Minnesota Farm Bureau to
Back Forest Amendment
Federation Joins Other Organizations
to Work for the Conservation
Prgram of Minnesota

Tie Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton has joined forces with other
organizations in the stare TO work
for conservation program which is
to center upon the passage of Amend
ment No. 2-the reforestatioa anend-
mel by the voters at the general
election on Nov. 2
A meeting at the state capitol on
Oct. 2 was attended by representa-
tives of &c organizations with COM
bined membership of 100000. They
included the Farm Bureau, Forestry
association, Izaak Walton league and
other sportsmen's organizations, Amer
lean Legion and Auxiliary, Ten
Thousand Lakes association, CONNER
cial clubs, Rotary, Kiwanis and
other civic clubs.
This meeting discussed conserva-
ton problems in general and decided
that the passage of the forestation
amendment was the task nee.iing
every effort at the present time. The
organizations present formed a per-
manent conservation council to c3n-
sist of Is members TO be named Icy
Geo. III. Selover, chairman.
Effective support for the. forestry
amendment is being given by the
state Farm Bureau federation which
is sending to its local units the fol
lowing statement:
Amendment No. 2 and What 1t Means
Amendment No. 2 reads as follows
claws may be enacted for the pur-
pose of encouraging and promoting
forestation and reforestation of lands
i'm this state, whether owned by pri-
waite persons or the public, including
the fixing in advance of definite and
limited annual tax ON such la4ds Tor
a term of years and yield of tax at or
after the end of such tenn of years
upon the timber and other forest pro-
ducts so grown, but the taxation of
mineral deposits shall not be affected
ty this amendment.
The amendment to be voted on, If
carried, lis merely an enabling act CIV
ing the legislature authority 10 do
certain things in promoting foresta-
ton in Minnesota which can not be
done now under authority of the con-
stitution.
1t is impossible, and would be un-
fair, to predict in advance just what
the laws wovld be as worked ont by
the legislature. However, if we have
confidence in the men whom we elect
DO represent us, we must have faith
that they will work out plan which
will be equitable and fair and repre-
sent their best Judgment and wishes
of their constituents.
Reforestation of certain lands in
Minnesota is not only for the preser-
walton of the land itself, and for rails
ing something on the land for the
benefit of the future, but it is import
ant for taking care of the water sup
ply of this region. Some day we are
going to wake up and realize that
our timber supply is gone and our
water levels going down, down, down.
The growing of timber, is the grow
ing of farm crop. Let us make it
possible to grow the kind of crop
that nature intended should be grown

The supply of butter on the larger
markets showed some increase the
latter part of last week which is a
direct result of increase in milk pro-

continued fairly good, but there has
been some surplus stock accommodating
which has resulted in an easier feeling
of buyers.

Begging Automobile Rides
is Very Serious Menace
Parents, Teachers Motorists Asked
to Aid in Stopping Practice of
School Children

Parents, motorists and teachers are
asked to join in a campaign to end
the dangerous practices" of giving
rides to school children, in an appeal
issued by the American Automobile
association.
Hundreds of accidents are caused
annually because children do not
realize that this practice constitutes
one Of the gra5yest of highway haz-
ards" says the statement. "It is a
trying situation that the motorist
faces when he is signalled from the
curb or roadside by little child who
wants a ride, but in majority OF
cases it is best to pass by in the in
terests of safety. The man who does
so has the expert opinion of traffic
officials everywhere to back up his
attitude. The risk is too great to be
assumed lightly"
z Parents and teachers should warn
children of the risk they take in
crowding out into the traffic stream
to beckon for lift. s.They not only
endanger themselves but interfere
with the flow of traffic in a manner
that is distinctly menacing. Motorists
are continually being forced to
swerve from one traffic lane into
another and, compelled to act with
such celebrity, ik frequently is the
case that they have no time ito give
signals, one of the most common
causes of accidents
Children that may be picked up
are often unruly or careless, says the
bulletin, and the host faces the double
task of trying to drive and keep a
weather eye on his passengers. If
anything happens, the motorist is Ii
able.

THE British general strike is now a
l. matter of past history. While the
working class is engaged in making
future history, yet it is the experience
gained out of the battles of the past
that eventually enables the working
class to win those of the future. 1t is
from this point of view that it be-
comes indispensable for the workers
of the world to evaluate the British
general strike.
Lessons of Strike.
The general strike in Great Britain
drives home to the workers of the
world with unmistakable clearness
three great lessons:
First, continuity of the class strug-
gle.
Second, the political character of
the class struggle.
Third, the indispensability of class
conscious revolutionary leadership in
the class struggle.
For the first point we could just as
we'll say the existence of the class
struggle in place of the continuity of
it. But since we speak of experiences
gained out of the general strike we
must base our consideration on pre-
vailing conceptions, not yet revised
by these experiences.
The prevailing idea in the circles
of organized labor in the United States
Is that the class struggle is a myth I;
that the interests of capital and labor
are identical, and that strikes. or other
forms of struggle between the work
ers and the capitalists are merely UNI
fortunate isolated incidents caused by
temporary Misunderstanding between
the parties involved. In other words,
strikes are not manifestations of an
inevitable and continuous struggle be-
tween the capitalist class and the
working class, but are merely lovers
quarrels.
We know that a great proportion of
the official leaders of the American
labor movement are neither able nor
willing to learn otherwise. But we
also know that the relk and file of or
ganized labor and the working class in
general is ready to discard prejudices
for genuine knowledge, taught by ex-
! perience.
Government Prepares to Fight.
The general strike in Great Britain
is an unmistakable proof of the con-
