REDUCE TAXES
QUICKEST Way
Most Relief Proposals Are
Mere "Shots in the ARM"
They Don't Cure.

The quickest way back TO normal
times is to reduce taxes. In a world
highly mechanical, we are talking about
some technical dictatorship to sub
ordinate the machine; We are attempt
ing to set-up this or that organization,
with some new and imposing title, TO
deal Sternly with hard times; We are so
preoccupied with magic cures that 1
fear we are letting go by default some
Of the main causes of our present
economic distress, Norman A Bergen
of the Minnesota Taxpayers Association
declared in talk.
1T appears that our leaders in Wash
ington for instance, are wholly incon-
siStent when they try to cure high
taxes with more taxes; when they at
tempt to balance the budget with more
burdens, when instead they could more
readily speed in that desirable con-
dition by slashing on some of the ex-
cess burdens of government It would
appear that some of the entrenched
bureaus have more power to hold the
perquisites that they have gained, than
1T appears to thousands Of tax
payers in this state that the remedy
hes in retrenchment Of public spending
in all branches of government Tax
shifting will not reduce expenditures.
Thousands Of former taxpayers have
been forced of the tax roIls-they are
bankrupt. Pile still heavier loads on
to the present taxpayers, and It in
creases the number Of those who VIII
be forced into receivership and of the
tax rolls. When one set Of taxpayers
is crushed, can you insure the income
Of the state merely by transferring the
burden to other taxpayers, and by
crushing them, too? We have reached
the point where We should quit trying
to juggle the tax burden. We ought
to wake up, realize what is happening,
and start out earnestly to reduce the
burden, just as local units Of govern
ment have DONE" Mr.. Bergen declared
Local tax levies throughout Mime
sofa in 1882 have been cut more than
$4,000, 900, reports from 81 counties in
dictate today. That the savings VIII
nearly equal those of year ago now
seems apparent" the taxpayers associ-
alton report stated
The total tax cuts in local levies from
1880 to 1881 amounted to s7,1680 70, and
this amount is, of course, again saved
to the taxpayer this year The savings
in local levies for 1882, based on re-
turns from 81 counties, viii amount 70
approximately s6,524, 100. It IS ap-
parent therefore, that the taxpayers Of
the local districts Of the state have an
approximate saving of close to SCI ,OO0.-
600, for the two-year period
1t is interesting to note that while
the state levies showed an increase of
s3,973, 469 last year, there win be a re-
duction in 1882 of approximately 81
SAT, 382 from the 1881 figures.
THE saving of 10000, 900 to the tax
payers in two years time can be at
tributed in a large degree 70 the
splendid work done by taxpayers associ-
atoms throughout the state and to the
new tax consciousness that has been
developed among the people and their
local public officials. It points the way
back to normality," the report OF the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association stated

Big COUNTIES
ARELOSERS
Rural Counties Profit From
One Mill Road Levy; Three
Big Ones Lose.

Since the establishment of the
Minnesota trunk highway system in
1921, all counties except Hennepin,
Ramsey and st. Louis have been allotted
tosal of nearly so, OOO, 900 for highway
Improvement from the state 1-mill
general road levy although they have
paid under this levy only about s12, 7OO,-
200.
These figures are shown in a tabula-
ton Of receipts and allotments of the
State Road and Bridge fund, prepared
by the State Highway Department.
They show that from 1921 to 1892, the
state as whole, excluding the counties
containing st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth, received about 100000 more
from the 1-min levy than it paid. In
other words, this $4,000 was a con-
tribution of residents of the three big
cities to the development of the Sec
ondary road system of the state.
Allotments to the "a rural counties
from the gasoline tax portion of the
Road and Bridge fund since 1929, total
more than s12,0O0,0O0, a large part of
which also came from motorists, most of
whom make much use of the roads out
side their home communities.
st. Louis County was allotted $50
$1,000 from the state road and bridge
fund in 1882, and for that year was
assessed s166,313.O4 under the 1-mill
state levy.
Since the establishment of the state
trunk highway system, st. Louis county
has paid into the road and bridge funds
Of the state under the 1-mill tax ap-
proximately 1892 ,344. During this
time the county has received in return
for the road and bridge fund from the
state approximately s613, 1900 or about
s3,349,004 less than it paid into this
fund. Hennepin and Ramsey counties
belong in the same class and pay in
much more than is returned.
Gas Taxes Drop
MinneSota's gasoline tax collections
dropped approximately one million
dollars in 1892, compared with 1881, &C
.cording to statement by the Oil In
spection department The decrease was
due to a decline of 100000 gallons in
the net amount of taxable gasoline used
in the state.
Detailed figures are given below:

On This
Occasion
Just Q few thoughts py the Editor
on things Material and Immateriai


3 on things Material and Immateriai
1t has arrived, or rather, we
might say, it has been resur-
rected to harrass an already
overharrassed county. True to
form, the county division bill
which bobs up serenely at each
and every session of the legisla-
ture, is again before this body
and according to those who be-
lieve in a division, will pass the
legislature this winter and be-
come the law of the state.
Those who are most firm in this
belief are several astute poll
ticians who wish to see two
offices grow where only one
grew before. Along with these
politicians a few have been re-
cruited from the ranks of dis
satisfied office seekers who
seem to feel that their efforts
at last will bear fruit and they
will be elevated onto the pie
counter.
Sentiment is being used to
salve over the excuse for di-
vision. The claim is made that
Duluth, our big neighbor to the
south, is hogging the tax monies
raised in the range towns. AS
counties are divided into dis
tricts according to population
and not according to valuation,
Duluth feels perfectly within
its rights in having two COM
missioner districts almost
wholly within the city limits.
Sentimental reasons are against
this kind of logic but legal
reasons are in its favor. The
claim is made that in the ap-
portionment of road funds, Du-
luth is getting more than its
share and also that Duluth has
the bulk of county office hold
ers. This latter claim is prob
ably the crux to the argument
being used for division.
The Ely Miner editor is not in
favor of county division now,
nor was he in favor of county
division two years ago. We
are also looking at it from what
might be termed selfish
reason. The Vermilion range
end of the county has always
been on the less densely popu-
lated end and we have been
given the go-by insofar as the
holding of Office is concerned.
We have county commissioner
as our share of the political
positions and in justice to our
present commissioner and those
who preceded him, we have
received in all probability, our
share of everything being
passed around with the ex-
ception of offices. The only
reason we can see why we have
not gotten more offices is be-
cause we have not enough votes
in the sectional distribution of
political plums to cut any figure
in the case.
We are sticking for the Ver-
million range. We also know
that this range will not be
bettered one whit by having
another county and another set
of officers. We are short of
votes and that is all there is to
it. What we are supposed to
do is to pay taxes, keep quiet
and let the non-taxpaying
sponsors of this measure tell us
where to head in at. Our Sec
ton of the county would be
worse off with a new admins
tration of Mesaba range resi-
dents than it is today and we
probably would be counted out
entirely. Should the division
take place, we would yet be
short of votes. Votes is what
count and our opposition to the
division measure might be used
to count us out even to having
a county commissioner. This

telligence and faith of our predeces-
sors. Not to ignore them. Not to
reject them. But to keep them
alive"
1--WE have always needed to per-
sonalize our ideas. The reason is
simple. We are slow to accept any
thing new, while it remains only
ideas and distractions. Ideas and
distractions are always difficult to
the multitudes. We demand that
they become personalized.
"Our ideal of Americanism only
becomes Ineligible and practical as
we associate a Washington, Lin
coin or some national leader with
these ideas. True of religion. Every
religion. To the Jews there is asso :?
ciated Moses, to the Buddhist there
is Buddha- To the Christian there is
Jesus Christ. For Christianity gives
us a personalized creed. Behind
that creed is Jesus Christ.
Behind all Christian thought and
philosophy is Jesus Christ.
I'VE know that there are many
conditions in our social and indus
trial orders that Jesus Christ would
not approve. Which the Christian
conscience today cannot approve.
I'VE feel that the ideas of today
are filled with the spirit of Jesus
Christ. That conditions and prob
lens can only be corrected by this
spirit of the Christ.
'Never before have we had a
greater opportunity and privilege to
Christiahize and thus humanize the
conditions under which men move
and have their being. To be led into
the way of truth and to hold the
faith in the bond of peace. To take
up the task of the Master"

STUDENTS STRIKE
BELIEVED AT END
Spring Fever Blamed by Chi

at 5 High Schools.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 6.-The city's strike
of school boys and girls was nothing
more than slight touch Of the Spring
fever officials believe.
They said they expected no recurrence
of a student strike that affected five
high schools yesterday and which was
characterized by the strikers" as pro-
test in behalf of their teachers, whose
salaries have long been overdue. Some
of the instructors themselves described
the movement as nothing much more
than premature outburst OF the
Spring practice of playing hockey
Approximately $4,000 pupils walked
out of five schools. At Crane Junior
College two agitators were expelled for
activities in fomenting the strike there.
In a few elementary schools there
we-e minor walkouts, but later in the
DAY indignant parents put stop to
this
The strike was only part of turbu-
lent day that marked the high spot in
recent school activities.
Protesting teachers who have paraded,
attended mass meetings and pleaded be-
fore Government officials and at the
same time conducted daily classes, were
told by the School Board that the board
had given up immediate hope of getting
funds to pay salaries from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation.
President Orville j. Taylor also an
nounced the board had lost hope Of re-
ceiving any immediate aid from a COM
mittee seeking to sell tax warrants.
Unless unexpected cash materializes.
It was reported, the board would pay
its employees up to date by turning over
to them about $26,000,000 in 1882 tax
