gasoline tax. Here's a chance to get
some of the improvements.
But you've got to ask for it at the
polls. The people in the cities are not
going to give it to you. 1t is going to
take rural votes and a lot of them.
Every farmer and his wife and all the
men and women in the cities and
towns who have the welfare of the
whole state at heart must vote for the
amendment if we succeed Remember
this, too, that all who do not vote on
the amendment count against it,"
Mr.. Swenson also reminded the
voters that passage OF the amendment
will lead to improvement of many
miles Of neglected township as well as
county roads. With an additional fund
from the gas tax, the counties grad
ually can take over and improve more
and more of the township roads, he
said. Or they may use some of their
county funds in aiding the townships
as many counties now do.
The money from the gas tax will
be spent under direction of the county
engineers and county commissioners
in cooperation with the state highway
department, he said, and the highway
department would approve the pro-
jectS as it does now on the one-mill
aid This would prevent use of the
money on isolated or disconnected
roads, Mr.. Swenson said, and it would
be used where it would do the most
good

MINING MAN GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
THE PERTINENT CAMPAIGN ISSUE

out these problems in satisfactory
and reasonable manner. If those
chosen do not do so, our recourse is
to elect others to take their places.
There is one fundamental issue
which has been party issue between
the two major political parties for
years and which is of the greatest
importance to the country in general
and to the inhabitants of this valley
in particular. That issue is the tariff.
The Republican party is and always
has been for protective tariff. The
Democratic party is and always has
been for a tariff for revenue only.
The Democrats declare this year for
tariff that win maintain competi-
ton; that must mean foreign COMPETE
ton.
"The Democratic candidate, seeing
the trouble he is in now, has publicly
declared that he is opposed to the well
known policy of his party on the tariff,
hoping that this will quiet the fears
of the people; but everyone knows
l.iat Congress passes the laws and that
he will not be able to control his party
on this issue if he should be elected.
what we want is good volume
of business with fair prices which will
provide steady employment at good
wages. 1t is contrary to all experience
to hope for this result under such a
tariff as the Democratic party pro-
poses.
Wages abroad are less than half
what they are in this country and
water transportation enables the foreign
manufacturer to deliver goods at
points on our Seaboard much cheaper
than the home manufacturer can.
Every pound of steel purchased in this
country from foreign manufacturer
replaces pound of steel which other
wise would be made at home. Wages
and earnings suffer accordingly. I'm
der low tariff the result would be
felt in every factory, home and store
in this community.
1--WE will all agree, am sure, that
our community is more prosperous and
that we enjoy better living conditions
with present high wages than we did
prior to the war when wages were less
than half what they are now. There
are more automobiles, pianos, radios,
washing machines and other devices
which make our homes more pleasant
and attractive than formerly.
Prosperity has been general for the
past eight years and am sure we
all want it to continue.
Therefore, I am going to vote for
Herbert Hoover because I am sure he
is for protection to American indus

HOW TO KEEP WELL

The cancer menace is being check
ed by the forces of education. Spread
ing knowledge of the symptoms of
the disease in the press, from the plat
form, and by scientific organizations
is reducing the toll. These are state
ments from the bulletin of the Com
mittee on Public Health Education of
the Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton issued today.
Cancer exists in animals" says the
bulletin, "in fact, it is very common in
many domestic and wild varieties. The
Ger progresses, the way it can be
grown in culture, the per cent of CAN
GERS appearing to belong in one class
ferent types take from their first ap-
pearance until the death of the indi-
vidual affected; date of this type is
being accumulated with increasing &C
curacy and magnitude. 1t is giving
us an easily available fund of informa-
ton; putting at our disposal the COM
bined experience of thousands of doc
tors. 1t is making us familiar with
its characteristics both common and
unusual. But as yet the questions,
and what keeps them growing so, once
they are started, are unanswered. Some
theories seem more plausible than
others, but that's the best one can
say for them.
stand out pretty closely, however. One
is that there are many varieties of
cancer-some rather slow growing,

new parts of the body easily and
quickly, others spreading with appar-
ent difficulty. The other, that the
earlier the disease is recognized and
the earlier an operation is performed,
the greater are the number of people
cured. Our information is already
sufficient to warrant the assumption
that If cases were recognized early
enough, practically all cancer could be
cured by operation. 1t is only the adj
vanced cancer, or the most malignant
types, or those arising in such parts
of the body that they cannot be re-
moved without loss of life, that are
incurable even at the present state of
our knowledge.
"This is why such an effort is being
made to disseminate the facts al
ready known. In no field has this
been done better than in connection
with cancers of the breast The gen.
eral public, as well as the medical pro-
fession, now recognizes that lump in
the breast should always be viewed
with suspicion until proved non-malig-
nant. Whereas thirty years ago pa
tients let breast tumors go on the

fore consulting a doctors, now the
average time elapsing is three months.
And it is even better than it sound.
for many come at once upon discover
ing lump.
when one turns to the subject of
cancer of the rectum, however, one
finds a different situation. AS far as
the general public is concerned, it Is
still back where cancer of the breast

was thirty years ago. The average
length of time between the beginning
of symptoms and the making of the
correct diagnosis is one and two-thirds
years. A recent review of some six
thousand cases showed the appalling
condition that almost half of these did
not come to doctor until the condi-
ton was already far advanced. A Wig
orous spreading of information on the
subject will undoubtedly do much to
improve this.
"The first thing noticed in cancer of
the rectum is some irregularity in the
bowels This is usually increasing
constipation, with short periods of nor
NAL movements Another early symp-
tom is pain in the back everything the
rectal region. 1t is usually not severe
nor constant but it is a warning that
thorough physical examination
should be had. A third early indica-
ton is bleeding. This combination
should always suggest the possibility
of cancer of the rectum. 1t means
thorough examination of the rectum
should be done without delay"

The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,
of which Mr. James A. Campbell, is
President, is interested with Pickands,
Mather & Co. in the Biwabik, Zenith,
and other mines in the Lake Superior
District. Chas. M Schwab, Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, interested in
Pickands, Mather & Cos operations at
the Corsica, Zenith, and other Lake
Superior properties, has taken the
same stand as Mr.. Campbell in support
of Mr.. Hoover.
The following is an interesting COM
ment by Mr. Campbell on the coming
National election:
I'VE are all interested in the result
of the coming Presidential election.
What effect will it have on the coun-
try in general, what effect will it have
on this company in particular and,
finally, what effect will it have upon
sales, production, employment, wages,
earnings and dividends?
These are vital things which affect
all of us, in our every Jay life. AS
Mr.. Hoover has pointed out, back Of
every home is job and back of every
job is an intricate system of bust
ness finance, transportation and
commerce. Any disturbing factor
which throws out of adjustment this
involved and delicately balanced Struc-
ture is bound to make itself felt ulti-
mately in every home in the land.
Il take it we are interested as citi-
zens and not as professional politi-
clans or candidates for office, and that
we are not, therefore, SO much con-
cerned with the personality of the man
who may be President, provided, of
course, he possesses the qualities which
fit him for the position. We are, how
ever, vitality concerned with the poll
cies which he and the party in power
will put into effect and carry out.
1T seems to me, therefore, that we
should pay no attention to the bally-hoo
which is going on in his campaign, as
in all campaigns, but should give ser
ious consideration to the fundamental
issues which affect the prosperity of
the country and the security and hap
pineSs of our homes.
This is big country with diversi-
fled interests. Legislation suitable to
Iowa, which is a farming state, for
instance, might be detrimental to
Pennsylvania, which is a mining and
manufacturing state, and vice versa.
Members of the Senate and members
of the House always have and always
will differ about these matters. If we
elect able, reasonable men for these
offices we may expect them to work

RURAL VOTERS
APPEALED To
(By Oscar A. Swenson of Gas Tax
Committee.)

(By Oscar A. Swenson of Gas Tax
Committee)
"Vote for Amendment No. / and be
sure to urge all others you know to
mark the ballot in the Eyes" square
after this amendment. Every availaple
vote in the country districts of the
state must be mustered if opposition
in the three large cities is to be over
come"
Members of the Gasoline Tax
Amendment Committee sent out this
last urgent appeal this week as they
made final plans for gettings out as
big vote as possible in the country
districts of the state.
An unprecedented vote is expected
in the three large cities, because of
the great interest in the presidential
contest, members of the Gasoline Tax
Amendment Committee warned, and,
most of the big city dailies opposing
the amendment, Tie bulk of this vote
likely must be counted against the
amendment.
Registration of voters in st. Paul
reached the surprising total of $780,
900 when the registration period end
ed october 20. The registration in
that city never has exceeded 101 WI
before this election, and even with
this registration of 900 four years
ago the total vote cast was only 3D.
600.
Registration of voters in Mime
apolis ran up to $4,000, while the
highest previous total was only 49,
600.
But there are enough votes in The
rural communities to swing the tide
for the amendment if we can get all
who ought to be interested in the
amendment to go to the polls and vote
for it," said Representative Oscar A.
Swenson of Nicollet, who is vice-preSi-
dent of the Gasoline Tax Amendment
Committee and chairman of the high
ways committee in the lower house Of
the Legislature. Passage of the
amendment means dollars and cents
to the men on the farms and the
cities and towns that depend on the
country, and it is up to us to get out
all the votes we can"
The amendment would authorize the
placing of a third of the proceeds of
the gasoline tax in the state road and
bridge fund, so that it could be distri-
buted out to the counties for use on
secondary roads. If the amendment
were in effect now, Representative
Swenson said, each county would re-
ceive minimum of $4,000 and posi-
bly, as much as $4,000 from the gaso-
line tax collected this year The
amendment makes no increase in the
tax whatever, he pointed out, but
merely allows the use of third of the
proceeds on the secondary roads, which
long have been neglected while the
state built up fine trunk highways.
81 would like to ask the people out
in the country who must use the side
roads if this $4,000 or $4,000 ism
worth working for" Mr.. Swenson said
"You have been paying for good roads
in the form of motor vehicle tax and
