AN INTERESTING CAMPAIGN TIDBIT

When the Chicago Tribune published recently a special dispatch from Riga, Latvia to the effect that the Communist Internationae in Russia is supporting the reelection of President Roosevelt and followed with editorials to the same effect the Chicago Times demanded retracton in accord with the Code of Ethics of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Then the Times offered a reward of S5O00 cash to the Freedom of the Press committee of the American Newspaper Publishers As socation of the Tribune scoop could be substanti- ated Being greeted with silence the Times extended is offer to include the Liberty League Crusades the Volunteers and the Republican National Commit tee" proof submitted to satisfy the American News raper Publishers Association and the American So- oiety of Newspaper Editors.
 The alleged special dispatch" stated in part:
 Because the Republican party in the U. s. must be defeated at the November elections at all costs ac- cording to communist international headquarters at loscoW instructions have been sent to the American communist party to support the candidacy of Pres- cent Roosevelt" The "Kommunistieceski Interna- tional No. 13' was quoted as saying: ''The decision S not because endorse Roosevelts policies but we wish to strengthen our influence among America s many radical groups" Even "propagandstic7 the concluding statement: We all have con- mon aim. It is to defeat Landon, who represents forces which oppose the development of class war and revolution in America"
 After analyzing this suspicious tidbit which could not be made to look like translation from the Russian, the Times remarked: We are not afraid we'll have to pay the $50O0" Yet the Tribune edi- torial comments "the scoop" were "in character" One said "The Russians are for MT. Roosevelt be- cause they think that inevitably he must with an- ether four years produce the conditions favorable to them'

 The entire morning session of the court trying the case of Edward Krause, accused of murdering Capt James Plunkett, was taken up in hearing arguments of the opposing attorneys as to whether evidence as to the disappearance of Ole Moe and others was admissible in the hearing. The attorneys for the gov ernment contended that the evil dence was admissible to show that Krause was reputed to be a bad man, and several other men had mysteriously disappeared while out with him. Judge Jennings made no ruling on the question at the time stating that if he later found the evidence admissible, it could be put in at that time.
 On this day the second Alaska Daily Empire development num- Der was published. In addition to the eight pages of the daily paper there were 40 pages of illustrated feature articles on Alaska, giving particular emphasis to the South east portion of the Territory.
 Word had been received in Ju- neau that the steamer Senator, re- turning from Nome, would arrive here that night. She would not pick up passengers but full cargo of salmon and fish guano would be carried

COLORFUL MIR. PRESIDENT

There to be question about it, MT. Roosevelt is a lucky He is one of those mortals for whom the commonly known breaks" of life appear to be constantly in his favor.
 Back four years ago he visited the drought-ridden section and with his arrival the first rain in months. This year he again visited the scenes of drought and again the rains fell. Reversing the tables, he went into the south where copous down. pours had been falling for days Riding through it in his open he thoroughly drenched, but he arose to speak the clouds cleared away and the sun broke out; rainbow appearing in the skies. There countless other occasions where the Chief Executive appears to have been especially fortunate As they in this sport world he gets the breaks
 Being smart man. MT. Roosevelt takes advan- tages of good fortune, but it is mistaken assertion to say that the President rides his luck that he waits for the opportune incidents to along. He has the happy faculty of taking things in his stride Reversals, which he has also encountered find him facing forward with smile; good fortune merely timely comment. He emanates confidence and cour- age.
 An interesting sidelight the President which is bringing forth columns of comment during this cam paign IS his radio voice. He has what the radio ex- pert declare to be the perfect voice for broadcastng Head of the Columbia Broadcasting Company recently commenting the statement that the President owed much to the radio his success in reaching the peo pie, remarked that the radio owed great deal to MT Roosevelt for he had brought to radio the magic o

BensOnite is Man
Without o. COUntry.

Benson-By strange quirk of inter-
national law, Benson has a true man
without country" His case is one of
four that have been called to the at
tention of immigration officials in the
entire United States. Chef Houde, %,
now a resident of Benson, was born in
Benson but moved with his parents to
Canada to live in 1911. In 1917 his
father took out Canadian citizenship
papers, which automatically made Chef
Canadian naturalized citizen. When
he returned to Benson in 1926, lad of
II, the immigration authorities at Por-
tai, N. D., allowed him to pass into this
country showing him to be Canadian.
Houde became of age in this country
and later tried to go back to Canada,
but the Cannuck officials refused to al
low him to enter under the status quo.
In 1882 he attempted to untangle the
matter and take out American citizen
ship papers. Again he was baked. He
had no passport to show he'd entered
the u S. legally. Meanwhile he had
lived in America long enough to lose
his Canadian citizenship. Now he can't
vote here or in Canada, and is literally
without a country. The only consola-
ton seems to be that they can't collect
his income tax!

compliments of Mother Nature can't

In the cutting. a peculiar circumstance

outer tree was the smaller, original one.
1t appears that the outside tree grew
out from the last branch of the original
tree, and continued growing. developing
into perfect cottonwood tree and COM

The stump of the inside tree was eight
feet high; the outer tree was Is inches
in girth. The tree has "a distinct

been established as correct by Anderson,
who recalls the time the tree was trans
planted.

Frank Bucks life work of supplying
birds, animals and reptiles to the ZOOS
and circuSes of the United States and
Europe has taken him across the ocean
43 times, 10 times around the globe and
led him into the jungles of South
America, Africa and Asia.
Buck has travelled by every means
of conveyance from the modern stream
line train to the native carts of far
countries and the backs Of jungle ami
mails
In the animal collectors travels of
uncharted miles reaching into the hun
dreds of thousands, is a matter of about
three thousand miles atop the backs of
giant elephants, crashing their way
through the jungles to his camps. Buck
has done some hiking too. During one
trip to the Far East he walked the
entire width of the island of Borneo
And he has done some running, as those
will bear witness who saw him breaking
speed records in front of charging

His new picture is Fang and Claw said

ten Year plan
FOR BACK TAKES
Act of Recent Legislature on
Back Taxes Termed a Life
Line by Association.

Delinquent taxpayers who have given
up hope of being able to redeem their
property will find in the new install
ment payment plan" passed at the re-
cent special session of the legislature
life line that may save them, according
10 a statement from the Minnesota Tax
payers association.
Under the new law, the taxpayer can
enter into a contract with the state to
refinance his old taxes for period of
ten years, under the following plan:
Pay one-tenth of the back taxes each
year for ten years.
Pay all current taxes each year dur
ing that period.
The delinquent must make con-
tract for this kind of settlement before
November l, 1887, but not thereafter.
The agreement, if strictly adhered to
for ten years, would cancel all penalties
and accumulated interest now due on
back taxes. This would cancel the
confessed judgment and original judg-
mentS.
The purpose of the new law is to
bring in these outstanding delinquencies
and to encourage the taxpayer to pay
up his old accounts. The delinquent
can retain title to his land; he can
clean up all these back taxes by
Systematically dividing the payments
over a long period, and he will have
a smaller amount to pay because of the
cancellation of all accumulated PEN
alties.
Should a large percentage of tax
payers take advantage of the leniency
offered in this law it conceivably would
help to bring down current tax levieS,
since the total normal delinquency
would be materially reduced in the state,
the association points out.
If the law is not success, it likely
will be because no provision was made
to acquaint the public with the pro-
visions of the law, and thus delin-
quents might not be informed of the
matter. Public officials, the press, and
county taxpayers associations have an
opportunity here to assist in bringing
the matter to the attention of the pub
! lie, to help the delinquents, and to get
the benefit that would come if all these
old bills were paid up, the state associ-
alton points out.
