Were Your Taxes
Cut 27R Per Cent?
Radio Address Given Oct. 9, 1912.
BY HjaImar Petersen,
Fellow Citizens of Minnesota:

Fellow Citizens of Minnesota:
AT the outset / want to take this
opportunity to thank all of the many
men and women who supported me
in the primary campaign. Your con-
fidence in me is deeply appreciated
and l re-affirm my pledge that, as
governor, l will give this state an
honest, efficient and economical adj
ministration in the interest of all
our people.
Now that the primary election is
over, ask the support of all liberals
and progressives. l believe that my
record of service to the cause of
constructive liberalism warrants this
support.
The winning of the war is our first
and most important job. All of us
must make tremendous sacrifices, but
these sacrifices must be fairly and
equitably apportioned. No person
should be permitted to profiteer in
this time of critical emergency.
AS governor, 1 shall try my level
best to see to it that Minnesota bears
her full share of the war effort and
that the vast powers vested in gov
eminent are exercised in fair and
proper manner.

than 100000, amounting to 271a

that the vast powers vested in gov
eminent are exercised in a fair and
proper manner.
We are now in the midst of a polit-
ical campaign and have confidence
in the result.
More than l91, 900 votes, constitut-
ing AT per cent of the total Repub-
ican primary vote, were cast against
the incumbent governor. The vote
against the governor in the Repub-
ican primary was five times greater
this year than in 1910. In every part
of the state, there is widespread
determination to get rid of the die
tatorial Stassen political machine.
The Twin City daily press has tried
desperately to give the people the
impression that the governor won a
great victory in the primary. The
fact remains however, that 191, 900
citizens voted against the governor
in the Republican primary.
Concentrated wealth is trying to
perpetuate their control of this state
To this group the governor has sur
rendered. The governors opponents
in the Republican primary said just
that. Men and women who call them
selves liberals cannot in good con-
science help to perpetuate this situa-
ton.
Powerful interests have invested
big sums in the governor and are
fighting to protect that investment
That is why they want him as COVER
nor while the Legislature is in SEES
sion. That is why he wants to be
governor for four months in 1943.
want to talk to you about Mime
sofas iron ore resources and iron
ore taxes. This will make it neces-
sary to quote a few figures. It is
important that we have these facts
before us.
1t would be foolish to ask if your
taxes have been reduced 27R per
cent. But do you know that the
Stassen administration has permitted
271s per cent reduction of the min
ing companies iron ore occupation
tax?
Let us look at the figures In 1897
the occupation tax on iron ore
amounted to 1872 cents per ton. In
1941 the tax came to 1872 cents per
ton. 1t was reduced 271s per cent
~
ernor's chair.
A reduction of 27R per cent is a
big tax reduction. If you paid $10O
taxes on your home, farm, or bust
ness in 1887, you would now pay
only $72.50, if you had been treated
as the steel corporation was treated.
In 1897 over 100000 tons of
iron ore were mined and over So, 000,-
600 of occupation taxes were col
lected by the state. In 1941 the
number of tons mined went up to
nearly 81 ,O0O, OO0-an increase of over
100000 tons. But the occupation
taxes did not 60 up, they went down
There was actually decrease in tax
collections for 1941 of more than
100000. In other words, we find
that for 1941 smaller taxes were paid
than for 1887, despite the fact that
in l941 more tons-14 100000 more
tons-were mined.
Let me put it another way. II
occupation taxes had been collected
on the same basis as for 1887. more

Foreign Policy Group
Expects U. 5. Forces
To Enter Near East
Nuzi Drive to Suez
Would Split Anti-Axis
Front, Survey Holds

The Foreign Policy Association,
calling the Near East the keystone
of the Allied defense structure, said
Yesterday it was possible and even
probable that American combat
units-military, naval and aerial
will soon take up positions" there.
A Nazi drive to Suez and then
down the Red Sea, the association
said, could split the anti-Axis front
into two unccnnected sections.
Therefore, 1t contended, the stakes
are great enough to justify diversion
to that area of a considerable and
increasing proportion OF available
Allied military power.

The association, a privately fund
ed research organization, said IN
its survey.
cat present. the most pressing de-
mands for reinforcement come from
Southeast Asia, but, as Gen. Rom
mers Afrika Korps moves closer to
Suez, Allied strategists will have to
face again the problem of securing
the Near East"
It is essential that the Allies hold
the Near East in preparation Tor
the time when the superiority OF
their armies will enable them to
take the initiative, the report said.
The Mediterranean coast OF Eu-
rope opposite North Africa Is the
Nazis' most vulnerable flank" it as
serted. ultimately, the Allies should
be able to launch an offensive IN
that region which would carry the
war directly to the German strong
hold in Europe.
Land Bridge to East.
The Near Eastern region, lying
south of the Russian battlefront,
east OF the desert battleflelds OF
Iibya, and west of the Southeast
Asia zone of conflict. provides the
land bridge which unites Europe,
Asia and Africa.
Bv establishing control over this
land bridge, the report said, Hitler
could seize the nexus of the Allied
defensive position in the Eastern
Hemisphere and from there sever
important connections between Rus
sia and the outside world. Then,
As the Germans obtained bases OF

In Profitable Manner
CeIestion Dragon Reops
81 900 in Bills and Coins
For War Relief Fund

Washington's Chinese rang out
the old year yesterday, and today,
instead of having assorted head
aches, they had added nearly $1,000
to the Chinese War Relief Fund.
This is the year 4639 in the Chi
nese calendar-the Year of the
Horse. The year which ended yes
terday was the Year of the Snake
Yesterdays celebration centered
in the 600 block of H street NV,
known as Little China"
A brand-new dragon, the gift of
the Chinese National Salvation As
sociation to the Chinese Youth here,
paraded H street for nearly two
hours as Chinese youth took turns
slipping under the monsters skin
to keep him on his feet.
From door to door went the
dragon, whose appetite was only
satisfied with silver coins and dollar
bills-good United States currency.
Because the boys were busy keeping
the dragon in motion, Chinese girls
marched at its head with large
national flag spread out to catch
donations.
At one point Chinese citizen
from his balcony slowly f1oated
down 27 bills and then emptied
his pockets of change. In front Of
Lee Jung VANS restaurant the
dragon was brought up short by
an impressive sign bearing a big
"V" and an "ABCD" for the Allied
nations in the Pacific.
The letters were made up of cur
rency. From the base of the sign
hung leaves of lettuce-these for
the dragon personally.
There were firecrackers, too, which
the little Chinese boys threw under
the many feet of the dragon, just
to make sure he didn't lag in his
mission of mercy.
