THr CONVENTION BACK no STAY.

The present preconVention primary law is coming in
for all kinds Of knocks and boosts To it is q
towards the return representative
ment to others it Ia q farce.
All criticism made by Democrats may well be dis
immensely by the primary law in the disintegratiOn
which 1t brought to the majority party.
The law is objected to on the ground OF expense
and yet the incurred only such to ensure
regularity in its conduct and eliminate the ooseness
which led to abuse of the old caucus system.
is objected to because in many places people took
little did to the polls to vote. This
fail to much important elections. For
instance the school board generally spends
than any other body and is often
dcu1t to get than of people out to the
nual school meeting
In counties steam roller methods were used at
the convention the justice Of such methods often
depends the point of view If ride the steam
rides you you think 1t is brutal
Another objection is that in many places the voter
had of knowing how delegate going to
vote and that delegates should be designated the bal
lot to how they stand This criticism is foolish. A
pledged delegate is delegate at ALL convention is
a deberatve body, and the delegate repre-
constituency, and it is his duty to represent the
majority opinion Of that constituency in the various
questions which before the convention His
influence and usefulness in politics depends his udg
ment and aithfulness in his representative

Theodore Christianson OF Dawson. who has been
receptive candidate the Republican nomination for
congress in the Seventh district, issued statement on
Monday that his would not be to the dis
trict convention which met at Wilmar yesterday.
Mr.. Christianson was only receptive candidate
willing candidate the majority Of the real Re-
pubcans Of the district wanted him. The Republicans
district met and selected their delegates and
majority delegates for Mt VolsteSd There
fore Mr.. Chrstianson withdrew and saved the party
from the destructive effect Of q convention nght.
In thus placing harmony above his personal ambt-
tion Mr. Chrsanson his fitness for larger
responsibilities when occasion arises.
Mr.. Christanson withdrew because he realized that
the and dry issue being forced In this district He
realizes that fight between himself and Mr. Volstead
this issue is impossible In his statement Mr. Christ
Hanson says
During the last four days. have visited several
points in the seventh district In order to learn what the
congressional situation is find that majority Of the
delegaeseec Of renominating Mr. Volstead

that he has at the present time margin OF votes

test for these would preciptate struggle that
might jeopardse the interests Of the Republican party
make the convention Endorsement liability to him who
received it. and furthermore hurt the things for which
Mr.. Volstead and both stand.
II also have learned during my recent visits that
enemies of Mr. Volsead have succeeded
in making the liquor issue the issue in the seventh dis

Morris Tribune:
What is becoming Of the money
the State of Minnesota receives from
the taxation of motor vehicles? That
is what the fourteen farmers Of Franz
mas, who gathered with scoops and
shovels and cleared a trail thru the
snow on the cut on the State road
to Cyrus last Wednesday, want to
know. Nearly everyone were car
owners and have paid out Rrd
earned cash for the repair and main
tenance of these same roads, yet are
obliged, when traffic conditions be-
come intolerable, to get out and help
themselves. Think Babcock and
few lesser lights must be affected
with burning ears from the remarks
made on the present system. We have
paid our money to the State more or
less cheerfully. Aren't we entitled
to a reasonable care of roads in re-
turn? Those present at the shovel
ing were: H. Selk, A. D. Firebaugh,
M. H. Firebaugh, s. L. Johnson, John
Hadler, Arne Hanson, B. v. Handorff
H. Grote, w. Weers, r. F. Darling,
J. D. Campbell, Albert Olson and Vic
Hanse. And nothing was said of
good time enjoyed by all either.
Editorial note:-Since June l,
1921, there has been spent for main
tenance on trunk highway No. %,
from Morris to the county line east,
$4,000. This is distance of seven
miles Stevens county car owners
paid $25,147 of taxes in 1921 on
cars and trucks and $676,327 has
been used to date on trunk highways
within the county under the Babcock
Good Roads plan put into effect last
April.
Concerning the above cOmmunica-
ton L. P. Zimmerman, superinten-
dent of maintenance of the ninth dis
trict, said:
All over the state local interests
commercial clubs, villages, cities or
counties or some organization outside
of the regular road highway organi-
cation have been taking care of snow
removal this year. The reason this
has been necessary is because of the
fact that if comprehensive snow re-
moval program were carried on the
funds would be so depleted that there
would not be enough left to do the
work which is more necessary.
Early in the season it became evil
dent to Mr.. Babcock that there would
not be funds available, or at least if
he did use funds for snow removal,
there would be such shortage that
our trunk highway system would suf-
fer throughout the coming traffic
season.
Everyone who has studied the
problem and given it thought will
agree that Mr.. Babcock used very
good judgment in his decision not to
use funds for snow removal. There
is no question but what his action
was for the best interests of all car
owners and tax payers. Because Of
this decision the different organiza-
lions named above were asked to take
upon themselves the removal Of such
snow as they thought was. necessary
and pay it from whatever funds were
available.
I'm most localities in the state this
was carried on by local organizations
in very efficient way. 1t showed

One of the chief reasons why our
post war period of reconstruction has
extended over SO long a time is the
unsound notion we have had that laws
will solve serious economic and So
cial problems. We have turned to
Congress and our state legislatures
for remedies when as a mater of fact
the only remedy a to be found
within ourselves individually. We
have cluttered up u statutes with
laws which only made the return to
stability more complicated instead of
easier. There are now signs OF a re-
volt against the passage OF number
less laws and it is a welcome ana
hopeful sign. The watchword for our
lawmakers in the future should be
fewer laws and less hampering with
private business and individual enter
prise. Progress is made by human
beings, not by Observation-Disclosures

two prominent citizens of River Falls

lage, enroute to Clam Lake, and,

was given the names of your fellow

that a certain road just traversed was
in rather poor condition. The item
concerning the road was given prom
inent space; no mention was made OF
the River Falls visitors. Deduct your
own deductions, but be lenient. We
wouldn't for the world mention any
names, but one of the sighted is a
