St. Paul, April 18-Minnesota is
the first state to adopt bertillon
system for Identification of fine dairy
cattle. The man who evolved the sys-
tenn, which will save purebred cattle
men millions of dollars, is drawing a
meager salary. Identification is made
positive by taking nose prints.
: William E.. Peterson, superinten-
dent of the office for testing dairy
cattle in Minnesota and assistant pro-
lessor of Dairy Husbandry at the Uni
versity Farm school, worked out the
system. He began experimenting af-
ter conference with O.. III. Baker of
New York, chief Of the Registry of
Merit of the American Jersey Cattle
club.
More than one thousand pure dairy
cattle in the state have been print
ed' and positively identified with
their records in the state files.
''In the past some breeders practice
fraud by submitting similar animals
in the testing so as to make big rec
ord. This has been made impossible
by. the nose print system, The system
is positive. No two of the one thous-
and or more noses are nyfhing alike.

Campaign Will Indicate
judgment on Harding
(By United Press)

Columbus, Ohio, April 1S-Ohio
will be called on, in the coming con-
gressional campaign, to pass judg-
ment on its favored son-President
Harding.
Party leaders, picking Ohio for the
political battle-ground, agree that the
vote on congressman, senator and
governor will determine the degree
of popular approval in Ohio of the
Harding administration. .,..
Further interest in the situation is
caused by the possibility that, former
Governor James M. Cox, defeated by
Harding for the presidency, will take
the stump in Chic and Massachusetts.
Democrats, hoping for turn
against the Republican sway in Ohio.
are confident they will succeed in
cutting materially the large plurality
piled up in November, 1920, and car
ry into office at least part of their
congressional and state tickets.
They declare that Marion, Prcsi-
dent Harding's home town, repu-
dated his administration in the
elections last November, when a
Democratic mayor replaced the Re-
publican incumbent. They also point
to the large gains made throughout
the state in electing Democratic

Writer Declares Entire Income
Tax Law Must Be Revised
to Remedy Situation
Editors Note-This is the
second of a series of arti-.

The third will appear tomor-

By Bruce Bliven

New York, April 18-In an arti-
,cle published in this paper yesterday
the writer revealed the existence in
the United States at the present time
of what is probably the most appal-
ing income tax fraud in all history.
He, quoted government statistics,
and the deductions made from them
>by Jason Rogers, publisher of the
New York Globe, to show that 49,
100000 to 2O,O00,000 wage earners
in the United States broke the law
by failing to make income tax returns
i'm the year 1919, the latest for which
we have any complete figures. And
apparently the same situation prevail
ed every other year since the federal
tax law went into effect.
These millions of tax dodgers, per-
haps aided in part by some of the
5 5000 who did file income tax re-
turns, have concealed from the gov
'ernment more than $4,000, $1,000
of our national income, which is prob

has ever attended an affair of SIM
liar nature at the new armory, was
present at the Easter Monday dance
Staged by the Bemidji Volunteer
Fire Department Monday evening
and apparently all those present had
very enjoyable time. Music was
furnished by the Jazzad ores of Red
Lake Falls and it proved to be quite
satisfactory. The armory was taste
fully decorated for the occasion,
streamers adding much to the ap-
pearance Of the hall. The orchestra
was provided specially constructed
stage to one side of the hall, the
stage also being neatly decorated.
The firemen wish to thank all those
who assisted in making this event
such a big success. The proceeds are
to be used to help defray the ex-
penses of entertaining the state con-
vention Of firemen here next year.
The next big public dance OF the
season, which promises to be real
social event, is that planned by the
Ralph Oracle post of the American
Legion to be held on Monday eve
ming, May !. The committee in
charge assures something entirely
out Of the ordinary in the line OF
public dances and arrangements are
being made to accommodate an eX-
ceptionally large attendance.

TWO new S0USAPH0NES
add TO JUVENILE BAND

The Bemidji Juvenile band now
possesses what very few organized
bands have in the line Of musical in
struments, namely, two Sousaphones,
bass horns Of the latest and finest
type manufactured. In announcing
this purchase by the city :, for the
band, Director G. O. Riggs states
that remarkably low price was Sc
cured in order to introduce these in
struments into this section OF the
state. They were purchased from
the Harry B. Jay Co. of Chicago and
are valued at $500 each. These sill
ver-plated instruments, the largest
horns being manufactured, will add
materially to the band, both from
musical standpoint and appearance.
These horns are to be played by
Barney Hakkerup and Alfred Gaines,
both experienced members OF me
band. Mr.. Riggs states that very
few musical organizations boast two
such instruments, although there are
a large number Of bands which have
one. The size Of these instruments
and their appearance has caused
con~idcrable comment and added in
tcrcSt in the organization.

TWO CHINESE MAY Be
FIRST TO DIE BY GAS
Nevada May Soon Test Out
New Method of Carrying
Out Death Penalty
(By United Pressl

Carson City, Nevada, April 18--
Making death Of condemned man
"painless mentally as well as physi-
cally" is the underlying purpose of
the Nevada law, making execution by
means Of lethal gas the legal mode
of carrying out the death penalty in
Nevada.
That was the declaration of Assem-
blyman James Byers to the United
Press in explaining what the trainers
of the measure had in mind when they
caused its passage by the last session
f the Nevada legislature. The bill was
fathered by Assemblyman Harry
Bartlett Of Elko, Nevada, with whom
Byers collaborated.
1T was the intention Of the trainers
of the BILL" Byers said, chat single
condemned celP should be constructed
i'm row of regular cells at the prison.
with this cell pipes carrying the
lethal gas would be connected. The
gas would be turned on by one of
three valves, two Of which would be
blind in order that none Of the three
exec utioners who know who actual
ly turned the valve Which meant
death to the prisoner.
"The prisoner under the death SEN
,tence would be placed in the con
demned cell, which to all outward
appearances would differ little from
the othed cells.
'"He would not be informed def
nitely when he was to die The gas
would be turned on at an unexpect-
ed moment and with no witness watch
ing him in his death throes~"
Just when, if ever, the law VIII be
carried out for the first time. remain
ed uncertain. Hughie Sing and Gee
Jan, Chinese tongmen. convicted Of
murder are under sentence to, death
by lethal gas. Their case, however,
has been appealed to the state su-
preme court which will be called upon
to rule upon the constitutionality of
the law which has been attacked on
.hc grounds that it embodes a cruel
and unusual means of punishment.
