PARAGUAY AGREES
To MEDIATE WAR
Ready for Truce-BoIivia
Studies Formula Backed
by United States.
BY the Associated Press.

ASUNCION, Paraguay, August 31.-
Paraguay today accepted the proposal
of three neutral nations to discuss a
settlement of the Chaco War with Bo-
livia.
Bolivia is understood to be studying
the formula for discussions proposed
by Argentina, Brazil and the United
States.
Paraguay has agreed to stop hostili-
ties while the conferences are under
way, but details of the plan still re-
main to be worked out. The negotia-
tors said that difficult problems, which
must be settled before a conference
can be held, still remain.
Evening star., 1934-08-31

BUENOS AIRES, August 81. LP.-
Bolivia has not yet indicated its at
titude toward the proposal to mediate
hostilities in the Chaco War.
Officials were jubilant, but pointed
out that many obstacles still stand in
the way of negotiations even if an
acceptance is received from Bolivia.
The United States was understood
to be keeping in the background as
much as possible, because Washington
was said to feel that the question is
essentially one of South American
diplomacy. 1t was added, however,
that the United States will cooperate
to the utmost.

Tax Control Is
Very Vital Need
Seven States Now Do Not Dip In
to Local Field for Tax
Revenue

Students of taxation throughout
the country have gradually come
to the conclusion that the machin-
cry Of taxation needs to be con-
trolled. With 194,630 governmental
units in the United States that
have the power to incur debt, it is
plain that there must be more CO.
ordination. Each board working
without knowledge OF the other has
created a debt and levy situation
hard to handle. Without control,
experience has shown that there is
no limit to which taxes can soar.
That is why number of states are
employing various means of check
ing unbridled taxes. Al statement
of the Minnesota Taxpayers Asso-
citation poins out.
Seven states, however, do not tax
real estate for the purposes Of a.
nancing their state governments.
They leave real estate solely to the
local governments. These states
are: Delaware, Illinois, Michigan,
New York, North Carolina, Okla
homa, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Men have put to work many Of
the forces of Nature, even includ-
ing lightning itself. This force is
a puzzle to him, yet he controls it.
He makes it a blessing to human
ity since he has guided it to re-
move from human shoulders many
Of our physical burdens. Taxes are
something Of mans own creation,
and yet he cannot control it. Taxes
have grown so unwieldy that they
threaten to crush their very Great

EXHIBITS WERE FAIR
Al Clubs Made Fine Showing
Horse Races Average
Exciting Ball Game

The exhibits at the Stearns Coun-
ty Fair which closed with a dlspfay
of fireworks last evening were not
as large as in former years but
the quality was there.
A The MINI. Game & Fish Commits
sion had a very interesting exhibit
in the Sank Centre building. A
number of the wardens had coop
Grated with Game Warden Worm
Brock to make the exhibit q sue
cess. Game Warden Waters, OF
Alexandria furnished an antelope
and a 2-year-old bull buffalo; Fred
johnson, of Ashby, furnished a
buck deer doe and two spotted
fawns; there was an interesting as
sortment of wild birds and game
fish. The display was tastily ar
ranged through the splendid coop
Grafton of Night Policeman Fred
Mossman, former game warden.
The highlight of Tuesday after
Moons program, of course, was the
address by Gov. Floyd Olson, who
spoke to an audience of $500.
The chief executive was escorted
to the grounds by the Sank Centre
Boys and Girls Band and a group
of near Indians on horses.
President Schoenhoff thanked
the Governor for his cooperation
in making the needed repairs to the
grounds and buildings possible
through state relief agencies. The
President then introduced Mayor
w. E. DeLaurier who in turn in
troduced Gov. Olson.
The Governor gave an interesting
resume of the questions OF vital in
terest to the citizens.
Mr.. Olson is a good salesman. He
hasn't much time for the newspap-
ers of the state, and like all clever
politicians he questioned the hon
esty of the publications who do not
see eye to eye with him politically.
Mr.. Olson stated that he had
studied the question Of over pro-
duction in the United States. He
made the interesting disclosure that
if every man, woman and child in
this country were supplied with
food enough to keep them comfor-
tably, instead of there being an
overproduction of food stuffs there
would be a shortage of 6,500,000
milk cows, 100000 beef cattle, g.
100000 hogs. He stated that there
would be slight overproduction OF
wheat. Potatoes would break
about even.
The large crowd gave the Cover
nor splendid attention and he was
frequently interrupted in his talk
by applause.
At the conclusion of his speech
Mr.. Olson inspected the game and
fish exhibit and other features of
the fair in company with his close
political advisors and friends Of
this community.
