Christianson pledged himself was the
budget law to regulate state expendi-
lures. The appropriations commit
tee, of which Mr.. Christianson was
chairman, was handicapped in their
efforts to regulate expenditures by
the lack of time in the 80 day session
for really careful work and by the
numerous duties devolving on the
members of the committee. In spite
Of this the committee was able to cut
25 per cent from the appropriations
asked and Mr.. Christianson recon-
mended that the present board, which
decides on the legality of expendi-
lures of public money, should have
its power increased to decide on the
necessity of these expenditures. A
budget committee working all the
time is necessary to keep down ex-
penses, according to the candidate.
The crowd at the armory Tuesday
night included many from the diff
ferent towns in the county and was
representative Of the entire county
The candidate was greeted with APP
plause and made the best impression
of any candidate who has spoken here
this year. Both speakers asked for
the support of the entire Republican
ticket, basing their request on the
performance of the party in the last
so years.

Ia where q flour mill was built at a
cost of $4,O00,000 which under pub
lie ownership never earned a cent
over the operating cost and at the
present time was operating with an
operating loss of $4,000 a day and
losing an additional $1,000 day IN
interest charges on the money used
in building the mill.
Conservation of the natural re-
sources of the state is of vital impor-
lance in Minnesota which is so rich
in agricultural lands, iron ore and
timber and the republican party was
pledged to safeguard every ton OF
ore on the state lands and to collect
the tax and royalty on all ore mined,
by Mr.. Christianson Tuesday evening.
Replying to the charges of the far
mer-labor candidates that there had
been timber stolen under republican
administrations in the past, Mr..
Christensen said "Our responsibility
is not for lumber stolen 80 years ago
but for the lumber left in our for
ests today" and pledged himself to
safeguard that lumber.
The Offices of the state superin-
tendent of timber and the surveyor
general of logs and lumber were
characterized as necessary. in this
state to insure proper care of lum-
Der taken from the state lands.
Criticism had been directed at the
republican party for having two Of
fees with much the same duties.
Figures were quoted on the ques-
ton Of taxation and public indebted
ness and Mr.. Christianson said that
the cause Of high taxes lay in two
things, the high cost of supplies need
ed for the state and the army of en-
ployees in the go bureaus, boards and
commissions with their inspectors and
other accessories. He termed this
bureaucratic government and said
that this was the most thoroughly in
spected people in the world. He
cited the fact that there are 2,000,-
900 people on the public payroll in
the United States and 100000 or
more pensioners from the civil serv-
ice as an example of the vast army
of public employees created by differ
ent factions crying for investigation

made by a state senate committee
some years ago and recommends
tions made, which were defeated in
the legislature, for the reorganiza-
ton of the state government and the
abolish of a number of these bu-
reaus.
Frank o. Lowden took this report
and changed it to meet conditions in
Illinois and was elected governor of
that state on program of depart
ment reorganization. His record as
governor in that state showed that,
due to the reorganization. of the
numerous bureaus into IL depart
ments, there was no increase in taxes
from the increase in cost of supplies
for the state. He pledged the in
fiuence and power of the governors
office in this state to the realization
of this aim if the Republican party is
returned to office.
Another measure for the relief of
the burden of taxation to which Mr..

in practically every line. The display
of canned goods was especially fine
and large. One collection contained
nineteen pints of canned vegetables,
beautifully displayed. The exhibit
of bread was also fine, Mrs. F. l..
Carpenter won the sweepstakes on
bread baked with Occident flour. A
collection of baked foods consisting
of bread, rolls, doughnuts, pie and
rolls was a new lot for, this year and
five such collections were entered.
Mrs. Sherman Park Took the first
prize and the names of the other two

In the fancy work booths there was
marked improvementsin the work
manship as well as in the artistic taste
displayed. Miss Alona Maahs took
first prize on her collection of ten or
more fancy articles, Mrs. George
Whittet, Jr. took second prize and
Mrs. Otto Melges third. The Thrift
Department was the only department
in this class that was neglected and a

An interesting exhibit to women
was the Home Project booth in which
was displayed the work Of the units
that have been following this line of
work. The map showed that the
Delhi unit has been most active in
this work with Springdale, Charles
town and Homer also showing ex-
cellent records. There are now eigh-
teen units : throughout the County.
These units have completed the nutri-
ton and clothing projects and are
now studying the home management
project. The results of these studies
were attractively displayed in the
booth. 1t was a disappointment to
many that only Farmers Club, that
of Redwood Falls, made a township
display.
On the whole the fair was extreme
ly successful and the management is
to be commended for the very excel
lent way in which the whole thing
was managed. There was surpris-
ing lack of lawlessness or disagree
ableness considering the number of
people on the grounds each day. For
this the County Agricultural Society
and all others interested in the fair
are indebted to the members of the
fair board for their ceaseless activity
and for the good judgement display
ed by them.
