MODERN ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The banquet staged by the Washing
ton Board of Trade for the two French
airmen, Major Dieudenne Coste and
Lieutenant Maurice Bellonte Monday
night was heard throughout the coun-
try and enjoyed by thousands. Of
course, an event of this kind would
have only been local a few years ago
and the American public would not
have had the opportunity of hearing
the educational talks given by no
tables present, if it had not been for
the radio and it's disregard for dis
tances. The voices of Vice President
Charles Curtis, Major Coste in his
wholesome French dialect and Cap
tain Eddie Rickenbacker were heard
in their natural tones and the words
they uttered made one marvel at what
has taken place and what is to come.
Rickenbacker, hero of 1917 and the
dreaded menace to the German army
who single handed brought down %
German planes gave a brief review
of what had taken place in the world
in the past twelve years, comparing
the trip just made by the French fly
ers, of approximately 400 miles
across the ocean, to that proposed
at the end of the war when the prob
lem was to develop planes with motors
capable Of travelling 700 miles, the
distance from Berlin to Paris with
what gas could be carried.
Speed is the essential, said Ricken-
hacker, and the radio and the modern
age represents speed in every sense

not entirely unfeasible
The fathers and mothers of the
present generation do not want wal

that great struggle back in the sixties

be assessed at much lower percent
age of their actual value than is in
come producing real estate.
The exorbitant tax on the farm is
placing the load where it is least
able to be borne and is Gripping an
industry which above all others in
our state should be encouraged to
prosper.
There are but few sources of origi-
nal wealth and in Minnesota the farm
is the main source. The farmer mixes
soil and sunshine to create something
of value for which dollars are paid;
the rest of us are simply playing and
trading with the wealth so created.
1t is not only unjust but an economic
folly to discourage such an industry
by failure of reward for it's labor or
by imposing upon it so large share
of the tax burden.
Our present property tax is grossly
unfair to the farmer for:
His tax cannot be avoided or
evaded;
His business requires a large prop
erty investment as compared with his
income;
His property is often much too high
ly assessed
Unlike many industries, he cannot
pass his tax along by adding it to the
selling price of his product.
This tax, fixed upon the value of
his property, exacts the same toll
from year to year. In fact if he i'm
proves or even beauties his property
it becomes higher.
It is the same whether crops are
good or poor. If struck by hail or
burned up by drought he still has to
pay, there is no reduction in taxes.
If economic conditions are such as
to cut in two the price of his product,
the tax remains the same.
He must pay even if it cuts into his
living. If he does not, heavy PEN
alties are imposed and if not redeemed
his farm or little home is taken away
from him.
Meanwhile the fiat boy" is still
pulling down his $4,000 to $4,000 per
year or more and paying the small
tax on his desk and typewriter out of
pocket change.
Farm and home owner, how long
are you going to stand for this?

and according to the program and the
attendance their efforts have not been
in vain.

state to get his and her shoulder to

MEN SHOULD NOT CONDEMN

Much is said jokingly and serious
ly about women driving automobiles
and the latest appeared as follows in
the form of a joke in an exchange
paper:
Another thing that seldom turns
out like you think it is going to. is
the car ahead of you driven by a
woman"
This all is very well in a joking
spoken about the feminine sex and
enjoyed, but nevertheless it is a pre-
vailing idea among the men that a
woman is uncertain and dangerous at
the wheel of an automobile, when as
a matter of fact she can drive with
more common sense in many cases
than most men.
There is one thing certain, and es-
pecially is this true out in the rural
districts, she is seldom seen behind
the steering wheel of a car weaving
a hazardous course down a thickly
travelled highway in an intoxicated
condition. And as a matter of fact
we can name any amount of women
that are capable and do go on long
trips through cities and thick traffic.
1t has also been heard voiced that
man is much more capable behind the
steering wheel of a car because he
has had more experience than a wom-
an and is more steeled to danger SC
that in the event anything happened
that called for quick decisions this
experience would carry him through
This sounds good in theory and OF
course goes a long way toward being
true but there is such thing as get

Yes there are many cases where
women have been known to cause
tragic accidents but it is also goo(
for men to take stock of their owl
talents along this line and try t

Mile Laos County Times: A survey
of the schools in Philadelphia recent

without a mid day meal because their
parents were unable through poverty
or unemployment to afford it. This
condition exists in most of the large
cities. And on the other hand there
are millions of bushels of wheat that

There are not enough speed cops along
the highway to arrest all careless
drivers, but more of them would get
their just deserts if all motorists
would follow the example of the party
here Sunday night when they took
after a man who caused an accident
and brought him into town for trial.
Some of these drivers bulldoze their
way through traffic and make others
slack up or take to the side to avoid
them and get by with it, but if such
offenses become much more common
the travelling public will have to band
together and see that they are not
allowed to practice their dangerous
stunts on thickly-traveled highway.

The people should be aroused to
the menace of the concentration of
banking wealth. The process of this
concentration has been going on for
several years but in the past two
years has received great emphasis
through the growth of sO-called group
banking. Through the organization
of banking groups the control of some
two hundred or more northwest banks
is now centered in the Twin Cities.
The process is still going on and if
development along this line is as
rapid the next two years as it has
been the past two years, practically
the complete control of the banking
resources of the northwest will be
centered in the two largest cities of
the state. 1t is not necessary to elab-
crate upon the menace contained in
the possibilities of such control.

BULLET 7 AKEN
FROM TONGUE

PARIS, June 27.--A woman
who has lived and talked freely
with q revolver bullet in ner
tongue for 10 years has just been
found.
The case is recorded in the
medical reports Of .he Bruxelles
Medical. The woman in question
came to q doctors office and
complained Of a tickling sensar
ton on her tongue
The Doctors examination
showed q slight mob or bump on
the tongue. A slight incision
showed the mob to contain q
metallic substance. Baffled for
an explanation, the doctor or
dered an X-ray taken, the plates
revealing q lead bullet in her
tongue.
The doctor removed the lead,
which weighed 21a grammes, and
which fitted a fairly large caliber
revolver. Upon questioning. the
patient admitted that IL years
previous she had been shot
through the cheek with revol-
yer, but she thought the lead
passed through both sides. She
herself did not know that the
lead was for IL years lodged in
her tongue.

Mitchell for information he may have

bankruptcy and other cases.
Informed In Memphis of the New

the resolution "comes as q shock and
a great surprise to me-" but that he
was confident of the ultimate outcome
and assured of vtndication."
Citizens Complained.
La Guardia said he had waited
patiently" for action by the Depart
nnent of Justice on complaints against
the Judge by citizens of Memphis, but
that none had been forthcoming" The
resolution would call specifically for in
formation on persons charged with
narcotic law violations who defaulted
and failed to appear for trial and whose
bonds were later reduced.
1t also would seek reports in the pos
session of the department concerning
the failure of the American Savings

record of loans made by the bank to
Judge Anderson or members of his
family"
Some Information Anonymous.
Representative Taylor, Republican,
Tennessee, inquired If the information
against the Judge was anonymous"
La CSuardia replied:
some of 1t and some Is easily iden-
titled.
There is nothing anonymous in the
fact that this judge requires receivers
in bankrupt estates to deposit in the
American Savings Bank q Trust Co.
the funds of the bankrupt.
There is nothing anonymous in the
fact that certain man was repeatedly
named receiver and that he did not
account in many bankrupt estates, and
to this date there has been no proper
accounting in many cases which re-
suited in losses to citizens, many in my
own city"
