May Correct Error.
1T was a calamity to the plain
common people Of America when, in
1916, the people of Minnesota sub
stituted Frank B. Kellogg for Nose
Clapp, your former United States
senator who was a rugged repre-
sentative Of the people. The coming
primaries are affording the first op-
portunity for the voters of Minnesota
to correct that error. It is fervently
hoped that the men and women of
Minnesota will see to it. on June 20,
that they name some man or some
woman that can be depended upon
to patrioticaaly maintain the splen-
did national reputation to which
Minnesota is entitled.
1T Is unreasonable to believe that
the people Of Minnesota will indorse
Newberryism or sale Of seats in the
United States senate to the highest
bidder. Kellogg championed New
berry even after. he confessed that
1t cost $1s5,000 to seat him.

Income Tax Law.
Excess profits tax on incomes of
profiteers: The dominant element in
this congress has expended much
effort to shield big business and
profiteers from paying equitable
taxes on vast incomes. After the

it's clauses in the new income tax
bill, a few progressive senators
fought valiantly to retain taxes on
excess profits. Amendments were Of
