Norristown which is about four
miles from the Norris Dam on the
Clinch River. This housing project
consists Of 331 dwellings erected at
an initial cost Of almost four mill
lion dollars. It Is strictly q federal
city in which no one pays taxes or
can own property or maintain a
business except by permission Of
the iva. All the conveniences of a
modern city are provided, including
fire and police protection. The vii
lage has a large and expensive pub
lie school building, built at a cost of
over 100000, and a filling station
on the outskirts Of the village Is
said to have cost more than 10000.
Architects and builders who have
viewed the filling station project
say it can be duplicated for less
than $4,000. At one time the village
had a monthly payroll cost of $24,-
7O4 which Is far greater than the
total income from the rentals Of all
the properties. The City Manager of
Norristown, Mr.. j. w. Bradner, re-
ceives a salary of $500 year
which is comparable to the salaries
paid to Mayors in cities of 100000
or more population. 1t is larger
salary than that paid to Governors
of IA of our states. BY comparison,
in our neighboring state of Wiscon-
sin the city Of Juneau, Dodge
county, with a population of 1,197,
pays its Mayor a salary of 500 a
year and spends on an average of
$1,000 per month for the mainten-
ance of all it's utilities, the upkeep
of its streets, and the care of those
of their citizens who are unable to
help themselves. The people of
Juneau, Wisconsin, pay taxes at the
rate of $2.85 on each 500 of the as

Interested In Better Deal For Great
Mort Invest

Recent unwarranted attacks on the record of
Harold Knutson, Congressman from this, the Sixth
District published in the Twin City papers, have
brought forth overwhelming defense by the week
made have been erroneous and most of them have
been unfair Twenty years congressman from
one district would lend truth to any such state
ments for it is impossible to fool the people for that
length of time. To uphold that statement publish
the following from the Washington Northwestern of
January 6, 1888:
When eminent man has devoted 20 years of
outstanding and loyal services of the highest calibrc
in any field of endeavor he is entitled to the full
measure of public respect, confidence approval ana
appreciation. In the of right and justice such
services become of even greater esteem and of high
y invaluable proportions of leadership capacity
For 20 years, Harold Knutson, Republican, Min
nesota has been member of Congress and during
this lengthy period of splendid service to his beloved
Country and its citizens has consistently held fore
ground by ceaseeSs devotion to vast duties of trem
endous import in the interest of right and justice and
public we'll being.
Representative Knutson is keenly interested in a
better deal for the great Northwest his own section
of this leading Nation. His firm principles and COM
mendable policies well known to his many con-
stituents back home and these same admirable stand
ards have gained the complete respect of his col
leagues. Although election to Congress marked his
first public office, he soon demonstrated that he
vice and has continued to maintain and further this
enviable reputation.
He is member Of the Ways and Means Com
mission a major one, and is aIert to the progressive
principles which pave the way for better understand
ing and most complete fulfillment Of direct public
good To all who have given careful thought to his
distinguished record it is evident that the people of
Knutson for his many meritabe attainments in their
behalf.

without injuring anyone's pocket
book-indeed with benefit to all
classes Of society.
We talk about the great spread
between what the farmer gets for
his grain, livestock and dairy pro-
ducts, and the cost of the finished
product to the consumer. We talk
further about the high price Of
things the farmer has to buy, and
we add that the question of distri-
button in America has not yet been
settled.
One reason it has not been settled
can be found in our high and con-
stantly mounting taxes. Taxation
adds a great deal to the cost of
living and takes away from the
farmer. 1t is estimated that feder-
al, state and local taxes each year
consume about one-quarter of the
local income. The farmer gets it in
the neck harder than any other cit
izen. He is affected by the high cost
of the things he buys and the
strangled market for the things he
sells. Then he is injured too by the
amount of the taxes which he has
to pay on his farm. His acres can
not be concealed when the assessor
comes around and he must pay
more than his share of taxes.
If we want to help the farmer as
well as the business man, then why
not do something about his taxes.
The Federal Government and the
local units have a chance to effect
a healthful reform here. Will they
do it? We doubt it. Too many of
our people still believe in Santa

This morning it's % below-22

drifts lazily straight up to the blue

the suns rays strike, it reflects a
pinkish haze to the ground below

Perhaps it's the bear in me. You
know, they say that people who live
in temperate climates have more
ambition than those who live in
warmer chimes, that the sudden
change in temperature keeps them

Just why they call this temper

In winter it gets SO cold you can't

to find another cool place which
you know you won't find. There is
nothing temperate in either the eli
mate or the movements it produces.
But d'ya know I believe Minneso-
tans like their climate. Now there
is a good deal of hollering in the
winter and there Is like hollering
in the summer. But when some un-
suspecting guy visits here from the
south in the summertime, the boys
will take him into camp. Does 1t
get very cold here in the winter"
comes his innocent query. And at
once he is surrounded by jumping
bunch Of Minnesotans eager to pile
it on. Cold-why it gets so cold here
than men have to grow boards to
keep their faces warm. But the

What do the ladies do?" sends the

Biog-It was way out west in
Chicago in '6S-just three years at
ter Abraham Lincoln was shot to
death in Ford's theatre-that Aug
ust Zolke came to the growing little
town on Lake Michigan. For fifteen
years he worked there in a mill and
the town grew. Then came the big
fire that wiped out the town. The
wind blew so hard off Lake Michi-
gan that Mr.. Zolke, standing on a
six-story building, lost his hat. Did
the fire start with Mrs. OLeary's
cow kicking over the lanterng Well,
that's what they say, he said. But
that was on the west side, and his
question today still Is how did the
fire jump the river Today he's

been back to Chicago several times,

Philosophy-That old one about
putting the shoulder to the wheel is
outmoded what with tenders and
all :. It should be modified to-put
the shoulder to the spare tire
Current thought today does not boil
ster the opinion that a rolling stone
gathers no moss. In fact the trend
to roam is so strong that to stay
put in one place is to he without
ambition. To get out and see the
world and what makes it tick is the
order of the day, and it is truth
evidenced in a large number of sue
cesses that the boys who went
places and saw things eventually
wound up with what the world
terms success. For today scope in
vision is what they want with the
ever-entwining inter-relation OF
topics have read of one man
who had what the world termed
success. Yet he writes in those
quieting years when he could think
clearly that to do 1t all over again
would bring about a different ap-
proach. That each day he would
read some good poetry and listen to
some good music. Those were the
things that pleased him; those were
things he had missed reaching for
success 1t Is more surprisingly
true that few great men are happy
men, and conversely so that few
happy men can become great. Abra-
ham Lincoln, one OF the most mel
ancholy men in history, never had
personal happiness. The fact that
his home life was so unpleasant
sent him out in the world of politics
more than ever before. Unhappi-

them out seeking it in other ways
