Club for Bendixen

At meeting of the Redwood Falls
"Bendixen-for Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner Club" the follow
ing statement and resolution was adj,
opted:
knowing Mr.. BendiXen as intlm-
ately as we do, both in relation to-
his private and public life, we most
earnestly and sincerely commend his
candidacy for the office of Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner to our
fellow citizens of the State.
During his prolonged membership,
in the House of Representatives, he
has proven his worth as public ser-
want; his record there is replete with
constructive and beneficent legislation.
His honesty and integrity is beyond a
shadow of doubt; his public service
has been marked by a spirit of fair
ness and observation-disclosures that proves
his fitness to represent the whole state
and all groups of our common citi--
zenry in any public capacity, and we
feel sure that if elected to the office
to which he now aspires, his services
there will be marked by the same
spirit of integrity and zeal that has
been manifested in his past service.
therefore. Be 1t Resolved That we
pledge ourselves to promote his cam
didacy by all honorable means at our
disposal; and be it further resolved
that we urge our fellow citizens
throughout the State to extend to
him their hearty support as matter
of good public policy"
c. A. Luscher was elected chairman
of the local club, and G. w. Gold was

What happened then about the
tariff 'semes likely now to happen ell
over again about taxes, ana the
central disturbing figure in each In
stance will have been the senior
Senator from Wisconsin.
La Toilette then headed q group
of Republican insurgent Senators
who voted with the Democrats 70
enact tariff reduction law which
President Taft had to veto. In veto
ing 1t, however, he was obliged to
raise up for himself an endless line
OF embarrassnaents.
Steps I'm Play.
Today the Democrats and the
members of the La Toilette "pro-
gressive group in both Houses of
Congress are planning precisely the
same play In the matter Of tax re-
duction. The successive steps In this
play this time are as follows:
The Democrats will develop q tax
reduction plan and the Republican
''progressives"a win develop q tax re-
duction plan Of their own.
The Republican Progressive
plan will be more radical than the
Democratic plan. It will tend, for
instance, toward restoring the tex
cess profits" tax.
The Democratic plan win be more
moderate toward the rich. II never
theless win treat the rich much
more harshly than the Mellon plan.
Both plans win produce q greater
total reduction Of taxes than the
Mellon plan. Mellon aims to re-
duce taxes by three hundred and
twenty-three million dollars. The
Democratic plan and the Republi-
can Progressive" plan, according
to present prospects, win reduce
taxes by perhaps $500. .OOO.O 900.
This reduction. hpwever. win be
accomplished in these plans without
any notable dimution Of taxes for
