SALES TAX BETTER
THAN REVENUE ACT
NUISANCE" CLAGUE
Congressman Tells Lions Plan
Has Proved Success
in Canada
COMMITTEES SELECTED
Matter May be Reopened When
Congress Assemblies in
December Term

Congressman Frank Clague favors
the general sales tax collected from
the manufacturer in preference to the
recently adopted revenue act with its
group of nuisance" taxes he told
Lions club members at their lunch
con Monday noon.
Several leaders in congress are
urging reopening Of the tax question
for a general revision because of dis
satisfaction over the present system.
Mr.. Clague told Lions of his trip
to Canada during the last session
with a committee of senators and re-
representatives. to study the success OF
sales tax which has been in force
there for several years.
Store proprietors there pay three
or four per cent of their gross bust
ness to the government each month,
increasing the price on merchandise
to take care of the tax. He said they
expressed satisfaction with the meth
cd and declared the tax to be as pain
less as any yet devised.
to the check tax from the first and
that many of the other levies recent
ly made could be dispensed with if
the sales tax is adopted. Food stuffs
would be exempt, excepting canned
goods, under the proposed plan and
inexpensive articles Of clothing might
also be exempt.
The plan as advanced in Wash
ington would collect the tax from
the manufacturer, relieving the mer-
chant from the trouble of making re-
ports and remittances.
He commented that Canadians are
generally more law-abiding than
Americans and that they are satisfied
with their system of government dis
Etributien of liquor. He also stated
that court records there show consid-
erably fewer arrests for drunkenness
than in America and that most Cana
dian liquor arrests are American
tourists.
Mr.. Clague, who was not candi-

career at Washington with the De-
cember short term of congress.

Presbyterian Church to Observe
Sixty-Fifth Birthday in October
Manchester President, MankatO
Pastor to Speak During
Weeks Program 80

Tentative plans for memorial serv-
ices to mark the sixty-fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the First
Presbyterian church here, in October
were announced this week by DR.. j.
P. Linn, pastor.
DR.. John Acheson, president Of Ma
calester college in St. Paul and DR..
William w. Kirby, pastor at Manka-
to, will speak at the services and
others will be invited.
The program will open with rally
day services October and close with
communion services, October 9.
The church here was organized by
the Rev. A. G. Rulifson, district
secretary of the Committee of Mis-
sions in 1867, to be connected with
the Presbytery of Dakota. The first
pastor was Rev. G. Hall.
There is no record as to where the
services were held during Mr.. Halls
pastorate, but probably in Behnke's
Hall on Second street. Beginning in
1870 the school house was used until
1871 at which time a new church
building on Bridge street was nearing
completion. The lumber for it was
hauled by OK team from Mankato.
At this time the Rev. S. D. Westfall
was pastor. Following him were the
Reverends w. B. Chamberlain, H. A
Dodge, William Marsh and M. Loba.
When the church building burned
in 1882 the Rev. R. E. Anderson was
pastor. The $4,000 insurance made
it possible to begin to plan immedi-
ately for a new building-the one in
use today. In the meantime services
were held in the old 'ourt house, a
wooden structure on the southwest
corner of the present court house
block. The cost was about $1,000.
In 1886 DIR. J. G.. Riheldaffer &C.
copied a call and soon the church be-
came self-supporting. In 1892 the
Rev. John Sinclair became pastor,
and under him there was marked i'm
provement in all departments OF
church work. 1t was during his
pastorate that the church bell was
installed, the money having been rails
ed in part by the church women edit
ing one issue Of The Redwood Ga
zette. The bell was rung for the first
time on Christmas morning, fitting
ly, for part Of the inscription on the
bell is the Christmas message:
peace on earth, good will to men,"
Following DR.. Sinclair the church
has had as pastors: the Reverends F.
J. Barrackman, L. F. Badger, R. F.
Chambers, j. j. Ehrstein, William
Jobusch, B. P. Holt, A. Torbet and
DIR. A. w. Ross.
Since the organization of the
church in 1867 with nine charter
members, the membership has stead
lily increased. A manse has been built
also an addition to the main auditor
ium, and the church basement has
been remodeled.

to be raised by sale of stock locally.
Mr.. Mueller is in Minneapolis to-
