St. Paul is not unique in having trouble in collecting personal taxes. It is merely more frank in publicity, in confessicn of the fact. It is this which moves the Pioneer Press to say: “The trouble is with the system. Students of the problems of taxation have no trouble in arriving at the conclusion that no equitable and just apportionment of the burden of the cost of government can be made through the levying of a tax on per- sonalty. Many cities have abandoned the system as impossible and others are engaged in studying better and more modern and more even systems.” It should move all good citizens to say: “How long, oh Lord, how long shall this be kept a state of perjurers and tax evaders through a tax system which all admit to be indefensible.” Nowhere does the personal tax assess- ment even pretend to be honest. No citizen pretends to list at legal value any of his personal holdings, or at any value, all of his personal hold- ings, says the Duluth News Tribune. The remedy is single tax. Not sin- gle tax in the raw, but by progressive approach. Every change made for years in the tax system has pointed this way. Why not look it squarely in the face? Why not adopt a fixed policy that will end evasion and false- hood, dodging-and lying; that will re- lease industry, thrift and enterprise from a tax penalty, and that will give to the labor of all some measure of compensation for the work they now do for the parasitic holdings of un- used land? \ Abolish the personal tax as a start in this right way and gradually re- duce the tax on‘realty’improvements of all kinds until ‘after a-period of years, this tax, too, would ‘disappear if not as to-all, then at least as to those subjects ‘that réached this-age limit, as they reached it. This “would not’ overburden land, while it would not only induce home owning and land improvement, but 1t would promote investment in ‘safe se- curities and in ‘all ‘the ‘vistble prop- erties that are'listed as ‘personalty.

Ohio Farmers Have Been Using Straw For Securing Stands With Success. |A number of years the best farmers in a certain portion of Ohio have been using straw to secure a stand of clover In a manner which is both unique and positively “astonishing in " its results. Independent of all-agricultural ‘coileges or . experiment ‘' stations, ‘some wide awake man-in thatcommunity: discov- ered;that by spreading 'straw.: on-his wheat in the. fall soon after sowing he could. the .following March .secure a stand of clover without fail. It all happened from the fact that some ‘keen' observer 'whose eyes - had been sharpened by years of ‘close study of the big-book of nature as'seen: be- tween the plow . handles-had noticed that where there was straw pretecting the thin, worn soils on the hillside the young clover plants would hold their own and develop, where on the same clay spots where there was no'straw or trash :the ‘young' plants would never grow. This led to the spreading of straw: wherever the: man wanted-clo- ver, and he noticed that year after year He seeured. stands of clover on fields with his wheat, where otherwise he ‘would have secured nothing. For twelve years he kept this up un- til one:day a man from the ‘experiment| station happened to discover his “dis:| covery” and gave this information to the rest of the world. It is scarcely ever known to fail and should be fol lowed by the man who has trouble get- ting a stand of clover.—Iowa Home:| stead. - summer. —Kansas' 4 5- £3 2 ¥ : * ¢l 2 * > * 2 * 2 ) = 3 i bl b ¥ $ ] H * >4 * - * - + - * - b New Hay Stacker. ‘A new idea for hay stackers has been invented by a young western farmer | by which the trouble from wind has been overcome. This stacker is fitted up with a “trip” apparatus which au- tomatically trips the hay to any por- tion of the stack, doing away to a great extent with the work with the hand fork. When the hay season is over the stacker may be ‘used as & sflq wagon, hauling the sflage from the flelds. Another feature of the new stacker is ithat it has four wheels and is so constructed-that: hay .can be loaded on the side of steep slopes without danger of upsetting.
