WHO .ANpRIST Is

I; St.. Cloud Times: The Times is in re-
ceipt Of letter from G. H: Calmers,
SECRETARY of the Charles M. Andrist
committee, in reply to our inquiry as
to |*Who is Professor Andrist demo:
*cratic candidate for governor. It is
stated that Mr.. Andrist graduated
from the State University IS years ago;
that at his class reunion this year, IS
being present, he was unanimously en-
dorsed for governor; that the class has
established headquarters and are con-
Quoting a dignifed campaign for Prof.
Andrist. This is all the information
given. There is nothing presented to
Show why Mr.. Andrist, who is I'M
known to the people Of Minnesota,
possesses any particular claims to
support over thousands OF others. He
is Undoubtedly a gentleman of high
character and excellent ability. But,
he is an untried quantity.
On the other hand P. M. Ringdal is
well known in the state. He has oc-
cupied high and responsible official
positions in which he has shown
marked ability, and answering in
tegrity. This being true, the Times
is very strongly: Of the opinion that
the. democrats Of: Minnesota should
select Mr.. Ringda1 as their candidate
for governor. p.
The Times states the case we'll. Mr..
Ringdal is not university man, al
though, like the majority of his fellow
citizens, he graduated from the
University Of Hard Knocks. He has a
creditable public record extending
back many years. There is no CON-
parison between the candidates as to
availability and fitness. It is not
necessary to depreciate Mr.. Andrist:
who is an estimable gentleman, but
it would hardly be wise, in time Of
crisis, to take chances with an I'M
known quantity. We do not know Of a
democratic paper that is not support

G. J. Buell., who has filed for the
democratic nomination for congress-

Twenty years ago he was advocating

GwzsHrness of statement, in many ways

The Herald hopes that two good
progressive democrats may be found to
file for representatives There is no way
Of knowing who will be the republican
nominee. They may be good men, and
they may not. If they are good men,
not tools Of any interest, not allied
with gang politics, so much the better.
Good citizens will feel safe in know
ing that whatever party wins, the repre-.
sentatives will be faithful If the
chosen nominees Of the republicans
prove, through their record and past
affiliations, to be untrustworthy, then
it is all the more important that the
people have opportunity to select faith
full representatives. The district has a
republican majority, it is true, but
majorities mean little in year like
this, when there is chaos in political
matters. The new vote which has come
into Crow Wing county, in the iron
regions, is tinctured largely with
socialism. Quite number call them
selves socialists who are really simply
protesting against the present order
Of things, and who have not really en-
braced the socialist philosophy. Present
such men with clean and progressive
candidates, and they will have strong
claims to their support. With the
situation mixed as it is, with the re-
publican party split in two, two good
democrats Of right principles, with an
honest legislative program, firm be-
levers in the Initiative and Referen-
dunn as the open door to needed reforms
can, we believe, be elected in this dis
trict- There are plenty Of men in Nor
rison county who meet the require
ments. The time should bring them
both.

The National Municipal League,

discussed problems Of municipal gov

the discussion on commission govern

She fact that the calibre Of city Of
icialS has not improved to any great
extent as it was hoped. for nearly
4hrec' quarters of the officials in the
cities studied had already held office

noticed in the efficiency of these same
officials brought about wholly by the

FOR DISTRICT JUDGE

St. Cloud Times: On Saturday,
Myron D. Taylor filed as a non-par
tisan candidate for reelection as judge
Of this judicial district. Under the
recently enacted law, the judiciary has
been taken out of partisan scram BILE
and contention, and citizens are left
obligation to: vote for the candidate
best fitted to fill these most responsible
of all position. This is wise and
meritorous law.
In this judicial district this plan
has been followed for a quarter Of
century. Although strongly republi-
can, the people have disregarded par
tisanship and have one republican
and one democratic judge. At the
last election Judge Nye (dem.) was
chosen over a republican, thus con-
tinuing the non-partisan record Of
the district.
Judge Taylor (rep.) is now non
partisan candidate, and is not alone
entitled to the support Of democrats
as we'll as republicans because of
the past history Of the district, but
especially because Of his eminent
qualifications, his learning as a law
yer, his clear perception, and his
sound Judgment. His record on the
bench has been second, in all that
constitutes a wise judge, to no other
member Of the Minnesota judiciary,
a fact which is recognized by bench
and bar.
Judge Taylor should and no doubt
will receive the unanimous support
of all parties for reelection.
We believe the Times has we'll stated
the case. Of course any lawyer who
cares to has right to file for district
judge, and were the occupant of the
bench incompetent it would be
patriotic duty to urge some good man
to do so. No such conditions exist.
Judge Taylor is an honest. upright and
able judge. His conscience and his
Judgment have been his guides on the
bench. whose best traditions he has
exemplifed. He deserves and will re-
ceive reelection.

 All of these facts are applicable to the public library, which is located in the heart of the business. district, at a point as accessible as the great de- partment stores and the other busi- ness houses of Bridgeport are.
 The Library has 33,O00 customers who use the circulating department. Including the reading room, it is pa- tronized by 50,O00 people annually.
 If the Library is removed from the center, say to Golden Hill, all of these people will be inconvenienced A site on Golden Hill will not be convenient to more than one line of cars. Thou sands would be compelled to wait for transfers to that line, in all sorts of weather, in rain, hail, snow, and July and August.

 The owners would say: This re- mOval will inconvenience our custom CTS. It will ruin us. They will trade with our rivalS.''
 The Library should stay where it is. The honor of Bridgeport de- mands it, the convenience of the pub- lie requires it.
 It is not enough that somebody wants the library site for private uses. It is not enough that somebody has property to sell for a new site for the library, or that somebody elSe wants to improve private property by taking public institution from a

 "This Congress is to-day presented with an opportunity to say wheth- CT the taxes necessary to support the government shall be levied on the con- stunning capacity of the great masses of the people, or whether a compara- lively small share of this burden shall be borne by great wealth, whose pos sessors, more than any one else, re- ceive the benefits of government"
 During the discussion of this bill, Congressman Madden, a Republican member from Illinois, asked MT. Un- derwood how the proposed bill would affect the possessors of idle wealth, such as Carnegie.
 Under what category he asked the Democratic chairman, "would you place the man who is simply the hold CT of idle wealth in corporations iron which he receives his income, such as Is the case of Andrew Carnegie?''
 ''I see from the trend of the gen. tleman's remarks replied MT. Un- derwood, that he desires to exempt Mr. Carnegie from paying this tax. The purpose of this bill is to reach men like MT. Carnegie, who to-day own an immense number of bonds, and are not paying taxes upon them"

PURPOSE OF INCOME TAX
Is to Place Part of Governmental Burden Upon Wealtll-HOw it
 Would Affect Carnegie
(By c. H. Tavenner.)

Washington, March 2S.-s'Up to the time of the income tax decision of the Supreme court, I had never heard that high tribunal criticised. It was recognized by all men as the final ar bitter of justice. As long as the gov ernment retained the power to tax wealth, and exercised that power, we did not hear the continual socialistic cry against the rich. But. when the Supreme court abandoned the line of
 more than 100 years, and notified the people of this country that great
 wealth was exempted from the power of government to levy taxes against
 1t, that marked the beginning of the
 unrest.''
 This is a sample of the logic brought to bear by Chairman Underwood, or the ways and means committee, in his
 speeches in favor of the excise income bill, which proposes to place a tax
 on incomes in excess of $5,000, in or
 der that the burden of Federal taxa
 wealthy, instead of wholly by the
 masses. In his speeches and debates
 on this bill Mr. Underwood demon strated that he is one of the ablest floor leaders Of the present generation
 in spite of the frequent assertions by Republicans during the last twelve years that the Democratic party lack ed parliamentary leaders, and that
 chaos would mark the House of Rep resentatives should the Democratic party obtain control. MT. Underwood
 has won the respect and confidence
 not only of the Democrats, but of the Republicans as we'll, and his recent speeches on the excise-income bill re- vealed a masterly knowledge of the subject, and presented his facts so forcefully that those who arose to champion the cause of special privileg-
 ed wealth, were overwhelmed.
 '"The time will never come," con- tinued Chairman Underwood, "when
 the toiling masses of the American
 people will be content to beaf the bur- den of taxation to support a govern
 ment that properly and justly pro- tects the great property interests of
 this country. when those property in terests are exempt from taxation, and do not have to bear their proportion ate share in the burden of government. In my judgment there is nothing this Congress can do that will go further toward quieting discontent in this lan6 than to return to the principles of our fathers, and place fair share of the burdens of taxation upon the great

 That for these men no provision is made in pensions. sick funds and cer- tainty for the future is crying dis grace to the United States.
 That these men should have to go on strike every two or three years for wages to enable them to keep body and soul together is the shame of the nation.
 It is a long lane that has no turn ing. A few more strikes, a few more preventable tragedies, few more in- dustries suspended for lack of coal, little more eXtortion in the form of excessive coal charges inflicted upon the American people, and the remedy proposed by more than one statesman in this country may become an ac tuality.
 ed States may be taken from the hands of their incompetent owners and the mines may be operated under national supervision and control for the safety of the workers, and the stability and protection of industry.
 The explosion in the Jed mine made 200 orphans. Eighty-five coffins have been ordered to contain the bod ies of the dead. It is asserted that the mine had not been sprinkled and that the coal dust had accumulated, making a condition favorable to an explosion.

WHY MAIN ST. PROPERTY IS WORTH MORE

It is we'll known that land in the center of a city-the business cen ter-is more desirable and more val uable than land elsewhere in a mu- nicipality. The buildings located on such land bring more rent than oth- CTS. Property on Main street between State street and Congress street is ex- ceedingly valuable. Property a block or even half a block either way can be had for a quarter or a third of the price.
 Why should this be so. HALF A BLOCK off from a business street isn't much, one will say.
 It'is a GOOD DEAL when the con- venience of a hundred thousand peo- pie for ten, twenty, or fifty years is considered.
 Half block extra multiplied by 365 days in the year multiplied by 100000 inhabitants is quite a figure.
 It is so much of figure that land in the business section is worth three pr four times as much as IdnQ any where else.
 Bridgeport has several great de- partment stores. They are in the business center, on the most conven- lent sites. They occupy valuable prop srty, and pay enormous rentals.
 Such locations are absolutely es- sential to the continuance of their business. It is exceedingly doubtful If one of these great stores could move . block out of the business center and hold its own with it's competitors. It certainly could not move two blocks.
 The thousands of customers of such a store would not be willing to be in- convenienced by the extra walk of two blocks. going. and coming, which would make four blocks.
 5 Even location on a car line would not make the difference. The incon-

No exception can be taken to May or wilson's advice to the several boards. He tells the health depart ment to clean up door yards. The department has been doing 1t suc- cessfully for several years now. He thinks there should be plenty of changes in the charter and ordipan- ces. So has every other mayor. The charter is now a hodge podge. He tells the police they must keep the city clean morally. Every other mayor has said the same thing to the police The same old places are run- ming at the same old stand. He ad- vises the Board of Education to work with the Board of Contract and Sup ply. which has not yet shown its util- ity. unless it is willing to shoulder responsibility for the gasoline con- tract which was given to the Standard Ou company without competition.
