Cause of Crash
Virginia Officials Unable
to Explain Why Bus
Carried IA to Death
In River

Richmond, Va.-An official re-
port by the State Highway depart
ment and the State Division of Mo-
tor Vehicles on the death of IA per-
sons aboard a Greyhound bus when
it plunged through an open draw
bridge into icy waters of the Apo
mattox river recently asserted that
it was impossible to determine the
cause of the disaster.
From all facts investigated, it is
impossible to arrive at the cause of
this accident, and it cannot be &C
counted for from the facts dis
closed,' the report stated. 'This is
particularly true due to the fact
that here we n O survivors,"
While the Investigators arrived
at no conclusion as to the cause,
they did eliminate a number of pos
sibilities by finding that the bus
was in good mechanical order, that
the driver had been doing no over
time driving, and that the bus was
running slowly when it plunged
into the open draw.
1t was also found there was no
ice or other substance on the bridge
that the bridge safety equipment
was working properly, and that
there were marks on the concrete
surface of the bridge, just in front
of the lip of the draw, which indi-
Gated last-minute brake action.
The report stated that a close ex-
animation of the bus by engineers
of the two State departments after
it had been recovered from the
river showed the brakes were
working effectively.

Ice cream making is one of the
industries that provides a market
for dairy products, and as a result
both the United States Department
of Agriculture and the various
State experiment stations are inter-
ested in many phases of the bust
ness.
There is considerable 'literature"
on ice cream making available free
or at small cost from these sources.
The Federal Department has 10
printed and 7 mimeographed pub
locations and recently listed nearly
a hundred publications issued by
State experiment stations. These
range from simple and practical d.
rections for making ice cream at
home to research studies into
chemical and meteorological phases.
In addition, there are many books
and several periodicals dealing with
the industry.

Two newspapers in village of less
than a thousand inhabitants is not a
paying proposition. 1t is not good
economically speaking for the pub
fishers, nor does it result in as good
service to the readers. Consequently
the Journal and the Herald at Tyler,
in Lincoln county were consolidated
last week. Howard M. Frederick
son, editor and publisher of the Jour
nal for the past five years, will
continue his work as superintendent
of the Camden state park in Lyon
county. The newspaper fraternity
joins in welcoming to its folds the
new publisher of the combined news
papers, Svend Hansen, local Tyler
man, who will continue the liberal
policies enunciated by Editor Fred
erickson. Success and good fortune is
also extended to the retiring publish
ers in their future undertakings.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Editor AskOv American:

Editor AskOv American:
The question is often asked: How
much is a persons services worth?
Our smart legislators, who are wholly
ignorant of the economic laws of ma
ture try to answer it by passing mini
mum wage laws based on prevailing
living cost and since these laws are
recognized more in the breaking than
in the observance, they utterly fail of
their purpose.
1t is impossible to regulate this
matter by human laws. Natures law
is the best, and her answer is that a
persons services are worth exactly
what can be obtained in the open
market at any time and place.
The economic law of supply and de-
mand is natures balance wheel, and
when we get sense enough to remove
the monkey wrenches that we have
it's free operation, we shall then dis
cover its beneficence instead of the
curse it now appears to be.
| we'll remember the time when do
nestle servants were glad to get 50
and So week for general homework
including board and washing. During
the war you were lucky to get a good
housemaid for SIS to $40 week.
In this country of unlimited natural
resources and with human wants for
ever unsatisfied, the demand for labor
should always exceed the supply, and
no iuh D,,f
der present conditions the very oppo-
site is true. Wages are low because
employment is scarce, due to a land
policy that artifcially restricts the
amount of land available for use by
labor and capital, in that it permits
and encourages gambling and profit
eering in the natural resources.
Remembering that the answer to
unemployment is not relief but work
in industry, it is significant to note
that our relief rolls last year exceed
ed the pay rolls of our five largest in
dustries: textile, clothing, railroads,
building, machinery, iron and steel,
and their products. These industries
employed 4,737,OOO (average) in 1885,
while relief rolls averaged 4.79S,O00
cases. The problem before us is to
get to a bottom of unemployment, is
it not? Labor authorities say 12,5OO,-
900 are still jobless.
We are producing enough wealth
now for everybody to be living in the
greatest comfort, but with our unjust
laws for it's istribution-tariffs, pro-
cessing taxes, sales taxes, price fixing,
etc., some get more wealth than they
know what to do with, while the great
masses of the people are being ground
into poverty.

MINNESOTA TAXES

The Minnesota net income tax on
individuals and corporations brought
revenue of two million dollars in 1894
and three and one-half millions in
1895. The receipts are allocated to
the public schools of the state. Elk
emptions under the Law now are $1,000
to single persons and $4,000 to married
persons.
1t is evident that if general prop
erty taxes are to be reduced there
must be increased revenue from other
sources. Therefore, it might be we'll
to lower exemptions on the net in
come tax to say, $500 for single per-
sons and $1,000 for married persons.
The tax would be applied on incomes
above that, allowing of course also
for minor deductions granted in the
law. Collecting more through the
net income tax and other sources
would be far better than to apply
retail sales tax which is something
of a nuisance. Retail merchants do
not want to be tax collectors and peo-
pie should not be forced to pay taxes
in pennies every day. England and
the Scandinavian countries collect
much of their revenue via the net
income tax route and their eXemp-
tions generally are lower than here
in America.
While the revenue produced from
lowering exemptions the net income
tax would not be great, it would how
ever, make direct taxpayers of many
more individuals and cause them to
do some bookkeeping and to know
more about their personal financial
affairs. If it was a $500 tax for
single person receiving total incc me
of $1,000 it could not hurt such a per-
son, and it might have a tendency
to make it easier to collect the higher
rates in the upper brackets.
Voters generally over the state
should give much consideration to
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution to be voted upon this fall,
Amendment No. 2, the so-called
Youngquist amendment. Should that
be adopted it would eliminate entirely
the one-mill state school tax, part of
the supplementary aid to schools, and
much relief aid given to local units
through the state revenue fund.
The amendment provides for elm
mating taxes on general property for
state purposes. That is right the
Legislature has without the amend
ment If there was no relief money
to be given out, no schools to main
tain, and no penal institutions to keep
up, it would be an easy matter to
eliminate state taxes on general
property. Should the amendment
carry, we can rest assured that other
taxes would have to be adopted to take
the place of general property taxes
and the gift the voters would get
would most likely be the retail sales
tax. The greatest benefactors from
adoption of Amendment No. 2 would
be the owners of iron ore. They are
comparatively few individuals. many
residing out of the state and would
not be affected by retail sales tax.

CAN AMERICA CARRY HER
LIQUOR
ri-County Forum)

The above question is one that
every American who has any regard
for the future of his country and his
race may well ask himself. Further
more, it is a question he can not brush
aside merely by saying that prohibi-
ton was a failure. If prohibition was
a failure then legal liquor is even
more CHASTITY failure, and it would
seem to be time to devise other rene
dies. Legal liquor has not reduced
drinking but has increased it a thou
sand fold.
Statistics of the National Safety
Council indicates that the number of
had been drinking" drivers in fatal
accidents Increased in 1894 over 1888
by 81 percent while the had been
drinking pedestrian accidents in
creased in the same period by 50 per-
cent. The Kelley Institute reports a
IA percent Increase of women patients
this year. We were told in prohibit
ton days that legal liquor would re-
duce drinking among the youth, but
a survey of the dance halls and beer
| poI IoiS III duy CITY, anu CIlIZSuS Ol
Thief River Falls need not go to
neighboring towns to find it, will
prove that liquor consumption among
youth has increased alarmingly. Fur
thermore, legal profits have built a
legal liquor trade interlocked with
other business which can and will use
it's respectable standing in the COM
munity in opposition to public offici-
ais and newspapers which dare to
raise their voices in protest And
this newspaper has felt that pressure.
1t is perhaps futile to argue against
the evil. Certainly the public appears
to be so calloused and Indifferent
that to try to stem the headlong
rush over the precipice is like spit
| ing against strong north wind.
Nevertheless, we point out that this
is highspeed age. Fast motor cars
and intricate machinery require a So
Der nation. Perplexing social and
economic problems need clear heads
and keen judgment, neither of which
can exist with carusals, beer and
booze. Your boy or your girl may be
the next victim. You had better
think it over.

would not employ any help to harvest
the abundant crops.
1t is turrible the way the Farmer
Labor administration has carried on.
Every person who processes the Far
mer-Labor faith should be lined up
before a firing squad, and in that
manner get rid of an element that is
the cause for all the economic ills
that is besetting the people of this
grand and glorious state as well as
the nation.
With all Mr.. Hitchcock's ranting
about the labor situation in MinnesO-
ia, he does not touch upon the funda-
mental cause of the deplorable condi-
tion in the state and the nation; he
does not tell you that during the
peak employment in the mining in
dustry on the Mesabi iron range there
were approximately 10000 men gain
fully employed in the iron mines and
at that time there were approximately
% million tons of iron ore taken from
the bowles of the earth in one season;
and that within the period mentioned
by Editor Hitchcock the past five
years. there were approximately s.
600 men employed and that the al
legged output of iron ore was approx
mately 25 million tons for one season.
OF course, laying off about $4,000
men was all due to the Farmer-Labor
administration. At least that is what
the super-propagandist for the Re-
publican party would have one be-
l1eve. Editor Hitchcock is adept at
portraying horrible pictures by in
nuendoes and insinuations. He never
deals with fundamentals. Neverthe-
less he admits that conditions are de-
plorable-with prosperity just around
the corner-but he hates to admit
that these conditions are caused by
system that he wants perpetuated
and which, if continued, will bring
greater suffering and privations to
humanity.

LOOKS GOOD

Some newspapers have been trying
to make out that because conserva-
tives in the recent city election of
st. Paul, won out with their candi-
date for mayor that that is a fore
runner of what will occur in the
statewide election this fall. The
fact remains that the labor element
made substantial gain in the city
election and based upon that gain
the Farmer-Labor party throughout
the state of Minnesota should fare
very we'll in the November election.
Instead of having only two labor
representatives on the city council
as result of the election there will
be three Wenzel and Find
Ian. The conservatives are TruaX
and Pearce, with Barfuss not defin-
itely in any column. If Mr.. Barfuss
decides to go with labor it will be
four liberals against two conserva-
tives. If he decides to go with the
conservatives it is an even break.
The council is where the liberals
made their real gain.
For the office or city comptroller,
Trimmer. the labor candidates. lost
out against the incumbent Goodrich,
conservative, by about 1900 votes in
a total of 10000.
Mayor Gehan, conservative, was re-
elected. Former Mayor Mahoney, his
opponent, did not lose on account of
inferiority, but perhaps more because
of being very outspoken. He frankly
states what he thinks of any situation
and is always ready to call a spade a
spade.
On the whole, the labor ticket made
substantial gains and if that is a
criterion of what will happen in the
statewide election the Farmer-Labor
movement will make gains.

HITCHCOCK'S PAINTINGS
(St. Louis County INDEPENDENT

Editor Hitchcock recently stated in
his news and comment column that
mo political regime ever inflicted so
many injuries upon labor as has the
Farmer-Labor administration. 1t has
created more unemployment in Mime
sofa in five years than all other acts
of all other administrations in Mime
sofa in the entire previous history of
the state.'
O, how orful! Just think of it!
There was no unemployment previous
to the time the Farmer-Labor admin
stration was elected to office in 1880.
Obviously Hitchcock would have
everyone believe the Farmer-Labor
administration closed down the fac
tories, kicked thousands of workers
out of the mines and told the lumber
jacks that they could not work in the
numbering industry, besides coercing
the farmers to the point that they
