MAYOR NELSON'S CRITICS
FAIL TO PROVE TAX FLAWS
(Continued from page u

| CONTINUED from page ID
Der of the House of Representatives
from Ramsey county, including
Frank T. StarkeyI president Of the
st. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly,
voted unanimously for this bill. and
every member of the Senate from
Ramsey county with the exception Of
one. also voted unanimously for this
road and bridge bond issue.
"It is these three major improve
ment programs. authorized and order
ed by the voters themselves. that are
partly responsible for the increase in
this years taxes" Mayor Nelson en-
phasizes.
But q large part of the increase
comes through the increase of more
than 80 per cent in the state taxes
which make UP part OF the tax total
that is paid to the county treasurer. :"
Mayor Nelson declares. THE people
Of st. Paul and Ramsey county are
compelled to pay this state tax. de-
spite the fact that they receive no
| direct benefit, SO far as their city or
county governments are concerned.
And In this connection, II must be
borne in mind that neither the mayor
nor the members of the county coun-
Gil have anything to say as regards
fixing the amount Of the state tax. It
is determined solely by the members
Of the state legislature"
Mayor Nelson sums up the tax sit
uation briefly when he calls attention
to the fact that mo mayor. no city
council nor any city official can in
crease taxes" This is true, because
the city charter expressly limits the
expenditure of tax monies for all gov
ernmental purposes to an amount not
to exceed $4,000 per capita Of popu-
lation.
| The People Have Say.
"The city governments for the past
six years." Mayor Nelson says, have
| uccu cApcuuih6 thC totoi Va thS
$4,000 per capita. The Mayor and
the city council cannot go beyond this
amount, and only through an express
ed vote Of the people Of st. Paul. the
taxpayers themselves can the city
government spend more than the
$4,000 per capita"
In this connection, 1t is perhaps
we'll to remind the opposition to
Mayor Nelson that IL the people Of st.
Paul themselves want to spend more
money for needed permanent public
Improvements in order to make st.
Paul better city in which to live and
to do business, then such a procedure
is entirely the business of the people
of st. Paul.
And when Mayor Nelson's opposi-
ton attempts to pick quarrel with
the Mayor for following out the ex-
press wishes of the people Of st. Paul.
they ought to remember that they
are not quarreling with Mayor Mel
son, but with the majority of the tax
payers and voters of the city.

GOT THE WORST OF IT

According to published reports in
the daily papers Walter Beinhower,
one of our city firemen, must have
been cutting up high jacks last Sun
day morning. At any rate the ac-
counts say he was arrested charged
with illegal transportation and pos
session of liquor, reckless driving
and resisting an officer.
It is alleged that during the time
he was endeavoring to elude the Off
GERS he tossed bottle into the street
after emptying it of it's contents, but
which when picked up by the cops was
found to contain sufficient evidence
to prove it had once been filled with
q liquid containing more than one
half of one percent of alcohol.
Walter has been suspended from
the fire department and at his ap-
pearance in municipal court Monday
morning to answer to the many and
various charges preferred against
him had his case continued until a
later date. The Safety Director will
look into the case Friday.
1t is alleged that Beinhower noti-
fled the fire department over the tel
cphone that he was ready to go to
work and would report for duty at
seven o'clock Monday morning, as
usual, but was told by the Fire Chief

part in the nationwide better home
lighting contest this fall, according to
announcement by ]. E. North, region
al director of the campaign in Ohio,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
The contest, which is expected to
reach into every town and hamlet OF

standard of home lighting in order to
cut down the steadily mounting per
centage Of Americans afflicted with
defective eye-sight.
Primers, outlining the essentials OF
good lighting, will be supplied to al
contestants. After a study of the
primer, contestants will write essays
setting forth their conception of gooC
lighting. Prize awards will be based
on these essays.
A $4,000 model home, erected

the first prize in the national con-
test. A large number of local prizes
also are being arranged in many Ohio
towns and cities.

standards in Ohio and throughout the
nation. Every contestant must make
survey of lighting conditions in two
homes besides his own, thus carrying

three homes. All school children over
10 years of age may enter the con-
test.

STILL COMING
HELEN KELLER IS FOR "RORn
- LA TOILETTE
Senator Receives an Unusual Letter
From an Unusual Woman Who Will
Help Put Him in White House

FROM her home at Forest Hills.
Long Island, New York, Miss Helen
Keller, the internationally famous
blind and deaf social service worker
writes a letter to Senator La Toilette
expressing her joy that the people are
TO nave an opportunity of voting for
him for President of the United
States.
1t is an unusual letter, written bv
an unusual woman, and tells in force
tul language why she is supporting
the Progressive ticket, which she
pfedlcts will be victorious, because it
STANDS Tor liberty and righteousness.
IN part Miss Keller's letter is as
follows:
Unto you greetings and salutation
and fealty! My congratulations are
somewhat delayed; but if you knew
how my heart rejoiced when 1 heard
OF your nomination, my silence would
not seem to you like Indifference. |
am emboldened to address you be-
cause Of Gods commandment to
bring forth the blind people that
have eyes, and the deaf that have
ears
II rejoice that a sufficient number
OF thinking Americans have come to
the conclusion, after many trials and
trlbulations, hat you are the man of
the hour-the man most capable of
breaking the power of private monop-
oily, and leading the people to victory.
Il am for you because you have
courage and vision and unyielding de-
termination to find sensible, lust
way out Of the evils which threaten
this country. l am for you because
you have forward-looking mind.
You are alive, and have grip on
live issues. When l think of you,
do not need to go back to dead states
men for inspiration, or dig out of
books ideals for which I am willing
to make sacrifices. You have prin-
ciples you are ready to fight for, to
risk your life for. Your Golden Age
is not behind you, but just ahead of
you, and to be reached in the future.
81 am for you because you believe
that the people should rule, and that
the voters should have assured and
effective freedom Of choice of those
who make and execute the laws. l
am for you because you believe that
labor should participate in public af-
fairs. The aim Of all government
should be to secure to the workers as
large share as possible of the fruits
of their toll. For is it not labor that
creates all things?
81 am glad that you have been
called upon to take the helm of state
at this critical moment. If the shame
ful corruption and injustice which
prevail in politics are not checked,
there will be an end of liberty in the
United States. Only the nation which
has the strength, courage and will to
defend itself from the encroachments
of wealth and privilege can keep it's
liberty. Every one who casts a vote
for you will be helping to hand down
to his children's children the liberties
which the founders of this nation
won, and you are preserving.
"My heart and my prayers go with
you into the battle. May God bless
you, and keep you safe and enable you
to do the full service of which you
are capable for America and for man
kind"

Workers to Raise
a Campaign Fund

New York-A start was made to-
ward underwriting the local campaign
for La Toilette and Wheeler, at the
city convention of the Conference for
Progressive Political Action, held in
Beethoven hall with 127 local unions
participating. $4,000 was pledged by
the cutters local of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers. Other pledges in
cluded $1,000 from the Children's
Clothing Workers; $4,000 from the
Fur Workers; $4,000 from the Jewish
bakers.
Passage of a resolution urging each
affiliated local organization to col
lect one dollar from every member
assures a campaign fund of at least
100000. This dollar-a-member res
olution was proposed by Jerome De
Hunt of the railway and steamship
clerks.
Promise of a sweeping national
victory was made by national chair
man William H. Johnston of the C.
P. P, A. He was followed by Atty
Gen. Herman L. Ekern of Wisconsin,
who spoke in a similar vein. John
ston emphasized the corruption and
cowardice in the old parties" which
"made a new line up inevitable" and
Ekern talked of the farmers anger
at the Republican party,

Senator ASSaiIS
Government Waste

Washington, D. C.-Industry is be-
ing robbed of its reward, frugality is
being stripped of it's compensation
and men and women are being de-
prived of their savings and sepa-
rated from their property through q
wasteful and cruel exaction in the
name of government, Senator Borah,
of Idaho, declared in speaking of the
tremendous Indebtedness Of the coun-
trty.
Emphasizing the mounting indebt-
edness the Idaho senator points out
that the present Indebtedness of this
country, state and national, is over
100000, 100000.
"In 1903 our taxes per capita were
$17.03," Senator Borah points out.
"In 1922 they were $64.63.
"In 1913 we were taking Ga per
cent of our national income in the
way of taxes. In 1922 we were TAX
ing 12.1 percent of the national in
come for taxes. Our tax bill for
either 1922 or 1923 was larger than
the entire running expenses Of the
government for the 20 years from
1873 to 1893.
Extravaganza is only a step on
the hither side of corruption. They
are both plants from the same putrid
soil and flourish in the same infect
ed atmosphere. 1t makes little diff
ference in the last analysis to the
taxpayers whether his property and
his interests are dissipated and de
stroyed through individual corruption
lists or through unconscionable disre-
gard Of sound laws which protect his
rights and guarantee his success as
a citizen"

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COynmendation and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Last Saturday a couple of cops,
acting it is said, under orders from
the Chief of Police, halted the New
ark agent of the notorious Muncle
Post Democrat as he emerged from
the express office at the Pennsyl-
vania station, and without his pernnis-
sion deprived him of the bundle OF
newspapers he had just received from
the Indiana town where they are
printed.
Now whether or not this procedure
is justified the "Hired Man" does not
presume to judge, nor does he parti-
cularly care, but the fact remains
that citizen was deprived Of goods
which were supposedly his legal prop
erty. 1t is alleged that a Newark at
torney expressed an opinion that it
looked something like grand larceny
Be that as it may, the news agent
lost out.
The episode reminds one Of the
story about the poor devil in jail
whose lawyer told him he could not
be imprisoned for his alleged offense
who came back with the response "the
HI they can't! Amt here?"
It also calls to mind an incident OF
a similar character which occurred
about twelve years ago. At that time
a paper published away from town
and handled by a Newark man, became
Objectionable to a certain set and it
was decided to put it out of business
and arrangements were made to con-
fiscate the next issue upon its ar
rival. But the agent was too wise
for them. and having been tipped off
had two shipments made by different
routes, The sleuths got one, the
agent the other, and the subscribers
got theirs.
Wonder if the Chief, who if the
"H. NJ" is not mistaken was Captain
of Police at that time, did not re-
member the incident and saw to it
that no leaks occurred this time,
