reelected in 1893. Two years la ter, at only 38, he was Minister of Finance in Leon Bourgeois all-radical Cabinet.
 It was in large measure due. co the energetic young minister's push ing for the adoption of the income tax, always abhorent to the French, that the Bourgeoise ministry was defeated in 1895.
 Jules Meline, the father of French agriculture, '' succeeded Bourgeoise and, although Doumer was a bitter opponent, offered him the Governor -Generalship of Indo- China. In that way the new Pre- mier thought he would shelve a dangerous adversary.
 Rules Seven Years
 Doumer ruled 1ndo-China for seven years, recognizing the great Colony's administration and finances, quelling local uprisings and introducing labor-saving farm machinery On his return to France his old Department of the Aisne sent him back to the Cham Der. In a short time he was Chairman of the Budget Commit tee. Three years later, in 1905, he was elected President--or Speaker of the lower house.
 The Presidential election of 1906 saw Doumer pitted against Fall ieres, then President of the Sen ate. The latter beat him by 449 votes to 37l. Thereafter his poli- tical career was rather in the de scendant. In 1912 he forsook the Chamber, being elected Senator to represent Corsica.
 Militarist
 Already an acknowledged expert on financial questions, Doumer be- gan at that time the serious con si0eration of military affairs. He did much to fortify Frances pre- war army, supporting the three years service bill, the one creat- ing an extra army corps and that providing for new infantry and ar tillery regiments. The outbreak of the World War found him acting as a sort of unofficial government commisary with Gen. Gallieni, who was, as Militray Governor of Paris, one of the principal artisans of the victory on the Marne.
 Dcumer proved to be one of the most democratic of French Presi- dents, having an adherence of the formalities of the office. He was the first to enancipate himself from red tape and to go and some as he pleased without official es- cort or outward honors. Despite his reputation as, a frugal liver and a rigid economist in State affairs, he entertained amply and well and did all that was required of him as official host of the Re- public.

NICE, France, May 7.-When Joseph E. Wessoil of Detroit afi- nounced plans for. starting a pea nut farm here local farmers waved olive branches at him.
 But not with any peaceful in- tent. They whittled their olive limbs, figuratively speaking, into clubs and made him sign a sol- emn agreement not to press oil from his goobers.
 They thought it might peril the olive growing industry. 4

would be 40 to 43 million dollars. We
pay a tax in the city and in the coun-
try based upon a certain percentage
of the true and full value of our
property. In the city in the plated
areas we pay tax based upon 1910
of the true and full value of our
property. In the country, so to
speak, we pay a tax based upon
33 1870 of the true and full value of
our property. In other words, if you
own place in the city and it is as
sessed at $4,000, you pay tax based
upon 1919 of this value, or a tax
based upon $4,000, and if the tax
rate is IS, you can figure that out
easily.
Lower Homestead Tax.
81 say that you can cut the tax,
the property tax on homesteads in
Minnesota from 33 1-3 to 400. In
other words, if man pays a tax of
$50 upon a home in the city, or a
home in the country-his farm, that
part of the farm which the statutes
will call his homestead, we can re-
duce that tax one-third, or $50, and
use the income tax as replace
ment. Now why do I say that?
One-third of AZ million dollars is IA
million dollars. And if we use the
same rates as the United States gov
eminent had in force in 1880 and
1881, for Minnesota, we would col
lect in excess of IA million dollars,
so we would just shift IA or Is or 16
million dollars of taxes that are upon
home owners, whether they be work
ing people or farmers or business
men, we would shift that from the
home over to the income and we
would replace in the one instance
and we would shift in the other. If
the workingman's wages are not suf-
ficient so that he has to pay an in
come tax, and they are not today,
then he gets an outright reduction Of
one-third of his taxes on his home.
And If the prices realized by the
farmers for their products are not
sufficient to give them an income
which brings them within the provi-
sions of the income tax law, so that
there is no necessity or requirement
for paying an income tax, then they
get clear saving of one-third, and
possibly 1910 of the tax that they
now pay upon their homesteads."

Willow River School Notes

School will open for enrolment and
day forenoon, September 5.
About 140 to $50 high school stu
dents are expected to enroll this year.
Students should see or write the
superintendent at Willow River, re-
garding any difficulty or problem to
overcome
The Willow River high school is a
fully accredited four year high school,
and graduates are admitted to the COL
leges and universities without exam
nations.
With the increase in high school
enrolment, there is a corresponding
increase in the number of practical
and desirable electives, and also in
the extra-curricular activities as re-
quired.
Many new faces, in our Willow
River high school, this year will be
nonresident students who have had
one or more years of training in other
high schools. Some have attended
quite far away, in Minneapolis, St.
Paul, and Milwaukee. Many have on
ly recently finished their preliminary
preparation in the rural and graded
schools. Still other eligible students
have been out of school entirely for
several years, and are now wisely
planning to continue their education
(some have returned to high school
as late ages as % and 24.) 1t is
never too late.
Nonresident high school students
have free transportation in our reg
ular school district buses within the
district. Connect up with them. Most
others from far away will no doubt be
able to connect up with one of the
three or four private thigh school
bus" routes, coming to Willow River
this year, now being planned. On
these routes the cost for Transports
ton is much less than most any other
possible plan for attending school,
and the students are able to be at
home every night. The State of Min
nesota pays the tuition, and the books
are free. This is indeed an excellent
opportunity for all interested in fur
Their education.
In order to obtain some idea of the,
number of new books needed, pre-
liminary enrolment for high school
students will be held at the Willow
River school on Friday, August &C.
If you cannot arrange to come on that
date, write. Don't forget that Mon
day, September 5 is the day for reg
ular enrolment, distribution of books,
etc. The high school, buses will
make their routes on Friday forenoon,
August 26. Be ready. Come, enroll.
meet the bunch, and select your seat
in the assembly room.

Farmer.LabOr Cavalcade.

Farmer-Labor Cavalcade.
Magnus Johnson, A. &C. Townley and
Henry G. Teigan, toured the iron
country last week. The writer OF
this letter spent four days with them
and he can testify to the good work
that these men are doing.
Mr.. Townley has never appeared to
better advantage as an agitator. He
unfolds, in concise manner, the
emergency program that must be put
over in order to put the idle workers
to work again; it goes over good with
the crowds.
Magnus Johnson is the same old
"Magnus." Everybody wants to hear
him and see him; everybody seems
to know him. At one meeting, sched-
uled for $50 in the evening, two
elderly Swedes had waited for him
from 10 o'clock in the forenoon. They
stayed until it was all over and then
Travelled the long way back home in
the dark.
Mr.. Teigan has developed wonder
fully as public speaker during these
trips. Always a trenchant writer and
one of the best informed men on
theories of government among all con-
gressional candidates, and a close
student of political events, the daily
and l might say-hourly speaking ex-
ercise in public speaking has now put
him in the front rank of Farmer-La-
Dor speakers. His arguments are
clear and concise, pure reasoning
without any malice.
1t looks like the iron country and
the north country in general will &c
strongly Farmer-Labor this year
There will be some very good Farmer
Labor men in the next legislature
from up there, that seems already
assured. There seems to be little
sentiment for the Republican party.
There are, of course, some Hoover
men, but they are very silent. OF
course the promised prosperity, when
it comes, might change things.
But the Farmer-Labor PEOPLE should
not think it will be landslide; there
are some tough spots, other places in
the state, and it will take everlasting
effort to attain victory.

Ports Not to Be Abolished or Dis

ployes Retaining Places.

The Bureau of Customs will not
abolish any of its ports or consolidate
its district as has been previously an
nounced.
In a statement to the service, F. x.
A. Eble, commissioner of customs, said
that failure to enact 10 per cent re-
duction in the Treasury-Post Office ap-
preparation bill made unnecessary the
abolition of the ports.
Had the 10 per cent reduction oc-
Cured, Eble said it would have meant
dismissal of 213 customs employees, and
in addition, a reduction in the general
personnel throughout the service by 875
members. These employees therefore
will be retained.
