mM BVADERS’ ARE | CONTRACT * CXPEDIS | PLAY IT BITTERLY ATTACKED IN OLSON MESSAGE Minnesota Governor Would, Throw Non-Paying Firms Into Receivership St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 6—()—The| only Farmer-! Labor governor in the| ‘United States, Floyd B. Olson of Min- nesota, swung the “big stick” Tues- day to the special state legislative session, proceedings against “wilful tax evad-| ers,” and coupled with it advocacy of & $5,000,000 appropriation for the next | year for relief purposes. Addressing a joint meeting of the house and senate, Governor Olson! urged a $1 a barrel tax on beer and! advanced two liquor control plans,! with his principal recommendation a estate dispensary system confined to} package sales for consumption off the premises and protected by county op-; tion. He also suggested the plan be ratified by the voters at the next general election. In the event the legislature turns down the dispensary system and turns the sale of liquor over to private in- terests, legal enforcement powers should be centralized in the state, the governor said, and a state licensing system established. Would Aid Dry Areas He recommended that sale of in-| toxicating liquors should not be per-| mitted in the counties which cast a/ majority vote against repeal of the 18th amendment at the Sept. 12 elec- tion, unless the voters decide other- ‘wise under the county option. At the repeal election, 28 of the 87 counties voted dry. Whether liquor should be sold by the drink, he added, should be left to local governments which’ also should have power to own and oper- ate lMquor stores. Prefacing his remarks with the ob- servation that “there is every indi-! cation relief needs for the coming! winter will be heavy and that the un-| employment situation will continue to} be acute,” the governor said: “It is recommended that . . . laws . . authorizing the executive council to expend $750,000 per annum for the relief of destitute and disabled per-; sons, be amended so as to empower the executive council to expend the sum of $5,000,000 per annum for di- rect relief and work relief, and for the purpose of matching funds grant- ed to Minnesota by the federal gov- ernment. “In order that adequate funds may! be available for the relief of the des- titute and unemployed,” he continued, “it is absolutely essential that taxes be collected, particularly from those | who have the means and ability to, pay.” recommending receivership | | Many Are Not Paying Many corporations and individuals, the governor pointed out, “are will- fully refusing to pay such taxes” by taking advantage of legislation passed at the last session which decreed leniency in collection of tax monies. “Legislation should be enacted,” he} declared, “authorizing the state and: the political subdivisions thereof to; institute receivership proceedings} against tax delinquents immediately; upon the non-payment of taxes when! due, in the case of property having | an actual or potential income through} rents; or through the manufacture, of commodities; or through the sale; of mineral products; or through the rendering or sale of public service, | financial or otherwise.” Increased interest rates and penal-) ties on unpaid taxes on a progressive scale also were advocated by the gov- | ernor, who added “subject to the right of abatement in the tax commission, the period of redemption from non- payment of taxes, as extended at the last session of the legislature, should be terminated at once.” Grant Extradition Of Man to Tacoma Governor William Langer late ‘Tuesday ordered the extradition of J. P. Parkinson to Tacoma, Wash., where he faces charges of grand lar- ceny. In custody of an officer, Parkinson left Tuesday for Tacoma, where he is accused of collecting fees on prom- ises of furnishing employment to job seekers. It is alleged he failed to supply employment and operated a scheme designed to obtain money un- der false pretense.
