Comes Back OF Beat Disabled
World War Veteran

st. Paul, lfinn., Sept. 2S.-(R-
Governor Smith, Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, held up departure
of his special train today to play a
game of checkers with q war veter-
an at the veterans hospital near
Fort Smelling.
Before departing at noon for Mil
waukee, where he speaks tomorrow
night, the governor visited patients
at the hospital, and there espied
Patrick Meehan and Charles Nickel
deep in q game of checkers. After
watching the latter win, the COVER
nor said:
"Get out. You lost, Pat. I'll play
the champion.
Nickel got an early advantage,
capturing three Of the governors
men, including a king, in one move,
while his distinguished opponent
voice his disgust in his own playing.
But in q few minutes the governor
had turned the tables, did some even
more effective jumping himself while
cameras clicked, and wound up VIC
tor when his four remaining men
cornered Mickel's single survivor.
While Governor Smith was visit
ing the veterans, Mrs. Smith called
on r. T. O'Connor at st. Joseph
hospital, where the cnce national
figure in Democratic politics has
lain i'll for nearly three years. She
brought an autographed portrait Of

"Tell the governor I'll see him in
Washington" said Mr.. O'Connor.

| mean the northwest, too. I'm not

MOVES
AGAINST iYEGGS
Urges Organization of Citizens
Into Community Protective
Associations

Effort to organize the state
against further depredations by
bank robbers was launched here to-
day by Attorney General George
F. Shafer.
In circular letter to sheriffs and
states attorneys Shafer suggested
that the local officers organize the
citizens of each community into .
protective association with careful
and secret plans for dealing with
transient criminals. The sheriffs
and states attorneys were urged to
form such organizations in each city
and village in their county. Full CO.
operation Of the attorney generals
office is promised the movement.
In his lettlr Shafer pointed out
that five bank robberies have been
staged in North Dakota during the
last few weeks, with others in sur
rounding states. Most of the crimes
are committed by transient GRIM
mails who come here by automobile
during the harvest season and who.
find the automobile an easy means
Of making their escape.
Secrecy in preparing for the
visits of bank robbers is essential,
Shafer said, in order that the GRIM
inals may not be advised of plans
for giving them q warm reception
and thus enabled to avoid them.

 STARTLES BAY. STATE
Calls foe Record Breaking Roduc. ton of Taxeo in Sum of
 es,Soo, 900.

Boston. Jan. 25 (UP)-Massachu- setts legislators were asteunded to- day by Governor Alvan T. Fullerl annual budget message, which called for . record-breaking reduction Of 33,5oo, 900 in the state tax for 1928.
 If the executives plan is followed by, the legislature. the state tax. which the commonwealth leyies on cities and towns to meet tho excess of expenditures over revenues. will te cut from Sl2,ooo.ooo to $s,Soo.- 900.
 Except in 1913 and 1916. ths state tax invariably has exceeded the figure set by Governor Fuller for the. current year.. and in 1920 and 1921. tho tax rose to the un- precedented height of t1@.ooo.ooo.
 The astonishment with which legislators greeted tho executives proposal was due largely to tho realisation that state expenditures ins1s:s will touch . new high level because of salary increases and the extensive building and highway program3 Expenditures will aggre- gate Sb3.6so.s72.sl.
 Due to the 1897 economy pro- gram and an increase in the in- heritance tax, however. the governor started this year with . t6,oo0,oo0 surplus. He has expressed determi- nation that this money be returned to the tax payers
