THREE PARTIES
FOR REDUCTION
TAX DECREASE TO BE DEMAND
ED In ALL PLATFORMS ADOPT
ED AT PIERRE MEETING.

Pierre, Dec. THAT reduction of
taxes will be the big demand of all
the platforms adopted by the various
parties and factions here in the pro-
posal meetings today is the one GER
tain thing as members of the propos-
al committees come in from all parts
of the state. High taxes" buga-
boo in every campaign since state
hood, and heretofore the cry of the
"outs" at the "ins," has become a
universal demand.
The republicans will endorse the
efficiency survey inaugurated by the
government in an effort to find in
what ways state departments and
commissions may best be combined
and reduced and still retain eff
cheney in state government.
They will point out that the chief
taxation costs are local, and will en-
phasiZe the fact that state taxes this
Nyear are lower by $250,000 than they
were year ago. Last year they were
two mills and this year 1.76. They
will call upon the legislature to cease
passing laws opening the doors to
greater local expenditures, and may
condemn some of those laws already
enacted. They are not expected to
give their endorsement to any propo-
sition of any idealistic nature which,
possibly desirable in it's ends, will
mean appropriations or bond issues
now.
The democratic platform will make
it's traditional call for the abolition
of commissions and departments, on
the assumption that there are some
which are unnecessary to the states
government They promise to devote
most of their attention to the state
tax problem, working on the theory
that if state taxes are cut down the
school districts and municipalities,
and the counties, will take their cue
from the state and cut as well.
The nonpartisan league platform
is not being much discussed. but ac-
eording to those who claim to know
will make a simultaneous demand
for more state-owned industries and
for reduced taxes.
There are individual propositions
here as well. c. ]. Morris, proposal
man from Minnehaha and former
speaker of the house, has a set OF
resolutions he will present to repub-
lican proposalmen demanding dras-
tic cuts in state expense, and r. O..
Richards, of Huron, has tentative
republican minority platform, in
which he calls for doing away with
present state productive enterprise
and for general retrenchment.

Hail Warrants
Total $685., ,267

Pierre, Dec. Five thousand six
hundred hail insurance warrants, rep
resentfng total of $S35,267 in paid
claims having been mailed out claims
having been mailed out since October
Is by the state hail insurance de-
partment according to statement
by d. e. Walker, deputy in charge
of the department. This is daily
average payment of $4,000.
There are about 1,700 claims still
in the department which are being
investigated and paid as fast as ap-
proved. Most of these claims are fac
ulty, either insurance being claimed
on fields that were exempted or the
legal descriptions are incorrect.
The department expects to handle
approximately 1000 more claims this
year than in 1920.

MILITARY GUARD
PACKING PLANTS
SOUTH ST. PAUL STRIKERS ARE
In AN UGLY MOOD.

st. Paul, Dec. z. - Additional
guardsmen were called out early to-
day when striking packing plant en-
ployes at South st. Paul became
threatening. Three hundred st. Paul
guardsmen were sent to the Swift
and Armour plants at 3 o'clock this
morning. They announced picket lin
es would be kept open today. The
strikers replied that the picket lines
would be maintained despite the
troops. Adjutant General Rhinow la
ter ordered out guard companies
from Redwing and Faribault, the st.
Paul Aero squadron and 100 men of
the Minneapolis field artillery. They
were to arrive before noon. Machine
guns were mounted at the entrance
to the Swift plant. Guardsmen were
ordered not to fire unless absolutely
necessary, but to shoot to kill If the
emergency arises. Nearly 1900 strik-
ers were still on picket duty at 10
o'clock.

RUM RUNNING
IS HAZARDOUS
RISKS, WITH ONLY SMALL
RETURNS, HELP CHECK
BOOTLEGGERS IN NORTH
DAKOTA.

Bismarck, Dec. rum running,
illegal manufacture of liquor and
violations of the national prohibition
act generally are on the wane in
North Dakota, according to Lane Mo-
loney, field division head of the fed
eral forces in this state.
Several factors have contributed
to drive from the state men who earn
their livelihood by smuggling whisky
across the Canadian border, chief
among them being the close cooper
alton of federal, state and county
authorities to break up the illicit
traffic, Moloney said. But the run
ners have not abandoned their oper-
ations, merely shifted to territory
less dangerous to their liberty and
life.
Another fact that has acted as a de
terrent on ambitious runners, at
tracted by mythical high returns, he
said, has been the high mortality
rate among their ranks, six having
been killed in gun fights with Off
cials and several others wounded m
the course of the last year. The fed
eral forces have not suffered in this
respect, he said.
Most of the runners, he said, have
transferred their operations from
North Dakota to Montana and the
Red River valley in Minnesota, while
others have shifted to running alco-
hol between Chicago and st. Paul
and from Louisville, KY, to points
north.
sThen, too, many of the runners
have left the game. voluntarily or
otherwise" Moloney said. ''Some of
them have realized that the return is
too small compared with the risk and
the amount of money they must in
vest.
"For every man who has made his
fortune in this illegal business 100
others have lost all they had, and
some of them are in addition serv-
ing sentences in prison. Others who
engaged officials in gun fights have
recovered only after long sieges in
hospitals and will be crippled for the
rest of their lives. The game doesn't
pay and some of the more intellig-
ent runners are beginning to find 1t
out"
Moloney cited what he called on
ly the greater costs" which runner
must consider before starting oper-
ations.
Say a man in Omaha is going to
start running whisky" he said. He
buys a motorcar for $4,000, then in
Canada he gets 80 cases of whisky
for $50 a case, an investment of So
600, not counting his time and hard
ships and those of his partner" and
the necessary expenses of the trip,
which are heavy. Then he must fig
ure a $500 fine, which is the least
punishment, if caught, and probably
$1,000 for attorneys fees to fight
| the case.
If he gets through he probably can
sell his load of whisky for $4,000
j Obviously the returns to be had from
such following have been grossly
overrated."

AGAINST SOLDIERS
BONUS BILL
SECRETARY MELLON RENEWES
HIS OPPOSITION In REPORT.

Washington, Dec. THE treasury
department is still opposed to the
passage of the soldier bonus bill,
secretary of the treasury Mellon to-
day informed congress in his annual
report. Conditions, he said, have not
changed since President Harding
went before the senate and induced 1T
to send the bonus bill back to the
finance committee. Even without any
soldier bonus or adjusted compensa-
tion, estimates show that the federal
government will spend in the fiscal
year 1922 and again in the fiscal
year 1923 about $450,000,000 year
for the relief of veterans of the late
war. Mellon said he also was clearly
dissatisfied with the way congress
revised the revenue laws.

CIVIL WAR VETS

closing the annual parade of the
fifty fifth encampment.
Through streets packed with
flag-waving, shouting citizens the
grand army paraded. Tonight the
veterans sought the rest places pro-
vided throughout the downtown
district, but today they marched
jauntily, tramping in step with the
music of war drums and fife.
Hundreds of automobiles were
ready for those who might be I'M
able to march, but they were few
who made use of the machines I'M
less totally disabled.
The cheering started with the
approach of the Old Guard at the
head of the column. These veter-
ans marched with equipment and
rifles, keeping orderly files. The
Purdue University band followed
the Old Guard and swung into
place. Then came the veterans in
six divisions.
Preceding the parade the G, A.
