WHAT THIS FOURTH OF JULY STANDS FOR

As if by sudden swing of the pendelum backward, the nation whose birthday will be observed Monday finds itself beset with the perpexties which harassed the Fathers of the Republic They embody efforts to rivive the spirit which set the nation it's way to the gores which have been the envy and admiration of the world
 And while considering these glories it may be well to haken back to the days of the little log schoohouse the barefoot children the lers of the so the with the axe and gun facing the great wilderness with cour- age stimulated by the magic word of Freedom.
 Set in contrast to these primitive conditions are the things once considered nothing short of the achensts magic have the marvel of the greatest civilization the world has known Nothing short of perfect foundation could have whstood the stresses of the great structure builded by inspired with lofty and super-genius
 Like children at play the nation has lost sight of the many principles upon which the wonder has been accomplished Like sobered by universal calam y the hour has arrived when each and everyone called upon abandon the spirit of play and revert to the prn cpes which have brought much happiness and success yet in many omissions have allowed the grim spectre of want to stalk thru the land.
 It is on the Fourth of July marking the genesis of Americas glory that may cast aside the burdens of perpexty and uncertainty and medtating upon the la bors sacrifices and spirit of those who gave our her tage renew courage and faith and emuatng the spirit and genius of the master builders again emerge victor ious and masters of our destiny.

WARNS AGAINST TAX
MISREPRESENTATION

A communication coming from the
office of the collector of internal
revenue at st. Paul, states that a
number of complaints have come in
regarding the misrepresentation of
the federal tax. These complaints
are being made by the purchasers Of
articles which have just come under
the scope of the New Revenue Law
which took effect June 81, 1892.
The purchasers at retail state that
some retailers are adding various
sums much in excess of the tax i'm
posed on the manufacturer of such
articles and inform their customers
that the increases represent the new
taxes paid on the articles. This is
clear-cut violation of the law. If
a vendor or lessor misrepresents the
tax, he is guilty of a misdemeanor
and is liable to a fine of 81 100000 and
to Imprisonment for one year. This
provision of law is designed, among
other things, to prevent a vendor or
lessor adding more than the amount
of the tax to the price of an article
and representing that the increase
is due to the tax. Section 1923 of the
Revenue Act of 1926 was written into
the Act of 1892 without change, and
is as follows:
Whoever in connection with the
sale or lease, or offer for sale or
lease, of any article, or for the pur-
pose of making such sale or lease,
makes any statement, written or oral,
0) intended or calculated to lead any
person to believe that any part of the
price at which such article is sold
or leased, or offered for sale or lease,
consists of tax imposed under the
authority of the United States, or

uneven in the two games they have

the government has done for other in

farmer.
Not in Vain.
"This bill can be enacted into law
if those interested in agriculture will
get back of it. We are fighting for a
cause, "a cause as holy as the cause
of liberty-the cause of humanity
We are fighting for self preservation
to save American agriculture from
destruction. The humblest citizen in

a righteous cause is stronger than all

IF Congress will pass the proposed
bill no one will be hurt, and the gov
