Bryant Library Has Set A New Record

Sank Centre people are book conscious, and they
are reading more books than people of any other
city between $500 and 5000 population in the state
The above statement is based the record made
by the Bryant Library last year. which has doubled
in book circulation 1885,
Bryant Library, in state record recently pub
lished, ranks first in circulation among all cities
having population of $500 to 5000. The library
ranks second in circulation per capita among cities
of all classes in the state The latter record is based
the 1880 census
This is healthy indication, for good books
the key to better education and enlightenment Sank
Centres library was built for good purpose and
the people of Sank Centre and community taking
advantage of it, great deal of credit for this
situation may be taken by the librarian and her
staff who through consistent effort have aided in
fostering this demand for books.
When good books available people show their
appreciation by reading them-that is the reason
for Bryant Lbrary's fine record.

House Acts to End Water Pollution

LOWER INTEREST
RATES URGED

Under a bill proposed by Chair
man Jones of the House Agricul-
tural Committee flat 80 interest
rate on farm loans would be
charged instead of the present 31s
% rate on Land Bank loans and
40 on Land Bank Commissioner
loans. The purpose Of the legis-
lation Is to do away with foreclo-
sures and deficiency judgments,
except in the case of willful and
negligible damage to the mort
gagged property. The proponents of
the measure assert that the Land
Banks could be made self-support-
ing by government guarantee of all
their future bonds, thereby making
possible the lower interest rates
proposed.
do not know how this program
squares with the Presidents views
as he has on two different occa-
sions vetoed bills to lower the in
terest rate on Land Bank loans.
SOME INTERESTING
FIGURES
Frequently some constituent
writes me in regard to government
finances. Often those who write
want to obtain information as to
the receipts and expenditures of
the various administrations since
the creation of our government.
To such these figures will prove
of interest. In the first 1441a
years Of the government, UP to the
present Roosevelt Administration,
the receipts of the government
were 81 billion 586 million dollars,
with expenditures totalling 112
billion 2O3 million dollars. During
the two Roosevelt Administrations
the receipts were 40 billion 80
million, expenditures IS billion 628
million, making a grand total for
all presidents of 131 billion 675
million in receipts and lit billion
831 million in expenditures.
From the above 1t will be noted
that Mr.. Roosevelt, in eight years,
the last two being estimated, has
spent 581s per cent as much as all
his predecessors put together in
144h years. 1t is interesting to
note that the Roosevelt Admins
tration has collected in taxes A
per cent as much as all the other
presidents combined, and under
him the national debt has been
almost doubled. Then we wonder
why the depression continues.
People with money are sitting
tight because they are afraid of
the future. Only through a res
toration of confidence can we
hope to have a return to normal
conditions, when it will be possible
for all who are employable to find
work.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT
1t Is not alone the little fellow
who has benefited from soil con-
servation payments, as is shown
by report made to Congress by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
| ministration for 1887. Over twenty
thousand farmers and corpora
tions received soil conservation
payments Of a thousand dollars or
more. Most of these big payments
went to insurance companies and
banks, which have in recent years
acquired large holdings under
foreclosure proceedings. The Met

We Still Pay Less For Government

American citizenship, even though we have the
bugaboo of filling out income tax blanks, has its
advantages over citizenship Of other nations, and
the fellow who howls and grows should consider
the fact that we are at peace and that taxes
are lower than those of other countries.
Income tax payments in England compared
with those of the United States should make Mr..
and Mrs. Average American very happy, for their
English cousins really do pay an income tax
An English married couple with wage income
of $1,000 a year pays tax of $246 An American
couple with earned income of $2,S00-$8O0 more
than the English coupe-pays but 80 cents federal
tax. State income tax brackets higher, and
small payments will be made by many. Even so,
the comparison should make feel much better
We are paying less for better government and
in the bargain we can sleep, work and play happily
because we are at peace Yet still shout
for economy and lower taxes-that is privilege
and as Americans we will exercise that privilege
whenever tax paying time is at hand.

Recklessness Cause For Most Accidents

Warning of rigid enforcement policy by
the State Department of Highways in regard to the
use of the drivers license suspension provision
given out this week. This, of course, is not aimed
at the careful driver who may inadvertently commit
an infraction of the driving law, but at those who
repeatedly violate traffic regulations.
Last year 2s44 drivers lost their rights to drive
penalty for violating Minnesota traffic laws,
and of these 1886 were by suspension for varying
periods of time and 1858 by outright revocation of
driving privileges
This new ruling is aimed at dangerous 10 per
cent says the Highway Department, in referring to
those drivers who repeatedly committed traffic law
violations and who were the most frequent causes
last year.
AS step to correct the bad driving practices
of the few for the protection of many, w. F. Rosen-
wald, state traffic and safety engineer, announced
that the department will:
Suspend, for a definite period of time,
the drivers license of any person who, twice
within tweve-month period, forfeits bail
for pleads guilty to, or is convicted Of speed
ing, careless reckless driving;
Revoke outright, required by law with
out privilege of restoration until the expira-
ton Of one year unless otherwise ordered by
the district court, the license Of any person
who within ~ months commits three offenses
of speeding, careless reckless driving;
Revoke the license Of any person
victed of hit and driving which results
in any personal injury, in addition to any
other penalty which the courts may impose.
In adopting this new policy the Highway De-
partment admits that fragrant violations of traffic
laws and drunken driving the cause for most
major accidents the highway, and to curb and
eliminate that cause drastic action is necessary.
