He was next elected congressman from Minas Geraes but gave up his seat after a few months to become secretary of finance for his state| government. The state finances of Minas Geraes, like those of many other states of Brazil at that time, were in anything but a satisfactory condition and Bernades immediately set out to balance the budget by re- modeling the entire tax program. His success in this field was followed by another short period in the federal ccngress and then the governorship cf his state from 1918 to 1922. The ¥ of Bernardes for the presidency of the republic was based largely upon his success as a financial administrator.

Memberships in Brit- ish trade unions declined last year from 8,500,00 to 6,800,000, due part- ly to the unemployment and partly to desertions by women workers. There were 76 Labor members in the last parliment. The labor lead- ers hope to secure 200 seats at to- day’s elections and they will be greatly disappointed if they don’t at least have 150. Should the number be less than 100, the result will mean 2 violent turn on the part of the British voters against the radical platform of the laborites. If labor approximates 200 victories, probably nothing can prevent a labor govern- ment coming into power at the next following election. Llody George’s partisans are mnot cxpected to be numerous in the new House of Commons. If the Lloyd George liberals hold the balance of power, it will be suprising.To regain his political prestige ‘Lloyd George will probably have to form another party. Whether he will unite with the Arquith Liberals or with the Con- servatives he doubtless doesn’t know yet, himself. CUMMINS TO INTRODUCE ANTI-STRIKE MEASURE (By United Press) Washington, Nov. 15, (By Law- rence Martin, copyrighted 1922 by the United Press)—An anti-strike bill will be introduced by Senator Cummins of Iowa in the extra ses- sion of congress which meets Mon- day. This will be the key-stone measure in the program of indus- trial laws which Cummins, as chair- man of the interstate commerce com- mittee, will propose. He will try to get Harding to urge the enactment of this program either in his message to-the extra session nr to the regular December session. Cummins will confer with Harding cither today or tomorow. Republi- ‘| can legislators were amazed to hear of Cummin’s determination topre- |cent his anti-strike legislation as a means -for preventing future rail- road strikes. Most of them regard the present as the poorest time in recent years to suggest such a thing and there is little likelihood that the Cummins bill will receive serious consideration for a long time. VOICES STRONG PLEA FOR END OF ALL WARS By United Press) Fargo, N. D. Nov. 15—For the first time in history, the scientific mind is concentrating on the manu- facture of means for the slaughter of mankind. The next general war will mark the end of western- civili- zation. Raymond Robbins made. this dec- laration here in pleading for the end of all wars. Mr. Robbins, former major in the army, was commander- in-chief of the Red Cross Commission which went to Russia in1917. In order to outlaw war, he dec- lared public opinion must be’ educat- ed and an international court creat- ed. In itemizing the cost of the great war he included ten -million dead, five million permanently crip- pled, thirty million casualties and three hundred and fifty billion dol- lars worth oftwealth destroyed.

M: Gile of the' Security State bank was chosen treasurer of the Northern Minnedota Development as- sociation at the Grand Rapids meet- ing last week. ‘Mr. -Gile -went as a representative of the Bemidji Civ- ic and Commerce association. In his report to the association directors at Tuesday’s meeting Mr. Gile spoke of the splendid program provided at the Grand Rapids meet- ing, but stated that there was lack of interest from the various northern counties. Beltrami county has not been a member of the association the past few years, at least it has not been a contributing member and unless it becomes one, Mr. Gile feels that anotker from some other county should be selected in his stead. No action was taken by the board to reinstate its membership. ST.

TO PROPOSE ADEQUATE FUNDS FOR HIGHWAYS (Continued 1rom Page 1) - | plan that is giving Minnesota better roads in record time and at cost be- low average. Highway officials declare them- selves in favor of the gasoline tax under which the light cars pay more than the heavy machines and each car in proportion to the mileage it covers, but insist that it should only be a part of the tax. ‘They contend that taxable property value-consider- ations cannot be ignored in any fair and just plan. However, each cent a gallon on gasoline in Minnesota would take about $4 a year from the average car owner and yield $1,125, 000 annually for extra-or additional improvements on the roads, also it would permit tourists from other states to contribute :to the cost of roads they are using here. The great- er the good roads savings, they claim, would make it a profitable invest- ment.and the road program would be materially advanced from year to year. Commissioner Babcock, comment- ing. on the cry for lower taxes, said road levies in many ways are in a special class. Official records show the first reduction of nearly $1,300, 000 in county, township and village taxes from roads and bridges came the first year after the new highway plan took effect also that larger cuts, are indicted in future years. Local roads will be improved more rapidly in spite of reductions, the commis- Lin previous years ) WEDN ESDAY EVENING, NOV. 15, 1922 sioner said, because the state-now.is building ‘and maintaining main nigh- ways which formerly took a -big part of local funds. State work is being paid for entirely from federal aid and motor tax vehicle:receipts. The auto taxes represent money which would otherwise leave the state and go to automobile and' tire ‘manufacturers and oil refiners. Brief reference was made by Com- misioner Babcock to the implied un- derstanding under Amendment No. 1 that $10,000,000 a year would be provided: for: the; trunk highway sys- tem which serves four-fiifths of the ‘highway, traffic} of). thet state.; In- stead, current revenues have been $2,500,000 less than that Sum &nd aproximately 'a quarter ‘of Minnesota road . funde—$20,000,000 being the recent average for local‘road.pur- Poses. v N The average vehicle tax last yea was $16.73, ‘against ‘the $18 average pledged and the $20 predicted by experts assisting in framing the law. This alone curtailed the trunk high- way fund more than $400,000 last year. Reductions in federal aid appro- priations to half the amounts voted cost Minnesota more than $1,400,000 of trunk high- way revenue in each of the last two years. .

Ask your neighbor. Read this statement: Mrs. Louisa Oliver, 719 Beltrami Avenue, Bemidji, says: . “Just re- cently I had an attack of kidney trou- ble that had me feeling rather ot of sorts. My kidneys weren’t in proper condition and were a continual source | of annoyance, due to-their weakness and irregularity: Often during:these spells, I got quite dizzy and black specks seemed ' to float before my eyes. My back, too, gave me trouble; there was a steady, dull ache through it. A heavy, bearing-down feeling settled in my kidneys and had me tired out long before the day was over. These symptoms made me nervous and irritable. On the ad- vice of a friend I took Dsan’s Kidney | Pills, purchasing some at the City Drug Store. Doan’s helped me so much that I began a second-box. By using Doan’s according to directions, I was wonderfully relieved of this trouble.” Don’t simply ask for a kidney rem- edy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Oliver had.

Surfacing of these sections, however, will add greatly to the showings in the near future. - Reasonable provisions made to continue the highway program, Com- missioner Babcock said, Minnesota will live up to the reputation it now enjoys and be able the sooner to ad- vertise a complete system of ade- quate highways.

Bemidji, Minn. o .QEHI’EEEHEHu.!.flflug_!-fifln ARG " Desire Upholds Business The basic changes that have taken place in business during the past year or more—specifically the change in price levels and price tendencies—have caused business men everywhere to think less su- perficially and more fundamental- ly about business. Great basic facts which were but little realized, except by thinkers along economic lines, have now be- come clearer to the public at large and to business leaders in particu- lar. One such fact is that Desire is the foundation of business. It is the de- sire of the people for any article of commerce that makes it profitable to produce it. When that. desire fails all the agencies of its produc- fpion must cease to operate. This fact was considered aca- demic until the nation-wide cessa- tion of liberal buying made it a -matter of cardinalimportanee; and the question of the hour became the means, if any of restoring the pop- ular desire to.do business—the de- - sire to buy. It came to be seen that the public desire for the products of a busi- ness or an industry was ‘the only real and permanent asset. other assumed asset becam Every al bility when that desire subsided It is upon this basic fact that Ad- vertising rests. It is the function of Advertising to create desire. The desire that is creatad by ad- vertising is always some special- ized form of an elemental need. Elemental needs, in their simple form, are the raw material out of which must be created the Demand for the products of industry. This Demand, in its turn- upholds civil- ization itself. It is the one necessary thing that inspires all human activ- ity. It is the function of Art and In- dustry to take the raw materials of nature and refine the m into pro- ducts that constitute Supply. It is the function of Advertising to take the raw materials of elemental eed for food, shelter, and clothing “and refine them into the desires for he finest produects of Art and In- ustry, and these desirzas constitute Derand. Each function is as . im-. portant as the other. And now the time has come when this fact is re- alized as never before. The American Assosiation ef Advertising Agencies. (hmwmmmmhmum
