delegate convention at Linneus
last Monday afternoon with good
representation present when Chair
man Banning called to order. j.
v. Martin Of Brookfeld was chair
man and q. e. Lambert, secretary.
There was no long speech making
but the convention got down to
business at once. On roll call
committees on credentials and
and resolutions we've appointed.
The credentials committee report
ed no contests and the resolutions
reported as follows:
We, Republicans Of Linn county
in convention assembled, as our
first declaration in this convention,
express our pride in our citizen
ship of county whose young men
responded SO promptly to the call
of our country when summoned to
take part in the World War. No
county has prouder record. We
rejoice with those whose sons re-
turned and mourn with those
whose sous gave up their lives in
the good cause. Linn county is
proud of her soldier boys.
We are Americans and are OPP
posed to this country giving its
assent to the provisions Of any
treaty or league by which the
powers and privileges of this
nation, under the constitution
shall be in any measure impaired
or abridged. The covenant of the
league of nations, if ratified by
this country, must be made so
plain that there can be no question
of interference on the part of any
foreign power league, or any
power on earth to say what this
nation ofours shall or shall not do.
We demand that the strictast
economy consistent with the public
welfare and good government be
exercised in the conduct of state
and county affairs, and hold that
if this be done there will be fewer
calls for increased assessments and
increased taxes.
Regardless of political afilia-
tions, we welcome as an act of
long delayed justice the conferring
of the right of suffrage on the
women of the land.
We take pride in the efficient,
capable and business like admin
istration of the Office of State
Auditor on the part of George
aackmaun, a republican state
official.
And finally we point with pride
to the especially fine record in
office of the present republican
United States Senator. Selden P.
Spencer, and especially endorse
his course with reference TO the
league of nations as proposed by
President Wilson.
There has never been a time in
history of the country when wise
and farseeing legislation was more
imperatively needed than at the
present time. We lold that the
past record of the republican party
is sufficient guarantee of such
legislation, if it is placed in power.

and blameless life, we extend to

WATCH CHANGES IN INCOME
TAX STATUS Is WARNING

Internal revenue officials point out
that there are millions of persons this
year who must consider their income
TAX liability from a new angle, owing
TO the changes wrought during 1919
by births, deaths and marriages in
many families.
Babies have been added to the fam
lily circles. each of whom brings an
added exemption of 5000 on the par
cnts income tax return. On the other
hand, many boys and girls became
self-supporting and now form a new
crop of income taxpayers. Also, death
has removed many dependents and
many of the breadwinners themselves.
