would be compelled to pay the same
rate of postage as charged Mr..
Shoemaker for that particular edi-
ton.
Referring again to the Herald
Mr.. Shoemaker said: "Mr. Wal
lace's paper, the Herald, the Mime
apolis Journal, and the other great
newspapers of the state, were lined
up on the side of property rights
and against the common people"
According to Mrs. Miller and Mr..
Shoemaker all the brains and poll
tical honesty of this state were
within the confines of the Farmer
Labor party. The Republican or
Democrat who voted for their par
ties as a matter of principle, were
probably honest in their convictions
but their mentality was questioned.
At the conclusion of the address
the Herald editor shook hands with
Mr.. Shoemaker and told him he en-
joyed his line of (bulD very much.
On the sort of campaign Mr..
Shoemaker is waging he cannot
hope to get anywhere. No man or
set of men ever won a political
campaign with personal abuse and
Misrepresentation as their back
ground.

Tax Hearing Set for
Tuesday, September G
Supreme Court Very Likely to Hear
Attack on Income Amend
ment First

st. Paul, Aug. 31-Suit filed in the
state Supreme Court to block pre-
sentation of the proposed income
tax amendment to voters in No
vember probably will be heard be-
fore disposition of a similar action
brought in Ramsey County District
Court, it became apparent today.
Hearing on the "unfriendly suit
filed directly in the high court by
E. T. Winget, Minneapolis manu-
facturer, has been set for next
Tuesday. Meanwhile, a legal move
by the attorney generals office to
block hearing on the friendly
suit" filed in District Court by Vic
tor E. Anderson in behalf of three
taxpayers was taken under advise
ment by Judge Richard A. Walsh
after demurrer arguments yester-
day.
Judge Walsh stated he did not
expect to reach a decision until
about the middle of next month,
leaving status Of the suit in doubt
until after the Supreme Court hear
ing.
Both suits contend the proposed
amendment is invalid on the
grounds that it proposes more tnan
one change subject only to one vote
on the ballot.
= Closing of the arguments, brought
on the demurrer filed in the
friendly suit by the attorney gem
eral, was marked yesterday by the
indirect entrance of the Minneso-
ia Income Tax committee, hacker
of the amendment, into the suit.
The proposed amendment con-
tains provisions for making state
laws governing national banks con-
form with national laws, authorizes
the setting up of state income
tax and contains a clause concern
ing the gross earnings tax of rail-
roads.
Contentious that the District
Court has no jurisdiction in the
matter and that all parts of the
amendment are closely realated to
each other under taxation were
made by Charles E. Phillips, deputy
attorney general and w. H. Gurnee,
assistant attorney general, in pre-
senting demurrer arguments.

Storm Damage Is Much
Less Than Was EXPECTED
Only One Culvert Washed Out On
Big Highway Job on the
WinOna Hill

Damage to state trunk highways
in the vicinity of Winona by the
storm which inundated that sec
ton recently was found to have
been much less than first reports
indicated, state highway bulle-
tin reports.
Although waters Of small streams
were raised to depths of 10 and Is
feet in a short time and caused
roads to be flooded over, where
bridge and culvert capacities were
totally inadequate to let the surge
of waters through, very little ac-
tual damage was done to trunk
highways, according to inspections
made by members Of the Highway
Department staff.
The construction project on
trunk highway No. west of Wi
mona sustained damage at but one
point where the fill above culvert
was washed out. This necessitated
closing the road to traffic until re-
pairs could be made. On other
routes there was interruption to
traffic for a short time while the
rush of water across the roadways
was on.

Former Sank Centre Lad
Is Famous Aviator
Continued From Page One)

Moose Jaw lawyer, with his
eye on a legal career.
But only a few months later
he joined the Canadian section
of the Royal Flying Corps. He
was just 20. In Ontario he took
his training and for a winter
at Fort Worth Texas. He got
his commission in May 1918.
Overseas bound, further
training was done in England.
But the signing of the Arm
istice in November, 1918, stop
ped Ingram's progress to
France.
War over Ingram, on his re-
turn to Moose Jaw was at his
law studies the day following
his arrival home. In 1924 he
was called to the bar.
For five years he practiced a
partner of J. E. Phillips, in
Moose Jaw. But he did not for
get his flying. During his stu
dent years he spent some time
with the Western Aeroplant
company a Moose Jaw COM
mercial concern which had
three old "jennies" as equip
ment.
An enthusiastic airman, he
was one of the sponsors of the
Moose Jaw Flying club in 1928.
He for one year was the club
instructor.
So good flyer was Ingram
that in 1929 when prairies
were being organized for the
department of aviation he Sc
cured the appointment as in
spector of civil aviation. 1t was
an immense territory he had
to cover in those days. From
the head of the lakes to the
Rockies stretched his flying
pasture. He opened the depart
ment's office in Regina.
In the spring of 1881 when
this huge district was sub
divided he was made inspec-
tor of Saskatchewan and AL
berta, a big enough territory
in itself.
Today by air, he wings
thousands of miles a year as
casually as any Regianan
would motor to Moose Jaw.
s~ His record is a good one.
One crack-up only has he suf-
fered, and that a minor one
, years ago at Vanguard, Sask.
Ask him whether he likes
flying better than the practice
of law. Ingram will smile
quietly. There is no question
in his mind.

were given control of this great
state. She criticised President
Hoover severely, praised Coy. Floyd
Olson, but-did not offer any rem

Mr.. Shoemaker is the editor of
the Organized Labor, without a
doubt the most radical newspaper
published in Minnesota. Early in
1881, he ran afoul of the Federal
Courts and was eventually sentenc-
ed to serve a year and a day in
the Leavenworth penitentiaryz for
contempt of court. He served
about half of his sentence and was
released, because, as he says, he
had discovered so much rotteness
in the management of the institu-
ton, and how innocent men were
railroaded into prison, that the Fed
eral officers were afraid of him.
and kicked him out of Jail.
Modesty isn't an attribute of Mr..
Shoemaker. He is in no sense a
shrinking violet.
He indicted President Hoover
with almost every crime in the hui
man category. He claimed his per-
sonal Investigations had convinced
him Of the facts of the indictments.

In the course of his remarks
Earl Browne, Republican candidate
for Governor, was accused of de-

charge and was clearly disproven
by the records months ago.
Mr.. Shoemaker had with him a

He stated thatethis particular issue

." of Many Employees

In response to the call recently
made by Governor Olson upon Of
fetal and unofficial groups of the
state for intensification of efforts
for reduction of street highway &C
cidents, Commissioner Babcock re-
ported that the fullest possible eff
forts of the state highway patrol
and all divisions of the Department
of Highways in that direction
would willingly be made, and cited
the yearly contest conducted be-
tween the different maintenance
districts for the best showing of
freedom from accidents through
out a; year.
District No. Is, F. o. Nelson,
superintendent, with headquarters
at Marshall won first honors in the
contest year closing June 30th as a
result of having had state owned
equipment involved in but two acct
dents. "It is not enough that an
employee should not have been re-
sponsible for an accident. He
must have done everything rea-
sonably possible to have present
it," Commissioner Babcock said,
and added that the large number
of employees that had operated state
equipment !. on heavily travelled
trunk highways throughout the
entire year with ''No-Accident" re-
cords was a source of qualification
to him.
AS the results Of a movement in
which the Department of Highways
is interested, and in the promotion
of which the American Legion has
given invaluable help, according to
Commissioner Babcock, more than
100 towns and cities in Minnesota
are now using the school patrol
plan. for, the protection Of children

Cattle Poisoned
| By Sudan Grass
Mysterious Deaths at Clarissa
Have Been Cleared Up by
Veterinarians Report

Mysterious deaths in two dairy
herds in the Clarissa community
have led the farmers in that vicin-
ity to make an investigation which
has resulted in a partial explana-
ton, at least Of the poisoning of
the cattle. It seems that in both
herds the cows had been feeding on
second growth Sudan grass and an
autopsy performed on the dead
cows showed traces of acid.
George w. Johnson, of Clarissa,
last week interviewed veterinarians
at the state university and received
letter from w. L. Boyd, which
may explain the deaths in the
herds of Oscar Mastrud and Ar
thur E. Nelson. The letter receiv-
ed by Mr.. Johnson is as follows:
I have conferred with several of
our people about the trouble which
you have been having with cattle
which have been allowed to feed on
Sudan grass. We are of the opin-
ion that the results are due to the
formation of prussic acid which is
highly poisonous. Our chemist has
advised that this poison will form
on plants at times under conditions
of drought and so forth, that inter-
fere with normal growth. We have
no definite information regarding
cutting of Sudan grass at this time
and utilizing it for feed but think
it would be entirely safe for feeding
to cattle. We do believe that 1t
should be thoroughly cured if you
do decide to use it for hay. If so
use small amounts of it and give it
to only one or two animals and
see what the results will be. If
! the animals show no i'll effects then
you can be sure it is safe to feed
to cattle, but certainly would
feed it slowly, however, and to only
one or two animals at time

Autos Meet Head-On
Four Miles From CITY
Continued From Page One)

The Huey car had crossed the
bridge across Ashley creek about
four miles west of the city when
they collided head-on with the Pom
tiac coach. The accident occurred
about 7:3O.
Leonard Westerberg was thrown
out of the Pontiac, landing at the
side of the grade. His left arm
was badly shattered at the elbow.
The other occupants of the coach
were more or less shaken up but
were not seriously injured.
Little Shirley Smith was riding
in the front seat of the Chevrolet
with Mr.. Huey. She was thrown
against the windshield, her front
teeth were knocked out, and she
was otherwise badly bruised about
the face and head. Shirley is
eight years old.
Mrs. Huey was riding in the back
seat of the Chevrolet. She was
thrown against the rear of the
front seat and was badly bruised
about the head. Neither Mr.. iHuey
nor Mrs. Gillette were injured. r.. 81
The cars were badly damaged. It
is not the province of this news
paper to attempt to place any re-
sponsibility for the accident.
Mr.. Westerberg was taken to the
Long hospital where he remained
until Tuesday afternoon when he
was taken to the New Asbury Hos
pital, Minneapolis.
There has been quite a general
report that his arm would be am
putated. The Herald has investi-
gated this rumor. The attending
physician stated that unless unlock
ed for complications developed am
putation would not be necessary,
but that he would probably always
have a stiff elbow.

believe in tax reform to the extent,
that the burden taxation will be
moro eol1itahlv distributed

Del1eVe IN TAX REFORM TO the extent
that the burden taxation will be
more equitably distributed.
A demand that the government
be returned to the people and that
the farmer and small home owner
be relieved of the cost of carrying
the increasing burden of govern
mental expenditures, was made by
Mr.. Swenson.
The two great issues are tax re-
duction and the return of the gov
eminent to the people, Mr.. Sven
son declared. To accomplish the
first, it is necessary to amend the
constitution. If the proposed state
income tax amendment passes this
fall, as it should, then the legis-
lature should see that the tax will
be replacement tax and that it
relieves the burden on real proper
ty.
Mr.. Swenson declared nothing is
so hindering national and state
business recovery as the depressing
load. Industry and buying power
cannot come back by advocating
and fostering more governmental
bureaus, more governmental activ-
tiles, more paternalistic functions,
which daily are increasing govern
mental expenditures, he said.
The only way the government act
ually can relieve the farmers and
all the people is to call a halt to
this spreading bureaucracy and it's
drain on the public purses, Mr..
Swenson emphatically stated:
While there is some excuse for ap-
propriating money for needed pub
lie works during these depressing
times, no such expenditures is just
ifiable unless the bulk of the money
expended goes to provide employ
ment for the workers rather than
machines.
Because many of the duties of
the railroad and warehouse COM
mission are closely related to agri-
cultural needs, farmers should
make every effort to have repre-
sentation on the commission, Mr..
Swenson declared.
Thousands of my friends
throughout the state who felt my
experience as a farmer and legis-
lator would qualify me to repre-
sent the farmers on this commits
sion, urged me to become a can
