Alfred Anderson
Is Praised

Workers who seek the election
of Alfred w. Anderson to the Mu-
nicipal Court bench pointed out in
a release to the newspapers Thurs
day that:
"On June Ia the citizens of Min
neapolis will again exercise their
American Privilege of selecting
four judges for a full term of six
years.
alfred W. Anderson has sue
cessfully practiced law for twenty
two years and is presented by his
supporters as capable and well
qualified to render to the public the
type of service the wartime prob
lens will demand. During the first
World War he served as lieutenant
in the United States Army.
"Mr. Anderson's service during
the World War included several
months on the personal staff of
General Foot at Camp Dodge,
Iowa, in the 161st Artillery Brig
ade. He also served with the 334th
Field Artillery and the 26th Field
Artillery. He is a graduate of the
Central Officers Training School
at Louisville, Kentucky, and the
School of Fire at Fort Sill, Okla.
"Mr. Anderson is 49 years old,
has lived in Minnesota all of his
life with the exception of the year
and a half spent in the United
States Army. His residence is 1886
Second Avenue So. He is married
and has three sons and three
daughters"

fee. Join the NAACP.-Advt.

AL Hansen
Summarizes Duties
OF Tax Board

Al. Hansen, candidate for re-
election to Board of Estimate and
Taxation, said this week:
an 1912, the city of Minneapolis
had an outstanding indebtedness of
$15,918.O0 which carried an interest
rate obligating the city to a total
of $11, 651, $4,000 in interest charges
to date of maturity.
On January l, 1913, the city of
Minneapolis had a gross debt of
$75,984, 745.00 which carried an in
terest rate obligating the city to the
extent of 81, 463, $4,000 to date of
maturity or a saving in interest
charges of $187, 10000 or roughly,
five (5) times the Indebtedness of
1912. This has been accomplished
by refnancing operations of retir-
ing bonds of a high interest rate
with bonds of a low interest rate.
Some of the refunding bonds carry
as low as 1873 per cent interest in
stead of five, six or seven per cent,
which is proved by the fine finan-
cial position of the city with the
financial interests of the east.
We have furnished the various
city departments with sufficient
funds to carry on with, and hold
our tax rate at 100 mills in spite
of an annual loss of revenue of one
million dollars ($1,000,000.00)
caused by reduced valuation of real
estate and the homestead exemp-
ton law. In addition to that, we
are setting aside $780, 100000 per
year to be used for municipal i'm
provements after the war is over
without the need of having to
finance them to that extent with
bond sales. The $500, 100000 annual
savings is not lying idle in the
banks. 1t is invested in U. S. Sc
curities paying two and one-half
(21a) per cent interest which gives
the city neat, annual profit" Mr..
Hansen's committee said: "The
fiscal experience of Al Hansen is
necessary to the financial welfare
of the city. 1t is, therefore, to the
best interests of the city of Mime
apolis to have Al Hansen reelected
a member of the Board of Estimate
and Taxation"

Jobst, 1410 Thirteenth Avenue

elected or not.

Kline Supporters
Point to His
Accomplishments

In statement issued Wednesday
supporters of the reelection of
Mayor Marvin Kline said:
Minneapolis is in better posi-
ton today to face a glorious future
than it has been in many years.
This is due in large measure to
Mayor Marvin L. Kline who has
worked hard and stayed on the job
to insure that the city was unified
behind civilian defense and took
steps to develop such important
projects as the Sister Kenny Insti-
tute and the Twin City Airport.
Another very important factor
has been the police administration
of the city. Mayor Kline promised
when he took office that control of
the police department would be re-
turned to the city hall where it
belonged and that police officials
would be given complete coopera-
ton in enforcing the law without
fear or favor.
"The result has been that the bad
publicity that Minneapolis has
been given in newspapers through
out Minnesota and the nation in
the past has been turned into good
publicity and Minneapolis has bene-
flied accordingly.
'The story of the transformation
is told best in reports Of grand
juries. Before Kline took office as
mayor, it was common for grand
juries to lash out against law en-
forcement in the city. Since Kline
became mayor, not one grand jury
has complained about the manner
in which the police department has
been doing its duty. On the con-
trary, a number of juries have gone
out Of their way to praise the de-
partment for its activities.
"The Sister Kenny Institute also
has been an achievement that has
won favorable publicity for Min
neapolis not only throughout
America, but around the world.
"Due to legislation passed by the
recent legislature. making possible
Twin City Airport, it is agreed
also that Minneapolis is on the
Threshold Of tremendous future
development as an air transporta-
ton center. Mayor Kline, together
with other interested public off
Gals and public-spirited citizens,
worked for more than eighteen
months to make the Twin City Air
port venture a reality"

(filled with ice cubes) and threw it
right in his mug. When hubby &C
tually realized what had happened,
wife had gone back to mama. ('Tis
said hubby really loves his wife and
is now trying to make amends, but
as yet his pleading has fallen on
deaf ears.)
Well in ending this weeks col
umn, let's not forget the saying,
Today is a good day to stop grum-
bling. 1t does not pay, cannot help,
and is as contagious as smallpox"

CALCIUM
The Great Human
Need

People Of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest Of

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
the greater the need for more Of
dairy products in the regular every
day diet Of all of Us.
Fresh fluid pasteuriZed milk

NaUy Bgugs Inclined To Favor SuruUa OF College Sports
SACRED HEART, TECH
 FRESHMEN WIN

After two or more years in the high school freshman baseball league in which its teams took con- sistent drubbings but were good sports about it, continuing to play: the Sacred Heart parish team of 1943 has started auspiciously by winning two straight games; it's latest victory to nip and tuck win over Wilby Frosh last night, the winners needing four run rally in the last inning to get away with the game. Wilby scored first, with run in the second; but the Hearts went ahead with two in the fourth; Wilby led 3-2 in the sixth and 5-6 in the seventh but the Hearts got two hits and some walks to win in the ninth.
 LeavenWorth set a fine example for its varsity team which meets Crosby for the second time Satur- day; when it pinned an 8 to set- back on the Crosby Frosh; gaining 2 runs in the second and third in- ming; Lattimer and Leach holding the losers to six hits.
