ure prominently in the debate in the
Senate this winter, especially in view
of the report of the special investi-
eating committee headed by Senator
James Reed, Democrat of Missouri,
who has been investigating expendi-
lures In the primaries in Pennsylvan-
ia and Illinois. Prediction is made
that the matter will become so impor-
tant that it will take on national as
poets. Already movements are un-
der way to abolish direct primaries.
1t is direct issue in the guberna-
tional 4campaign in Wyoming where
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor opposes direct primaries, and Mrs.
Nellie Ross, the encumbent, defends
the direct primary system. The Re-
publican party of New Jersey has de-
manded removal of the direct primary
law and the Democrats have opposed
this proposition. In the state of Ill
inois there is a court proceeding
which may vitality affect the primary
situation. Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut and New Mexico have never
adopted direct primaries for nominal
ting candidates for public office.
The fact that the Federal Trade
Commission has again been rebuked
by the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia affords grounds for dis
cussion at the Capitol. The Com
mission was enjoined few days ago
from participating in so-called fish
ing expeditions" which is form of
legalized search into the files of bust
ness organizations for documents
which might aid the Federal prosecu-
ton.
In the case of Miller's National
Federation of Chicago the court de-
cided that it was high time the Com
mission be. curbed from attempting
to infringe on constitutional rights.
Thus the Federal Trade Commission
has lost the majority of its court
cases., The President has problem

ASKOV WINS OVER
HINCKLEY. IL TO 9

Sunday was day which seemed
much better fitted for foot ball than
base ball, but, nevertheless, the
Hinckley and Askov base ball teams
went through seven innings of chilly
base ball on the Askov diamond that
afternoon. The game should have
commenced at 2:30, but the Hinckley
players were late in arrival and it
was about 3:45 before the umpire
called for action. The players could
not get warmed up and there were
numerous errors, but the batting was
pretty good on both sides. Two home
runs featured-Gust Thomson and
Goltz getting each one. Tom Thorn
sen and Carl Hyldahl did the pitching
for Askov, with Gust Thomson and
Clegg receiving. Dunphy and Jupe
Johnson did mound duty for HinckIey,
with Waller behind the bat The
final score was II to 9 in favor of
Askov.

AsKov COUNTY MINNESOTA THURSDAY SEPTEMBER
OurWdshin3ton Letter
Bu W SDaley
. sasAl fDuosAl ASSOCIATION ssse4

Washington, September 29.-There
is much confusion regarding the cleo
ton issues. Members of the major
political parties cannot agree as to
what constitutes the party program.
Candidates for office coming to Wash
ington to seek the support of q the
President, or in the case of the Demo-
Gratis the aid of their national leaders,
differ as to issues. At one time
party politics was based on clearly
defined issues which aroused the pop
ulance but time apparently has wiped
out the line demarcation and party
labels have faded somewhat.
AS an illustration, a Republican
candidate for the Senate after con-
ference with the President this week
said that, in his opinion, the tariff
was an issue in the fall campaign in
his state, and that the crest of the
farm troubles had been reached, so
that agricultural relief is no longer
a political issue. He insisted that it
is one economic adjustment. At the
same time one or two other candi-
dates of the. same party said that
farm relief was distinctly an issue,
and that the administration favored
additional work stressing the effect
iveness of cooperatives instead of le-
gislative help. Federal officials have
already indicated that the Govern
ment would gladly extend loans to CO.
operatives with the idea of relieving
agricultural depression.
On the other hand, in the Democra-
tic campaign officials stated that the
question of state rights was some
thing worth consideration by the vot-
ing public. Revival of the state
rights issue was very pronounced this
week in Maryland when the D m )crat-
ic state platform carried recognitiol
of this old time principle. The &C
tivities of the Democrats in Maryland
is considered important in Washing
ton because the platform was drafted
under the direction of Governor Rit-
chic, who has been doomed for Demo.
cratic nomination for President in
1928.
1t is almost a certainty that the
question of direct primaries will fig

posits. Both Magnus and Lundeen
are advocates of such a measure and
are in fact stressing that issue in the
present campaign.
= Whether one believes in the pro-
gram advocated by the Farmer-Labor
Party or not, he will be well repaid
by coming out to hear these candi-
dates. Both are speakers of more
than ordinary ability and are cap

800 REDUCTION IN
STATE TAX LEVY

There will be 800 reduction in
the state tax next year.
The cut has just been announced
by the State Auditor, who is required
by law to fix the rate. This year, pro-
perry owners throughout the state are
paying taxes on their holdings on the
basis of II mills to the state. For
next year the levy just announced will
be 5.4 mills. OF this sum, 1.23 mills
is for school purposes and .05 of a
mill for the teachers insurance and
retirement fund. Since st Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth have teachers
insurance funds of their own, no state
levy, for the purpose is made in those
three cities and consequently the rate
there for state taxes, payable next
year, will be 5.35 mills.
Aside from the items above-men-
toned, the levy for other state pur-
poses is Alp mills, as contrasted with
6.42 mills last year. The big cut is
in the levy for general revenue pur-
poses. Last years levy for the state
revenue fund was 3.5 mills and the
Legislature Authorized a levy this
fall for next years taxes of mills.
This has been cut two-thirds, bal
ances in the various funds and pros
pective revenue from gross earnings
taxes on corporations, expected re-
ceipts from the occupation tax, in
heritance tax, royalty tax and simil-
lar indirect taxes making possible
the action.
The levy for general revenue pro-
vides the money to care for expendi-
lures authorized by the 1925 Legis-
lature. On the present valuation of
the state, it should produce approx
imately $1,95O,0OO.OO, the balance nee
essary being secured from scources
aforementioned and from the earn
ings of different state departments
The items of the levy are as follows:
