HITTING THE
BIG FELLOW
Measures Taken to Bring the
Big Fellow to Time Are Of
ten Unjust and Reflect
Directly Back on the
Poor Man

1t was brought out at the county
board meeting last week that the large
interests were the ones who had the
largest proportions of delinquent taxes
and that they should be penalized by
another per cent interest. The small
fellow had scratched around and dug
up his taxes and it was an injustice to
him to let the big fellow off without
paying.
Let's look at the other side of the
question.
The land of the county has to be held
by some one and taxes have to be paid
The alternative of cutting the price of
this land SO that it would sell was Of
fered. This would necessitate the
building of a lot of new roads, bridges
and schools. This would probably
work out in time but the taxes would
not be lowered and probably would
not be paid any quicker for at least
three years than they are now, and the
same man would have to pay them I'M
til the settler got started.
This old cry OF handing 1t to the big
fellows is what ruined Russia. Right
now the condition in America is better
for the man with a small holding, es-
peciaIly of land, than it is with the
large owners
Fixing the Spectator
In many towns of the county the
taxes of wild land have been raised
until they were too high according to
the value of the land. In a short time
settlers have purchased this land and
started to build homes. When they
came to pay their taxes the following
spring they found them to be far too
high as they had been fixed up for the
big fellow to pay When once as
sessed too high it is hard proposition
to get them back to where they belong
These high taxes and high penalties
are decided handicap to the develop
ment of the country. The fact is that
good wild land here is as low or lower
in price than it is elsewhere when ev-
erything is considered.

PORT ARTHUR MAN
WILL GROW HAY

Edw Buchholz, who lives one-half
mile east of Port Arthur, has so acres
that he has been improving for the
past three years. He has Is acres I'M
der the pillow and 10 acres of it is seed
ed down. The other three acres he
broke last fall and will seed to oats
and seed down this spring. A few
acres more have been brushed since
last fall which will be seeded to clover.
His house is 24x24. His barn is COX
%. His plan now is to build additions
to this barn to use for his stock when
he will use the main part for hay. By
having his land seeded down Mr.. Buch-
holz will put in most of his time
brushing and seeding the rest of his
farm.

PREFERS BRUSHING
TO WORKING OUT

Fred Peters, of Walrath, was in
Ladysmith last week on his way home
from Big Falls, where he had been
working at the Big Falls dam.
He says that common labor there is
getting $3.50 per day for the days they
work, and have to pay S1O0 per day
straight, for board.
Mr.. Peters had a job as straw boss
and got $500 per day. In two months
time he earned $500 above his board.
Mr.. Peters owns 40-acre tract OF
land which he has been improving.
He has three acres cleared and an acre
plowed for garden and potatoes. FIT
teen acres have been seeded following
fires. His house is 13x18, two stories,
and his barn is 12x1S. He has a COW,
heifer and one horse Mr.. Peters
very much prefers to stay at home and

RUSK COUNTY
TO BE IN LIST

Eradication of tuberculosis in cattle
is not only done for economic reasons,
but more for the relationship existing
between human and bovine tuberculo-
sis. Authorities agree that % per cent
of tuberculosis in children is caused by
the drinking of milk from tubercular
cattle. This being a fact, one ceases
to wonder why farmers from a dozen
or more counties are petitioning for
a countrywide test, and individual
farmers by the hundreds have sent in
their applications for having their
herds tested with the end in view of
accreditation.
Last year approximately quarter
of million cattle were tested, and it
is estimated that 100000 will be tested
this year.

TO RAISE OR NOT
TO RAISE INTEREST

In trying to dig out the facts why
it is necessary to raise the penalty in
terest on delinquent tax certificates
from 10 to 1870 the fact was brought
out that the investor was liable to
lose some interest after the settler or
land owner had paid his delinquent
taxes as he was not notified that his
money was ready for him and it laid
in the county treasury until called for.
The loss resulting from this tended to
lower the interest received by the pur-
chaser. A postal card sent to the pur-
chaser at the time the tax was paid
would eliminate this loss, and the cost
could not exceed a few dollars per
year. The investor could then realize
ten per cent interest on his money
with but little loss and tax certificates
would be an attractive investment.
Would this not be far better meth
cd than to raise the interest rate to Is
per cent, thus lacking on another
$1,000 to $4,000 to the taxes for the
men who are unable to pay their taxes,
before they become delinquent.
The argument that the big fellows
were holding back because they would
rather use the money and pay the in
terest of ten per cent plus the penal
ties does not seem to stand inspection.
The costs are double what the land
loan interest is and it is the farm edi-
tors belief that the big men as well
as the small fellows would pay their
taxes if they could.

MODEST MAN MAKES
GOOD ON LAND

A Cedar Rapids farmer was in La
dysmith last week and while he asked
that his name be not printed gave his
endorsement to the Rusk County Plan,
and told the following story of his
farm activities in the territory north
Of Glen Flora.
Five years ago he landed in Glen
Flora with a wife and five children
and $72 in money. He had purchased
an S0-acre tract of wild land. He
built a log house, then went back TO
Minneapolis to work. He worked 81
nights and then came to the farm. La
ter he went back and worked 80
more nights after which he decided he
would stay on his land or work closer
to home He now has six acres under
the plow Over 40 acres is seeded af-
ter brushing or burning. His system
now is to clear by brushing, burning
and seeding, and pulling all the
stumps he can with his team.
The first two years this man had no
team. He said that one good handy
weight horse was big help to new
settler in handling old logs and NOV
ing rotten stumps He said new
settler should read the News Budget
to get useful information that would
take him years to figure out for him.
self In regard to the county reclama-
ton act, he said that he would apply
for a loan to clear up some more of his
land, and the loan obtained that way
would allow him to stay at home and
the work would go on very much fast
er than when he had to work out part
of the time to keep things going.

WILL USE CO. RECLAMATION

After the board meeting Thursday
O. L. Hotz, of Hawkins, told w. A.
Liebhardt that he had five forties that
he wanted Mr.. Liebhardt to sell for
him, and that he would sign with the
purchasers to get a reclamation loan
to clear the land with.
The reclamation act will be very
popular with local men who own tracts
of land and have them paid for. Many
have already expressed themselves as
willing to sign with men purchasing
their land. The bigger companies who
handle loans will probably fall in line
when they see the benefits from the use
of the act.

ment and for generalization. For the
information of your subscribers, dairy
men and breeders of you county who
have now accedited herds, would say
that Dr. B. f. Kinyon is fully accred-
tied and enjoys all the rights enjoyed
by DR.. McDermid. This statement is
made in fairness to all concerned and
for the information of breeders and
dairymen in your community.
Very truly yours,

A GOOD EGG
YIELD GIVEN
Figures Given By Ladysmith
Man Shows Hens to Be a
Profitable Investment
If Properly
Handled

N. e. Reid gives us some figures on
the egg production of 90 single comb
white Leghorn hens. His net profit in
February, after paying for all feed
was $12.S1. IN March the profit was
$1793. He got an average of about 20
eggs per hen per month. These
hens were the choice of Matching of
234 birds.
The Hogan system of culling was
used which consists of body measure
ments, The wider the hens are at the
pelvic bone, the better layers they are.
They should also be deep at the breast
bone. Another test Mr.. Reid makes is
in feeling of the crops of the birds on
the roost at night. Any hen that does
not eat enough to make full crop is
discarded. Leghorn hens need eleven
pounds of grain per day for 100 hens.
The big breeds need 10 pounds.
May Start Ranch
Mr.. Reid is enthusiastic over the
chicken business and has had several
years experience with hens. He is
planning on going into the business
on a large scale with 1000 hens as his
possible limit He will keep only so
hens in a bunch and will take care of
each bunch in the same manner as he
takes care of his present flock. The
house for so birds will measure 10x
IA feet, and large yard will be built
in front of each house. Mr.. Reid thinks
Ladysmith is a good place for the en-
terprise he is contemplating.

SOME PENNSYLVANIA COAL
 MINES MAY BE ABANDONED
Steel Concerns Find New Coke Field in West
 Virginia Regions.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 13.-Some of the coal mines and coke ovens which have been closed down in the Connellsville region by the strike of the non-union miners may never be reopened, according to intimations in steel circles here. At best if there is a resumption, it was stated, the production in the Connellsville field will be greatly reduced.
 The big steel companies declare they can get abundant and perma- nent supplies of coal from West Vir- ginia and Kentucky fields which will meet all their requirements. This is said to have resulted in the steel manufacturers discovering that the famous "coke region," which has al ways been considered inseparable from steel production, is not so in- dispensable after all.
 The perfection of the by-product coke oven and it's general adoption throughout the steel industry during and since the war is said to play an important role in this new situation It is claimed that the batteries of by-product ovens, which are con- structed at or near the steel mills, are rapidly replacing the old and wasteful beehive ovens at the coal mines, and that, with a steady and adequate supply of coal assured from other fields through a simple re- arrangement of transportation facil- ities, absolute dependence need no longer be placed upon the Connels- vile region mines and ovens.
 It is also pointed out that while the by-product oven is permanent and contributes many useful products to the, sciences and arts in addition to furnishing ample supplies of coke for the steel works, the beehive ovens at the mines make no such contribution and, further more, are of only a temporary char acter, being abandoned as soon as

TARIFF BLOC ISFORMED
 REPUBLICANS

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Swinging in a wide arc from California to New Hampshire, the newly formed Senate tariff bloc" gathers strength from twenty different States to wage war for tariffs favoring he agricul- tural interests of the. nation.
 Differing from all other combina- tions, the tariff bloc" represents friendly little fight within the Re- publican ranks with Western and Mid Western Senators, backed by a few Fasteners, fighting the con- bined Republican forces of the East for tariffs which would benent the producers of the nations farm crops.
 A Democrat would describe the ri valry as a fight between the manu- facturer and the producer. At any rate, the "bloc" showed sufficient strength in the preliminary clashes to demonstrate that it held a whip hand in the tariff fight.
 GETS DEMOCRATIC VOTES
 Tn voting. of course, the bloc would gain strong support from the Democratic side and actually must do so to carry it's ''pet' amendments to the permanent tariff bill as re- ported by the Senate Finance Com mittee.
 The programme as outlined by Senator Gooding, of Idaho, elected chairman of the ''bloc,' was based on schedules approved by the national farm organizations, including the National Grange, the National Poul- try Association, the National Wool Growers Association, the American National Live Stock Association, and the National Cotton Association and the National Tariff Association.

e coal is woked out.
 MAKE NEW PLANS


 Having been caught mapping at the outbreak of the coal strike, it is claimed that the steel companies are completing plans for other perma- nent sources of coal supply, which will divorce them from absolute de- pendence upon the coke region and may result in the closing of many mines and ovens in that district
 As an evidence of the growth of the by-product oven it was pointed out by a local steel man that the largest by-product battery in the world, that of the Carnegie Steel Company, at Clairton, Pa, is to be doubled in size. This plant now con- sists of about 800 ovens, with a ca pacity of over 30OO,O0O tons of coke a year, not to mention great quanti- tile, chemical, agricultural and other industries.
 Work already has been started, it was stated, on the construction of 800 more by-product ovens at Clair ton, which will give this great plant a capacity of over 6,000,000 tons of coke per year With this huge plant in operation near the great Home stead, Duquesne and Braddock mills of the Carnegie Steel Company, to which it supplies coke, and with a steady supply of coal assured from other than the Pennsylvania fields, it was intnmated here by a leading steel man that the famous Connells- vile coke region stands chance of being considerably eclipsed.
 It was said that the miners in the coke region are beginning to realize this possibility and that as a result a sentiment is developing to go back to work This was reported to be especially true of the miners who are idle by reason of the strike, but not on strike themselves.
