should not be taxed further. They
mostly assert that they are now be-
ing taxed out of business and that
other sources should be looked into
to furnish the three and half thous-
and millions desired at this time.
John L. Sullivan, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, on May 10 stated
to the committee, in reference to ex-
cess profits taxes, as follows: One
company whose profits in 1910 were
more than 5000 per cent larger than
in 1889 is subject to no excess-profits
tax whatever on 1910 earnings and
this is company which has thus far
received over $7O,O00,000 of defense
contracts. A large industrial company
which received over $3.50, 100000 of
defense contracts and had earnings
in 1910 of nearly 200 per cent larger
than in 1899 will pay no excess-profits
tax. 1t appears that only five out of
IL large, integrated steel companies
will be subject to eXceSs-profits tax
on the income of 1910, although steel
companies have in general received
huge amounts of defense orders.
These companies pay little or no ex-
cess-profits tax because they are
allowed a minimum credit of 8 per
cent of invested capital"
My contention is that, under present
day conditions, and knowing that
boys serve in our defense forces for
S21 a month, our nation should tax
excess profits 100 per cent. These
profits are made because of war con-
ditions and I sincerely hope we are
given an opportunity to vote for a
tax bill which will prevent the new
crop of millionaires, looming on the
horizon, from ripening again in
America.
1 am in full agreement with the
proposed raise in net income taxes.
If the present views of the Ways and
Means Committee are accepted by
Congress, a man with an income of
$4,000 year will pay an additional
$1,000 at least in taxes next year.
After all, what are the fairest
taxes? First, excess profits; secondly
net income tax, based on the ability
to pay; third, luxury taxes.
There is one thing we must all re-
member and that is that our taxes
will be heavy for years to come and
we might as well provide in our
budgets for surprise in that direct
ion.
1t is interesting to note that there
are many people, both in and out Of
Congress, who cheerfully advocate
every hugh expenditure of taxpayers
money and at the same time oppose
every tax measure brought up to
provide these same funds.
If our nation wants to spend, we
must tax, or go bankrupt.

a taxpayer but we feel the road is a
direct benefit and should be kept in
condition so that we can use it
when the weather is a little adverse
Perhaps a few figures will be
more pointed than congratulations.
The following information has been
obtained from the records at the
Court House and the Tax Commission
office in st. Paul. (Please weigh
and ponder these facts very careful
ly-they speak forcibly)
The county relief levy for 1928
was $22, 26954, an average of just
little better than 81 per capita; in
1885, SILL was levied, an average
of $3.50 per capita; in 1910, $97 ,459
was levied, an average of $4.53 per
capita.
The county levy for road and
bridge fund in 1923 was sos, 344.59;
and in 1910 it was $29,951. The
town levy for road and bridge fund
in 1928 was $4,514.19 and in 1910 it
was $1,980.82. The per capita levy
by the county and by the town in
1910 was only $297. (The relief
levy per capita was $4.53.) This
tells a story of itself.
Does it not seem that citizens who
are an asset to the community should
be worthy of first and foremost recog-
milton and consideration if COM
munity is going to continue to exist
and prosper? Are there citizens in
Pine county who are interested in
acting by rectifying the condition of
letting our relief increase yearly in
such appalling proportions? Are you
willing to pay, say in 1914, $6.67 per
capita for relief and continue in
creasing it year by year as has been
our experience in the past years?
The people of today are just as
healthy as they were in 1928, just
those few years back, and there are
hundreds in the county who have
the strength to help themselves if
they only will. We know human ma
ture in so many instances is the road
of least resistance.

WHO SAID TT FIRST?
weekly Valley Herald)

Verify your quotations is old adj
vice, but the advice is sometimes
difficult to follow. In the case of
many famous sayings it is hard to
find out who really said them first
There are many instances of striking
phrases which have been attributed
to prominent persons who had really
borrowed them from others.
For example, Lincoln's reference to
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people" Almost
identical words were used by John
Wycliffe in the 18th century, and by
Robespierre, Thomas Cooper, Joseph
Story, Daniel Webster and Theodore
Parker long before Lincoln uttered
them at Gettysburg.
Even the Golden Rule, which ap-
pears in two forms in the New Tes-
lament, was expressed by Confucius
five centuries before Christ, and by
other ancient teachers.
Perhaps the most catchy phrase
ever uttered by the late William
Jennings Bryan contained his "crown
of thorns and cross of gold" meta
phor, which is credited with securing
his nomination for the presidency in
1896. 1t has been and still is general
ly believed that the phrase was origi-
nal with Bryan, but the Congressional
Record shows that it was spoken by
Congressman Samuel w. Mccall in
a speech several months before.
No one whose words have been
appropriated by another could have
shown better spirit toward his imi-
tator than Mccall showed toward
Bryan in this instance. When ques-
toned about it later, Mccall said:
eyes, Bryan borrowed it from one
of my congressional speeches. And
probably I stole it from somebody
else"

RELIEF LOAD TOO GREAT
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American.
This is not sob story or a "True
Confession"-it is merely an Incl
dent out of the ordinary walks Of
life.
Back in 1924, the road around Sec
ton 35 in Hinckley was graded and
graveled. Since then we have had
nothing done to it except little
surface scraping". Surface scrap
ing" is only temporary relief for
our road difficulties. Every time we
ask for gravel for the road the an
swer always rings the same, "We
have no funds"
In this section we know we pay
approximately $1,000 in real estate
taxes, annually, let alone the other
kinds of direct taxation. We know
we have very little tax delinquency.
We know we are producers and
must get our products to the market
while they still have market value.
Gan average of 10c gallon for milk
is little enough.) We know as pro-
ducers, taxpayers, and loyal Ameri-
cans we help to keep the wheels of
the government running. In these
II years we have paid in real estate
taxes about $1,000 and received no
other direct benefit than little "sur-
face scraping" for the road. We
grant we have indirect benefits as
everyone else even though he is not

CONTRABAND OF WAR
(St. Paul Pioneer PreSs)

The Robin Moor affair has not yet
got to the stage of official note writ
ing, but the general outline of the
argument begins to appear.
The legal part of the argument
will turn on the question whether
the goods the American ship was
carrying to Capetown were contra
band of war. This is point on which
the American government has never
been in accord with either of the
two belligerents both in this war
and during our neutrality in the last
war. Contraband used to be defined
as war supplies or supplies that
could be used for war if intended
for the armed forces. But in modern
war just about everything is defined
as a war supply. The British are no
less sweeping in their definitions than

Americans can generally agree. This
nation does not like Hitler. He stands

But the United States did not create
Hitler Hitler is but a passing
figure on the stage of history. He
will die. He will be struck down

If We Spend, We Must Tax

One of Minnesota's congress-
men, Representative H. Carl
Andersen from the Seventh dis
trict, made some pertinent re-
marks about taxation in his col
umn to newspapers of his dis
trict. Mr.. Andersen who is a Re-
publican, talks out as real pro-
gressive when he states that the
fairest taxes are excess profits,
net income, and luxury taxes. To
that he could well add estate
and inheritance taxes. The con-
gresham is also strong for pay
ing as we 60. In fact he says that
eff our nation wants to spend, we
must tax or 60 bankrupt"
Representative Andersen's re-
marks are worthy of being repub-
published. Therefore, his article

Government Issues
BY Hjalmar Petersen.
Liberty and Organization

1t has been said, and truly so, that
in every sphere of life today there
are two essentials which compel
equal recognition: Liberty and or
ganization. Modern societies cannot
live and develop without the closest
and most complete organization. Even
the smallest production requires in
telligent effort and creative will,
which come from initiative and free
dom.
1t is to be greatly appreciated
that we have freedom of speech,
press and religion. But it is not
enough to have political democracy,
we must also have economic de-
mocracy We cannot enjoy freedom
of speech, freedom of religion, and
other freedoms unless we have Sc
curity, unless we have food and shell
ter. Liberty and organization must
be reconciled if the world is to be
saved from disaster.
Cooperative organizations m G
producers and consumers, among the
common people, the rank and file,
have done much toward elevating
and building security for the people.
Cooperation safeguards the indepen-
dence of the smaller farmer, because
with so many of his kind combining
in the sale of products or the pur-
chase of goods, doing it collectively,
they may enjoy advantages held pre-
viously only by the bigger enter
prises.
1t has been demonstrated, particu-
larly in Sweden, that consumer CO.
operatives have conquered the larg-
est trusts, in other words they have
put them in their place for the bene-
fit of members of the cooperatives as
well as the entire country. Apart
from their good moral influence CO.
oper tives also contribute much
toward removing the causes of war
1t seems that in Sweden they have
a good combination of some govern
ment ownership, producers and con-
sumers' cooperatives, and private
ownership. 1t is very noticeable
though, that personal initiative is al
ways encouraged. It is only when
certain individuals or large corpora
tons gain control in monopolistic
way that the government steps in with
public ownership or the cooperatives
take hold of the situation.
Apparently the people of Sweden
realize the danger of too much gov
eminent ownership. They realize
that when government intervenes in
the conduct of affairs, it is difficult
for the government to detach itself
from its military strength and the in
fluence which it gives the govern
ment. AS was said by that able Bel
GUM Senator, Louis de Brouckere
''when the government takes over
competition passes from the economic
to the diplomatic sphere, and it is al
ways to be feared that after inter-
vention by ambassadors will come
that of generals"
