ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A surprising check turned up in the
state auditors Office few days ago.
It was issued by the state highway de-
partment in the sum of $8,O00 and
purported to be in payment of 80 acres
of land for the proposed transient
camps in the Minnesota Valley or for
land for right-of-way purposes for the
new highway proposed through the
valley about one and one-half miles
from the present paved highway over
the same route.
1t seems that Stafford King, state
auditor, thought something more than
$500 per acre for the land was pretty
healthy price. He sent out trustworthy
appraisers to view the land. Julius
Schmahl, state treasurer. heard about
the matter and, as he might be called
upon to pay the check, did little
investigating on his own account. The
appraisers returned estimates of the
value Of the land ranging from $25 to
the value of the land would be $3.50.
The camps proposed to be located in
the Minnesota River Valley were re-
jected by the Executive Council as in
expedient and unwise. Governor Olson
however, has been going ahead with
his plans for these camps much to the
indignation Of the people of the valley
who vigorously object to any such
undertakings in their vicinity.
With the first returns of the state
wide auto poll on governor running sc
strongly in favor of Martin A. Nelson
Governor Olson is reported to have
chewed his nails and said: 1.-THE latest
mask for hte republican party is the
United Minnesota Voters, the only
purpose of which is to secure an
endorsement for the republican candi-
date. The latest smoke screen is a fake
straw ballot for auto owners under
which the republican henchmen can
cast or lO0 or even lOOO ballots 1ol
the republican candidate"
We would feel bad too, Governor, il
the ballots were running against us.
Notwithstanding the Governors ir-
ritable outgiving it is difficult to be-
lieve that even he thinks that the
publishers of twenty-three Minnesota
daily newspapers are as corrupt as his
statement indicates.
Governor Olson and the farmer-labo1
state organization threw themselves
with all their resources into the St
Paul election only to have the voters
turn them down; the Governor went
out to Montevedio and urged the citi-

Paul Auditorium before which
he spoke as the clamor and APP
plause which greeted his sar-
castle sallies of wit at the eX-
pense of the opposing candi-
dates, indicated. His deeper
thoughts, and he had some
worthy of consideration, were
met with silence on the part of
the "clackers," showing they
were there to applaud the gov
ernor when he flayed the OPP
position and ripped a handful
of feathers from the American
eagle.
He felt around among tax
figures and picked out those
that appealed to his party but
failed to notice the figures
given out by State Auditor
Stafford King in which the
auditor showed that while
cities, towns, counties and
school districts had lowered
their taxes in every instance
since 1880, the state taxes had
been boosted in ST. Louis
county alone from $1,823,292.-
81 in 1880 to $3,312,898.84 in
1888.
Every one of the eighty
seven Counties reduced its
township and school district
tax levies, Mr.. Kings figures
reveal. Total township taxes
were $1O,O8O,533 in 1880 and
$5,OO5,056 in 1888, a decrease
of 50.35 per cent. School dis
trict levies were 43,048,540 in
1880 and $34,797,025 in 1888,
a 1916 per cent decrease.
County taxes were decreased
in all but seven counties. Total
county levies were $27 ,029,431
in 1880 and $22,679,702 in
1888, a decrease of 1909 per
cent. City and village levies
were cut in all but six counties.
The total dropped from $780,
891,335 to $35,39O,7O2, a de-
crease of 11.28 per cent.
State taxes alone went up.
The total levy was $10,872,105
in 1880, and $17,868,044 in
1888, an increase of 64.35 per
cent. The grand total of state
and local taxes was $3.50, 921,-
946 in 1880 and $115, 740,530
in 1888, a decrease of 11.60 per
cent.

Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
relief administrator, in a recent
statement made the claim that
there are as high as ten per
cent of those accepting help
from the government who are
not entitled to the same. Many
have resources, bank accounts.
etc., but refuse employment be-
cause they prefer to be govern
ment fed rather than accept
employment. The people OF
the country are in favor OF
helping those that need it but
do feel that those able to sup
port themselves should not
gouge the government. If Ad-
ministrator Hopkins knows of
such cases, it assuredly is up to
him and his organization to see
that it is corrected.

We were of the impression
that we were hard up in this
section of the country when
along comes a set of pictures
from Burke, S. D., showing the
devastation wrought by three
years of grasshoppers followed
by the 1884 drought. The pic
lures show ground drifted in
rows, almost covering the far
mer's buildings. The drifts
resembled snow drifts in this
country last winter and the cat
tie of the farms were nothing
but skin and bones. When we
look at the pictures we wonder
what we are complaining
about.

Wee Scouty, still tied to the chair, told Dotty she must have a care in sneaking from the Meanies' camp. "Crawl on the ground said he.
 "Then, when you're almost out of sight, jump up and run with all your might I'll keep the Meanies eating big gumdrops. Leave that to me-"
 "Okay", said Dotty. Here I go. At first I'll take it rather slow, and then, just as you say, I'm going to run like everything.
 Don't worry. You won't sit there long. Soon you'll be back where you belong. A bunch of fighting Cheerful Chaps OCT here I'm going to bring
 Then Dotty left. and scouty cried, Hey. Meanies, now that you have tried those very tasty gumdrops. why don't you all try some more?

 'I found wee Scouty. He agreed to carry out the plan we need. Here's where we win this funny war, and it won't be so hard"
 "Hurray for you." cried Duncy, Gee. you're just as smart as you can be. I'll take the lead. Cone on, you Cheerful Chaps, we're on our way!
 Across the open field we'll scoot Have your cork guns all set to shoot. It thrills me just to think that we'll have Scouty back today"
 They reached the Meany camp and then. the Meanies started run ming when the Cheerful Chaps and Tinies let their little cork guns pop.

INDIANA PICKED
TO OPEN drive
ON CH|NCH BUG
7 States Given 100000
for War on Destroyer
of Crops.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Indi-
ana is n of seven states where an
immediate drive, backed by a ST.
100000 fund, is to be made on the
crop destroying chinch bug, it was
announced today by DR.. Rexford
Guy Tugweil, assistant secretary Of
agriculture.
Other states where the battle will
get under way at once are Illinois.
Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma.
A chinch bug control committee
will be organized in each state, the
organization extending down to the
county, and the state work placed in
the hands of an entomologist, &C
cording to present plans.
Farmers will do the work re-
quired to protect their own fields.
Combat Method Explained
The agriculture department ex-
plains the method of combating the
pest as follows:
"Chinch bug control depends large
ly on the repellant action of creosote
and undistilled coal tar. Barriers
of creosote or coal tar, placed be-
tween fields of small grain where
this pest spends the early part of
its life-and corn f1elds-to which it
migrateS as soon as the small grains
are harvested or become too dry to
afford succulent food are the most
effective mean known of halting
the advance of the pest.
only a few. of the bugs will have
reached the winged, or full-grown
stage when they will be forced to
leave the ripe. grain and crawl to
the immature corn. Their migra-
ton, usually on sunny afternoons,
from grain to corn fields affords an
excellent opportunity to trap them
by means of barriers.
"a barrier path easily is made by
blowing a furrow with the ridge of
earth on the side toward the corn
field. A two-inch line of creosote
or coal tar is run along the brow
of this ridge, and post holes, hared
at the top, are dug at intervals along
the bottom of the furrow.
Fall Into Deep Holes
There seems to be no physical
reason, entomologists say, why
chinch bugs can not cross the creo-
Sote OF coal tar, but practically all
of them turn back from the brown
ish, strong-smelling streak in the
ground and move along the furrow,
from which they eventually drop
down into the holes.
"AS they can not crawl up the
steep sides of the pits, they collect
in them and may be killed with
kerosene or py crushing. Great
hordes of bugs can be destroyed by
the use of such barriers. From sew
en- to eight bushels, with more than
eight million bugs to the bushel,
have been caught along a half mile
barrier in a week.
1.-THE funds provided by congress
for the campaign this year will
make possible the building of more
than thirty thousand miles of bar
rier."
