PAUL REDS WHERE TO GO
Communist Aim Is to Confuse and
Divide PrOgressives

WASHINGTON, d, C.-June g.
Bob LeFollette has told the Commu-
mist crowd running the st. Paul June
II convention here where to get off
at.
In a letter sent to Attorney Gen.
eral Herman l. Ekern of Wisconsin,
the Badger Senator protests against
allowing the Reds to enter Progress
sive ranks and warns Progressives
to stay out of "any movement which
makes common cause with any COM
munist organization"
In addition to dealing this blow to
the hopes Of the Reds-the clearest
statement on that issue yet made by
La Toilette, and final in every sense
as marking the cleavage between
communism and democracy the
Senator demands a house-cleaning
in both major parties and foresees
wrath to come if that is not done.
My Dear Mr.. Ekern: have your
letter Of May nth saying that rgAMS
Of my friends in Wisconsin are an
xious to know my attitude toward
the "Farmer-Labor-Pr Progressive Con-
vention" called to meet at st. Paul,
June 17th.
l should not feel it incumbent up
on me to declare my attitude except
that my name is being used by the
promoters of that convention in such
a way as to convey the impression
that it has my approval and as a re-
suit some of my friends in different
parts of the country contemplate at
tending the st. Paul Convention. Be-
cause of these facts, feel it my duty
to state my view frankly.
have no doubt that very many of
those who have participated in bring
ing about the st. Paul Convention
have been actuated by the purest
desire to promote genuine political
and economic progress.
Reds to Disrupt Movement
Nevertheless, in my judgment, the
June II convention will not command
the support of the farmers, the work
ers, or other progressives because

 assault her. She was fast weaken ing when the sound of a motor car approaching was heard. Thereupon, Adams jumped up and made off through the woods.
 The police of Plainyille were quickly summoned to the scene and made search of the neighborhood. Mrs. Thor pson was bleeding from the nose, her lips were cut, her face scratched and the marks of the fln- gers were plain in her throat. Acting on information received from neigh DOTS in the vicinity. the police start cd to look for Adams but he was not at his home. They then hur- ried to the home of his sister near the scene of the crime and as they were approaching the house, a ne- gro came out and went to get into an automobile. Mrs. Thompson, who was with them, seeing the man, cried out, That's him." whereupon the police seized the man and held him for trial.

 In hiH6irg down his decision, Judge Marvin stated that the sen tence of five to ten years Is to take. effect after he has served the full time of his original sen tence.
 The crime for which Adams has been sentenced was committed a few months ago on the Town Line road in Plainville, lonely and wooded section. Mrs. Mary Thompson, the victim of the assault, had gone down the road a few hundred yards from her home to pick flowers. She is married white woman. While coming back towards the house, at a bend in the road where thick shrubbery borders the highway on either side, a colored man, after wards identified as Adams, tuned out from the bushes, seized her and attempted to drag her into the bushes.
 Mrs. Thompson fought him back and both went to the ground. Here, Adams, she claims, seized her by

spoken war against the Kan. He also Was avowedly wet" but 1t was the kIsn issue on which the Bailey Walters fight primarily was waged. President Coolidge carried the dis trict by plurality of 11,1s5 but the same count showed Walters leading Bailey by only 6S votes.
 Winner By Only II Votes
 When the returns were nyassed ov the computation board, errors were found wiping out Walters lead completely and showing Bailey the winner by II votes.
 Walters Immediately fought Balley's claim to election and so far has succeeded, through recourse to- Pennsylvania state courts, in pre- venting Bailey from taking title 10 his seat. Baileys friends assert that virtually the entire court ma chinery which has defeated Bailey's claims is republican and as such has reason to consider the political power Of the klan as the republican party's strong ally.
 Bailey's friends feel therefore, the issue is much larger than the personal interest of their candidate in obtaining congressional seat which he twice has held-but rather resolves itself to the question

whether the klan shall dominate this district.
 The situation may be better un- derstood by brief history of Bailey'a case, which Is as follows:
 President Judge Evans and Judge McCann of the court of common pleas, sitting as a board of compu- tation, in arriving at the corrections which showed Bailey the winner ob- tained the production of the ballot boxes from 12 districts These were opened and their contents can vassed,
 Power of Board Disputed.
 Before the result of that canvass was certified, Walters lawyers ob- tained from Judge Evans an order that Bailey show cause why Walters should not have q certificate of cleo. ton on the Basis of the original election returns.

DEMOCRATS WILL
MOVE TO REDUCE
BENEVOLENT TAX
levy Is Seen to Be Emergency
Reservoir for General
Fund,

A definite movement win be
launched. by Democratic leaders at
the 1924 General Assembly to reduce
the State benevolent tax levy, boost
ed I cents in 1928. to what they con-
slider proper proportions, it was fore
cast today in political circles.
That the benevolent tax of u cents
is the scapegoat for the general fund,
is the belief held. The general tax
has been kept down and the benevo-
lent tax boosted. it is pointed out,
in order that any surplus in the lat
ter fund may be used to fill any short
ages in the general fund.
A surplus. for example, Of $4,000
resulted during the fiscal year of 1928
from collection of the Scent tax.
Psychology of Tax
The political psychology Of boost
ing the benevolent tax is something
like this: What taxpayer would be-
srudge the use Of millions Of dollars
to take care of the unfortunates in
the State? Few audiences would howE'
at any orators question to that
effect.
Here, however. IS what happened,
according to records at the State
auditors Office.
The surplus Of $790,0o0 in the
benevolent fund merely was used for
general State expenses. The State
finance board borrowed $3.50, 900 from
the benevolent fund and transferred
it to the general fund. Only $4,000
of this loan has been returned.
Debt Near $4,000, 600
Now comes the announcement from
Robert W. Bracken, State auditor,
that the benevolent fund is dead
broke" Advance payments will be
required from county treasurers or
the State debt scars to the dizzy
height Of $6,5O0,0V0.
With the benevolent fund literally
bled by the general fund. a feeling has
arisen that the benevolent tax should
be lowered to fit It's actual needs.
That feeling will probably express
itself in a definite attempt in the next
Legislature to trim 1t down. officials
indicate.

SUPREME COURT
81 TIMES Buster
THAN DURING 1877
Five Cases Disposed of in
First Year-454 Decisions
in 1928.

The wheels Of justice" grind slow
ly at Supreme Court
The task Of the State highest
tribunal is annually becoming more
burdened it Is pointed out at the office
Of Zach DUNCAN, clerk. To wit:
Take the case of Washington Hotel
Realty Company VS.. the Bedford Stone
and Construction Company, In
djanapolis, involving payment of
$25, 900. Attorneys filed the case on
appeal in 1913 The court handed
down its decision just last week.
Problem Of disposing Of the large
number Of legal hugatons, pouring
into the court from lower courts, is
becoming vexious in many ways.
Five Cases in 1917
In 1917 when the court convened
for the first time. the judges, James
Scott, John Johnson and Jesse L.
Holman, went on vacation most Of the
year. Five written opinions were
handed down by the august body
during the entire year.
But these modern times: The same
court, composed Oh I'VE Judges SlL-
ting continuously from Oct l to
July I, disposed Of asa cases in 1923.
and then didn't get to the Washing
ton Hotel Realty Company case at
that
Since creation Of Supreme Court,
there have been filed 24.406 cases. Of
which 24.11s have been decided.
All Courts damned
Appellate Court organized in
March. 1891. by an act Of Legislature,
is composed Of six judges. Since it's
creation, the court has handled 11.847
cases. of which .551 have been
checked out.
Getting prompt action from Su-
preme Court is a faint hope Not
that it is due to the slowness Of the
judges or any inexcusable delays, but
because the number Of appealed legal
controversies has increased sharply.
Attorneys, however, state the same
condition exists in most higher courts.
Federal as Well as State. Prohibition
laws and other new centralized funo-
tons Of government are contributory
factors. they say.
