~ OVERNOR Chrstianson carried every
I = congressional district this year, says
~ Charles Cheney in The Minneapolis Jour-
nal. He carried even the seventh, where the far
mer-labor forces have their stronghold and have
resisted the slump in their strength most sue
cessfully. He carried Scott county and nearly car
ried Brown. Farmer-labor claims in St. Louis
county were found to be justified to quite an ex-
tent, and the vote there is extremely close.
The Christensen administration offers an
exception in the recent political history of the
state. 1t has been the rule that a governor would
win second term by much smaller vote than
the first. Adolph o. Eberhart was elected the
first time by $1,000, and reelected by 100000.
J. A. A. Burnqust won his first election by 152
600, and his second by only $4,000. j. A. O..
Preus won by $4,000 the first time and got by
with only $4,000 for reelection. One must go
back about 20 years for exception to this rule.
John A. Johnson was elected the second time,
but suffered decrease for the third effort S..
r. Van SAINT was notable exception. He barely
pulled through by $500 the first time, but was
reelected by $4,000 in an off year.

NO WAGES FOR "MA"
~ LIFFORD L. HILTON, attorney general
of Minnesota has handed down an opinion
- to the effect that husband is not COM
PEELED to pay salary to his wife for homework.
There is no comparison between housewife and
a housemaid. The opinion is in reply to an inquiry
received in Governor Theodore Christanson's Of
flee which is as follows II want to know if
housewives have right legally to have an
amount given to them at regular intervals by
their husbands for clothing and spending money,
or are still in law the serfs we are in fact!
MY neighbours hired girls draw salary OF
$50 month with board and room free, but l as
a housewife get not one cent for my own needs
The opinion follows: "There is no law which
compels husband to pay salary to his wife
for homework or to make payments to her at
regular intervals for any purpose. The law does
impose on the husband the obligation to support
his wife in a manner suitable to their station in
life-and this always includes consideration of
his income. In law there is little basis for q
comparison between the housewife and the house
maid. The latter is, of course, employed fo
wages; but such employment may be terminated
at any time. The marriage, with it's correspond
ing obligations, not be so easily dissolved
Either status is voluntary, and the rights OF
either wife or maid may be ascertained be-
fore she becomes such. Whether the law viii
ever require husband to pay fixed amount te
his wife, we do not venture to predict

MUST YOU DO IT?
N n UST-Look out for the "musts" of life
MI They are dangerous and often frauds
Whenever you catch yourself saying, .
simply must finish it, absolutely must do this
thing; whatever else happens this must be at
tended to- look out. You are on the wrong
track. Very few things in life must be done
Very few achievements worth more thar
the supreme achievement of serenity
Musts are tyrants, full of buster, scarehead
that fool US, men of straw that needlessly de-
feat US.
Must you do it? Why? Are you sure the
reason is big enough for the price you pay
About the time you begin to say the word must
and uderscore it and spell it all in capitals, be-
ware. You are probably a little misled by false
values.
