A radical retrenchment move is ac-

Populist, and his idea is based on the
fact that there has been a horizontal
reduction of about everything on
earth, except official salaries. He ar
CUES that penny saved is penny
earned" and that ali farmers pro-
ducts have been cut in two, as well as
the earnings of laborers. Why not. he
says, cut official pay down in the same
manner or in reasonable proportion?
State officers are in the same category,
and if their salaries had been thus cut
there would have been less effort on
the stump by state officials to keep
themselves in power. Mr. Hanna says
that II Railroad Commissioner Becker,
whose salary went on ''just the same,''
had been drawing s., or even So per

For the main argument of his posi-
tion Mr.. Hanna cites the case of Hen
nepln county and the salaries paid in
1898, as follows: Sheriff, salary and
allowance. $12, O56: court attendance,
$3.50; making total expense for that
office of $l5,641, The treasurer over
$4,000: and the auditor nearly $4,000;
and the total equity expense of Henne-
yin for its official list is stated to have
been 1921 $3.50.
Mr.. Hanna compares this and other
marked instances with the best re-
turns farmers can possibly make on
their Investment and labor, and con-
cludes that he has struck good move

a reduction law as he will bring in

There is one man on the Mesaba

is Rev. Gary, pastor OF a church at Vir-

for $500. Then he prayed and prayed
that Rockefeller would open his heart,

glance at the condition of society is
sufficient to show that it is already
upon us. The great armies of idle
people that overspread the land; the
multitude of strikes; the murders and
robberies everywhere reported; the
poverty of the masses; the excessive
taxation, and many other things that
precede and accompany revolution,

hand Of Providence can avert the ca

mention the defeat Of Hon. Ignatius
