Do They Frame" En-?

1t is alleged that certain dry
sleuths are so anxious to gather in
victims that they do not wait to spot
actual bona fide violators of the Vol
stead Act, but must forsooth, resort
to low down dirty tricks to rope in
persons entirely innocent of any Of
fense.
1t is claimed that a female is be-
ing employed to plant evidence" !"
and to substantiate this claim the
following, story was given to the
Hired Man" A woman visited a
certain soft drink place sufficiently
often to get well acquainted, and up
Oh leaving recently after a call, pass
ed out through the pool room into
the street. Shortly after her depart
ure the "Spotter Gang" arrived and
proceeded to search the place. One
of the bunch steered Immediately into
the pool room and "discovered" bot
tie containing a suspicious concoction
hiding in a pocket of one of the
tables. AS no one had entered the
room since the woman had left it,
suspicion naturally pointed in her di-
rection. She had evidently left her
own private flask there or fixed up an
easy case for those who employed her
as cats paw. Probably the latter.
The owner of the place was arrest
ed, but the charge of illegal posses
sion could not be proven and the case
was dismissed. So boys, watch out
for a smooth tongued beguiling fe-
male snake in the grass who smiling
ly seeks to gain your friendship and
confidence.

How About This Case?

The new tangled law which makes
it a misdemeanor to blow an auto
mobile horn, except as a warning, be-
came effective on July 21st, and a
day or two thereafter, luckless vio-
lator of the statute as made and pro-
vided broke the law into smithereens
and let out couple of toots for no
particular reason.
Was he caught? Bet your life he
was, and yanked without delay be-
fore the Municipal Judge, who soak
ed him to the tune of ten bucks and
costs. AS he was the first offender
he probably got off easy.
Now the "Hired Man" would sub
nit this question to the Court. Sup
pose for instance a fellow is working
at an office down town and his wife
calls to take him home. She gets
tired of waiting for him out in front
and blows the horn as a warning"

NO CHILD EXPLOITATION

who have engaged in the crusade

who have engaged in the crusade
for human rights.
Here is a cause which should
afford one of the definite points
of contact between the forces of
organized labor and the forces
of religion. Surely, if these two
great forces could join whole
heartedly in promoting this NOR
al purpose there is no combina-
tion of selfish interests nor or
ganization of immoral forces
which could defeat us.
This work is our work. 1t will
not be completed until the or
ganized forces of civilization, be-
lieving that the human element
is above and beyond the consid-
GRAFTON of other things, rally to
the support of this great humane
proposal.
If these forces fail, the child
labor amendment will fail.

The "Hired Man" recently received
a somewhat lengthy letter signed

good sense, but which cannot be used
because it is anonymous. The Lead

lish no communication unless vouch-

withheld if requested.
The "H. NJ" takes off his hat to

way of handling questions of public
interest and honestly believe you are
as fair, as it is possible to be-" but

Mexico Fights Land BarOns

Heroic remedies are proposed by
Deputy Quevedo, of the Mexican Con-
gress, to scotch the landlord evil in
cities of our southern neighbor. He
has introduced a bill limiting indivi-
duals to ownership of no more than
five houses, and, to provide for trans-
ition from the present state of af-
fairs, would oblige landlords to sell
their houses on terms allowing no
more than 10 per cent of the present
rent. Thus a worker paying $50 a
month rent would pay $55 under the
proposed law, SIS being applied to
purchase of the house.
Wealthy landlords are fighting the
bill, of course, but the middle classes
have rallied to the Quevedo standard,
since they and the workers are the
greatest sufferers from abnormally
high rents, being forced to sign stiff
contracts which always favor the
landlords, leaving them without re-
course to the courts.
Economists foresee that Quevedo's
bill, if passed, will make Mexico a
nation of home owners.

Mayor Is Bound Over

Newark still holds a prominent Pc
sition in the limelight and now en-
joys the unique distinction Of having
the mayor Of the city bound over to
the grand jury to answer to charge
of perjury, with which he is accused
by the Chief of Police.
The municipal court room was jam
med and packed Wednesday morning
when the celebrated case of SWank VS..
Stevens was called, and notwithstand-
ing what looked like a scheme to rail
road the judge from presiding by call
ing him as a witness for the defense,
and thus enabling the mayor to put
another man in his place, His Honor
refused to be "throwed out" and held
on to his job like good fellow.
The claim of the attorney for the
defense that the charge of corrupt
practice" was barred by the statute
of limitation was allowed, but the
court held that the charge of perjury
should hold and refused to let it go
by.
When it was decided to proceed
with the trial on this charge, defend
ants attorney arose and said: an
view Of the discussion, | feel that it
is to the interest of the mayor and
to the interest of the public to waive
examination and let the matter go
over to the common pleas court"
This view of the matter was agreed
to and Stevens was bound over to the
grand jury. The bond Of the Mayor
was furnished by William Lietz, re-
Gently appointed Civil Service Com
missioner to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Fletcher Scott.
And thus the matter rests until the
grand jury cCnvenes in September.

INHERITANCE
TAX REPEAL
w. X. Green, Chairman of
House Ways and Means
Committee, States
Position

Des Moines. Aug. 2l.---%--Thc
Des Moincs Register prints today "A
statement by w K. Green, Council
Bluffs, chairman of the Ways and
Means committee of the House OF
Representatives.. opposing repeal of
the federal estate and inheritance
taxes
After reviewing criticism levellcd
against the estate tax, he suggests:
81 propose that the full amount of
state inheritance and estate taxes be
credited on the federal tax, if the
latter exceeds the state tax
Neither Florida nor the District
of Columbia have any inheritance
tax" he declared. "rhere's the re-
suit that large nmber Of very
wealthy people have houses there.
The evil results of the states thus
bidding against each other for the
exemption of the wealthy are so ap-
parent that they do not need to be
stated.
"Another potent reason why the
federal inheritance tax should not
be abolished is that it furnishes the
only practical means Of reaching by
taxation what are commonly called
tax exempt bonds. which are exempt
from the federal income tax.
"There is considerable complaint
of the overlapping of the state and
federal taxes but the evils are not
so great in this respect as from the
practice Of many states in using
their laws to tax the property of any
non sident which they can either
directly or indirectly reach. In this
way some Of the property may be
taxed several times over

PUTS
MIX PLAN UP
TO JARDINE
Two Federal Chemists Sent
TO Test Wheat at Grand
Forks Laboratories

Adoption by the government OF
standard laboratory practice for
testing the protein content of wheat
is the aim of request addressed
by Governor A. G.. Sorlie to Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Jardine.
At Sorlie's request Jardine has
sent two chemists TO North Dakota
to inspect the laboratories at the
state mill and elevator at Grand
Forks. They will report to Jardine
with regard to Gov. Sorlie's request
At present, the Governor explained.
no provision is made for standard
method of testing protein. The re-
suit is that wheat which the North
Dakota growers allege to have GER
tain percentage of protein may be
tested by purchasers outside the
state and shown to have different
protein content.
Since, when wheat is sold on a
protein content basis difference
of one per cent of protein may mean
difference of 10 cents bushel
it would react to the benefit of the
benefit of the farmer to have a
standard test. Sorlie contended.
He also argued that adoption OF
standard test would aid millers
in purchasing standard North Da-
kota millers' mix which the execu-
tive hopes to establish in the near
future.
He hopes to have the agricultural
department station an expert chem.
list at the state mill and elevator al
Grand Forks and another at the state
agricultural college at Fargo who
would testify as to the accuracy Of
the tests made and certify them as
official.
