CHICAGO GOT THE BREAK

1t is probably lucky for the city adj
ministration of Chicago that there is
no election just at this time when
Outlaw John Dillinger was caught
and killed. For if the city officials
were up for reelection now it might
have been used against them that the
city police of Chicago did not get
Dillinger, just as it was used against
the administration of st. Paul when
spring.
The ST. Paul Daily News which was
so strong on the heels of the MahOney
administration, playing up crime as
the leading issue had the following to
say editorially about the Chicago po-
lice:
The Chicago police department,
when you stop to think about it, APP
peared in a rather strange light in
connection with the death of John
DiIlinger.
"Dillinger was caught and killed in
Chicago-by federal men, assisted by
detectives from an Indiana suburb.
ihiO SillNoSo pldscu HO part
either in the tracking down of the
gunman or in his execution. The fed
eral men seem to have worked indie
pendently from choice. all the way
through.
SIT was only after everything was
finished that the Chicago police got
busy. And then they accomrli- he'd
just what? Well. they revealed to the
public (and also to Dillineer's pals)
the identity of the woman who is sup
posed to have led Dillinger into the
trap. They did this over the objec-
ton of the federal men. at a time
when no conceivable good could be
accomplished by it.
"All in all, it is hardly record to
fill a Chicagoan with pride"

FASTER TRAIN

When a transportation company
feels its business slipping away it
usually tries to do something to hold
its own or increase the business.
Folks are taking to the air consider
ably, especially on longer distances,
and the automobile has been making
inroads on railroad passenger bust
ness for years. Therefore, Ralph
Budd, president of the Burlington
railroad together with directors of the
road, met the other day and decided
to install in service between Chicago
and the Twin Cities two new Zephyr
type streamlined Diesel-pOwered
trains. Purchase of the, trains was
authorized at the meeting. The run
ming time will be about six hours
from the Twin Cities to Chica-
go, constituting the first move of
the railroad to meet airplane COM
petition. 1t is planned to have two
trains each leaving the Twin Cities
and Chicago simultaneously at noon
and arriving at their destination early
in the evening. The running time of
six hours is substantial reduction
from the present schedule. Each train
will carry 100 passengers.

AGREED TO DISAGREE

1t is something of a shock to the
nation that now also the daughter OF
President ana Mrs. Franklin d. RCose-
welt has secured a divorce. Mrs. An
ia Roosevelt Dali was granted divorce
from her husband in Nevada, just the
other day. Only a year ago her
brother, Elliott Roosevelt, was di-
yorced by his wife in the same court
The home is the foundation and cor
nerstone of the nation and so when
it is broken somebody suffers and
often it is the innocent who suffer,
for it usually affects others besides
the principals in the divorce proceed
ingS.
The president and the first lady of
the land are popular national leaders
and apparently are plain, well bal
anced people who understand the
masses and the Importance of good
homes. Therefore it is something of
shock that their children should
have so much trouble in their home
making. But on the other hand their
children are grown up, they are ma
ture, and must take the consequences
of their own actions. They were mar
ried some years. Perhaps it was un-
fortunate mating where, in spite of
desire on the part of both and efforts
toward a good home, it Just seemed
that they could not be companionable.

PROPOSED PROGRAM TAX
REFORM
Duluth Publicity

The most important question be-
fore the voters is to reform the pres
ent tax system of Minnesota:
1. About three-fourths of the rev.
enue of state and local government
in Minnesota comes from the property
tax.
2. One-fourth comes from other
taxes such as the gross earnings tax.
3. The property tax hits small
home owners, renters, and farmers
hardest. since they own or rent prop
erty which does not produce a large
amount of income.
4. The property tax does not tax
according to income, and therefore
taxes many who do not have the abil-
ity to pay.
5. Taxes on financial property, on
income-prOducing property and on in
comes. Various attempts have been
made to alter the tax system to get
more revenue from such sources. but
these attempts have been headed off.
The result is that the tax system
bears lightly on wealth and leaves
most of the burden on the wage-work-
ers and farmers.
6. Farmers are especially burdened
by the property tax.
Z. At the present time, when the
depression and recent economic
changes have reduced the income of
farmers and workers to a very low
level the tax burden is too heavy to
be carried.
s. A change is necessary. 1t should
not cut out necessary services, but
should shift the burden of government
expense to those who have the ability
to pay. The proper change is an in
crease in the use of the principle of
the income tax, and a reduction in
property taxes. Ultimately the prop
erty tax should be greatly reduced or
eliminated entirely, because it is un-
suited to modern conditions.
9. The income situation must be
changed as we'll. Unless farmers and
worker get more money income they
cannot afford to pay taxes at all,
under any system of taxation.

A WORLD OF STRIFE
(Springfield Advance Press)

While the world is peaceful when
compared with days of the World
war, there is, evidence of strife on all
sides. Both here and abroad there is
| a feeling of unrest that breaks out in
violence.
Germany is holding the center of
the international stage. Herr Hitler
| finds it necessary to hold the reignS
of authority to kill off his opponents.
Force may prolOng his temporary rule
but force is the beginning of disinte-
grafton for him and his government.
The German people are too we'll edu-
Gated and liberty loving to remain
under the iron hand of a murderouS
dictator.
In the United States we are wit
Messing series of strikes, accompa-
MED by violence and blOOdshed. Labor
can no more rule by force than can
Hitler. The public has certain rights
which labor cannot ignore. Labor has
the right to strike. Even the right of
peaceful picketing has been conceded
| to labor, though not without mental
| reservations. Even peaceful picket
ing is frOwned upon as an unlawful
interference with personal liberty.
But when labor undertakes to stop in
duStry and transportation by the use
of physical force, the public disap-
proves.
And now an American common
wealth finds itself embroiled in
serious conflict over the governor
ship. North Dakota's governor has
been declared busted by the supreme
court for conviction of a felony but
invokes the protection of the state
militia to keep himself in office. The
situation may easily lead to armed
conflict.
Our much Wanted civilization is
pretty thin. Beneath the skin we are
still savages. Instincts that have
ruled the human heart for ages flare
forth when kindled in passion and
hate that follow conflicts of human
desire. Our sober judgment tells us
what we should do, but when forces
that are ruled by our primitive ma
lures manifest themselves, all sense
of duty and, responsibility are swept
aside and we revert to our savage
state.
Education in ethics, through the
teachings of church, school and the
home and free press, may eventually
build up a stable civilization. It's a
slow progress.

STRANGE, ISN'T 1T!
madison independent Pre-

(Madlson Independent PreSs)
Strange, isn't it. Your neighbor
is a fine fellow, he works hard, pays
his bills and keeps up his end of the
community. He hasn't any more
money to spend than you have. All
of sudden he blossoms out with a
brand new automobile. Or his wife
gets a new fur coat, or they show
some other sign of sudden wealth.
You never stop to think that he and
his family have been sacrificing for
years; they have been skimping and
saving toward a definite goal. Now
that they have arrived and have few
things you do not have, they are not
such splendid people. You start to
suspect him of doing something crook
ed or he would not have been so sue
cessful. If you will spend the time
working for yourself, that you are
spending in envying your neighbOr,
you will both be better off.

of pOrcupine. 1t fairly oOzes with
craftsmanship. We marvel that such
an outstanding instrument could be
brought into the world by mere
handful of two or three thousand
Democrats. (The st. Cloud Daily
Times states that is all that were eX-
pected to attend.)
After having stated that they will
demand strict economy in government
and abolition of unnecessary commits
sions and bureaus, they advocate a
new conservation program which
would neceSSitate three or four new
bureaus, some tax reviSiOns which
would need one or two more, and I'M
employment and old age pension sys-
TENS requiring some more study by
Sundry commissions.
Getting down to real fundamentals
they declare that the "Old Capitol
building should "be suitably remOd-
eled and used for state purposes" To
house some of the commissions and
bureaus which they want to abolish,
we would surmise. The fact that the
House and the Senate at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature Investigated
the matter and found that all in
terror walls in the cid building are
bearings walls" which makes re-
modelling impossible and infeasable
since it would require the complete
wrecking of the dome, the tower and
the roof, bring the cost far beyond the
value of the property, does not enter
into the question with the Democrats.
What matter such bagatelle when
there are principles" at stake? We
might suggest that there is another
burning issue" which the Democrats
should have given attention and dec
laration in their platform. We refer
to the dire need of footbridge over
Mud Creek between the John Jones
and Ole Johnson farms.
But it is on the question of public
ownership that the Minnesota Demo-
Gratis rise to their greatest height.
Spurred on by the accomplishments of
the national administration in the
Boulder Dam. the Mississippi canali-
cation, TIE ~nnegs9e Valley develop
ment and other large projects they
grasp the cows husband by his
cranial appendages and with one
mighty heave declare "That all
bridges and other crossings of water
ways and rivers, such as toll bridges
and ferries should belong to and be
owned by the public through the in
strumentality of either the federal
government or of the state
The st. Cloud Times reports Mr.
Regain, the Democratic candidate for
governor, to be well satisfied with the
platform. We would expect him to be.
However, the election returns will
probably show that Mr.. Regain is
much more easily satisfied than the
voters.

SELF ANALYSIS

"The simplest way for each of you
to Judge recovery lies in the plain
facts of your own individual situa-
ton. Are you better off than you
were last year? Are your debts less
burdensome? Is your bank account
more secure? Are your working con-
ditions better? Is your faith in your
own individual future more firmly
grounded?
ALSO, let me put to you another
simple question: Have you as an in
dividual paid too high a price for
these gains? Plausible self-seekers
and theoretical die-hards will tell
you of the loss of individual liberty.
Answer this question also out of the
facts of your own life. Have you lost
any of your rights or liberty or con-
stitutional freedom of action and
choice? Turn to the bill Of rights
of the Constitution, which | have
solemnly sworn to maintain and I'M
der which your freedom rests secure.
Read each provision of that bill of
rights and ask yourself whether you
personally have suffered the impair
ment of single jot of these great
assurances. | have no question in
my mind as to what your answer will
be. The record is written in the eX-
periences of your own personal lives"

TIE LOCARNO PACTS
Duluth Herald)

Great Britain and France recently
exchanged assurances that both will
stand by the Locarno pacts. They
could Go no less. This statement fol-
lows an announcement by Stanley
Baldwin acting premier of the British
empire, that his country is not bound
to go to the aid of France in any war
and it is followed by a statement by
Foreign Minister Louis Barthou Of
France, that Great Britain will go
to the aid Of France ir case the Fran
cO-Belgian area is invaded by any
foreign power" Germany is not
named but she is meant.
The solution of this entang clement
of declarations is this: Great Britain
will stand by France with force in
case France is wrongfully invaded.
She has a right to Judge whether
there is a wrongful invasion. All the
powers that bargained at LOcarno en-
tered into such relations. 1t does not
mean that any power surrenders its
own sovereignty and is bound to fol-
low any other in any warlike adven-
ture.
The LOcarno pactS were we'll meant.
But they did no. go tC the extent of
tying any power definitely to any
other power. Statements from Great
Britain supplementing and limiting
Barthou's words have already been
made.
The spirit of Locarno," which was
one of friendly Cancellation, is at its
strongest only a menace against any
power bent on aggressive war. The
LOcarno treaties were not even noble
experiments" They were indeed and
are useful, inspiring and conciliatory.
They seek to limit aggressive i'm
perialism by kindly words, finally de-
claring against lawless unprovoked
aggression. But no power ever wars
under that flag. All nations in a war
plead that they have been forced to
fight"
That is often true on all sides be-
cause the belligerents have been
forced by their own fears and their
planned Imperialism. The highest
value of the LOcarnO pacts, the pact
of Paris, and any similar ones, is
that they preach peace, even pray for
it. Their weakness is that they up
hold a status quo embedded in the
Treaty of Versailles. They stand for
boundaries fixed by bayonets.

A CHECK.UP ON SUCCESS
(Exchange)

Look this list over and check your
self against it. If none of these
causes for failure apply to you, then
you are to be congratulated, because
you are a SUCCESS.
1. Finding fault with the other
fellow but never seeing your own.
2. Doing as little as possible and
trying to get as much as possible
for it.
3. Spending too much time show
ing up the other fellows weak points
and too little time correcting your
own.
4. Slandering those you do not like.
5. Procrastination- off un-
til tomorrow something that you
should have done day before yester-
day.
6. Deceit-talking friendly to the
other fellows face and stabbing him
in the back as soon as he turns
around.
7. False beliefs that you are smart
enough to reap a harvest of pay be-
fore sowing a crop of honest service.
s. Disloyalty to those who have
trusted you.
9. Egotism-the belief that you
know it all and no one can teach you
anything.
10. Last, but not least, lack of
necessary training and education to
enable you to stand at the head of
your line of work.

"CHAINS" FOR THE CHAIN
BANKERS
Estate NeWS)

The long arms of the law are finally
closing in on the chain bankers who
perpetrated the $100,0OO,OO0 North
west Banco fraud upon the people OF
Minnesota, and soon they will be
brought to the bar of justice to face
trial as common swindlers. The evil
dence of the high-handed methods en-
ployed by this group is now in the
hands of the Hennepin County Grand
Jury which has been formally re-
quested to act by Governor Floyd B.
Olson, under whose direction the Min
nesota Commerce Department made
its investigation.
The desperate efforts of the chain
bankers to suppress the damaging evil
dence of their guilt has availed them
nothing. and their final appeal to the
federal courts has been denied.
They still hope to escape punish
