Proved Value of Paint

About three years ago was asked
to look at a house that was in real
bad shape. 1t had stood years need
ing paint. | assured the owner that
he could make money on the house
by having 1t painted. 1 told him what
1t would cost and we did the work
He sold the house inside nj a year
from the time he bought 1t, making
$500 more than he paid for 1t, or three
times more than my job cost him.

THE SCHOOL

Editor H. X. Halvorson of the
Boyceville Press sizes up a school
building proposal somewhat similar
to that under discussion in River
Falls in the following manner:
Down at Colfax they're having
one high old time in discussing a
proposed school building. We had
the same argument in this city
when we built our first high school
building. Some argued that it'd
bankrupt the township and pre-
dicted other dire things. We built
it. A few years later it was totally
destroyed by fire. Again we dis
cussed the building problem and an
other larger and more modern high
school was built. True, our school
taxes are high, yet we'll never kick
about this tax item that gives our
children unexcelled schooling facil-
tiles. While we believe in being con-
sentative, governing our school sys-
tenn so that we can practice rigid
economy, we must never hold dollar
so close to our eye that we allow con-
gestion in the school rooms; lack
of teachers and thus impair our
school efficiency. Colfax can well af-
ford to erect modern school build
ing. 1t is of more vital interest to
this thriving city to have good
schools than to have an additional
$4,000 on deposit in her banks.
America must never see the day
when education of her children, pro-
viding them with sanitary buildings
and efficient teachers to inspire them
in their quest for knowledge, shall
ever lack the finance and the hearty
support of every taxpayer within her
boundaries. Our schools and church
es are the main pillars of our govern
ment. Impair or destroy them and

states.
Without waiting for legislation on
the subject, one of the largest users
of signboards on the Pacific Coast
the Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia, has removed over a thousand
of its road signs.
Other large companies in this sec
ton, which is noted for its beautiful
scenery, have indicated their willing
ness to follow the lead of the Stand
ard Oil Company. Comment has been
almost unanimous in favor of this
action.
Nothing is more unsightly than a
collection of tifty-seven varieties OF
signs as one enters every town or
city, or at points where the eye is at
tracted by a beautiful view or some
other object of interest.
1t is altogether probable that bet
ter advertising results could be Sc
cured by spending the same amount
of money in the rural newspapers of
the various states.

WHO BLOCKS TAX REDUCTION

Would you hire a doctor to fix an
automobile? Would you hire cook
to arrange the financing of new
hotel? No, you would not.
Then why is every Congressman
and every Senator supposed to be
capable of figuring out better tax
plan for financing our national gov
eminent than are the experts in the
United States Treasury who are
responsible for a sound financial
policy for this nation?
Men not capable of financing a
corner grocery store feel more fully
qualified to infict upon the public
their ideas of running a six or seven
billion dollar annual government bud
get than do the experts in the Treas
ury Department.
Politics may be all right as
long as it confines itself to political
matters, but it is a curse to a nation
when it dips into business. The tax
question is a problem of business
pure and simple and should not be a
vote getting vehicle for Republican
or Democratic politicians.

MEMORIAL DAY

Under the name of Decoration Day
or Memorial Day, May 80 is observed
as legal or public holiday in all the
states and possessions of the United
States, with the exception of Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Texas. General
observance of the particular day for
strewing flowers upon the graves of
soldiers began in many localities im-
mediately after the Civil War, and
the formal dedication of May 80 to
this purpose followed recommends
ton made in 1868 by General John
A. Logan as Commander-in-Chief OF
the Grand Army of the Republic.
In eloquent words he asked for the
setting apart of day to show re-
spect for the dead who had given
their lives for the nation-"to gar
land the mounds above them with the
choicest flowers Of spring, to raise
above them the flag they saved from
dishonor, to renew in their solemn
presence pledges of aid and assis-
tance to those they had left behind
as a sacrad charge upon the nations
gratitude"
For more than half century Wis
consin communities have observed
the day by elaborate ceremonies,
with parades and patriotic addresses,
customarily under the leadership Of
the G. A. R., the Woman's Relief
Corps and the Loyal Legion. AS
years passed on, the thinning ranks
of Civil War survivors suggested a
larger participation in the ceremon-
les by civic organizations generally
and by members of the younger
generation, including school children
The statute which gives Memorial
Day place among the legal holidays
in Wisconsin was enacted by the
Legislature of 1879. Since 1896
complying with requests from the G.
A. R. and the State Teachers Associ-
alton, the Wisconsin Department of
Education has issued a Memorial
Day Annual, containing programmes
suitable for use on that day in the
public schools of the state. In the
first issue of this publication, j. O.
Emery, who was then State Superin-
tendent, wrote: "Make patriotic
music as prominent a feature as
practicable; make the declarations
and recitations as clear, expressive
and perfect in delivery las possible
and invite one or two adults to give
addresses or otherwise take part. .
Besides submitting a programme
each Annual contains original anc
selected material in prose and verse
suitable for reading and defamation
in Memorial Day exercises by school
children.-State Historical Society

United States and the fundamental
principles which were recognized in
establishing our democratic form of
government.
In commenting on the recent
action, or lack of action in Congress
and its failure to exert itself along
business rather than POLITICAL lines,
the Bulletin in double column, black
face editorial, after citing numerous
instances of the shortcomings of our
national law-making body, says:
cat bottom, responsibility for the
present disgraceful situation at
Washington lies with Congress,
whose hypocrisy, Sinking and moral
cowardice brought about conditions
that made corruption inevitable
1t then cites numerous instances of
radical, silly or freak legislation
which Congress has passed to satisfy
hysterical demands or dodge re-
sponsibility.
"A dozen boards and bureaus can
be mentioned to which Congress has
granted the high, middle and the low
justice with respect to wide areas of
activity and important industries.
''Citizens and business enterprises
can be ruined by various of these

having day in court. AS for an
cient right of privacy, there is moth
ing left. Our telephones are tapped,
our desks are rified our books are
searched on orders from our de-
partmental inquisitors. Few human
beings are fit to be trusted with the
power which Congress so gaily dele
gates to the bureaucracy.
"Our form of government has
changed under our eyes. We are
governed not by statutes, but by rul-
ings of this department and that
commissioner whose orders have the
force of laws. Our rights are de-
termined for us not by courts and
juries, who hear our cases in public,
but by inspectors and Investigators
and bureaus who collect evidence
where they find it and announce de-
cision in true Turkish fashion. That,
of course, is not democracy. 1t is
not even efficient, but if it were, free
government should not be sacrificed
to efficiency.
"Only a Congress that will display
some courage and craftsmanship,
and a little devotion to the consti-
tuition of the United States, will rid
Us of this pest of bureaucracy and
restore the American ideal of popu-
lar government"
The Bulletin editorial is strong
statement of the case, but it will
take strong leaders among our pub
fishers and our public officials to
save intact to the American people
the liberties which were granted
them in the formation of our govern
ment.
