Quickest Way Back to
Normal Is Tax Reduction
Most Relief Proposals Are Mere
"Shots in the ARM" They Do
Not Really Cure

The quickest way back to norm
al times is to reduce taxes. In a
world highly mechanical, we are
talking about some technical dicta-
torship to subordinate the machine;
we are attempting to set-up this or
that organization, with some new
and imposing title, to deal sternly
with hard times; we are SO preoc-
cupied with magic cures that fear
we are letting go by default some
of the main causes of our present
economic distress, Norman A. Bor-
gen of the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association, declared in a talk.
"It appears that our leaders in
Washington, for instance, are who'll
ly inconsistent when they try to
cure high taxes with more taxes;
when they attempt to balance the
budget with more burdens, when in
stead they could more rapidly
speed in that desirable condition by
slashing off some of the excess
burdens of government. 1t would
appear that some of the entrenched
burdens have more power to hold
the perquisities that they have
gained, than Congress has power to
check them.
"It appears to thousands of tax
payers in this state that the rem
edy lies in retrenchment of public
spending in all branches of govern
ment. Tax shifting will not reduce
expenditures. Thousands of former
taxpayers have been forced off the
tax rolls they are bankrupt. Pile
still heavier loads on to present tax
payers, and it increases the num-
Der of those who will be forced into
receivership and off the tax rolls.
When one set of taxpayers is crush
ed, can you insure the income of
the state by merely 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 earnest
ly to reduce the burden, just as To-
cal units of government have DONE"
Mr.. Bergen declared.

commission said that substantial re-
lief from a part Of the present
heavy tax burden on property may
be brought about through broaden
ing of the tax base to include per-
sons and property not now con-
tributing to the expenses of gov
eminent in proportion to the bene-
fits enjoyed, by increasing the tax
on persons or property now under
tax, and by changes in the assess
ment machinery.
The commission in it's report:
Recommended a law be enacted
at the present session of the legis-
lature providing for a tax on in
comes with graduated rates and
reasonable exemption, pointing out
the attorney general has ruled such
law would be constitutional.
Took a stand against enactment
of a general sales tar. Recon-
mended that telephone companies
be classified for purpose of taxa
ton and that rural mutual COM
panies not organized or operated
for profit be taxed at a flat rate on
each telephone in use and that COM
mercial telephone companies be
taxed on a gross earnings basis Of
6 per cent.
Suggested consideration be given
to a constitutional amendment in
creasing gross earnings tax on rail-
road companies from per cent to
6 per cent.
Recommended that motor buses
and motor trucks engaged in bust
ness as common carriers be taxed
on a gross earnings basis at a rate
commensurate with that imposed
on railroad companies"
The commission also reiterated
its recommendation for a law re-
quiring county boards to furnish
real estate assessment maps for the
use of assessors and that assessors
in cities and villages with popula-
ton in excess of 1000 be permitted
il even number years to start work
of valuing real property prior to
May 1 when authorized to do so
by the governing body of such city
or village.
The legislature also is requested
to create a special legislative COM
mission to make comprehensive
investigation and study of school
finances, to report back to the gov
ernor and legislature by December
1, 1884.

Sank Centre Too Fast for
Long Prairie

The basketball fans who failed to
witness Friday evenings game be-
tween the Sank Centre High School
quint and the Long Prairie lads
missed some real sport.
The Todd county squad are a
rangy lot, and fast. They are well
coached, and play a hard, fast,
clean game.
The two coaches, Mr.. Siminski,
of Long Prairie, and Stub" Olson,
officiated. Their work was above
par.
Long Prairie threw a terrible
scare in the local followers when
Forward Anderson scored four field
goals for the visitors early in the
first quarter.
Pat Dubois commenced to func-
ton about this time, and connected
with a pair of field goals and three
free throws for seven points, the
quarter ending with the visitors
leading 13 to 7.
Sank Centre did not lose their
heads because they were trailing
and began to function in the man
ner in which they are capable in the
second quarter. Korf opened the fes-
tivities by sinking beauty, other
baskets followed in rapid success
sion, the half ending with Long
Prairie leading Is to 16.
'"The Main Streeters" showed
their real stuff in the third quarter
Butch" Iwinski scored his first
of four field goals of the game al
most at the tip-off in the third;
Johnson put Sank Centre out in
front scoring on nice pass from
Pat Dubois. Butch" scored again,
and again, and Pat Dubois sank
one. Meanwhile Long Prairie was
held to a field goal and a free
throw. The quarter ended with
Sank Centre leading 26 to Fl.
Early in the fourth quarter Korfe
went out on fouls, and was replac-
ed by Domke. Brown, Butch" and
Pat Dubois sank field goals in the
final quarter, the visitors also get
ting three field goals. The game
ended Sank Centre 80, Long Prai-
rie 81. The better team won. This
was Sank Centres second victory
over Long Prairie this year.
Friday evening of this week Sank
Centre will close it's regular season
at home when they meet Osakis.
The game at Osakis a couple of
weeks ago was handily won by
Sank Centre.
At 7:15 Friday evening there will
be preliminary game between the
Osalis and Sank Centre second
teams.
Wednesday evening of this week
Sank Centre was billed to meet
Alexandria at Alexandria, Wednes-

Splint Fractures Where
They Lie Doctors Urge
Everybody Should Know Proper
Emergency Aid for Broken
Bones Say Physicians

st. Paul. Feb. 12-Broken bones
constitute one dangerous and pain
full human ailment that is increas-
ing in spite of anything that medi-
cal science can do, says a bulletin
issued by the Minnesota State
Medical Association. Jg
Accidents that result in broken
bones are increasing with every
year and the best that physicians
can do to repair them is of little
use, say the doctors, unless the first
person on the scene of the accident
has some small knowledge of the
principles of first aid.
"The majority of fractures occur
where expert help is available with
in short time" the doctors de-
clare in this bulletin. "In all such
cases the accident victim should
lie where he is, even if it is in the
middle of the street, until the doc
tor comes to put on an emergency
splint and move him to the hospit.
al"
Emergency splints can be applied
by any instructed person, they
point out, and, if the patient must
be carried to the doctor the first
persons on the scene should know
how to do it and do it promptly.
Boy Scouts are all trained in this
important branch of first aid.
Most war veterans can apply splints
too. The doctors urge every man,
woman, and child to inform him
self Immediately.
An object lesson in the damage
that uniformed persons may un-
Willingly do is included in the bull
letin.
"a man is struck by an sutomo-
bile and his leg broken" say the
doctors, sketching a hypothetical
example. "It is a simple fracture
with only mild injury to surround
ing soft parts. Misguided assis-
lance is at hand, however, and he
is helped to his feet. The leg gives
way and the bone fragments slide
by each other, thus tearing mus
Giles. The man falls, only to be pick
ed up again and carried, leg dang
ling, to the roadside. Large blood
vessels are torn and the bone comes
through the lacerated tissue. It
may come through the skin and ev-
en- the trousers. He is laid at rest
on the ground, and some anxious
person, seeing that the leg is twist
ed, straightens it out. The expos
ed bone RENTERS the wound with a
bit of trouser and the dirt of the
street. The sad story can go on
and often does to further unneces-
sary injury. But what was once a
simple injury has now become a
difficult compound fracture requir-
ing much more time to heal and
holding a much greater threat of
infection and permanent disabil-
ity."
Following are four good rule for
first aid treatment of fracturers:
1. "Splint 'em where they lie."
2. Avoid unnecessary manipula-
ition.
3. Transport with extreme care.
4. Treat any existing shock.
