The crisis of capitalist economy

MURDERER RUB|O
FETED BY HOOVER
Gets Praise for Abject
Servility to U. S.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Rubio
Ortiz, president-elect of the Mexi-
can government, which increases its
abject servility to Wall Street, by
torturing, imprisoning and deport-
ing Mexican and Cuban revolution
airy trade unionists, will be received
with open arms by the Hoover i'm
| perialists.
A reception and entertainment
more elaborate and extensive than
any planned for kings and poten-
tates will be accorded the bootlick-
ing Mexican president when he ar
rives in Washington Thursday.
Rubio's first task on arriving in
the United States was to closet him
self in the offices of Morgan & Co.,
and consult with Morrow and Lamont
on how best to run the Mexican gov
ernment in the interest of American
Imperialism.
Following hard upon this proce-
dure came the mass arrests of mill
tant workers. The very soldiers and
marines who have been used in the
! past to attempt to crush Mexican
revolutionary movements will pay
homage to Rubio on his arrival at
the capital.
The state and war department
are cooperating to express the glee
of American capitalism with the
type of reactionary and prevail
Street regime instituted by Rubio,
Gales & Co.
No greater testimonial of the
corrupt, lickspittle nature of the
Mexican government can be found
than the absolute agreement of
every capitalist agency in the United
States in the homage and praise
rendered to Ortiz Rubio.
( The reception to be rendered to
Rubio is announced to exceed that
which met Ramsay Macdonald, rep
resentative of British imperialism.

MAZE OF FIGURES PRESENT CONGRESS
 BY PRESIDENT:
THREE BILLION, 800 MILLIONS FOR GOVERNMENT USE
 NEXT YEAR
WASHTNrzrTf

WASHINGTON, Dec, 5, (P- President Hoover laid before Con- gress a maze of figures on which he based his recommendations for tax reduction and requested $3, 330,OOO,00O for government use next year.
 He drew a bright picture of the states and nations finances drawing a lesson from lowering of taxes in the past.
 The President said that no doubt but what increased revenues will follow the stimulus given by business which is partly res- ponsible for these upward jumps in receipts. In the first budget message it is estimated that the treasury's outlay for the 12 months beginning next July will be $4, 100000 figuring that there would be $122,OOO,oOO surplus at the end of that period.
 The difference between the ap- propriations asked and the ex- penditures as forecast was ex- pIained as being due to the fact the President had not included any amount in the revolving fund for the federal farm board because it Was undetermined how much was necessary

 This remark by Shaw at once produced demands from opposition members for an explanation from the chancellor as to whether this foreshadowed a policy of confisca- ton or repudiation of the war loan securities.

MOSCOW, Dec, 4, Moscow made it's own peace with Mukden over the Chinese Eastern Railway dispute in Manchuria Tuesday and aslo rebuffed the nations seeking the same end by remind ing both Russia and China of obligations under the Kellogg anti war pact
 Dispatches from London told of the signing of the protocol at the Siberian town of Nikolskdashussur- iisky under the terms, by which joint control of the railway will be restored in accordance with the treaties of 1924, Russia withdrew from insistence that the former Russian general manager and as- sistant manager of the road be re- instated but reserved the right to appoint them to other positions.
 Soviet government, in the note handel to the French Ambassador Herbette, in Moscow, said they could not regard as friendly act the American note with reference to the Kellogg pact and stated that the note constituted An unjustifi- led attempt" to influence the Chin 'ese-Rugsian negotiations.

Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, in testifying before tile House committee which is considering appropriations on the Interior department bill which was re- ported today
 Colonel Ohlsen said this esti- mate is warranted by the t'pro- gress of development along the railroad territory" as there are a number of fair prospects in min eral development, adding, that the miners in Valdez creek dis trict during the past summer had a flair season" in gold output.
 He said additional land IS be- ing cleared for larger forage crops raised on land adjacent to the railroad; that fur bearing animals appear to be on a substantial bas- is with justifiable promises of continued expansion.

PLAN UTILITY EXHIBIT
FOR STATE GRAIN SHOW

Minnesota's first utility seed show
will be staged at University Farm,
st. Paul, as special feature of the
annual state Corn and Grain show
during Farmers and Homemakers
Week, January 20 to 25. The Corn
and Grain show is sponsored by the
Minnesota Crop Improvement asso-
citation, in cooperation with the de-
partment of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. The utility ex-
hibit will be open to approved grow
ers of Marquillo wheat, Anthony
oats, and Glabron barley, who obtain
ed seed of these varities from the
Minnesota agricultural experiment
station through the Minnesota plan
of seed distribution.
The purpose of the utility show is
to exhibit the grain just as the grow
ers expect to sell it, without any
special cleaning or preparation. Lead
ing grain growers and judges are
coming to feel that the utility type
of exhibit is more representative of
the kind of crops grown by the ex-
hibitors than the old hand-picked
samples and that the utility show
should eventually replace the old type
of exhibit. This idea is endorsed by
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1929-11-06

the executive board of the Minnesota
Crop Improvement association, which
has passed motion requiring ap-
proved growers to summit one-peck
samples Of the three varieties men,
toned for this years show.
These samples are to be placed in
special mental containers, each bear
ing a card showing the name and adj
dress of the grower and the purity
and termination tests of the sample,
as well as the amount which the ex-
hibitor has for sale. Following the
show, these samples will be put on
file at the crop Improvement associa-
ton headquarters at University Farm
where they will be available for COM
parison by farmers who purchase
seed from exhibitors of the various
samples.
The regular state Corn and Grain
shows, including classes for all kinds
of grains and grasses, will be held as
usual, and entries may be made free
by any Minnesota grain grower.
About $1,000 in cash prizes will be
provided by the Minnesota Crop I'm
provement association. One of the
special features will be junior corn
class for members of All corn clubs.

FEWER MARRIAGES
AND MORE DIVORCES
REPORTED IN MINNESOTA

The number of marriages in Min
nesota is decreasing and the number
of divorces increasing, comparisons
of totals for 1927 and 1923 reported
by United States Department of
Commerce indicate.
In both instances, the change from
one year to another in Minnesota is
slight and is in line with the national
trend. The figures suggest that
youthful Americans are more eau
tious about marrying and quicker to
dissolve the marriage union than ever
before.
The total number of marriages in
Minnesota declined from 23,328 in
1927 to 23,249 in 1928, the report
shows. In the same period the num-
Der of divorces increased from 1922
to 2,S44. This represents gain of
% divorces and loss of 70 marriages
for the year. There were 8.2 mar
riages for every divorce, as against
PIG for New York state, 52.5 for the
District of Columbia and 1.6 for New
ada, where the divorce rate is high
est and growing higher.
There were 1,1S2,497 marriages
performed in the United States dur
ing the year as compared with l.
POI, 1858 in 1927. These figures repre-
sent a decrease of 1856 marriages,
or LIS per cent.
In 1928, there were 195,939 divorces
granted in the United States, as COM
pared with 192,037 in 1927, represent
ing an increase of 1902 or per cent.

SPECIAL TRAINS WILL
SWELL All SHOW CROWD

With three or more special trains
bringing in visitors from all parts
of the state to the 18th annual Min
nesota Junior Livestock Show and
with reduced rates on all railroads,
attendance at the event this year is
expected to shatter all records. The
show will be conducted at the stock
yards at South st. Paul, November
II to IA.
One of the special trains will be
run over the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railway, starting at Madison; an
other will be the Omaha, Chicago &
Northwestern Railway from Worth
ing, and third via the Chicago Great
Western, from southern Minnesota.
Assurances regarding these special
trains were received several days ago
and negotiations were Immediately
started to secure special trains COM
ing to South st. Paul from the north
and northwestern parts of the state.
Competition in the Junior Live
stock Show is limited to members of
All clubs who have made outstand-
ing records with baby beeves, pigs,
lambs, or market poultry in their re-
spective counties. Entries this year
will exceed the high mark established
in 1928 by 100 or more. Realizing
that this event offers a splendid op-
portunity to adults to study types
and market classes of livestock, as
well as to become familiar with the
South st. Paul stockyards and pack
ing plants, the junior show commit
tee, headed by H. G. Zavoral of Uni
versity Farm, is putting forth special
effort this year to attract grown-ups
to the show.

ALARMING SMUT
LOSS CONTINUES

"For the fifth year grain smut has
levied a huge tax on the wheat crop
of the central northwest" declares
H. R. Sumner, executive secretary OF
the Northwest Crop Improvement
Association. Farmers, grainmen and
millers have been confronted with
this loss ever since 1925 when sixteen
percent of the wheat receipts in Min
neapolis graded smutty. Last year,
1928, fourteen percent of the wheat
receipts graded smutty. Reports from
the Office of Grain Investigations, U.
S. Department of Agriculture in
Minneapolis, for August and Septem-
Der of this year, indicate that an
equal loss will be sustained on the
1929 CROP"
Smutty wheat cannot be used for
the manufacture of the wonderful
-four for which the states of Montana,
North Dakota, Minnesota and South
Dakota are famous until it undergoes
special and expensive process OF
of washing and securing. For this
reason the wheat buyers for the mills
are obliged to discount smutty wheat
from two to sometimes as high as
fourteen cents bushel."
eve are perplexed to find SO much
smutty grain," continued Mr.. Sum-
ner, when we consider the hundreds
of meetings held by county agents,
the many warnings given by State
Agricultural College workers, the
tons of literature distributed to farm
ers and the splendid news articles
carried by the newspapers. The grain
producers are enduring severe loss.
We are unable to understand why
seed treatment to prevent smut is
not more generally practiced."
"a special study of the reasons for
failure to eliminate smut is being
made by authorities of the state and
federal governments and our associa-
ton. Perhaps this investigation viii
throw light on the subject"
