"steamed like we might of nearby journals wits itself of the fact that the Labor News is unfortunate in it's n depreciation of the two bills Mayhap tis but have our ideas despite the decision of the congressional committee of Tuesday in which it held for the Mellon 25 per cent surtax.
 That 25 per cent surtax even men who pay it in Connecticut admit unfair to the working they should pay The Journal Courier says The Labor News didn't get Mr. Mellon and his bill right and that the Mellon plan instead of relieving the wealthy man will be to the benefit of the worker in the field and the factory How come?
 The Labor News does not admit it is dense pared with the Journal Couriers paid editors and ciates. The Labor News read and interpret we'll the editors of the Courier and still stick to the claim that between the Mellon and the Garner tax reduction bills in Congress there question but that the Garner democratic bill may be Is the better 1t places the burden of taxation where it belongs and takes it off the who earns his income in the paying wage by the of his brow and that bill should be passed
 It nicely to time for the Journal Courier to answer the Labor News in that the congressional mittee having the tax bill in hand decides report bill carrying 25 per cent. surtax Mellon had decreed and made its decision Tuesday. It broadcasted it at the time the Courier came back at the Labor News.
 There will perhaps not be a minority report on the bill because the former committee (under the rues) had to report by Monday but when that report gets the floor of Congress what should be done to would be almost melting the indicate here.
 Even Mellon himself doesn't believe it pass. To that end on Wednesday he caused democratic con gressman from the south to start something toward mak ing the European countries pay back what they I totals billions and Mellon hopes make a smoke of that show the worker where if he lets the high brow millionaire alone he perhaps get back of what he earned and paid out to the in taxes direct and indirect to pay the interest Wall street foreign bonds.
 Perhaps Mr. Mellon explain to the printers in shops and in the shop of the Journal why he should pay $50 to O out of his yearly wage to support Mr. Melons millions while MT.

 If it Is that 'Unfortunate' as the Journal Courier says interpretation of the two bills then indeed unfortunate But the cards the table and this time "deuces to be runnin wild
 The Labor News realizes as the Journal Courier azes, that the called Garner bill is more real Garner bill than is Melons plan real Mellon plan. But the Labor News contends and will contend until and after Congress decides that of the two the Garner bill should be passed preference to that of the to be courteous) suggestion of the Wall street distilled tary of the treasury.

ton that the agricultural classes are.
This is the more significant because
Mr.. Sageng is himself a farmer de-
pendent solely upon his farm for fin
ancial support. He spoke briefly on
the impossibility of real tax reduc-
ton until citizens reduced their de-
sires, contending chat the National
Government is the worst offender in
the matter of expenditure and that a
reformation must begin from Wash
ington. He also spoke of the neces-
sity of rehabilitating the European
markets as the most effective way of
raising the price of agricultural pro-
ducts. His talk was simple, direct,
free from any semblance of campaign
promises and it's common sense made
a direct appeal to the intelligence OF
the men and women in his audience.
Sen. Sletten advocated the usual
public ownership of his party plat
form, made plea for free speech as
a background for his word of SYM
patty for the political prisoners, and
spoke against further ditching opera
tions. Mr.. Swanjord talked some
what at length and very oratorically
on the cleansing power women have
in politics and on the underlying pre-
cepts of the Farmer-Labor. Mr..
Register is making his campaign on a
promised reduction of seven dollars a
ton for coal and ten cents gallon
for gas, assuming that if made gov
ernor he will find it possible to buy
these commodities in wholesale lots.

Women for Sageng

Mrs. w. w. Remington Of Minnea-
polls, one of the leading women of the
state in matters political, is strong
for Ole Sageng, the Republican cam
didate for the United States Senate.
Mrs Remington and other prominent
women of the Twin Cities have lately
interested themselves in campaign
work for Mr.. Sageng and women from
all other sections of the state have
proffered their aid to this campaign.
The result is that a volunteer COM
mittee of more than a hundred We
men has been formed. Mrs. c. V.
Everett, Mrs. A. D. McRae and Mrs.
Bess M. Wilson are the Redwood Falls
members of the committee.
At meeting held at Linstrom last
Saturday evening Mrs. Remington
said:
"Mr. Sageng's candidacy is not bas-
ed on promises, but on the experience
for a practical legislator of Is years
service, during which he has fought
for every progressive measure" lie
has been pioneer on every great
moral issue, as his record will disclose.
"Mr. Sageng is farmer. He has

years and raised and supported sever:
children. The problems that face ag-
riculture today are not theory but fact
to him. He can be trusted perhaps
better than any other candidate to
promote and actively support such
sound measures as may give promise
of real help to the farmer The far
mer himself is the friend Of the farm
er.
"Mr. Sageng's long record in TIE
cause Of prohibition, child welfare
public health and public morals insurei
to the people of Minnesota and of the
nation a profound devotion to every
worthy cause.

felt that they might be somewhat re-
freshing to Redwood county folks.
Brown county also makes good
showing, but her average is higher
Brown county ranks list in the list
her average rate being 41.60 mills
There are sixteen counties with a
lower average rate than Browns. But
in seventy counties they are tapped
harder, on the average, than the tax
payers in the neighboring county of
Brown.
The average rate for the state has
doubled in the past eleven years. 1t
has also climbed up five mills since
1922. The bulk of taxes are what
are termed ''local taxes" that is for
municipal, town and school purposes,
and are directly under the thumb of
the taxpayers. For a good share of
it they HELM to vote the levy, and all
of it is quite responsive to their
whims. The figures from the tax
abstracts which this paper has quoted
illustrate that in the demand for
lower taxes, the taxpayers are not
really starting Eat home" where they
have the most to say and where the
most of the taxes are expended. The
local rates are gradually climbing.
The increased sums are likely being
disbursed for better schools, better
roads, more road maintenance, and
municipal improvements, all of which
people are demanding.
1t would appear that tax reduction
is not so much ''long distance" pro-
position as it is matter of foregoing
public improvements Eat home"
At any rate Redwood county has
very good schools, fine system of
roads, progressive towns with good
public improvements, and their cost
and the cost of government in this
county seems to be very reasonable,
indeed, in comparison with the state
as a whole.

New P. M. Named
For Sleepy Eye
EMIL RASMUSSEN APPOINTED
ACTING POSTM ASTER.-POST-
MASTER AND ASSISTANT
DISMISSED.

Sleepy Eye has a new postmaster
in the person of Emil Rasmussen
who took charge of the office, Mon
day, succeeding Postmaster w. R
Hodges, whose term would have ex-
pired June 9Th, after serving over
eight years. He was appointed by
the late President Woodrow Wilhon
This change was not made in the or
binary manner, but was brought about
through an alleged shortage in the &C
counts of the post office. An inspec-
tor discovered discrepancy Of about
S1,O62, of which about $500 was in
war savings stamps and about $500
in money order funds, the balance be-
ing from other sources.
Glen Davey, the assistant postmast-
er, was held to be responsible for
$3.50, which he repaid to the govern
ment. A further shortage of $1,000
could not be definitely charged against
Mr.. Davey and Postmaster Hodges
made up the deficiency. A letter, re
ceived by Mr.. Hodges from Congress
man Clague, stated that the inspec-
tors report did not charge him with
any dishonest intent and it can be in
ferred that the muddle is due to lax
supervision on the part of the post
master.
Assistant Postmaster Glen Davey
was summarily dismissed from office,
civil service position and also caus-
ed the removal of Postmaster Hodges.
Inasmuch as he had only few more
weeks to serve, efforts were made
to allow him to complete his term, but
the government insisted that the
change be made at once, and Emil
Rasmussen was selected to assume
duties as acting postmaster of Sleepy
Eye on Monday morning.
Mr.. Rasmussen was formerly a mer-
chant at Evan and also served as
postmaster of that village. He has
been conducting a grocery store at
Sleepy Eye for a number of years.
He will. no doubt, become a candidate
for postmaster, but it can be expected
that other candidates will also be in
the field. Ordinarily, however, the
acting postmaster is generally ap-
pointed.
1t is to be regretted that this I'M
fortunate occurrence overlook MI
Hodges toward the close of his term.
During all his many years of resi-
dence at Sleepy Eye, he has been held
in the highest esteem. He has been
honorable in all of his dealings with
his fellow men.
Mr.. Davey has been employed In
the Sleepy Eye postoffice for many
wears and was slated for postmaster
by some of his friends, but his sum-
mary removal will eliminate him from
any further consideration.-Brown
County Journal.

1t will be a matter of interest to
Redwood county citizens, and per-
haps matter of surprise as well,
to know that the average tax rate
of Redwood county is low in compari-
son with most of the counties in the
state.
The average tax rate in this coun-
ty is 1925 mills, while the average
for all the counties in the state is
59.47 mills. This brings the Redwood
average The average for the state
is represented by the average of all
the county tax rates. The average
county rate is arrived at by averaging
all the municipal, township and school
rates to which is added the county
and state levy.
The highest average rate is in Bel
trami county, where it foots up to
1877 mills The lowest rate is in
Rock county where the figure is 1851
mills. Of the 81 counties Redwood
ranks 10th in average tax or to state
it differently only eight counties have
a lower average tax rate.
When the taxpayer in Redwood
county forks over his tax money, with
a feeling that it costs a pretty penny
to run the government, he can also
have the satisfaction of knowing that
he hasn't quite as big a kick coming
as his fellow citizens have in seventy
eight other counties in Minnesota.
Of course this is speaking in aver
ages. There are some municipalities
in this county where the school and
local tax run up to eighty mills or
more. These high rates where there
are heavy local expense and expensive
schools helps to boost the county av-
erage and this same thing holds good
in all the counties.
These figures are from the official
abstracts Of the county auditors and
the state auditor, and The Messenger
