FEW IMPROVEMENTS
MADE IN NATION
Only Twelve Federal
Officials Impeached
During Whole History

In connection with the attempt
to impeach the Secretary of La
Dor it is interesting to note that
in the whole history of the United
States only IL Federal officials
have been impeached, and Of
these only four were found guilty
by the two-thirds vote of the
Senate necessary to removal from
office.
The first official to be impeach-
ed was Senator William Blount Of
Tennessee, who already had been
expelled by the Senate by a vote
of 25 to 1 before impeachment
was voted by the House, in 1877.
Deciding it had no further juris-
diction, the Senate dismissed the
impeachment.
The four removed from office
through impeachment were all
Federal judges-John Pickering
in 1904, West H. Humphreys in
1862, Robert w. Archibald in 1913,
and Halsted L. Ritter in 1896.
Another judge, George w. Eng
lish, was impeached in 1925, but
resigned before trial.
Most famous of all impeach-
ments was that of President An
drew johnson in 1868, on charges
interference with elections. The
including usurpation of the law,
corrupt use of the veto power and
vote of the Senate was: guilty
35; not guilty, 10. AS the vote
for conviction was one short Of
the necessary two-thirds, he was
acquitted.
Others impeached but not con-
victed were Samuel Chase, asso-
ciate justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court, in 1905; James Peck, U. S.
Judge, in 1881; William w. Bel
KNAPP, secretary of war, in 1876;
Charles Swayne, u. s. judge. in
1905, and Harold Louderback, U.
S. judge, in 1888. A majority of
the Senate, but less than two
thirds, voted for the conviction of
Swayne and Louderback. Judge
Aston G. Dayton was impeached
in 1914, but the proceedings were
dropped the following year.
The House of Representatives
has the sole power of impeach-
ment under the Constitution, but
the Senate has the sole power to
try impeachments, and two-thirds
of the senators present must con-
cur in any conviction.

governments current running e0-
penses in currency and discontinue
the issuance of additional tax ex-
empt, interest bearing bonds.
Then, in addition, we could reduce
the actual government expenses
and begin to liquidate, through
payment, the present bond d
structure. Such step would ma
terially help bring back price levels
to parity, decrease the tax bur-
den, stop the growth Of the inter-
est load, and stimulate private in
dustry. Sooner or later necessity
will compel US to adopt this prac-
tical and sound method If we are
to have sound and permanent re-
covery. We should do so now. We
must take steps to remove the in
security we now have. Stability
in circulation would stabilize
prices. Until that has been done
the farmer and working man will
continue to get the short end.
Would Extend Present Arrange
ment
A plan under which the United
States would continue to give GER
tain trade advantages to the
Philippines for Is years after the
Islands attain independence in
1916 was sent to Congress by the
President last week. In his mes
sage the President said changes
must be made in existing laws be-
fore November, 1910, if the disrup-
ton of several Philippine indus
tries is to be avoided" He further
recommended that the Is million
dollar a year coconut-oil excise
tax, which this country has been
collecting and refunding to the
Islands, be used by the Philippine
Commonwealth Government for
reorganizing the Islands economic
set-up in preparation for the day
when the Philippines would no
longer have free entry into the
United States.
For forty years the Filipinos
have been clamoring for indepen-
dence and Congress finally decid-
ed to give it to them, fixing 1916
as the time for disseminating the
present arrangement. Why should
the President show more concern
over the possible disruption Of
several Philippine industries" than
over the present plight of the
Americana dairyman and livestock
industries who are suffering
heavily from the present arrange
ment ?Butterfat, animal fats, and
cotton seed oil prices are now
much below cost of production,
and it is therefore a matter of sur
prise that the President should
advocate extending the present
arrangement from 1916 to 1860.
Again I say that charity should
begin at home. Let us look after
our own people first and after we
have done that we can take up the
problems of others.

!Shipstead May Be
Candidate in 1910
Recent Senate Shift Indicates
Swing To Republican Party
Say News Dispatches

According to news reports, SEN
ator Henrik Shipstead, who comes
up for election in 1910, has made
a move to head off a serious Re-
publican contender for his seat.
Voting with the majority when the
senate turned down a move to vote
the full 1915, 900, 900 deficiency WPA
appropriation asked by President
Roosevelt brought signs that the
senator may be welcomed into the
Republican fold.
This late canny move to edge his
way into the Republican Senate
lineup brought forth the explana-
ton that he did it for purpose of
securing committee seniority rights.
However, there are those who be-
lieve this maneuver was the first
step in a complete remuneration of
his Farmer-Laborism and bolt to
the G.. o. P.
State Treasurer julius Schmahl
said: "Mr. Shipstead has come a
long way toward the liberal Re-
publicanism of Gov. Stassen, and
it would indicate his probable NOM
nation by the Republicans as their
candidate in 1940."
With the Farmer-Labor party in
ruins as a result of fierce faction
alism and a stunning election de-
feat last year, he may have secret
ly decided to change bandwagons.
An exchange says, his quiet little
Senate shift the other day was the
first move to head off a strong Re-
publican contender for his seat
next year.

Dubois, high scoring forward, and
Pangburn staged a scoring duel.
With Decree starting the Indepen-

scoring spree with three buckets.
Pangburn paced him with a like

the logged efforts of Ethun's defen-

scoring and the winning bucket.
Jackson scored last for the locals.
Leading to 1 in the first quar-
ter the high school lads put on a
defensive described as their top
performance, battled the excessive
height of these Indies, and set the
pace throughout the ball game. In
the third quarter with Pangburn

throws they built up their strong

I hope the people will look at
these tax figures. believe we
should have q sales tax the same
as the gas tax, then everybody
would pay in some money. Now
everybody wants to draw out and
not put anything back. Cut the
farmers real estate one-half and
that will make up for sales tax.
Now don't mean that IL a man
buys a pair Of overalls for dollar,
that he should pay one dollar tax.
It should be on everything, but
should be within reason. I would
like to see vote taken on a sales
tax or a labor tax like some are
paying.
Just took these I mention as an
interesting comparison. We never
look at the common laborers as we
should as they work hard and con-
sumo more food than two office en-
ployees.

To The Herald:
The City Election will soon he
here, and 1t Is not too early to be
thinking Of aldermanic candidates.
If the past Is any criterion of the
present, there will be need to be
some work done in order to get
capable men to file, for it seems
increasingly difficult to find men
who are willing to give the time
which an aldermanic position de-
mands. Likewise, with SO many
more problems to contend with, and
the greatly increased responsibility
of the Council, there is greater OPP
portunity for furnishing economies
by having the most efficient govern
ment possible. From the taxpayers
standpoint, this is certainly a crit
ical time.
I doubt very much If any Of the
three retiring aldermen can be in
duced to file again, and I know
that many would not consider fill
ing because of the time 1t takes to
dispose of today's problems. Still
we must have aldermen and city
government, and we must have cap
able men. Indifference to this prob
lem would be grave neglect Of our
citizenship duties.
am wondering IL some good
would result If a number Of repre-
sentative citizens would give this
matter time and thought; for in
stance, a committee composed of
one individual from each local or
ganization. If such committee
could be formed, it might even be
advisable to continue its existence
after election, to study Council
problems and act as an advisory
board to the council.

On January 8, 1889, Franklin d.
Roosevelt, president of the United

attentive Congress and to a tense
and listening world the greatest
message that profane history has
vet recorded and incidentally, wrote
into that ample volume its most
illustrious page. Before that date
three like messages; they We're:
Cicero's Survivors Of Philippi,"
Robert Emmet's speech from the
scaffold and Lincoln's immortal
eulogy at the graves of those who
fell at Gettysburg; and to these
three our President, the Sir Laun-
fel Of Democracy, has added the
fourth and greatest Of them all,
greatest in that 1t carries Hope

led in the worlds glossary of foren-
sic literature, and though the
world may little heed or long re-
member this fortnight challenge

threaten civilization the forgotten
men and women throughout all
lands must inevitably and univer-
sally accept this heroic defense of
the Divine Philosophy of Human
Rights, Justice and Liberty.

Dear Editor:
read an item in the st. Cloud
Times which looks as though a
working mans tax has been levied.
A janitor in a town not over TWEEN
ty-five miles from st. Cloud, but in
another county, quit his job. He
was getting SIS per month and
went on PWA because he could
make more. Now the man hired
to take his place and to do the same
work gets $35 per month, less than
half Of what the other man was
getting. Now they are taxing that
man $40 per month, or $3.50 per
year for his job. Why should he
not get SIS per month the same
as the other man got?
Is that not a big tax? There are
others right here in our city in the
same boat. The man who sweeps
the streets in the summer and helps
to haul snow in the winter gets
$50 per month, and the policemen
get 500 per month. If the city can
afford to pay a policeman 500 per
month, it can and should pay the
other man at least $50 per month
That man is paying $40 per month
or $3.50 per year tax for his job, for
sweeping the streets of Sank Cen
ire.
The teachers in st. Paul were
afraid that sales tax would be
levied, so they voted it would be a
burden on the poor laboring man
to have a tax the same as our pres
ent gas tax. Now I think If the
laboring people could get $50 per
month they would be glad to pay
small sales tax. Our rural teach
ers get from $35 to $50 per month
If the st. Paul teachers get not less
than 500 per month, our country
teachers should get SIS per month
That would be $25 per month lab
or tax. If the st. Paul teachers
would receive a cut Of $25 per
month, that would mean a yearly
tax Of $225 they would be paying
to st. Paul.

LUTHERANS NOT

Reunion of Americas four and

Lutheran leaders in the United
States and Canada revealed Thurs
day.
The poll was conducted by DR.
Arthur Carl Piepkorn, Cleveland,
O.. and results presented to the Sd
annual Lutheran Pastors institute
being held at Pacific Lutheran
college at Falkland.
Leaders Of the American Luth-
Gran church and the Missouri
synod regarded achievement of
inter-communion between these
two conservative groups, with a
total membership OF near two mil
lion, as possible the poll revealed.
Similar hope of inter-communion
between the Swedish Augustana
synod and United Lutheran church
was expressed by leaders of the
two bodies it was reported. The
response of the leadership of the
Norwegian church of America
showed an inclination toward the
Missouri synod, while leaders of
United Danish Lutheran church
and the Lutheran Free church
maintained a non-commital atti-
tude. DR.. Piepkorn asserted.
Inter communion between the
Missouri synod and the United
Lutheran church within the stated
time was regarded as improbable
on both sides, Or. Piepkorn said.
