MAYOR NELSON'S OPPOSITION ABLE TO FIND FAULT IN THE TAX PROGRAM VOTED ON BY CITIZENS Voters Gave Almost Unanimous Consent in Providing for Improvements That Made for a Greater and Better City in the Northwest Section. Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III, NO. 13 MAYOR NELSON'S OPENABLE TO FIND FAULT PROGRAM VOTED Voters Gave Almost Unanimous Consentments That Made for a Green in the Northwest The opposition to Mayor Arthur E. Nelson has vainly attempted to inject "taxes" as an issue in the present city campaign. In virtually every public utterance made by Mayor Nelson's opponent, and in virtually every piece of printed matter issued by the opposition to Mayor Nelson, there has been some mention made of the alleged "high taxes," that are supposed to have resulted from the two years' administration under Mayor Nelson. Mayor Nelson, however, has conclusively shown that taxes for the two years of his administration are actually LOWER than for two years preceding his administration. To prove his assertions, Mayor Nelson asks the taxpayers of the community to examine and compare their tax statements for the last two years with the two years preceding his administration. An examination of the tax rates for the past four years, as disclosed by the official records of the county auditor and the county treasurer, shows the following table for the respective years: The Tax Issue. This table, it is pointed out by Mayor Nelson, shows that the total tax rate paid to the county treasurer is made up of three separate tax rates, i. e., the city, county and state tax rate. By adding the total tax rates for the years 1921 and 1922, which are the two years preceding Mayor Nelson's administration, we get a total of $138.50. By adding the total tax rates for the years 1923 and 1924, the two years of Mayor Nelson's administration, we get a total of $133.90. Deducting the total obtained for the years 1923 and 1924 we find a difference of $4.58 per every $1,000 of assessed valuation, which is the exact amount by which taxes for the two years of Mayor Nelson's administration are LOWER than for the two years preceding his administration. Mayor Nelson's explanation of the taxes as outlined above has completely disproven the statements made by his opposition, and has robbed this opposition of what it believed to be its strongest "scare" for the taxpayers and voters of St. Paul. Mayor Nelson frankly admits that taxes for the year have increased over the first year of his administration. But Mayor Nelson points out, too, that neither he nor the city council that has been in office for the past two years is in any way responsible for this increase in last year's taxes. Voter Gave Consent: "The people of St. Paul by their own vote or else by the vote of their representatives in the state legislature have voluntarily increased their taxes in order to provide needed schools, sewers and roads." Mayor Nelson points out to the taxpayers. "In the fall of 1922, we began a survey of the school conditions in St. Paul and found that we were dangerously overcrowded in schools in every section of the city. The commissioner of education, Mr. Ferguson, and myself, went into every section of the city, explained the situation to the voters of the city, asked them to investigate these conditions and then proposed a remedy for the bad school conditions. The voters investigated the school conditions, and when there was submitted a proposal for a $5,000,000 school bond issue to remedy the precarious school situation, the good people of St. Paul by a vote of more than 3 to 1, demanded and ordered that the city council go forward with its school program. "Similarly," Mayor Nelson points out, "there existed a year ago a most dangerous lack of adequate sewers in the city. In at least two sections of the city we had no sewers at all, and only unhealthy, menacing 'open sewers,' nothing more than open ditches were utilized by the people of these two sections of the city. These conditions constituted a dangerous menace to the health of the entire community. The attention of the people of St. Paul was called to these conditions. Again they were asked to investigate the truth of the statements made with reference to the inadequate sewer systems, and again 10 BULLETIN-APPEAL JOHN H. HARRIS ARTHUR E. NELSON the people of St. Paul, after careful investigation, went to the polls and voted by more than 5 to 1 to build the sewers the city needed so badly. Bill Submitted. "The city and county planning boards, the board of county commissioners, the members of the city council and the members of the St. Paul Association, Trades and Labor Assembly and all of the officers of the various improvement and civic clubs of the city indorsed the program for building permanent roads and highways in the city and county. Because part of the money was to be spent in the county, it was necessary to ask the state legislature to authorize the issuance of $6,000,000 in bonds for road and bridge purposes. "Accordingly," Mayor Nelson points out, "there was submitted to the state legislature a bill authorizing the county of Ramsey to issue this amount of bonds for the purposes mentioned above.

The bodies were covered with bullet and knife wounds and a deck of cards was scattered on the floor of the car. The gondola left New Orleans Friday night, remained in the Mobile yards all of Saturday, leaving here at noon Sunday. The bodies were piled on top of each other and the men had the appearance of being dead several hours. The county coroner of Escambia county at Brewton, Ala., is making an investigation.

STANLEY MEAT MARKET TO OPEN STORE NUMBER TWO The Stanley Meat Market has opened a new store at 383 Wabasha street known as Stanley Meat Market No. 2. It is outfitted to the very last detail that leads to efficient service and cleanliness. In other words, the most up-to-date market house in the Northwest. "Stanley Meats are Better. Stanley Prices are Lower," is the slogan that they have upheld since we started our first store. A visit to this store on the opening day will amply repay the housewife who is looking for bargains.

Mr. Wm. J. Gardner, 369 Jay street, well known and highly respected citizen, and beloved husband to Ida Gardner, died_Saturday evening at St. Joseph's hospital at 7 o'clock. Taken suddenly ill on Monday with chills and fever, Mr. Gardner was rushed to the hospital, where the best of medical skill and attention was given him, but owning to complications which later developed into plural pneumonia, caused his death. He is survived by a devoted wife and ten children. Old Resident of St. Paul. For the past forty-two years Mr. Gardner had made his—home in St. Paul. He was born in St. Louis, Mo., May 3, 1866. He arrived in this city in 1882 and was married to Miss Ida Williams, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Williams, who settled here in 1857. Their union was blessed with eleven children, all of whom, with the exception of the eldest child, Mrs. Ella Thompson, who passed away two years ago last March, are living. Mr. Gardner was formerly employed at The Irish American Club in the earlier days; leaving there he was appointed custodian at the Knights of Columbus hall, which position he held up to the time of his death, for twenty-five years. Member of Catholic Church. Member of Catholic Church. Ever since the organization of St. Peter's Claver Catholic church, Mr. Gardner had been a faithful member and was also a loyal member of the Catholic Order of Forresters, All Hallows Court No. 817. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 9:00 from the church, with Solemn Requiem High Mass by Father Theobald, assisted by two priests.

SIEGEL VOTED AGAINST NEGRO SOLDIER Candidate for Mayor Used Power of His Vote in Legislature to Beat Measure. George L. Siegel, candidate for Mayor of St. Paul, subject to desire of the voters Tuesday, was one of the members of the legislature who VOTED AGAINST a Negro Battalion Guard. The bill for an addition to the state militia came up in 1919. According to Journal of the house for the year of 1919 on page 976, House File 280, Mr. Siegel is credited with casting his vote against the creation of a Negro unit of the Minnesota National Guard. Those who believe Mr. Siegel to consider the Negro from an unprejudiced angle may do well to look up his record before Tuesday, May 6. Don't help put the wrong man in office and afterwards be sorry. There have been organizations which have sought to engender into the minds of our voters that Mr. Siegel is just as fair, capable and honest as the man he opposes. This sentiment as propounded by these men is lacking fact because the public has not been informed of the activities of Mr. Siegel prior to his candidacy for Mayor. Purpose Explained. Naturally it becomes obvious that any platform may be adopted or any promises made to favor a certain group whose voting strength may be called the casting vote. This has been done by the Siegel element. Promises based on futuristic success have been made the base to secure votes from our group. The unfortunate fact is that this kind of unstable propaganda has been distributed by some of our group and has been taken seriously by our voters. The voter must not be blinded by Mr. Siegel's promises after he gets in office. His record in the legislature in 1919 clearly demonstrates that he is not capable of rendering to the City of St. Paul a good government; nor is he sincere in the platform promise to deal squarely with us as citizens. Use Logical Reason. A Negro unit in the Minnesota National Guard would have been the pride of every Race citizen in Minnesota, had it not been for the fact that certain individuals of the caliber of George L. Siegel voted against the measure. Now Mr. Siegel seeks the support of the Negro of St. Paul, to help him become Mayor. Shall the voters of our group forget so soon that Mr. Siegel helped defeat the bill whereby we might have had a Race unit in the Minnesota National Guard. Our investigation of Mr. Siegel's record was made after his glowing campaign speeches. He is not the man for our Mayor. And there is on record at the State Capitol files that prove Mr. Siegel helped defeat the Negro unit in the Minnesota National Guard. Race voter, Mr. Siegel helped defeat us in 1919, so let us help defeat him next Tuesday. When you go to the polls Tuesday, remember why we have not a Race unit in the Minnesota National Guard. Bishop Brooks Returns to U.S. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, former pastor of Bethel church, now directing the works of the African Methodist church in West Africa, arrived in Baltimore last Saturday from abroad. Bishop Brooks declared that Africa needs the civilizing agencies of the white nations and missionaries. Instead of trying to drive the European nations out of Africa, he said, the slogan should be to encourage them to aid in the big work of civilizing heathen who have followed old customs for 50 centuries. Africa, he declared, has plenty of common laborers. It needs men of brains and wealth. Unless migrants have something to contribute, unless missionaries have something to carry with them besides the Bible, they might just as well stay in America. There is considerable talk about the appointment of another racial commission to study conditions in Haiti. Some Reasons Why the Voters Should Support Mayor Nelson Tuesday JOHN R.

SKIPTON N.A.A.C.P.Hold Sunday Forum The Forum of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met on last Sunday at Little Pilgrim, the last meeting of the season. It was conducted in the form of an Open Forum. Mr. Wm. T. Francis, attorney at law, gave a 10-minute talk on "Thought," some of the things we as a race fail to think of. Five-minute talks were given by Geo. W. Wills, S. E. Hall, Rev. L. W. Harris and Dr. V. D. Turner, who spoke on the failure of race men to take care of themselves properly, thereby causing premature death. Talks were continued by Mesdames O. C. Hall, R. F. Wilson and Marcie Vallee. The secretary of the Duluth branch, N. A. A. C. P., Mrs. Susie Evans, was called on and gave a very interesting talk. Drive solicitors reported memberships and paid pledges amounting to $17.00. It was decided that the opening meeting of the Forum next fall be held in the form of a mass meeting at one of the large churches. Excellent musical numbers were presented by St. James' A. M. E. choir. Mrs. J. Hirsch rendered a vocal solo. STEVE HOPKINS MASSEUR FOR ROSE ROOM GYM Steve Hopkins is now connected with the Rose Room gymnasium in the capacity of masseur.

Skipton is seeking re-election to the office of Comptroller solely on his record as an able and efficient, thoroughly experienced municipal accountant, according to his campaign statements. An examination into the record and experience of Comptroller Skipton discloses that his statements are based on whole truth—that he is exactly what he says he is—thoroughly experienced, capable and efficient. For more than twenty years, E. M. Skipton has been engaged in the business of accounting. Ten of these years have been spent in the office of the Comptroller, and for the past fourteen months, Mr. Skipton has been active Comptroller of the city of St. Paul. He was elected to this office by the members of the present city council, following the death of Jesse Foot, former city comptroller under whom Mr. Skipton served as chief deputy. Most of the present advanced systems of accounting in vogue in the Comptroller's office were inaugurated and installed by Mr. Skipton. His vast experience as a municipal accountant, together with his ten years of experience as an accountant for some of the largest establishments in St. Paul, have given him an intimate knowledge of the duties and demands visited on the City Comptroller. Importance Shown. It is an accepted fact that the office of City Comptroller is a very important part of the city's governmental machinery. Primarily it is a position requiring expert and thorough experience. The job needs the very best kind of an accountant, despite the fact that in previous years, some of the officials who held the job were not themselves expert accountants. The Comptroller must know intimately the workings of the several city departments, for he is the sole judge of the amounts of monies to be spent by each department. Mr. Skipton has qualified himself for the job through long years of executive and accounting experience. Voters at the May 6 election will undoubtedly cast their ballot for the best fitted by training and experience. An investigation into Mr. Skipton's intelligent selection. Twin City Band In First Parade Twin City Band In First Parade The Twin Cities Musicians made their initial appearance on the streets of the Twin Cities Monday. Led by a former 25th infantry drum major, the band began its parade at St. James avenue north, to Lyndale, thence to Seventh avenue, down Seventh street to Sixth avenue. Selections were played at Aldrich and Sixth avenue, also at 7th street and Sixth avenue. The band then proceeded to Washington and Tenth avenue south, parading to Eleventh avenue, then back to Washington. Numbers were played in front of the South Side club and the Keystone Billiard parlor. The band marched down Thirteenth avenue to Fourth street, then to Cedar and back to Seven Corners. After the Minneapolis parade the band went to St. Paul, beginning the line of march at Kent and Aurora streets; from Aurora to Rondo, then to Mackubin, where the first concert was given. From Mackubin the parade was eagerly followed to Western avenue, where another number was played; then to University avenue and back to the Mill City. This band is deserving of support because as Prof. Moore, the leader, says, "It's your boys and your band." The Maryland Legislature appropriated $125,000 for a Science Hall at Morgan College. P. H. James of Oklahoma City is the proprietor of a large bottling works. We have 47,000 children, 10 to 15 years of age, gainfully employed in non-agricultural pursuits. Horace A.

Harris of St. Paul was the principal speaker at the regular meeting of the Forum of the N. A. A. C. P. last Thursday night. In his masterful way Rev. Harris spoke of the Handicaps of the Negro, to an appreciative audience. The Civic club, recently organized by some of the men in Gary, New Duluth, have purchased a building for the purpose of opening a store. Mrs. Emily Posey of Solon Springs, Wis., who was recently operated on at St. Frances' hospital in Superior, returned home last week. Her friends wish for her a speedy recovery. Mr. Vernon Brown of this city is visiting his brother, Mr. Ernest Brown, in Salina, Kansas. People who don't attend the Sunday Forum surely miss something worth while. Come this Sunday. Mr. Walter Craycroft died at the Ancker hospital of tuberculosis. The funeral was held from Lyles Mortuary Chapel Saturday afternoon. Through the kindness of a life-long friend, Mr. William Carter of Minneapolis, the deceased received a Christian burial. Rev. H. L. P. Jones and Rev. Y. J. Gamble conducted the services. Many floral tributes were sent by the railroad men. MAYOR NELSON'S CRITICS FAIL TO PROVE TAX FLAWS (Continued from page 1) ber of the House of Representatives from Ramsey county, including Frank T. Starkey, president of the St. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly, voted unanimously for this bill, and every member of the Senate from Ramsey county with the exception of one, also voted unanimously for this road and bridge bond issue. "It is these three major improvement programs, authorized and ordered by the voters themselves, that are partly responsible for the increase in this year's taxes." Mayor Nelson emphasizes. "But a large part of the increase comes through the increase of more than 92 per cent in the state taxes which make up part of the tax total that is paid to the county treasurer," Mayor Nelson declares. "The people of St. Paul and Ramsey county are compelled to pay this state tax, despite the fact that they receive no 'direct' benefit, so far as their city or county governments are concerned. And in this connection, it must be borne in mind that neither the mayor nor the members of the county council have anything to say as regards fixing the amount of the state tax. It is determined solely by the members of the state legislature." Mayor Nelson sums up the tax situation briefly when he calls attention to the fact that "no mayor, no city council nor any city official can increase taxes." This is true, because the city charter expressly limits the expenditure of tax monies for all governmental purposes to an amount not to exceed $30.00 per capita of population. The People Have Say. "The city governments for the past six years," Mayor Nelson says, "have been expending the total of the $30.00 per capita. The Mayor and the city council cannot go beyond this amount, and only through an expressed vote of the people of St. Paul, the taxpayers themselves can the city government spend more than the $30.00 per capita." In this connection, it is perhaps well to remind the opposition to Mayor Nelson that if the people of St. Paul themselves want to spend more money for needed permanent public improvements in order to make St. Paul a better city in which to live and to do business, then such a procedure is entirely the business of the people of St. Paul. And when Mayor Nelson's opposition attempts to pick a quarrel with the Mayor for following out the express wishes of the people of St. Paul, they ought to remember that they are not quarreling with Mayor Nelson, but with the majority of the taxpayers and voters of the city.
