the campaign this summer and fall.
Representative Cole in discussing the
matter said after referring to the way
the bill was held up:
weeks passed and the bill was not
reported out. I asked democratic
member of the committee why. He
told me that the men in control OF the
legislation, not the members of the
committee, did not want it acted on
until just before adjournment when
it would be too late to bring up any
other farm legislation. He said they
were framing the bill for q veto so
as to have a political issue. Every
member who voted for the Haugen bill
knew he was voting for veto and
not bill"

might have a campaign issue this cleo

one of the best friends Of the farmer

seem in the light of the charges by
Messrs. Brookhart and Cole that the
opposition of these farm leaders, So

the political scheme they started with
the effort to hold up the McNary-

HOOVER SUPPORTERS.

A sincere, nation wide effort is be-
ing made to get away from even the
implication of an obligation which
may be associated with the solicita-
ton of large sums of money for dis
charging the expenses of Presiden-
tial campaign. There has for many
years been growing feeling that the
holder of the highest office within the
gift of the Republic should owe his
position solely and singly to the peo-
pie he is chosen to serve. This senti-
ment has crystallized this year in the
effort sponsored by the National Gen.
trail Committee known as the Hoover
Popular Subscription Fund, of which,
in this state, j. E. Gould is director,
working in conjunction with Hon. Ray
Kern of Lake Elmo as chairman and
Rudolph Lee of Long Prairie as
Treasurer
This organization has sought to
create in every county of the state a

If there is any such thing as graft
tude in the human heart, every Ger
man citizen in America should vote
for Herbert Hoover. 1t was Hoover
who stood up in the dark days FOL
lowing the armistice and insisted that
the women and children OF stricken
Germany be fed and they were fed
Most German families in Todd county
have a relative back in the Fatherland
who can tell of Hoover's mercy. When
the food supplies coming over con-
sisted solely of wheat, corn and beer,
it was Hoover who said, Little babies
cannot eat that. They must have
milk" and it was Hoover who saw
to it that they got the milk. All these
things are matters of record and his
tory. 1t is a pretty poor memory that
cannot go back ten years. Yet the
other day we heard German born
citizen on the streets of Long Prairie
say, st am not going to vote for Hoo
yer because he made me eat barley
bread during the war" Yes, we all ate
barley bread in Todd county during
the war, and we ate it so that the
boys over across could be sure OF get
ting white bread and then later so
that the little children of Germany
could get milk and the old folks food.
Let's think back a little ways. If there
is such a thing as gratitude in the hui
man heart, every American citizen
who had relatives in the stricken war
zones whether they were Germans,
Poles or Belgians, should remember
Herbert Hoover whose first thought
was to be an angel of mercy when
most everyone else was thirsting for
blood.-Long Prairie Leader.

the national campaign in furtherance
Of the ideal here briefly stated. That
canvass has been made or is in pro-
gress with more or less intensity
throughout the state, but even where
it is most energetically prosecuted
great numbers of Hoover supporters
will be missed. To those who have
not been approached this article is
directed and it is earnestly hoped that
they will take it as a personal invi-
tation to make the contribution sug-
gested, or a larger or smaller amount,
as they may desire, for the purpose of
electing a truly peoples candidate for
President.

A prominent railroad official in
talk in st. Paul is quoted as saying
that his company pays $1,000 a mile
in taxes and that Part of this money
goes toward the betterment OF schools
and for the development and main
tenance of highways. This item has
hurt the railroad business because 1t
encourages automobile driving in pre-
ference to travel by rail-" This may
be true in some states through which
this line runs, but it is not true in
Minnesota. The railroads pay gross
earnings tax "in lieu of all other
taxes" This goes into the state
revenue fund, and not cent OF 1t
goes either into the trunk highway
fund, the state road and bridge fund
Estate add or any local road fund
The railroad and corporations which
paw a gross earnings tax do not even
paw a motor vehicle tax on trucks
and other motor vehicles they own.
The state supreme court has held that
they are exempt on the ground that
the gross earnings tax is in lieu OF all
other taxes.
