CARL MILLIKEN
AND AIDS VISIT
HERE THIS WEEK

A brief visit was made in Julesburg
Saturday afternoon and Sunday morn
ing by Secretary of State. Carl S.
Milliken and Joe Watson, Jr., Chief
Deputy Supervisor of the auto theft
department.; and Richard l.. Shaw,
motor vehicle supervisor. The Off
cials were here to confer with the
county clrk, assessor and sheriff's Of
ficeS concerning a new state law
which recently went into effect and
to make a check on cars bearing both
license plates. This new automobile
tax law provides that persons obtain
ing automobile licenses must have
paid taxes on the cars for the pre-
vious year. For instance, to obtain
a 1923 license it is necessary to show
that the 1922 taxes on the car were
paid. The attorney general has ruled
that the taxes "shall follow the car"
On July 10th, according to Mr. Mil
liken and his assistants, the automo-
bile license fees passed the million
dollar mark for the first time in the
history of the state. Last years tot
al was $991 900. The large number
of sales of new cars is the principal
factor in the increase of license fees.
Of these cars sold in the state. 70 per
cent are of less than $1,000 class.
Messrs. Milliken, Shaw and Watson
have visited counties in practically
the whole eastern part of the state
instructing the county officials in the
meaning of the law and methods for
its enforcement

HARVEST SEASON
ON in FULL BLAST
IN THIS SECTION

The 1928 harvest season in Sedg.,
wick County. which has been awaited
with mingled doubts and optlmlsms,
is rapidly nearing the reality of
existence and with the advance OF
summer most of the doubts have
turned into an entirely hopeful attl-
tude. The weather has warmed
steadily the past week, following a
somewhat rainy and cooler period and
the grain has ripened fast and the
wheat is now being cut. With some
exceptions the crops are looking very
promising. There is some rust in the
wheat, but it is not believed to be as
bad as was first thought although the
hot sun after the rainy weather made
the grain sweat and will cut down the
yield to some extent.
The other small grains of the coun-
tv present most encouraging appearr-
ance. Oats is doing exceptionally well
and according to reports will yield
unusually heavy this season. Rye and
barley are verv thrifty and the corn
as a majority is maturing with gener-
al hardness.

Juneau is about to lose the office of the Chief of the Field Division of the General Land oficel and also the oniee of the Register of the Land On1ee, upon executive order of the President which di- rec;s their transfer Anchorage. Residents of Ju- neau making protests to Washington and are re- questng the people of other towns in Southeastern Alaska to do likewise
 Everyone in the First Division should join Juneau in this protest for the that it is going 10 be matter of considerable inconvenience to the First Division to be compelled to do business with the Land Office at Anchorage because of the infrequency of the boat and mail service to the Westward, es- pecialy in the winter months It would be even more convenient for Southeastern Alaska to do bus- ness direct with the National Capital than with Anchorage, and month in, month out, communica- tons would be better.
 Should the register of the Land office at Juneau be compelled to Anchorage it would bring about strange situation in Alaska in that there would then be Register of the Land office located in the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions, the total population of which is little greater if any, than the First Division. Thus half the population would have three land goces conveniently located to handle their business while the other half would have
 Now it may be that there ample justification for the establishment of Register of the Land Office at Anchorage. There is much activity in that sec prospectOrs for oil would be greatly benefited but in such case new land office should be created 1 hat there would be four instead of three land office registers in Alaska
 While it is true that large portion of the First Division is in the Tongass National Forest never theless, everyone who applies for patent home stedu lo or lOf manufacturing and trad ing site must do go through the Register of the Land Office.
 It would appear that whoever recommended the changes which incorporated in the executive order failed to consider all the consequences and it is hoped that it may be brought to President Harding nctfce sufficiently forecully to bring about post ponement of the order until after the visit of the chief executive to Alaska If then in his judgm ent the order should be carried originally promu- gated the First Division accept with good grace. However, it is more likely that the chief hoo 'and oHice rather than the removal of of those now in existence.

MEET AT SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco has raised $250,000 Conven- .tion Fund and has offered divide it equally be- tween the Democratic and Republican parties if they will hold their National Conventions in that city. The National political parties could not do better than to accept the invitation. San Francisco is a natural convention city She has generous Western population, comfortable climatic conditions, beautiful scenery, ample hotel accommodations and she has not acquired the prohteering spirit that afcts other sec tons of the country.
 In every way except the subsequent results prob ably the successful National Convention ever held in the United States was the Democratic con vontion San Francisco in 1920. The delegates there accepted by the people of the city without regard political affiliations of the Westerners their guests. Every citizen of the greatest of Far Western cities seemingly, felt personally responsible that the visitors enjoyed every minute of their stay.
 Further there always among the attendants at National Conventions great many influential people who do travel except business. great political convention San Francisco requires that people from all sections the Nation traverse the continent. and it would be well if those of the East could the great country that lies between them and the Pacific and the Pacific country it. self. It would add very greatly their compre- as politicians statesmen.
 Both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions should be held in San Francisco She has everything necessary make her the greatest of Convention Cfpes.

She frankly admits that such an onlce is needed there though the need is not so great as that fer an office at Juneau. All Juneau asks for IS that her Land office be permitted to remain where is In support of the reagonabeness of it's position has cited the fact that Land office business originates in Southeastern Alaska than all the rest of the Territory combined and the further fact that Anchorage could be attached to the Fairbanks Dls- trict until more satisfactory arrangement could De secured with lees disturbance to business than would follow the closing Of the Juneau office.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce went long way to ortue this situation into an intra-Ierroral controversy Juneau urged course that would give ' everybody square deal. The Setttle Chamber ol Commerce is willing that large section of Alaska should be punished.
 On the other hand Juneau will not soon forget the readiness and eageTness with which san fran- cisco and Spokane came to her assistance when the matter was put up them in the same manner that it submitted to Seattle

Knute Nelson.

(New York Post
 The crownng triumph of the late Senator Neson's long political with his election the Senate for his fifth term in 1918. Although he was a Republican, President Wilson appealed to the voters of Minnesota to return him to Washington, and the Democratic party of the State indorsed his cand- daey. Thus he serving his last term the representative of the citizens fo Minnesota without distinction of party. Noting could have been more fitting, for Senator Nelson held the balance between loyalty party and independence of party with rare discretion. He called himself party man. yet he did not hesitate speak and vote against his party in the Senate. IL is not easy to maintain position of independence within panty If sufficiently independent to make himself conspicuous, he is likely to seem man of no party at all Senator Nelson managed to avoid this extreme. Nobody thought Of him as lacking in loyalty his party; the same time nobody thought of him sacrificing his indi- yidual judgment
 It would not be too much to say that Knute Nelson was the ideal party man, fer by his loyalty he won support for his party and by his inde- pendence he did what he could to keep his party worthy of support. This is a notable accomplish ment. In country in which parties are the force by which government is made to function much de- bends upon the attitude of public man towards his party, The private citizen give his vote indinerently, now to this party, to that, with out jeopardizing himself For a public man such course is perilous. Not the least of Senator Nell sons services to the country his demonstration m the national Government without yielding his pri- vate opinion imperilling his official position One example Of this possibility is worth tons of argu- ment.
 The credit for this achievement must be shared with Senator Neson's constituency Minnesota proved herself worthy of such representative by regularly re-electing him Her reward is two-fold She profed by the service of able and conscientious official ana she mas the satisfaction of knowing that she gave of her best to the service of the nation
