A POOR SOLUTION
Bismarck, N. D.,
Dec. 20, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
Certain well-meaning persons are
suggesting that change be made in
collecting taxes, and that instead of
our present method, taxes should be
collected on monthly basis. They
also tell us that farmers who are
several hundred dollars behind could
easily manage to pay $40 or so a
month until their taxes are paid.
We beg to differ with them. II it
Is so easy for a farmer to pay SO
per month, then why didn't he lay
aside that sum each month until
the taxes were due? The truth Of
the matter is farmers cannot pay
taxes in installments or any other
way when what they sell brings so
little. And where they are going to
pick up $40 per month when they
haven't got 10 cents is a mystery
to us.
We might be able to pay our au-
tomobile license fee in monthly in
StallmentS, since the sum is compar-
atively small, and we think some such
method of payment would prove pop
ular, but to try to collect such a
large sum as would be necessary to
pay out several hundred dollars in
taxes is foolhardy venture.
In the first place, we would need
a big force Of tax collectors to do
the collecting, and in the second
place, instead of only being asked
to pay once or twice year, the peo-
pie would be eternally harassed and
dunned.
No. Instead of thinking up any
such schemes, let those who are
really interested in helping the farm
er get together and evolve some plan
whereby he can get a living cost for
his products.
We have been shown, however,
that there are great obstacles in the
way OF our farmers being given a
square deal. Millers complain that
the allotment plan would hugely in
crease the price of flour and also
would increase the price of bread
one cent per loaf. The chances are
what help the farmer eventually
gets won't be worth having, but we
would like to say that If millers and
bakers were put on the same basis
as the farmer, prices would not be
so high but what the consumer could
pay them. And If bread is one cent
higher per loaf, wouldn't it be bet
ter, providing this extra cent guar
anteed the farmer a decent price for
his product, thus causing men out
of employment to go back to work
because this additional money is CIV
Ing the farmer money to purchase
necessities with?
1t Is a vicious circle all the way
around, but it would seem as though
the time has come to decide what
our future is to be. If the farmer is
to be ally Disseminated
against, We are never going to reach
that prosperity of which many and
sundry persons have prated for so
long. For without agricultural pros

Covered Bridge to
Yield to Progress
ZumbrOta Structure, So Years
Old, Last of Type in State
is Sound but Obsolete

Minnesota's only covered bridge,
located at Zumbrota, will give way to
the march of progress this summer
when new structure is erected in
connection with the grading and re-
location of trunk highway No. So, be-
tween that city and Red Wing. Bids
on the new bridge over the Zumbro
river, seven other new bridges, and
seven bridge widening jobs, will be
opened April 5, Commissioner c. M.
Babcock announces.
The wooden covered bridge at Zum-
brota was built in 1869. 1t was built
of selected white oak timbers, on a
good foundation, doweled with oak
pins, and was well maintained by the
municipality until the state took it
over as part of temporary trunk high
way No. So in 1921. Since then it has
had regular maintenance by the state.
The bridge is as sound as when new,
but it is wide enough for only one
lane of traffic, and loads have been
restricted to six tons. The new bridge,
a steel truss $50 feet long, will be
wide enough for three lanes of traf-
fic.

Marie Dressler
in Superb Role

Marie Dressler, star of Emma" to
be presented at the New Dream
Theatre on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, March 20, FL and %, claims
she prefers dra m attic roles to
straight comedy parts-because she
can put so much comedy into them.
Paradoxically enough, this is really
true of the work of this popular
screen star. In Emma" there are
actually more comic moments than
tragic despite the story's dramatic
situations and stirring climax. The
same was true of the role of Min in
min and Bill" her last character
portrayal which won her the Acad-
envy award for the finest performance
of an actress for 1881.
Miss Dressler's part in Emma" is
essentially a character role. But
Tightening the drama are delightful
moments of comedy, mostly in bits of
intimate family life. A "ride" in an
aviator's training machine is uproar-
ious but later becomes as tense bit
of drama as was ever devised. Rich
ard Cromwell, Jean Hersholt and
Myrna 10y have prominent support
ing roles.

FARM NEWS
Edited by
Nate H. Bovee, County Agent
ALFALFA

Someone has stated that bigamy is
a double portion Of too much. How
ever, the alfalfa acreage in Redwood
county has not yet reached that fig
ure. A great many people have wish
ed that they had more alfalfa this
winter. How many winters have there
been when there was surplus of this
valuable hay. In years when alfalfa
was plentiful, has it ever sold much
below six dollars per ton? 1t would
seem to be a time when an increase IN
alfalfa and sweet clover acreage
would be real good business. Most
people could use great deal more
than they have. Figured from cash
return standpoint, a three ton yield
from an acre, even at price of Sc,
is not bad cash value for crop in
most years. One should remember
the saving in labor, Irvine, thresh
bills, ect. Redwood county can stand
a big increase in alfalfa production
at the present time, even to doubling
the present acreage.
This is no time to lie down on the
job, since it is matter of record
that the only thing than can lay down
on the job and still get results is
the hen.
Alfalfa seed is cheaper than it has
been for years. This leads to ques-
tions of methods and means of pur-
chasing seecz, Ordinarily, one hesi-
tates at assuming additional liabi-
lities. In the case of alfalfa that is
needed, yet cheap in price, why is it
not good business to take advantage
of the Federal Seed Loan at five and
one-half per cent interest, loaned on
crop mortgage, in order to raise more
alfalfa and take advantage of present
prices? Incidentally, in this discus
sion, alfalfa must be given first place
as crop which will whip Canada
thistles.
One hears that the main difference
between person chewing gum and a
cow chewing her cud is that the cow
generally looks thoughtful. The
same cow might perhaps look more
thoughtful, or even sorrowful, it she
knew that many more winters OF
scarce alfalfa were in prospect.
