The income tax will be paid ac-
,cording to means and ability to pay
and those paying the most will also
be the ones getting the most protec-
ton from government. Who is apt
to be for a good income tax? asked
the governor. and he spoke of his OPP
ponent, Earle Brown, as friend, but
added that sin political philosophy
we are as far apart as the poles.
What is his natural inclination to do?
Who does he associate with? Does
he understand what goes out of the
mind of a man who works with his
hands? think in terms of the
masses and the lines are drawn in
this campaign"
The governor concluded his address,
throughout which he held his audi
'ence spellbound with facts and bril-
liant oratory. by saying that at the
ballot box the people have as much
power collectively as any king.

For Good Home Market
The speaker said he is not spot
protectionist. If the tariff is bene-
fetal in Minnesota it is beneficial in
other parts Of the country. 1t must
be broad and comprehensive. He
mentioned sugar and aluminium as be-
ing low in price now. The local mar
ket is 900 and the foreign market

ing the 900 market.
The Republican party is unalterably
opposed to debt cancellation. said the
congressman. When foreign countries
have money to spend on ornaments
they should pay their debts to Amer
lea. While the Republican party is
for necessary and desirable public
expenditures it realizes that we can
not spend ourselves into prosperity,
and the taxes must be lower. The
speaker criticised the Democratic
leader, Speaker of the House Garner
for his post office building proposals,
spending public moneys in that way

The national government has spent
millions of dollars trying to enforce

on earth and let us uphold brotherly
love. friendship and hope.

Victory Made History
on Plain of Marathon

The ancient Marathon was
small town on the eastern coast of
Attica, about 20 miles northeast Of
Athens. There is a modern village
Of the name, but the site of the
ancient Marathon is occupied now
by town called Vrana. Along
with neighboring towns, the old
Marathon belonged to an ancient
Hanseatic league called the Te-
trapolis. This league claimed a
very early origin, legend carrying
it back to the time of Theseus, and
1t survived until after the Fourth
century, B. G.
The plain CT Marathon is famous
as the scene of the decisive battle
in which Miltiades led the Athe-
mans and Plateans to victory over
an army Of Darius under command
Of Datic and Artaphernes in B. G.
400. The Greeks numbered about
10000, while the Persians had a
much larger force. But the in
vaders were put utterly to rout with
heavy loss, while the Greeks lost
only 1872 men. The great mound
in which the remains of these dead
were placed is still conspicuous on
the plain. The battle turned back
the eastern invasion Of Europe and
saved Athens; and, according to
tradition, a Greek runner sped
without stopping from Marathon to
Athens bearin the tidings of vic
tory.

Shudras as black.
And to this day the men of pure
race in Rajputana are red, like the
red granite statues Of old Egypt ;
the Brahmans of pure race are
white beneath their light coat of
sunburn; the Santals and Savaras
are yellow; the Dravidians Of the

Brown Endorses
Tax Amendment
Believes Assessing Monies is the
Equitable Way to Collect
Public Funds

Urging support of the income tax
amendment, Earle Brown, repub-
lican candidate for governor,
pledged himself to use the new rev.
enue to relieve the tax burden now
weighing so heavily upon the farm
ers and laborers of the state.
II intend to vote for the income
tax amendment in November" Mr..
Brown declared. II have always
been for it. I believe that we can
improve the method of collecting
taxes. Adopting the income tax
amendment is only one step. It
must be made a replacement tax.
If that is done it will be a good
tax and I am for it.
IF I am elected governor I will
use every ounce of my influence to
see that it is made a replacement
tax and not simply added to the
present tax burden"
Mr.. Browns guarantee to use the
income tax funds exclusively for
replacement purposes plus his
pledge to cut $5,0O0,OO0 off the state
tax levy gives the voters the most
comprehensive tax and economy
program offered by any party or
candidate, E. L. Mcmillan, chair
man of the republican state central
committee, declared.
1.-The keynote of the farmer-lab-
or platform is spend and spend
more of the public funds" The key
note of the republican platform is
save" and we have given the vot-
ers a definite pledge that we will
save $5,000,0O0. State expenditures
must come down. The state gov
eminent must adopt the severe pol
icies of retrenchment that the peo-
pie have been practicing in their
towns, villages, and school districts.
The Olson administration has
shown conclusively that it does not
know how to accomplish this re-
trenchment. The voters are look
ing to Earle Brown"

Reminders of Past Ages

Dinosaur canyon, situated in the

Hopi Indian reservation in Arizona,
was unknown to United States In

of the territory until Hubert Rich
ardson, keeper Of the Cameron
trading post, was told Of it by aM

gained. The result was that the

Drive to Middle Ages

' The only way to wildly describe
a trip to the little republic of San
Marino in Italy, say, from such a
place as Rimini, is to say it is a
carriage drive to the Middle ages.
Here it is, just as it has been for
centuries-the smallest republic in
the world, and high up in the
clouds, or as they say themselves,
the nearest country to heaven. Its
walls are precipices, and it has
about 1900 citizens. Entering the
ancient gate after the climb to this
impregnabie mount Of city towers,
it really seems as though the world
below was of another age and time,
for it's people are still ruled by the
old Roman laws.
