warnings against yuetide fire hazards.
Fire broke out shortly after 9 o'clock last eve
ming in the false whiskers Of J.. Bruce Gluppsr. white,
SO, Of 345 Adkins street. Mr.. Glupper, a manufacture
or of hlotters. was playing Santa Claus for his three
children, Prentice, 5; Hemingway, 1, and Jane, ?, at
the time.
The flames were discovered at about $40. although
en- alarm was not turned in. according to Hose Com

firemen arrived they found the whiskers a mass Of
ruins. 1t was also pretty late TO do much about Mr..
Clippers face, although by heroic work the flames

men described as minimum. although MIR. Glupper
was inclined to question this point. An investiga-
ton to ascertain the reason for the lateness Of the
firemen in arriving is under way. Both sides tell a
different story.
Nh. Clippers version Of the delay was that he was
naturally a little embarrassed when he realized that
his whiskers were afire and that lie had violated one

1t seemed obvious. however. that he was conceallns

Mrs. Clupper told the following story;

ton, which at a meeting in the Old
Capitol building, ST. Paul, on May 1
unanimously adopted a resolution ia
voring the introduction of new and
just forms of taxation to reduce and
equalize tax burdens"
The Farm Bureau leaders, after
months of study of the Minnesota tax
system, are firmly of the opinion that
properly-drawn state income tax
would be an equitable method of Sc
curing the funds needed to bring about
reduction in the taxes on property
in rural Minnesota, and on the home
of the average city dweller.
But, the Farm Bureau leaders en-
phasize, they do not favor an income
tax unless it is so administered that
it reduces in part the present taxes
on tangible property. They are OPP
posed to any system that would merely
produce additional revenue to make
possible additional spending. The in
come tax they seek must reduce by
its full amount the burden of taxes
on farm properties and on the home
of the working man or the business
place of the small town merchant.
They have faith, they assert, that

committee hearings will be prolonged
so that Senators can devote their

is taken to mean that the Senate
Elections Committee will have an
other controversy on its hands in the
event she wins the election next fall.
1t viii be recalled that another can

Smith, from the same state, was de-
MED admission to the Senate because
Of the excessive .use Of campaign
funds. The Senate campaign COM
mittee believes it will have some
choice pickings and has already sent
Investigators into Illinois. There is

Business men who guage with rea-

the pronounced increase in resident

most of the residential construction

booms and slumps should be placed
under accurate examination with a
view to achieving greater stability.
To this end he proposes to appoint
an economic council or another COM
mission to give an intimate study to
the matter.

take the examination to get copy of

carefully. The examination, among
other things, requires very thorough

FRIGIDAIRE BREAKS
SHIPMENT RECORD

All shipment records of Frigidaire
Corporation were broken on April 30
when PA carloads of electric refrig-
orators left the plants consigned to
46 states and five foreign countries
The best previous days record was
for May 81, 1929 when 121 carloads
were shipped.
The new all-time record was estab-
liShed in less than two weeks after
the company began a million dollar
newspaper advertising campaign to
supplement its spring field activity,
according to E. G. Biechler, president
and general manager. The increased
advertising expenditure WAS pre-
dictated upon a record breaking first
quarter, IA 100 per cent increase in
show room visitors, and a newspaper
survey which showed an Overwhelm-
ing preference on the part of the pub
lie for Frigidaire, it was stated.
Three days before the campaign
started. every available member of
the factory sales organization was
sent into the field, to assist in more
than 100 district meetings which were
held to acquaint dealers and statesmen
with details of the campaign and in
struct them in the best ways to cap
italiZe upon the ADVERTISING Mr..
Biechler said. I'VE gave them all
thermometers and told them to use
them in sales demonstrations"
The first newspaper advertising
featured the fact that there are now
three times as many Frigidaires in
use as any other make of electric
refrigerator and more than all others
combined. One advertisement was de-
voted to ability of the product to
function perfectly in intense heat.
Thousands of dealers tied in with
the advertising campaign by use of
a special display window, showing a
household model, which although
subjected to burning heat still main
tanned refrigeration temperatures and
produced a continuous supply of ice
cubes. Thermometers and glass con-
tanners with contents boiling gave
ocular proof of the heat and the stur-
dy insulation which so successfully
withstoOd it.

enough and capable enough to work
out the system they favor.
The state income tax, many econom-
lists assert, would make it possible
for the state to collect from the large
class of high-salaried non-property
owners who are now going untaxed,
while property owners in moderate or
pinched circumstances are carrying
far too heavy load.

resolution are A. ]. Olson of Renville,

OVERLOOKING PARTY LINES.

Five Democratic votes were necessary to give the Hawley- -Smoot tariff bill majority of two in the Senate eleven Republicans having voted against it.. However the high tariff brigade says it could have had more Democratic votes if they had been needed What does that prove? That the tariff bill was worthy of greater support or that there were more off color Democrats?
 The fact is that notwithstanding that statements of Democratic National policies always declare for low tariffs and Republican platforms are always for the protective tariff, the tariff is really local issue, just as Gen Hancock said it was fifty years ago. Democrats are always ready to vote for high tariffs if they advantages for their par ticular constituents and Republicans are always opposed to tariffs that they believe the majority of their constituents oppose
 In other words can believe and support any principle set of principles he desires these days and be a consistent Republican a consistent Democrat That is why there is practically speak ing no Democratic Party in the Far West and Republican Party in the Far South. Differences in the South fought out in Democratic primaries and in the West in Republican primaries.

A GOOD COMMITTEE.

That is very satisfactory committee appointed by President Curtis to investigate the opera tion and management of the Alaska Railroad. All the members are Western men and all of them have been connected with large Western development work and made good.
 It is true that Senator Howell has already com mitted himself more or less to the belief that the railroad ought to be abandoned, but he is an en- gineer and a business who has accumulated wealth through his ability, and he has never been so optionated that he would not change his mind if further information indicated the need for it. Senator Thomas and Senator Kendrick are both big Both were long engaged in business and have had wide experience. They have been pioneers in development and have made fortunes for them selves in the process
 Alaska will welcome these three Western Senators and confidently believe that they will give the Ter ritory and everybody concerned intelligent and patriotic consideration and square deal.

BISHOP CANNON IS IN TROUBLE.

Methodist church members demanding that Bishop Cannon resign his Bishopric. Many of them, doubtless would like to force him out of the church. The lack of explanation for the disburse- ment for something than $480o0 that was ntrusted to him with which to fight the Presi- dential candidacy of Gov. Smith is the obstacle that his friends cannot induce the church mem- bers to pass with eyes shut
 If the Bishop had not lost so much money gambling the New York Stock Exchange he might return the money and be forgiven As it is he probably understands that when ministers get into politics the public will not grant them immunity for violating trust just because of their profession.

COMMISSIONER MULROONEY FOR
 DISARMAMENT.

Murdering and getting away undetected from the dead body of the victim that was left on the spot has become fine art; according to Police Com missioner Murooney of New York who is at the head of the Police Department of the metropolis because he is supposed to know all about such things. Commissioner Murooney is the first Police Commissioner of Gotham who developed a policeman and who has the whole of police activity from the bottom to the top And it is worthy of mention that he never has been accused of anything shady" He has nothing but laurels on the way upward Patrolman, Traffic Cop Detective, Lieutenant, Captain matter where-he has always made good, and his record is as clean as the proverbal hounds tooth.
 Commissioner Mulrooneys remedy for crime con- ditions that lead to murder is disarmament. Tn a speech at New York luncheon recently, he said:
 In murder case you must have of the two things: eyewitness con- fession.
