Political Comment
We Know Who Pays.

Wadena PioneerJournal: A few
years since politicians delighted to
argue the question "who pays the
tax" when discussing the merits and
dement's of the. protective tariff. AT
that time the Democrats contendsd
that we paid the tax and the Repub-
icans insisted that it was the foreign
er. Today there is no ground for ar
gument. Since the era of Wilson
Democracy taxes have been climbing
higher and higher and multiplying in
various ways. The tariff has been
practically wiped out on many articles
and instead of the revenue thus gain
ed we have resorted to raising money
by the imposition of the income tax,
and other corporation tax all of which
is paid at home. Today we know who
pays the tax, and we know the for
.eigner has nothing to do with it.
Good Government Eliminated

beat Eberhart" is their. explanation.
They do not say good government is
an issue. Nobody denies that Eber-
hart has given the state good gov
eminent. What is at issue is the
desire to wedge Eberhart out Of the
governorship, and so far every lead

wants Eberhart's job. Under ordi-
nary circumstances Minnesota would
get mad at the whole shebang. But

EURS and pushes and other warmth
i conserving fabrics help to make it
possible for the devotee of the touring
car to face ordinary winter weather
and keep comfortable. Coats with
broad collars of fur that can be fas-
tened up close about the neck, caps

Here are two caps that are thor
oughly practical and at the same time
have the compelling virtue of being
good-looking. They are modelled after
the jaunty jockey-cap type, but have
full, soft crowns and can be pulled
down over the ears.
In each of them the veil is held in
place by narrow straps made of the
same material as the cap. These
straps are sewed at one end to the
cap and fasten at the other with
snap fasteners. This allows the veil
to be brought down over the face and
wound about the throat, or to be fas.
tened up off the face or wholly de.
tached.
The cap at the left has a stiff visor
covered with cloth and lined with silk.
