DIR. F. +. Callahan and ViggO JuSte-
sen Addressed Rally at Brook
Park Tuesday Evening.

A we'll attended ROOsevelt-Garner
political rally was held at the village
hall in Brook Park Tuesday evening
at which time DR.. F. F. Callahan of
the Pokegama Sanatorium, chairman
of the Pine County Democratic Com
mittee, and ViggO- Justcssq,S in charge
of the speakers bureau at the State
Democratic headquarters in st. Paul,
spoke in behalf of the Democratic
ticket. VIM. Scanlan, an instructor of
the Brook Park school, was chairman
of the meeting.
DR.. Callahan spoke of the times
that followed the Woodrow Wilson ad
of the governmental reigns and
through cabinet members ruled high
and handsome with the oil scandals.
Then came Coolidge who blamed it
to the Harding administration and
now Hoover who was going to have
two cars An every garage and two
chickens in every pot, but the cOun-
try got unemployment and hard times.
Poverty was to be banished.
The New York Times, said the doc
tor stated that in the years between
1924 and 1929 the country experienced
the greatest stock market boom. In
1929 the inevitable crash came and
since then the party in power has adj
vised against hOarding-tO spend more,
and has also advised the people to be
saving and not to spend so much.
Either way you go is wrong.
Senator Wagner, Democrat of New
York, introduced in the last session
and previous sessions Of Congress
some bills for real remedial legisla-
ton along the line of unemployment,
but Hoover objected. The propaganda
hurled out against Governor Franklin
d. Roosevelt that he will not serve
out term if elected president, on ac-
count of some physical ailment, is
vicious propaganda, said the speaker.
AS a matter of fact the governor is
gradually recovering from the dis
ability i'm his legs, his head is o. K.
and he knows government, said the
doctor.

Meeting In London.
A few days ago Edouard HerriOt,
prime minister of the French repub-
lie, was i'm London comforting with his
British colleague, j. Ramsay Mac
Donald, about the German arms equal
ity claim. Amiably the two gentlemen
agreed that four-pOwer conference
ought to be held for the purpose of
discussing the German claims before
the recOnvening of the general dis
armament conference, and they de-
cided that the participants were to
be Great Britain, France, Italy and
Germany.
Berlin, however, reacted unfavOr-
ably to the idea; Germany likes to
discuss the important matter with
the other powers. but it must not be

FINLAYSON FARMERS
LOSE A SPRING COLT

The hunting season has taken
its toll on the farm of the Krause
brothers west of Finlayson and a
fine spring colt has been lost to
them. One morning last week
upon going into the pasture a
member of this farm family came
upon the colts body with a bullet
hole through its neck, evidently
a victim to the aim of mistaken
hunter. Since the animal was of
a dark color, it is thought pos
sibly that it was mistaken for a
bear.

of money that the state received from
its taxpayers. The Republicans, of
course, do not mention that for the
reason that it will put Governor Oh
son in a very favorable light on the
only issue that they have thus far
raised.
"They talk of mills instead of dol
lars because if they use dollars they
cannot make out a case of extrava-
gance against the Olson administra-
ton.
"The Minnesota Tax Commission
also compiled figures showing that
the S.25 mill levy will bring in a
return of $13,169,75O. because a mill
in 1882 will raise only 81 100000; a
mill in 1881 was computed on the
basis of raising $1,SS4.O00, and in
1880 on a bisis of raising 100000.
The decrease is due to falling off
in the value of real estate and tax
delinquencies.
THE tax levy on real and personal
property in 1881 was $14,S57,772.
That means a decrease i'm 1882 of
$1,6SS,022 on real and personal prop
erty.
Under our system of taxation.
when special taxes such as the gross
earning tax on railroads, goes down
it has to be made up by the tax on
real property. Governor Olson does
not approve of that system and is try
ing to change it. The Republican
opposition and the special interests
they represent want the present dis
criminatory tax arrangement con-
tinued.
'In 1892, the estimated returns
from special taxes are more than
$4,000, 900 less than in 1881 and about
$5,500,000 less than in 1929. When
one analyses this in the light of facts
and not propaganda, studies the de-
crease in special taxes and the levies
on real property under the Olson adj
ministration, the governor must re-
ceive fullsome praise for what he has
accomplished.
Governor Olson proposes a higher
percentage in the gross earnings tax
so as to eliminate as much as pos
sible the discrimination that exists
against the average taxpayer in favor
of the corporations and the wealthy.
He also recommends an income tax
that will be both replacement tax
and one used principally to relieve
the burden from the little fellow rath-
err than the fellow who can afford I'm
pay"

LESS MONEY is
SPENT BY STATE
Gov. Olson Against Present System Of
General Property Making Up for
Reduced Special Taxes.

Despite the assertion that the 1882
tax levy of S.25 mills will be the larg-
est tax rate in the history of Mime
sota," figures compiled by the Mime
sofa Tax Commission show that in
1892 the state will receive 1921 oil
less in taxes than the amount received
in 1881; S4,697,022 less than in 1880,
and $6,44S,963 less than received in
1929.
This is revealed i'm statement is

1T is significant" the statement
says, that the Republicans speak
about the high mill rate, but very
strangely fail to mention how much
money the taxpayer actually is going
to pay to the state.
