The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association in session at Wadena,
January "a to 26, 1924, desires to ex-
press its thanks and appreciation to
the Lions Club at Wadena for the
splendid entertainment given us. Our
visit to Wadena has indeed been
pleasant one and one which will give
us many pleasant recollections. And
we especially wish. to thank the COM
mittee in charge and Editor w. E.
Verify and Editor A. G. Hanson for
their many courtesies.
We appreciate the work which the
school of journalism is doing at the
University and endorse its purpose.
We, recommend that the school be
given increased appropriations by the
Board of Regents of the University to
the end that the Department of Jour-
nalism be still further developed and
it's influence extended throughout the
state.
We are mindful of the serious condi-
ton confronting the basic industry Of
the Northwest, namely, agriculture,
and approaching the efforts of Con-
gress to extend prompt and practical
assistance to this industry through
the medium of the so-called Coulter
Bill we recommend that the following
resolution be adopted and a copy OF it
sent to our two senators in Congress
and to each member from Minnesota
in the House of Representatives.
"To The Congress of the United
States:
We, the members of the Northern
Minnesota Editorial Association, rep
resenting the newspapers of the entire
Northern half of the State of Mime
sofa assembled in annual convention
in Wadena, Mimi, this 25th day OF
January, 1924, do respectfully urge
the passage Of that remedial legisla-
ton known as H. R. 4159 and S. B.
1897, providing a $50,000,000 live
stock loan fund.
Conditions in the spring wheat area
| of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Mon
tana both demand and Justify this
action on the part of the government.
We are confident that it will prove
safe and sound investment and that
It will be productive of an agricultural
system which will yield tremendous
benefits both locally and nationally"
We recognize the splendid work, Of
| the National Editorial Association
and the service it renders to the edi-
| tors of the nation and we hereby rec
ommend that all members of our asso-
| citation who are not now members
join the National Association and thus
support it. and its work.
We believe that one of the large
contributing causes Of the high cost
of living and sluggish industrial de-
velopment is our present system OF
war taxes in time of peace, and we
] recommend and urge upon congress
that it speedily adopt practical plan
of tax reduction.
We desire to acknowledge the loyal
work of the officers of our association
in its behalf, the interest taken in
the association by our retiring presi-
dent, E. H. Denu, and the whole
hearted and generous efforts of our
secretary, A. G. Rutledge. And we
are mindful that the growth and pres
ent strength of our association is due
in large part to the efforts which Mr..
Rutledge has given during the several
years that he has been secretary and
