During the summer months many
interesting books for boys and girls
have been added to the library.
Among them are:
TALKING DRUMS by Waldo
Fleming. An exciting adventurous
summer lay before Philip as he re-
turned to African gold coast where
his father was English Superin-
tendent in charge Of constructing
a railroad. The English were en-
countering grave difficulties be-
cause the native workmen seemed
to be under the spell of the myster-
ious African drums. How Philip
solved the mystery makes a thrill
ing story.

FARMERcLABOR
BY A. I. Harris

The independent merchant in
Minnesota is beginning to fight
back. They formed Consumers
and Merchants Anti-Sales Tax Lea
que at a meeting in st. Paul on
August 6. William c. Kregel, pres
ident of the st. Paul Retail Drug
gists Association Is president; Max
Hoppenrath, a Minneapolis tobac-
CO dealer, Is secretary; and e. f.
Jannssen, president Of the st. Paul
Retail Meat Dealers Association Is
vice chairman.
The sole purpose of the organ
ization, according to Mr.. Kregel,
will be to organize the merchants
and consumers in Minnesota to
fight sales tax.
1--WE firmly believe" Mr.. Kregel
said, that the establishment Of a
sales tax system in Minnesota will
work a distinct hardship not only
on every merchant in the state,
but upon every consumer, every
housewife, and, for that, matter
every man, woman and child whose
circumstances force him to be in
terested in either the sale or pur-
chase Of the necessities Of life."

No Politics In Drouth Situation

Speculation is rife to the political significance
of the proposed drouth parey at which President
Roosevelt and Gov ALT. Landon, of Kansas will sit
at the table in conference with other Governors of
drouth stricken states Although Governor Landon is
the Republican candidate for the presidency, he will
attend the session the Governor of Kansas for the
welfare of his state. Neither of these men, we be-
leve jockeying for political advantage in drouh
1t perfectly natural for the President to
include Governor Landon in the list of Governors,
and it perfectly natural for Mr.. London to &C
cept as the leader of his state The drouth situation
in areas of midwest states is acute that political
pickering would be adding insult to the worries and
disappointments already suffered by the drouth
stricken farmers. Immediate action is necessary.

Support Present Judges
In the recent Minnesota primary
election, the people defeated the
two Farmer-Laborite candidates
for the state supreme court. 1t was
a merited rebuke of an attempt to
inject politics into the states high
est legal body. The two sitting
judges received tremendous
plurality. But the Farmer-Laborites
were considerable angered and are
out for revenge. Those who want
to see Justices Holt and Stone re-
main on the bench must not go to
sleep. The two men named to APP
pose them, Messrs. Lee and Van
derberg, have been candidates be-
fore. Mr.. Lee was known as a rad
ical Mr.. Vanderberg has been a
chronic seeker of this office, hav-
ing been running regularly for
many years. Circulars now being
sent out claim that the Farmer
Labor party, having seen its own
chosen candidates eliminated, will
now line up solidly behind Lee and
Vanderberg. This might make the
race closer than people expect 1t
to be. The friends of a non-political
judiciary must be watchful IL they
would prevent such a combination
from becoming victorious on elec-
ton day.-Murray County Herald.
Theodore Christianson, Republi-
can nominee for the U. S. Senate,
was Minnesota's governor three
times. He was first elected with a
plurality of 10000. He won his Sec
ond term with a plurality Of 129,-
900 and his third term with a plur-
atty of $4,000. Incidentally his to-
tai vote for the third term, $40, 1858
was the highest vote ever cast for

speech was refreshing. In every
thing he said he was generous with
his opposition, even admitting that
some of the things accomplished
by the present administration were
good. When he did differ with pre-
sent policies and practices he did
so without personal bitterness or
abuse. None of his opponents have
accused him of being mud-sling-
err.
When President Roosevelt refer
red to his critics as liars he invited
similar counter charges, and he
was finally Accommodated when Fa-
Their Coughlin lowered himself to
the same level Of attack. For a
while ii seemed that the entire

this standpoint, perhaps it is to

Vanderberg Says We Need Landon
There is certainly nothing petty
about Senator Arthur H. Wander

port for nomination for president
before and at the Cleveland con

candidates to withdraw in favor Of
Governor Landon and as further
proof that his first consideration
is to benefit his country and hi:
party, has thrown himself energet
ically into the campaign to cleo
Gov. Landon.
Following a recent trip to Tope
ka for a consultation and visit with
Landon, Vanderberg said:

believe to be service to my country.
Il am q realist. I know a battle
when see one-and this Is bat
tie. 1t Is a battle for American sys-
tenn in the midst of world Of
crashing democracies Regardless
of prior party affiliations, those
who believe in the American sys-
tenn must fight for it. But I ex-
pect the same upsurge of common
sentiment and common confidence
which dictated Governor Landon's
nomination to dictate his election"
st. Cloud Sentinel.
The sales tax is again brought to
the fore. The politicians are now
beginning to handy it about. The
Farmer-Labor platform declares
against 1t. The Republicans and
the Democrats have not committed
themselves.
It is well that the sales tax be
discussed, but why make 1t a polit-
ical football? Why should the man
who believes in it sheer at the man
who does not or vice versa. Taxes
should not be a political issue. Tax
alton should be based on a fair
distribution and the greatest good
to the greatest number.
Real estate has in the past paid
a too high proportion of the taxes.
The farmer has paid more than his
share. Many persons more able to
pay have paid none or a smaller
portion Of the taxes. 1t is felt that
something should be done to ease
the burden on real estate. Those
who did and do now advocate the
sales tax believed that it would
transfer some of the load from the
farmers shoulder and the owner
of other real estate to the should
ers of those more able to pay, The
Farmer-Laborites claim that this
is not the case.
The advocates Of a sales tax
claim that it will ease the burden
on real estate. If it will, there
should be such tax, if some other
means can not be found and in
spite of the fact that it Is a nuis-
ance. If it does not, it should be
left alone.
The only issue in connection with
the sales tax or any other tax, or
change in taxation at this time Is
that something should be done to
distribute taxes fairly. Something
should be done to make the tax
on farm lands equitable.
1t seems that 1t would be better
to revamp the whole states tax
system. Start from the bottom and
make out new system. One that
all could understand. If the sales
tax fits into the new system, well
and good. If it does not, discard 1t
entirely.
Mr.. Benson, Farmer-Labor candi-
date for governor, is now attacking
Mr.. Nelson, Republican candidate
for governor, stating that unless
he commits himself on the ques-
ton, he will take it for granted he
is in favor Of the sales tax and the
Youngquist amendment
Mr.. Benson seems to forget that
there will be no sales tax until the
legislature so decides and that the
Youngquist amendment to the
constitution does not compel the
legislature to pass a law exempt
ing real estate from taxation for
state purposes. The main aim of
the sales tax as well as the Young
quist amendment Is to ease the tax
burden on the farmer. If Mr.. Ben
son finds that it does not do this
let him show why it does not. If
he has some better way Of doing it,
let him give us that.-The Glen

in the form of bonds guaranteed

Radde bowled the best total score and the best individual game in the Brewers League at the Elks alleys at 7:30 o'clock last night and repeated the performance an hour later in the first match play of the new schedule for the City League at the Brunswick alleys However, he failed to receive the proper support in both instances His teammates in the Elks bowling contest were held to a tie score and at the Brunswick alleys his team lost three straight games.
 At the Brunswick alleys, the City team won from Alt Heidelberg, and the All Stars defeated the Alaska Laundry by the following scores:
