RAILROAD SALE
DEFINITELY OFF
Abandonment Plans Snagged
When Government Takes
Back Offer

The sale Of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad which was to
have taken place Friday, April IL,
was indefinitely postponed, per-
sons interested in the matter here
are informed.
The government is understood
to have withdrawn its grant of a
loan to several competing rail-
roads who planned to buy the
system and parcel it out, aband-
oning improbable divisions in
GLIDING the Hopkins-Aberdeen
section which passes through
Redwood and Renville counties.
The reason for the govern
ment's decision is said to be that
several of the purchasers are in
no better financial condition than
the M and St. L.
It is probable that the sale of
the railroad, now in receivership,
will not take place for six months
or a year by which time the bond
holders may arrange to resume
the management.

LIONS INDORSE
PLANS TO BUY
INDIANS FARMS

Members of the Redwood Falls
Lions club adopted a resolution
Monday favoring the proposal
that the government purchase
1900 acres of land near the re-
servation in Paxton township to
be divided into 40 acre farms
where Indians of the reservation
may become self supporting.
George A. Barnes explained the
rehabilitation project and with
Frank Clague was appointed to
draw up a suitable resolution and
forward copies to proper author
tiles.
During the discussion it was
brought out that as much as $751;
900 may be spent by the govern
ment for living quarters on the
farms and other improvements
and that while the land acquired
will be taken from the tax rolls,
this will be offset by removing
many families from relief lists.
L. R. Ewart reported as a
member of the municipal athletic
field committee, reviewing its
meeting with the city council re-
Gently. Mayor C. L. Lynn said
the matter is still under consider
alton. Although several members
of the club expressed themselves
as favoring purchase by the city
of suitable land for the project,
the matter was not voted upon.

CCC MEN TELL
LIONS OF WORK
AT FORT RIDGELY

The work Of the Civilian Con-
servation corps and the National
Park service in improving facili-
ties and identifying Fort Ridge
ly State park near Fairfax was
explained at the Monday meeting
Of the Lions club by Roy II. An
dersen, who is in charge of land
scaping activities and Lieutenant
E. R. Swartling of the camp staff.
Mr.. Andersen told of the work
of removing underbrush and loose
rock, of sodding bare banks left
when roads were cut through
hillsides and Of seeding bare
patches and planting trees of
which future generations will be
proud. The corps has built picnic
tables and stoves and is construct
ing a shelter for picnic parties as
well as a caretaker's cabin.
Although the park is to be left
in a natural state, some improve
ments on nature such as rock
lodges and bridges are being
made. Mr.. Andersen said old set
tiers sometimes wander over the
park and marvel that they never
noticed some rock formation be-
fore, so closely does the man
made improvement resemble the
handicraft of nature.
Lieutenant Swartling discussed
the work of feeding, clothing and
sheltering the men of the CCC
and told of the completeness of
the camp, which includes barracks
for men and officers, recreation
rooms, hospital and other such
facilities. He solicited talent for
entertainments given the boys
quite frequently.

SENATE PASSES
OMNIBUS BILL

By a vote of 80 to Is, the state
senate passed the omnibus tax
bill, containing the three per cent
sales tax, late Wednesday.
The bill now goes to the house
for agreement on certain amend
ments, including the elimination
of the bank check tax after which
it is believed to face certain veto
by Governor Olson. What kind of
tax reform will come out of the
resulting situation is very much a
question: Also Wednesday the
house turned down the tax limit
alton proposal.

CAPITOL
SLANTS
BY John M. Zwach

The legislature is finally acting
on the most important matter of
the session-taxation.
Final action on the omnibus tax
bill in the senate was expected
this week, with probable changes
after passage by the house with
the narrow margin of SO to So.
Proponents of the measure, feel
ing certain that passage was as
sured, squirmed uneasily as one by
one expected votes to assure that
passage were cast against the
measure.
Among those forced to vote
against the bill, it was difficult
for me to turn down the proposal
as finally submitted by the tax
committee only because there is
scant hope of any other replace
ment measures during this ses-
sion.
When replacement comes, it
seems only logical that it should
be fair. 1t seems illogical to as
sumo that all but about $4,000
600 of $22,O00,OOO replacement
tax should be saddled on the con-
sumner in the face of the fact that
most of the wealth is centralized
amid ten per cent of the people.
If 80 per cent of the people are
to possess only ten per cent of the
wealth, they should not be asked
to pay approximately 80 per cent
of the taxes, it seems to me.
Several of us who voted against
the program hope that proponents
will see fit to compromise by
adopting some of the following
proposals, enabling us to support
the bill:
1. Increase income, inheritance
and gift taxes.
2. Higher and sounder taxes on
money and credits.
3. Elimination of the check tax.
4. Lower tax on amusements.
5. Two per cent, instead of
three per cent sales tax.
6. Some farm chain tax where
by absentee landowners will pay
equivalent to what tenant must
pay through sales tax.
z. Use of part of the receipts
for the Inauguration of an old age
pension program.
8. Higher occupation and royal
ty tax on ore.
9. Increased gross earnings tax
on railroads.
Many here maintain that a
sales tax will give considerable
relief to the farmers throughout
the state. They state that in case
the state levy against real estate
is eliminated farmers will not pay
the difference in a sales tax.
At best the state levy against
farm land would not amount to
more than about $50 on 100
acres. Now how about the amount
he would pay through a sales
tax? AS soon as he receives a
crop and a price he will need to
launch a repairing and rebuilding
program. He will need to buy
fencing, lumber, paint, machinery,
harnesses, furniture and an un-
countable number of necessities
