The death of DR.. H. Longstreet Tay-
lor, nationally known tuberculosis
specialist, at his home in st. Paul,
Saturday marks the passing of a man
who spent lifetime in the cure and
prevention of the white plague, and
a man who had much connection with
Pine county. The only privately
owned tuberculosis sanatorium in the
state of MinnesOta-the Pokegama
sanatorium-wa established by DR..
Taylor in 1905 and has grown to be
an institution of much Importance for
the upbuilding of health and the saw
ing of lives. 1t is located on the
west of Pine City.
DR.. Taylor who had lived "A active
years, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio,
on August IA, 1857. He went through
the common school there and secured
his Bachelors and Masters degrees
at Haverford college in Pennsylvania.
His Doctor of Medicine degree was
from what is now the University of
Cincinnati. AS young man he took
ur four years of postgraduate work
in Berlin, Vienna, and Prague, and
then practiced his profession few
years at Asheville, N. c., until 1893
when he located at st. Paul where he
spent the greater part of his most
active lifetime. In 1929 DIR. Taylor
was president of the National Tuber-
culOsis Association and was also
counselor in the international organi-
conferred the Honorary Doctor of Law
degree upon DR.. Taylor as one of the
outstanding graduates from that col
lege. His picture adorns a wall in the
institution.
"A Pioneer I'm the Work.
DR.. TaylOr's idea was to cure tuber-
cUlosis early, to get at the source
OF infection, and to eliminate the
source of infection in the household
and in the community. Working dill
gently with this in mind and a pio-
neer in the work he was given much
of the credit for the passage of the
law in the 1907 session of the Mime
sofa legislature providing for a state
owned sanatorium, the one at Walker.
The district sanatorium idea was also
conceived by DR.. Taylor. There are
now IA district sanatoriums in the
state where the more advanced cases
are taken so that they can be closer
to home and relatives. The lighter
cases go to Walker. All this Mime
sofa plan of caring for the unfortun-
ate tuberculosis patients, toward
which the doctor labored increasingly,
is being taken as a model and copied
by other states. His work also in
cluded a children's preventorium in
Ramsey county, on the shores of Bass
lake, another public institution, with
a clinic in st. Paul where the follow
UP work was carried on to fit the
young people for life's work.

MANY PAY DELINQUENT
TAXES AT REDUCTION

There was a very noticeable rush
at the county seat during the closing
week of 1881 with many taxpayers
taking advantage of the opportunity
to pay past delinquent taxes alta re-
duction with penalties waived. The
sale of lands bid in by the state was
concluded on the 31st of December.
During the time of the sale, which
began in August. thousands of acres
was redeemed. and many took adj
vantage of the opportunity to get state
tax deeds to some of the delinquent
land. One purchaser picked up three
quarter sections in Chengwatana
township. this land being in Section
1913 and Sec. 6-39-20. The
tract totals $50 acres and was secured
at about $500 per acre.

BONUS CAN'T PASS,
RA|NEY DECLARES
Democratic Leader Says In
fIationary Measure viii Be
Delayed Too Long.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
Representative Rainey, Democratic
leader, told newspaper men today the
new money plan for cash redemption
of the soldiers bonus hasn't chance
Of becoming law this session"
Commenting on proposals for the ST.
O00. 100000 outlay after more than
three weeks of continuous hearings,
Rainey said the House Ways and Means
Committee "is not going to approve any
such idea. The committee won't ap-
prove any fiat money plan, and that
is what that is"
The Illinois leader is ranking mem
Der of the revenue group. 1t will hold
it's first closed meeting Thursday to
discuss the bonus bills.
"The committee will not report such
a drastic infiationary scheme, and even
if its sponsors do get it out on the
floor, it cannot become law this ses-
sion,' Rainey said.
"If a petition to discharge the COM
mittee gets the necessary las signatures,
May % would be the first day vote
could be had under the rules. Then,
suppose the House passed the bill, what
chance would it have in the Senate that
late in the session?
Personally, I wouldn't mind II they
cid get the bill out on the floor for
ection. 1t would assure the country
that no fat money plan is going to be-
come law and help business confidence" ,"
Meanwhile. Representative Patman,

CRIME TO SOCIETY
Urges Helping Hand Be Ex-
tended to Those Trying
to Come Back.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May upon society's
ability to surround children with
healthy and harmless outlets for their
natural spirits" George w. Wickersham
said last night, rests the root OF the
Nations crime problem.
Warning that whatever the offenses
of the individual toward society, the
crimes of organized society toward the
individual are infinitely greater" ne
urged society to extend a willing ana
helping hand to the boy or man serl-
ously determined to come back"
Speaking before the Religious Educa-
ton Association, Mr. Wickersham said
lack of statistics made it impossible to
tell whether crime was increasing, but
he added daily occurrences demon
strated that some Of the boldest and
most brutal offenses are committed by
very young men and women" A large
portion of these, he asserted, are mot
criminally minded" but the products
of circumstances and environment"
The ranks of the criminals will be
filled steadily with children, he said, as
long as children are allowed to grow up
in sium areas, without Fairgrounds or
boys clubs; as long as "our jailS re-
main what they are" as long as delin-
quent boys and girls are brought in con-
tact with seasoned offenders, and as
