Sales Tax Unpopular

One hundred and seventy thousand Minnesota farmers
have voted 10 to against the enactment of general sales
tax and 20 to in of continuing the profits tax
which is indication of the popularity of the reforms
posed by the republican leaders at Washington.
Business of the naon through the National Chamber
of Commerce and similar organizations have endorsed the
proposed sales tax for which active propaganda has been
conducted by Otto Kahn of the banking firm of Kahn Leob
people.
The sales tax devised to suppant the profits tax
and would transfer the burden of taxation directly upon the
and relieve the profteer from the penalty
acted However there promises to be little revenue from
profits under prevailing economic conditions.
Tax reform perhaps the most important issue before

Gated after the armisce And the worst of it is that

permitted to evade its responsibilities by investments in

the wealthy axdodger will be in paradise for he can invest
his profits in non-taxabe bonds and escape taxation

Coolidge Says
Righteousness
Must Govern

Amherst, Mass, June 20.--Spir-
itual values are the only reliance
of the world in trying to meet
present problems, Viee-President
Calvin Coolidge said in an address
in opening exercises of the CEN
tennial celebration of Amherst col
lege today "The work of the
world will not be DONE" he said,
unless it is done from a motive of
righteousness"
''The world must look for some
thing more thansproperity in the
present situation" he said. "The
individual must look for something
more than wages and profits for
his compensation. Unless this sat
isfaction can be found by proceed
ing in the way of right and truth
and justice, the search for it will
fail. The material things of life
cannot stand alone. Unless they
are sustained by the spiritual
things of life, they are not sus-
tanned at all"

Growers VIII
Pay One Cent
For Picking

BY unanimous agreement, fruit
growers of the county who met
here Saturday to discuss the ques-
tion oflwages to pickers, decided
to pay one cent a pound for cher
ries and loganberries.
The question of whether a
bonus should be given to pickers
for a full seasons work was dis
cussed, but, did not meet the ap-
proval Of the majority, who felt
that to give half-cent bonus with
prices of cherries and loganberries
as low as 8 v cents pound, meant
to give up nearly SO per cent OF
the total receipts to the pickers. A
quarter cent bonus was favored by
some, but did not find support
among the growers whose acreage
is small.
While the half cent bonus met
defeat with the majority of the
$50 growers present, and the quar-
ter cent bonus also was showed un-
der, it will be up to the individual
growers whether his pickers will
receive either one, according to
the opinion of those present.

Cherries Suffer
Rain Damage

The Dalles. Or, June 2O--Heavy
but scattered rains over the or
chard country here today did some
damage to the cherry crop and fur
ther rain will undoubtedly ruin
the prospects for the splendid yield
of Royal Annes which shippers
have been preparing to send east
next week in carload lots. A small
amount of rain harms the Royal
Annes, causing them to discolor
and split.
Hundreds of pickers at work in
the orchards were called off to-
day, as the fruit cannot be packed
when damp.
