Jap Artillery Shifts
Shanghai was informed today

leaders, was to take over the
command of forces fighting the
stubborn Chinese.

for customers to pay their bills by deposits
in convenient banks instead of mailing
checks with this result:
Formerly the government received two
cents as postage on the mailed bill and an
other two cents on the envelope containing
the customers check. If the new scheme
had worked out it would have received three
cents postage on the mailed bill, another
three cents on the envelope with the remit

or total of eight cents. But under the ar
rangement devised by the patron it now re-
ceives only one cent. Many bills formerly

Former increases in newspaper postal
rates caused many large publishers to adopt
truck delivery over wide areas, at a saving
to them and at consequent loss to the gov
eminent. And so on.

it tries to impose higher rates than the

A PROBLEM FOR THE STEARNS
COUNTY TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION

The question of taxation is a serious
problem
In the past twelve months every county
and almost every city, hamlet, school district
and other units who spend public funds, have
made an honest endeavor to reduce their ex-
penditures
The total result has been saving to the
taxpayers of the state of more than eight
million dollars.
Meanwhile
Floyd Olson has been Governor of this
great state.
What has happened?
This year the state tax levy for 1882 is
the highest that the state has known for
many years.
Several days ago the state tax commits
sion made public compiled statement of the
state taxes by counties, showing the increas-
ed levy this year, and what it amounted to in
actual dollars.
The State tax commission is headed by
]. G. Armson, of Saltwater, a Demo-
crat. He has held this position for many
years because of his unquestioned qualifca-
tions for the position.
This tabulated statement by counties is
published elsewhere in this weeks Herald
A perusal of the statement will disclose
that Stearns county's share Of the increased
tax burden under Mr.. Olson's administration
is $64,8O in round figures.
The grand total covering every county
is astounding.
Every department which comes under
the direct supervision of Governor Olson has
increased it's personnel; the salaries of those
appointed have been increased over those
received by the predecessors.
The Herald editor pondered over the
tabulated statement issued by the state tax
commission, and we wondered if Stearns
county could afford to pay $4,000 and more
dollars to retain Mr.. Olson as Governor.
Last winter an active Stearns County Tax
payers Association was organized. They
nave delved into the expenses of the county,
and rightly. Through their efforts many
tax leaks have been closed.
Earle Brown, Republican candidate for
Governor, by his party platform is commit
ted to reduce the state tax burden by at least
$5,0OO,O0O annually.
AS good citizens interested in reducing
the tax burden of it's fellow citizens, and
they are, the Herald would suggest that the
Stearns County Taxpayers Association con-
slider seriously whether Stearns county can
afford to pay $4,000 additional dollars year.
ly to retain Mr.. Olson as Governor.
The Herald editor doesn't believe they
can.

DODGING HIGH POSTAGE

Another illustration of the fact that rails
ing prices does not always increase revenues
is seen in the recent increas of letter, postage
from two to three cents. In fact, this has
been seen in numerous postal rate increases
in recent years.
The new rate has caused marked de-
crease in first class mail, and postal authori-
ties now advocate return to the two cent
rate.
For example, a firm which formerly sent
out thousands of bills each month under two
cent postage now sends postal card state

WOMEN FOR CONGRESS

No less than ii women have received
nominations for Congress this year, and are
now actively engaged in their election cam
paigns. Of these, five are present members
seeking reelection. One, Senator Hattie w.
Caraway, of Arkansas, who was chosen to
succeed her late husband for the remainder
of his term, seems sure of being elected for
a full term of her own.
Of the four women seeking reelection
to the House, three are Republicans and one
is Democrat. Of the nine new aspirants,
four are Democrats, four are Socialists, and
one is a Republican. All four Socialist can
didates are from Pennsylvania, which also
offers one Democratic aspirant.
The most prominent of the new women
candidates for Congress is Judge Florence E.
Allen, who has been justice of the Ohio Su-
preme Court for II years, and is Democrat.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida,
daughter of William Jennings Bryan, was
defeated for the Democratic nomination in
her district in the recent primary, although
she is conceded to be one of the ablest women
ever to serve in Congress- It is said that pro-
hibition was factor in her defeat, her OPP
ponent being an avowed "wet," while Mrs
Owen leaned toward the "dry" side.
1t may be recalled that Miss Jeanette
Rankin, of Montana, the first woman ever to
be elected to Congress, served only one term,
1917-1919, being defeated for reelection
largely because of her opposition to the entry
of the United States into the World War.
She, too, was an exceptionally brilliant wom-
an, but her pacifst tendencies at a time when
patriotism ran high caused her undOing.
