In a speech to bankers at Gaines
vile, Fla, Comptroller of the Currency
Crissinger sounded warning against
growing tendency toward specula-
tion throughout the country as busi-
ness conditions improve. He urged
bankers to advise their clients as to
sound investments and to use their in
t1uence to prevent "fly-by-night"
schemes. Recent reductions in inter-
est rates, declared Mr.. Crissinger, have
been too generally regarded by the
speculative public as a sign of easy
profits in sight, when, at the present
time, it is of supreme Importance that
money and credit should be available
to sustain business activities. "The
present." he said, "is a most appro-
pirate time for bankers to admonish
their clients against overconfdence in
speculative investments. The world
needs restoration of opportunity to
produce and consume things needed
TOR human progress, and bankers
should keep in mind that the first call
for liquid capital must be made in be-
half of the farmer, the manufacturer,
the exporter and, in general, the in
dustrial and commercial community.
1t is equally important that banks
should keep from overwhelming them
selves by too liberal accommodations
to speculative clients" This seems to
be logical advice.

The tenth candidate for the office Of
sheriff in Mile Laos county has fled.
A. E. Paxton, Of Milaca township. It
must be that the prospect Of a fine
new sheriff's residence, erected and
maintained by the taxpayers of the
county, is making the office so exceed
ingly popular this year. If the tax
payers really wish to invest their
money in erecting homes for their
faithful public servants, they might
build lodge for the editors on the
shores of Mile Lacs lake. The weary
scribes could seek this haven Of refuge
to recuperate after strenuous cam
paign. Of course one big obstacle in
carrying out such plan would be that
all members Of the county editorial
family do not apper to be entirely con-
genial. But then under the healing
and quieting influence of Mother Ma
ture in the beautiful and picturesque
lake country they might learn to live
together in perfect peace and har-
'mony.

'Men who talk too much are apt to
say foolish things" says the Philadeu-
phia Inquirer. Exactly. And that
seems to be the principal failing of
one Cordell Hull, chairman of the
democratic national committee. Just
as Governor Cox is still waging the
campaign of 1920, so Mr.. Hull contin-
ues to try the Newberry case after it
has been settled in the court of last
resort. Mr.. Hull has spouted so much
on this subject that it has apparently
affected his d-aberrated it, as it
were. In an address at Grand Rapids,
Mich, speaking Of the Newberry case,
he said: "This means that any office
is for sale and that the corrupt use of
money to influence any government
agency for any purpose, no matter
how selfish or fendish, is part of the
political practice Of those who are to-
day in high places in Washington. :"
The first impression upon reading this
remarkable declaration is to call for
supply of cracked ice to place upon
the cocoanut of the Honorable Cordell
Hull. Foolish speeches like that de-
livercd by Mr.. Hull cannot fail to do
the democratic party more harm than
good. But in political campaigns there
are always spellbinders in every par
ty who make asses of themselves.

Out in Washington farmers are
kicking because the magpie alights on
the backs of their hogs and scares
these innocents. Those fellows do not
know what they are talking about.
When a magpie perches on the back
OF hog it merely does so to feast
upon the parasites which torture the
animal. It is the same way with
sheep. Years ago it was nothing un-
usual for us to see half dozen mag
pies on the back of one sheep while
the animal continued to complacently
Craze. This was in England. Mag
pies in those days were considered the
real friends of the sheep. They mere
ly ate the maggots or the eggs of the
blowf1y which produced them. It is
true that they plucked a little wool
from the sleeps back with which to
line their nests, but the sheep did not
seem to mind that so long as the mag
pies destroyed the parasites which
bored beneath their skin. This is not
fiction, but historical truth.

A peculiar order of eviction has
been signed by Federal Judge Cooper
of New York. It is to eject all white
settlers from large tract of land in
the city of Oneida, N. Y, and other
portions of Madison county in order to
restore the property to the Oneida In
dians. This closes 35-year fight by
the Indians to recover land worth mil
lions, recently decided in favor of the
tribe by the United States supreme
court. If this practice continues we
may wake up some morning to find
federal order on our doorstep to va
cate, for there is no disputing the fact
that in the dim and distant past the
Indians owned all of this country and
that it was either stolen from them or
acquired by questionable tactics. Nose
Clapp could probably further enlighten
us on this subject.

OUR FEDERAL JUDGES.

Judge Roeser is receiving the in
dorsement of the attorneys through
out the district for appointment
eas federal Judge. The only OBJ
lection to his being handed that merit
ed honor is that this district would
lose most efficient jurist. The sew
enth district has been very fortunate
in the high character of it's judges,
and was never better served than at
the present time by Judges Roeser,
Parsons and Nye. The latter, by the
way, is a candidate for reelection this
year and is entitled to the unanimous
vote Of the men and women of the en-
tire district. He is not only an able
and conscientious dispenser of justice,
but he is 50 patriotic that he was
volunteer in the late war and has a
splendid service record in France. 1t
was unusual for man of his age and
experience to have gone to the front,
but that is the kind of man he is. It
should also be said that the other two
judges took over very cheerfully his
work as judge and thus shared in his
patriotic service.-St. Cloud Journal
Press.
The Union comedies in every par
ticular with the above editorial We
recently suggested Judge Roeser for a
sseat on the state supreme court bench,
:as we are confident he is we'll qualified
for that position, but, as he is unani-
mously indorsed by the attorneys Of
this district for federal judgeship,
We heartily agree with the proposition,
and he will receive all the support we
can give him should he decide to be
candidate for that office.
AS to Judge Nye, the soldier jurist,
he is certaily deserving of reelection.
Judge Parsons is also another good
man, but his term does not expire
this year.

An organization of international
'counterfeiters has it's headquarters in
Berlin. For the love of Mike, what
profit or pleasure is there in making a
counterfeit of the German mark ? -
Los Angeles Times.
It is scarcely reasonable to assume
that these counterfeiters are turning
out German money as there would not
be sufficient profit in the venture. 1t
is possible, however, that the so-called
duplicate bonds charged to the bureau
of printing and engraving were made
by these experts and circulated by ac-
,complices in this country.

If we remember correctly, the Mile
Lacs County Times two years ago, in
discussing the question of erecting
public buildings, cited the erection of
the new school house at Milaca as an
example of public Improvement prof.
ect which had been handled so we'll
that the taxpayers in school district
IL would never feel at all embarrassed
by the expense so incurred. Now we
all know it costs something to erect
big buildings, and the taxpayers and
no one else will foot the bill. The far
mers residing in district 13 in Milaca
township which has tax rate of 1857
mills know that this is painful truth.

The New York Herald, in comment

The New York Herald, in comment
ing on the welcome" extended to
Lady Astor upon her arrival in the
United States, says that "the Ameri-
can-born member of the British parlia-
ment was received not as a foreigner
but as one whom the American people
can think of only as an American" ."
If this expatriated person, Lady Astor,
is not foreigner, then what is she Z?
She is certainly not an American.
There are no real Americans, at least
not in this year of our Lord, who go
about boasting that they are "unre-
constructed rebels" and none who
are footing the horn of the league of
nations.

A Good SuggestiOn.

The crime wave keeps right on in
creasing. Something should be done
we all admit, to curb the crime. We
have two simple recommendations
the installation of a system of state
constabulary and the restoration of
capital punishment. We believe these
two measures would have great deal
to do in discouraging crime, and Civ
ing society the added protection which
is so badly needed at this time.-Win-

We cannot refrain from dipping into
bit of ancient history at this time.
A little more than year ago, during
the last session of the legislature, GER
tain parties who had been active in Sc
curing the removal of the county seat
from Princeton to Milaca became
much interested in the passage Of a
bill providing that the board of coun-
ty commissioners, by majority vote,
could levy on the taxpayers an as
sessment of 3 per cent of the total
valuation of the county for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the construc-
tion of court house.
At that time considerable pressure
had been brought to bear on our coun-
ty commissioners. An attempt was
being made in certain quarters to con-
vince the commissioners that the need
of a new court house was imperative
and that it was placing an unnecessary
expense of the people to submit the
question to the voters OF the county,
1t was generally believed by those who
were in close touch with the situation
that had this bill been passed ma
jority Of our commissioners would
have exercised the power granted to
them thereby and would have passed
a resolution bonding this county for
the amount Of $2O7, ,679.29.
The Union is frank to state that it
used it's influence to assist in securing
the defeat Of the bill. We did
this because we believed that the
court house bond issue was question
to be decided by all the voters of the
county and not by any 3, or men.
Our own representative from this dis
trict became interested in the bill as
did the representatives from many
other sections Of the state. No man
would care to go before his constitu-
ents, seeking reelection, having taken
part in showing through special
legislation which was framed with the
explicit intention of taking from the
people the power to vote on a question
simply because it was felt that the
majority of them might not be in favor
of it.
The need of new court house was
not so imperative as some people
maintained. Our county officers have
continued to perform their duties ef-
ficiently and, as far as we know, all
departments have functioned in an or
derly manner.
The question of the court house
bond issue is now going to the voters,
just as all fair-minded citizens have
always maintained that it should. The
people in every section of the county
should be content to abide by the
decision of the majority of the voters.

CAN EXTEND HOSPITALITY.

IL tue OOuu Issue uOeS not carry,
the question arises as to where the
county officials can hold forth until
the court house is finally erected.
Everyone realizes that it must be a
slight inconvenience to Milaca to have
the county Offices located as they are
at present, but we must all admit that
the residents of that village have been
most considerate and generous in pro-
viding temporary quarters. In fact
the people of Milaca were more than
willing to agree to the present ar
rangement. They urged the removal
of the county seat with this plan in
view and doubtlessly they will be
perfectly willing to continue to ex-
tend their hospitality for year or
two, rather than have the taxpayers
put to the hardship of erecting a
court house when they cannot actually
afford it. The residents of Princeton
would be pleased to extend such hos
pitality under similar conditions, and
we believe Milaca will do likewise.
I Moreover the taxpayers of Mile
Lacs county are in a position to ex-
pect generous consideration from the
residents of Milaca. The voters two
years ago were assured time and time
again that suitable quarters for the
county offices would be provided in
that village absolutely free Of cost.
The following paragraph appeared in
the Mile Lacs County Times on May
27, 1920:
Arrangements are being made here
for the reception of the county records
and officials at the city hail, where
tireproof vaults will be constructed ad-
joining the building, and the interior
divided into office rooms for county
officials. The contracting firm of
Stromberg & Samuelson have agreed
to build vaults free for the use Of the
county. In order that the county will
be put to no expense the people of
Milaca will assemble all the automo-
biles in this vicinity on the day of the
removal and go to Princeton and
bring up the records. AS people now
fully realize the hazards that the
county records are exposed to in the
OLD court house there is considerable
anxiety to get them into place where
there is no chance for their destruction
by fire, and their arrival in Milaca will
mean that they are protected fully in
every way. The question of a new
court house will be brought up later
and the people will be given an oppor-
tunity to decide just what they wish in
this respect.
The commissioners PROCEEDINGS
show that the sum of $3,815.59 was
paid by the county for labor and ma
terial for building temporary quarters
for the county offices and for the ex-
pense of moving the records to Mil
! AGA. A large part of this amount was
spent in building the vaults in the
school house. Probably more than
$3,815.59 was expended, but casual
perusal of the bills allowed by the
county commissioners shows that at
least this amount was spent for that
purpose.
Now that We have Quilt those vaults
and have the officials fairly comforta-
bly, located, why not allow them to oc-
cupy their present quarters for a little
longer period Of time?

BONDS FOR COURT HOUSE.

On June 10 the voters of Mile Lacs
county are to be given the privilege
of deciding whether they do or do
not wish to have the county, at this
time, issue bonds for $15O,OOO for the
purpose Of obtaining funds for the
erection Of a new court house. The
county board intends to enter into an
agreement whereby the site will be
purchased and the whole building will
be erected, absolutely complete in ev-
cry detail except of course the furni-
:ture will not be included, for the
amount Of $150,O0O. The architects
state that this can be done if the peo-
pie will not demand too elaborate a
building. The resolutions adopted by
the county board state that at least
The sum Of $15O,OO0, in addition to all
other funds available for that pur-
pose, will be required by the county
to erect and furnish new court house.
The Union does not intend to con-
bond issue at this time Our taxes are
high, too high for comfort, and money
is not moving freely; but if the far
mers in this. county, in as straitened
circumstances as many of them are,
will vote to assume heavier financial
obligations at this time, we probably
can bear our share of the burden.
However the Union, as the official
paper Of the county, will attempt to
place the facts before the voters so
that they will be able to act with their
eyes open when they decide this ques-
ton on June 19.
The bond issue will be for $150,000
and the bonds, which VIII draw 5 per
cent interest, are to be payable in
from 16 to 20 years. Even II no steps
were taken to establish sinking
fund for the payment of the principal
and not dollar of the original amount
borrowed was paid until 16 years from
the date the bonds were issued, the
county would each year have to pay
$7,5OO, interest on the loan. The total
interest in Is years would amount to
$12O,O00. Thus before we had paid
one dollar of the original loan, we
would have paid 80 per cent of the
amount in interest. The interest in
the 20-year period would be $135,O00.
The erection OF the court house would
then cost the county $285,OO0.
It has been said that the interest on
the bond issue would not amount to
more than the rent now paid for the
county offices, including those in the
school house and in the other build
-ings in Milaca. The total rent for
these offices is $181 per month or
$2,172 per year, $5,328 less than the
interest on the loan for one year.
Mile Lacs county will some time
erect a new court house, but, even
with the present cost of material it
does not seem that this is the time for
the taxpayers, especially the farmers,
to assume such big financial bur-
den. When people cannot pay their
present taxes, they cannot be expected
to make those taxes still heavier.
