COLLINS AND PROGRESS.

In an address before the convention
of the Minnesota Concrete Products
Association in st. Paul, last week,
Lieutenant-Governor Collins advised
the banqueting members Of the Asso-
citation not to class everybody who
advocates change of government as
"bolshevistic" or 'anarchistic.' y ''The
tendency of the ultra conservatives" :"
he said, "to label everything that
smacks of progress or change as
'bolshevistic'. or 'anarchistic' is danger
Gus and should be eurbed. Americans
who refuse to consider legal changes
and reforms in established customs or
laws are a bar to progress and rank
with the foreign agitators WHO go to
the opposite extreme and demand the
overthrow of government" Thus
Jake Preus' right-hand bower places
his chief and the latter's supporters
during the last campaign in the same
class as. the foreign agitators'' who
advocate -t'the overthrow Of govern
ment.". Wonder how the milyun-
percenters' feel since Little Louise's"

Official paper of New Ulm, MINI.
"Reel" Amer9canasm Propaganda.

IteCG ntcftCUNISHt IfOPUyW'tuU.
Propag: nda productions have been
unwelcome to moving picture pro-
ducers until very recently. People
go to the theatre to be entertained.
The don't want to be lectured," has
been their argument. But now this
attitude is changing. The National
Association of the Motion Picture
Industry has an "Americanism Com
mittee" to push production of strictly
propaganda pictures. The commit
tees idea of 'Americanism is an un-
questioning, docile acceptance of econ
omic conditions as they are, and an
irresistible inclina ton to indulge in un-
restrained violence toward all who
would better them. The committee
believes furthermore that this is the
spirit that Congress wishes to propa-
gate. for the publicity director of the
Metro Pictures Corporation of New
Y orll City puts at the head Of his an
nouncements to the press that The work
is "in cooperation with the Congress
of the United States"
1t takes at least two to cooperate.
So. according to the Metro Pictures
Corporation, Congress is cooperating
in burlesque performance. For in
stance, one of the plays, entitled,
strangers Beware" has for it's hero
the familiar libelous stage carciature
of an Irishman who spends his spare
time about pool room, but one even
ing attends mass meeting at which
lecture is announced on "Why there
is so much poverty in America" His
sweetheart is worried about his going
to so dangerous a place. Later in
the evening she passes by the hall, and
noting disturbance inside, calls the
police The officers find that the hero
has single-handed thrashed the entire
audience. His excuse is that "these
thievin' foreigners were knockin
America. -
The play may portray. an example
of reel Americanisn, but certainly not
of the real article. If Congress
if cooperating in efforts to discourage
discussion of the cause of poverty in
America they ought to tell their con-
stituents so. Since majority of these
constituents are poor, they ought tc
warn them that such discussion renders
participants liable to-. the charge OF
"knockin America" and to the penalty
of physical assault by. any ignorant
hoodlum. If it is not true that this
propaganda is in cooperation with
Congress, then there should be con-
gressional investigation Of The "Ameri-
canism Committee" to determine
whether some financial interest, not
otherwise , connected with motion
pictures, is not responsible for such
productions. An interest which OBJ.
jects to free discussion of the cause oi
American poverty must be proftinp
from economic misfortune of Ameri.
cans.

Don't Blame War Only.

Our present unfavorable conditions
are ascribed by the financial writer's
to the war and as contributing factors,
they generally mention, over-prosper-
Gus farmers and too independent
workers.
Far be it from us to want to white
wash war, but in our opinion the
trouble is not SO much the great de-
struction of war as the institutions and
methods which we allowed to develop
during the war. The war period was
marked by three important develop
ments in our business of gaining a
livelihood:
= /. There was vast stimulation to
manufacturing and to new manu-
featuring processes.
2. Through shortage of supplies and
activity of government boards manned
by $1.00 a year men, we developed an
all inclusive trust in each necessary
of life, and the Morgan syndicate into
supertrust commanding all business.
3. Rural people were unable to get
prices which balanced the increase in
city prices in trust commodities, and
up to the present have no means of
protecting themselves in the exchange.
With SOC corn and $3.50 wheat,
manufacturers with prices set to ocver
great margin OF monopoly, waste
and profit, and with the increased
manufacturing equipment, the aver
age trust can probably produce all the
farmers can buy in three to six months.
A vast increase, in foreign trade would
give the steady work needed by city
labor, but we can't get that because all
the other civilized nations except
Russia have developed just as we have
and we are not allowed to trade with
Russia.
City labor cannot live on six months
work year. It is no use for them tc
go to the country because the farms
are already producing more than car
be sold at cost of production.
There is nothing in sight but little
temporary relief now and then unit
we lay hold of the only thorough rene

Several farmers are ordering Nam
moth Clover Seed which they SOW
with their grain and will be used for
fall pasture and also plowed under for
green manure. Five or six pounds
sowed to the acre will make good fall
pasture. We get this through the
Farm Bureau at Brainerd at a cost of
18c a pound. Express charges are
nearly $500 a hundred, making the
total a little less than zoe pound,
which is less than $1,000 a bushel.
We can also get Alsike Glover for 22c

Cutting the Appropriation Pie.

The appropriations made by the
United States Congress in 1920 ag-
gregated $5,6S6, ,005, ,706, the largest
sum ever appropriated by our national
law-making body during peace-time.
Still, if this vast amount of money,
or even representative portion of it.,
had been appropriated for reconstruc-
ton work, which is badly needed in
this country, true patriots would not
murmur, for they would appreciate
the fact that it was a necessary ex-
penditure of large public funds.
But, of the total 1920 appropria-
tions of $5,686, zoos, ,706, according to
to DR.. Edward B. Rosa Of the United
States Bureau of Standards, $685.
49,, 1856, or 68 percent, goes for past
wars, while another 81 ,424, 1867, or
25 per cent, has ben appropriated for
future wars, . in spite Of the fact that
we lust got through fighting and
sacrificing to end bloody conflicts be-
tween the nations of the earth. Thus,
a little figuring will bring to light the
fact that Demon Mars gets a slice Of
the appropriation pie totaling $5,279,-
GIL 1868, or SO per cent.
The balance OF $4O6,3S4 ,443, or
only se.en percent OF the total amount,
represents that portion OF the aggregate
which the civil departments Of our
federal governments, the public works
ofevery KIND and nature and education
and science must divide amongst
themselves. The individual amounts
apportioned to the three latter items
are as follows: Civil departments,
$l81 ,087 ,225, or three per cent; public
works, $168,2O3,557 or three per cent,
and education and science, $57, ,093,661,
or onty ono per cent.
DO you think the pie is cut right?
Or do you believe that Uncle Sam
ought to spend more on education,
science ana the stimulation OF agri-
culture ana industry, especially during
the reconstruction perlod?'
