Many at Grundtvig Celebration.

The Grundtvig celebration here
Sunday afternoon and evening drew a
large attendance. In the park in the
afternoon the Askov band started off
the festivities. With Anton Gravesen
officiating as master of ceremonies
the various Sunday school classes
sang for the audience and later played
games. Rev. j. p. Andreasen from
West Denmark, Wis.,, was the speaker
of the day; he received the close at
tentiOn of his audience as he in
serious manner commemorated the
life of N. F. S. Grundtvig and what
his life'S activities have contributed
to the generations after him. The
program was interspersed with sing
ing by the audience and followed by
refreshments. In the evening Mrs.
Alfred L. Nielsen's male chorus sang
in the church and Rev. A. E. Frost
spoke ON Grundtvig and read short
excerpts from his writings; Mrs.
Svend Petersen rendered two vocal
selections. Then the audience moved
to the dining room for a light lunch
while Mrs. A. HenrikSen's string or
chestra entertained. Rev. H. c.
Strandskov gave a short talk as did
also Rev. Andreasen, and Rev. Frost
closed the meeting in an appropriate
manner.

the citizens of this state it would
benefit out-of-the-state holding inter-

Amongst the strongest proponents
of a state sales tax, gross income or

they represent.
Avoid GraSping at Straws.
In conclusion, it is. we'll to again
remember that new forms of taxation
and worse ones than now on the
statute books of our state-win not
remedy the situatiOn-but that solving
the unemployment situation is the
more important, in fact the most i'm
portant problem confronting the peo-
pie. In this article on taxation the
subject of unemployment and how best
to solve it, from what angle, and what
should be done, will not be gone into.

times tendency to grasp at straws.
1t will be worse to jump from the
frying pan into the fire.
Get the people back to work, let
them have some income, and the tax
problem will not loom so high.
If more revenue is needed to allevi-
ate the general property tax, some
of it can be secured through raise
in the inheritance tax. Such a bill
was passed by the House in the last
special session of the Minnesota Leg
islature. but the Senate failed to act.
The gross earnings tax on railroads
and telephone companies can be
amended if need be, as can the net
income tax and such other taxes that
are based on ability to pay.
But a sales tax, gross income or

would just be adding insult to injury.

PROPOSING DEBATE
ON TAX LEGISLATION
BY BEAUFORD JOHNSON

Secretary Pine County Taxpayers
League, Route 2, Pine City, MINI.
George E. Wallace, member of
the State Tax Commission, spoke to,
an attentive and enthusiastic group
of taxpayers at the Hotel Madison,
Sandstone, Tuesday evening, Sept. 4
Harry Madison, president of the re-
Gently organized Taxpayers League,
presided and introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Wallace is an authority on mat
ters of taxation. He served as a tax
commissioner of North Dakota for ten
years, after which he was attorney
of the Federal Trade Commission for
some time. The speaker referred to-
the work of the Tax Commission and
dwelt at some length on various tax
matters. He predicted that the next
session of the Minnesota Legislature
would amend the statutory income
tax law to some extent and that the
tax rates in the higher brackets would
be raised.
During the general discussion a
suggestion was made that the legis-
lative candidates be invited to dis
cuSS various matters pertaining to
taxation. The secretary, Beauford
Johnson, was instructed to see Messrs-
Mann and Swanson and endeavor to-
get them to debate the merits of the
proposed gross income tax. 1t is to-
be hoped that this debate will take.
place in the near future. 1t it can
be arranged it will be open to the
public.
