Depression Is fought in Italy by public works and organized relief, according to a statement of the It. ally American society. The sus- pension of the gold standard in Great Britian and other countries has caused no financial panic and no flight of the lira. Bear" raids have been checked and the budget deficit has been met by levying for revenue purposes an 'ad valorem customs surcharge of fifteen per cent on all imports.
 However, a 3,629 million lira ap- priation has been provided by the government for the winter to in- tensify the general program of the following public works:
 l. Reclamation of hundreds of
 thousands of acres of malar-
 ious marsh-lands.
 2. Irrigation works to combat
 recurrent periods of drought. 8. Erection of aqueducts.
 4. Improvements of roads com
 munications in the South and
 the islands.
 5. Erection of school building. G. Decentralization of over-pop-
 
 viding, in, other districts econ-
 omically depressed by the lack
 of adequate labor supply,
 conditions which will allow
 surplus population to settle
 there.
 z. General improvement of hous-
 ing sanitary conditions In
 backward provinces
 8. Full utilization of 1taly's
 white coal" to provide the
 cheap power needed for ag-
 riculturial development.
 All these works satisfy real needs long recognized by all the politi- cal parties which have held office in the United Italy since 1860, con- tinues the statement of the Italy America society. By satisfying these wants the real wealth of the country is being effectively ana substantially increased. It Is held that the intensif!cation of the work at a time when 1t can be of special social value by absorbing the un- employed Is no waste of public money but a sound and timely in- vestment, and one which safe- guards social peace.

FIRST CLUE HAS
 BEEN UNEARTHED
 IN BOMB MYSTERY
Manufacturers Code on Batteries Used in Bombs Sent Through Mail Leads to Cain Store

New York, Jan 8.-(UP)-A manufacturers code, stamped on the bottom of the small radio bat teries used in the recent nation wide bomb plot against prominent Italians has given investigators their first real clue. The letters "EJOB" placed on the royal radio e" batteries used in the 12 bombs mailed and expressed to Fascist sympathizers in New York, Chi cago. Cleveland, Detroit and Youngstown, led the investigators to metropolitan chain store. They hope the radio clerk there will identify the purchaser of these batteries. The investigators feel that an order of 12 batteries at one time should have attracted the clerks attention.
 Discovery of the battery clue marks the starting point of the sec- ond investigation into the Bomb plot. The first collapsed when three Italain travellers who spent the night of the explosion in Eas- ton. Pa, and then drove to New York, were able to explain their presence satisfactorily,

TRYING TO DELAY

The income tax bill to be introduced
in the next session of the Minnesota
legislature, as we'll expressed by Gov
ernor Floyd B. Olson, must be re-
placement tax. 1t must also shift the
burden of taxation from property
which now bears more than its just
share of taxation to sources better
able to pay.
The program advocated by some in
terests to have the item of replace
ment embodied in the constitutional
amendment is only a subterfuge to
further delay this just form of tax
alton. No country and no state func-
tioning under the income tax system
has any such proviso in its constitu-
ton. The people must be alert to
where this cry of replacement in the
constitution is coming from, the con-
slant efforts of delay and delay on
good legislation. The people must
protect their own interests as the
special privilege forces are continu-
ally working to have government
function largely in their behalf.
Vote for Amendment No. 1 at the
fall election.

NEEDLESSLY HURT

At a recent school meeting par
ent objected to admission charges at
school programs. athletics, or any
kind of contests, put on during the
school hours between grades, high
school, classes or individuals. This
was good constructive criticism that
might we'll be passed on and consid-
cred many places. Even though the
admission be only five or ten cents
there may be children who have not
the price and cannot get it from
home. Practically the whole class
can and does pay the admission, but
there will be a few children left out
side of the entertainment room. The
embarrassment of poverty is felt more
by children than grown-ups. Anyone
raised in a home of small means
knows that. The child should be
saved that sting where it is needless.
Admission to all school activities dur
ing school hours should be free to
the children. Programs after school
hours, in the evenings, is different
matter.

SOME WIND!

An oldtimer writing in Minnesota
rural weekly newspaper, evidently
afraid of dire effects should the peo-
pie do a little thinking and vote ac-
cording to intelligence and dictates
of conscience, certainly knows how to
minimize present economic conditions
i'm the following lines: Conditions
today are admittedly bad, but as COM
pared to the we'll nigh universal mis-
cry of the '90s it is but as a strong
wind in comparison with tornado.
The fellow who wrote those lines
should do a little checking up. The
number of people out of work today is
much greater than in the nfneties--
IL, 100000 without any work and an
other 100000 usually gainfully en-
ployed now on part time. Of course
the number would be greater today
than forty years ago because there
are more people in the country, but
let him check up on a percentage
basis and see if the percentage is not
much greater also. Likewise as tG
people in need, not to say anything
of down right starvation. Yes, it is
a strong wind" and requires more
than platitudes to remedy it.

A southern man suggesting court
procedure improvements writes the
following lines:
Our courts are slipping from the
high standard they once enjoyed. A
good acceptable juryman today is one
who does not read the papers, or if so,
lacks the mental ability to form an
opinion. Witnesses are sworn to tell
the whole truth, and yet the judges
will permit the lawyers to argue for
hours to keep them from it.
Under the English practice. the
judge will stop the useless debate of
the attorneys, and himself reach the
facts by direct questioning. l am adj
vised by one Of our judges who stu
died the expeditions methods of the
courts of England, that the court
costs are about half as much as ours.
II have known some prosecuting at
torneys, who wishing to make a repu-
tatiOn from themselves, degenerated
into prosecuting attorneys"

DENMARK VIEWS WITH ALARM
(St Paul DiSpatch)

The Scandinavians, and particular
ly, the Danes, are given a good scare
by threats of British preferential tar
ifs for the benefit of the dairy pro-
ducts of Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land, and the Irish Free State.
The united front presented at the
Ottawa conference by these four
parts of the empire in demands for
preference of their dairy products
will be viewed uneasily by the north
European countries. Denmark, es-
pecially, is greatly dependent upon
England as a buyer of it's dairy pro-
ducts. Practically all of Denmarks
bacon, butter and egg exports go to
supply the breakfast tables of Great
Britain. 1t is probably no exaggera-
ton to say that every Englishman be-
gins his day with some Danish dairy
product or other under his belt. 1t

OFF ON A DETOUR

Something to eat is far more i'm
portant than something to drink, es-
pecially when folks are underfed
Getting jobs for people is para
mount problem-far greater than the
wet and dry issue and other smoke
screens that may be thrown up to
obscure the real issues.
But a statement made the other
day by Henry Ford, the great auto
attention if for no other reason than
that Mr.. Ford has become famous in
manufacturing. He said:
az know from daily observation for
over 40 years that there is not one
per cent of the drinking done in the
United States that was done for
merly."
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., recently
came out against the 18th amend
ment, and editorially The Minneapolis
Tribune puts it thus: "The sincerity
and the good will of neither Mr.
Rockefeller nor Mr.. Ford can be
questioned, but Mr.. Ford is unfor
tunate, once he leaves his field OIL
manufacturing, in that his enthus
iasm and lack of information carry
him to an extravaganza of assertion
in some instances that nullify his
general argument"
In other words, outside of manu-
featuring, The Tribune calls Mr.. For(
dumb. The, paper is quoted further
I'VE do not think that the most ar
dent advocate of prohibition will at
tempt to sustain this statement o
Mr.. Ford.
1--WE have the federal figures fol
the consumption of liquor in the
United States before prohibition an(
we have Director of Prohibition
Woodcock's estimate of the amount Of
liquor illegally manufactured in the
United States annually since prohibit
tion. They show we are making in
our kitchens and cellars 80 per cent
of the beer that was made in our
breweries in 1913, so per cent of the
whisky and lis per cent OF the wine"

DEPENDS ON WHO IS LOBBYING

During every session of Congress in
recent years the national capital at
Washington has been Overrun by
hordes of paid lobbyists representing
special privilege interests of America,
as for example an outstanding che be-
ing Mr.. Grundy of Pennsylvania.
These groups who pool their interests
have been able to put over such detri-
mental legislation as the Hawley-
Smoot tariff law which has contrib
uted so much to the depression that
we are now wallowing through. The
lobbyists have also been influential
in helping to put over loans to for
eign countries. A check should be
put on these groups through the
searchlight of more publicity. The
powerful daily press and the me-too
press sometimes known as the feed
box press) say too little concerning
this influence.
The World war veterans went 70
Washington to do some work for the
bonus, but it was mighty unfortunate
the way this matter was handled
the manner in which they were run
out of town, and so on. The heroes
of 1917-1S have from newspaper re-
ports become "a mob with criminal
tendencies dangerous
citizens" What a change in short
Is years! The bungling of this df-
fair was most unfortunate and met
with the condemnation of good citi-
zens all over America? Many of our
leading statesmen as Senator'S Ship
stead, Borah, Blaine, and others have
issued statements criticising the
methods used by the authorities in
the handling of the war veterans,
their wives and children.
If the men had had work and food
there would not have been the con-
centrated effort and agitation for the
bonus. They got neither nork nor the
bonus
