,oPsAHL WAS MIsQUoTED

According to a letter from ]. ). Opsahl
he was misguided with regard to ALLEGED
made pertaining to prices ex
pected by the farmers for birch bolts from
the. Lumber Associates. His letter explain
ing what he meant Id part is as follows:
TN your report you quote me as
saying thatI feared that the impress
sion would 60 out that the farmers
would expect to get better prices than
conditions would warrant.
sWill you please correct that part
attributed to me? My statement to
the Commercial club was that the
farmers resented the idea of being
asked to bring in and be expected to
furnish the cream or select part OF
their birch bolts Or: logs at about
dollar per cord above the ruling price
of birch cordwood. The price Of the
balance of the birch trees not cut into
bolts or logs would be very little body
wood, and therefore Of lower quail:
'ity than usual-hence a Gull wood
and lower in value than heretofore.
~''Bemidji's future depends largely
on the prosperity Of its farm and fac
tory population. And It seems that It
would be the best policy to follow in
Henry FOrd,s tracks and endeaVor TO
increase the income of our producers 4
who make the Bemidji district their
bonafide homes and spend the bulk OF
their incomes here-rather than work

SUBSIDY B SCHEME
Two Militant Congressman Re-

Washington. March 23.--"You

sidy BILL" is the Substance of let
ter to the Democratic members Of
the shipping board by .Congressmen
Edwin L., Davis and Rufus Hardy,
members of the marine and fisheries
committee of the house. The. two
law makers were asked to withhold
their. final judgment on thes ship
subsidy bill until hearings are COM
pleted.
In declining this suggestion, the
congressman. say they will not be
parties to rushing this legislation
through congress-. They declare that
if the bill is thoroughly understood
it will be overwhelmingly rejected
by both parties.
you: may tell Chairman Lasker
Of the shipping board. that we are
not so easily ensnared as some peo-
pie. he has come. in contact with,
and that we respectfully refuse to

said.
1T is generally understood that
Mr. Lasker> was. appointed chairman
Of the shipping board, because of
very shrewd and valuab1 political
service rendered during: the last
campaign: he certainly could not be
appointed because of any knowl-
edge Of shipping matters. His ap-
pointment;, from a political stand
point, has been fully Justified. be-
cause he has demonstrated, beyond
Question that he is a master poll
tician; .''
after months Of laborious effort
he has succeeded in committing the
president to an elaborate and ex-
pensive ship subsidy. program, a
position never taken by a previous
president.
More than that, Mr.. Lasker has
enmeshed all the members of the
shipping board in this program.
This is especially significant in view
of the fact that until now perhaps
no high government official in this
country has openly and boldly ad-
vocated a ship Subsidy since the en-
phatic rejection Of such suggestions:
many years ago."

BY JOHN p. FREY

Our courts of equity never did de-
pend upon English authorities for
precedents to justify them in the is
suing of labor injunctions. How then
did they beget these precedents or
acquire the. authority?
The question is natural one, and
the answer illustrative Of the policy
Of our American courts. AS they did
not find prccedents in the British
courts, or those of any other, civil
lied country, they made them, like
Topsy, "they just grew up" AS the
Constitution ond the law gave them
no authority, they boldly assumed it.
This is what every official, judicial
or quasi judicial functionary, has
done when usurping power which
has no basis for either in the Consti-
tuition or III the law. T.,
B judicial Conscience
The condition thus created by the
DEGREES Of our equity courts in con-
nection with industrial disputes has
given rise to- the growing resentment
against government by Injunction.
While this term is expressive and
comprehensive, we prefer 10 apply
another which is as comprehensive
and perhaps more truly descriptive
-"government .by judicial consci-
ence." The equity. judge not. being
governed by common or statutory
law but being guided wholly by his
