During the campaign I stressed
the combating of unemployment as
the paramount issue. This is our
first task and it is big one, but into
it must 60 all the power and influence
of city government.
ITO build the trade unions to great
err numbers, power and influence is
to render effective aid in meeting all
problems we must conquer.
1T will be my endeavor to serve
you with the same sincerity and con-
scientiousness with which you all
served in the campaign"
The election of l. G. Scott, as alder
man from the Tenth ward in Mime
apolis, illustrates what organization
will accomplish. The old Tenth ward
in Minneapolis has always been good
labor territory when organization
functioned. 1t was the first of the
wards in Minneapolis to send labor
tie to the city council. This was in
1910. During the disorganization
period beginning with 1925 the ward
lost all its representation in the city
council. This year, I. G. Scott, for
mer alderman, was again elected to
the office.
A powerful organization has again
been built up in the Tenth ward, due
in large measure to the work of Mr.
Scott, which proved it's value in the
recent campaign. Mr.. Scott defeated
his principal opponent by more than
400 votes. Moreover, the vote in the
ward was consistent as is shown by
the large lead given Roy w. Wier..
one of labor's endorses for school,
board. The Tenth ward results DEM
onstrate what organization can do.

ministration he had given the people
during his years incumbency in the
office.
Both views are no doubt in part
correct. 1t seems to the writer, how
ever, that the Tribune is limiting at
the more fundamental cause of the
Anderson victory than is the Journal.
There can be little doubt that the
dissatisfaction of the voters generally
with the Hoover administration had
more to do with the overwhelming
victory which Mr.. Anderson won than
did the record of Mr.. Leach.
The Tribune very naturally adj
mOnishes the factions of the Repub-
lican party to get together and re-
organize the party on more liberal
basis. The point that this stalwart
organ of the Republican party makes
is that the Hoover program is not
satisfying to the people and that some
advocacy of reform is now necessary.
Of course, the voters cannot profit
by such methods. Any attempt to
re-organize the party of special privi-
lege cannot meet with anything but
disaster. The truth is no political
party has ever allowed itself to be-
come reformed or improved. Every
political organization was most pro-
gressive when it was first organized.
The demands of the times always
have to be met by new organization
formed for that special purpose.
Anderson Thanks Labor.
The Minneapolis Labor Review,
organ of the Minneapolis labor move
ment which endorsed and worked for
William A. Anderson, publishes a
statement from the Mayor-elect in
which he thanks the trades unionists
for the conscientious and intelligent
support and cooperation that they
rendered throughout the campaign"
Mr.. Anderson's statement reads as fol-
lows:
Through the columns of your Of
fetal organ, Minneapolis Labor Re-
view, / wish to thank all trade union
lists for the conscientious and intelli-
gent support and cooperation that
they rendered throughout the cam
paign.
Il wish to assure you of my desire
to cooperate with you in every way
possible for the obtaining of your OBJ
jectives with just as conscientious,
intelligent and sincere efforts as you
gave in the campaign.

ORE TAXATION
IS GOOD TOTAL
NOnpartisan Leagues Influence Gets
Occupation Tax for State; Mayor.
Elect Anderson Thanks Labor in
Minneapolis for Support in Election.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

The issue of Townleyism raised in
the recent city election in the City
of Minneapolis again suggests what
Townley and the Nonpartisan League
did for North Dakota and for Mime
sofa.
AS regards Minnesota, it may be
stated without fear of successful con-
fluence of the Nonpartisan League
that the tonnage" tax, or more cor
rectly, the occupation tax, passed in
this state. The same may be said
with reference to the royalty tax.
The state tax commission reports
that the income from the occupation
and royalty taxes for the year 1880,
was $3,7O3,528. This is a large
amount of money and represents gen.
uine relief for the taxpayers of the
state.
Total Tax sss,466,714.
The tax commission also reports
that there has been collected in oc-
cupation taxes since 1921, 31,025,126
and from the royalty tax, S7,441,58S.
This makes a grand total of S3S,466,-
ia that has been received from iron
ore taxation since the enactment of
the occupation tax law in 1921.
TOwnleyism is not so bad, Ehg
1t has, of course, been contended
by some that the occupation tax would
have been passed even without the
aid of the Nonpartisan League. This
seems entirely unlikely in view of the
history of this kind Of legislation in
the state of Minnesota. Even after
the Nonpartisan League had become
a power in the state, Governor ]. A.
A. Burnquist interposed veto of a
bill which had passed both house and
senate at special session in Septem-
Der 1919.
The Nonpartisans or Farmer-Labor-
ties, as they have since been called,
are entitled to full credit for the en-
actment of this legislation in Mime
sofa. The fact that tax of 6 per
cent is today imposed upon the net
profits of mining companies, is trace
able directly to the work of the
League and more particularly to the
League legislators, who in the 1919
session of. the legislature, introduced
the first net profits tax bill in this
state. That the tax is not more than
6 per cent is traceable to the Repub-
lican opposition in the senate. The
League legislators demanded and
voted for a tax of 10 per cent.
An Answer to Leach.
This is in the nature of an answer
to Brigadier General George E. Leach
and his lieutenants who attempted
to make Townleyism the issue in the
recent campaign.
Naturally, the victory of William A.
Anderson, Farmer-Labor endorsee to
the mayorality of Minneapolis, con-
tinues to be leading topic of dis
cussion. The Minneapolis Tribune
says that Anderson's victory is the
result of disorganization of the Re-
publican party and that the huge ma
jority polled by Anderson was strictly
in line with the victory of Shipstead
in 1928 and that of Floyd Olson in
1880. The Minneapolis Journal at
tempts a somewhat different explana-
ton and claims that Leach's defeat
was due mainly to the kind of adj
