Your attention is called to the art- icles on county officers printed in other columns this issue. These art- icles were not written by the candi- dates, are not paid for or to be paid for, and are printed only because the editor believes the readers of this paper are -entitled, as a matter of news and information, to kmow of these officers and their office duties. No reading matter which has been or is to be paid for ever appears on the front page or in. the editorial columns of this paper. In all justice to yourself, Mr. Voter, you should carefully study these articles. —_ Kill Amendment Six. There is one amendment to be vot- ed on election day that should be de- feated and that is the seven senator bill. It should not be allowed to Dass by the thoughtlessness or care- lessness of the voters. Northern Minnesota cannot afford to have this amendment become a part of the state constitution. It is not fair to the voters of a county, which may be entitled at some future time through the growth of its population, to more than seven senators. If a county has the population it should have its just. and equal representation whether it be seven or twenty-seven senators. Northern Minnesota: counties have been and are now up against the rep- resentation problem. They have far less representation than that to which they are entitled. They have been fighting hard for more, but hive been unable to secure it, even with the assistance of the three big coun- ties, Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis, Southern Minnesota has been too strongly represented and has defeat- ‘ed any attempt at reapportionment. The three big counties have fought hard with us and will continue to . fight, and if they are entitled to more representation in the senate than seven they should have it. The Southern counties urge the passage of this seven senator bill, which if passed election day, will block Northern Minnesota’s further assistance from the big counties. They have given us aid in the past and will be able to give us more in the future if they are permitted to secure senators in proportion' to their population. Northern Minnesota wants reap- portionment and all agree that it should have it. Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties want reap- portionment and have been extend- ing their every effort to help us get it. Southern counties do not want it. Why? For the simple reason that it will legislate some senator out of office and reduce their repre- sentation to exactly what it should be. Northern Minnesota must win, and to win it must kill the seven sena- tor amendment election day. For Good Roads. Many business men and farmers appear to misunderstand the. Dunn amendment_which is to be voted on mnext Tuesday. They say that it will increase the taxation and that they have enough already. It is true that it will increase the taxation—but the amount that the people of this coun- ty will pay is insignificant compared with the benefits that will be receiv- ed. County Auditor George says that the average land tax on forty acres in the town of Frohn is $140. At the present time, the farmer is pay- ing one fourth of ome mill a year state road and bridge tax and on an average, forty in the town of Frohn this amounts-to $.04. The amendment proposes to increase this'tax to one mill which would mean an increase on this average forty of from four cents to fourteen-cents & year. On the other hand, the.iron mines of the range country, the business blocks of the big cities, and the farm= ers of Southern Minnesota who al- ready have good roads will have to Day this tax and on' their valueés it will mean a material increase. The amount of money which will go to be but fifteen or twenty per cent of the amount that the state will spend here for good roads. 2 Every farmer in the county can figure this out for himself. He knows his assessed valuation. Multiply the assessed valuation by .001—which is one mill—and it will give him the amount of tax he will have to pay. At present he is paying oné-fourth of it. 3 In return for this small increase, the county receives the aid of the state in’the building of every state road in the county and already two 'have been mapped out. It is a busi- ness proposition for the farmer and not a onme can afford-to let a few business man and farmer here must vote for it. PAID ADVERTISEMENT. $10.00 for Series. trami county.

For- tunately the legislature of 1911 pass- ed a law giving the commissioners of certain counties of small valuation. the right to increase the ordinary clerk hire of auditors to an amount which might be necessary to’accomp- lish the work, subject to the approval of the public examiner and the at- torney general.

They have been willing to work nights, Sun- days and holidays and have needed no driving at any time. I have never expected them to work unless I was working with them. The current. work has largely in- creased in the last two years. More tax certificates were issued in 1911 than had been issued in all the pre- vious years since the organization of the county, and more were issued in 1912 than for all years before in- cluding 1911. Each one of these cer- tificates means more than ten times the amount of work needed, if taxes ‘were paid up promptly, instead of be- ing allowed to go‘into judgment. Regarding the policy of changing auditors every two years,sI can say only this: I.have been in the office for nearly two years and I find that there are some'-things yet to learn. A new auditor would réquire as much time to learn the routine and then probably give way to another in two years. No first class business house would think of doing such a thing. Experience is what they want and The auditors’ office is the last place where a change of head is beneficial many matters in process at all times, matters that require a week or a are made the system is broken and chaos reigns once more.

There is nothing new about the idea of using Sage for restoring the color of the hair. ‘Our grandmothers hair dark, glossy and use of a simple Whenever their hair streaked appearance, they made a brew of Sage leaves, and applied it to their hafr with wonderful benefi- cial effect. Nowadays we don’t have to resort to the old-time tiresome method of | gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skillful chem- ists better than we could do it our- selves; and all we have to do is to call for the ready-made product: Wy- eth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing Sage “in the proper strength, with the addition of Sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
