The plan provides that all wage earners of both sex be com pelled through the proper chan nels of legislation to contribute a small portion of their monthly wages to a fund to be known as the Free Giver'S Fund It is con- templated that contributions would he made as follows: Those earn ing from $50 to $10O per month

Another referendum on which the chambers were unani- nous is the desire for adequate legislation by Congress to author ize the U. s.

 Commissioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley states to the Delegate that he has made it plain to all interested persons that the fish traps which were temporarily closed in Alaska in the season of 1881 must either be closed perlna- nently in 1882 or operated by their owners. The only exception is the case of traps between Luck Point and Cape Chacon. He further states that if any of the companies desire to close any traps temporar- fly in the season of 1882, other than those which were temporarily closed in 1931, favorable action would probably be taken thereon.

A LUCKY TAX

The last half of the 1890 real estate
taxes were so recently paid that it
is very fresh in the memory OF most
people because the taxes were more
of burden to many this year than
in former years. There is one tax,
however, that any man is lucky to
have to pay and that is the income
tax, whether state or national. The
reason he is lucky to have to pay such
a tax is because his earnings are good
because it will not hurt and because
his economic condition is good. No
one need fear an income tax because
it will not be levied against those
whose earnings are small and who
would be pressed to pay it. In Mime
sofa, however, We have no income tax
to pay as yet, but it is law that
should be passed when the legisla-
ture meets again-at the first oppor-
tunity, for it is now functioning to the
advantage of the people in half the
states in the Union. Yes, we repeat
there is one tax that a man is always
lucky to have to pay and that is the
income tax.

AGAINST BONDING

Editor Askov American:
Notices have been posted by the
Board of Supervisors of Kettle River
township for special election to be
held at Willow River on Saturday
Nov 81, 1881, for the purpose of bond
ing Kettle River township for the
sum of $500. Now that there is
nothing so urgent about the road
building in this town don't think the
taxpayers want any such bond issue
floated.
The only way you can prevent il
is turn out and vote mo" next Satur.
day.
There is quite strong agitation fol-
the bond issue and it may carry il
you stay home and don't vote.
Instead of floating bonds think we
should spend less money and cut down
taxes instead of raising more and
spending more and thereby raising the
taxes higher and higher.
I think this is poor time to think
of bonding when people can't pay taxes
as they are too high now. Be sure
and vote.

Mrs. Edith Steinbring has been ap-
Homes committee for Markville.
This is the eleventh nationwide
campaign for Better Homes in Amer
lea. an educational organization es-
tablished for public service in the
interest of home improvement. Pres
ident Hoover is honorary chairman
of the organization and Secretary Will
bur is president. The headquarters
office is in Washington, D. C. with
DR.. James Ford in charge as execu-
tive director.
The Better Homes campaign is de-
signed to stimulate the improvement
of housing conditions and bring about
a more wholesome type of home and
family life. The programs carried
out by local committees are deter
mined by the needs and conditions
in the community. Features include
lectures and discussions, exhibits,
contests, and where possible the dem
onstration of one or more new or re-
modelled houses to show how the bet
ter types of homes can be provided
for families of modest incomes at a
cost within their reach. Care and re-
pair programs as a means of reliev-
ing unemployment during the winter
are being emphasized again this year.
These programs eliminate in Better
Homes, Week which in 1882 will be
from April "a to May 1. .--. -.

FACTS, PLEASE, NOT
PROPAGANDA!

The State News of Minneapolis,
under the above caption carried
an excellent editorial in behalf of
the state income tax in its cur
rent issue and in few words told
where the opposition to the pro-
posed tax comes from and why
all this noise about ''just another
tax" The News editorial follows:
The fight to defeat the state income
tax amendment is on. The special
interests are already quietly marshal
ing their forces to defeat this amend
ment at the polls next November. Ev-
cry weapon within their reach and ev-
cry agency at their command will be
used to stop the income tax because
the income tax is the one tax that hits
the moneyed interests alone. The
farmer, the home owner and the small
business man, who are today bearing
the burden of taxation in Minnesota.
will not be affected by the passage of
an income tax only insofar as that it
will shift the heavy burdens upon the
backs of those who are best able to
carry it.
An income tax is the only hope that
the average citizen of Minnesota has
of lessening his tax burden and the
contention that such tax will only be
"just another tax" is manufactured by
those interests which are opposing the
passage of the amendment
The big bankers and their affiliated
interests, which will be hit directly
by an income tax, will attempt to
throw smoke screen around this is
sue by contending that an income tax
will only place at the disposal of our
state government more millions to
spend. They will attempt to make
the people believe that an income tax
cannot, and will not, be replacement
tax, and that it's passage will not de-
crease the state levy. If it were not
at this time imperative to reduce our
tax millage there would be no necessi-
ty for an income tax or any other kind
of an additional tax, but the cost of
something must be done to reduce the
real estate and land tax. The mem
bers of our state legislature under
stand we'll enough the temper of the
people, and upon the passage of the
income tax amendment will so legis-
late that the average taxpayer will be
benefited directly by the passage of
the amendment.
The passage of the income tax
amendment will be a mandate from
the people to the state legislature to
designate the income tax as replace
ment tax regardless of the interpreta-
ton which the big interests may at
this time, or any other time, place

GOOD NEWS

The word seems to be going the
rounds that we have now passed the
economic crisis and that things here
after will be on the upward trend.
This is mighty good news and GER
tainly no one in Pine county or for
that matter the entire country will
feel bad if times gradually pick up.
The depression has lasted long enough
and when the farmers do not get good
prices for their products the first to
feel it are the small town business
men in villages like all of those in
Pine county. Not alone is business
depressed but folks are more or less
depressed mentally when times are
hard and there is strong tendency
for neigbors and otherwise friends to
bubble and quarrel over matters that
would otherwise be considered trivial.
Better times and an atmosphere of
friendliness and cordially will be
most welcome. And when the times
improve will be a good time to profit
from what the country has been go
ing through the last few years, that
10 " hOSp uppei hioSl III ouI hiuuS
that We must labor for a better dis
tribution of the enormous wealth that
we have in this good country of ours.
During prosperous times we are so apt
to grow fat and lazy with the result
that lean times come again through
the few having too much and the
many not enough. The programs for
the wealthy are put over when the
masses are well fed and carefree.
That is when men are elected to office
who will do the bidding of their mas
tiers in the way of favorable tariff and
other legislation that is not in behalf
of the masses.

there since an Indian woman was bur-
led there recently. All kinds of stories
are told by witnesses" of the alleged
phenomena. This reminds us of the
stories circulated thirty-five years ago
about mysterious flying machines seen
over various Minnesota cities, before
such machines had been invented.
The daily papers contained news dis
patches from many cities and towns
in the state certifying that the lights
of flying machines had been seen over
the place. There was great excite
ment for a time, and the whole thing
proved to be nothing but imagination.
