Washington, September 30-One of
the greatest tasks confronting the
selected group representing the gov
eminent and industry in seeking read
justment is to sift few serviceable
ideas from the avalanche of panaceas
that have flooded the town recently.
While politics is obviously interviewer
in the patchwork relief it may be
said with conviction that every effort
is made to keep this bugaboo of nom
partisan committees in the back
ground. Many ideas are seemingly
plausible until subjected to the closest
scrutiny and eventually discarded.
Official Washington is honestly en-
deavoring to work out plans which
will permit state and municipal activ-
tiles to take first place. The economic
situation is such that only a foolhardy
politician would openly attempt to
make political capital from work to
alleviate suffering and want.
The menacing shadow of strikes
and labor disturbances is detected in
some quarters. The feeling exists
that organized labor, especially among
the railroad workers, will resist to the
utmost proposals for wage cuts which
are considered just around the corner.
Anxiety is felt because tie-up of the
rail transportation systems would
naturally effect the entire economic
life of the nation. The widespread

IN LUTHERAN FAITH

The Evangelical Lutheran church
congregation in the Bruno and Nick
erson communities, under the. direc-
tion of the Rev. Charles S. Rydell
held communion and baptismal serv-
ives Sunday. In the forenoon a class

baptized at the Vilstad church and

firmed at the Bruno church. At this
service several were baptized and
seven families joined the church. In
the evening six more were confirmed
at Nickerson.
The Rev. Rydell, who came to the
circuit six years ago from Aitkin, is
working hard to build up active con-
gregations and it is apparent that his
labors are bearing fruit. After being
in charge of these congregations three
years he was absent a year at which
time he was pastor of the Onamia and
Isle congregations. Two years ago
he came back to Pruno where he has
been since.

Colo, and Johannes Kousgaard of New
York state, who formerly was a farm
er in the Askov community. Two

PINE CITY FOOTBALL
TEAM LOSES G A M E

Pine City high school lost its first
football game of the season at Ait
kin Friday by score of 26 to O..
The trip to Aitkin was made by cars
and as it was somewhat of a siren
uous journey, the Pine City players
were probably not at their best in
the opening game. On Friday, Octo-
Der 9, the Pine City team meets the
strong st Croix Falls eleven on the
Pine City field and good game is
expected. ST. Croix Falls is noted for
good football teams so Pine City is
expected to have another hard fracas
on their hands. The game will COM
mence at O'Clock and will be played
at the fair grounds.

Need for State Income Tax
Becomes More imperative

Inequality in Tax Gathering.

champions and leaders in the fight

his statements Senator Bell says:
Our tax gathering laws are full of
inequalities. Many citizens are pay
ing too much taxes because others are
not paying enough or any. The fact
that our tax spending system is de-
fective is no reason why our tax gath

as to take out the inequalities. The
defects in our tax gathering system
are not local."
