the thousands of dollars
and while a large number of them
were taken up by the signers the
majority of them were repudiated.
The present method of collection is
to back up the demand for pay
ment with fake court complaint
and summons and as result some
of the signers have been scared into
making good. There is story to
the effect that these post dated
checks have been taken over by a
syndicate and that the promoters
figure on making big killing.
With the senatorial contest as a
smoke screen Socialist and Nonparti-
san League heads are working over
time in an effort to capture the
next state senate. They make the
point that they already have a
majority of the house members and
that control of the senate is now
all that is necessary. That the
radical forces have their eye on the
senate is known and if verification
is wanted it is found in the exceed
Ugly bitter fight now being made on
such old members as Jas. Fl. Hall
of Lyon County, Geo. H. Sullivan
of Washington County, Sam A. Rash
of Steele County, C. N. Cosgrove
of LeSueur County, Gustaf Widell
of Blue Earth County and A. c..
Gooding of Olmstead County. Other
old timers are also listed for re-
tirement by the Socialistic forces.
All of the senators named were
leaders in the last senate and they
worked hard to coHnteract the Social
list crowd. They should all be re-
turned.
Speaking of Senator G. Fl. Sui
Ivan of Washington County, his re-
tirement to private life is the one
thing most desired by the League
heads and nothing is going to be
overlooked in an effort to name w.
w Wilcox of Withrow as his sue
cessor. Ever since the Inauguration
of the movement to Townleyize Min
nesota Senator Sullivan has been as
gall and NORWOOD to those con-
scerned and getting him this time
would be sweet revenge. Senator
Sullivan is easily one of the big
men of the present state senate and
whether you like him or not you
have to admit that he is a repre-
sentative worthy of one of the old
est counties in the State. Few care
to meet him in debate and a less
few can say they worstsd him when
he set out to accomplish anything in
legislative way. When Senator
Sullivan battles it is in the open
and he generally wins.

Henry Ford makes good flivvers
but we think his prediction ot
plenty coal at a lower price will
not materialize. The railroad strike,
coal strike, and several other up
heavals have caused cessation in
shipments of this necessary COM
modify and this will have more eff
feet on the coal situation than the
representations Of Henry. The
people who will not be misled by
the optimism of Ford are the ones
who will do all in their power to
supply themselves with fuel for
the coming winter.
