frequent special sessions of the legis-
lature might be necessary.
l have spoken of the governors ap-
pointment of boards, bureaus, depart
ments and commissions. AS he is
charged with responsibility for the
record of these bodies, it is necessary
for him to hold frequent conferences
with their members. They submit to
him their proposals for changes in
their methods or policies and it is up
to him to give such proposals careful
study and consideration. From time
to time, also, these commissions, bu-
reaus, departments and boards submit
to him reports, which call for serious
consideration.
If citizen of the state is aggrieved
over the acts of one of these bodies,
he Is sure to protest to the governor,
either in writing or in person. In
some instances, the standing of these
protesting citizens is such that the
governor must give their complaints
attention, even though they seem
without justification; while in other
Instances the nature of the complaint
is such that it must receive consider
alton at the hands of the governor,
no matter how humble or Insignificant
may be the complainant. The con-
sideration of these complaints takes
part of the governors precious time
and adds to his labors and response
bility.
Extradition matters are handled by
the governor. Some of these take but
little of his time, but others are of
such nature that the executive feels
it incumbent upon him to conduct an
extensive hearing. Last winter, for
instance, Governor Olson devoted the
| better part of an entire day to hear
| ing testimony for and against three
Minnesota boys who were charged
with the commission of robbery and
murder in the State of Texas. They
had made their escape to their homes
in Minnesota, but their identity had
become known to the Texas officers,
who demanded that they be turned
over to them and tried for the crimes
Of which they were accused in the
Lone Star state. The parents of these
boys were honest, respected citizens
Of this state, and as nothing had been
charged against the boys themselves
in the past, Governor Olson felt that
it was necessary for him to sit as a
judge in trial to determine the guilt
or innocence of the youths. After
hours of careful consideration of the
evidence, he came to the conclusion
that justice demanded the trial of the
boys in the county where the crimes
with which they were charged were
committed. So thorough and con
scientious was his investigation thai
the sorrowing parents felt satisfied
that he did his duty, however painful
The governors daily mail is exceed
ingly large. Hundreds of letters ant
communications of all kinds, som,
very important, others trivial and un
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-08-06

necessary, reach the executive daily.
A large portion of these communica-
lions must have the governors per-
sonal consideration and be answered
by him. Without doubt, Governor
Olson's mail is heavier than that of
any other executive in the history of
the state, and has added greatly to
his labors.
The number Of callers at the gov
ernor's office since the first of the
year is without parallel in the his
tory of the state. BILLY" and
George" the genial, faithful and eff
ficient executive messengers, who
have served in that capacity since the
Inauguration of John A. johnson twen-
ty-five years ago, say that they have
never seen such an outpouring of
people at the capitol, bent on seeing
the executive. Delegations from all
parts of the state call to lay matters
before him daily. Scores of other
citizens, with various objects in view,
apply for admission to his office. and
many of them feel that their dignity
suffers, If they are not allowed to see
him.
Because Of his magnetic personality
and the story of his leaving school
as boy to save his widowed mother
from the drudgery of washing for her
neighbors, the people of Minnesota re-
garded Governor John A. Johnson as
everybody's friend. Hence they flocked
to his office to pay him tribute and
shake his hand.
So it is today. The people feel that
the blue-eyed young Farmer-Labor
governor is everybody's friend or
champion. So they lay siege to his
office and flock to see and hear him
when he appears on public occasions.
! Last, but not least among the gov
ernor's obligations, of which I wish
to speak, is the duty of taking part
in public proceedings and gatherings.
1t has become an unwritten law that
the chief executive must join with
other citizens of the state in honor
ing distinguished visitors, in COM
memorating important anniversaries
in the history of the state and nation
in participating in really important
community gatherings and celebra-
lions. Without the governors parti-
cipation in these the program would

THE GOVERNORSHIP
OF MIN N ESQ 7 A
(By Martin w. Odland)

nor Olson's executive secretary and
is a recognized authority on Mime
sofa history. He is former lee
turer on Minnesota history with the
General Extension Division of the
author of "The Life of Alexander
Ramsey" "The Life of Knute Nell
son." and of shorter biographies or
other distinguished Minnesotans.
On a midsummer day. in the year
1911, tall, lank, rangy fellow, who
had seen less than twenty years of
life, was swinging on with long, Wig
orous strides across the prairies Of
Saskatchewan, over what is now the
route of the Grand Trunk railroad.
He was an ambitious youngster who
had gone up to the Canadian province
from his home in Minneapolis in the
hope of making big money selling
farm machinery during a boom. He
needed money to be able to finish his
law course. For several years he had
sold papers in North Minneapolis and
had also worked in railroad yards and
car shops, but the earnings had been
too meager to satisfy his eagerness
to get on in the world.
That boom in Western Canada broke
suddenly and not a dollar was to be
made selling machinery to prospective
land buyers. Determined not to re-
turn to his home and friends empty
handed, the young law student struck
out on foot for the Pacific coast, where
he hoped to find lucrative employ
ment.
AS he tramped along the sun beat
down upon him with about the same
malignant fury that it has vented
upon the people of Minnesota lately,
and he realized that he had tackled
a tough job to reach the Pacific on
foot. But he pushed on with undated
vigor and courage, as from time to
! time he dashed the sweat from his
| face with his hand, and his clear,
piercing blue eyes sparkled and his
sun-burnt countenance cleaned with
a radiant smile as he thought of the
many pranks he had played on his
| fellow students and instructors at the
North Minneapolis High school and
as he planned other pranks to be
played on unsuspecting pals after his
return to Minneapolis.
Yes, he had tackled tough job, but
he would carry on and not allow the
excessive heat and other discomforts
to stop him. From his cool-headec
father, an immigrant from Trond
hjem, Norway, he had acquired
philosophy that helped him to ignore
disagreeable obstacles and expert
ences.
That tall, rangy, blue-eyed, flaxen
haired youth, who returned to Mime
apolis to complete his law course
after colorful year as miner, scow
man, longshoreman and fisherman il
British Columbia, is still a residen
of the chief city of Minnesota; il
still ambitious, and again has tackled
a very tough job.
He is now governor of Minnesota

world politics, and has had chance
enough lately to be furious. Two
weeks ago Austria was in bad way
financially, and France had almost
got her under her power, when Eng
land stepped in and gave loan which
saved Austria.
Governments Still Upset.
In general internal and external
political matters have been thunder
ing and flashing lightning over us
in the last few weeks. There was
the important visit of the German
Chancellor and foreign minister to
England for informal discussion.
France watched that with jealous
eye. Then even before the Chancellor
Bruning got back the German Reich
stag was rising against him in pro-
test against the last emergency mea-
sure which seemed unbearable to the
people. The Reichstag should not
meet till October, and Bruning in the
meantime is the practical ruler OF
the land. The Reichstag was about
to decide to meet to repeal the emer-
gency bill, and Bruning declared that
in that case he would retire definitely
from his job Apparently by using
the threat of the financial catastrophe
approaching he sent the parliament
back home again, and now sits there
as real dictator of Germany.
Germany and the world are gain
ing a great confidence in this man as
a successful follower in Stresemann's
footsteps. Then came the near-trag-
edy and the Hoover rescue. Then
Bruning made big speech by radio
offering France peace and good will,
and Immediately France has invited
him to Paris for an informal friendly
visit to discuss German-French af-
fairs.
1t looks like Europe is getting
Strengthened out towards something
like reasonableness, and might be
ready to talk sense at the disarma-
ment conference next February. Ger
many is sensible enough, for she has
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. France is suspicious of every
one, wants to enjoy having won the
war, and be the ruling hand in all
that goes on. America has the OPP
portunity, as she has at last realized,
of playing deciding part in making
the European nations come to time.
Rut-in the meantime there are ma
tioralistic demonstrations and warlike
speeches in Germany which are
enough to bring France, Poland, and
all other neighboring nations to
arms against German threats" And
every day there are gang fights and
political murders, usually between ex-
IRENE right and left. There is no
united German folk following a clear
way to peace and International re-
Cancellation. A governing majority
may achieve these ends.

COLBY FEE FOUGHT
BY OIL CONCERN
Claim Former Secretary Mis-.
represented Facts in ST.
100000 Suit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Efforts of cambridge Colby, former
Secretary of State, to collect fee OF
S333,333 in a war claims case have been
met by charge that he misrepresented
facts in the suit to his client, the Inter-
ocean Oil Co., Inc, of New York.
The suit is pending in the District Of
Columbia Supreme Court.
The company and its subsidiary, the
United States Asphalt Refining Co., re-
covered approximately 100000 in
1926 from Germany as damages for
four ships sunk by submarines during
the World War.
Agreed on Third.
Colby and his law partner Edward d.
Brown of New York represented the
concern under an agreement that they
would receive a third of the amount
recovered.
Through its attorneys, Harvey D. ia
cobs and Walter M. Bastian, the Inter
ocean Oil Co. contends the $685. 1888 Is
excessive in view of the work that Colby
and his partner did, and that the for
mer induced the company to sign a
written fee agreement by misrepreSent-
ing and concealing facts.
Colby Denies Charge.
Colby denies the charges. The fee
was upheld by Chandler Anderson, the
American commissioner on the Mixed
Claims Commission. The company also
contends that Colby knew, but failed to
inform it, that the Mixed Claims Com
mission would do practically all the
work in connection with American
claims. not even allowing private at
torney to appear before it.
The case is to be heard on Its merits:
