''Ben'' Announces
His Candidacy
MORGAN MAN WILL FILE FOR
PLACE AS WAREHOUSE
COMMISSIONER.

One of the recent important political
developments is the announcement of
C. M. Bendixen of Morgan that he is
a candidate for State Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner. He seeks
to succeed Frank w. Matson of ST.
Paul who is the present incumbent by
appointment.
1t is expected that Mr. Bendixen
will file in the next few weeks for
the Republican nomination at the
June primaries. So far he is the only
candidate spoken of for the place, but
of course it is generally assumed that
Mr. Matson will also file, although no
intimation of it has been made in pub
lie print
At the Republican delegate conven-
tion Mr.. Bendixen renewed acquaint-
ances with members and former mem
bers of the state Legislature, and with
many other friends from throughout
the state whom he happened to meet
and he was given great encourage
ment on all sides. He did not in fact
definitely determine to become a can
didate until after he had discussed the
matter with people from various sec
tions of the state.-MOrgan Messeng-

PhilbriCk Store
Much Enlarged
LOCAL FIRM ADDS EASEMENT
gu UARfERS TO STORE; SPACI-
OUS DEPARTMENTS MADE.

The Greater Philbrick'S" was open-
ed to the public for the first time Bar
gain Day, March 18th. FOR several
weeks the entire store has been in the
hands OF carpenters, decorators, etc.
and last Wednesday marked the close
of practically all the work necessary
to the carrying out the plans Of J. B.
Phlibrick the proprietor, for increased
store facilities.
The addition of two large basement
rooms has added much to the store
space. These rooms. reached by a
stairway just inside the Washington
Street entrance. are well lighted and
equipped for the display of the usual
basement bargains in ready to wear,
Furnishings and miscelianey. The re-
moyal of such goods from the main
floor means more space for the display
of the regular ladies ready wear,
piece goods, shoes, etc.
A resrrangement of the entire first
floor has turned the store into a
splendiGly lighted and well arranged
series of shops. The ladies suits
coats, dresses, etc. now occupy the
whole north side of the store. An
alteration room and two fitting rooms
have been installed as we'll as a series
of stock cases for the protection of
the garments specialized in this de-
partment- The shoe department
which formerly occupied this space,
has heen removed to the large west
rear room. A new arrangement of
the tiEhting system makes this sec
tion of the store most attractive and
very comfortable and convenient for.
the shoe purchaser. Silver gray has
been used as the color for interior
decoration and new paint and paper.
adds materially to both appearance
and lighting.

Local Banking
Conditions Good.

The general banking situation has
shown considerable Improvement the
past year. The past few months the
banks in Redwood Falls have had
more money on hand and are in better
shape to take care of their customers
than at any previous time during the
past four years. In line with their
conservative policies much of their
funds are invested in Government
Bonds and other liquid securities,
which can be converted into cash on
short notice. The splendid condition
of local banks is noted in a published
statement elsewhere in this issue OF
one of the local banking institutions
Everything considered, the public
should have the utmost confidence in
the conservative management of the
local banks.

Congress Must
Pass Farmers Bill
REED CALLS OPPONENTS TO Nc
NARY -HAUGEN BILL ENEMIES
OF FARMERS.

Members of Congress must speed
the passage of the McNary- -Haugen
bill or stand convicted as enemies of
the farmer, says J. F. Reed, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation. Mr.. Reed made this
statement twice last week in public
addresses, once at a joint meeting OF
Farm Bureau members and business
men from Cottonwood, Murray, Lyon
and Redwood counties, held at Tracy
and again at a meeting of the Cerro
Gordo Farm Bureau Township unit
in Lac Qui Parle county.
Mr. Reeds speeches were discus
sions of legislative and other steps
that the Farm Bureau is supporting
in an effort to bring about relief for
agriculture in the Northwest.
In explaining the plan of the Agri-
cultural Credit Corporation, of which
he is director, Mr.. Reed said that
the presence in the field of this $10,-
100000 agency should not cause far
mers to slacken their efforts to obtain
passage of the McNary- Haugen bill.
"The Credit corporation" he said, sis
not permanent remedy. 1t should
provide the means for giving tempor-
airy aid to individual farmers by pro-
viding funds which can not now be
obtained from The Federal Reserve
or the intermediate Credit banks. 1t
will not enable local banks to meet
their obligations to correspondent
banks"
Mr.. Reed deplored the present ten
dency at Washington to delay action
on pending legislation vital to farm
ers. Senators and Representatives
must speed such legislation as the
McNary- -Haugen bill, retire to pri-
vate life or stand branded as enemies
of agriculture" he declared
Large audiences heard both speeches
and heartily endorsed his stand.

State road aid apportionments al
ways bigger than it's state aid tax
total, Redwood county will have more
than S231 900 this year to use on local
roads. It's automobile owners will
pay about $95, 900 into the state trunk
highway fund. That is the only direct
tax for the main highways and the
only tax on motor vehicles. 1t is
paying for the improvement and main
tenance of the trunk routes which
formerly took 81 out of every S. OF
county road and bridge funds in the
state. Incidentally, the auto tax now
is lower than the old personal proper
ty tax on cars, without the state
license fee.
Foregoing figures are. from official
records. State Auditor Ray P. Chase
made public the annual abstract By
counties of taxes for various pur-
poses. The auto tax average of $16.5O
is that used in the office of Secretary
of State Mike Holm and the motor
vehicle figures are the best obtainable
and based on a total of 100000 ears
and trucks this year.
Here are some further showings:
Minnesota's funds for all road
purposes this year will be smaller
than for five years past.
Local roads are taking less
than a seventh of all general pro-
perty taxes levied in the state.
Two dollars is spent on county,
township and city-village roads
for every dollar used on trunk
highways, although the trunks
carry four out of five road
vehicles.
Of all general property taxes
levied in Minnesota, AZ per cent
is paid N Hennepin,. Ramsey and
St. Louis counties, including Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth.
OF an assessed valuation in
crease of about $24.50O,0OO this
year, about $20,500, 900 or more
than three fourths was in the
counties in which are located
those three large cities.
The three counties named paid
in SS12.817 of state road aid taxes
and will receive $180,000 of state
aid, the remaining S632.S17 to be
apportioned to other counties.
About one-third of the motor
vehicle tax receipts are from those
counties, but none of the trunk
highway fund is expended in the
cities of Minneapolis, ST. Paul or
Duluth.
State trunk highway income this
year will total about Sl0.000,0 900.
Auto taxes will amount to about S.
100000 according to the secretary of
state, and about $2,0OO,000 of federal
aid will be available. The amount set
aside in the sinking fund for interest
and bond payments, it is expected,
will offset the sum coming in from
sales of new county reimbursement
bonds.
Funds for local roads. the tax ab-
stract shows, total $19,039, ,042 and
include 1851 1898 of county road and
bridge money, S6,219, 300 OF township,
and $1,1S6,344 of city-village road and
bridge funds. The tax total will be
increased by county bond issues for
local roads, in Hennepin and Ramsey
counties.

In closing the speaker said:
'The American Legion stands for a
great program of Americanization. 1t
is in favor OF restricted immigration.
1t is opposed to the foreign press, it
stands solid against ro-Germanism.
1t is potentially millions strong and
will be the controlling influence in
American life. The president elected
in 1928 will be service man. Mr..
Harding made this statement to a
friend of mine. The word has gone
out to kill the Legion. But the enc
mics of the Legion have overshot
their mark. Their opposition is re-
vealed as too sordid. The American
people will not turn the Legion down
for few dollars saved in taxes. The
service man going over the top did
not think of compensation or extra
pay. He thought of service in terms
of blood and life. There is no danger
from commercializing patriotism.
There is tremendous danger of pen
aIizing it. Think on these things"
