Changed Attitude
Toward Tax Groups
Officials Now Regard Them AS
Right Arm in Bringing
Down Taxes

Public officials in nearly every
county are changing their attitude
toward groups of citizens who are
organized in an effort to lower
taxes in the State Officials now
have come to see the justice of tax
payers demands, since these de-
mands, for the most part, have
been consistent with good govern
mental practices. At the start these
taxpayers groups were met with
hostility, but today in many count
les their cooperation is sought, be-
cause officials now realize that
these taxpayers have nothing ex-
cept constructive criticism to offer,
and that their work is in the public
interest, officials ofthe Minnesota
Taxpayers Association state.
We are today building up feel
ing of good will, and we are get
ting the best of cooperation from
officials who have come to realize
that they have available especially
in the State Association such a
vast amount of statistical informa-
ton and that this data is given to
taxpayers without change. This is
done so that all levies can be acted
upon in the light of present needs
and past experiences with the
hope that a program of public
economy can be carried out SEN
sibly and contructively, the tax

Cliff Defends Legion
Stand Upon Vet Aid
National Committeeman Addresses
Faribault Business Men at
Recent Meeting

The American Legion is asking
for payment of adjusted compen-
sation certificates and for federal
aid for disabled veterans because
it feels that it has a legitimate
right to request these payments.
Earl v. Cliff, of Ortonville, told IS
Faribault business men at a re-
cent joint meeting of service clubs
and Legionnaires.
Mr.. Cliff, in his aggressive and
sincere manner, cited specific rea-
sons why Legionaires resent the at
tacks being made upon their organ
ization by the National Econonv
League. Declaring that the aims of
the National Economy League, if
adopted, would force state and To-
cal governments to carry on the
nationwide disqualification program
now shouldered by the federal gov
eminent, Mr.. Cliff pointed out that
as a result, individual property own
ers will find increased tax burdens.
IF this Economy League pro-
gram succeeds, your tax burdens
will increase" he said. Veterans
suffering from tuberculosis, spinal
meningitis, and mental cases, the
burden of whose care is being
borne by the federal government,
largely from income tax collections
would be placed upon state, coun-
ty and local taxpayers who are not
as we'll able to pay as are those with
large incomes who pay into the fed
eral government"
In answer to the charge that vet
Grams legislation is class legislation,
Mr.. Cliff declared that if there is
such a class, it was created by con-
gress through the draft act and
that the government itself is re-
sponsible for this class. Pension

Trichinosis Meat Danger
Warning Issued by Doctors
Buyers of Whole Hogs for Family
Use Advised About Cooking
to Protect From Parasites

st. Paul Nov. 14-The practice
of buying whole hogs and beeves
for family use prompts a trich-
inosis warning from physicians of
the Minnesota State Medical AS
ISOLATION today.
Shortage of money has caused
many people to buy large quanti-
ties of meat for home use who
never cured nor prepared it for the
table before, the doctors say in a
bulletin issued today.
They do not wish to discourage
the practice. But they issue spec
ial warning to all these thifty
people that pork, especially, is
quite likely to be infected with a
parasite called the trichina ana
that special care is necessary to
prepare and cook it safely at home.
Never eat any sausage even the
home made variety in which all
the meat has not been thoroughly
cooked, they counsel. All of the
pork especially should be well cur
ed and cooked before it is fit to eat.
The trichina is "a parasite of rats;
hogs acquire it by eating rats. The
parasite, well protected and en-
capsulated, is lodged in the muscle
tissue. 1t comes to life when it is
taken with food into the intestinal
tract of another animal. Then it
goes through an entire new life
cycle in the course of which it may
cause its host a great deal of pain
and illness and possible death. The
trichina sets up an inflammation
first in the intestines, then finds
its way through the blood stream
to eventually subsiding into a cap
sule where it may remain without
giving further trouble for an indie
finite length of time.
Trichinosis is serious matter,
the doctors conclude. 1t should not
in the face of need
for economy and thrift. Scrupulous
care to cook all meat will prevent
the disease in humans.

'Bear Flag" Symbol of
Republic of California

In the early days California was
isolated from the other Spanish pos
sessions in America by mountains,
deserts and poor communications,
and after Mexico won independ-
ence this region became even less
answerabie to central authority. It
enjoyed practical autonomy while
the rest Of Mexico was engaged In
internal strife. Americans and
other non-Mexicans settled in Cal
ifornia and assumed importance in
Its affairs. After 1910 it became
apparent that California would not
remain much longer under even the
nominal authority of Mexico, but
the new landholders were divided
in opinion as to what the future
status Of the country should be.
Some favored annexation to the
United States; others advocated a
British protectorate. During this
period Of hesitation war broke out
between the United States and Mex
leo over Texas, the former Next
can state which had become an in
dependent republic and then an
nexed itself to the United States.
Col. John G. Fremont took adj
vantage of the situation, seized
Sonoma, and on July 4, 1916, pro-
claimed California a republic. The
banner of the new republic bore a
bear, and this was the Bear flag
that Fremont hoisted.
Among those besides Fremont
whose efforts speedily effected the
conquest Of this region were Stock
ton and Kearney, and on August Is,
1916, the republic Of California
was annexed to the United States.

legislation, he continued, did not
start with the civil war and is not
a new thing, it has been in vogue
since 1885. In 1906, a service PEN
sion law was passed, which had no
regard for the origin of disability.
Conditions following the world
war, he said, were those of price
imitation, and vast expansion, and
returning veterans had to meet
hard competition with those who
stayed at home. In previous wars,
soldiers could be compensated with
land, but as no land is left to COM
penate world war veterans, the
logical alternative is to reimburse
them with cash. Many veterans
feel, Mr.. Cliff pointed out, that If
the government has money to loan
everyone else, it can afford to pay
its debt to the veterans.

Patrol Submits
Monthly Report
Drunken Driving is Costly as Well
As Unsafe On Minnesota
Highways

The report submitted to State
Highway Commissioner Babcock
by the state highway patrol of it's
activities for the month of October
is summarized by recent highway
bulletin and indicates that drunken
driving, in addition to being haz-
ardous for other motorists, is ex-
pensive for those who attempt it
and run foul of members of Min
nesota's highway patrol.
Out of a total of u arrests for
traffic law violations, IS were for
driving while drunk and resulted
in fines aggregating $2,538.50 in
the month. Other arrests included
3 for operating vehicles with i'm
proper licenses; Z for carless driv-
ing; for failure to stop for arter-
ial highways; Is for overweight
loads; and 1 for improper parking.
In the effort to correct equip
ment Irregularities, tags were issu-
ed to 1917 drivers. Among these
were % for defective brakes; SO be-
cause of no rear-vision mirror; 80
on account of rear license plate
not illuminated; 239 for lamps out
of adjustment; TAI because of un-
lighted rear lamps; 444 one head
light out; 81 on account of glaring
lights and 113 because of no clear
ance lights on wide vehicles. Tags
issued for this elias of violations re-
quire corrections to be made and
certified to by officially authorized
garages and lamp stations within
48 hours. Failing this, the offend
ing motorist automatically subjects
himself to arrest and penalization.
Patrolmen issued tags to 355 mo-
florists because of operating their
vehicles with improper licenses. OF
these 1T were operating under
conditions which called for the dis
play of Minnesota licsense plates.

Why It's Popular

'The great popular success of

Psycho-analysis, as it is interpreted

want to do are the things we ought
to do. A very attractive creed.
"Psycho-analysis reminds me of
