OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS SENATOR REED’S ATTACK ON VOLSTEAD y Senator Reed’s attack on Congressman Volstead jn which he indulged in unwarranted personalities, is not destnied to do the cause of booze any good. Everyone who has regm:d _for the dignity that attaches to the highest law-making body in the United States, irrespective of his flttitud_e on the prohibition pol- icy, will disapprove of Senator Reed’s dlspla: pf anger. He hqs given the nation a fine example of wet fanaticism In action. His ridicule of Congressman Volstead’s physical appearance was law enforcement, but it did Many foolish statements have been made by a num.be.r. of men of prominenceyagamst,the enforcement of the prohibition law, but no,mone;dudicrousf spectacle has ever been presented . toithe public than;this presented by the Senator from Missouri’ uent in his denunciation of those public serv- ants “sworn to uphold and preserve the Constitution” but who, in his opinion, are destroying it by insisting upon the enactment of a law that will make it more difficult for the bnot}egg_er to trample underfoot the Eighteenth article of that Constitution. Hear him. He says: A man who thinks more of getting a bootlegger than he does of preserving the palladium of human liberty is not fit to be in the legislative body and is not fit to be a citizen of the United States. Does the Senator believe that he is helping to “preserve the palladium of human Jiberty” by opposing a law, the sole pur- pose of which is to make effective the Eighteenth article of the Constitution? Itis stupendously important that somebpdy “get” the bootlegger if this “palladium of human.libertyi‘ is to be preserved. Even the Senator from Missouri will admit that the Eighteenth article is being violated on a large spa!e, Isn’t it important that something be done to check the criminall who is openly defying the Constitution? : O——— ‘ALL THE TAXES ARE PAID BY ALL THE PEOPLE growing graniloq One of the most preposterous of all the demagogical claims| about taxés is’ that some of them are “rich men’s taxes” and others “poor men’s taxes.” All taxes are necessarily paid by all the people. Put a tax on & rich man’s tenant house and the charge goes into the cost| upon which the rental charge is based. Put a tax on the man- ufacturer an it enters into the cost of production, which, in turn, deYermines sales cost paid by the consumer. The cost of government under existing conditions is so great that necessar- ily the bill must be paid by all of Uncle Sam’s millions. The theory thqt a scheme of taxation can be devised that will pro-; duce the revenue necessary to maintain the government and at the same time enable all but a few to escape participation in the payment of these taxes, is a sophistry too palpable to fool many eople. g What the country needs is not merely a shifting of tax bur- dens, but a lifting of every unnecessary item of expense in the vast sum total of the cost of government. Merciless reduction of public expenditures is the only genuine remedy for excessive| I Alex Sawyer, and Miss"h THE G LVIL fhich ¥ O SR | PERT) BEMIDJI DAY PIONEER AR RS S E RS R R R R R N * BUCK LAKE * S SRS SR LSRR R R The Misses Asca and Ruby Sawyer, and Alma Rogholt and Mr. Martin Rogholt spent Sunday nfien\oon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo An- derson. . publication. : i the Weekly Pioneer must reach this-office not later than Tussday parents; Mr. to'r‘:-‘iisimd their-h e, Aurday, coming' out froni"'Cass Lake it x&fly-e\refr‘; ’;‘Q ?_fi iy ) Son B‘l:es Mr, ai *flh}-]? y - 3y a Féne Murpl attended -the” Big Lake and Swenson Lake Sunday school group gather- ing picnic at the Ole Wold home last Sunday, as delegates from the Wood- land Union Sunday school.
