Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1921-06-17

The Duluth Herald. always a good
newspaper, has enlarged the size Of the
paper, changed the style Of makeup
and has added many new features
Much modern machinery was added to
care for the papers progress. "
The Benton County Commissioners
are to wait Ion Commissioner Babcock
to notify him should certain highway,
which they claim was promised them,
not be built. they would refuse the
appropriation for the hard surfaced
highway. Action of this kind by the
Benton county board would disturb the
idea Of continuous paving from the
twin cities to Little Falls. The state
would finally put in the road itself, but
that might be in two years or it might
be in five or more. It is to be hoped
that the parties to the misunderstand-
ing get down to common ground.
The Walker Pilot recently changed
hands, James E. Brown. disposing of
the paper to G. H. Samuelson and J.
w. E. Waddell. both Of Mapleton. H.
G. H0taling, editor of the Mapleton
Enterprise, and field secretary Of the
National Editorial association. will be
associated with them as contributing
editor. While the Herald regrets to
hear that Editor Brown will leave Min
nesota, it hopes for excellent success for
the new owners, especially as the editor,
G. H. Samuelson. began printing in
this office, and apparently his studious
application to the business was contin-
ued after he left. Little Falls.

4: These charges are made and thu
proof furnished in large BART by Re
publicans. Take. for instance, the
statement Of Senator Borah (Rep. Ida
ho,) in discussing the Army Supply
Bill. He said:
~ wish to ask our Republican
friends on this side of the Chamber
what are you going to do about the
question Of economy7 What is you1

. Us no provision anywhere for reducing
expenses or reducing taxes. There
is no programme to that effect. j
should like to know. in view of the con.
slant discussion of the question upon
the part Of Republican leaders that
the taxes are now unbearable and that

Senator King dem. Utah), inter.
rupted to say: -.- 49,
"The senior Senator from Utah (Mr.
Smoot (Rep.) stated that there would
be an increase. SO I say to my Republi-
can friend from Idaho that his party
not only will not reduce taxation and
not produce economies. but increase
taxation and will increase the expenses
