label. There are limitations to gov
eminent aid but the average man and
woman out of job fail to recognize
or is unwilling to acknowledge the
boundary line. Congress will be asked
to authorize huge building projects
far more extensive than in the past.
The state road building has absorbed
some surplus labor but not in quanti-
ties to offset the release of skilled
workers from private construction
fields. The winter weather is eX-
pected to halt road building and snow

centage of the long list of applicants
The prediction statisticians are
having their day. By taking the
claims of party leaders the picture
of the next Congress is greatly
changed. If all the reports received
from political writer's now scouting
campaign headquarters in various
sections have any factual base, the
Democrats are due to control the
House of Representatives. In the Sen
ate, the dopesters say, the Democrats
will control directly, increasing their

Many young men are now con-
fronted with the problem: Should
go to school, or should go to work."

general education. he must take up
vocational education, or training

Many people get their training ION

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-10-23

Pursuant to the authority granted BY
this section the legislature in 1881 in
crea sed the number of associate Justices
to four.
If amended as proposed. this section viii
read as follows:
1.-The supreme court shall consist
of ore chief justice and six associate
justices 1t shall have original Juris-
dicton in such remedial cases as may
be prescribed by law. and appellate
jurisdiction in all cases. both in law
and equity. but there shall be no triai
by jury in said court. 1t shall hold
one or more terms in each year, as
the legislature may direct at the
sect of government and the le@isia-
tu-e may provide, by two-tnlrds
vote that one term in each year snail
be held in each or any judicial Dis
triCt. 1t shall be the duty OF such
court to appoint reporter OF its de-
cisions. There shall be chosen, by
the qualified electors OF the state.
one clerk of the supreme court. who
shall hold his office for the term or
four years and until his successor is
duly elected and qualified; and the
judges of the supreme court. or a
majority of them, shall have the
power TO fill any vacancy in the Of
flee CT clerk of the supreme court
until an election can be regularly
had"
The Purpose of the Proposed Amendment:
The supreme court, as now organized
under the constitution, consists of CHIEF
Just .ce, and four associate justices, all
elected by tie people. In 1918, in order
20 take care of the Increasing business Of
the court, the legislature passed a law
providing fer the appointment of two
commissioners to assist the court in the
performance of its duties. The act un-
der which these commissioners are ap'
pointed provides that each shall receive
the same compensation as justice OF
the supreme court, and also provides that
it, by amendment to the constitution, the
number of associate Justices shall be in
creased to six the office of commissioners
shall without further act be abolished.
In practice the commissioners sit as
members of the court, hear arguments.
read briefs, take Part in discussions,
write opinions, and in general do the same
work as the regular justices, but they
have no vote In determining the final de-
cisions Of the court. The legislature can
not give the mssioners voice in the
decisions Of the court, since the organ
ization OF the court is governed by the
constitution.
The purpose Of the proposed amend
n1ent is to provide for the election of two
more associate justices w.th full author
ity as members of the court, to take the
place OF the present two commissioners,
who will then cease to hold office.
The Effect of the Proposed Amendment:
The effect of the proposed amendment,
II adopted. will be to provide for the elcc-
tion of two more associate Justices of the
supreme court with full authority as
members of the court, replacing the pre-
sent two commissioners, without addi-
tionai expense.
The ballot used at the election should
have printed thereon the following:

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 3.

BY the adoption of Chapter 431. Laws
1929. the legislature has proposed an
amendment to article Of the Constitu
ton by adding thereto new section to
be known as section s, and reading as
follows:
Amy of the public lands of the
state, including lands held in trust
for any purpose, may be exchanged
for lands of the United States as the
legislature may provide, and the
lands so acquired shall be subject
to the trust, if any, to which the
lands exchanged therefor were sub
ject"
The Purpose of the Proposed Amendment:
BY section 2 of article 8 of the ConstI.
tuition school and swamp lands owned by
the state may not be disposed of other
than at public sale. The purpose of the
proposed amendment is to abrogate this
requirement In so far as the disposal of
such lands to the federal government is
concerned by authorizing the legislature
to provide for the making of direct ex.
change with the United States Of such
state lands In return for lands owned by
the federal government.
The Effect of the Proposed Amendment:
" adopted, will be to abrogate, under
such conditions and regulations as the
legislature may prescribe and to the ex-
tent necessary to effectuate exchanges Of
Siasc' SCHooi anu swamp IdnuS Tor ianoS
owned by the federal government, the
rule requiring the disposal of school and
swamp lanes only by public sale. Such
abrogation and the consequent provision
for exchange Of lands In pursuance Of
legislative enactment authorized by the
proposed amendment will not impair or
diminish the trust funds of the state ars-
ing from the sale OF school and swamp
lands, since the proceeds of sales of fec
erai lands so acquired by exchange must,
under the proposed amendment, be de.
posted to the credit Of such trust funds.
The ballot used at the election should
have printed thereon the following:

MAY DAY IN LATIN AMERICA

more money, although the new president,
Olaya Herrera, is here in New York, in an ef-
fort to solve Colombia's financial crisis.
The jobless workers of Medelln left the
Party behind them in their revolt leading the
Party where the Party should have led them
while the Socialist Revolutionary Party"
which pretends to be a section of the Commu-
mist International, placed obstacles in the
path of the strategic retreat of the Colombia
proletariat. Medellin gave the real and con-
crete measure of the rehabilitation of the
masses.
Hearing that the unemployed were raiding
dairies, groceries, butcher shops, etc, an ever
increasing mass of workers flocked to the
demonstration. The chief of police, the Mr..
Whalen of Medellin, when he went to COM
mand his soldiers against what was becoming
a real revolt, suffered such an attack of ton
silits" that he died almost instantly. (In
reality, he was shot)
The wife of one of the workers who was
assassinated by the police declared that her
husband, when he heard that the Communists
were raiding the groceries, went to see if he
could get something for his wife and their
five children to eat, because none of them
had had food for three days. Did the siege
of the city by the police quench the mutiny?
The first of May will answer this question.
American proetariat is now Cuba, The work
ers of this country are facing pitiless strug-
gle against the tyranny of General Machado,
agent of American imperialism.
The National Workers Federation of Cuba,
under the complete influence of the Commu-
mist Party, has demonstrated its intention to
fight, despite the decree of bloody Machado
suppressing the National Workers Federation
of Cuba.
One of the slogans of the First of May is
the legalizing of the Federation, freedom of
speech, press and assemblage, legality of the
Communist Party and of the Young Commu-
mist League.
Unemployment, hunger, misery, low wages,
and the intolerable living conditions of the
workers and peasants of Latin America will
be attacked in the mass demonstrations on
the streets of Latin America on May Day. The
strikes of the 10th of January and the goth
of March showed the growing rehabilitation
of the workers, and their determination to
fight.
The May Day fight will be directed prin-
cipally against American imperialism, and in
South America, likewise, against British i'm
perialism. In the United States, the struggle
of the workers against American imperialism
will give effective support to the fight of the
working masses in Latin America in their
struggle against American imperialism.
On this May Day, more than ever, the unity
of the fight of the workers in the colonies
and the workers in the imperialist countries,
comes into the forefront.
