JULIUS A. SCIIMAHL
Compromise Plan
on Bonus Money
HOUSE REPUBLICANS BELIEVE
AN AGREEMENT POSSIBLE
BY ELIMINATING SALES
TAX FEATURE.

Republicans of the House Ways and
Means committee were confident that
action on the proposed relief legisia-
ton will be obtained in this session OF
Congress by a compromise on the
method of raising the S1,800,000,0 GOO
necessary. BY eliminating the tax
feature of the present program and
substituting, possibly, methods of tax
alton proposed by Representative
Frear Of Wisconsin, they expect suf-
ficient support to pass the measure.
The proposed measure would raise
$3.50 900 900 by a tax on final sales
and it is to this provision that many
Republicans object. Instead of this
provision, the committee will this
week consider the substitution of a
normal tax on corporation dividends,
a 35 per cent tax on stock dividends,
double tax on automobiles, and an
increase on admission taxes as propos-
ed by Mr.. Frear.

Allen IS Slipping
Over Entire Dist.
MOUNTAIN LAKE sVIEW" CASTS
a FEW BOUQUETS ALONG
HIS WAY.

! Attorney A. R. Allen of Fairmont is
in the midst of an. active campaign to
work himself into congress. Copies
Of his "platform" are being circulated
broadcast, and if he thinks he can pull
the wool over the eyes of the public
with the kind of trash he's singing,
he has another guess coming. He
firmly believes in strikes, military
training, labor, capital, the right Of
The farmer, and yet he appears to be
against all Of them. This smuggling
oneself into congress by attempting to
deceive the people. as to ones real atti-
tude must stop. This district has long
been poorly represented and the time
has come for a change for the better.
Allenism will not do. It's closely re-
lated to rowdyism. This time if never
before, we want man who runs on
his merits and abilities alone (and
not Son the fact that he prosecuted a
few alleged pro Huns during the war }

Keep Your Wool.

AS the result of wool pooling sys-
tenn being now arranged by your coun-
ty agent, farmers having wool for
sale are urged not to dispose of their
wool until the matter has been proper
ly arranged and sheep growers have
received more detailed information.
The plan is to have or A centers
throughout the county, where wool
may be stored until large enough
quantity to invite buyers from the
city Of Chicago. Under this plan it
will be possible to secure from 10 per
cent to 40 per cent more for wool, and
hence you are asked not to dispose of
your wool until the cooperation has
been completed.

Why The Gazette
Had to Increase its
Subscription Rates

Doubt that the government will be
able to accomplish great deal in re-
lieving the print paper shortage was
expressed by Frank P. Glass of Bir-
mingham, Ala, former president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association.
Mr.. Glass was one of the first wit
nesses before the senate commerce in
vestigation subcommittee. He ex-
planned that the shortage was world
wide.
Questioned as to the advisability of
congress attempting to reduce con-
sumption by limiting the size of pub
lications admitted to the mail, Mr..
Glass said he doubted the "justice and
feasibility" of such an undertaking.
On June 1st, 1920, the subscription
price of the Gazette will be $3.50 per
year, strictly in advance.
Today print paper is quoted at IL
cents per pound with strong probabii-
ties of going still higher. Consequent
ly we are forced to increase the price

Disastrous Wreck Near Lamberton
Kills Five; Twelve Are Badly Injured

gage cars, and the smoker of No. Sic.
Smoking Car Catches Fire.
The smoking car, the only wooden
car in the wreck, was telescoped and
began to burn. Feltz and Augustine,
dead, were riding in this car, but their
bodies were removed by passengers
before the flames reached them. The
bodies of Clark and Fuller, conductor
and engineer, respectively, of train
No. SIT, We're burned beyond recogni-
tion, but that of Larson, the fireman,
was thrown out of the wreekage and
far enough to one side to escape the
flames.
The spot where the trains met is on
an open track. To the east is curve
bat there are no distractions to the
view, according to those who are IA
miliar with the roadbed at that point.
Passengers Hurled From Berths.
Those hurt suffered only minor in
juries. Niesser, fireman on No. SIT,
was injured about the head and shout
ders when he jumped. Currey, who
jumped with him, was not hurt be-
yond being shaken. The passengers
suffered from bruises received when
thrown to the floor OF the car from
this place, showed that none had re-
ceived hurts of decidedly serious ma
ture. Enke was the only person whose
bones were broken, he having two
| fractured ribs.
| The man responsible for the wreck
on the Chicago and Northwestern
railway near Lamberton early this
morning in which five persons were
killed, is Operator Joseph Tauer of
Sanborn, according to Martin J. Boyle,
superintendent of the Minnesota divi-
sion of the road.
"The blame for the wreck said Mr..
Boyle, belongs to the operator at
Sanborn, Joseph Tauer. Tauer forgot
to give the engineer and conductor
of the westbound train orders to take
the siding at West Wye, about mile
west of Sanborn, where the eastbound
i train was to have passed. AS a result,
the westbound train continued on to-
ward Lamberton, and most regret
table wreck followed.
Tauer's home, according to sup
i erintendent Boyle is at Springfield

Honorary Membership
for Scenic City Band
EVERYBODY SHOULD JOIN AND
GET THE BENEFIT OF BE-
ING A MEMBER.

In the near future the Scenic City
Band intends to organize and issue
honorary membership tickets. 1t is
tickets as the holder will not only have
the honor of being member of the
band, but will entitle him to receive
other benefits.
For instance, if holder of one of
these tickets is elected to some office,
and if it is possible to dc SO, the
Scenic City Band serenades him on
election night Again if an honorary
member of the band gets married, he
is serenaded Some class to this, eh!
Mr.. and Mrs. Newly Wed will certain
y feel highly honored to know that the
band played at their wedding and
cause one to have a right smart idea
of their Importance and standing in
the community. And, again, on the
death of an honorary member the band
will head the funeral march and this
is very impressive affair.
In other communities the idea of is
suing honorary membership tickets
/ has worked out very successfully and
at only small cost TO the beneficiaries
Everybody considers it worth wEile TO
be member, and they feel that it y
an excellent way to help support the
band. In this way they become band
enthusiasts and band boosters. The
| larger the membership the more ac-
/ tive supporters the band will have.
/ If this idea can be successfully car
ried out in other places there is no
reason why it would not be practical
1 hara a flor II has haan in yooJ1a for
year or two, there seems to be no
difficulty in keeping up large honor
airy membership.

Freyer & Knapp have purchased the
building which they now occupy and
that Of the Asleson & Hillig Jewelry
Store and will take possession October

Bankers to Meet
June 9 and 10
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED BANKERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES WILL
BE IN ATTENDANCE.

Citizens of Redwood Falls and yicia-
ity are to be congratulated upon Sc
curing the Second District Group
Meeting of the Minnesota Bankers
Association to be held here June 9th
and 10th. The territory embraced in
the second district is the same as that
of the second Congressional District
and if the roads and weather are fav-
orable, Redwood Falls viii probably be
host to not less than two hundred
bankers and their families.
The officers of the Redwood County
Bankers Association met with the To-,
cal bankers last week and made tenta-
tive plans for the entertainment of the
visitors.
At Redwood Falls is located one of
the beautiful State Parks in Minneso-
ta and it is largely due to this, to-
gether with the fact that the Scenic
City has not been so honored in four
teen years, which led the Second Dis
trict Committee to choose this city as
their meeting point for this year. In
this connection, however, it is felt in
this community that large share of
the credit for bringing the meeting to
Redwood Falls is due to the efforts of
Mr.. A. @. Gimmestad, of Belview,
| President of the Redwood County
Bankers Association.
Invitations are being extended to
every member bank in the district to-
gether with representative banking
institutions just across the river in
the other district group. The officers
of the Second District are co-operat-
ing with the local bankers in getting
up program that will be interesting
1 not only to bankers but also to citi-
zens of Redwood Falls and community
as we'll.
While at the present a complete list
| Of the speakers is not available, it is
4 certain that one of the star attrac-
tions among the speakers will be Hon
orable NJ j.. Bowling, President of the
| Olivia State Bank, who needs no in
PRODUCTION. Another speaker comes
from the @Efoo9 Roads Committee il
4Ebehalf of the Babcock Amendment
This will probably be Mr.. Babcocl
himself, the author of the proposed
q law. His talk will be given the morn
q ing of the 10th and it is hoped tha
) the Armory will be crowded to heal
him. Every citizen especially Red
wood and Renville County farmers
who will be benefited more than an.
other class of people by the provision
of this amendment, is urged to b
present and hear what the speaker ha
!, to say.
ii The Armory has been secured fo
( the entire program, there will be

POPULATION OF
REDWOOD FALLS
is ABOUT 2,7O0

There is rumor to the effect that
the recent census taken of this city,
while not official, would indicate that
Redwood Falls now has population
of 2, 700 which is an increase over
previous figures. However, if. this CT
ty had the necessary housing capacity
the population would have been consid-
erably augmented.

For a time 1t seemed that the

However, the presence Of mind
OF Station Ohicer Charles Minor

four remained calm although they
