St. Paul (Minn.) labor is out for
Independent politics in earnest VIII
liam Mahoney, elected president by
the local Trades and Labor assembly
year ago, has consented to run for
mayor and there will be a full string
of council candidates. The victory
of progressive labor leaders, typified
by Mr.. Mahoney, over the political
machine leaders has been complete
since the last session of the legisla-
ture,. when labor got nothing but the
double-cross.
In Minneapolis, the sister city, la
Dor has been Independent of the old
parties for several years. 1t has sew
eral members in the city council and
would not have lost the city hall ex-
cept for the war hysteria in 1918. In
other cities and towns of the state
workers are organizing as the Work.
ing Peope's Nonpartisan Political
league and in several cities, such as
Winona and Brainerd, have won in
dependent victories.
This stirring Of labor constitutes a
strong factor in favor of the farmers
Nonpartisan league. The farmer in
dependent carried the rural districts
in 1918 in spit of the mob violence
and vicious use Of loyalty" With
labor holding up the city end, as was
not the case in 1918, combined
farmer-labor state ticket seems un-
beatable.

Announcement by President Com
pers that the American Federation of
Labor would oppose the new seaition
bill shows that that great body is 1T
last awake to the danger threSteninr
organised labor, but there are two
strong possibilities that the conserva-
tive labor leaders have awakened too
late. They have been traininR with
the political and financial wolves for 4
long time and the wolves have eottea
into = splendid position to devour
them. They now realize that the Sc
dition bills are loaded for big game
and not merely for q few desperate
persons who speculate on armed revo-
luton.
IF the American people and, in
fact, the majority Of the members Of
congress-" says Mr.. Gompers, were
awake to the dangers concealed in
this bill, a storm Of indignation would
sweep the nation.
1T can be used to kill free speech
and free assembly. It strikes dead
~ blow at legitimate organizations Of
labor or any other progressive move
ment for the betterment of the mass
es which may he opposed by the ad-
vocates of privilege and reaction.
"The inevitable result of this bill, if
enacted, would be to spread a reign
of terror over the United States, f.

supported in every manner which was
deemed wise, the great national inter
est Of agriculture. He told how the
government had sought to protect agri-
culture from great pests such as the
gypsy moth, the hrown-tail moth. the
boil weevil. or even the grasshopper-
all for the general welfare.
He showed how the government had
provided for the distribution Of seeds
Of new and useful varieties and how It
had provided for the Introduction and
protection OF insectivorcus birds and
how it had provided also for the estab-
lfshment and maintenance Of lahcrs-
tories for experiments in agricultural
chemistry. He told how later the h,l-
reau Of animal hushandry was estab-
lished to study and to disseminate In
formation as to the proper breeding
and as to the diseases of domestic ami
mails. He told later of how the
weather bureau was taken away from
the army and put in charge Of the de.
partment Of agriculture so that the
farmers and all interested in the pro,
duction and distribution of food might
have comprehensive Information as to
rainfall and weather representations.
Protecting Nations Food Supply.
From all this he reasoned that the
government recognized It as a proper
function OF government to encourage.
aid and protect agriculture. and he
held that II was the duty Of the gov
eminent to guard against any shortage
In the food supply Of the nation. There
fore. he said. when this great under
tying Industry stood In need OF funds
Tor operation Or for development, It
was clearly the duty OF the govern
ment and clearly within its raghtful
powers to provide the means BY which |
the necessary funds could be placed ut !
the disposal Of those engaged In the
Of the soil.
Here Is . great activity" he said,
which has received financial SUPPORT
from the foundation Of the govern
ment.
"Our position Is that the federal gov.
eminent was competent In the applica-
don OF money and investment OF
IN the stock Of the federal
and banks, to organize these banks
md to invest moneys In their stock, to
borrow money. and to loan money for
hese purposes, and to provide for the
ssue of bonds for these purposes. Be-
ng competent to do this, the govern
nent could organize whatever agencies
we're necessary and convenient and
ould authorize them to borrow to do
his thing for the government"
Bonds Had te Be Exempt.
Mr.. Hughes commended that as con-
ress could create the land banks as
and clothe them with
over to lend money and to issue
ondS, the government could, of course,
rotect these corporations and these
onds issued by them from discussion
r impairment by any action. He said
hat "as the power to tax was the !
over to Destroy" the government, of
purse. had the right to exempt these
onds from taxation. And this rule,
e said. had particular force in this
ase. as the bonds Of these banks had
be sold in competition with other
lx-exempt securities, and that with
ut their being tax exempt money
'uld not be secured for the farmers
low rates Of interest. To help the
lrmer the rate had to be low, and to
It the low rate the bonds had to be

Will Poland be strong enough and

ton is worrying European financiers
and opper-class people more than the
rear that their armies would be beat

The Bolshevists can drive east and

tion-Asiatic Turkey, the great oil
region OF Baku, Persia, AfRhanistan,
China and, as England especially
fears, India: The signing Of peace
treaties with the Bolsheviki offers no
protection to European rule, because
peace can not set up barriers against
the spread Of ideas. That is why Eng
Land and France stood for such in
PREVENTION as they could afford from,
the beginning. Now instead of the
pleasure of carving up Russia they
look on the possibility of seeing their
own territories pared away.

ity of the federal farm loan act.
Governments Duty 10 Aid Farming.
Mr.. Hughes pointed out that from
the earliest history at this nation there
has been continuous disbursement Of
public money in aid Of agricultural de-
velcpment. he showed how. while
congress had not attempted to operate
farms and had not stepped into any
state to legiSlate as to the use Of farm
lands. still congress had provided In

Ing the sidewalk nearly on a plane
with the first floor, as much of the
traffic must be moved by trucks. For
this reason Mr.. West asks that the
grade will be changed so that he can
raise the sidewalk to conform to the
floor OF his building. This would ne
cessitate the gradual raising of the
grade line east on Second from Lee
street and north on Government street
to an elevation of possibly 20 inches
at the junction of Second and Govern
ment streets, which at this point
would call for two steps.
Mr.. West proposes to construct
twelve-foot sidewalk on Lee and Gov
eminent streets and in addition do
nate the ground for the sidewalk on
Government streets. This is generous
on the part of Mr.. West and repre-
sents cost to him of probably $1,000.
Council has the legal right to grant
or refuse the request as 1t deems
proper. 1t is hard to see where there
can be any valid objection to it. and
this seems to be the view of the great
list OF prominent citizens and practi-
cal business men who have signed the
petition to Council recommending that
1t be granted.

Council but of every right thinking
