Western Beet
Men Against
Mr.. La Toilette
CALIFORNIANS SAY WISCONSIN
SENATOR'S RECORD SHOWS
HIM AGAINST TARIFF THAT
HELPS THIS INDUSTRY.

California beet-sugar farmers have
Investigated and exposed the tariff
record of Senator La Toilette. They
are telling the world, especially the
beet-sugar growers of Minnesota,
that the Wisconsin Senator's record
brands him as being consistently in
consistent.
H. C. Wyckoff of Watsonville, Cali
fornia, outlined the plans of Cali
fornia beet growers at Republican
headquarters recently. He said:
Senator La Toilette is making a
great fuss over the alleged defraud-
ing of the consuming public through
the tariff on sugar. If his conten-
tions are true why didn't he fight his
battle for the peoples rights on the
floor Of the Senate when the issue
was being settled instead of waiting
until Presidential campaign is in
progress There were five roll calls
on the sugar tariff rate, three of
them on motions to reduce the rate
and two on motions to increase it..
Where was La Follette's mighty voice
then? Where was his vote? The
peoples champion was strangely
missing, for the official records show
he did not vote on any one of the
five roll calls nor was he even paired.
And yet now he is galloping around
the country telling US what a great
outrage the sugar duty is.
'sI'll tell you what kind of an out
rage it is. 1t is outrageous enough
to give the sugar beet grower small
profit on his years work. 1t is the
sugar beet grower who benefits from
the sugar tariff rate more than the
refinery because the refinery makes
its profit, no matter what sugar is
selling for. The refner pays the
farmer on the basis of the market
price. He will get this whether we
reduce the tariff or not, but the far
mer won't. He needs that duty more
than anything else.

La Toilette Vote
May Be Vote
for Chas. Bryan
TOM SCHALL CITES POSSIBILITY
OF ELECTION TIE;UP MAKING
BRYAN PRESIDENT OF UNIT
ED STATES.

Minnesota must give it's IL electoral
votes to Coolidge, for any other dis
position would help put Bryan into
the White House, Congressman Thorn
as d. Schall, republican candidate for
United States senator, declared in a
recent speech at Robbinsdale. He
explained the political situation in
the following terse and lucid Ian
guage:
"As l have repeatedly said, the
presidential contest in Minnesota is
between Coolidge and La Toilette"
Mr.. Schall told his audience. "Just
fight between Coolidge and La Fol-
lette-that's all there is to it. Davis
hasn't any more chance of carrying
Minnesota than Coolidge has of car
rying Mississippi.
'1f La Toilette should carry Mime
sofa, what good will it do him? 1t
takes 266 electoral votes to gain the
presidency and La Follette's manag-
ers do not even claim more than 20
electoral votes. So, it's as plain as a
pikestaff that La Toilette cannot be
elected in November. Everyone con-
nected with this campaign, any one
who gives a minutes thought to it,
realizes this fact.
"Now, what good will these 20 cleo
toral votes do La Toilette? Why,
they will give him a balance of pow
er that he can exercise, to say who
will be president. 1t will place La
Toilette in position where he, and
he alone, can decide who shall be the
executive head of our great govern
ment for the next four years.
"How will he do it? Granted that
he wins enough electoral college votes
to prevent Coolidge 'or Davis from
having the necessary MAJORITY, the
election will be thrown into congress.
In the house of representatives, which
is entrusted with the task of choos-
ing president under the situation,
the vote will be by states, one vote

Presbyterians
Dedicate Mem
OridI Chapel
DIR. ROSS TO TAKE PART IN SER
VICE DEDICATING HISTORIC
CHURCH REBUILT THROUGH
HIS HELP.

St. Peter citizens will join with the
leaders of the Presbyterian Synod of
Minnesota at dedication exercises for
the historic chapel recently completed
at the old Traverse burying ground
next Wednesday afternoon. At the
meeting of the st. Peter Association
was appointed to act with DIR. Ma
thanial McGiffn in securing a good
turn out for the important historical
event.
Many church. notables will be pres
ent for the ceremony, according to
DR.. McGiffn. The affair is part of
the three-day synod program. The
new moderator, to be elected on Tues
day of next week, will have charge of
the dedication ceremony proper. DIR.
M. D. Edwards, for 40 years pastor
of the Dayton Avenue church in Min
neapolis, will be the principal speaker.
He is the historian of the synod and
had done much to bring about the
establishment of this monument. DIR.
A. w. Ross of Redwood Falls, for
mer pastor of the local church and
the man who has had charge of the
building of the chapel, will deliver
the dedicatory prayer. Representa-
tives from 274 Presbyterian churches
In Minnesota, representing. $4,000
Pensioners will be present.
The church notables will leave
Mankato, where the synod will be in
session, Immediately after the noon
hour. They will arrive here in cars
and will gather at the Presbyterian
church. Here they will be joined by
the st. Peter delegation. At 1870
o'clock, cars will leave the church
for the old cemetery.
The chapel was built early in the
spring by contractor Ole Fredricksen
of this city at the instigation of DIR.
Ross. 1t is an exact replica of the
old Presbyterian Mission, the first
in the state, located at Traverse des
Sioux. It was built at a cost of
$4,000. A large amount of this
money was donated by citizens of st.
Peter who are interested in preserv-
ing these old landmarks. The re-
mainder came from the individual
congregations of the synod. There is
a small deficit yet to be wiped out
and this will undoubtedly be taken
care of at the synod meeting next
week by those congregations who
have not already subscribed

Gas Tax Aids
Legislature to
Protect Roads
TAX ON CARS ALL TO GO TO
ROAD BUILDING PROJECT;
NONE FOR OTHER STATE EX-
PENSES.

Minnesota automobiles must not be
taxed for general state expenses in
addition to the entire cost of improve
ments and maintenance on the big
7,000-mile system of trunk highways
carrying 80 per cent of road travel
in the state, as they already are
bound to do by the constitution.
That will be the verdict of the peo-
pie if a majority of yes votes at
the next election passes Gas Tax
Amendment No. l., Nickles N. Dimes,
gas tax advocate announced this week.
"The legislature already has power,
if it wishes, to tax gasoline at any
reasonable rate and also to put the
motor vehicle taxes at any reasonable
level, up or down." he continued, re-
ferring to the ruling by the attorney
general.
"For example, it can reduce the
present motor vehicle tax to $40 a
year from the present 1888 average
and pass 2-cent gas tax law which
would take about the difference from
the average car owner.
"But," emphasized the gas tax man,
"unless Amendment No. / is voted
November A, such action would cut
state highway funds in two and
cripple the road program, and force
car owners to pay some $4,000,000 a
year toward the general expenses of
the state government. Gas taxes
cannot be put on the roads unless
Amendment No. l is adopted, and
that is all there is to the proposition.

Beat Visitors
in Sunday Game
"OLD FELLOWS PERK UP AND
DEFEAT ANCIENT OPPONENTS
BY SCORE OF 12-O IN FIRST
GAME.

Last Sunday afternoon the Fair
Grounds at Redwood Falls, was the
scene of hard-fought battle between
the Redwood Independents, made up
of the younger men of the old Legion
outfit, and the Springfield American
Legion aggregation. The score was
II to o. The Redwood team had had
almost no practice except for about
three hours of signal drill during the
week preceding the game, while the
Springfield crew had already played
two games and put in considerable
practice besides. AS may be imagin-
ed, the odds were given to Spring
field up until about the second quart
er, when the spectators began to
realize that the men wearing the
purple and gold were no set-ups af-
ter all. This is the sixth year that
Springfield has tried to capture the
Redwood scalp and they failed rather
dismally, as usual. The game held
more surprises than a rich uncle's
will. Throughout the first half the
score remained "nothing-and" with
the opposing teams giving everything
they had. Both teams found it hard
to make their .yardage during the
first quarter and the ball changed
hands as often as a hot clam.
The second frame the Redwood
gang opened up and used everything
but the water boys jug. Every one
of their seven plays proved effective
and they went through the orange
and black line like half a brick
through plate glass window. With
the ball about forty yards from it's
final destination Thomas, the gallop-
ing full back, by clever fake, car
ried it up to within ten yards of the
goal where the team all put their
shoulders to the wheel and opened up
a hole big enough for Stensvad to
sneak through for the first counter of
the game. Thomas failed to make
the point after touchdown, due to an
unfavorable side wind, and the gang
lined up for the kickoff with all the
old time pep and snap which charact-
erized the famous Legion team two
years ago. The way they swept down
the field, making yard after yard
through the line, was reminder of
the team which made Redwood fam
Gus throughout the northwest.
The second score came when
Shorty Hauck, at right end, picked
Springfield pass out of the ozone and

Forest Measure
Called Merely
Protective Act
NO. A WILL ALLOW
LIMITATION ON TAXATION,
NOT EXEMPTION, SENATOR
vIBERT OF CLOQUET SAYS.

By approving Amendment No. 4,
the forestry amendment, at the polls
November A, the voters of Minnesota
will not be delegating to the State
Legislature authority to enact laws
exempting any lands from annual
taxation, but they will provide mere
ly the means whereby legislation may
be enacted fixing definite and limit
ed taxation on such lands as are
planted to forests over a term of
years.
That point was emphasized by
State Senator Fred d. Vibert last
Friday evening at a dinner given
forestry officials, newspaper men and
others by the Cloquet Civic and Com
merce association. Under existing
laws the Legislature may provide for
such definite and limited taxation, Mr..
Vibert explained, but it might be of
temporary and unsatisfactory nature,
inasmuch as succeeding legislature
could amend the provision, and a
period of two years is insufficient as
surance to encourage the planting Of
forests.
Amendment Is Misunderstood.
Virtually the only criticism that
has been directed toward Amend
ment No. 4 has been on a mistaken
understanding that under its prov
isons the Legislature might exempt
forested lands from taxation over a
period of years. That, however, is
not the purpose of the proposal,
which provides specifically for de-
finite but limited taxation as decreed
by the Legislature. The prosposed
amendment is widely approved and
the purpose of the statewide cam
paign in its behalf is to impress ON
the, voters that they must give it
their actual support at the polls as
well as their approval.
The amendment must receive ma
]orlty OF all the votes cast at the
general election in order to pass.
