and redistribute it. BY greater ap-
roads etc., the money from the rich
centers would find it's way back to
where it was earned. This would
tend to throw the burden off those
who are taxed to death. This in turn
applies to national aid to the various
states. as money becomes centralized
it is absolutely necessary to re-dis-
tribute it, or industry won't be able
to function.
Another favorable feature in con-
nection with the income tax law, is
that a number of salaried people who
have up to this time paid nothing to
maintain the governmental institu-
tions, which benefit them more than
anyone else will have to pay their
fair share. Salaries drawn from the
National government are not tax ex-
empt from the national income tax law.
Why should state salaries be, school
teachers, county officers, and all other
state employees should pay their share
to maintain the institutions from
which. they derive the most benefit.
Why should a farmer with an invest
ment of $4,000 on the average farm
pay a hundred dollars taxes out of a
$1,000 income, and $4,000 and even
$4,000 a year state employe go scott
free, from sharing any burden. The
reason for this is that the represen-
tation in our legislature and former
governors, have assumed that the
political support of the state employees
and others who are exempt from taxa
tion, is worth more than the real
estate owners, and consequently have
winked at this state of affairs until
the whole state is in trouble. 1t is
now up to the taxpayers to put stop
to such horse play and impress our
state officers, with the fact that they
won't be reelected unless they remedy
this condition. Separation from the
government payroll is now, as it has
always been the best incentive for
government officials to do good work.
Yours sincerely,

DANGER AROUND THE CORNER

Editor ASkOv American:
Some of the members of our county
school, and other boards are spending
some of their sleeping hours in the
vain effort to figure out just how much
money will be paid into the treasures
in taxes to pay out on the current
expenses, including interest on unpaid
bonds and warrants. 1t is rather late
in the day for some of them, as they
should have considered these things
before they were led astray by the
siren song Of the promoters" All
these improvements, necessary and
unnecessary, must be paid for; and
the original cost is only half of the
total cost. Every ten thousand dollar
bond carries away much more than
ten thousand dollars in interest and
additional expense" The Hinckley
Sewer Bond of $4,000, opened the way
for the village board to issue Village
Warrants to the extent of twenty-eight
thousand dollars, extra necessary ex-
pense," at per cent interest. In
terest on this (nearly) forty thousand
uolldI uCUI W
$500 each year;-in ten years nearly
or about twenty-five thousand dollars
more.-A $4,000 bond costing us over
100000.
The thing that puzzles me is why
people will jump into more debt as
soon as they see the condition easing
up a little. "A burned child breads
the fire." said the old adage. But
time after time we see the voters
rushing to the polls to vote themselves
into another burning" of debt and
high taxes. 1t is so easy to fool the
voters with the siren song.
Discount everything promoter tells
you about Improvements" For every
dollar you vote, he will spend four,
and interest will double it. Every i'm
provement of any kind whatever that
is built at public expense will be paid
for with your tax money.
The only remedy l can see would
be to fire every member of any board
that promoted a bond issue and elect
new board to spend the money, so

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page -

have been devoted to essential legis-
lation. Their languid indifference to
suffering may initiate against them
in the next election. Folks who have
endured suffering have long MEM
ories. Business groups are OF the
opinion that another session this
spring would definitely retard the re-
covery of industry because of the un-
certainties while Congress is always
in threatening mood.
The meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee here March 5 will
be of great Importance. 1t will have
much to do with the proposed reOr-
ganization which has been advocated
in many quarters where resentment
against the domination of Chairman
Raskob is felt. There is a disposition
to undertake a money-raising cam
paign to pay off the debts of the party
which Raskob had paid from his own
purse. The main agitation for this
buying up of mortgages emanates from
the dry" branch of the party which
looks on Mr.. Raskob's leadership as
a liability. Campaign contributions.
especially those to pay debts of the
lamented 1928 debacle, are not easy to
procure.
The Democratic high commands
deliberations may have a direct bear
ing on the control of the Senate and
House. Just now it is a toss-up as to
which party will control the next Con-
gress with Republicans and Democrats
alike willing to let the other fellow
handle the job. 1t is acknowledged
that the activities of the next Congress
will figure prominently in the 1882
campaign. Hence, the control ques-
tion is aptly described by a Senator
as "after you my dear Alphonse-but
l insist my dear Gaston,' parody on
an old cartoon.

SOLANA
RUTLEDGE WOMAN DIES

The entire community was shocked
to learn of the passing Of Mrs. Lewis
D. Jones Sunday evening, following
stroke Saturday evening. Sorrow did
not come to the Jones family single
handed. Mrs. Arthur Jones, who has
not recovered from her illness, but
is still confined to her chair, received
word Saturday of the passing of her
mother, Mrs. Lovejoy, who had been
making her home with her daughter
in Watertown, Wis. She was laid to
rest beside her husband in Fairhaven,
Minn., on Monday. Arthur Jones and
Nj. E. Cox left by car early Sunday
morning to attend the funeral and re-
turned Monday evening. Mrs. Jones
certainly has the sincere sympathy
of everyone. DR.. w. C. Ehmke of Will
low River, was called to Mrs. Jones'
Saturday evening.
The Veteransville club met last
Thursday evening at the home of Mrs.
NJ K. Granaas in form of a Lincoln
and Valentine party. Games and
stunts were played, followed by the
initiation of a new member, Mrs.
Lyman.
Miss Dora Sheen spent the week
end with her sister, Mabel.

in the legislature, for a few remarks.
Mr.. Hompe said that he was boy
OF Is when Lincoln was nominated to
the presidency, that Lincoln was
called rail splitter and aristocracy
was against him. Hompe said that if
offer on Lincoln it was that he was
not a good military man for if mil
lion men had been called out as VOL
unteers instead of $4,000 the Civil war
would not have lasted so long. Hompe
was but 16 when he enlisted. He is
now IS. The Lincoln memorial ad-
dress delivered by w. I. Nolan in the
House in 1919 was read from the Blue
Book by the reading clerk. The au-
thor who Is now congressman from
the Fifth district, like many flag
wavers, stressed the point that Amer
lea is too tolerant toward foreigners.
The Lincoln motto was malice to-
ward none and charity toward ALL
License Penalty Reduced.
Representative E. ]. Chilgren of
International Falls. and others had a
bill passed to lower the penalty on
delinquent auto licenses. The penalty
| is reduced $1.5O in the first month of
delinquency.
Representative C. E. Hubert Of
Eden Prairie, has introduced bill
to decrease the assessed valuation of
farm lands from >33 1 1870 to 2O%, de-
signed as farm relief measure. In
county like Hennepin which is the
home of Mr.. Hubert, it would give
some real estate tax relief to the
farmers if the bill is made law, as
there is so much other property
urban to be assessed, but in a coun-
ty like Pine where most of the prop
erty value is farm lands it would not
help much for the amount of money
levied for the various purposes must
be raised anyway whether the valu-
alton is high or low. If the proposed
state income tax brings in enough
money, that will give the help desired.
Governor Olson has baked little
on the spending of money by the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater associ-
alton, or at any rate wants to know
where the money has been spent and
for what purposes. He is for the deep
waterway to the ocean but would like
| to see it come to a head.
Wefald Gets Appointment.
Knud Wefald of Hawley, has been
appointed secretary of the state COM
mission of administration and finance,
succeeding Frank H. Nutter of Mime
apolis.
Though there has been no official
weighing in A. C. Knudsen of Storden,
a descendent of the old Vikings, is
believed to be the heaviest member
of the legislature. He tips the scale
at 264 pounds. The story is told that
one day he and another heavy set man
went to st. Paul restaurant, and,
seated at the table, they asked the
waitress if she could fill up a couple
of hungry men. Her reply was: eyes,
but we don't fill silos." The other day
when TONY" as he is called by his
friends, stepped onto the capitol ele-
vator-there being already ten pas
sengers-the elevator would not rise
more than two feet. 1t was lowered,
Tony and a friend stepped off, re-
leasing about 450 pounds, and the
elevator with its other passengers pro-
ceeded to the upper floors, much to
the enjoyment of the onlookers.
