OFPICIAL COUNTY AND OITY FROCEEDINGS RITCHIE'S LOGIC SOUND In. calling attention to th tages given children in ‘certain parts of the state over others less fortunately situated, A. P. Ritchie, candidate for the nomination for state senator, drives home a fact that is arousing the serious en- deavor of the state’s foremost educators. * Closely harmonizing with the views as expressed by. Mr. Ritchie is the declaration and. plea made by Professor Harper Swift of the University of Min- nesota. “The Minnesota system of raising school revenue through district assessments,” says Professor Swift, “is ‘unscientific, antiquated, extravagant and thor-' oughly, unjust to the schools and those supplying the money. “A survey conducted by the state department of education ‘has shown that taxes in Minnesota rural districts - for.school purposes. vary from less than one-half of one mill to 117 mills per district. We must transfer the majority of the burden from the districts and | conntnes to the state. ' As long as we depend upon any "unit outside of the state our edu- cational revenue will be exceedingly unequal.” E. M. Phillips, state-inspector of high schools, urges boards of ‘éducation to consider the advisa- bility of taxes on business rather than personal property and-real estate for schools, such as some states have already put into effect. i “I. had just come from one school district in Northern Minnesota where the tax levy. is 60, mxlla said' Mr. Phillips, -“nine-tenths- of this tax, is, on farm lands. tion of land in t! of five hundred. dullaru. trict,‘who must pay, a t: He.can’t. do.it and I. hay -five per cent of the fa; later: than* 1 know. the owner, of one-qurter seeq;, are going to-be ucnfieed in some "sections of the state unless we can do something to- save.them.

With fine finesse, this woman would plage, the.po: tion:-of a: tyrant ‘who ‘ruthlessly denies liberty..to men who went to prison because they ' dared ‘to stand up for their principles. Like Mr. Debs, these men—or at.least enough of them to prove the point—went to their cells “flam- ing revolutionists,” which translated. into every-day - American language means that they were against the United" States and its “capitalism” and preach- ers_and professors and institutions ‘and the homes of contented workmen, and that while prating about peace and horrors. of war, they always are ready to sow, seeds of strife and discontent and to. rally right royally under the homb-makmg banner of anarchy.

CHARACTER ADVERTISING_ CHARACTER in- advertising IS desirable. ster, says that character is. the sum.of qualities, or features, by which a person, or thing, is distinguish- ed from others. Consequently, in-‘persons or- thmgs—advemsc- ments—character is instantly recognized ‘and’'in- variably DOES count big in the way. of sales. And typography plays an important, part in::char- acter building insofar, as. advertisements are:.con- cerned, yet the compositor should not be bgndl- capped by an insufficient amount of space in whxch to properly display: what you have to say. : White space of itself probnbly lends more to character in advertising than any one facwr‘{t TWILL he]p you sell more -goods.—*Joe”, -An\ixe svit §F—4t “We had a million-dn!lar rain, but only. about a dollar’s worth of it fell,” said our bright. office hoy.
