Deaths by Counties

4 UTOMOBILE ACCIDENT statistics
~ are reduced to counties in the current
report of the Minnesota Public Safety
committee for 1885, which indicates both
Redwood and Renville counties made poorer
showings in accident prevention during 1885
than in 1884.
Redwood coVnty's toll in car accidents
was four last year compared with three the
previous year, placing it fourteenth among
80 counties of the state having over 10000
population.
Seven lives were lost in Renville county
road tragedies in 1885 while five was the
the toll the previous year. The county drop
ped to twenty-ninth on the list.
Brown county lost five compared with
ten the previous year and stood eighteenth
while in the under 10000 list, Yellow Medi-
cine county was nineteenth with three
deaths last year and two the year before,
Lyon was twenty fourth with four instead
of two and Murray was twenty-sixth with
three deaths last year and two the year be-
fore, the entire region having only one coun-
ty with an improved showing.

A Good Tax Feature

The LARGE PART of the cost of gaso-
line which the gas tax constitutes is
well known to motorists yet we doubt
if anyone would have guessed near the total
amount of taxes so paid in the United States
since the gas tax was originated II years
ago in Oregon. That amount, according to
a reliable source, is $5,318,615,856.
Started in small way, the tax has been
pushed up frequently as legislative bodies
felt the need of more funds, and in the face
of complaints from motorists and oil COM
panies. 1t is doubtful, however, if the vast
improvement in highways and the conse-
quent wider use Of motor cars and increased
gas and oil consumption could have been
possible in any other way.
Some lowering Of the gas tax should be
possible when the road problem becomes
one of maintenance than of construction.
The money should not be diverted into other
funds for in that way the fairness of the
tax is defeated.
There is one thing about the tax which
should be a feature of more taxes. The
payer knows exactly what part of the pur-
chase it is when he pays it.

Good Seed Important

\ GRICULTURAL experts are laying
n particular stress this spring on the i'm
portance of good seed, proved so by
rigid tests. Several factors make the mat
ter of extreme Importance this spring, most
important of which is that much grain rails
ed last year has been found to be of inferior
quality for planting.
With considerable moisture on the
fields, it is likely that the planting season
may be delayed and it will be too late once
stands are found to be poor to replant with
better seed. Moreover past seasons have
proved the Importance of planting grains
which will get good starts before the dry
midsummer weather comes on.
Good seed is always important but it is
douby so when prices are better and few
extra bushels per acre make considerable
difference in profits to the farmer.

Have General Support

The CITY COUNCIL and police depart
ment's efforts to put an end to boot
Il leg competition for the municipal IL
quor store, at the same time preventing the
distribution of inferior stuff and governing
the hours of sale, are very generally ap-
plauded.
Redwood Falls voters have for two
years favored the operation of city store.
While some voters felt the revenue which
would accrue to the city would in turn make
a lower tax rate possible, the principal sup
port came from persons believing that boot
leggers would find the city most profitable
camping ground without legal source of
supply.
Persons who voted for the store for
either reason, as well as those who opposed
it, hope and expect that the anti-bootleg
campaign will not be shortlived but will con-
tinue whenever persons risk violation of the
law, either as buyers or sellers.

Back-In % Years

THE UTTER FUTILITY of war as a
manner of settling world problems was
never more apparent than this week
with the great powers of Europe, in almost
identical arrangement, back at each others
threats as they were slightly less than 22
years ago when the great war began.
Also questionable is the value OF treat
les, agreements and alliances, secret and
open, as deterrents of war. How very little
Europe learned or otherwise gained from the
last war is enough to discourage even the
most determined pacifist.
Nor is the blame all due any one coun-
try. No European power can, with comfort
able conscience, condemn others for treaty
violations and none of the combatants IN
the last world tragedy can even pretend that
it unselishly and honestly, by leadership
and example, took any important and whole
hearted step toward disarmament and right
ing the injustces which breed war
It seems incredible that the nations
meeting at Geneva so regularly could not
have anticipated the course which Germany
has taken and the resulting crisis. NO
country so long powerful and proud should
have been expected to abandon permanently
it's important position, even though beaten,
and assume indefinitely the role of minor
power. By their very unwillingness to en-
COuI age VIC 1CpuUAC UOAA AL NNAAAAe"A 'AoAA
the abdication of the Kaiser, allied powers
set the stage for the rise of the dictator Hit
ler rise made possible by the oppression OF
the victors and the Germans pride in coun-
try in spite of the tremendously foolhardy
and unpopular things he has done.
America aside from munition trusts and
creditors of the allied powers perhaps, saw
in the Kaiser, threat to Democracy and
went to war with the idealistic hope of end
ing that threat and with it, perhaps, all
wars. There was at the outset little feeling
against the German people except as they
might be instruments of the Kaiser. This
was not true of our allies. There was no
idealism, only greed and fear in their mo-
tives.
Today there is overwhelming public
opinion in America to avoid foreign entang-
lements and above all to stay out of wars,
but how enduring will that attitude be? Will
foreign propagandists again find us easy
prey? Will industry, over-anxious for war
markets, and international bankers, through
our diplomats, cause history to repeat itself
here as it is on the other shore?
Today we hear young men say-"Iu
never go to war until the invader is about to
land on our shore" and "I'll fight no other
nations battles" and we applaud the COM
mon sense of the stand.
But all this can change in an unbeliev-
ably short time when bands play and flags
wave-if we let it.

w nth BONUS MONEY to arrive in mid
M summer, loans available at reason
W able rates and strong demand for
living quarters, Redwood Falls contractors
and tradesmen are almost assured busy
summer which by fall will have resulted in a
score or more of new homes and innumer-
able improvements and remodeling jobs on
present dwellings.
Not few home owners, hard hit on
heating costs in an unprecedented winter,
will take precautions with insulation of vari-
Gus kinds, all of which are certain to cut
down fuel bills and pay for themselves in
very few winters.
Many homes which or necessity have
been allowed to run down in depression
years will get attention this summer, atten-
ton which will make them more desirable
homes or rental property and help to keep
them occupied if the city every becomes ov-
erbuilt.
Some dire predictions have been made
as to the possibility of getting too many
houses and apartments, the surplus result
ing in lower property values and unpront-
able rental To these forecasts we cannot
subscribe. Persons watching closely the
trend in renting find the number of families
moving to Redwood Falls and the number
geIrlng married have kept pace with build
ing operations, cOnQlClOn Wnlcn seems GER
tain to continue
Rents were lowered when incomes went
down several years ago although there was
never an appreciate over supply of living
quarters. They are back now to near old
levels, in most instances, in the face of an
unusual amount of building in 1885.
Each new and improved building means
more taxable property on the assessment
rolls and when appreciate gains are made
lower rate of taxation will produce the
same revenue, making small savings pos
sible on each property.
Even supposing the time comes when
few houses will go begging for occupants,
they will be the less desirable ones on which
the owners have refused or neglected to
make improvements.

Back To 1918

american WOflQ war veterans VINO
were in the Army of Occupation following
the Armistice of 1913 find memories of their
stay in the Rhineland wildly revived by the
German reoccupation of the past two days.
Few American vets there are who
don't develop bit of some kind of senti-
ment over the knowledge that German
soldiers have not set foot in that territory
since the Yanks followed them out over the
bridgeheads of the Rhine almost Is years
ago.
Familiar names appear in the news
Coblenz, Mainz, Bonn, and Cologne-and
they revive vivid memories for American
vets. Memories, for instance, of a populace
that was sullen and Indifferent unlike the
cheering, fag-waving one that today greets
Hitler's troops, but that soon yielded to the
American spirit of comradery despite orders
against fraternizing. Memories of a coun-
try unscarred by war, in sharp contrast to
the French soil so shortly left behind. Mem
cries of learning again, in this beautiful
countryside, that there still was joy of liv-
ing.
Other less attractive memories are
aroused, too, as French frontier towns once
more spring into the news. The names of
Metz, and Nancy, and Strassbourg bring
back recollections of an area where the ma
jority of Americans first jumped off into the
hell of the World War.
So the veterans have memories today,
pleasant and otherwise. Marshall Messeng-

ABDOMINAL PAIN
OFTEN SERIOUS

The sooner the "acute appen-
dix" is out, the better for the
patient.
A study of approximately 5000
cases operated for appendicitis in
a large city hospital is reported
liz the bulletin issued by the Min
neesota State Medical association.
This study shows that the death
rate from appendicitis is not 60
ing down as it should.
1t shows, also, that most of the
people waited for from three to
tour days before they came to
the hospital for operation. By
that time the appendix was al
eady perforated in large num-
Ger of cases and chances for quick
recovery were seriously reduced.
1t shows furthermore, that
something more than third of the
patients who came with perfor-
ated or abscessed appendix had
taken laxatives after the pain
started and before they found out
that the trouble was not indiges-
ton but appendicitis.
Death rates from appendicitis
will not go down much, according
20 the bulletin, until people learn
that persistent pain in the stom-
ach or abdomen is likely to be
dangerous. and that home dosing
with laxatives may lead to a gen.
eral peritonitis.
The doctors note, also, that
more than half of the critical
cases in this study followed upon
first attack. They caution ap-
pendicitis patients against any
disposition to neglect a first at.
tack on the mistaken notion that
first attacks always subside with.
out serious consequences.
