When Magnus Johnson, Of Mime
sofa, takes his seat in the United
States senate, and rises to make a
few remarks, dishes are going to rat
tie along the Potomac, says a Mime
apolis dispatch to the Kansas City
Star.
II is said Of him by many admirers
that "'Magnus may not be the smart
est man in the world, but he roars
like a bull"
Johnson has been roaring up and
down Minnesota, and has strayed
over into North Dakota and Montana
and down into Iowa at times the last
fifteen years. Everywhere he went
they heard him. He is a fearless
champion of the common people,"
lie likes a fight, and he has about the
strongest pair of lungs v e employed
on stump or platform.
He probably is the first mar who
even admitted he was a political boss.
He glOries in the assertion, and
chuckles when he tells how it came
about.
Johnson is So year old. He was
born in Lilejedahl, Sweden.
1t is when he is talking politics that
Johnson warns up. He processes nc

Loading Down the Auto.

Several states have been taxing gas
olinc from one to 2 cents gallon.
A meeting Of western states gov
crnors was recently held in San Fran
cisco for the purpose of adopting a
uniform system of taxing gasoline 2
cents "A gallon in the eleven western
states which would raise a fund of
800 100000 a year. Every time a
Ford filled its 10-gallon tank, it would
pay 20 cents in tax.
The extension of special taxation is
a dangerous program for any state to
adopt.
While IL must be admitted that this
is AN easy way Of raising money for
road construction purposes, il in no
way Justified the adoption or extern
sion of this system of special taxa
ton.
II would be just as logical to estab-
lish "a, tax of from 81 to So on every

No New Taxes Wanted.

Western states are sick and tired
Of legislatures enacting hundreds of
new laws, creating new fees and of
fices and cnacting new taxes biennial
ly.
In some of the states where the
people have voted down new tax laws,
additional gasoline and motor vehicle
taxes. Legislators are taking them up.
In some states new mining taxes
are proposed ON an industry that has
only within about six months got fair
ly ON the back track to prosperity.
Other states are proposing TO tax
timber taken from the federal reserves
"a socalled removal tax-that would
be thrown into the federal courts.
The lumber industry has not been
so long solidly on a prosperous basis
and should be given a few years to
catch up with the after-war slump.
There is not a western state that
will not suffer from imposing n state
income taN-on top OF high property
taxes. federal income taxes. licenses,
etc.
There is no doubt but that the peo-
pie will take referendum, If indeed
they do not invoke the recall on those
who unwarrantedly impose new taxes
on industries.

CHANGING INDUSTRY
Dairy Cow and Hog Replacing Sheep
in Farming Sections Of Colorado.


One Of the most impressive eyi-
dcnces Of the agricultural develop
rnent that has taken place In Colorado
in the past ten years is the increase
In the number Of hogs and dairy cat
tie In the state in that period. II has
been demonstrated by experience that
the most auccegHful farmers in this
state. and especially in the non-irrigat-
ed nrcnE, are those who raise plenty
of feed crops and keep dairy cattle and
hopA. Tables and maps prepared by
the State immigration Department for
usc IN the Colorado Year Book show
that In the counties where agricultural
development has been most rapid in
the pnst decade the number Of dairy
cattle and hogs iH more than four
timcn hR great aa II was In 1912.
The total number of dairy cattle as
BcHacd in the state in 1912 was &C.,
273, while the number assessed IN 1929
was ii7.iI0. The number Of swine
assessed in 1912 was 7O,2Gl, and in
1922 il had increased to 20G,017. In
the Hnmc period the number of sheep
assessed had decreased from ,352,-
300 to sO2.2 .271. Many eastern Colorado
counties which reported large numbers
Of sheep and almost no dairy cnttle
and hogs in 1912 now report few or
no sheep and very considerable mum
bcra Of dairy cattle and swine
Iiaca county may be given as fair
example. In this county in 1912 there
were i0.59i sheep assessed. "a dairy
cattle and 327 swine. In 1922 the as
SCISSOR reported for taxation 2,770
sheep. Ii6 dairy cattle and 1878
swine. Ebert count y reported I ,S92
dairy cattle and I0i swine in 1912 and
G.l55 dairy cattle and 1929 swine in
1922. During the same period the
number of sheep assessed In the coun-
ty decreased from 3i.2o5 to 1854. In
Known county the number Of sheep as
scsscd decreased from 22,i37 to 5,555
and the number of swine assessed in
creased from 40 TO i,2l1.
The decrease in the number of sheep
In eastern Colorado counties in this
period has been due chiefly to the dis
appearance of free government range
aud large pasture tracts and the es-
tablishmcnt of comparatively small
farms in their place. The sheep which
were formerly pasturcd on the free
range have been replaced largely by
dairy cattle and hogs on farms. At
the same time there has been an in
crease Ia the number of beef cattle
produced. the range cattle that form
crly were pasturcd in this section of
the state having been replaced by
young stock and feeders that are fat
tened for market here now instead Of
being prepared for the eastern feed
lots AS was the case ten years ago
The number OF beef cattle assessed in
the state in 1912 was 7Oi .542. compar-
ell with i.i12.2es in 1922.

AMERICA AND EUROPE

Ideaistic Americans who have been
calling upon our government TO save
Europe from itself ought to analyze
phenomena now presented at various
points on that continent; the strained
relations of Hungary and Roumania,
the attack upon Memel, the crisis in
Anglo Turkish affairs, as well as the
conditions in Germany.
We ask these well meaning theorists
what the United States could do to
convince the Hungarians that they
ought to resign themselves to the loss
Of d large territory inhabited by Hun
garians, to say nothing of strategic
frontier. We ask them what we could
expect to accomplish in persuading the
Roumenians to give back this terri
tory to Hungary for the sake of peace.
We ask them if they would have us
send soldiers to help the Lithuanians
to take Memel because it is in Lith-
uanian territory and needed by them
as an outlet to the sea, which Mr.. Will
son held was the right of every inland
people, or to help defend Memel from
them out Of respect for the so-called
peace treaty and the league of ma
tions?
The United States has money and
economic resources which might be
beneficial to all these nations, if they
made proper use of them. We are
told also that we have moral influence.
But the former cannot be made effec-
tive unless the latter is, and we ask
if common sense offers US any en-
couragement to hope that we can per-
suade nations which evidently are will
ing to endure the miseries of renew
ed war in the pursuit of their ends to
forego these ends at our behest upon
any terms we are able to offer them?
What can we offer the Lithuanians
in exchange for Memel, or the Rou-
manians or the Hungarians in ex-
change for Pennsylvania, or the Turks
or British for Mosul, if they value
their possession so highly that they
are willing to fight and die for them?
If there is anything obvious in the
world it is that the European nations
value other things more than peace,
the rectification of injustices, as each
sees them, the acquisition of territory,
etc. Those Americans who think peace
in Europe depends upon our interven-
tion should explain what we can and
ought to offer to throw the balance of
policy toward peace against the heavy
weight of considerations cherished
passionately by the warning nations.
