Popular Former Resident
Cited by Gen. II. Johnson.

General Hugh Johnson, in his article
in Golfers entitled, Twelve Against
the Gods" has named twelve prom
inent men of business and industry
whom he suggests could come to the
administration at Washington with
plans for cooperation for recovery which
would be successful, do the least harm
to business and speed recovery.
General Johnson named Bernard M.
Baruch, Walter F. Clifford, David Sar-
anoff, John d. Rockefeller, Owen D.
Young, Jackson E. Reynolds, Walter P.
Crysler, Lammont du Pont, Eugene G..
Grace, Donald R. McLennan, James D.
Francis and Lewis H. Brown.
The Donald R. McLennan named in
the list is none other than our friend,
Don" McLennan of Duluth who left
the Zenith City for Chicago in 1905
after building up the Manley- McLennan
agency of which he is still president.
He is also prominently identified with
the Evergreen Mines company of the
Guyana range, now also putting the
Chandler in shape for operation in this
city.
Don IS given a personal note by
Gen. johnson when he characterized
him as 1.-THE Ulysses of business out
side Of banking in Chicago-an insur-
ance man who breads publicity but is,
in my judgment, the most respected
business man in the Middle West"

The recent proposal by President
Roosevelt that the Secretary OF State
negotiate a treaty with the Canadian
government with the object of getting
that governments cooperation in setting
up a ten million acre park with an
equal amount of acreage on both sides
of the of the border, brings to mind
radical differences in governmental set
ups and making such an arrangement
impossible.
In Canada, all lands in the proposed
area with their products, from the tips
of the tallest trees to the utmost depths
of mans penetration beneath the sur
face, is owned by the government. In
marked contrast, there are no dummy
land holders for corporations whose
sole function is to manipulate hundreds
of thousands of acres with the know
ledge and approval of government off,
cials) of logged-off and burnt-over
worthless surface into the governmental
lap at from two to three times the
original cost before the timber was
stripped off.
Let us suppose that Canada is short
sighted enough to enter into such a
one-sided treaty with us and that
valuable mineral deposits are discovered
| (not only possible but highly probable)
in this Canadian area, the government
would be in honor bound by its treaty
obligations to deprive its citizens OF
the use of untold wealth, while at the
same time the big business part of oul
citizenry can, at will, enter into this

WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Grand Rapids NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
the candidates for office has proposed
temporary sales tax for Minnesota.
There are just two things wrong with
such proposal.
The first is that a sales tax is a
miserable thing. 1t is not wished by
the merchants or customers The only
possible excuse for sales tax in Min
nesota Is the fact that the state may go
into bankruptcy without it. Short
sighed fiscal policies always come home
to roost. A sales tax may come as a
matter of sheer necessity. Every effort
should be made to avoid it.
The next thing is that there is no
such a creature as temporary" tax.
The federal government may impose
and remove levies as it needs money.
But when the state of Minnesota has
adopted tax that tax stays. More
over, every new tax that has been
proposed has been suggested to replace
or reduce taxes. But in not single
