RELIEF EXPERTS OF OPINION ]. 5. MUST
 HELP UNEMPLOYED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4, (R) Federal funds are needed to meet the unemployment crisis in tn e big cities of the United States, ac- cording to the testimony given be- fore a subcommittee of the Senate manufacturers committee, by men who have had years of experience in supervising relief.
 William HodSon, executive direc- tor of the Welfare council of New York City, declared relief in New York is now on a disaster basis He said everything possible is being done but insisted available funds are not adequate for the situation in New York or elsewhere.
 Samuel Goldsmith pictured Chi cago's plight as worse than New York's and J. P Murphy of Phila- delphia bore further testimony to poor conditions.
 Senator Costigan, member of the committee, again urged the pass age of bills appropriating large sums for relief insisting such spe- cial action could not be interpreted as a dole.
 President Hoover, in an informal statement, answered the Democra- tic threat of careful consideration of administration bills" by declar- ing no one will be more pleased than himself with any move to re- duce government expenses for 1892.

REPUBLICANS TO
HOLD CONFERENCE
Delegates Will Gather in st.

Party Ticket
BURY FACTION STRIFE
Headquarters Opened at Re-
gan Hotel With Secretary
Haislett In Charge

The Statewide G. o. P. Confer
ence to be held in the st. Paul
Municipal Auditorium March 10Th
will open the 1882 Victory Drivs of
the Republican party in Mime
sofa.
Called by the executive council
of the Republican State Central
Committee, the conference will
select state ticket on which the
party can make a united stand
when it goes before the voters in
November.
"The primary purpose Of the
Statewide Conference is to Sc
cure the united support of the en-
tire Republican party in the state
for a definite ticket running on a
definite, constructive platform" !"
e. L. Mcmillan chairman of :he
State Central Committee, declared.
The Endorsing Conference win
make it possible to avoid any fac
tional fights within the party at
the primary election in June. This
will enable the Republican forces
to enter the November contest at
their maximum strength, which
will assure victory"
The official called for the State
Wide Conference will be sent out
to the county chairmen and chair
women within the next few days.
The necessary preliminary work,
however, is already underway.
Precinct and county caucuses are
to be held March 14th and 18th
respectively. Local delegates will
be selected at these meetings for
the state conference and conven-
ton.
The special meeting of the
State Central Executive Com
mittee at the Ryan Hotel in st.
Paul Jan. 26 found the various
factions in the party ready to
make a united stand. Representa-
tives of the Young Republicans
Group, the Rockne Committee, the
Women's Republican Organization
and the State Central Committee
all supported the move for a pre-
primary party gathering and
pledge their support for the En-
dorsing Conference.
This is the first time since 1920
that the Republican Party has at.
tempted to select a state ticket
prior to the regular primary elec-
tion. Other parties in the state
have held such conferences in
past years.

Study Townships Taxes On
March s, Says Farm Bureau
Local Leyies Uses Up Large Share
Il Of Total, Says Secretary
j. s. Jones

Anaopportunity for direct and
sure action on their tax levies
awaits Minnesota rural people who
attend their annual township meet
ings to be held on March 8, says j.
S. Jones, secretary-treasurer Of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau. With the
spread between rural income and
rural taxes widening by leaps and
bounds it is necessary that careful
attention be paid to the leyying of
taxes, in order that expenses may
be held to the minimum consistent
with good public service, the farm
leader asserted.
The state auditor says that town
ship taxes take from 8 to 9 percent
of the taxes paid in Minnesota. In
some instances, the township levy
takes more than 20 per cent of the
total tax money paid by the farmer.
With this fact in mind, that town
ship taxes take very substantial
part of his tax monsy. every farm
er could well afford to take time
off on March 8 to attend his an
nuaI township meeting and take an
active part in making the township
tax levy.
It may or may not be possible to
cut the township levy very much
without Gripping some necessary
public service, but at least assur-
ance will be given those who at
tend that no unwise expenditure
