Records Show That
Prentiss Brown Stand
Nets Citizens Millions

Lauded by national magazines
such as TIME. and innumerable
newspaper editorials for his night
with our Commander-in-Ch Chief TO
keep the laboring mans food and
rent costs on parity with wages.
Senator Prentiss M. Brown Is a
candidate for reelection next
Tuesday. November 3.
Senator Brown, who has twelve
years continuous service in the
Nations capitol. and who as one
OF the senior Senators on Capitol
Hill was entrusted by President
Roosevelt to the very important
Job as floor leader for the first
Price Control Act, to keep farm
prices on comparative level with
wages. The law Is most important
TO the citizens OF Michigan. as
compared to other states. Mich
igan Is the first in war produc-
ton and has more wage earners
than any other state in the union.
When reduced to words OF one
syllable. the bill simply means
that the working man and woman
on salary will be able to purchase
meat, produce and other farm
products at \ comparative level
and with ceiling on future price
increases.
When President Roosevelt an
nounced in a radio address that
such legislation was necessary,
Senator Robert r. Wagner. chair
man OF the Banking and Currency
committee went to Senator Brown
"Prentiss," he said, you're the
man TO handle this bill because
you know the subject. But 1t is
a terrible thing to hand man
Just before election. You'll have

you for this job but IL you'd
rather not. I'll certainly under

Senator Brown took the Job, and
despite terrific political pressure
from the farm blocs OF the South
and West. and in the face OF
what looked like political suicide,
put II over. As pointed out In ed
itorials throughout the land. SEN
ator Prentiss NJ. Brown showed

Independent Doctor
Reyes Seeks Post Of
Lieutenant Governor

All the signs point to a grow
ing interest In the candidacy OF
DR.. Eugene C. Reyes for the
Republican nomination as Lieuten-
ant Governor. Although Doctor
Reyes Is relatively unknown In
the rural areas. news OF his
forceful personality and OF his
very solid achievements In med
icine. public health. and social
welfare Is attracting the atten-
ton OF more and more thought
full voters. who recognize In him
a vigorous prospect for state
administrative office which us
ually attracts only the political
hangers-on and the unassertive
''yes-man."
DR.. Keyes IS neither a political
hanger-on nor "yes-man. He
has always been an independent
and energetic campaigner. ana
his connection with his party Is
characterized more by what he
has done for II than by what II
has done for him. In his own
words, "A candidate for public
office should have something pos
tive TO offer the people and his
rarty. TOO often ne comes cur
rying favor and asking support;
too rarely does he come to the
voters eager to work for their
rights and interests rather than
his own.
81 want 10 be Lieutenant Gov
ernor because feel that II 10
high time something positive and
active was done with that orice.
The constitution sliots plenty OF
responsibility TO the Lieutenant
Governor. but too frequently the
man in the office shirks his du-
ties because he isn't really In
terested in the Job. To me It
would be privilege and high
honor TO fill the office with all
the energy and enthusiasm I pos
sess. am interested In the JOB
and solicit your vote at the COM
ing election.

DSR's Gilbert
Cleared Of Tax
Evasion Chdrqe

DSR Commissioner Samuel T.
Gilbert today stood indicated OF
charges of tax evasion, but never
theless. the tobacco firm which he
heads must pay personal property
taxes on S549 $50. instead of $751;
400 as was reported by the COM
pany.
The Detroit Common Council,
sitting as a board of tax review,
handed down the ruling after Gill
bert had made plea TO be
absolved Of the evasion charges.
what want Is vindication
from the charge that 1 gave the
tax assessors misleading inform
alton in an attempt TO chisel a
few lousy dollars from the city,"
Gilbert told the council.
The additional tax due is ap-
proximately S11, 800.
The difference of opinion in the
tax grows out of the value placed
on tobacco, which the DIESEL Wem-
mer Gilbert Corporation has in
warehouses in the city.
Gilbert contended that his firm
should not pay tax on $270,000
worth of Puerto Rico tobacco be-
cause it was imported. He said
$4,000 worth stored in Connec-
ticut should be exempt because the
bales were not opened and were
not stored on company property.
The tax assessors held that
Puerto Rico is a United States
possession and therefore its prod
ucts are not imports and the
Connecticut crop is taxable no
matter where stored.
