BAILEY. EXPLAINS
HIS WAR TAX BILL
Tells Those Who Want Larger Navy
To Build It Themselves
Introduces Measure
5 PER CENT TAX ON INCOME
Collections to be Used Exclusively for
The Aspirations Of War Depart
ment not A Freak Bill
5 PER CENT TAX ON INCOME

BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington, Dec. Ito those who
are Whooping it up for big navy
and urging the United States to keep
pace in the riotously extravagant con-
test OF the nations to build the big
gest dreadnaughts equipped with the
heaviest armor and the most murer-
Gus guns, Warren Worth Bailey, the
Pennsylvania congressman, says:
Build the navy yourselves! You have
the money to do it. But do not lay
on the people a heavy burden Of tax
alton to buy something the people do
not want"
Mr.. Bailey has introduced in the
House bill which embodies this idea
The bill would lay a super tax of 5
per cent on incomes of $4,000 or
more, the collections to be used er-
Clusively for the naval and other war
appropriations Of Congress. It is not,
as many will imagine, freak bill,
but one which is the product of the
sober thought and mature judgment
of an exceptionally clear-headed
thinker. The best exposition of Mr.
Bailey's plan is in his own words:
My proposition in brief is that the
naval establishment should he linn
tied in size only by the patriotism
of our millionaries, he said. "They
are the real big-navy boomers, and
they ought to be given a fair chance
to pay for what they so ardently de-
mand. We do not hesitate to draft
men from the factory and farm when
any fighting needs to be done. Our
millionaries rarely do any fighting.
Their patriotism takes the form US
ually Of loaning money at high rates
to the government in times Of deadly
peril. The poor do the figh ting 1t is
they who brave the leaden hail and
the hardly less fearful ordeals of the
camp in times of war.
II am offering our millionaries the
first real chance they have ever had
in this country to show the genuinen-
ness CT their patriotism. They should
seize it with JOY and should exert
their tremendous in fluence in favor
oe my bill. According to my calcula-

MONSTER CONVENTION
OF NORTH BOOSTERS
CALLED TO ORDER
With Nearly Every County Of the Organization Represen
ted Fourth Annual Convention Of Development
Association Convened this Morning
rance Gives Address of Welcome

1t is typical of the boosting spirit
of Bemidjf that after four years of
life the fourth annual convention of
the Northern Minnesota Development
association should be in progress in
this city today and tomorrow. Since
the organization of the association
in February 1910 wonderful progress
has been made, and at almost every
turn whereby advantages could be
gained for the orthern half of the
state, it has met with nothing but sue
cess. At the time of the birth of this
booster society it's motto was Reap
pOrtionment. It's members put their
shoulders to the wheel, and while in
1911 their desires were not filled,
the lack of justice in representation
was brought more and more to the
attention of the legislators OF the
southern districts, and this spring
success greeted their efforts. =
Reapportionment was not the only
aid to progress which was to be
sought by the association and time
and again has it's enfluence been
cit in advancing the welfare of the
northern section.
A Wilderness s... r.
-Four years ago the citizens of the
southern part of Minnesota regarded
this portion of the state much as a
country provided with nothing more
than an abundance of swamps and for
ests. This idea now has been entirely
eradicated, and the laws of Minneso-
ia during the last few years will show
that Northern Minnesota is being re-
cognized and it's true worth becoming
known to the world Bemidji well
comes the delegates to the convention
with open arms, bringing the repre-
sentatives back to the city of the as.
soc1ation's birth, showing it to be
just as complete with progress and
success as is the organization which
sprung up here four years ago.
AS had been predicted the fourth
annual convention of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
which it was called to order by c..
M. King, of Deer River, president,
this morning was one of the largest
If not the largest, assemblage which
had been in attendance at any pre-
vious meeting of the organization.
The city hall, which can accomo-
date mort than 200 was completely
filled when the head of the associa-
tion opened the convention. Without
a single exception, every county of
the organization was represented by
from five to twenty delegates.
Address of Welcome
Mr.. King called the convention to
order and Immediately introduced
Graham M. Torrance, county attorney
of Beltrami county, who in his ad-
dress of welcome emphasized that the
residents of Bemidji were proud to
have the members of the Northern
Minnesota Development Association
take possession of the city. r.. ~.
At the close of his speech Mr.. Tor

melody in which the familiar verse

committee caused as much interest
as did that of the reclamation Judge
G. w. Stanton was placed at the head
Of this committee, with seven 9TH
ers. OF these seven, three were Sc
lected to draw up the resolution
dealing with the swamp land issue
which has been causing an unlimited
amount of discussion since the pro-
test of President King and Secretary
Mackenzie was sent to the secretary
of the interior several weeks ago
While for a time it was believed that
this resolution would be put before
the convention before this evening, it
is probable that no such action will
be taken and that all of the resolu-
lions will be presented some time dur
ing the second day of the conven-
ton

extension work, addressed the conyen-
ton on "Co-operative Marketing.

Carter Complimented.
A. A. Carter, who had charge of
the hall decorating, was much COM
plimented because of the manner IN
which the hall was decorated. Signs
Of boost, get together, boost for Nor
them Minnesota, being placed in va
rious places. A booth displaying
grains and vegetables in this section,
was arranged. A feature of the dec
orations was an exhibit showing the
growth of corn since 1906, the growth
of that year being four feet in
height, in 1911, 9 feet, in 1913, II
feet, and with the indication mark
pointed to the sixteen-foot notch, for
1920 -r.- -9.
