I get hold of -several Pioneers every Sunday; and I have greatly enjoyed the ‘live’ manner in which you have always boosted’ this section.” Mr. Lenihan stated that he intended purchasing more land hereabouts; and he took home with him several samples of the splendid vegetables which can be raised in Beltrami county, to show the skeptics, if any should be found, that the land of this section cannot be beaten for productive- ness. CARNEGIE ADVOCATES BIG INHERITANGE TAX Half of Rich Man's Wealth Should Go to State, Los Angeles, Cal, March 25.—Phi- losophy, wit and advice were com- mingled in the remarks of Andrew Carnegie at a banquet given in his honor at the California club by the chamber of commerce. Carnegie said: “I believe that a man who dies with millions should forfeit one-half to the state.” The ironmaster declared against the income tax, calling it a lie breeder Continuing, he said: “There have come upon us combi- nations. They are bound to : ‘=st. We must accept combination as a \\w of the age. “We are bound to have regulation, or the consumer has no chance. “A judge who would sit in a case in which he is interested would be dis- honorable. “A corporation cannot be allowed to fix its own laws. “If I may turn prophet for a mo- ment 1 will predict that before many years the laborer will be both capi- talist and workman.’ “The day is coming when a man who operates on the stock exchange will not be recognized as a man of affairs. 1 have strong ideas about these gamblers. I do not comsider that they should be recognized. “I do not believe in an income tax. My plan is simpler and better. An income tax would make a nation of liars. Let men make all the money they can in their lifetime, but when they die let the state take half of it. That is a pretty good dividend.” Our Imports Are Increasing.

Jester Completes Arrangemenis for Appearance Here of W. E. Fust of Minneapolis. Al. H. Jester, Bemidji Commercial club, has com- pleted arrangements for the appear- ance here next Monday afternoon of a beet sugar expert, who will address a meeting at the City hall; and Mr. Jester says: -“W. E.-Fust, the agricultural ex- pert of the:Carver County :Sugar company, owners of the beet sugar factory. at Chbaska, will be here Monday, and he will make a special address to the farmers and others of this section on the sugar beet industry and manfacture of the sugar. “Mr. Fust is an expert in the mat- ter of raising sugar beets, having been in charge of that work for the Carver County Sugar company, and he has for many years superintended the culture of the sugar beets, of which there are many hundreds of acres planted each year, in the vicinity of Chaska. He has been very successful in instructing farmers in the sugar beet industry, and he will give an experienced talk on how to plant beets, the kind of seed to use for the best results, how to culti- vate the beets, and the cost per acre of planting, cultivating and harvest- ing the crop, as well as the advice as how to proceed generally to obtain the best results. “Mr. Fust will tell of the per- manency of the profit of the sugar beet industry, and how, once the raising of beets is started and adhered to, the permanent prosperity of the farmer is assured. ’ “There should be a large attend- ance at this meeting, as the raising of sugar beets is the one industry that can be successfully and profit- ably followed in this section; and the results of the present sugar beet agitation will surely result in the establishment of a factory in Bemidji, if there is hearty co-opera- tion and stick-to-it-iveness shown.’ secretary of the Falls Five Stories; Escapes Injury. .
