If the Farmer-LabOr party Is
returned to power ALL of those
evaded taxes will be collected by
the state-and you, as a taxpayer
will benefit accordingly.
If the FarmerLabor party is
not returned to power NONE of
them will be collected-and you'll
continue carrying not only your
own taxes but those of the tax
dodgers as we'll.
The way you vote on November s

TAXPAYERS VS..
TAX DODGERS
CONTINUED from Page ~
What Tax "Relievers" Paid.


Names in the chart preceded by an
iasterisk ~ are those of six men
prominent in tax relief" associations.
Just how sincere they are can be seen
from the fact that the entire half
dozen paid a total tax of 5000. The
president of the Duluth association
paid % CENTS; the vice president,
II CENTS; and the head of the St.
Paul association paid exactly $2.44 in
1881 toward maintaining the state of
Minnesota.
Averages for Three Classes.
A partial analysis of the chart
shows the following averages for each
of three classes:
6 Tax "relief'' assOcia.
ton heads ---$ 1.S2 each
Railway officials - 9.95 each
s Bankers - 1913 each
Some railway officials. not all, but
some, are now sending canvassers to
shops, roundhOuses, ETC.. advising"
railway workers to vote either for
Earle Brown or John Regain, on ac-
count of taxes" If rail workers will
notice what taxes these officials pay
a great light will dawn upon them.
What Chain Bankers Paid.
Consider the half dozen bankers.
They are among the wealthieSt chain
financiers in Minnesota. Several are
millionaires, many times over. So
for the moment we'll lay aside their
personal property taxes and see what
they paid on monies and credits. the

emphasize importance Of View.

LONDON, September II P).-Arthur
Henderson, president of the Disarma-
ment Conference, who recently gave his
support to the German demand for arms
equality, said today he was not disposed
to over-emphasize the Importance of
the Berlin governments refusal to par
,ticipate further in the Geneva parley.
Mr.. Henderson made this statement
as he was leaving for Geneva to preside
over next weeks meeting of the Con-
ference Bureau, or Steering Committee.
1.-THE fact that the German govern
ment concluded its recent letter to me
with the statement that it would follow
the work of the conference with in
terest and decide its later attitude &C
cording to the progress made Is evidence
that the door is not absolutely closed"
he asserted.
His reference was to a letter from
Foreign Minister Baron Konstantin Won
Neurath, in which Germany gave formal
notification of her intention to remain
aloof from the Geneva discussions.
Concerning the necessity for definite
action at the arms meeting, Mr..
Henderson said:
ANY unnecessary delay could not
but arouse suspicion and seriously
prejudice any chance Of subsequent
success"
