RECEIVING STRONG Manufacturers and Merchants Committee Urge Passage of Measure - The committee of Manufacturers and Merchants on Federal Taxation { with headquarters in Chicago propase 11 a-halt;on the'eyer. increasing mposed on the bustt ‘eéts of this.country. ; Otto Cullman, chairman of the Na- tional - Committee of:-Manufacturers and-Merchants, urges the passage of the Ralston-Nolan bill in congress to reduce the tax burden on business by one billion dollars. According ‘to Mr. Cummman support of more than 8,000 business firms with an aggre- gate capital of fourteen hundred mil-| lion . dollars has been ‘enlisted with the number rapidly increasing. v In his address Mr. Cullman: brought out the following surprises. & “The taxes now laid on. business are not'dnly of the most discouraging’ kind, but they are flagrantly unequal. According to conservative estimates over five sixths of the federal revenue is collected from industry, and less than one-sixth is collected from the privilege of land ownership—yet both kinds of properties are of équal value. Between $50,000,000,000 and $60,- 000,000,000 worth of vacant lands and idle natural resources do not pay a single cent of federal tax, either direct or indirect. | “wwhat we want today is more pro- duction; but onr tax laws’dlscourage' production in two ways: (1) The pro- ducer finds an increasing tax burden is piled on him for the crime of be- ing industrious; and (2), the specu- lator finds himself free from all fed- eral taxes because he holds his land out of use. 4 “Taxation of this sort not merely boosts the. cost of living, but it has. a most demoralizing effect on indus- try ,and if prolonged will bring on a severe business depressinn. “By reducing the taxes on indus- try ,and increasing the levy on the’ privilege ) of holding land, whether .|improved, or unimproved, ‘we shall encourage actual productive business ], and ) discourages ‘speculative holding|" of land and natural resources, there- by stimulating .production, increas- ing” the supply of goods, and reliev- ing the pressure gf high costs.” LOCAL HARDWARE GETS " TWO CARS MACHINERY An indication of the increasing number of farmers who are progress- ing in Bemidji vicinity is shown by the farm machinery being sold through the local dealers. One local firm, the Given Hardware company, have just completed unloading their third car of farm machinery, two cars having arrived this week. This firm states that it is impossi ble for them to get as much machin- ery in some lines as they have orders .is this true with re- gard to potato planters. From some, vicinities reports are coming of les- sened production on account of the shortage of farm labor and the high cost of same.

Youngert of Augustana eological seminary, Rock Island, T., who was one of the commission- ers of the National Lutheran Coun- ©ll to'investigate conditions in the 'war ridden countries, who also ad- dressed the first state meeting last week, 8ays, “that no discription, how- wer vivid, can picture the horror t stalks among millions of men, men, and children in these unfort- unate lands.” “When I think of the scenes of dtaryvation,” said Dr. Youngert, “I n searcely keep: back the tears. ‘when T sit down to eat in this land of pIentj' and remember the lack of food over there, my food almost chokes me. Could our people in Mirnnesota but know the poverty found midst the) wreckage and ruin'of war, the quota assigned for this state would be raig- ed mpany times over.” 4 .
