HELPING BOYS

helpful things take just minute of
any mans time-and yet they mean
so much to a boy.
1t does not take long for boy to
grow and develop into a man. 1t may
be that what we say today will have
a big influence on what kind of a
man he will be. Are We doing the
thing that will help the boy? Just
cordial word of greeting in the
morning as the boy Is ON his way to
school will frequently give the lad
just the needed encouragement for

would be absolutely detrimental to the
small property owner.
Let us illustrate: A and B move
down to FairhOpe, Alabama. A has
$4,000 to start with and B. has $780,
900. Each one secures lot of the
same value. A builds very modest
home within the limits of his capital
B builds an apartment house costing
$4,000. When tax time comes, the
taxes of both are identical. AS in
come has been mill. BIS income has
been $4,000. But both pay the same
amount of taxes.
Is that fair?
Without a complete overthrow of
our present system. and the confisca-
tion of all property, the single tax
theory simply makes the rich richer
and the poor, paupers.
1t can hardly be said that the Fair
hope venture has been much of a sue
cess. 1t is 80 years old and has not
reached the 1000 mark in population.
Therefore it appears that the foun-
ders' hopes have not even been Fair"

gained from the personnel in attend

TAX THE BONDS

A move is on foot for the coming
session of Congress to pass bill for
a constitutional amendment which
will permit the taxation of state and
municipal bonds.
The purpose behind tax exempt
municipal. state. and federal bonds
was most likely all right originally.
But times have changed and there is
so much wealth tied up in such bonds
now that goes tax free that change
must be made. Too much wealth is
hiding there. If the income from
those bonds were taxed it would most
likely release much money for indus
trial purposes.
When originally such bonds were
made tax exempt it was likely
thought that if they were taxed the
interest on the bonds would just simp-
ly go up proportionately with the
amount of the tax. The argument
was also made that to Tax municipal,
state and federal bonds would be just
like taxing ourselves. Others fought
against taxation Of municipal bonds,
arguing that if taxed it would make
it more difficult for municipalities to
establish municipal owned light and
power plants or other public utility
services.
But now with $2O.OOO.OOO,oOO in
state and municipal bonds it becomes
necessary to tax for it represents quite
q percentage of all the wealth. Ii af-
fords a convenient avenue for the es-
cape of taxation and it has been over
done. With the public sentiment
against high interest rates and the
necessity for getting more money out
amongst the masses taxation of bonds
will likely not now cause the interest
rates to go up.

MORE ABOUT SINGLE TAX,

Editor ASkOv Americana: 3.
Ludwig Mcsbak's article on single
tax and free trade brings up an in
teresting subject.
l have given considerable study to
the single tax theory. and Mayor Rel

vention of the Henry George National
Single Tax Society in Chicago in 1888.
1t is true that an equal part of the
natural resources of the nation should
be the birthright of every child born.
However. through he exploitation of
greedy few. the masses have been
left with an inheritance of per cap
tia national bonded debt of nearly
$3.50. Add to this the state. county,
and school district debts and you have
total per capita debt aggregating
from $3.50 to more than $500. These
are astounding facts, but nevertheless
true.
The remedy. however. is far more
difficult to arrive at.
In order to arrive at, and benefit by

CLEAN THE SLATE
1t appears that Pres ident ROoSe

1t appears that Preside Roosevelt
will again oppose the payment now of
the soldiers adjusted compensation.
At the time the issue of paying the
balance of the bonus was up and a
compromise was made by increasing
the loan value to 500 of the face
value there resulted distribution Of
approximately $1,0OO,00O,00O.
The argument advanced at that
time was to the effect that the ex-
penditures of such large amount of
money by the veterans would greatly
stimulate business and aid recovery.
In reply to that President Roosevelt
advances the following argument:
"a survey of the results showed
otherwise.
This large payment resulted In
little stimulation of business, and in
many of the larger cities no mater
ial change was indicated at all It
was found Indebtedness created by
the veterans prior to the payment was
liquidated, and the money advanced
to veterans went to clear that in
debtedness rather than to create new
business.
mo doubt the same results would
obtain If the balance were now paid.
However, in this connection what to
me is very important, having In mind
that the bonus certificate is paid
up endowment policy payable either
to the veterans upon its maturity or
to his beneficiary, is the fact that
of the veterans who die approximately
IS per cent of them leave no other
asset to their family but the adjusted
service certificate or the balance due
on the certificate.
II feel, therefore, that those who
advocate the payment OF the certi-
ficates at this time for the purpose
of stimulating business certainly cam
not have given the interests of the
veteran much thought"
If the former service men are in
debted to others, which in many
cases is true, it would seem that If
they received the bonus and paid such
Indebtedness 1t would cause more
money to get into circulation. Some
Of that Indebtedness, perhaps most Of
it, is right in the communities where
they reside. Certainly the former
service man as we'll as any other in
dividual would be relieved to some
extent if he could pay up his accounts
and why that should not stimulate
business is not easy to understand.
1t might also be we'll to have the
bonus paid for the sake Of removing
it from politics. 1t drags on and
hangs on and too much time and eff
fort is spent ON 1t.

A RILEY SHRINE
INDIANAPOLIS NeWsl

On October 7, 1S49, James Whit
comb Riley was born in the rambling.
two-story frame house at $50 West
that city have undertaken a move
ment to acquire this property, so that
it may become a Riley Shrine. The
city council passed resolution which
said that no plans have been made by
the Riley heirs for the present or
future care of the property, and rec
commended that it be purchased. In
the absence of money i'm the Green
field city treasury with which to
finance the project, civic campaign
to obtain money was proposed. The
city has spent about 100000 on a park
and swimming pool named for the
HoOsier poet. City authorities now
contemplate a personal appeal that
the birthplace of Riley may be re-
stored to its original condition as
nearly as possible, and maintained in
perpetuity.
Indiana has memorialized Riley and
his affection for children, through the
medium of a hospital that will be
maintained by state and county funds.
The Lockerbie street house where Ri
ley lived in Indianapolis, is a place
of interest but there is a feeling that
his birthplace should be preserved.
Greenfield's decision will be approved.
Unless the poole of Greenfield have
a sentimental reason for confirming
contributions to that community, the
plea for money to buy, restore and
maintain the place should meet with
a state and national response. The
proposal is of interest not only to
Greenfield. but to the state that was
proud to claim Riley as one Of it's own.

1.-THE State NeWSl

1AC OtdIc lNSWSJ
Perhaps no word in the English
language has been so overworked as
the word Progressive" Even Rep.
Roy E. Dunn, for many sessions one
of the House spokesman for special
privilege, now styles himself pro
gressive." His call for a caucus of
the members-elect Of the 1885 House
Of Representatives under the name
of Independent Progressives" is the
political joke of the season. If it
well-meaning members-e | ect have
been taken in" by Mr.. Dunn, it would
be funny.
When the word progressive" is
used by such reactiOnary as Roy
Dunn to win his point in a political
lature, it loses its true meaning. In
his radio talk, this gentleman from
Ottertail made much of the fact that
because he voted for the chain store
tax bill and the state income, tax law
in the 1888 session, he may be CLASH

however, failed to inform his listeners
that for years under reactiOnary dom
inatiOn in the lower house, he sat upon
committees which smothered chain
store tax bills and income tax legis-
lation.
The citizens and taxpayers Of Min
nesOta had to wait until 1888, when
the control of the House passed into
the hands OF the real progressives of
this state to enact the income tax
law, the chain store tax, the home
steaders' preference law, the mortgage
moratorium act, and other legislation
which has benefited the people. The
people of Minnesota should bear in
mind that these progressive laws
came out of the progressive 1888
House, under the leadership of Cover
nor Floyd B. Olson and Speaker
Charles Mum.
That Mr.. Dunn voted for one or two
Of these progressive measures adds

BETTER SERVICE

The Farmer-Labor Leader, pub
Labor Association, is to be cOngratu-
lated upon securing the services Of
the well-known political writer, c. D.
Johnston, as its managing editor. Mr..
Johnston is well-known as an able
writer i'm Minnesota newspaper cir
cles, having been SO engaged for the
past Is years or more. During the
last six years he was political writer
on the Pioneer Press and Dispatch Of
St. Paul. The official publiction Of
the Farmer-Labor Association has
been issued as a semimonthly up to
this time, but with the beginning Of
1895 it becomes weekly. H. G..
Creel continues as the editor-in-chief
i'm which position he has rendered
good service to the party.
Heretofore the Leader has pub
lished practically only political news
and opinions but with the Inaugural
ton of weekly publication it will also
enter into the field of printing varie-
of news in it's columns. This will in
clude state, national and even some
international news with feature arti-
cles and farm and wOmen's depart
mentS.
The new managing editor, Mr.. John
ston, is a keen political observer and
a good writer. His name is we'll
known in political circles all over
the state and also in neighboring
states. He is a liberal minded indi-
vidual, and his personal views did
not coincide with the editorial ex
pressions of the Pioneer Press and
Dispatch as well as other conserva-
tive newspapers upon which he
worked in the past. Therefore it is
undoubtedly happy change for MI.
Johnston to get into company where
he is more at home and where he
will be permitted to write in accord
ance with his views and wishes.
Mr.. Johnston has hundreds and
thousands of friends in the Farmer
Labor movement who welcome him to
the important position of managing
editor of the Leader. and they all join
in wishing him success in the position
where he will be able to render use
full service to the progressive move
ment.

IS is ENOUGH

One of the questions that will have
to be settled by the coming session
of the Minnesota Legislature, which
convenes next Tuesday, will be that
of the motor vehicle license fees. In
the 1888 session the tax on automo-
biles was cut 500 on the oldest and
lowest priced cars and between 20%
and 400 on the better and newer cars.
That cut in license fees was only
for the two years of 1888 and 1894.
so automatically the old rate Of 2.4T,
goes into effect for 1885 unless the
Legislature decides to continue the
temporary rates or provide other
rates.
The minimum tax Of SIS ON the old
and inexpensive cars should be main
tanned. In most cases that type Of
cars, purchased for amounts between
SIS and $50. are used by farmers
practically only for driving cream to
town and to return with groceries.
Likewise. the laborer uses such cars
for transportation to and from work.
They are not used much on the main
trunk highways and so therefore a
SIS tax is enough.
The tax on the higher priced cars
is different thing. Ii a person can
afford to buy new $1,000 car a tax
of S24. the regular tax. does not seem
very high especially In view Of the
fact that he pays no personal prop
erty tax on such car. The $24 motor
vehicle license fee Is a small item
compared to the original cost Of the
car and up-keep. and it is also worth
S24 to the owner Of the car to be
able to drive on good highways. Good
roads save the tax to the owner OF
the car several times over in repairs
and up-keep. And likewise If a per-
son can afford $4,000 car the reg
ular $4S tax does not seem out OF
proportion.
The Legislature may, however, de-
eide to make another cut from the
regular 24fc tax or change the rates
permanently.

car. irrespective Of how little the

SWANSON AND MANN

Editor ASkOv American:
The legislative session is now start
ing. Many of the Pine county citi-
zenS are in dubious state of mind
with regard to c. G. Mann. There is
very little doubt in most of the peO-
pies minds that he is much like
Hoover was.
Hoover defeated AL Smith; Mann de-
feated Swanson. The cause of these
defeats were JUDGE. Dur
ing the last campaign for election,
Swanson offered us: extension of
Mortgage Moratorium law; increasing
of inheritance tax and net income tax;
enforcement of corporate excess tax;
promotion of cooperative movement
and public ownership; and reduction
of taxes on small properties. Many
for the benefit of the masses.
Mann, on the other hand, had moth
ing to offer us common people, so he
offered us c. C. pills (Gross income
tax) as a cure for depression, and we
elected him.
NTOSFo llCOluC ID d SCNCIC loAd-
tive for all consumers pocketbooks,
while on big business it takes no eff
feet. This idea of taxing the con-
sumner and allowing big business to
go on mild taxation has already been
carried too far.
Mr.. Mann has made a statement at
one of the meetings that mining in
dustry is taxed too heavily. The pres
ent Republican administration said
that heavy taxes will drive industry
out of the state. They forgot that
thousands of farmers have already
been driven off their farms who
haven't even the opportunity to go to
another state. because it is the same
everywhere.
1t seems funny that big industry can
pay excessively large salaries to their
officials, but they can't pay their just
share of taxes or fair wages to their
laborerS.

Leaving politics aside, it must be
evident to every citizen that there are
acute financial problems ahead, in the
administration of the state and of it's
subdivisions. The first step in the
solution of such problems is to get
the facts. On every hand one is
brought up against contradictory state
ments. State departments disagree
among themselves in their figures on
taxation and on the condition of state
funds. No one department has ana
lyzed the financial situation as a

The public hears much about the sc
things in the heat of a political cam
paign. when the tendency is to be skep-
tical toward all assertions. After the
noise and fury of a campaign, the pub
lie turns with relief to other interests,
and forgets state problems until they
are unpleasantly thrust forward in the
shape of higher taxes or new taxes.
There will be many conflicting tax
proposals before the new Legislature.
For every new scheme, claims will be
made. There will be all sorts of esti-
mates as to the revenue to be expected
from a given tax. In that field alone,
there is room for an honest, nom
partisan effort to get the fects. with
out regard to opinions or prejudices.
The result of expert research into
these vital problems Of Minnesota will
be received with great interest and
will prove of great value.
