Attorney General Elect
At Tax Hearings.

Governor F1yod B. Olson's appoint
ment of Harry H. Peterson, Farmer
Labor attorney general-elect, to "re-
present the state of Minnesota" at the
iron ore property valuation hearing
being conducted by the state tax COM
mission, has excited considerable sur
prise in state capitol circles, says St.
Paul dispatch.
The hearing is on the petition of nor
thern Minnesota mining companies for
a 20 per cent reduction in the assessed
valuation of unmined iron ore. This
petition is opposed by number of
Arrowhead country municipalities. 1t
is admitted that the petition has merit,
but the affected municipalities fear a
loss in taxes if the reduction is granted.
What governor Olson had in mind
when he informed the tax commission
of his appointment of Peterson before
he (Peterson formally takes office in
January, has not been divulged. I'm
official explanations varied, however,
some believing that Governor Olson de-
sired to have Peterson acquainted with
the iron ore valuation situation before
taking Office.
Whatever was behind Peterson's Sc
lection, however, the appointment in no
way Modified Attorney General Henry
N. Benson, who while not saying so in
as many words, was inclined to judge
it as rank discourtesy." Very un-
usual and without notice to me-" was
Benson's only comment. He announced
that Charles E. Phillips, his chief de-
putty, would continue to represent the
department at all hearings.

Turtles Amazing Instinct

On the shores Of the Amazon lives
species of turtle which lays its eggs
IN the sand a few feet above the line
that will denote high-water at the time
when the young are due to appear.
The eggs are laid weeks ahead Of the
actual rising or falling of the river.
and In some seasons there may be a
margin of at least three miles in its
width, but this tortoise or land turtle
never makes mistake, always de-
posting them in secure spot just the
right distance above the line which la
ter will show the high-water mark.

Humility Good or Bad
by KET.

Humility is good when it stimulates.
It is bad when 1t paralyzes, the active
powers of man. 1t may do either.
We have noble examples Of humility
as n stimulus; the sense of weakness
use all the strength he has. But II
conscious weakness causes a man to
believe that 1t makes no difference
whether he works or not, then his
humility is his curse.-Phillips Brooks.

Governor Olson left Tuesday
for Washington, D. c., where
he appears before the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
to request a 100000 loan with
which to carry on relief work
in the timber districts of Nor
thern Minnesota counties. The
request for a loan will be in
conformity with a plan formu-
lated by Alderman Harry j..
Homer of this city for this Sec
ton whereby the timber RACED
during the storm of July was
to be salvaged in the interests
of conservation, fire protection
and furnish employment for
large numbers of woodsmen
otherwise unemployed.
This matter has been sane
toned by the Arrowhead and
other civic associations in the
north country. The governor
goes still farther into the sub
ject and besides stressing the
fire hazard and the conserva-
ton, he asserts "the situation
in northern Minnesota is seri-
Gus and that great suffering
will result this winter if out
side relief is not afforded"

BY BRUCE CATION

"VXTHOEVER once has expert
w enced the wonder of nature
in the air, knows that there is moth
ing to compare with it on earth"
With this remark, Manfred Curry
prefaces his book, Beauty Of
Flight; and he follows it with 100
photographs to prove that he knows
what he is talking about.
The result is a book of rare, eX-
citing beauty-a book that is utterly
unique, a book that fairly takes
your breath away with its dazzling
appeal to theeye
1t is simply a collection of pho
tographs of airplanes and cloudland
but what pictures they are!
Some Of them show great tumbled
cloudbanks piled up, with the SUM-
light transferring them beyond
belief.
Some of them we're taken in
planes high above snow capped
mountains. Some of them show the
startling feats of military planes
flying in military formation.
Some of them were taken at sea.
Some of them show great cities as
they look from a plane a mile or
two in the air.
All of them are superb. DR.. Curry,
according to the books jacket, ex-
amined more than 10000 European
and American photographs to select
the 100 that are printed here.
The statement is easy to believe.
Surely this is the finest collection
of its kind yet printed.

the John Day Company and sells

urged gently of the gangplank. The
crowd surged forward to the end OF

The plank was drawn in amid
much shouting. A dressmaker's
messenger had arrived too late APP
parently. With excellent aim the
package he held in his hand was
tossed aboard and name shouted.
The tug up forward had come
alongside and suddenly the Miranda
throbbed and quivered.
Exactly on time" announced a
fellow passenger at Lottie's elbow.
the clock on the soap factory close
at hand struck 4.
The strip of water between the
Miranda and the pier widened.
Straw, bottles, orange peeling rose
and swayed with the motion of the
water.
The Miranda sidestepped, moving
out into the center of the river
instead of forward. Then the ship
shivered again and moved ahead.

Just a Happy Family

.XXTINONA LAKE, Aug. 27. -
w America is a great CONT
nent, its people are fine, and the
G. A. r. is great organization,
and all Republicans, living, dead
land those in the penitentiary or
OUT are great public servants"
Yes, that's settled and now every
one can go back to wondering when
We'll reach the corner; the miners
can continue holding target prac-
tice, and the other unemployed can
stand in the soup lines.
The first Pollyannaish paragraph
is the sum and substance of the
speech of Raymond S. Springer,
G. o. P. Governor candidate, who,
in attempting to tell his story, puts
his face through more contortions
than the late and lamented Lon
CLANCY ever dreamed about.
Candidate Springer's speech was
about the tenor struck by all except
DOUBLE Crossing" Jim Watson at
the Second district rally here Fri
day.
1t was an interesting performance
beginning at 10 a. m. and continu-
ing until boredom.
The only real big point was the
closing address by the senior Sena-
tor from Indiana, Watson, who put
on his usual vaudeville show.
Lii Arthur" Robinson was there
He made a talk comparing Hoover
to Lincoln. The only point of real
comparison which he forgot to bring
out is that both Presidents lived
in the White House.
So great was Governor LesIie's
enthusiasm for Robinson's appear
ance and speech, that he must have
put callouses on his hands by an
plauding-when he probably wasn't
day dreaming about filling the va
cancy caused by the unfortunate
demise of the junior senator.
If it hadn't been for a feminine
cheer leader down front, the au.
dience of faithful job-hunting anc
job-holding Republicans wouldn'
have risen at all. But they did-ob.
vlously reluctantly.
1t was interesting to watch Wat.
sons technique in evading a tall
with Henry Marshall, Lafayett,
publisher and prime minister tx
Leslie.
There is little difference between
the two over the matter of prohi.
bition. If you recall, Watson sent /;
Straddling plank to be incorporated
In the state platform, and Henry
wrote in the repeater.
So, when Marshall walked UP t.
greet the senior senator, jim gave
him a convulsive handshake anc
then found some one else witt
whom to huddle.
Henry followed Jim around for {
few minutes, vainly attempting tx
get to talk to him-but finally gave
up in disgust.
Just happy family.

Mrs. Townsend personally.
"Oh. steward" he called, beckon-

two girls had considered adequate
to contain the articles left out of

velope. She withdrew two large
rectangles Of greenish paper and
handed them to the agent.

they get!" some one explained.
Ma instantly loyal, took Lottie's
good-hllmored jibe not quite so

dig at Minnie's travelling arrange

the money for everything?
"Of course it's a boat" Ma an
nounced spiritedly. And a fine
boat, too. A fine little boat. What
did you expect, a floating night
club?"
Something this side of the Nina
or the Pints,' Lottie remarked.
We'll, we're just a pair of vaga-
bond travellers. What do we care?"
Following their guides, loaded
with baggage, the girls made their
way to the lower deck of the boat.
Mona was not without certain
misgivings. She never had sailed
anywhere before, but both she and
Lottie had attended farewell par
ties on various transatlantic liners.
