JAPAN STAKES
ALL ON PLAN IN
MANCHOUKUO
Success or Failure There
Involves Empire, Is
Declared
By MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

HSINKING, Manchuokuo, July
I21.-UP).-"The japanese En-
pire will stand or fall on the sue
cess of Manchoukuo"
The speaker was a high official
of the ManchoukuO government,
and formerly in the Japanese dip
lomatic service. He spoke AS a
japanese and not as 'Manchou-
kuo official.
There are thousands of Japan
csc in the service of the new Man
churian independent state" and
| l found the attitude Of this Off
cial typical of their viewpoint. To
these men Manchuria is more than
country-it is a symbol of the
greatness of modern japan.
]CHlNESE RECONCIED.
The official went on to explain
that resistance of the Chinese
population to the new gOvernmeni
lis decreasing, banditry gradually
lis being eliminated, and public
services improved. A vast plan for
the building of Hsinking into a
great modern capital is under way,
| he said, and national improve
Iments have been started on a
great scale. A limited system Of
national airways, connecting the
principal cities of the state by
regular air mail and passenger
lservice, already is in operation
a number of new railway lines
either already have been opened
or are under construction.
The Chinese Eastern Railway,
renamed the North Manchurian
Railway, is in the possession of
lManchoukuo and negotiations for
1.-THE formal purchase of Soviet
Russia'S interest in the line are
going forward.
The official admitted that Man.
IchoukuO undoubtedly will operate
the c. f. r. to suit herself re-
Egardless of Whether Russia agrees
to the purchase plan or not.
"And if Russia should attempt
ito regain control o. the railway
tby force?" I suggested.
"She will not" he said. "The
lSoviets do not want war with
Japan"
The official was equally frank
labout foreign insistence on OBJ
servance of the principles of
"euual opportunity" and the
"Open door"
"Officially," he said, eve will
maintain these theories. In fact
We are maintaining them now.
We are buying a great deal of
foreign material, other than Jap
aneSe, and we are willing to listen
Ito as many foreign capitalists as
may come to Manchoukuo with
proposals for commercial develop
ment.
"In practice, however, Japan is
getting the bulk of the business.
The Japanese have every advan-
Itage in the competition for trade.
We admit that Manchoukuo could
not live without the support of
Japan and it is natural that, since
many of US, who are officials of
Manihoukuo are Japanese we look
to the mother country for what
we want.
HAS ADVANTAGE.
Japan, too, enjoys a great ad
vantage over any other country
because of the cheapness of her
products, her ability to finance
commercial transactions here. and
her proximity to this market.
ct is our contention, however,
that world commerce and eco
monies will benefit enormously
from the creation of Manchoukuo
Japan still is a great importing
nation and if we buy goods from
Japan it is obvious Japan will buv
more from other countries. jap

COLD YIELD OF NOME HEAVIEST SINCE WARTIME
Exceeds in Value that of Any Other Since 1917
 Stivers Reports

The Seward Peninsula gold pro- duction for the past season, total ing approximately $1,740,845, was the largest since 1917, according to E. R. Stivers, Deputy Collector of Customs of the Port of Nome, who has just completed his annual report on conditions in that dis trict.
 Business generally was better. Both incoming and outgoing mer- chandise shipments, except for fuel shipped in, exceeded those of 1882. There was also an increase in passenger traffic over last year.
 Incoming merchandise shipments increased from 9,887 last year to 10,O85 This year; lumber from 288,126 feet to 1,057,175 feet; fuel oil from 136 tons to 282 tons.
 Coal shipped in dropped from 4,15S tons to 2,741 tons, and diesel oil from 1,105 to 181 tons.
 Reindeer shipments to the States jumped from 190,888 pounds to 384 955 pounds; edible offal from 6,422 pounds to 14430 pounds; reindeer hides from 1,400 to 3,036; live deer from 21 to 62. Decrease was shown in ivory, whalebone and salt herring.
 Passengers arriving from the United States numbered All and those departing 402 compared to 4l3 and 36 for last year.
 The gold production of the dis trict was 60,040 fine ounces, about the same as the 1892 output. The increased value resulted largely from the increased value of the yellow metal under the Admin tration's new monetary policy.

 tenion Near, Announced

 For the first time in many meet ings. no one, other than members of the Council, was present at the meeting last eevning. This was partly attributed to the sever c weather and the fact that no con- troversial matters were scheduled to come up.

Application blanks for Federal
Feed Loans are now at the County
Agents office, St Cloud, and all in
terested folks can have applications
filled out there. These feed loans
are similar to seed loans made in
the spring Of 1882 and 80, except
that chattel property is required
for security. Where chattel prop
erty is now mortgaged a waiver
from the holder Of the mortgage
must be secured.
The limit on these loans is $250.00
to one farmer and $1,000 per head
is the limit for all mature cattle
and horses. The allowance for
young cattle, hogs and sheep will be
scaled down in proportion.

LEARNING IN OLD AGE

Another ancient idea which is said to have been
refuted by scientific research is the belief that
after reaching maturity ones ability to learn is
iously lessened. After long series of experiments
cares that may learn rapidly at so at u.s.
TO those who have had the will to learn in later
fe this is nothing It is suspected that the plea
of too old to learn" was invented by someone who
was too Indifferent or too lazy to try.
Persons who have attained success in any calling
involving much mental effort have been obliged to go
on learning from year to year in order to keep
abreast with developments and discoveries.
Many have changed to entirely line of work
and have distinction in it after reaching middle
age.
Because Of rapidly changing conditions in civil
ization which is becoming more and complex
it will be even more necessary in the future than
in the past that study be continued curing the
tire period of active life.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

1t may sound strange to some, but recent warn
ngs respecting the threat to freedom of the press
not without basis of fact. In his annual report
Carl w. Alderman. head of Columbia University's
school of journalism declares that the only possibility
Of the United States escaping dictatorship rests
with the maintenance of free and courageous press
In formal statement few days ago, Senator
Schall of Minnesota warned that 1--WE shall see the
destruction of all newspapers that attempt to criti
CHE the gods controlling national administra-
ton"
These may be extreme views but it cannot be
doubted that the press of the country has been
usually inid of late in commenting governmental
policies concerning which constructive criticism
might be helpful.
1t was entirely commendable that the press gen.
orally regardless of party politics, should give sup
port the sincere effort of the present administra
ton devise means and effect legislation for the
betterment of conditions. But that every move made
should be accepted sound and beneficial is some
thing else.
The question arises whether the American
people willing to surrender all the liberties their
forefathers fought and died for simply for the sake
of new theories which not working out in prac-
tice.
Certainly the press should try to be fair, but it
should not weakly surrender its constitutional right
to free expression.

Deficiencies Assessed to
the General Tax Levy
States Gets % Per cent sf Revenue
From Property Tex
LevieS

The State government continues
to rely on general property taxes
for % per cent of its total revenue.
Local taxes, on the other hand, are
almost all dependent ON this source
for its revenue, counties raise APP
proximately 90 per cent from gen.
eral property; cities stih take 80
per cent from this place; school dis
tricts, 80 per cent; and the town
ships, "a per cent, according to a
statement issued by the Ninnesota
Taxpayers Association
1.-The general property tax, which
includes real estate and personal
porperty, is sometimes referred to
as a deficiency tax In the sense
that from it is taken what Is not
available from other tax sources.
For instance, when tho normal in
come from such taxes as gross
earnings, tonnage taxes. ETC., is far
below the average, the State adds
the deficiency to the general prop
erty tax for support, and the aver
age taxpayer is called upon In in
creased taxes to pay into the State
treasury the amount that Il short in
the other funds" J. p. Mcdonnell,
president Of the Association, stated.
Gross earnings, paid by railroads
and other public utilities, dropped
from a yield Of 81, SIC, 40 in the
fiscal period of 1928-29, to 1882 4S
in the period 1882. The estimated
yield for 1928 was placed at So
O92, 900, a still further drop.
when real estate Is required to
make up these deficiencies, plus
its normal burden, It sends thous-
ands of taxpayers into the delin-
quent list, and It proves that tax
reduction can be brought about only
by a reduction in public spending"
Mr.. Mcdonnell pointed out.

Muster Day Sept. Is

Plans for participation in the an
nual farm bureau muster day were
made by directors of the Stearns
county farm bureau at a meeting
at st. Cloud, on Sept. Is. Officers
also decided to make a farm to
farm canvass to acquaint nom
members with the need for farm
organization and to invite them to
join with the largest farm organi-
cation in the nation in fighting for
economic justice for agriculture.
Farmers must have cost of pro-
duction plus profits. Other lines of
business, such as railroads, banks,
manufacturers and to large extent
merchants, and labor, are organic
ed for mutual protection. Each
group naturally works for its own
advantage and farmers must do the
same, through organization, If they
are not to be the forgotten group
in the rehabilitation of America"
declares A. J. Olson, president of
the Minnesota farm bureau and
spokesman for it's 10000 members.
"a million members of the Amer
lean farm bureau have spoken at
Washington, through their fighting
president E. A. O'Neal, for the ag-
ricultural reforms that have already
been embodied in the New Deal
legislation But even a million
farmers are not sufficient to put
over the revolutionary changes in
handling of farm commodities and
in financing agriculture that must
come before the farmer can again
become prosperous-it will take sew
eral million farmers to do the job
the way it should be DONE" Mr.. Oh
son says.
The Stearns county farm bureau
is going to do it's part in bringing
the farm bureau up to it's greatest
possible strength.
e. L. Ferguson, of the farm bur
eau field force, who conferred with
Stearns county farm bureau offic-
ials at the meeting on Wednesday
was told that every township in the
county would receive the attention
of local volunteer workers, who will
carry the farm bureau message to
those who are not now members of
the organization Mr.. Ferguson is
to assist the Stearns county farm
bureau in it's membership work.
