Washington, October let is the
concensus Of private opinion that the
visit of Premier Macdonald has
brought about partial solution of
problem in Washington that far over
shadows questions of naval disarma-
ment The high-hatted officials of
the Department of State who were at
their wits-end to preserve harmony
during the fateful visit of the British
leader stumbled on a bright idea.
They found a formula, as effective as
naval ratios between governments, to
bring about peace in official society.
The rumpus stirred up as to where
to seat Mrs. Gam, the hostess of the
Vice President and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, is still very
much the topic of conversation. Yet,
the innovation of stag parties for Wis
iting notables lessened the wind on
the sails of the social set.
1t is reliably reported that stag par
ties will now be the rage. OF course,
it will be necessary to have social
functions and all their trappings, but
a precedent has been set by Secretary
of State Stimson which will probably
increase in popularity. One of the
most troublesome features Of enter
tanning in official Washington has
been been the uncertainty of who's
who and why The Gam incident
is something more than~a joke for

POULTRY SHOW IS
SET FOR DEC. 2, 3, 4
The Annual Pine County Event VIII
be Held Again at
Pine City.

At the meeting of the officers and
directors Of the Pine County Poultry
association at Pine City last Satur-
day, the dates of December 2, and
4 were selected as the time for hold
ing the annual show. 1t was decided
to again mold the show at Pine City
and also to make an effort to secure
a larger building in which to stage
the exhibition. Last year the show
was held in the Village hall but with
the entrance of over 500 birds, this
building proved to be somewhat small
1t was also decided to invite Mr.. l..
D. Masterman of st. Paul to act as
Judge. provided his services could be
secured on the dates set The entry
fee was again set at 35c per bird with
the premium money to be about the
same as last year. The association
also voted to purchase rs coopS to
help take care of the coping of the
birds, for in previous years, the show
has had to borrow coops from the
Chisago county show and pay rental.
Although this number of coOps will net
take care of the entire needs of the
show, it will reduce considerably the
amount of rent to be paid and save
the association money in the end.
Plans were also made to stage a pro-
gram on one evening of the show,
having a talk by the judge and pos

All poultry keepers are invited to

serve Will be Established I'm Pine
County.

Another meeting was held at Pine
City last Friday to consider the eff
feet of the proposed forest reserve in
eastern Pine county upon the tax
situation in the area affected. The
entire county board was present and
also Senator A. S. Larson, Represent
ative ]. E. Therrien, VIM. H. Lam
commission, members of several town
boards of eastern Pine county and
representatives from some of the
bonding companies holding town and
school bonds in the territory.
F. F. Vaughn of ClovertOn, acted
lining briefly some of the questions
that have necessarily arisen in con-
nection with the proposed taking of
some parts of certain townships for
a federal forest reserve. The meet
ing was largely in the nature of a
to express an opinion and to propose
any remedy they might have in mind.
The conference lasted some three
hours during which time the problem
of tax delinquency and defaulted bonds
was wrestled with bravely, but with
out any definite action being taken.
During the meeting the represent
ative from the forestry department
stated that he doubted very much if
the federal government would choose
the proposed location for establishing
a forest.

Law
|NTERP RETED
Village Officials Will Hold
Over Through New
Election Act.
Villages Formerly Having
March Elections Will Vote
in December.

An act relating to the date of cleo
ton and terms of office of all elective
officers in villages or boroughs and
fixing the fiscal year in villages or
boroughs was passed during the last
session of the Minnesota legislature.
The village election date was thereby
changed from March to the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Decem-
Der of each year Since this change
has been made the following inter-
probation of the law governing this
phase of government and the term to
be held by those holding office at the
present time by virtue of the last cleo
ton has been handed down by the at
torney general:

upon villages not now operating I'M
der Laws 1925, chapter 4, as amended,
that is, villages which have not an
assessed valuation of $4,000 or more
per capita of population according to
the last federal census.
'In these villages the last village
election was held in March, 1929.
There will be no election until De-
cember, 1880. The law specifically
provides that there shall be no March

was not intended to have the first
election under the act until Deem
Der, 1880.
"At the December, 1880 election Of

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. Is, 1929.
ASkOv American:
The Philadelphia papers stated
that Walberg pitched the best
game of series. Immediately after
the game over two thousand people
tried to shake hands. 1t required
fifty officers to protect him from

Phil SileSky.
The above telegram was received
from Phil Silesky, Pine City merchant
who was present at the time of Wal
berg's triumph and goes to show that
Pine county was justified by its faith
in it's native son, George E. 'Rube"
Walberg in the fifth and last game of
the Worlds series at Philadelphia, Pa,
when he held the Chicago Cubs score
less for the remaining four and one
third innings after they had garnered
a commanding lead of two to moth
ing off the offerings of Howard Ehmke
in the early frames. Walberg was
called to the rescue in the fourth in-
IL.
which is very disturbing position
for any pitcher. He struck out the
first batter to face him which hap
pened to be Malone, the Cub pitcher,
making that gentleman register the
45th strikeout for his team during the
series, thus breaking the worlds rec
ord for strikeouts> being marked up

Manager Mack Likes SOuthpaws.
Although the pitcher was not the
one who struck the blows which end
ed the game and won for the Athlet-
les, Walberg held the Cubs in check
and made the win possible. Manager
Mack has the following to say about
his left handlers:
81 heard stories that the Chicago
batting order, loaded with sturdy
right-handed hitters, were poison to
the southpaws. Now while l had
every confidence that either Grove or
Walberg could start games and win,
decided TO play it safe and use these
two pitchers solely as relief curvers
and open with right-handers. The
plan worked so successfully that the
scores show that Grove relieved twice
and was not scored on, while Monday
Walberg came in after Ehmke left and
was just as effective as Grove had
been. Walberg never faltered but
moved the Cubs down like a reaper
cutting ripe wheat. He blanked them
with two hits and made victory pos
sible. The Cubs may be able to hit
some southpaws but Grove and Wal
berg proved quite impressively that
they couldn't worry Them
During the four and one-third in

out six and allowed only two to hit

TAXES DISCUSSED
FOR FOUR HOURS.
Meeting I'm Wilma Town Hall Last
Thursday is Addressed by
Several Speakers.

A tax meeting was held at the Will
ma township hall in eastern Pine
county last Thursday afternoon which
was attended by about 80 people and
was addressed by Geo. w. Empey of
Hinckley as the principal speaker.
So many tax meetings have been held
in eastern Pine county the past year
which likely accounts for the small
attendance.
Harry Duncan of Wilma township,
opened the meeting. Eli ROnnback
and AdOlph Solem from st. Louis
county, president and secretary re-
spectively of the Farmers Mutual
Taxpayers association of their county,
were in attendance upon invitation.
Mr.. Ronnback was asked to be chair
man of this meeting and presided
throughout the four hours of it's de-
alterations.
Tax Rates.
Geo. w. Empey was the first speak
er and was well prepared with his
numerous maps, charts and figures.
taking up about an hour and a half
for his talk. Mr.. Empey said that all
are interested in taxes but it is a
subject little understood. The power
to tax is the power to destroy, to con-
tiscate. The urge has been to levy
more and more taxes. The average
tax rate in Pine county for 1929 on
which taxes are paid in 1929 was 1921
mills, said the speaker, and added
that the rate should not go over a
total of 100 mills in any school dis
trict. The highest rate for 1928 in
district 115, Belden township.
Delinquency.
Mr.. Empey said that Prof Chapman.
forestry expert from Yale univer-
sity, came to Minnesota to look into
matters and found that there was
tax delinquency on 100000 acres
here in 1926 and the acreage increased
to 100000 in 1928. The tax delin-
uuency in northern Minnesota amount
ed to S2S,557 900. In Pine county the
tax delinquency in 1923 amounted to
$674s79.32. The state of Michigan
now has ten million acres of tax de-
linquency.
The speaker lauded Governor Theo-
dore Christianson several times for his
economy program, took a rap at the
school inspectors and for their de-
mands upon local school districts and
said the trouble is that there is too
much of a tendency to keep up with
the Joneses."
Mr.. Empey said we must not over
tax wild lands and as it is now going
it is headed for state ownership. He
cited the situation in Beltrami county
where the state came to their rescue.
The speaker said there must be a
closer valuation of lands and a bud
get should be worked out, figure out
the expenses from year to year. The
tax sales are not solving the problem
as only one-fortieth of the lands Of
fered were sold at the last sale, said
the speaker. Figures were given to
show the per capita tax at different
periods in our history, federal, state,
and local, also the school taxes, point
ing out how they have mounted. The
speaker suggested that tax reductions
be made on some of the wild lands
