The fact that millions of dollars are lost by the government through tax dodging by the rich and that the porrer classes are forced to pay regardless of this fact, is one :i‘b the. principal reasons for presént condi: ns. “The law must be enforced,”” is the gos- pel we hear thundered in eloquent terms from the platforms in every section of the country. It is just as important to com- mand ‘respect for the law affecting taxa« tion as it is to command respect for any other law. 3 : ; The succesaful violation of tax laws by {he rich will more quickly undermine the government than through violation of any other laws. Fraud, deceit, legal devices and trickery on-the part of millionaires and profiteers in making their returns on income taxes and surtaxes, causes dissatis- faction among those who do not and cannot practice these methods; : The result is that the people are flock- ing to men, who'have made it a business to, bring these practices' into. the public Yimelight, and who have been sincere in- the gospel of fairplay. ' i "4 'The people of the nation are fair mind- ed: They ‘want only-what is fair and: just. [They are up in arms against the tax dodg- ers and will continue the fight, until these dodgers pay their share of running-the government. i . § ‘. 3 ¥ i i . .LIGHT OF PUBLICITY One .of the most promising. signs of an Ireland in process of regeneration is séen in the fact that since the Irish Free State Government commenced work in earnest both the Cahinet Ministers and the people as”a whole have been coming to realizet mor:and more clearly that England was more and more clearly that England was troubles. Self government is indeed forc- ing many home truths upon the Irish peo- ple, and this one, that their troubles are 4 largely their own fault, is perhaps not the least poignant.

He is recognized as America’s foremost platform humorist and Bemidji people should avail themselves of this op- portunity, He will not deliever a lecture, but will furnish an evening of stories and music. Mr. Bingham was in Bemidji during one of the first chautauquas held in this city. He is funny to look at and funny to listen to. He is sure to please his aduience and should have a packed house Monday. night His humor is clean and refreshing and*as a “gloom chaser” he has the world beaten. — “BUY IN BEMIDJI” Don’t expect to pay‘more in Bemidji for good quality merchandise than elsewhere —you don’t have to. Bemidji merchants are real merchants in‘every sense of the word and they are in a postioin to buy right —therefore sell right. . You may be assured of one thing and that is, if an-article seems to cost more, in- variably it is of better quality. The more you buy at home, the less will be your taxes and overhead expense. Test this out for yourself and if you find we @re mistaken, take it up directly with your merchant—he will appreciate it. 7 F—— DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS Miss Leila Stanton, secretary of the Civic and Commerce “Association, made a most._timely suggestion last Wednesday, when she pointed out the need-and advan- tage of street decoration in order to drum up the proper holidayspirit. Her point of order was well taken:and the matter was referred to the proper com- mittee. Merchants can help this committee in many ways, if they will but secure a few ever green trees to tie to white way posts along the main street$ of the business.sec- tion.
