IKE WALT0NS
ASK FARMERS
TO give AID
Conservation Work De-
ponds on Country Help.

Local leaders in the great conServa-
ton movement fOstered by the Izaak
Walton clubs of America are cOnvinc-
ed that cooperation from the dwell
ers in the country is necessary if the
movement is to progress and remain
active Along this line the following
statement has been prepared for pub
LEGATION:
We have organized a chapter of the
Izaak Walton League at Lancaster,
with a membership of nearly one hun
dred and fifty lovers of the outdoors.
This organization is growing very
rapidly and has now membership Of
over one million in the United States.
The big object of this organization
is for fair, clean craftsmanship, and
for the conservation of Outdoor Amer
lea.
The Lancaster Chapter of the I. w,
L. expects to do a good deal of work
this season in regard to stocking the
streams with trout, and we realize
that we surely need the cooperation
of the man who own the land and the
public in general.
On Crooked Creek, near Boscobel,
the farmers will not permit any fish
ing Tor any KIND OF 'nSh during the
closed season for trout. The closed
season is from September to May l..
We would like to have the good will
and cooperation of all the land own
ers on these streams and in return,
we will try and educate the fisherman
to appreciate the favors he receives,
and to respect the rights and wishes
of the man who owns the land.
With the consent of the land own
ers on these streams we will be in po-
sition to inform the public through the
press that "No fishing will be allowed
during the closed season for trout"

Gasoline Tax Is
the ONLY Fair Tax.

All taxes of any or every description
are an unmitigated nuisance and we
heartily wish every tax in the world
was abolished forever. Wouldn't that
be a great reform?
But until we find out how TO miti-
gate the nuisance we are likely TO be
bothered with taxes. The problem
then is how best to distribute the tax
and how to place it where it best be-
longs.
In considering methods to raise road
money, a gasoline tax is finding wide
favor. Thirty-six states have adopted
such a tax the ratio running from lie
to &c a gallon.
The gasoline tax has spread rapidly.
Just a year or two ago it was unheard
Of
1t is doubtless apparent that the
man who uses the road most benefits
most from the road. He also uses the
most gasoline. A tax on his fuel
would help place the burden of road
maintenance where it justly belongs.

Pot Calls
Kettle Black.

determinations, back and forth, be-
tween the Republican and Democrat
LEGISLATORS at Washington, reminds
one of the old adage about "the pot
calling the kettle black" True when
it comes to being slicked up with oil
the republicans seem to be shade the
slickest, but Hon. Albert E. Fall, is a
democrat and he seems to be the fall
guy.
No breath of the scandal has touch
ed Coolidge. AS titular head of the
party as we'll as president of the ma
ton he will be expected to clean
house. So far he has been under the
disadvantage of having an inherited
cabinet. That some black sheep may
be present is certainly not his fault.
Then when we hear the democrats
bowling turn the rascals out" we re-
member the air ship scandal, the war
waste scandal, the shipping board
scandal and few other scandals cry
ing to high heaven under the Wilson
regime. Administration apologists said
it was unavoidable because of war
conditions and the people accepted the
rather weak explanation and let 1t go
at that.
Now the pot calls the kettle black.
What the people want is honest and
incorruptible government and this
transcends all party lines.

weight instead of light comedy, etc.?
There is wealth of stern tragedy,

follow should and probably will, seek to regulate
only the labor Of those under 16, or perhaps ID,
years Of age.
But already in many states conditions of
labor of boys under 18 years are prescribed, and
in ten states the power is asserted and exercised
to prohibit the employment of males under q
wears of age, in certain lines of activity.
There is nothing revolutionary or menacing
in the form of the amendment, and whatever
legislation may be proposed under its authority
by congress will be subject to nationwide dis
cussion and will be enacted only upon general ac-
ceptance of its merit.
1t is impossible to regard the opposition to
this amendment as based on anything except
either mercenary purpose to keep down the
wages of labor by the employment of children OF
tender age, or complete misunderstanding OF
the purpose as presented.
The amendment seeks to make conditions
of child labor identical throughout the United
States.
That purpose is one which it would seem
that all right-minded people could properly ap-

Just by way of explanation; the Gazette ha.

Just by way Of explanations; the Gazette has
always endeavored to give through it's news
columns true and unbiased reports of political
speeches made in the City of Redwood Falls no
matter how much we may disagree with that
speech in our editorial columns. However, we
are prevented from doing so in the case of the
speech of Floyd B. Olson who spoke here Wednes-
day eveningCprevented by Mr.. Olson himself.
He made the statement that Republican papers
throughout the state had failed to report his
speeches or had reported them inaccurately. Of
the two he preferred that they not report them
at ALL Since we had not provided stenograph-
er to take Mr.. Olson's speech, relying on our own
reporting methods which have served us on similar
occasions for the past ten years, we have no
means of giving verbatim report which in the
last analysis would be the only sort of a report
that could fill Mr.. Olsons demand for accuracy
Therefore we are unable to give our readers the
report of Mr.. Olson's speech to which they are
really entitled. It is the first time we have ever
received instructions from speaker on the plat
form or elsewhere as to how he was to be re-
presented in our pages. However we aim to
please even if we have to keep silent to do it

Floyd B. Olson says he never made the speech
Rudolph Lee reported You bet he never made
t-and Rudolph never said he did! What Floyd
did say that the regime of the Socialist
Council of Minneapolis had given that city just
the sort Of splendid and etc. sort of government
that he, Floyd, expects to give the state of Min
nesota WHEN he becomes its governor. That
was enough for that Lee man. He raced off to
Minneapolis and began to look up records and
statistics on what the Minneapolis Council has
actually done. 1t was an exhaustive and ex-
hausting study that Ruddie made but he found
out few things about waste and extravaganza
ineffiiency and confusion. His report, printed
in ordinary newspaper type, would just neatly
fill one page of the Gazette. It's length is. the
only thing that saves it from being reprinted
herewith-but we will loan our copy of it if any
one is interested. But when Floyd B. Olson
claims it sample of an inaccurate report such
as he accuses all Republican editors of making he
mistates the fact. 1t never intended to be
a report of his speech-it is merely very COM
prehensive report of what his beloved Council
has done.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1924.
BLUE, HERON

Once in the evening it was there,
And at the reedy margin of the lake,
It's wild blue note against the silver air
Flowed out like music, when spent intervals OF
silence break
With unclaimed legacies of song =
long, long note as night and stars are long,
The hours blow outward like chime OF BELLS
but fall
In shadows, not in cadences.
They wrap the dusk about them for shawl,
And where its fringes tangle in the trees,
The pines reach upward out of silence into
speech;
Into a muffed requiem reach and reach,
Above thin, advancing mist, that drops
Downward in whirling phantom shapes, and steps
With one protesting SILVER, when it yields
To a long flow, like moonlit water through the
fields.
And then the nearer world becomes blot,
And things spring into being that are not.
Dark wings swirl eerily, and cries
Out of the unlt silence, rise and RISE
The wet fern has sudden poignance, sharp and
thin,
AS if hands struck an untuned violin,
And in chilled water to their knees,
Huddle the accomplishing Expresses
In one blue note against the darkening air,
The mystic heron vanished-where?

beautiful birds but few that even approach the
heron. 1t has had numberess admirers, as in
deed the whole collection has had since it has
been placed in the window. 'It would be a

town" has been said dozens of times by people
who have looked at the birds, studied them, and
returned the next day to repeat the process.
Some have suggested that it be purchased and
placed in the postoffice others that it become a
fixture in the library, others that place be made
for it in the school building. First of all
