LET'S VOTE ON TT

he argument on the music question Is stiu win
us-and is getting where. Rumors, reports,
hitter accusations have followed each other in dis
ORDERLY progression-and are doing nothing toward Ell
fecting solution.
The citizens committee proposal that the matter
he nut to vote and that the decision of the people be
final has merit and should be agreeable to everyone
The committee has agreed to stand the expense
of polling places and election judges The Gazette
agrees to print the ballots without cost The plan
needs only the boards acceptance.
The question like many others voters are called
upon to decide, is not of principal. Everyone
agrees that the present music program has resulted
in organizations of which the city well be proud
The difference of opinion apparently is whether we can
afford the expense they involve Several members OF
The school board hold that the change in the music
department is an integral part of their meritorius
economy program The citizens committee favors the
economy program except as its means lowering OF
standards in the music department.
Arguing the subject can only lead to bitterness,
personalities and possibly rash move. The city
should avoid pitfalls such as these which may hinder
its present progress.
After all the people will pay the BILL The sensible
thing is to let them decide the question.
Printing the News
Just how frequently newspaper editors are asked to
leave out certain bits of because they affect
j families or individuals involved in unfortunate
curances is something the public seldom realizes.
Perhaps explanation of the editors reasoning
in such matters will he of interest 1t is understood
that when person subscribes to newspaper, he ex-
poets to receive unbiased news free from personal
comment on the part of writer's and such details
of happenings as have news value. The editor does
not reserve the right to exclude from the such
unfortunate events may involve his own family his
friends, or frequent buyers of advertising space.
It is the practice of legitimate newspapers to
omit the names of minors though they may be
brought into court probably because OF the effect on
the individual Persons of age know the consequences
of their acts and when they brought into court,
accounts of their acts are freed from the classification
of spssp and legitimate news-news to which the
subscriber is entitled.
It should be understood that such is not
printed maliciously but from sense of duty The
editor who prints the of families and omts
that of others is grossly unfair to all concerned

On Buns

\ TOT long ago a transient stopped at a Redwood
IN Falls business place and went through the usual
procedure in asking for donation. Since 1t
early morning, the plea was for "dime for
cupa coffee"
The business man politely informed the individual
that he through making donations but that he had
contributed to community fund and that meal
ticket would be given him if he would apply at at the
city hail. Dsgruntled at what he considered rebuff
the tramp growled, saw can't be chasing all over
town."
Naturally the business man was glad that he had
not given the money though the tramp looked
hungry, word-beaten and in dire need. Any hungry
man would walk two blocks for meal
Stories like this, and more disgusting have orr
ginated in many sections of the country Recently in
neighboring town, tramp dropped $40 bill the
floor while eating free meal at restaurant When
the waiter insisted that he pay, the tramp gave the
bill in payment, took than $40 in change and
when he gone, the restaurant keeper discovered
that it counterfeit.
Many of the men who drift through town are real
~ in need, are hungry and perhaps would be
willing to work if given chance Others are profess
sonal buns lazy ntemperant and INSCRIPTIONS Often
the ones with the most heart-rendng tales are only
the more experienced at their small-time racket.
Redwood Falls fortunately, has provided way
that these men food, and only food. Send
such to the city hall and be you are not vast
ing your money poor liquor that will only send the
visitor farther down the road he probably is travelling
College Gangsters
lust how thoroughly the youth of the nation has
absorbed gangland publicity, whether through the
~ newspapers, magazines or motion pictures was
brought home last week in University of Minnesota
students raids of ballot boxes while election of class
officers in progress.
Shallow thinkers will blame the publishing of
gangland stories the showing of gang movies but
persons who give the problem real thought will blame
the public officials and the persons who elect them for
allowing such conditions to exist.
We have yet to see story in legitimate news
paper which held the gangster up as an example
News stories bring out the fact that such conditions
exist. The unthnking persons may argue that such
news should not be printed but closing ones eyes to
conditions will never better them.
1t is severe criticism of our entire school sys-
tem that affairs such as the one last week occur
Somewhere in the childs school career sense of fair
play should be taught children who have not had such
home training. Most of big gang leaders have
never attendde schools at least American institutions
That their actions should be taken as an example by
young men privileged to secure college educations is
most regretable
When the ordinary citizen is arrested for use of
stolen license plates the story is hardly noticeable in
any newspaper-but when A. C. Towney is ND for the
same ofense-it becomes news, Just one of the joys
OF being famous

What Others Think
The Modern Roc and the Income Tax

The bird of the Arabian Nights, the celebrated
Roc, laid only egg which it concentrated its
entire attention. and thus perpetuated the generations
of the Roc It fought off all intruders by clawing,
peckng, screaming and beating the air.
The modern prototype of the Roc is the of
large fortune, resisting the income tax His fortune
is his egg. He will claw, peck, and beat the
aid to protect that He is predatory like the Roc, and
is Indifferent any call need of other human be-
ings in the battle protect his fortune The larger
that egg the more resolutey he fights preserve it
uninjured He is cunning too, like the Roc, and will
camoufage with every appearance of broken and Grip
pied body, to lead public attention astray.
Nearly all attacks upon the proposed Minnesota
state income tax due to the fighting and futterng
of our wealthy men. The same tactics used by
them when the federal income tax was adopted, and
only wars necessities creed it through.
Every imaginable form of camoufage is employed
in this selfish effort to push the burden of taxes away
from those of large incomes The bogy of imitation
Of government costs is dangled in front of The
yell that tax must be voted unless it is to be
used to replace" other tax-as if any tax was
voted unless to help pay the taxes that exists
loud and clamorous.
Above all, the startling discovery is made that
state income tax would be double taxation" because
Uncle Sam already levies one We will pay double
taxation" with without income taxes, because the
nation, the state and all its divisions levy them.
The sting in the tail of the income tax is that it
reaches those who have been shrewd enough
most of the real estate and personal property taxes
thus unloading additional and unfair burdens on peope
with far less income.
Let the Roc protect its egg if it can. The power
of majorites will in due of time smash its tough
shell.-Fergus Falls Tribune

Who Pays Campaigners?

-xHETHEP one holds with Governor Olson IN
NJ other political matters not it must be ad-
mtted that there is merit in his order that per-
SONS holding state positions shall not campaign Tor
other state positions without resgning their present
jobs.
One of the weaknesses of our government is tnac
ersons in office are able to appoint to other posi-
lions which involve little work for the state or natlon
but whose principal function is to campaign Tor tne
person or party responsible for their appointment
The use of tax money for campaign expenses which
should be borne by party organizations shunng an
unwarranted burden onto the already oppressed tax
payer
The man in office other things being equal, has
an advantage over other asprants for the office Elk
cept in cases where public sentiment is overwhelming
for change, many voters consider the man with ex-
perence who has shown no tendencies Tor dsnonesty
or neciency, the best choice. They hesitate to vote
for rival, even though he may be equally worthy.
This is perhaps as it should be for it is imprac-
tcal to pass political positions around too frequently
but with this advantage should not add the right
to use men on public payros exclusively or almost
So to build party or personal support at the polls
To this advantage add ranking privileges afford
ed office holders though their use is supposed TO
be carefully safeguarded and the fact that the person
in public office is better position to receive vote
getting publicity and becomes apparent that we are
building up for the party in power, advantage that
is costly if not impossible for the opposing party to
overcome Government is admittedly best when par
ties approximate equal strength
Governor Olson's theory cannot be carried to It's
ultimate conclusion We cannot afford to ask the gov
ernor the president other public officials to resign
from the office several months at the end of each term
while they seek second or third term, but we can,
in all fairness make parties and not government units
pay for campaigners who under our present system
are supported from public tax funds.

More for Less
That reduction of school taxes need not necessar-
ly mean reduction in the quality of education is
demonstrated by the experience of Koochichng county,
Minnesota, described in the May issue of The Farmers
Wife. Koochching farmers are cutting $4,000 off
their school bill this year and getting better schools
in the bargain.
This result has been achieved by closing fifteen
oneroom schools and three tworoom schools and re-
moving their pupils to twenty-one remaining schools
Even after this novel variety of educational
the average school enrolment is only twenty The
pupils taken to school by bus and the of MAIN
tanning establishments for handful of children has
been eliminated By making fuller of old school
buildings, and without building cubic foot of new
Schools Koochichng county has cut its education costs

Fail to Respond to "Tonics."
Most frequently observed among the
patients coming to the children's clinic
Is the pale, languid. undernourished
child, who has poor appetite, fiabpy
muscles, Is seubject to frequent colds
in the head. hes an occasional hacking
There may be faint murrnurs In the
heart. Muscles Of the abdomen are lax,
the child's posture is poor and he walks
in languid. slouchy manner. These
children fail to respond to ordinary
"tonics" or to changes in diet.
They may be suspected Of having tu-
berculosis or chronic kidney or heart
disease. and yet If careful and COM
plete examination of the sinuseS OF the
nose Is made, surprising number are
found to have infections.
Another type frequently seen is a
child suffering from repeated attacks Of
abdominal pain, occasionally accom-
panied by vomiting. The attacks do not
seem to be associated with dietary in
discretions. Some fever may be present
and then appendicitis is suspected.
Only too often an operation is per-
formed and normal appendix re-
moved, when a more careful eXamina-
ton would have revealed the fact that
it was an infection Of the nose, throat
or accessory SinuseS which was really
at the basis of the trouble.
Traced to Sinus Disease.
Some children complain Of pain in
the joints which may be slight or sum-
GENTLY severe to keep them in bed. The
pain Is relieved by certain drugs or by
the application Of heat, but 1t recurs.
In a fair proportion Of instances, chill
dren suffering from these joint syrnp-
toms are found to have chronic sinus
disease, which when 1t can be success
fully treated unfortunately this is not
always possible) results in disappear
ance of the symptoms.
There is close relation between
heart disease In children and nose and
throat infections. One would not be
justified in stating that heart disease is
usually caused by sinus infections, but
it is fact that many children with
heart disease are found to be suffering
from chronic sinus infections, and 1t Is

SINUS DISCOVERY

All ouer the porld there Is In

ST. LOUIS, September 20-A GER
tain number of babies, fed in what
would be theoretically an ideal manner
fail to gain in weight and suffer from
digestive disturbances.
Many such children have been saved
through use of nasal sinus knowledge
developed at the Oscar johnson Insti-
tute of Washington University under
direction of L. w. Dean, M. D., director
OF the institute.
Change of feeding effects no improve
ment in the type of cases here pre-
sented. Many examinations reveal
the fact that some infection Is present
in the nose, throat, sinus or ears, and
when this infection can be found and
treated, the baby gains in weight and
digestive symptoms disappear.
In surprising number of cases the
treatment of feeding difficulties consists
in examining and treating the ncse and
throat and not in changing the food
This one development has been reSpon-

also a fact that the beginning symptoms
of heart disease not infreQuently disap-
pear when the sinuses are suitably
treated.
There Is one form Of chronic kidney
disease which often starts during child
hood and which is the result Of infec-
ton somewhere In the body apparently
about the nose and throat. When the
infection can be cleared up. complete
recovery occurs in a very considerable
proportion Of cases and the child may
thus be saved from chronic invalidism
or premature death.
It woulc be difiicult to over-empha-
size the importance OF sinus infections
in children. We have only Just begun
to appreciate their full significance.
