10 Duluth, and to Hades with the
expense or the interest of the
villages. A corps of surveyors
are running a line east of the n.
p. track. If adopted, the extra
cost Of this new route will be
enormous, and the villages along
the old route be up against it TO
a more or less extent.
The Gar of Russia was credited
with locating roads by drawing a
straight line, starting point to
terminal, but this is not Russia
and we hope Commissioner Bah
cock does not try to emulate the
Cars method 1t seems to me
this is a matter that our legisla-
tors should ,ook into carefully
before voting bonds. My love for
the tourist is great, but not so
great that | believe it necessary
to squander millions of dollars
and cause large property loss to
the business men of the villages
merely to save tourists a few
miles travel. Often really great
become obseSsed with
an idea and sacrifice common
sense to carry it out. Commits
sioner Babcock should give care
full heed to unnecessary expendi-
lures of road money,and have due
regard for the business interests
The idea of using money
gotten by taxing the people
of the state to destroy the bust
ness of the people of the state, to
benefit a few, tourists, will not
find many supporters.
Yours truly,

injuries occurring in other states
against foreign corporations, and
WHEREAS, such suits are
generally brought in outlying and
sparsely settled counties where
the burden on each farmer and
individual is greater on account
Of increased tax and jury service,
THEREFORE,, BE it Resolved,
that this convention go on record
in favor Of legislation to abolish
this practice of suits being
brought and tried in this state
for damages on account injuries
which occur in other states and
wherein most cases none Of the
parties are residents Of the state,
and that this as ociation further
recommend to the state leg'sla-
tUre the passage Of the bill which
will abolish such practice"
II has been estimated that it
costs a county approximately one
thousand dollars for every one Of
those cases tried, and in some
there are from 20 to 80
such cases on the court calendar
each year. The burden is car
ried by the taxpayers of Mime
sofa who have absolutely no in
terest in it.
Many Of the cases are railroad
accidents and the ambulance
chaser attorney who is the one
responsible for taking the case
away from the county and state
where it happened figures he can
better get the jury with him
away from home and also labors
On the assumption that people
ire more or less prejudiced
against the railroads.

YOUR EXPERIENCES

IL seems that the column,
Opinions of Others, got off to
n good start. or at any rate there
are a number of contributions.
The American editor is personally
acquainted with a number Of per-
sons in different parts of the
county farmers as well as busi-
ness men-who are deep thinkers
and whose opinions are valuable
and from whom we should like
to hear A number of familiar
names could easily b. given here
names of people whose advice
nd counsel is frequently sought
by neighbors people who have
held offices of trust and are old
settlers in the county. Such
folks are often rather reluctant
about writing for publication,
being content with reading and
forming their own opinions. But
their opinions ore sought, 50 let
us hear from some more of the
~old timers. II is well 10 get
views from the many.
Taxes is one of the burning
questions of the day and it is well
TO get it thoroughly thraShed out,
but we would suggest hat some
articles also be written on how
best to secure the wherewithal to
pay the nee sssary taXes--that is,
your successes and failures with
dairy cattle. The dairy COW is
most likely the biggest income
producer in Pine county today so
consequently she is responsible
for paying most of the taxes.
If n farmer has had good success
with certain rations let it be
known to the benefit of other
farmers; If punctuality in the
care and feeding of live stock
means ever so much, let us have
your story. We invite stories of
failures rs well rs successes, for
much can be learned through
knowing why another dairy
farmer failed with his method
and thus leakage and waste pre-
vented
These stories on successes and
failures might also include
chickens, which is a growing in
dustry in the county, or anything
else that is revenue producer
and of general interest.

The verse reads as follows:

Thinks Price Sterilization
Wrong Method.

Editor Askov American:
As a delegate | attended the
Prize Sterilization conference in
st. Paul last week, and while it
was quite interesting. | was sorry
to see the action taken, namely,
in calling upon congress to pass
the Gooding bill, or in other
words have the government guar
antee $l.75 a bushel for wheat
In the first place why should the
wheat grower have any advan-
tage over any other farmer? Or
if it is meant to include all farm
produce, as some of the speakers
would have us believe, | think it
is the hardest blow cooperation
has received for a long time, as
who can see any need of co-opera-
ton if there is a fixed price on
everything? But | don't believe
it really was meant for anything
but wheat, as this meeting was
dominated by large wheat grow
ers, bankers and business men
who farm from one and up to
dozen farms, in most cases from
their office desks.
To this conference was called
farmers of all classes. but who
was there? Not the dairy farm
err, as he could not get the time,
his job. is 365 days a year and
long days at that; neither was the
potato grower there, as he could
not sell enough potatoes to buy
a ticket to St. Paul; but the
wheat grower was there in big
majority, which proved he could
both get the time and means To
attend. There is no question but
that potato growers were hit har-
der than wheat growers last
year, when we can barely get
one-third cost of production for
potatoes. ANY how who would
get this benefit of SITS a bushel
for wheat which is asked to take
effect at once on the 1922, 1928
and 1924 crop? Would it be the
wheat grower as some of the
speakers pictured ha'f starved
half naked and about to lose his
farm! Don't you think his wheat
was sold last fall from the thresh-
ing machine, or rs soon after as
he could get cars! No, it will be
the speculator and the better
fixed farmer who has been able
TO hold his wheat; and again next
fall it will be the same thing
over, as the wheat fwmer who is
practically down and out will
have a hard time to get in his
usual acreage while the big fell
low can easily put in more, so to
my notion it is entirely wrong a.
il is not going to help the fellow
that really needs the help,
Now few words about local
matters. Most of you know we

Can't without Confidence.

A steeple jack. also known as
a human fly, fell from the 10th
story Of a New York hotel the
other day. Thousands of people
had been watching him do the
stunt of climbing up the wall
OF course he was kill d, perhaps
every bone crushed, and how
much good did he accomplish in
the act? None. so far as we can
see. only that he furnished great
excitement to those craving for
something sensational. But at
that, as the Duluth Herald re-
marked editorially the other day,
there was perhaps a lesson to be
learned anyway, for people in the
windows Of the hotel had heard
the human fly murmuring to
himself as he was climbing, Il
can't make it, | can't make it."
Without confidence we are quite
sure not TO make it. The steeple
jack was amember of the Safety

Origin of Vanity Fair?

From the Kansas City Times.
In Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress"
if is the name of a fair held in the
town of Vanity. 1t was established
almost 5000 years ago by Beelzebub,
Apollyon and Legion, who perceived
that all pilgrims on their journey
to the celestial city must needs pass
through this town. The fair lasted
ali the year round. and was devoted
to the sale of houses, lands. trades,
places, honors, preferments, titles.
and delights of all sorts. as bawds,
wives, husbands, children, masters,
servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls,
silver gold. pearls. precious stones
and what not" Christian and faith
full on their way through Vanity Fair
were denounced, arrested, beaten and
finally placed in an iron cage. Faith
full was burned at the stake, but
Christian escaped and proceeded on
his journey.
"Then l saw in my dream, that
when they were got out of the wilder
ness, they presently saw a town be-
fore them, and the name of that town
is Vanity, and at the town there is
kent all the year long, 1t beareth the
name of vanity fair, because the town
where it is kept is lighter than
vanity, and also because all that is
there sold, or that cometh thither, is
vanity, as is the saying of the wise,
All that cometh is vanity" PIT
grim's Progress.
Vanity Fair is the title OF one
of Thackeray's famous novels.

FOUR CASES TOTEST
DISTRICT SNOW LAW
Municipal Court to Hear Test of
Mandatory Clearing of
Sidewalks.

The snowremoval law passed by
the last Congress and held to be I'M
constitutional by many lawyers is
to be tested in the Municipal Court
next week. This law makes il man.
datory that owners or occupants of
all premises, improved or unim-
proved. within the fire limits shall
clean the snow or sleet from the pub
lie pavement in front of their places
seven hours after the storm has
ceased.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Frank
". Madigan, who last winter refused
to issue warrants for failure to clean
pavements. interpreting the law as
unconstitutional is preparing four
cases which will be filed Tuesday in
the Municipal Court. One will be a
case of a private citizen. one of a
public building. like a theater. one
corporation and another where the
property is owned by a nonresident.
The law provides where occupants
or owners fail to clean their pave
ments that the District Commits
sioners shall do the work, taxing the
cost against the property owner. In
thousands of cases the past winter
the pavements were not cleaned and
this work was done by the>~District
street cleaning department.
