Ringdal chairman of the state board of con- trol, Governor Eberhart will prove that he is large enough to see real merit even in a political opponent and that the interest of the state is his first consideration. Mr. Ringdal is a Democrat and opposed Governor Eberhart for the election but never- theless he is a capable, efficient man and has made good on the board of control, Vs o = 4 Some Good Suggestions, R. C. Dunn, editor of the Prince- ton Union and father of the Dunn good roads amendment, is busy lin- ing up some things for the next leg- islature. Mr. Dunn’s ideas are well set forth in the following interview which recently appeared in the Min- neapolis Journal: “Mr. R. C. Dunn, whose intelligent and energetic interest in the cause of good roads has already proved fruitful, outlines an interesting leg- islative program to follow the adop- tion by the people of the one-mill road tax amendment. “In his newspaper, the Princeton Union, Mr. Dunn expresses the opin- inon that in view of the emphatic verdict on election day, there should be no opposition in the legislature to the levying of the one-mill tax. The amendment, of course is merely it remains for the legislature to take advantage there- of. The vote, however, as Mr. Dunn declares, is practically a mandate to permissive and the legislature to levy the tax and spend the money wisely. The one- mill tax, however, cannot be levied before 1914, by which year the State Highway Commission should have Perfection or other room. it in cold weather. last 12 hours. : Price on black Stoves..............

Detalls of an extraordinary scene which took place while the czar was papectlng troops near Moscow re- cently are now leaking out. While hll imperial majesty was passing down the lines of the Second In- fantry regiment, a private of the Fourth company suddenly stepped out of line, threw down his rifle and rushed up to the czar to hand him a k| petition, At first it was believed that an attempt was being made on the czar's life, and officers standing by threw themselves upon the man. It was ascertained, however, that the man merely wished to present a pe- tition, stating that he had been forced to serve in the army instead of his brother, who had not drawn the free ticket. He was placed under ar- rest. The czar was greatly annoyed at the occurrence, and crdered the pun- Jshment of all the officers connected with the regiment. The chief com- mander of the military district has re- ceived a severe note, the commander iof the army corps a caution, the commender of the Second Infantry regiment a service reprimand. The commander of the battalion to which the company belongs has been asked to retire, and the captain of the com- pany and the officer of the man’'s de- tachment have been dismissed from .the geryice. The man himself has . received thirty days’ imprisonment, ibut it is stated that his grievance 1will be inquired into. {PULLING TOOTH WITH “BIKE™ iNovel Dentistry Method of Two Lads } Falled Because One Lost His Nerve, The best tcoth pulling story comes from Ocean Park and involves twq boys and a bicycle.

Although the manufacturer has been creating a de- mand for his product through a big advertising campaign it is up to the local merchant to carry on the advertising campaign in his community, and not only handle goods of quality but be strong in telling of their merits. While business has heen developing, advertising, as a part of business, has undergone great changes. About fifty years ago it was considered contrary to business ethics to solicit a customer away from a competitor. From then to now is only a short span of years, and yet today about $1,000,000,000 is spent annually in advertis ing.

He suggests, for example, that every automobile owner should pay a license fee based on the horsepower of his engine, this license to be in lieu of all other taxation on automobiles. The sug- gestion is worth considering. It is the automobile that has given the greatest impetus to the building of ®ood roads, just as it is the automo- bile that has quickly worn out many a good dirt road. Motor cars have created new necessities, and perhaps they should bear a heavier share of the cost of road building. “In considering this however, the proposition, legislature must re- member that Mr. Dunn’s plan means a further taxation of city property fer rural improvements. If automo- biles are taken from the personal as- sessment roll, the cities will lose an important resourcs for taxation pur- poses. That means they must levy higher taxes on what is left. So that the Dunn would farther in- crease the disparity between city and country taxation. plan “Among Mr. Dunn's other sugges- tions are: Substitution for township road ovj‘seers of one competent over seer in each town; all road taxes to be payal‘fle in money; provision for proper maintenance of roads after they have been improved; provision for making roads passable in winter as well as in summer.
