No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. i 20 <l o 2 i B e 2B Mo o o < B 3B B B S Subscribe for the Daily Pioneer.

Vuisred lo the postoffice at Bsmidjl Minn,, as second class mat Official Paper Village of Bemidiji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Queer Reasoning. ‘Governor Johnson says that the present system of state drainage is ‘“‘unsatisfactory’’ for the reason that the whole state is made to bear the buwrden of cost and recommends that some plan be devised by which the area drained may pay for the cost of drainage. This argument looks very fair on its face. As a matter of fact it is the exact opposite, as a very brief consideration of the matter will conclusively demonstrate. Under the present system the state appropriates money for the drainage of state lands and for this purpose only. The state drainage commission has no au- thority and no right to expend one penuy for the drainage of any land but state swamp lands, and not one penny has ever been spent by the state drainage com- mission for the ditching of any lands but state swamp lands, Whenever the state drains-its swamp lands nearby lands be- longing to indiyidual citizens are benefitted and Governor Johnson says that these individual citizens should pay the cost of ditching the state swamp lands because their lands are individually bene- fitted. The state has spent less than $100,000 draining its swamplands and it has thereby increased the value of these lands fully $1,000- 000. Because private lands have also been increased in value Gov- ernor Johnson says the private lands should pay the cost. ‘i Instead of the State reaching] out to aid its citizens, the citizens should reach out to put a big profit in the pockets of the state. Could any proposition be more preposterous? Tax Revision. There are scores of plans for revising the tax code of Minne- sota and it is generally admitted that the code needs revising very much indeed. In this connection the first bill to be introduced in the house of representatives for the session of 1905 is interesting. The bill pro- vides for a constitutional amend- ment permitting the legxslature to levy on all form and - kinds of property and to provide a tax on incomes. A notable feature of the bill also is that it raises per- sonal proparty exemptions from $100 to $360. The plan appears to be ‘“‘safe and sane.” The leg- islature, it appears to us, should have the power to bring every class of property under taxation, for it is undeniable that every class of property should bear its share of the burden of taxation. As to increasing the personal property exemption to $300 the Pioneer heartily favors the plan. Itis the man with a compara- tively small amount of property ‘who now bears the heavy end of the load of taxation; the few hun. dreds or few thousands that he has it is difficult to hide. But the man who has tens and hundreds of thousands can find means to hide a goodly share of it. It will be well for the state to increase the exemption and to make more diligent search for hidden prop- erty. THE man who makes a special- ty of any thing is the man who knows the most about that thing. No one knows so well how to se- cure the best results in advertis- ing as do the great firms who ad- vertise in all parts of the coun- s PIONEER WANT COLUMN - Paints!

Stephens, Crooks- ton, Minn. try. neer begs to call attention to the fact that it carries more foreign advértising than all the papers of Beltrami county put together and that four times more foreign adyertising is fownd 1n the col- umns of the Pioneer than in any other paper in north central Min- nesota. There can be no more conclusive testimony as to the comparative value of the news- papers of this part of the state than these facts. In this connection the Pio- THF reports of Sup’t Sprague of the poot farm and Dr. Blakes- lee, county "health officer, are published elsewhere in this issue and give abundant testimony to the wisdom of the county board in reelecting these gentlemen for The fact that so many patients haye been cared for at the poor farm with so few deaths, when the condi- tion in which sick patients are receiyed at the poor farm is con- sidered, is remarkable and that the county health officer should have treated 500 cases with but five deaths, three of these being from tuberculosis, is particularly noteworthy and commendable, the ensuing two years. THE trial of Dr. Koch at New Ulm for the murder of Dr. Geb- hardt has developed a case of purely circumstantial evidence. The trouble with the most per- fect case of circumstantial evi- dence is that it may be wholly and utterly wrongand to convict a man upon such evidence is tak- ing desperate chances. IT APPEARS that the only time Hennepin county can get togeth- eris when it wants to defeat a republican candidate for gover- nor. This being the case Henne- pin county should look to democ- racy for whatever it wants in the way of political favors.
