ner is wholly untrue. The Governor
declined the invitation several days
prior to the banquet for the reason
that he desired to visit with Mime
sofa representatives and other public
officials concerning matters affect
ing the State of Minnesota and its
people. His time in Washington was
so short that he did not feel he
could afford to spend it in attending
social functions.
The COwardly "WOman' Slander.
with reference to the alleged
trouble the Governor has had with
some woman who is supposed to have
received large payment of money
in order to keep things quiet-this

The Governor and his wife are very

unfair to spread such unfOunded and

WHO IS NORTON!
(The State NewS)

Who is Willis |. Norton? What is
Nortonism? These are common ques-
tions that are being asked by many
citizens outside of the Twin Cities
who are unacquainted with Willis l.
Norton and the things he represents.
Because NOrtonism and it's twin broth
er, nepotism, are vital issues in many
of the legislative districts. we wish TO
briefly touch upon Willis |. Norton
and his works. To understand the
full meaning of the term, NortOniSm,
one should observe the state legisla-
ture in action. 1t has been the privi-
lege of the writer to do this for many,
many sessions.
Willis |. Norton was first elected to
the Legislature in 1913 from the Twen-
ty-ninth District. He served this dis
trict until 1923 and then carpet
bagged across the line to the Twenty
third District which he still repre-
sents in the lower house. Mr.. Norton
made his first appearance in the legis-
lature as a progressive and up until
1919 he was recognized leader OF
the so-called progressive block in the
lower house. In 1919, however, the
worm turned and NOrtOnism became
synonymous with special privilege in
the legislature. Up until the session
of 1919 which marks the turning point
in his career, Mr.. Norton was highly
regarded by the leaders of progressive
= r. uhf fatn
the cause of Woman Suffrage, PrOhi-
bition, and many other reforms for
which the people were in those days
clamoring. Up until 1919 he was an
uncompromising foe of the grasping
public utility interests. 1t was he
who almost single-handed defeated
the Warner Street Railway Bill which
was the forerunner of the Brooks
Coleman measure. 1t was he who or
ganized the lower house for the Anti
Saloon League, which, it later devel-
oped, retained him as their paid coun-
sci. 1t was Norton's master mind
which organized the Anti-Saloon
League lobby, the most powerful lobby
which ever operated in the halls Of
| the Minnesota Capitol.
AS the paid attorney of the Anti
Saloon League he made associations
and contacts upon which he built a
prestige and a position unequaled by
that ever held by any man who sat
in the legislature. Upon the wings
of Prohibition he rose to power. 1t

upon the brewers. But with the pas
sage of the Eighteenth Amendment
and the brewer and distiller cut of
business, thousands of citizens and
taxpayers began to turn their atten-
tion to the activities of big business
and it's relation to the public. Big
business needed protection in the
legislature and the Norton Anti
Saloon League machine was ready

Olson Starts
Something With
Economy Plan

The two weeks payless vaca-
tiOn that Governor Olson asked
state departments and employees
of the university to undertake
this summer as a matter of econ
Omy has had its good effects. A
few of the departments at the
capitol, headed by conservatives
who are out to discount the gov
ernor, did not accept his proposal,
and the university did not come
in right away. However, the
plan was accepted by so many
state employees that substantial
saving was effected. Now the
university has come out with
plan of its own for saving the
state some expense. Following
is the letter sent out by the uni
versity which explains the plan:
Minneapolis. Sept. 2O-November 16
is the date on which all employees of
the University of Minnesota will begin
to make the voluntary salary contri
button which they agreed upon
through a special committee that
acted during the summer. The de-
ductiOns will be made from each of
the half-monthly pay checks receiv-
able from that date until and includ-
ing April /. This will make ten de-
ductions in all, an arrangement which
the committee deemed fairer, mas
much as the overwhelming majority
IF ~ NJ lou,
salaries.
Employees who receive $1,000 a year
or less will contribute one weeks pay,
and those who receive more than
$1,000, two weeks pay.
Inability of the university employees
to fall in line with the ''payless vaca-
ton" plan broached last June by the
governor was due to the fact that
many faculty members had already
received their last pay check at the
time the proposal was made. Fur
thermore, due to the many sources
including many nOn-state sources, it
was impossible to arrange an equit-
able contribution plan on such short
notice.
After long deliberations, the facul-
ty-employe committee, headed by Pro-
fessor Wilbur H. Cherry Of the Law
School, evolved the plan that is being
put into effect. Its operation was de-
ferred until November because many
on the teaching staff return October
after going without remuneration for
three months. 1t was thought, there
fore, that no deductions should be
made from the first checks they re-
ceived after returning to work. The
actual contributions are to be made
in ten equal installments.
Savings by this plan are expected to
range in the neighborhood of $4,000
AS has been announced, the Univer-
sity is also committed to a plan for
saving 100000 year from its allot-
ments in each of the two years OF

Mile Lacs County Times: One OF
the meanest cheats is being worked in
this country again. 1t is the old
scheme of preying on the bereaved.
The practice of the cheater is to get
names from death columns, call on
the widow, express sympathy and then
tell her that just before his death her
husband had ordered a bible from
him. The unsuspecting widow usu-

made for them. This powerful Anti
Saloon League lobby which Mr.. Nor
ton held in the hollow of his hand
was put upon the auction block and
sold to the public utilities operating
in this state.
In 1919 Mr.. Norton reversed his
position on the Warner Street Railway
measure and nursed through the leg
islature the BrookS-Coleman law,
which he has guarded selfishly since
it's passage. 1t was he who jammed
through the legislature the 1925 Grade
Crossings Act for the relief of the
railroads and it is his country friends
who have kept it on the statute books.
A weaker and less resOurceful man
than Mr.. Norton would long ago have
lost his hold upon the Legislature. He
has been able to hold together the
various interests of Big Business in
the lower house and because of this
he has dictated the election of the
Speaker, named the personnel of i'm
pOrtant committees and led the ma
jority of the house like so many sheep.
Nepotism, which is defined by Web
ster as the practice of bestowing pat
rOnage upon relatives by reason of
relationship rather than of merit, has
become a permanent institution under
the rule of Norton in the lower house.
This practice has entrenched Mr.. Nor
ton more securely than ever. 1t has
corrupted honest members of the leg
islature, invited legislative extrava
gance and encouraged Incidence and
inefticiency in the conduct of the busi-
ness of the legislature.
Mr.. Norton, it is alleged, has for
many years been the collector" and
'.pay-off" man for the special interests
in this state. Only recently George
N. Briggs, we'll known ''chisler" for
Big Business, filed complaint against
Charles E. Elmquist, Weyerhaeuser
attorney, for back pay, in which he
declares that Willis 1. Norton was the
pay-off man for the big business in
terests which some months ago Or
ganiZed a "committee' to fight the
passage of the State Income Tax
amendment. The farmer, the home
owner, the taxpayer, in fact every citi-
zen who favOrs the adoption of the
Income Tax amendment should bear
this in mind when he votes for can
ddates for seats in the legislature.
No member of the legislature can
serve Norton and the common in
terests of the people at one and the
same time. That is why NOrtonism is
such big issue in many of the legis-
lative districts. All of the voters in
Minnesota will take part in the cleo
ton of the members who will sit in
the lower house of our 1888 legisla-
ture. This is the time to scrutinize
the record and the associations of
your candidates for the house. Don't
wait until after November Sth. That
will be tCo late. Demand that your
candidates for representative in the
state legislature make themselves
clear upon the issue of Nortonism
This is one issue which you should
not permit them to side-step.

President Sends Relief
Bill Back To Congress
Immediately.
ACTION EXPECTED
Compromise Plan Offer
ed On Wagner-Garner
Program.

WASHINGTON, July IL. U.R)-
President Hoover today sent to
congress a prompt and vigorous
veto of the 50, 100000 Wagner
Garner unemployment relief bill.
The vetoed bill Immediately was
referred to the house ways and
means committee, with the Demo-
cratic leadership making no at
tempt to override the veto.
The Presidents veto message was
dispatched from the White House
less than 10 minutes after the bill,
passed by both houses in defiance
of Hoover's relief views, was re-
ceived from congress.
Hoover said the Wagner Garner
bill violates every sound prin-
ciple of public finance and of gov
ernment.
Never before mas so dangerous
suggestion been seriously made
to our country the President said.
Mr.. Hoover urged enactment of
compromise relief bill, which, he
said should be based around the
following proposals he had made
previously. These proposals, Mr..
Hoover said, should embrace:
First: Title I of H. r. 12445,
the act now under consideration,
covering provisions for loans to
states in amount of $500, 900, 900 for
the care of distress in states where
needed.
Second: Title III of this act.
with the provision made applicable
to all parts of the title except for
roads and trails, that such works
shall not be initiated except on GER
tificate of the secretary of the
treasury that the funds necessary
are available and can be obtained
without interference with the cur
rent financing operations of the
government.
Third: That there should be
substituted for title II the SUBJ
stances of the provisions in the
substitute bill introduced by Sena-
tor Wagner and passed by the
senate, or senate bill 1922, intro
duced by Senator Barbour or sec
ton four of the substitute bill In
troduced by representative Hawley.
Among them they provide not only
loans for construction work on pro-
jects of self-liquidating character
but also essential aids to agricul-
ture.

CONFRONTED BY
MORE TROUBLES

LOS ANGELES, July Il. U.P)-
Mrs. Myrtle H. st. Pierre, comely
brunette nurse, saw little opportun-
ity today to collect, at least i'm
mediately, the $4,000 breach of
promise verdict she won Saturday
from David L. Hutton, husband of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hutton,
evangelist.
Hutton. in addition to announc-
ing an appeal to "the highest
courts" declared he was "broke."
"That st. Pierre woman won't
get a red cent out of me-" he said,
"because I haven't got one"
In spite of these difficulties, Mrs.
st. Pierre expressed happiness that
she "was vindicated."
"All I wanted was to clear my
name" she said. "It wasn't the
money because I don't think he has
any of his own
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hutton was re-
ported recovering from collapse
suffered when Iron Dave in
formed her of the verdict.
The evangelist struck her heae
on the floor when she fell uncon'
scious at the news, physicians said
and did not speak for several hours
They denied Mrs Hutton had suf-
fered serious injury.
Hutton today also faced a battle
to retain his position as manager
of Angelus Temple.
Hutton admitted some temple fol-
lowers were attempting to oust him
from control. "Just let them try >
he said. "My wife is still boss OF
Angelus Temple, and she'll attend
to that business in due time"
While Hutton romped an G
splashed in the swimming pool at his
wifes palatial Moorish mansion al
Lake Elsinore today, his attorneys
prepared to seel, new trial.
Hutton, in between dips, hurled
dares at Angelus Temple insurgents
who repeatedly would oust the cor
pulent husband of their leader
Aimee Semple Mcpherson.
Goodwin Oppegard, associated
with the defense counsel in the
three week trial. said today hc
would appear before Superior Judge
Lester M. Roth later this week tc
seek a new trial.
"If this is denied, we will appeal
the case" the attorney said.
"She won't get red cent from
me-" Hutton declared. "I haven't
got any money anyhow"
