DEFENDS COURT SYSTEM
Security League Issues Statement
by Thomas r. Marshall

The National Security League
which entered upon its tenth veal
on December LIST, issued statement
written for it by Thomas R. Marshall
former Vice President of the United
States. After referring TO the life of
Christ, he said:
Now these fathers of ours who
formulated the Constitution of the
United States were men who believed
in this big brother of ours. And they
knew how dangerous it was to permit
men to be tried by the passion and
prejudice of the mob. So they said to
themselves: When we set I'D this new
Government upon the Western Henri
sphere, we must guard as much as
possible the rights Of men from the
onslaught of passion and the sudden
outbursts of ignorance They were
driven to the necessity Of fixing the
decision of questions, civil and crini-
nal, and they decided that in the long
run calm, dispassionate Judgment of |
conduct and of rights would more
surely result in the punishment of
wrong and the safeguarding of the
innocent than by taking the vote of
Inc ignorant and the prejudiced. And
so they wrote into the Constitution
hat the judicial power Of this country
'f ours shall be vested in one Su-
IRENE Court and in inferior courts.
ND thus they guaranteed to you that !
our rights of property, your right of :
life, and your right to liberty should
70 determined by calm and Cispas-
ionate tribunal upon the evide. =
he cause, and there they STONED.
hey did not believe in the recall of q
ldicial decisions at the hands of the
eople. They thought. and think YOU T
i'll think, that, if the mob could cru +,
fly the Christ, recalling the judicial -
ecision of Pontius plate, there is =,
'eat danger that you yourself would
and no chance if your life, your lib ri
ty or even your property is to be II
ken away from the Courts and left n
the decision of the uniformed and 4,
eJudiced upon the streets" pI

REVENUE SHOWS A BALANCE
Governor Preus Declares Pledges o.
Economy Redeemed.

st. Paul-The announcement Of a
cash balance of $2,694,S68 in the state
revenue fund at the end Of the fiscal
year 80, as compared to an overdraft
Of $497,1S3 at the beginning of the
year, July 1, 1923, makes it certain
that the pledges of economy and re
duced taxation made in 1920 can be
literally redeemed, Governor Preus
said in discussing the accomplish
ments of the state during the past year
or two.
"In fixing the state tax levies in 1924
and 1922, it was found possible to
eliminate the tax levy for the general
revenue fund.-" the governor said
"This was the first time this had been
done in the history of the state. Be
cause of the delay, due to litigation, in
payment of the iron ore tonnage tax
there was a shortage of funds in 1923
Thereafter, on account of unusually
large legislation appropriations, the
state tax levy was fixeG at 3.5 mills
The tonnage tax has since then been
paid"

Station, University Farm, st. Paul.
Mr.. Smith believes that the usual
dwindling of profits in egg produc-
ton in the warm weather is largely
caused by lax methods, and that it is
a mistake to discontinue feeding sea-
son. He says it will not do to let
fiocks which are restricted to hard
grain rations depend alone upon such
insect life as they find on the range
for their animal food. This is true
because the essential egg-making
materials are lacking in the feeds OBJ
tanned and hens cannot manufacture
eggs without the necessary raw ma
terials.
Further, to maintain egg produc-
ton in the summer Mr.. Smith says,
that poultry houses should be well
ventilated and kept as cool as pos
sible by opening or removing Win
dows, and if necessary by installing
additional means of ventilation; that
mites and lice, should be destroyed
and young and old stock kept separ-
ate.
Whatever you do, says Mr.. Smith,
feed regularly and feed literally, put
ting into the mash more wheat by
products and more ground oats, and
putting into the grain feed more
wheat when prices are not too high.

Fighting Minnesota's Most Serious
Weed-At this time of the year when
the farmer realizes, perhaps as at no
other time of year, the seriousness OF
the inroads made by quack grass, the
extension division at University
Farm, ST. Paul, announces that it has
ready for free distribution a bulletin
on "Quack Grass Eradication"
The bulletin is by A. G. Army of
the division of agronomy and farm
management, and it is based on most
thoroughgoing tests made by mem
bers of the experiment station staff !.
Mr.. Army says very emphatically
that all methods of eradication from
large fields are based on thorough
tillage; that "to be effective there
must be well planned and carefully
executed campaign with which other
work is not allowed to interfere
According to the figures given in
the bulletin, eradication costs differ
ent amounts, depending on the meth.
cd used, the costs varying from $7.11
an acre to $13.45.
Incidentally, the bulletin warns
against the use of commercial
sprays advertised for quack grass
eradication, without full investigation
and careful trial before making and
considerable investment.
