GOMMISSION IS PLEASED WITH VISIT IN BEMIDJI Members State Tax Board Consulted With County Board.—Armson Not Gubernatorial Candidate. J. G. Armson, chairman; O. M. Hall and Samuel Lord, constituting the membership of the Minnesota State Tax commission, have visited and consulted with the members of the Beltrami board of county com- missioners, in their ‘“trip around the circle” of northern Minnesota counties, and their counsel as to methods to pursue in obtaining equal and just assessments and taxes has been of much value to local officers. Speaking of the conditions in Bel- trami county, with relation to tax matters, Chairman Armson said: “You appear to have a county board, now, that is desirous of doing all thatis possible toeconomicallyand conservatively transact the business of the county, and put the county to no greater expense than is absolutely necessary, and still to allow the natural expansion and official growth of the county along progres- sive lines. “As we have impressed upon all county officials in this section, your board appears to be already imbued with the commendable idea that assessments should be equal and fair and taxation equally distributed | also in a fair and impartial manner. That is all that we, as members of the State Tax commission, desire, and we hope that you will hage no further trouble along these lines.” Of late there has been much talk of the available timber in the democratic party for the gubernator- ial candidacy, and a few local peo- ple intimated that Mr. Armson might be in the limelight of the so- called “kitchen cabinet” as a “‘dark horse.” Asked as to his standing in this matter, Mr. Armson very entire year. well appreciated. promptly replied: “I am not a candidate for the nomination for governor on any ticket, nor do I intend to become a candidate. That is final with me.” Will Play Little Falls.

GOVERNOR EBERHART TO SPEAK AT SAUK GENTRE Will Be at the ‘“Centre” February 10 and Will Speak Here Next Evening. Although the members of the North-Central Minnesota Editorial association were deprived of the opportunity of hearing Governor Eberhart speak, on the occasion of their recent meeting at Sauk Centre, the good people of that town are not to be given the go-by, as the governor will speak at Sauk Centre on February 10th, prior to coming to Bemidji the following day to address the members of the North- Central Minnesota Editorial associa- tion, who will hold their annual meeting in this city February 10-11.

Welles, president of the North Central Minnesota Editorial Asso- ciation, that the chief executive of the state will surely be here on the 10th of February to deliver a public address. ““The subject of this address, according to Mr. Wheelock, will be: ‘The Real Meaning of Conservation of Resources.” The governor will be here a day and when he leaves will proceed to Bemidji, where he will address the teachers of northern Minnesota. Preparations are under way for the proper entertianment of the chief executive by a citizens’ committee here.” Johnson Speaks ‘‘Right Qut.” William E. Johnson, chief special officer of the U. S. Indian Depart- ment in stamping out the liquor traffic among Indians, is exceed- ingly plain-spoken when referring to sale of liquor to Indians.

They have befouled the good name of yqir town throughout the state. Th(y have committed felony daily in yqi midst. I know of none of them thst do not richly serve a penitentiary sentence for their crimes. For thpse reasons they deserve and shall receive from me no con- sideration whatever.” Bemidji saloonkeepers will do well to continuf watchful in the matter of selling liqor to any perspn whom they do not absolutely kn¢w is not of Indian blood.

New York, Jan. 6.—“With Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell not only participants but moving spirits in the movement, as well as officers in good standing in the Civic federation, Ij cannot reconcile my own mind with what seems to me to ‘be such an ex- tremely inconsistent proposition, nor can I find it in my best conscience. to JOHN H. KIRBY. wink at the danger to the best inter- ests of our common country that lies hidden in the endorsement by your organization of those men and the doctrines they preach and which, in 80 far as they can, they execute in the name of the Civic federation and for which that organization will, some ;iay, have to recognize its responsibil- ty.” John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, O., pres- ident -of the National Association of Manufacturers, in a letter to Seth Low, president of the National Civie federation, thus frankly expresses his opinion that the Manufacturers’ asso- ciation should not accept the invita- tion to participate in the coming Civic federation conference at Washington.
