Now that the Chicago murder case has been
settled there is nothing to do but to turn our
eyes toward the Redwood County fair which will
hold the attention of all the surrounding coun-
try September 22nd to 26th inclusive. The 9TH
er day. while riding cityward on the bus, we caves
dropped in on conversation between two men,
strangers to us. The gentlemen, whom we judg-
ed were official judges something similar, had
visited a number of the fairs of the state. After
discussing their various merits and dement's one
of them said "Well, the best of them all is yet
to come I'd rather go to the Redwood County
fair than any of the other fairs I regularly at
tend" And his companion agreed with him.
The conversation then turned to something else
and we didn't learn why they prefer our fair
to all the others. Anyway it is gratifying to
know that they do.

EVERY time Frank Clague addresses
an audience he makes new friends and
the old ones warm up to him more. Our
Congressman gets next to his audience
not by rapping the other fellow but by
his everlasting faith in the people he re-
presents and the good old state of Min
nesota and the U. S. A.. His optimism
is contagious and makes one realize that
he is a big man in action and at heart,
and it is genuine pleasure to come in
contact with him and to listen to his
constructive wholesome talk which is a.
great contrast to big majority Of the
usual mud singing political takers.

The trouble with whole lot of us is that
we are worried about what is wrong in Eu-
rope or down in Washington that we can't see
what is wrong in Redwood Falls or Belview or
Lamberton. Some of us are so intent upon dis
covering what is wrong in the schools and
churches and in the other homes of the neighbor-
hood that we forget to scrub our own kitchen
floor. There is good deal Of horse sense in
that fool song of Bert Williams in which he in
sists that he is kept busy all the day long just
minding his business. That is not as marrow
and selfish" as it sounds on first thought. In
the ultimate it means that nation of people
who have Strengthened up their individual diff
culties will be nation Of people big enough to
straighten out national and International af-
fairs. There is lot of psychology back of that
very commonplace suggestion that we sweep our
own dooryards first.

PLAIN HOKUM

r. AUX pas is A. E. F. French for boner.
r. We define the thing thus carefully because
Candidate Olson of the farmer-labor party,
pulled the most brilliant kind of faux pas when
he spoke at the Nicollet county fair last Thurs
day evening. 1t all happened when Mr.. Olson
got down to the Constructive" part of the farm
er-labor program, which, he said, consists OF re-
tanning the states water power and operating
publicly owned utilities. He cited the fact that
the Province of Ontario, Canada, owns power
plant at Niagara Falls, and furnishes electrical
energy to the city of Toronto at a very low rate
per kilowatt hour. We know of no better poll
tcal hokum for the average community than pub
lie ownership, but Mr.. Olson badly coached
when he ventured to discuss the subject in St
Peter. For, be it known our town has been and
still is the owner of a municipal lighting and
power plant. Sad to relate, we operated the
thing for quite some years. Perhaps it was be-
cause we had no Niagara handy, it may be
that we have no genius special qualifications
along electrical lines In any case, it proved be-
yond our power to lift it out of the white elephant
class. Then the city contracted with privately
owned corporation for the purchase of electrical
energy and closed down the plant. Since that
time there has been a steady profit from the
sales of current; it having enabled the members
of the city council to make a considerable num-
Der of expensive public improvements and to re-
tire all of St. Peters outstanding bonds Be-
cause we were sensible enough to abandon NUM-
cipal operation, we are living in the only city in
Minnesota which is without penny of municipal
Indebtedness. Far be it from US to counsel Mr..
Olson concerning the conduct of his campaign.
We would suggest, however, that he acquaint
himself with the local situation or else keep
way eye on the ivory hunters-St. Peter Herald.

MAN-GOD'S PARTNER

could pay to men and women is that of
taking them into partnership with Him in
the great enterprises of the world. He has there

own image, is capable of ruling over, to a very
great degree, the destinies of the world, and to
present himself, faultless, before the Fathers
throne. Approaching the place which God has
asked us to fill as His junior partners, we no
longer conceive man as "the worm of the dust"
but as being ga little lower than the angels"
AS the Senior Partner, God has held all the

Walking through the woods gathered the

Minnesota is one of twelve states that do
not have a gasoline tax. Minnesota is a state
which believes in good highways; must have
them, in fact. Minnesota has probably the
largest tourists traffic of any state in the Union.
At the present time Minnesotans bear the whole
cost of building roads, which these tourists use.
We do not think they would object to having
their eventual burden lightened by letting the
tourists willingly pay part of the cost in a
gasoline tax of a cent two gallon-The

THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION

prof E. G. Cheyney, Mimi. State Univ
n YOTHING that has happened in the last for
IN ty years, not even the great World War
has as profoundly changed the economic
life of the state the development of the auto
mobile and the waning of our enormous timber
supply. And yet the men who framed our con-
stitution had never smelt gasoline, never even
heard of the famous experiments of Darius Green
never dreamed of the time when Minnesota would
not be one of the leading timber producing states
in the union.
How, then, could they possibly foresee the
conditions which have arisen? How could they
know that taxes based on the conditions as they
knew them would work an unbearable hardship
on some of the people under the changed condi-
tions which exist at present?
Even at that early day logging was the lead
ing industry in the state, but they were logging
what was supposed to be an inexhaustible timber
supply. Taxes did not worry the cumberland
owner then because he could cut some, Of the
timber every year and pay his taxes with the
money.
There is no difficulty now about the taxing
of merchantable standing timber. 1t can pay its
tax as it always has paid it. But what are we
going to do with our cut over lands? The area
of our standing merchantable. timber has dwind-
led to the vanishing point while the area of our
cut-over lands has increased into millions of
acres. At one time we were optimistic enough to
think that all these lands would soon be turned
into farms We know better now. We realize
that with any reasonable rate of development it
would be hundreds of years before all those
lands could be settled. And we know more than
that; we know that there are from ten to fifteen
million acres of them that not suited to- agri-
cultural crops.
What are we going to do with them? The
solution is obvious. They have grown one good
crop of timber and they will grow another. Why
not make them do it?
But private capital, be it farmer or COM
pany, will not and cannot do it under the present
system Of taxation. The farmers Of the eonsti-
tuition never dreamed of crop which would
