FURNISHED BOND OF AMITY

governor BYRNE
DELIVERS A CAMPAIGN ADDRESS
AT WAKONDA.

Wakonda, Oct. 19.-Gov. Byrne
gave a campaign address and was
greeted by a large and friendly au-
dience. The governor emphasized
his personal support of the entire re-
publican ticket and deplored the mis-
representations being made against
his W attitudes and policies in the
transaction of state business. He de-
clared that his entire personal record
in political affairs shows a consistent
effort to regulate and control corpo-
rations and minimize their influences
on state control. He cited the big in
crease in taxation imposed against
the Homestake Mining company as
ample refutation of any insinuations
that he had made any deals or COM
binations with that concern. He said
in part on the taxation question:
"Since l have been in public life
have been instrumental through the
passage of various laws, in securing
| material reduction in freight and pas
senger rates and preventing increases
in others, any one of which would
amount to more to the people of the
state than the entire state tax for the
year.
For some time now we have had
the lowest express rates ever enforced
in any part of the United States. In
fact, people in some of the surround
ing states are at the present time
bringing an action asking that our
rates be raised, on the ground that
they are so low as to amount to dis
elimination. The first reduction was
under a law which / introduced in the
legislature in 1909, reducing the
rates 20 per cent. After this had
of railroad commissioners made the
sweeping order putting in force the
present very low rates.
THE taxation provisions of our
constitution should be changed. The
present provision requiring the as
sessment of all classes of real and
personal property on exactly the same
basis, including the most specific way
moneys and credits, is simply impos-
sible of enforcement. 1t is now agreed
by all students of the question that
this provision, commonly known as
the general personal property tax
has broken down and failed.
Upon my recommendation the
last legislature submitted to the vote
of the people a proposition for calling
a convention to revise the constitu-
ton. If this carries, the people car
put into the constitution any tax pro-
| vision they see fit.
~ repeat here what l have often
| publicly said: favor ar income tas
| to take the place of part, and ulti-
mately. perhaps. all of the personal
property tax.
"Such tax. however, should be
| properly graduated on the progress.
| sive principle, and make proper ex.
| emption of small incomes"

CHURCHES
DELEGATES IN CONFERENCE
DIFFER ON PLANS OF PRO
POSED UNION.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 19.-The discus
sion of the important question of
consolidating the three large Nor
wegian Lutheran church bodies of
the United States, which for years
| past have maintained separate church
organizations, now occupies the
| greater part of the sessions of the
triennial convention of the Norwegian
Synod Lutheran churches of America,
now in session in Sioux Falls.
1t is probable that because of the
importance of this question one or
two days more of the time of the con
vention will be devoted to the dis
cussion. AS there is a wide differ
ence of opinion among the delegates
to the convention as to detail Of the
proposed union the debate prelimi-
nary to a vote on the question can
not be limited for fear of charges that
attempts were being made to apply
gag rule.
DR.. Stub, president of the Norwe-
gian Synod Lutheran church of Amer
lea, in his triennial addresses to the
convention, declared that an organic
union must necessarily follow unity
of faith. He made a strong appeal
for the union of the three large Nor
wegian Lutheran church bodies, as
sorting that the synod to be true to
it's faith must show the world that
the Norwegian Lutherans are no
longer divided in faith or ~organiza-
ton.
The matter of church union was
discussed at some length. The his
tory of the movement was reviewed
from its beginning in 1905, showing
the progress from year to year. 1t
was pointed out that last years sy-
nodical resolution had been adopted
by $50 of the congregations of the
synod, while twenty-seven congrega-
tons had rejected it. Many cOngre-
cations, President Stub stated, had
not expressed themselves concerning
the question, but are looked Upon as
fayoring it.
The speaker argued that there is
no doctrinal differences existing be-
tween the synod and the united
church; that these had all been clear
ed up by the committees and by him
self and DR.. Kildal. On the other
hand, he cited Prof. August Pieper
of the Wisconsin synod to show that
there exists a difference between the
| synod and the German Lutheran
| Wisconsin synod. The president
| challenged anyone to split the synod
| because of doctrinal differences
which some contend still exist. The
responsibility for such action, he de
| clared, would rest heavily upon the
| persons taking such action. The
| adoption of the proposed union pro.
gram was earnestly urged by Presi
| dent Stub.
The convention elected a commit,
/ tee of five to review the report oil
the president and report on it. Rev
John Halverson of Rockdale, Wis.
was chosen chairman of this specia.
committee. The convention by an al
most unanimous vote adopted a reso-
luton declaring its confidence in
President Stub.

ton ii was discovered that the wheel
had passed over a loaded shotgun
shell in such a that the chain
had struck the cap and shell was ex-

Store
Libraries Are Used
AtMotherS' Meeting

Establishment of branch Libraries
in all department stores for the use
of employees was advocated. by Miss
Katherine oWoten librarian Of the
Carnegie Library in an address be-
fore the Georgia branch of the Ma
tional Congress of Mothers at the
Piedmont Hotel Saturday.
Miss Wooten urged that efforts be
made by the congress to induce man
ayers of department stores to install
the branch libraries. Girls desire to
read during their noon hour, and
many of them will either grab book
or else go out and buy dish of ice
cream. The book is much better for
the girl" said Miss Wooten.
The Carnegie libraries, she said,
will cooperate with all stores to es-
tablish such branches.

er of Athens, gave a snort talk on
