Business Like Approach To Lower Tax

Governor Stassen presented to the legislature in
joint session budget calling for expenditure in
the next years of $79 1928 saving of So
pledged himself to reduce the debt of the state by
$9,000,000. This reduction in the budget is being
accomplished by merging departments, and cutting
costs. The governor also asked for an increase in
the iron tax, stating that approximately 900
could be secured through raising the occupational
and royalty tax rates back to the ten percent they
two years ago. from their present eight percent
He suggested that trust funds over ten million dol
lars not invested, be used to purchase the states
own certificates of Indebtedness at perhaps and
half percent, thereby making direct saving on
that transaction alone of approximately two
hundred thousand dollars per year.
For the shortage of funds for the conduct of the
state for the balance of the current biennium, to
July /, 1885, he stated that money could be borrowed
to be paid back during each year Of the biennium.
Deficiencies Of the past, he recommended, be also
financed from borrowed funds, a sort of Farmer
Labor Deficiency bond, to be retired a period
of years. He opposed reductions in the educational
and relief funds.
Governor Stassen proved that he has the bust
ness of the state at his fngertips and his
dations for lower budget the first offered in
some years toward reducing taxation in the state.
Economy is not impossible in government many
would have believe. Governor Stassen shows
that he believes the voters wish for lower taxation
should be needed and the politicians promises made
before election should be made to stick after he Is
safely imbedded in the payroll of the public.

USE OF HIGHWAY PATROL

Governor Stassen has carried out
his plan of putting the Highway
Patrol and the State Criminal Pre-
vention Bureau under one head,
picking an outstanding man, Sher-
if Rowe, of Mobiles County. for the
double job. In doing so, the Gov
ernor announces that he will not
favor increasing the powers of the
Highway Patrol or charging its
numbers. Fears of a "constabul-
airy" held by labor, says the Gov
ernor, could only be dispelled by a
constitutional amendment probiting
use of the Highway Patrol in labor
disputes.
The primary purpose of the High
way Patrol is to regulate and make
safe as possible traffic on the
States trunk highways. It is prac-
tically forbidden by law to do any
thing else. But the Governors
plan is to coordinate it with the
crime bureau. so that one may help
the other in an emergency, such as
a bandit chase. The Highway Pa
troll is a mobile force, easily called
in, and it should be employed in
cooperation with the crime bureau
and local police authorities when
it is needed. The Governor evil
IDENTIFY intends that it shall be so
used, and that is proper and right.
There is no occasion for the law
to take part in labor disputes save
to protect life and property from
violence. There never should be
any occasion to call on the High
way Patrol for such service.-Min-
neapolis Journal.

lost her wedding ring at that time,
some place in the yard and was

cleaning up her yard, Mrs. Gundry
found a wedding ring in the best
possible condition. She laid the ring
aside forgetting all about 1t until
it was brought to her attention in

when she entertained a sewing

Two Chicago Visitors
Mistaken For Bandits

Of Sleepy Eye and Urban Fecker of
Springfield know how it feels to
have a gun poked in their ribs in
earnest. 1t all happened in Chica-

were mistaken for two of the Win
dy City's underworld characters.
While in the loop district Mr.. Piet-
rus and Mr.. Fecker stopped in a
candy store to make a purchase.
Unknown to them a candy store
in the vicinity had been held up
and robbed a short time before by
a man who wore an overcoat SIM
liar to the one worn by Mr.. Pietrus
and who was about his stature.
Suspecting the two men, the wait
ress flashed an alarm to police who
followed the men from the candy
store and finally commanded them
to throw up your hands" After
showing Identification cards, the
men were permitted to go their
way and the officers left them to
continue their search for the real
bandit.

Why Hide Natural Beauties?-

To him who in love of nature holds communion
with her visible FORMS she speaks various lang

So wrote William Cullen Bryant, for whom Sank
Centres library is named, in his famed poem
"Thanatopsis," published in 1917. cartoonist has
taken this quotation as a caption for cartoon in
which he depicts motorist vending his way through
a maze of billboards These also speak a various
language" ranging from praise to Ell Punko cigars
to an invitation to patronize the Rowdy Dow dance
hail.
With a sweep of the pencil more eloquent than
pages of text the cartoonst characterizes the dis
graceful marring of natural scenery along the high
ways. He depicts the blatant and offensive bill
boards, which not only obscure the beauties Of
nature but in many instances menace to traffic.
If William Cullen Bryant poet and lover of
nature could back to seek inspiration for a
modern "Thanatopsis,' wonder what he would
say? What heck of a mess moderns have made
in hiding the natural beauties, which should be as
free and open as the air we breathe

From reliable source have been informed that

community to mail order houses. Another large
amount goes out to larger city merchants. 1t would
be impossible to estimate the total amount OF local
money spent outside this city each year, but it would
be staggering
If this money were spent locally it would greatly
minimize the relief problem, and it would be bene-
fit to the entire community However, this has been
a problem for years, and it will be problem for
future generations
Advantages which may be gained individually
that way are lost in revenue to the community and
as result the individual suffers we'll the COM
munity as a whole. How many more men could be
employed if that money would be spent in Sank

there be for the farmers product? How much more
would it mean to the community whole? Think
it over
Remember that a dollar spent away does not
come back to you quickly as the dollar spent at
home.

Pioneers Have Built Well

Sank Lake Cooperative Creamery's annual meet

has developed in the local cooperative as result
of good business ethics established by the pioneer

Cooperation in dairy product manufacture and

product is his own to manufacture and sell collect

when each individual farmer made his own butter
and sold it in just haphazard a fashion. Other
factors contributed the desire for better handling
of dairy products and thus came into being the
cooperative creamery, now Mnnesotas largest agri-
cultural industry.
The desire for cooperation in this field was
brought on by a protective instinct with visions of
stable market not for large profits to the coopera-
tive This was the of those early pioneers who
founded local creamery and that they built we'll

landsville. Md, Sept. 10th, for their
twentieth reunion.

but the sun did not long remain
beneath the clouds.

been put in order. The Church was
beautifully decorated with cut flow

warm welcome extendd by the Pas

Rev. Willis.
Between the morning and after

which was enjoyed by all present.
Two P. M. Rev. ]. H. Gray led the

Rev. J. H. Gray delivered the af-
ternoon sermon, which was a great
inspiration to all who were present.
A short business meeting was then
held.
Three deaths had occurred in the
family the past year.
The old officers were again elect
ed by reclamation.
AUNT Lizzie Cam, the president,
whom to know is to love. gave a
short talk expressing her joy of be-

present.
Quite a number were there from
distance that had formerly lived
in Rowlandsville years ago, while
not of the Gray family, but express
ed their joy in being back home
and hoped they may be able to at
tend each year from now on.
All joined in singing GOD be
