School Patrol Efficiency and Courtesy

Too often fail to recognize the significance of
community effort until someone who lives at a dis
lance calls our attention to particular out
standing work being carried in city. This is
true Of other cities. well Sank Centre We do
not entirely overlook worthwhile organizations, but
we most always take them for granted
One of these worthwhile organizations is our
School Patrol which is gaining wide fame in the eff
fciency and courtesy of its members to tourists
Sometime ago police officer from Chicago who
came through the city gave patrol wonderful
compliment when he stated that the Sank Centre or
ganization was efficient any he had seen any
where The latest recognition along this line comes
from Sibley, Iowa, in the form of a letter from Mrs
A F. Moynihan to her husband. Part of the letter
follows:
One of the Supervisors in Sibey asked
me where lived and when told him Sank
Centre, he said he and party went through
there last week Said he liked the school
police-those little girls in the street smiled
so nicely at them when they stopped their
car that Sank Centre was the only town he
remembered along the way He asked all
. about the system and thought it would be
fine thing for Sibley'''"
There is thing certain the school patrol Is a
fine thing for Sank Centre and believe, the girls
and boys who stood out the street during the cold
weather, entitled to praise and recognition not
only from tourists, but from OUT own people as well

business, and II the state, as well as
the nation, continues In the direc-
ton 1t Is going at present, 1t may
soon be necessary for the ordinary
citizen to hold half a dozen licenses
to do the necessary work around
his home. Such an extreme natur-
ally would be folly.-St. Peter Her
aid.
We have heard for a long time
that taxes should be based on "abdl-
ity to pay" and the sentiment has
met universal approval, and at the
same time we have chung to the old
general property scheme of taxa
ton, and kicked like bay steers
whenever any attempt was made to
change the system. When farm
property will not yield enough to
pay the taxes, and city property
only the smallest kind Of a return
after taxes and repairs are paid, 1t
is the grimmest kind of a joke to
speak Of a general property tax be-
ing based on ability to pay. The
best that could he said for general
property taxes Is that they are a
sure source Of public revenue, but
even that advantage Is disappear
ing with the mounting ratio OF de-
linquency.-Morris Tribune.

Times Have Changed

Truly times have changed and where govern
ments and people formerly thought in thousands to-
day they talk billions 1t may be surprising to know
that the money expended during the first three
of the present administration will approximately
equal the spent during the whole first 14 years
of our national existence, but 1t is fact.
Total expenses Of the government from the be-
ginning of President Washingtons first term in 1889
until the end Of President Tafts term in 191. were
$ 521 5 OOO According to the best estimates avail
able, with figures taken from official sources, the
expenses Of the government will reach total Of $24-
206 533OO0 during President Roosevets first three
years in office.
During the first H4 years of our government the
annual average cost $526 for each person In the
last three years it has climbed to average Of
$6455 for each person.
The new 81 SSOOOO,000 work-relief BILL which on
Tuesday started flowing to every section of the
country alone involves money that it cost the
United States to fight the War of 1872 the Mexican
War; the Civil War and the Spanish-American War
combined.
Increased spending in every branch of both ma
tonal and state governments has placed legislative
bodes at their wits end trying to devise sources
for tax monies and in instances have increased
present tax eves to meet the Unsuitable demands of
the tax spenders.
The growth of the nation and the economic in
security have placed demands upon the people in
the form of higher taxes, which is truly something
for every serious-minded citizen to think about.

Gypping the Government
How much can I get out Of the
government for nothing? That
seems a thing that's perfectly right
and respectable to many, many peo-
pie. 1t was never brought out much
more forcibly than in the after
math Of the Hauptmann trial,
where states expert witnesses have
put in bills as high as $4,000 for
telling what they know about hand
writing. When the state wants bit
OF land for highway or other pur-
poses, it Is the same way. The val
ues suddenly go up, as in St.
Louis county where $50 an acre was
paid for land that would ordinar-
lily be dear at S.. And you have
seen the same thing many times in

Time To Halt
Unless halt is soon called in the
government reorganization of bust
ness, 1t soon will be necessary to
have a license to become a grocery
clerk, a farmer, or even a messen-
ger boy, according to J. v. Web
er, state senator from Slayton,
who recently made a public state
ment denouncing the so-called
racket" of organized groups which
he charged are trying to regiment
every profession and trade in the
United States through legislation.
He declared that at the present
time there are fifteen state boards
governing lawyers, physicians,
dentists, osteopaths, nurses, optom-
etrists, BARRIERS, veterinarians,
pharmacists, hairdressers and beau
ty culturists, accountants, archi-
tects, engineers and surveyors,
electricians, chiropodists and chiro-
practors.
Bills to tighten the regulations on
all Of these occupations except
physicians, osteopaths, veterinar-
ians, accountants and architects,
engineers and surveyors have been
introduced at this session as well as
measures to place under state su-
pervision, dental hygienists, well
filters, poultry inspectors, painters
and paper hangers, wholesale gro
GERS, steamfitters and other occu-
pations.
The senator has pointed out the
evils of a movement which Is
spreading rapidly. Government reg
ulation of standards for practicing
professions where the public well
fare is vitaly concerned certainly
is Justified, but whether or not that
same regulation should be carried
out to include all other occupations
is a question we are inclined to
answer in the negative. It appears
that this regulation will provide the
necessary means for many promot-
tiers to get footholds in organizing
various occupations. There is such
a thing as too much government in

Seventy Years Ago

Just 70 years ago this month the disastrous strug-
gle between the North and South came to end, af
ter four years Of hostilities in which 35952S Union
soldiers and 133S21 Confederates lost their lives
cording to the best estimates available.
The Confederate losses may have been consider
ably greater than stated many records lost.
THE total number Of Union troops engaged is
placed at 2,128948, while the number Of Confederate
troops is varously estimated at from 100000 to 9O0

When Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox
on April g. 1855 it Is estimated that the North had
little more than a million men under arms, while the
South was reduced to less than one-fourth Of that
number.
It is interesting to note in passing that at the
close of the Civil War the United States debt less
than three billion dollars, about one-haf as much

To Keen Us Out of War

great devastating conflict On Tuesday the House
passed the McSwan ant-war profits bill, a measure
designed to tax away all excessive earnings Elk

the last

to sacrifice human lives for the profits they may de-
rive from conflict The cloak Of 100 per cent Amer

COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

A federal research department
finds that an annual building vol
ume of 100000 residential units is
required to supply the need of new
dwellings. This takes no account of
replacement Of existing substand-
ard homes, and until these are re-
placed the needed volume could cas-
lily be at the rate of 100000 struc-
lures a year. A building revival
could fall far below thes high linn
its, and still DE powerful factor in
fighting depression. No dollar we
spend does more work in stimulat-
ing domestic trade and providing
employment, than does the building
dollar. Surveys show that 37.3 per
cent Of al the money spent goes to
labor at the site-to excavators,
graders, carpenters, masons, plum
bers, plasterers. The balance of
62.7 per cent goes to buy needed
materials and supplies-and the
great bulk of that is paid to work
ers in the plants and factories man.

eighty cents out Of each dollar goes

Now Desirable To Own a Farm
The government has withdrawn
all it's contract restrictions on
wheat production and because of
threatened shortage of bread mater
ial has suddenly been obliged to
change its policy Of restricting the
production of wheat to encourage
the farmers to increase their acre
age. The continuance of the drouth
in the southwest states Is what
prompted the sudden change says
the Long Prairie Leader.
The farmers who contracted to
reduce their acreage will now be
paid their bonus the same as If
they reduced their acreage and in
addition will profit through what
they get from the sale Of the wheat
they raise on the contracted acres.
It will cost the government total
Of about $1OO,OOO,OO to do this, but
there seemed nothing else to do and
the farmers who were lucky enough
to have signed the contracts will
profit. In this unexpected develop
ment, Minnesota farmers will gain
great deal. It is another factor
contributing to the return of farm
prosperity in the state.
For a number of years past, own
ership Of a farm or of livestock did
not carry any particular benefit but
this condition is rapidly changing

has Minnesota enjoyed the distinction of having a
possible presidential candidate within its borders.
Now there two men, Congressman Theo. Christ

East possible contenders at some time In the fu-
ture. Some Republicans have cast their eye toward
Ted while third party men consider the Governor.
