 President Hoover, in delivering this terse statement, emphasiz ed forcefully each of his brief, sen- tences with vigorous shakes of his head.
 Tho proposed bonus legislation las been widely discussed infor- mally among members of congress but the agitation has not yet come actually to the floor of either house.
 MT Hoover's action in thus voic- ing unqualified opposition to this legislation before 1t crystalllzed was regarded as an attempt to dis courage members of the house and senate from joining the agitation to bring the measure up for con- sideration.
 The chief proposal Is that of Rep Patman, dem, Tex, for im- mediate full cash payment of the veterans adjusted compensation certificates.

 ShOuse Names McNeil
 Washington March 29 - (UP) - Jouett Shouse. chairman of the Democratic National Executive committee, was in New York to- day conferring with democratic party leaders over arrangements for the democratic national con- vention.
 The most difficult problem for the moment is that of selecting the keynoter, for which Shouse is fav- ored by Democratic National Chair man Raskob. The question will be decided at a meeting of the com mittee on arrangements at Chicago Monday. There are reports that Roosevelt forces will oppose Shouse as keynoter. but no public ment involving also naming of the permanent convention chairman and other officers.

 De Valera appeared determined to go ahead with his program and introduce his legislation as soon as the dail reconvenes on April 20.
 Passage of the measure in the dail is assured. Action in the sen. ate appears somewhat doubtful. If both dail and senate approve the republican policies, 1t will remain to be seen whether Britain will con. slider the Free State still a member of the British empire.
 If residents of the Free State are considered aliens, thousands of Irish residents of England will be subject to deportation and Free State goods will lose preferential treatment accorded empire pro. ducts.

THE AMENDMENT VOTE

Amendment No. 1.-THE proposed
constitutional amendment for the
state income taX-did not carry at the
that the state Legislature will pass a
statutory income tax law at this win
ter's session anyway. The attorney
general gave out as his opinion in
1881 that the state could levy a tax
on incomes without amending the con-
stitution but some attorneys are of the
opinion that the law would not be up
held by the courts and therefore a
referendum vote was taken OH amend
ing the constitution so that there
would be no doubt about it if the
amendment were passed. However,
the federal government has an income
tax and half the states of the Union
the decisions of the courts are to a
considerable degree influenced by
public opinion chances are that the
law if passed by the Legislature of
1888 will be upheld by the courts.
Pine county carried for the amend
ment almost three to one but it is in
teresting to study the vote by pre-
cincts and note how much stronger
the farmers were for the amendment
than the village folks.
1t is the same difference of opinion
as expressed in the primary vote OF
last June and which the AskOv Amer
lean called attention to. What is good
for the farmer should also be good for
the village folks and certainly there
should not be such a great difference
of opinion as expressed in this vote.
Sandstone village gave 1913 votes for
the amendment to 176 against it. And
just outside the village limits-Sand-
stone township-the vote was 11S for
and % against. Pine City village
voted 156 for and 173 against while
Pine township voted PIP for and 7S
against. Rock Creek gave 262 votes
for the amendment and GO against.
The only village to give a good vote
for the amendment, as did the farm
ers, was Askov, where the vote was
1O6 to "a, or better than four to one.

SHOULD BE 4 LESSON

The political campaign which we
just passed through will most likely
go down in the history of Minnesota
as one in which every despicable
method was used against the COVER
nor who was a candidate for .re-elec-
ton and won with big vote
There was SANDER and whispering
galore to villify and defame the char
acter of the man, who as governor of
this great state, has challenged the
forces of special privilege that have
been exploiting the masses of people
in Minnesota for 20 years.
Governor OlSon's determination to
improve our taxation program SO as
to shift some of the taxation burden
to shoulders better able to bear it.
his forcing of tax dodgers to pay their
due share, his attacks upon the lob
bying fraternity in the state capitol.
his efforts to inaugurate public
power program to reduce electric
light and power rates-these and
other efforts in behalf of the people
have heaped upon him the militant
antagOnism of the long entrenched
special privilege interests together
with their hirelings all over the state.
These special interests and their hire
lings are masters in the art of con-
Quoting campaigns of villiticatiOn.
Determined to unseat the Farmer
Labor leader if at all possible, and
there being nothing against his public
record, they resorted, as they have
done before, to the task of undermin-
ing him personally. They were too
cowardly to take up debate, knowing
they had not leg TO stand on.
The villification crowd, however,
failed to realize that the governor
with a great fighting heart, remark
able courage, Intelligence. and out
standing oratOrical ability, routed his
foes at every turn. A man with less
ability and courage and the many
other excellent qualifications of Floyd
B. Olson might have gone down under
the barrage. but the peoples governor
was undaunted.
This election should be lesson for
the future to those using unjustifiable
tactics.

The only candidate ON the Farmer
Labor ticket to receive plurality in
Martin county was C. F.. Gaaren-
stroOm, congressional nominee His
vote came to him no doubt because
of the fact that he is a local man.
Another factor i'm the result in Free
born county was the comparatively
large circulation that the Farmer
Z. ",
counties in Minnesota have larger
number of Leader subscribers than has
FreebOrn and these subscribers have
been obtained, in the main, by local
Farmer-Labor workers. Incidentally.
too, it may be mentioned that the vote
for the ticket was comparatively
straight. Nearly all of the Farmer
Labor nominees led their Republican
and Democratic opponent. The same
consistency in the vote prevailed in
the contest for state representative
P. A. Peterson. Farmer-Labor endor-
see. and veteran Nonpartisan Lacquer,
won over his reactionary opponent,
former Representative Nj. J. ROhne.
Lesson to be Learned.
The lesson to be learned is that
organization is necessary to perma-
nent success for the Farmer-LabOr
movement and organization is incom-
plete without substantial circulation
for the organ of the party. True,
there are in many counties splendid
Farmer-Labor publications but the
number of counties having such pub
locations is small. Moreover, such
publications cannot become educa-
tional publications devoted entirely
to the Farmer-Labor cause but must
primarily remain newspapers.
OF course, it would be entirely i'm
proper to overlook the fact that the
Farmer-LabOr party of Minnesota has
most unusual campaigner in the
person of Governor Floyd B. Olson.
The governor is a man of extraOrdi-
nary ability, and his power as a cam
paigner was demonstrated during the
closing days of the campaign. That
fact, however. makes the necessity
for organization all the more appar-
ent No movement can survive for
any great length of time if it has to
depend upon a single individual for
its success at the polls. The work
of organization for the campaign of
1884 should begin Immediately and
experienced men be put on the job
to build up local units of such a pO-
litical machine in all parts of the
state.

VOTERS THOUGHT FOR
THEMSELVES

Chas. E. Elmquist, former railroad
and warehouse commissioner and now
attorney for the Weyerhauser lumber
interests with offices in St. Paul, said
at a Pine county Republican rally
shortly before the election that there
never was time in the history of
Minnesota when it was so important
not, according to his interests. This
man ElmQuist who was county at
torney of Chisago county in his young
er days, is the person who appeared
before the Tax Committee of the
lower House of the legislature in the
session of 1881 and argued that the
maximum rates of an income tax
should not be more than thrice the
minimum rate. In other words. but
three per cent. That tells one story
of how interested the reactiOnaries
are for the adoption of good income
tax in Minnesota. If we are to have
an income tax they naturally want it
to be as ineffective as possible The
reactiOnaries pretended to be for the
income tax in the campaign simply
because it had been popularized and
they did not dare to be against it
openly. Earle Brown went out over
the state and sObbed because he said
his opponents accused him of not be-
ing for the income tax and to show
that he had been for this tax reform
