FRED vIBERT SEES THE NORTH

Minnesota Arrowhead Association knows
his northern Minnesota as few men in the
state know it.. Most of all does Fred know the
beauties and the tragedies of the forestlands Of
the state. When the fires swept through those
forests laying low the towns of Cloquet, Moose
Lake and others of that vicinity Fred was living
in the burned section, suffered with his neigh
bOrs during its devastation and worked valiantly
to rehabilitiate it. His heart is still with the
Northland it years ago when men,
Der of the state senate he was of the few
far-visioned members to fight for conservation.
This background adds the weight of author
ity to his resume of the plight of the cut-over
country made last week in Twin City paper
and also adds the reasonableness of information
to his suggested remedies for retaining that
section with its more than sixty delinquent and
"gone-bad" acres. In view of the situation which
is bigger than any sectionalism can possibly be,
the Gazette believes its readers will find mater
ial for consideration and contemplation in what
the former senator says. -: -:
TT HE State was startled: BY the publication
recently Of figures furnished. BY. the
State Tax commission to the .reforesta-
ton rohmissioh, showing 6,554,626 acres delin-
quent and forfeited
"Ten million acres, of the fifty million in
the state, are not paying taxes. That includes
delinquent lands, lands owned by the public and
exempt lands. One-fifth Of the area is off the
active tax roll.
"Yet there has been plenty of warning Of
this situation. More than two years ago, when
the campaign for the forest tax amendment was
pending, the Arrowhead association put out an
article by p. E. Lovejoy of the Michigan conser-
walton commission, pointing out that 100000
acres in Michigan were then delinquent and that
total of 12,0c9O00 acres had gone or was go
ing derelict--and that Minnesota was headed for
the same plight.
"The amendment was adopted and the for

that more than 100000 acres were then delin-
quent in Minnesota, that delinquency was in
creasing at the rate Of 10 percent year, that

FRANK A. DAY

tn EATH slipped into Minnesota hospital the
other day and took Frank A. Day, best Of
country newspaper men, satrist humani-
tartan, picturesque character ardent champion
and equally ardent enemy. All Minnesota will
miss Frank Day and in the hearts Of the men
and women who have been associated with him
in the country newspaper world for the past
fifty years there is bleak feeling when the
thought comes that Frank Day is gone"
Frank wasn't always honest with himself or
his friends when he expressed his views on pub
lie questions, he wasn't always reasonable and
was seldom rational, but he was always lovable,
always interesting, always inspiring if only to
anger-and always cheap Of fun" Versatile
volatile and voluble-that was Frank, and the
like of him will not be seen again for many a
year.
Politician he was-sometimes with this par
ty and sometimes with that, but always
wherever things were thickest and hottest, sup
porting rather than party, and changing
horses while crossing the stream or at any other
old time-Frank was just Frank and in spite
of his idiocyncrasies an influence to be reckoned
with in campaign
Last Sunday they took what was left of
Frank Day back to his beloved Fairmont-back
to the town which his friends say he "put on the
map" the town which was second only to his
family in Franks affections. Friends from all
over the state met to honor Senator Frank A.
Day." the editor of the Fairmont Sentinel and
the "dean of Minnesota country journalism" In
the group were politicians and editors with
whom he had fought valiantly but never bitter
ly, whom he had worsted or pretended he had
whom he loved even while he disagreed with
them. All gathered with the people Of his
town to pay last tribute to this who by
right of sheer personality always the centre
of the group or the community where he hap
pened to be. And the tribute they paid was one
of sincere affection, with little smile of tender
remembrance back of the tear of regret that
Minnesota will know Frank no more.
The age of man is measured not by the
number of years he has lived but by the number
he shall be remembered. We prophesy fol

The year is not ended and yet the toll of
deaths from automobile accidents has reached
the 900 mark-the highest total ever recorded
in the citys history. The situation is getting
worse instead of better We agree with Coroner
Bundesen that it is time to call halt on slaugh-
ter.
No community justly claim to be civil
lied that permits the increasing sacrifice of life
from comfortable causes. The automobile has
become more dangerous than score of diseases,
and we do less to check it's ravages. We take
pride in having eliminated typhoid as a serious
cause of mortality, and let the deathcar ride
The automobile has become necessity of
our fast-moving age. 1t is one of the greatest
boons which applied science has given to us. Its
possibilities for good cannot be overestimated
1t has already worked marvelously for the adj
vantage of our people. But the curse must be
lifted from it. More than a thousand lives in a
years time is a tax too heavy to pay for even so
great q blessing-and that is the toll for a
single city.-Chicago Tribune.

WOMEN To URGE
EQUALITY

In accordance with President
Hoover's suggestion, a delegation
of the National Woman's Party
will call upon Secretary of State
Stimson to lay before him in
formation regarding equality in
nationality laws.
Mrs. William Kent, of Califor-
mia; Miss Gail Laughlin, Of
Maine; Miss Emma Void, of
Oregon, and Mrs. Abby Scott
Baker of Washington, have re-
quested an interview with the
Secretary. All Of the ladies COM
prising this delegation spoke to
the President yesterday in behalf
of the independent nationality of
women.
Nationality is to be one of the
three subjects considered by the
first world conference on codifi-
cation of international law to be
held at The Hague next March.
The Woman's Party asked the
President yesterday that he see to
it that the representatives of the
United States at this conference
stand for a nationality law based
on equality between men and
women.

BAT TIE
HAL:TS TAX
SLASH

The tariff and tax reduction
issues were interlocked in the
Senate today with Administra-
ton leaders seeking unanimous
consent to lay aside the tariff
long enough to pass the $150,000,-
900 tax reduction resolution.
President Hoover's spokesman
were trying to arrange a gentle
mans agreement to pass the
measure Thursday or Friday. II
they fail in their negotiations,
Senator Watson (R.) Of Indiana
will make q formal motion some
time during the week, probably
on Friday, for immediate con
Sideration of the tax bill. The
indications were it would pass
by an ample margin. Thus in
surfing enactment Of the bill be-
fore Christmas.
The tariff war meanwhile be-
came as partisan as 1t was IN the
special session. when Demo
cratic-Insurgent coalition re-wrote
a majority Of the Senate Finance
Committees recommen d a tt o n S.
The present fight was centering
around the wooden schedule,
which was pending at the time
Congress ended its special session.
Thus far, the Senate has ap-
proved a basic rate Of "a cents
pound clean content on wool, the
same rate approved months ago
by the House, and an increase OF
3 cents over the existing rate. it
also increased the rate on secured
wool to 81 cents a pound, as COM
pared to "a cents approved by the
House and 81 cents In the present
law.
The rate on wool ION the skin"
was fixed at 81 cents, compared
to 80 cents in the House and 80
cents in existing law. Then the
fight was abandoned for the vaca-
ton between the two sessions.
The principal battle this session
has centered around the wooden
rags rate, with the Senate Com
mittee's recommendation Of "a
cents a pound attacked as certain
to drive all cheap wooden clothing
off the market.
A resume of the wooden items
still In controversy. with the
rates proposed expressed IN
"cents per pound" follows:

the other fights abandoned by

wooden rags at 18 cents per pound.
The Senators from Eastern man

for a IL cents a pound rate while
the Senators from Western wool
producing states have insisted on

BY JESSIE A. KNOX.

More and more are women taking on
the running of two jobs by combining
a business career with housekeeping.
That this is being done, however, with
varying success most of us know, and
the business woman who wants to be
a good homemaker, too, will have to
learn to apply system and business
principles to her home that are very
similar to the ones she employs in her
Office. Hit-or-miss planning ends as
disastrously in one place as in the
other
1t is perhaps in the planning of meals
that most trouble comes. for without
a background of knowledge in how to
buy and in the preparation Of foods
that can be quickly cooked and at the
same time be appetizing, nourishing
and satisfying, meals are too often apt
to be sketchy. Nutritive requirements
must be as carefully considered, or, If
anything even more so, by the business
woman as by the average housekeeper;
for the former is frequently working
under an added nervous strain, and
food must be supplied that will meet
and take care Of this.
A great deal OF nervous energy can
be saved by working out q regular
schedule for household tasks that must
be done in the morning and after busi-
ness hours. Simplify these by applying

You can easily make a new chair
seat at home. Cut two rounds OF stout
cardboard from an old box and round
of stout cloth large enoueh to lap over
| the cardboard for the under side OF the
seat. For the top side, cover with Gre
tonne and tack down with brass
headed tackS. The seat will be very
durable and costs practically nothing
to make. Another way to make chair
bottom is to take o tow sack and color
it any bright color you prefer. Then
cut it in strips inches wide. then
turn in the raw edges on each side,
bringing the edges together, and stitch
them on the machine. Now you have
your strips ready to work in as chair
splints are worked in and out. This will
make a beautiful chair bottom.
Paste oilcloth on the kitchen table
instead of using the bare top, and 1t
will be much easier to clean Take
little -four, mix with cold water to the
right consistency to spread on the back
of the oilcloth and smooth 1t down on
the table top, carefully pressing out al
air bubbles. Press down well around
the edges, and when dry you will have
table top that will give almost the
same service as porcelain. Place under
the oilcloth a piece of heavy brown
paper and the oilcloth will wear much
longer.
TO avoid soiling window curtains by
