INCOME TAX FOES
ASK ED TO TELL
SOURCE OF FUNDS
Farm Bureau, Attacked by Taxpayers
League, Asks Names of Donors
to Its Treasury.
(Farm Bureau Press Service)

CFarm Bureau Press Servlce)
A demand that the Minnesota Tax
payers league remove the cloak OF
anonymity from its membership was
made today by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau, which was attacked in Min
neapolis on June 16 by the league
The president of the league, ]. F.
Reed, criticized the paid or SUBJ
sidized propag andists who are work
ing in an attempt to foist on the pub
lie additional tax burdens-to raise
more money-to spend" AS the Min.
nesota Farm Bureau is the principal
organization in the field working for
the adoption of the income tax, it
holds that Reeds statement applies
to its officers, it being a part Of their
duty, as directed by the membership
to bring before the public the impera-
tive need for broadening of the tax
base through he adoption of an in
come tax.
The Farm Bureau has asked Reed
to state frankly whether his remark
was directed at its officers, has Of
fered that organization a report OF
its membership and the sources of its
finances, and has asked that the Tax
payers league be equally frank con-
corning the sources of it's income. The
Farm Bureau asserts that the Tax
PAYERS league is not financed by the
rank and file of Minnesota's citizens,
but holds that its principal income
comes from interests very much OPP
posed to any drastic change in the
present tax situation.
The Minnesota Farm Bureaus pro-
gram comedies with that part of the
leagues platform concerning the ne
cessity for rigid economy in public
expenditures, but it maintains that
practiced in all departments of local
and state government, real property
would still be paying far too great a
portion of the cost of government.
The Farm Bureau holds that Reeds
statement has drawn a clear-cut issue
between the league and the farm fed
GRAFTON, with the latter organization
working in the interests of the peo-
pie as a whole and the league work
ing for an unknown group. 1t is con-
sidered highly important that the
league give full and complete &C
count of its revenues if it is to make
a general appeal to Minnesotans to
follow its preachments, declares j. S.
Jones, secretary-treasurer of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau.
The membership Of the Farm Blu
reau is known, and it is also known
that no member pays more than SIS
annual dues, $3.50 of which remains
in the county for local use, 81 of
which goes to the Minnesota Farm
Bureau and fifty cents to the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau.

2O-POUND LAKE TROUT
MAKES NEWS AS ANGLER
DISAPPEARS IN WATER

When a man catches a fish it is
not news, but when a fish catches a
man, well this is the season of
the year when elastic yard sticks and
big stories abound but this one just
has to be told.
A man was fishing last week, so
the story goes. No it wasn't in Stur-
geon lake, although some mighty
fishy tales are spun from experiences
on that body of water. This fisher
man was supposed to have been fish
ing off the pier on a lake in Canada
with light rod and line when a
2O-pound lake trout either took lik-
ing to the bait cast to him or being
in a playful mood sought to have
some fun. Anyway the finny monster
struck the bait with such force as to
cause Mr.. Angler to lose his balance
and to be hauled off the end of the
pier into twenty feet of water. He
did not lose his head with his bal
ance, but, still clinging to his rod
and line, fought the fish in the water
until some men on shore noticed his
plight and put off in boat to land
both the fish and the man.
The fish was sent to the taXider-
mist and the man to dry cleaners.

OLD AGE is A MYTH
By Eugene B. Kuntz.

BY Eugene B. Kuntz.
Not backward do look, but ever on.
l laugh at Times oft-threat' ming
blow,
And look away from levels that ne'er
rise
To lifted heights that CLEAN with
golden glow.
past.
Nor for mistakes that often banter
me:
1t is the worthy conuuests still un-
won,
That in life's vision splendid can
see.
Past years tell me that soon Noyem-
ber's here,
Shall meet me on the way; that
solemn mood
Shall chain me fast in dull December
days,
And that I'll be engulfed by solf--
tude.
But though l hear, I give no anxious
heed,
For l we'll know that in my heart
I'm young;
That l still love to mingle with
earth's youth,
And join them climbing upward
rung by rung.
Old ages a myth to him who clearly
thinks
Life's youthful thoughts; who smiles
and laughs and sings
AS though each day were full Of
springtime's breath:
In him each day achievements call
upsprings.
So it's with me: new tasks before
me lie,
And newer victories that must be
won;
For, be it known, eternal youth is
mine,
And, 10, bask in its unsetting sun!
