BURNQUIsT's ssWAR" COST
STATES TAXPAYERS $50, 600
Unnecessary Presence Of Guards at
internationally lls Proved
Quite Expensive.

1t cost Minnesota's taxpayers over
$4,000 a month to keep guards at
International Falls, according to pay
rolls approved by the adjutant general.
The guards were called in Deem
Der at the demand of E. w. Backus, mil
llonaire lumber operator and control
ling factor of the Minnesota, Dakota &
Western road, As of whose employees
were on strike.
The first payroll for the guards from
Dec. II to Jan. 10 was $14,623. In
addition $4,000 was spent for trans
portation and equipment.
Adjutant General Rhinow says that
up to Feb. Is the expense of maintaining
the guardsmen in Koochiching county
was $4,000.
The guards had little to do but enjoy
themselves as well as they could in the
cold on the Canadian border.
There have been three details of about
81 each sent to International Falls since
the governor sent the first there. = The
expenses Of this campaign are taken out
OF the national guard fund.
There never has been enough dis.
order at International Falls to Justify
the presence of troops and public senti-
ment was SO aroused at Sheriff Mcintosh
because he seconded Mr.. Backus' appeal
for demand for troops that the sheriff
disappeared and has not been heard
from for month.
Some weeks ago Gov. Burnquist ap.
pointed an acting sheriff in the per-
son of Twin City politician The
new sheriff advised that the troops
were unnecessary, and they have been
ordered home Minnesota taxpayers
next year will have to bear the $4,000
burden of protecting the Backus pro-
perties through a strike instigated be-
cause the paper mill owner wanted to
break contracts, and raise paper prices.

MANY ARE WAITING TO HOOK
UP WITH LOCAL ELEC-

Interest in the proposed new munich
pal power plant is steadily growing
among New Ulm's citizens. 1t is gen.
orally felt that the producing power
of the plant must be increased if the
present and prospective customers are
to be satisfied. And a new building of
the proposed kind will be of lasting cred
it to the present generation because it
will always tell of the true community
spirit that prevailed among the citizens
of New Ulm at the present time This
spirit will undoubtedly show itself at
the coming election when the bond issue
for the new plant will be voted on. In
order to emphasize the Importance of
the proposition and to separate it en-
tirely from political issues the city
council decided at one of its recent
meetings to call a separate election some
time after the regular spring election,

Small Wilson Vote Cuts Brown
County's Representation at the
State Convention.

The executive committee of the state
central committee of the Democratic
party has sent out call for the state
convention of Democrats which will
be held at the Minneapolis auditorium
on April 6, beginning at 1890 A. NJ.
The purpose of the state convention
is to elect four delegates at large and
two delegates from each congressional
district to represent this state at the
national convention to be held in San
Francisco next summer, to place a
national ticket in the field. A similar
number of alternates will be chosen and
twelve presidential electors will also be
elected.
On April first, precinct caucuses
will be held at the various polling places
in Brown county for the purpose of
choosing delegates to county con-
vention to be held at Sleepy Eye, Satur-
day, April 3, at / p. m. A county
organization will also be projected.
There will be SO delegates in the coun-
ty convention, of which New Ulrn will
be entitled to send 8. Sleepy Eye 5,
Springfield 8. Home and MulEgan
townships will be entitled to three each,
Hanska, Comfrey, Albin, Bashaw, Burns
town, Cottonwood, Eden, Lake Hanska,
LeavenWorth, Linden and Milford will
each be entitled to two, while the re-
naming precincts will have one each
The representation is based on the
vote for Wilson in the last presidential
election. Wilson received very small
vote in Brown county, hence the I'M
usually small representation in the
state convention. Likewise strong dem
ocratic townships, like Stark and Sigel,
have but one delegate in the county
convention by reason Of the small vote
for Wilson in 1916.

WILSON is BLAMED
FOR SUGAR SCANDAL
FAILURE TO BUY CUBAN CROP
COST AMERICANS OVER
100000, 900.
HIGH PRICES WERE BASED ON
HOME CROP FAILURE IN
LOUISIANA.

One-fortieth Of the sugar used in the
United States is produced in Louisiana.
The Louisiana crop last year was fail
ure-only about one-third of normal.
It's cost per pound was ruinously high.
But then so was the cost of the wheat
raised in eastern Montana and western
North Dakota, on the average any time
these past four years. The American
public was not compelled to pay for its
flour and its bread a price high enough
to yield a profit to the farmers who har-
vested four bushels Per acre in the
drouth area Of the Northwest.
Cuba's sugar crop last year was
100000 tons, or enough to supply the
United States. 1t was offered to the
United States government at IL
cents a pound. Seven members of the
sugar equalization board, appointed
by the president, urged that this offer
be accepted, as had similar offer the
previous year. One member advised
against it. Herbert Hoover advised
against it. The president took Hoover's
advice, although Hoover had been
out of the country and knew nothing of
the situation. The Cuban offer was
made first in August and again in
September. Meanwhile the high re-
tail price and the scant supply of sugar
had become national scandal The
president again refused the offer Of the
Cuban crop, which would have
made the retail price of sugar in the
United States IL or IL cents a pound.

DR.. WOLFGANC Knapp ASSUMES
CHANCELLORsHIP THROUGH
BERLIN COUP.
GENERAL STRIKE is CALLED
IN FIGHT AGAINST NEW
REGIME.

The German government of President

DR.. Wolfgang Kapp, president Of the
powerful fatherland party, has as
:suned the CHARACTERISTIC. General Luett-

minister Of defense. The revolution,
it is said, was peaceful and there were
no outbreaks anywhere in the empire.
Fall of the government following an
announcement Friday that a plot
had been discovered to overthrow the
Ebert regime Monarchists, pan-Ger-
mans and former military leaders were
said to be behind the upheaval. Rumors
Of the coming overthrow Of the gov
eminent had been persistent on the
streets for several m onths past
Move Was Too Late.
Minister Noske Immediately ordered
that DR.. Kapp be placed under arrest.
His move was too late, however, as the
revolutionists had spread disafection
among the military forces and Noske's
guards deserted him.
DR.. Kapp, the new chancellor, is one
OF the most violent reactionaries in all
Germany. AS head of the powerful
fatherland party he has long been re-
garded as an advocate for the restoration
of the monarchy. He has been reported

Germans who backed Won Hindenburg
