By A. /. HARRIS

Courage is a commendable trait and
draws the admiration of friend and
foe alike. This is true whether that
courage is displayed on the field OF
battle, on the political field, or in the
Laboratories Of science.
The fact that the Mayo Clinic ply
sicians found Governor Olson one OF
the most courageous men they had
ever come in contact with Is not at all
surprising. AS matter OF fact, his
most bitter foes never charged him
with lacking in courage. Though 1t
made them fight him more bitterly,
they we're compelled to express ad-
miration for the fighter.
Man could not shake his fighting
spirit and neither could disease.
These fighting qualities. together with
his cheerfulness and consideration,
won for him the deep admiration and
affection of DR.. william Mayo and the
other attending physicians.
Governor Olson's deep interest in
current political happenings never
waned, even during the critical stages
of his illness. Last week, in response
to an invitation extended by Senator
Bob LaFollette to join in conference
of progressives, the governor answered
forthwith, pointing out the necessity
for all liberals uniting behind Presi-
dent Roosevelt in order to prevent
the election of a reactionary Republic
can. While urging the reelection OF
Roosevelt and also unity among lib
erals and progressives for future po-
litical action, Governor Olson made
it plain that he is not opposed to Con-
gresham Lemke personally and that
he also felt Father Coughlin's none
tary program to be sound.
Il have the utmost respect the
Governor said, "for the Union ticket
candidate and for Father COughlin,
whose program of monetary reform
is sound We Farmer-Laborites have

Additional evidence concerning the
plot of certain leaders Of the Repub-
lican party to run fake slate OF can
didates on the Union Party ticket was
revealed last week.
A trumped-up dispatch from Cleve-
land said the National Union for So
cial Justice was going to force show
down on Governor Olson to compel
him to endorse Lemke. Inquiry as
to the source of this dispatch revealed
that it was only q rumOr.
John D. Sullivan Of st. Paul, state
supervisor for the National Union, on
his return from Cleveland. was asked
about this. He said that no such ac-
ton had been taken at Cleveland eth
er by the officials Of the National
Union or by the Minnesota delegation
to the National Union congress.
Mr.. Sullivan asserted: "A candidate
receiving the endorsement Of the Ma
tional Union for Social Justice does
not have to commit himself likewise
to the candidacy of Mr.. Lemke, and
while we have endorsed the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Lemke, congressional
candidate, whom we support, need not
endorse Mr.. Lemke unless he desires
to do So"

The fat is In the fire and the Re-
publican tax program has come out in
the open at last.
State Representative w. R. Young
quist of Minneapolis, says that any
one who understands the tax situation
in this state knows that the retail
sales tax is inevitable.
Speaking at the Minneapolis Kiwan-
is club last week, Youngquist replied
indirectly to the challenge which Sem
ator Elmer A. Benson hurled at Mar
tin A. Nelson to reveal the secret Re-
publican tax program.
Senator Benson said: 1--WE have
very definite Information that the Re-
publican party proposes to substitute
sales tax for the state real estate
tax"
Shortly after. Republican Press
Agent r. w. Hitchcock denied that
the Republicans had this plan in
mind. But Mr.. Youngquist, one OF
the Republican leaders in the Legis-
lature, gave the secret away. He
said: II can tell the Farmer-LabOr
gentleman Senator Benson) that the
new tax bill in the next Legislature
will very closely resemble the Omni-
bus bill which was vetoed at the
last session, and which would have
removed the entire state levy from
property. 1 know the tax program

Building Still Lags
(Cincinnatl Enouirer)

In recent months economic recovery has become spectacular in it's proportions A study of the net profits of 253 leading industrial and mercantile com panies for the second quarter of the year shows 3 per cent gain over the same period of last year Elm ployment in durable goods industries has risen l5 per cent in year. In general profits pay rolls and production rising above the levels of l930 when the depression just beginning to take hold, out side the security markets
 Such recovery however cannot be satisfactory while the building industry is not sharing in it. In ls30 the building industry employed directly 2500Oo0 individuals, and indirectly gave employment to an- other 3500000 This industry is still in depression partly because large construction goes with boom, not recovery; partly because long-t investment hndered by political uncertainties; partly because wages and other costs have been too rigid the build ing industry And there other reasons.
 Residential building undoubtedly is the principal hope of broad, enduring recovery It has increased tremendously especially in the last year More than 100000 dwellings will be built in 1886. compared with 75,000 in 1885 Compared with the low point in 1933 residential construction is up TOO per cent But the low point unbeevably low in 1883 that the contrast is misleading For we are building less than half many houses in 1926 The trend is encouraging But there is a long way still to go construction is to play the part in American recovery that it has played in Engands re- markable performance.

S100,400!
 That is the amount of money that has flowed into the of trade in Juneau during the past few months
 Postmaster Albert Vile reports that he has con- verted veterans bonds toalng that figure into cash since the bonus bonds arrived here in June Legion officials estimate, judging from applications handled through the local Legion post that there is from $50000 to $l00,000 worth of bonds which have not been cashed Bonds being converted almost daily at the Postoffice which indicates much more cash will come into the Juneau martS of trade between now and the first of the year with the pressure of holiday buying.
 In virtually all instances the bonus money has been spending money Some of it went into settling old accounts of it went into homes and business and some of it, of course, was just spent But the fact remains that $00400 is lot of money to pour into community of this size.
 There may have been great many good reasons why the bonus should not have been paid but mer- chants and veterans in Juneau probably would have hard time of remembering what they were right now.
