From a field of nine candidates, Min
nesota Republicans nominated Cover
nor j. A o. Preus to represent the
Party at the polls on Monday, July
16 When elected, he will, on qualify
ing, fill the unexpired term Of his best
friend, the late Senator Knute Nelson.
Governor Preus brings the voters
for their consideration an ability, an
education, a training and an expert
ence far beyond those possessed by any
other man now in Minnesota's public
life. After graduating from the Uni
versity, Mr.. Preus served as clerk
in the United States Senate. While
there he learned thoroughly the duties
and responsibilities of senator, the
senate's method Of procedure, the vari-
Gus departments at Washington, their
functions and their methods. Mime
sofa has no other senatorial candidate
who possesses this actual, personal
knowledge of the duties of United
States Senator.
AS Insurance Commissioner of Min
nesota, State Auditor and Governor,
Mr.. Preus has been in every section of
the state, talked with people in every
section, gained an intimate, personal,
practical knowledge of their work.
their problems, their needs, and the
resources of the state, it's industries
and its requirements. No other candi-
date for the senate has had this ex-
perience or now, has this knowledge.
His Record.
Governor Preus has made good in
every position of trust to which the
people have elected him. He served
the state expertly as Commissioner Of
Insurance and was then and is now
recognized throughout the United
States as an insurance authority.
AS State Auditor he mastered the
duties and details of the office and
thereby secured expert knowledge Of
the states public domain and fiscal
affairs.
AS Governor he has advocated CO.
operative marketing, secured legisla-
ton and approved laws tending to i'm
prove the condition of the farmer and
achieve once again normal business
conditions During his administration
for the first times in the states his
tory, the general revenue fund tax
levy was twice eliminated.
He sponsored the st. Lawrence wa
terway and is it's best known and
ablest exponent.
Our Opportunity.
With such a job open and such a
man available, we voters of Minnesota
can now send to the United States
Senate, man who from the first will
be recognized there as the ablest man
from the northwest To secure him
we must go to the polls on July 18th
and vote for ]. A. o. Preus for senator.
We must ask our friends by telephone
and by letter to do likewise, and the
work must be done now, today. The
special election date is July 16. After
that it will be too late.

THE JOB and man

The job of United States Senator Is
the most important at the disposal OF
the electors of Minnesota. OF the
three branches of government, con-
gress is the most powerful. OF the
two houses of congress, the senate is
invested with the greatest RESPONSE
bility. Each state has but two sena-
tors to express its will and 1t behooves
every commonwealth to elect to the
national senate it's ablest and best.
This job of senator is the one for
which the voters of Minnesota will
hire a man on Monday, July 18th.

Conversation over the radio tele-
phone has now reached the stage of
privacy. By means of a scram-
bling process in transmission and
an unscrambling process in recep-
ton, the spoken word over the cleo
tro magnetic wave is kept free from
outside lsteners-in. Success has
crowned the efforts of engineers of
the Bell system in perfecting such
apparatus, giving to radio phone
science a full degree of commercial
activity. The use of radio for
phone messages has long been con-
sidered unfeasible, due to the lack
of privacy. The new system con-

DANGER FROM ILL-ADVISED
LEGISLATION.

Fire insurance affects directly
the protection and credit of every
individual.
Representatives in legislatures
are prone to believe that every evil,
or every practice that they think
is evil, can be remedied by legisla-
ton. They wish to regulate by
statute personal and business con-
duct of every kind. Laws are piled
upon laws; proposals for state and
municipal ownership in various
fields, and other paternalistic meas
ures are common. In Arizona a
bill for a state cement plant and
another for a state fund insuring
state employees were introduced re-
Gently; in Colorado it was urged
that the state should write automo-
bile insurance; and a similar bill
was introduced in Massachusetts,,
where an effort was made to compel
insurance companies to invest forty
per cent of their premiums in dwell
ling houses.
In theory these measures are APP
pealing, but in practice they tend
to disturb business. Insurance is
the OASIS VI circuit. w HeH ndIl
has fire and his property is in
sured he wants his money at once.
Insurance reserves must be kept in
assets that can be turned into cash
Immediately. If forty per cent of
insurance companies funds were
loaned on dwellings, and a con-
f1agration should strike a COM
munity during period of Iepres-
sion, it would be impossible for the
companies to convert their mort
cages into cash with sufficient speed
to pay insurance claims as prompt
ly as would be desired.
This illustrates an ill-advised
measure which would undermine
the stability of a business that is
vital to the nation.

With lumber in the local market

why those who have been .ontem-

ahead. Every man who becomes

added home, the safety of the re-

paper and the same thing applies
right here in Ely.

Defenders of soaring tax rates
usually attempt to justify their posi-
tion by contending that the govern
ment is rendering a greater service
and taxpayers should therefore be
willing to pay for it. In many in
stances these extra services are un-
necessary or not worth the cost and
some are positively injurious to the
taxpayer. AS long as the govern
ment undertakes to regulate minute
ly the lives of individuals and the
conduct of every business great and
small, the tax burden will be ex-
orbitant, says the Houston Posi-.
