Minnesota delegation Of congressman
how they like Governor Olson's veto
of the redistricting bill. Putting 49,
900 people more in one district than
in another was plenty reason for the
governors veto.
The governor can veto bad bills,
and he did that, but it is pretty much
to expect him to create legislation
that he favors when the voters of the
state give him legislature that is
two-thirds reactionary and against
the progressive program.
1t is of course anybody's privilege
to vote for Earle Brown for governor.
but if anybody votes for him because
he is farmer-that is supposedly a
farmer. that is amusing. Yes. Brown
lives out there where he has some
horses, Belgian show and race horses.
Did Brown become wealthy at farm
ing? Did he make his living milking
cows and digging potatoes? Brown.
farmer, is laughable! And there
are folks who still fall for such. And
even if Brown were real dirt farm
er, would it make him better fitted
for the office of governor? That old
campaign rot ought to be worn out by
this time. 1t is not a persons Occu-
patton nor his clothing that make
the man. What understanding and
what vision has he? Does he put
human life above property? Is he a
studious, experienced person who can
not be humbugged? Is his heart in
the right place and is he willing to
work and give the people his best?
Those are some of the important
questions and they cannot be an
swered by looking at the photograph
of a man standing alongside of a
horse.
To lose a man of Governor OlsOn's
ability, courage, and understanding
from the public service at this time
would be backward step and especi-
ally so if he were replaced by man
who represents wealth-mOre and
more Capitalization, bats with the
boys who are for special privileges
the type that seem to be satisfied
if they can only have their own little
nest feathered-that small, selfish
viewpoint. Something bigger and
broader is needed. Just recently
Brown has come out for a state in
come tax. This proposed tax is pop
ular, the demand for it is so great
that in order to get votes for himself
he must get ION the band wagon" Do
we want leaders who have to be
whipped into line or do we want men
of vision who can see the needs of the
people and will labor for such i'm
provements as are needed? Do you
want a hired man who has to be
watched all the time so that he does
not loaf or go to sleep on the job or
would you rather have one who is up
and coming and on his toes for your
welfare?
Even some of the misguided voters
will get Strengthened out before cleo
tion and Minnesota's chief executive
should be and will be returned to
office in November to work for the
people another two years.

GOVERNOR NOT A MONARCH
Editor AskOv American:

Editor AskOv American:
Mr.. Nick Hartland says in your
paper that Governor Olson two years
ago promised to reduce taxes, restore
the government to the people and
place everyone on a basis of equal
ity."
Now he seems to be mad because
Olson has not done so, but he must
remember that Olson is not an absO-
lutte Monarch and that we have a leg
islature to pass bills before the COVER
nor can make them law by signing
them. l am sure the governor is not
so foolish that he would promise a
thing that he can not do.
Then Hartland says: Governor Oh
son addressed us last Friday, and
gave us the same old line that he did
two years ago" What he said two
years ago l don't know, but when it
was the same now as it was at that
time, there is no such promise in it,.
1t may be that Mr.. Hartland does not
understand the difference between aG-
vocating a thing and promising to
force it through, himself. Mr.. Hart
land had better read, the address Of
Olson so as to get an understanding
of it. We can not take much stock
in what he writes when he can so
badly misunderstood such plain ad-
dress as that of the governors.
Hartland says: He didn't tell why
he appointed millionaire instead Of
a dirt farmer for game and fish COM
missioner" May be it should be a
dirt farmer. The governor not know
ing that, but now when Mr.. Hartland
has called the governors attention to
it and made himself known, it may
be that Olson will appoint him next
time.
Understand, Mr.. Hartland, when
money is used it is not the governor
but the legislature that does it, and
don't grumble too much about the
state spending too much when the
state uses less than one-tenth of the
taxes we pay, and some of that the
towns and school districts get back
for schools and roads. 1t is the coun-
ties, towns, and schools that make the
high taxes that you blame the COVER
nor for.
Now about appointing officers: 1t is
governed by law, but think we have
more officers than needed, and if so,
it is previous legislators for making
such laws and present Legislators for
not amending same, that are to blame,
not the governor. The governor does
not pay bills or salaries. The legis-
lature votes how much to collect for
each purpose, and that is all the state
gets to use, and as there are so many
not able to pay the tax, the state is
that much short.
The governor is strongly in favor of
an income tax to reduce the tax on
farms and other property, and for that
reason those with the large incomes
don't want him.

If as individuals and as a nation
we profit by the lesson that the reck-
less use of credit is dangerous and
not to be repeated, then the depres-
sion is not without it's benefits. Loans
have to be paid some time. There
viduals and corporations. When
municipalities have to resort to Dor
rowing it would be better if more of
that was from the government Too
much borrowing from individuals and
corporations gives them the idea that
they are bigger than the governme nt
and they often act that way.

MAKES GUESS
 ION AWARDING ljANNUAL PRIZE
Eugene O'Neill Apparently Slated to Be Given
 Pulitzer Award

NEW YORK, Jan. ,22.-Broad- ways supposition is that. the Fuli- tzer' prize judges will give this seasons drama award to Eugene ONeill for his Mourning Becomes Electra without so much as a wrinkling of brows. s.s
 That is, unless some other pro- duction comes along to challenge 1t pretty soon. Advance notices do not herald such an advent.
 Of course, the attitude of the award committee is concealed. But If the judges feed as many think they should, it must be pleasant relief for them after the situation they found themselves in last year.
 Then they frankly were up against 1t to make a selection which would meet general approval.
 They finally named Susan Glas- pell's "Alison's House." and to this day whenever the 1881 prize is mentioned in company it starts an argument. v

NEW YORK. strike at the
Durable Tool and Dye Co. is still on
with militant picketing continuous
and the workers in an excellent
fighting mood, determined to stick
to the end.
The strike was declared last Sat
urday against the lockout which the
boss resorted to in order to break up
the organization in the shop and beat
down the conditions won by the
workers after a victorious strike 2
months ago led by the Metal Work
ers' Industrial League.
A few scabs went up to work !;
nevertheless production was at a
standstill since the key departments
such as the tool room, and so forth
are completely paralySed. These
scabs were ipokcl to by the strikers
after work yesterday evening and
said that they we're convinced not to
come to work this morning but in
stead Join the rest of the strikers.
The boss does not venture to leave
the shop without an escort of at
least 2 dicks.
All workers are asked to help out
to support this strike by ptcketing in
front of the shop which begins this
morning and continues throughout
the day.

Sirovich was notified last Monday
that the workers of his district were

NEW YORK. Debu-
chi, representative of the Japanese
government which is in the front
ranks in the attack upon the Chinese
people, will be given a reception and
dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria by
the leading imperialists of this coun-
try. This will take place at the 25th
anniversary Of the Japan Society
which occurs on Wednesday.
The president of this organization
is the liberal. George w. Wicker
sham, who recently at the Round Ia
Bile Conference, declared, THAT the
light of Soviet Russia would never
shine upon the U. 81, at the same
time that he praised American CAPT
talist institutions, with their hunger
program and lynch terror against the
workers. The other officers and di-
rectors who will be present are {:
Thomas w. Lamont, Myron G. Tay-
lor, General J. G.. Harbord, Jerome j.
Hanuer, Charles c. Birmingham, How
ard Mansfield, Gerard Swope, Arthur
M. Anderson and Lynde Selden.
At time when U. S. imperialism
is pretending to disapprove of the
actions of the Japanese government
in China in burning Shanghai, in
numbering the Chinese masses and
carrying on war moves in Hardin to
embroil the Soviet government, it is
noteworthy that these festivities take
place in New York, and showing the
agreement Of the U. S. and Japanese
governments against the Chinese
people.
The movement If gun boats and
marines from Manila to China is not
only TO offset the Japanese opera
ton, but together with the Japanese
and British forces, to move against
the Chinese Soviet Republic and the
Soviet Union.
The workers of New York and Of
this country must take note of this
reception for the Japanese ambassa-
dor, which is an act Of solidarity of
the Wall Street bankers with the
Japanese imperialists and an act of
hostility against the Chinese workers
and peasants and the Soviet Union
These same bankers and imperial
lists are those who are forcing the u
million unemployed in this country
and are cutting wages all over the
