MAJESTIC.

Described as smart co1hedy-drama
of society, Tom Moore's new Goldwyn
Picture, "A Map and His Money"
comes Friday. 1t was written by
Frederic S. Isham, author of a score
of popular novels and short stories,
and the skill of the experienced writer
is found not only in the plot of the
story, but in the accuracy of the char
acterizations. -sg ,
1t may have been fine for the women
of the country to take the positions
held by. the men while they served in
the Great War and helped make the
world safe to live in, but it is all wrong
for them to keep these positions when
their heroes come back home.
So firmly did they believe in those
principles that they made q photoplay
based on that theme, which has been
pleased by Famous PlayersLasky
Corporation as one Of their special
Paramount productions, under the
title, "Oh, You Women" which Will
be shown Monday and Tuesday.

EQUITY CONVENTION
: GOES PROGRESSIVE
A. c. Welch of Glencoe, Mimi.
Defeats Wilkinson by 232
to l49.
BY R. S. Wilcox.

St. Paul, Minn.-The Wilkinson
reactiOnary forces were decisivel!
beaten at the state convention of tn.
Minnesota union of the Society O
Equity, held here on June 3 and 4
when A. c. Welch Of Glencoe, League
leader in the house of representatives
at the last session, was elected presi
dent by vote of 232 to 149.
Colonel R. A. Wilkinson, the out
going president, was not candidate
for reelection. The issue, however
was clean cut.
colonel Wilkinson, member OF the
legislature, has opposed the Nonpar
tisan league program and all polit
ical cooperation Of the farmers. His
recent legislative record was especial
ly bad.
J. A. Urness, League representative
from Douglas county, in nominating
Representative Welch, scored Colonel
Wilkinson for attempting to split the
farmer forces and charged that he
did not represent the farming inter.
ests.
L. V. Samuelson of Lafayette was
nominated by the Wilkinson followers.
Intense Interest.
The interest was intense. While the
balloting was taking place scarcely a
murmur could be heard.
Every political string had been
pulled by the reactionary forces, who
we're determined to use the Equity to
disrupt the farmer movement
Announcement of the result was
greeted with loud applause. The men,
bers rushed to congratulate Repre-
sentative Welch on the victory.
The convention was more than six
months overdue. Members have been
1nsistent that it be called, but Colonel
Wilkinson refused.
A statewide gathering of Equity
members March % at St. Paul dis
regarded the president and issued the
call for, the meeting held this week.
Other officers elected are: William
Machemehl, Lester Prairie, vice presi-
dent; G. R. Whitaker, secretary-treas-
urer; c.. J. Arntsen, Wegdahl and
Otto Theven, Litchfield, directors.
Resolutions were passed giving the
state association power to sell and buy
for it's members. Another resolution
opposed the daylight saving law.

Washington, D. C.-What shall
Uncle Sam do for the returned sol
diers? Shall the distribution of new
farms or of homesteads be made only
to returned soldiers and sailors, or to
all citizens ready to cultivate them?
These two questions are being
threshed out before the house COM
mittee on public lands. Bills of all
sorts have been offered. No agree
ment is yet in sight.
Secretary of the Interior Lane
wants congress to appropriate several
hundred million dollars to be used in
wholesale reclamation Of cutover, arid
and swamp lands in big tracts, and for
the making of well-equipped farms.
In community groups, from these re-
claimed lands. He would have the
soldiers and sailors take the farms
under contract to purchase them by
payments distributed over 80 years.
Secretary of Labor Wilson asks that
congress follow this general scheme
until the point of sale is reached.
when he would have the farms leased
for life to the settlers, on easy terms,
but would not permit the settlers to
secure title which could be used for
speculative profits. He would have
civilians as we'll as soldiers and sailors
admitted to the privilege of the plan.
Against Direct Aid.
Majority Leader Mondell pronoses
to distribute raw lands to returned SOL
diers, and to loan them money with
which to do their own clearing. drain.
Ing or other improvements before
planting could begin. Senator Smoot
has ohered similar bill in the upper
branch Of congress. They are very
firmly opposed to any governmental
connection with the settler, once he
has been given his land.
Men Favor Baer-Gronna Bill.
The Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
National Weekly News, which is pro.
noting the Baer-Gronna bill providing
Z for payment of a bonus of $500 cash
to every discharged service man re-
Kardless of rank, is not impressed with
the Mondell or Lane plans. 1t declares
that the doughboy will be the best
Judge of his own needs after he gets
the cash, and that it is foolish to offer
farm to- a man who knows and cares
nothing about farming. The Private
Soldiers and Sailors Legion goes thi,
paper one better by demanding cash
bonus of $500 for every man, and the
opening up Of unused public lands TO,
them besides.
Big Deficit Worries.
IS. When the agricultural appropriation
bill was being debated in the house
Representative Moore of Pennsylva
nia, one Of the new organization, con
frolling the majority, began trying tc
! cut out various items which the com
nittee had drecommended. =:

fair doctrine to my Republican
! brethren, .hss said In defending his
actiop q hoRaI may be pardonad;
Willmar tribune., 1919-06-11

but I wish to observe that unless this
side of the house begins to retrench
it will have a mighty poor excuse with
which to go to the country when we
are charged with levy1ng additional
taxes upon the people, as we may be
charged in the very near future.
II want my Republican brethren to
know what they are up against. Next
year they will be called upon to meet
a deficiency which the Democrats left
on our hands Of nearly $4,000, ,000, ,000.' -
A member who had been studying
the estimates corrected Moore by
stating that the deficit would be $10,-
000,000,000.
OF course the small progressive ele-
ment, led by La Toilette and johnson
of California in tho senate, has been
pointing out the utter inadeQuacy of
the taxation schemes adopted by the
Democratic and Republican majority
ever since the first war revenue bill
was reported. But it has taken until
the end of May, 1919, for the stand
patters to discover that letting the
profiteers of lightly in the tax legis-
lation does not solve the problem of
national revenue.
kendrick Bill May Pass.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
predicts that the new congress will
pass the Kendrick bill, which places
the meat packing industry and tho
stockyards business under federal H.
cense. He says that the Kendrick bill
IS to be materially improved, although
he does not expect that even in its
final form it will meet his view Of
what is necessary to break the pack.

Whether It be due to the fact that

remarks, delivered May 26 and print
