The administration tax bills in
clude proposals for some OF the
fiercest income taxes for individ-
uals and corporations that this
country has. Some Of the new tax
es should be heavier than any 9TH
err state now demands.
Other administration tax bills
would put still greater burdens
upon the people Of this state.
Perhaps, If all the administration
tax bills were adopted, Minnesota
would have enough revenue to bal
ance it's budget. 1t would also have
such severe taxes as to handicap 1t
seriously in developing and COM
peting with other states.

than the one the governor urges,
we would have no choice. But there

rather queer that running expens-

short cut-Eveleth Clarion.
How the Foolish Fuss
An occasional newspaper and
some tourist organizations emit
loud walls because residents are
charged only a dollar for a fishing
license, and out-of-state folks have
to pay So. This Is said to be dis
eliminating against the tourists.
That is absurd. The local resident,
although he can get his permit to
fish for less than the out-of-state
visitor, pays in taxes to protect the
lakes and the fish, pays to make
good highways for the use of the
tourists, and If he could have the
same non-tax privilege as do our
welcome tourists for only SO a
year, he would be many dollars
ahead.
This agitation is an insult to the
tourists, who spend some millions
of dollars in this state. To insin-
rate they would not come to Min
nesota because the fish license is So
is absurd.
We occasionally go up to Canada
to fish in the Lake of the Woods
and have to pay SIS for the right to
fish. We would not go more often
if no license fee were charged. The
cost of a fishing license, one, three
or five dollars, is so small part of
the cost Of going fishing at home
or in another state or Canada, that
no real fisherman gives it second
thought. Residents pay and pay,
and our visitors get off with So to
fish in all of our ten thousand
lakes if he has that urge. The
roads he drives over costs millions
of dollars and saves him much in
gas and oil. We provide him camps
and guides and boats to give him
the greatest amount of pleasure.

objecting-it is the home FOOLS

Child Labor Amendment Rejected

AS matters stand it appears doubtful that
the so-called Child Labor Amendment to the Const-
tuition of the United States will be ratified in its
present FORM which reads:
1.-THE Congress shall have the power to limit reg
ulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under 10
years of age
THE power of the several States is unimpaired
by this article except that the operation of State
Laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to
give effect to legislation enacted by Congress"
It requires ratification by SO states to make the
amendment effective, and far only % have voted
for it, while 10 have rejected it, and two states Ala
bama and Rhode Island have not yet taken any ac-
ton.
The above amendment may have been too sweep
ing it's nature, but child labor in the sweat shops
should be abolished The limit of Is years is too
high and it would give Congress the power to pass
law prohibiting any labor whatsoever by person
under IS years of That of would be idiot
ic and drastic.
No rght-thinking person wants to see children
exploited caused to perform work which would in
jure their health general welfare. But law pre-
vidin that person should be permitted to perform
useful of any kind until after reaching the

Street Repair Necessary

An engineering problem which has been con-
nundrum to the City Dads for several years merits
more than just passing interest at this time We re-
the low spot in the pavement Main Street at
the corner of Fifth and Main, in front of the o. W.
Dowswel residence.
Ever since the pavement has been completed It
has been impossible to properly drain that part Of
the road during spring thaws following heavy
rains. The result is a duck pond on Main Street-a
most disagreeable sight to say the least.
One of our leading townsmen stated he believed
that the situation could be remedied without great
cost He suggested that the pavement be raised as
much as possible for better drainage and that els
tern without cement bottom be placed the curb

Honest Civil Service?

The Republicans in the state senate have

civil service which the House is keeping bur-
led But they added a cute little amendment
to it, providing that only such state en-
ployees have been five years on the job
are to be protected in their jobs under this
law. Let's see? Governor Olson took office
six years ago now During his first year he
replaced almost no Republicans with Farmer
Laborites. SO practically every state employee
who has been five years on the job is a Re
publican. They would all be protected under
the state senates civil service bill Practical
ly none of the FarmerIIabor state employees
would be protected. That certainly would be
honest civil service law!-Alexandria Park

NEW YORK, Nov 13.-Preservation
OF the great free trade area represent
ed by continental United States is seri-
: ously threatened blythe growth of bar
riers to interstate commerce, says The
Index of the New York Trust Co.
State sales taxes supplemented by
use taxes, chain store taxation, estab-
3. lishment of state ports of entry, the
: proposed Federal wages and hours bill,
and the possible establishment of re-
.gional authorities in seven flood-con-
: troll areas, are cited as actual or poten-
:, tial obstacles to the unhampered flow
OF commerce across state lines.
While each one of the taxes, pro-
. hibitions and proposed legislative acts
: may have been actuated by worthy
motives and afford certain specific
=, benefits" The Index states, "the broad
national interest has been obscured.
Individual states might feel compelled
to produce locally substitutes for the
goods whose prices would be forced I'D
by such measures.
THE end would be a sectionalism
equivalent to the nationalistic policies
adopted by European countries to pro-
: tect their industries from FOREIGN
r competition, over higher prices to be
paid by the public, and the gradual
breakdown of the policy of liberalism
and the nationwide free market which
have played such vital roles in our
national development"
