OLSON is FOR
TAX REVISION
Continued from Page ~

of millions upon millions of dollars,
every dollar of which the taxpayer
has had to foot.
This is an important phase of the
tax problem, because if tax-dodging
can be stopped, the taxes for the
farmer and the home-Owner will be
proportionately reduced. The Repub-
licans dare not face the issue because
they are controlled by those wealthy
tax-dodgers and special interests.
Tax Revision Needed.
To-day as never before we need a
revision in our system of taxation so
that the cost of government is borne
by those who can best afford to bear
it. That is a cardinal principle that
we will have to recognize. Govern
ment cannot endure under the present
hardships imposed on the home owner
and the farmer; it must collapse when
the owner of real property cOllapses
underneath his heavy tax load. He
already is beginning to give way.
IF the railroads of Minnesota were
to pay taxes on their property on the
same basis as the farmer of Mime
sofa pays taxes, which was 63 mills in
1881. last year they would have paid
total of $10,50O,0O0.
They pay on the basis of gross
earnings, and last year actually paid
about $4,S0O,000.
Now, here is a case of outright
discrimination in favor of railroads
as against the farmer and home
owner.
my Republican opponent, Mr..
Brown, promises to reduce taxes, if
elected governor, $5,0OO.OOO. Here Is
an opportunity to affect tax reduc-
ton of more than 100000 if we
revise our tax system to eliminate
discrimination against the common
man.
Railroads Favored in Taxes.
will Mr.. Brown, who is a heavy
holder of railroad stock, come out for
shifting this tax burden from the
shoulders of the common man and
put it on the shoulders of the rail-
WuSIc IL
Why should the common man carry
the railroads tax load?
What we need today, and need
badly, is tax revision that will do
| away with the Determinations the
common man suffers under our pres
ent system.
1.-The Farmer-LabOr administration
| is reducing state expenditures and
will continue to reduce them in spite
of the heavy load of Republican cor
ruptiOn and waste that this admin
stration inherited
But we will also decrease taxes
for the common man by a revision of
the tax system if the people will elect
a legislature that will represent the
common man and not the corpora
tions. We will effect a tax reduction
for the common man that will be
much greater and much more effec-
tive than the 100000 reduction in
taxes the Republican candidate says
he will effect"

PeterSen'S Reply.

Hjalmar Petersen makes the follow
ing reply to the letter of former Gov
ernOr Theodore ChristiansOn:
''In the first place copies of the
AskOv American of Sept. 29th, con-
tanning two column write-up of your
AskOv speech and also a two column

men in American public life who bear
the Republican label. l refer to such
men as Senator Norris of Nebraska,
one of the noblest characters in
American political life, a man who
puts principle above party label;
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette of Wis
consin, another Republican for whom
l have a high regard as one of the
younger statesmen; Senator Frazier
of North Dakota, who has been
making a strong fight to refinance
American farmers at lower rates

Mr.. ChristianSon's statement re-
garding his advocacy of taxing the
| rich is of course commendable, but
| it is unfortunate that he did not take
militant leadership for state income
tax legislation while he was governor.
| This is especially lamentable in view
of the fact that the State Tax Com
mission in their 1926 and 1928 reports
advocated a state income tax, and in
1880 the State Tax Commission-all

house by member Of the household.
Had Inside Help"
"They had inside help" Curtis re-
ported he had been told.
Col. Lindbergh and his three ser
vants-Betty Cow and Mr.. and Mrs.
Ollie Wheatley-heard this evidence
with no show of emotion.
Under examination by Harry Stout,
legal veteran whom the defense tried to
have ousted from the case before the
trial opened, Lamb told Of Curtis pick
ing a picture from the Newark, N. j.,
rogues gallery as that of John" of the
kidnap band. The subject OF the pic
ture. he said, was found to be an inmate
of an insane asylum.
Was Allowed TO Sleep.
Stout interrogated Lamb as to treat
ment of Curtis after the baby was
found.
was Curtis allowed to go to bed
when he askeo?" he inquired.
He was granted that privilege,
Lamb replied. He only expressed a
desire once"
Lamb then read a second statement
by Curtis, which told of the entrance
rage (retired) and Dean H. Dobson-
Peacock.
In this statement. Curtis said one
of the kidnapers, Olaf Larsen, also
known as Dynamite" or Din" bore a
strong resemblance to Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf, superintendent Of State
police.
Larsen had dirty brown hair" the
statement read. and Schwarzkopf stared
at the witness.
Definite Group Suspected.
Out of the trial has come a dis
closure that police have definite
group of men under suspicion as the
kidnapers and murderers.
Speculation regarding who they
might be and whether an arrest was
near shared interest with the progress
of the trial The disclosure came from
tight-lipped, wary Frank J. Wilson,
internal revenue agent, who is credited
with helping to put AL Capone behind
bars and who now hunts the baby
killers.
Pressed by Fisher, Wilson refused
on the witness stand yesterday 20 di-
vulge the identity of a certain man.
his object being to shield trail the
authorities are hotly pursuing.
Declaring Curtis stories diverted
attention from important clues, the
witness said the interviewing of a
certain man at a certain time" fol-
lowing Curtis suggestions, might have
interfered with the apprehension OF
the gang.
The certain man" was not sus-
pected of the crime, but was 'in touch
with others whom we strongly suspect, -
Wilson explained.

ne was skeptical of the authenticity of
Curtis negotiations until Curtis told
him he had seen some of the ransom
bills in the possession of the gang with
which he was dealing.
Lindbergh Ignores Statement.
As the Curtis statement VS. read by
Lamb, Col. Lindbergh was whiting buSily
at the prosecution table. When Lamb
read of Johns" defiant remarks there
was a murmur of angry disapproval
among the spectators, but Lindbergh
himself did not look up and apparently
did not even hear what was said
The statement went on to tell the
way in which Curtis said the kidnapers
told him they stole the baby.
1t quoted the kidnaperS as telling
Curtis on one occasion that the baby
was "all right, except it won't pay at
tention when called"
During the frequent mention Of the
murdered baby Col. Lindbergh kept
his head bowed over his writing. The
face of Betty Cow, the baby's nurse.
remained impassive after one startled
look of apparent Indignation.
Capt. Lamb said this statement was
completed by Curtis at ) am. May l3,
the day after the baby's body was found
Wanted to Go Along.
Lamb testified that when detectives
were assigned to go to Cape May and
wildwood, N j., to check up on some OF
the details of the statement Curtis eX-
pressed a desire to accompany them.
Can you locate the houses and per-
sons you mention in your statements"
Lamb said he asked Curtis.
"I'll try" he quoted Curtis as replying.
Other witnesses have told how Curtis
did go with the detectives and was un-
able to find the kidnapers or the houses
where he said he had met them before.
Curtis said in the statement Lamb
read that the kidnapers had planned

 The Roosevelt Steamship Go.
 This line operates between Baltimore and Bremen. Its in5 itial sale by the board was to the Franklins and the RooSeveltsuOV
 (a) Sales price: The f1veiWese sells sold it are about 440 fleet long and 7,50O tons groSs.D Tine sales price was nominal; $50 900 for each vessel, total $f50,000. They were built by the board and cost more than $9,OOO,OOO. Hence the sale price is less than 2 per cent of the cost. Their cost is not necessarily their market value. Their true market value, how ever, was nearly ten times the sales price; the concession was made to promote their recondi- tioning and their operation in foreign trade. The board lent most of the cost of recondition- irg.
 (b) Loans: The loan is $6,500,- GOO for 20 years at per cent, to aid in the reconditioning of the five vessels sold. This low inter est rate will yield less by $50O,- GOO than the average interest cost of the public debt, hence the interest loss will exceed $500,000.
