THE LAFOLLETTE VOICE
IS HEARD

Il was a stirring speech that Gov
ernor Philip F. LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin gave over the radio-the WCCO
station at neapolis-Sunday eve
ming, when he was introduced by his
friend, Floyd B. Olson, Minnesota's
governor.
Governor LaFollette stated that the
number of unemployed in his state
is growing daily. 1t was 100000 on
Dec. 18th and now there are $4,000
families or a quarter of a million peo-
pie in the state in need and receiv-
ing public help. That was his reason
for calling a special session of the
legislature. The relief bill which
would have produced additional mon
ey through the state income tax
passed the lower house but lost by one
vote in the senate where the stalwarts
have a majority. Four of the sena-
tors who voted against the relief pro-
gram live in the northern part of Wis
consin and it was their constituents
the governor pleaded with for better
action on the part Of those lawmakers.
The governor pointed out that the
wealthy do not want relief measures
passed by congress for that means
more income taxes when it is fed
eral bill. They say the states should
take care of. Some states have income
tax laws also and they want to pass
1t onto the local communities where
the expense of relief is borne only
by general property taxation. Mr.. La
Toilette wants the expense of relief
in Wisconsin borne by the state and
through income taxes where it will
hurt the least. The governor said
that exemptions on the income tax
are $500 to single people and $4,000
to family of man, wife and two chill
dren. The cash income in Wisconsin
last year over those exemptions was
S250,00O,000, and the relief bill asked
for only $50 of that amount. Besides
living expenses the wealthy would
have $50 of the $3.50, 600, 900 for them
selves and yet they groan and moan.

cOvy of chickens, and they stayed
right around on my fields all summer.
But little good it did me for one day
some fellows drove along the road
with chicken dog, and the first thing
heard was a cannonaOing, and be-
fore | got on deck they were in their
car and gone. Of course they might
have been some of those few that own
all the game in the state, but even at
that | would have given them my
opinion of who owned those chickens.
But according to law when | found
have notified a game warden and paid
SO for a permit 20 let her hatch there
and then when they were ready to
eat let the other fellow have them
Now L have never made "holler"
about paying for hunting or fishing
licenses and l never even kicked when
they told me l would have to pay for
license when | got married, but be-
lieve me, | would if | were to do it
over again.
But what | am complaining about
is this: The law says that big game
means moose, bear, caribou, and deer.
We pay for big game license and
are only allowed to take a deer, the
smallest of big game.
Will some one explain to me what
is the big idea. ! suppose it is to
preserve the big game for the next
three or four generations to come
But | will say right here that if it
was open for all big game there
wouldn't be many bear or caribou
taken for | have hunted in this state
for over 30 years and the only caribou
| know of is up on that piece of land
in Lake of the Woods, but there won't
be many small hunters 90 up there
after them. 1t might be alright for
some of those that have more money
than they know what to do with, and
then they could &C over in Canada, for
when we hunt deer in Minnesota we
naturally drive the moose over there
and the season is open up there every
year so after a while we won't have
chance to get a moose in Minnesota
1t is the little fellow that | am looking
out for. The big fellow with lots of
money can go anywhere to get his big
game, but the poor fellows that own
land and pay taxes and license fees
can only take one little deer, and the
chances are that it has been born
and raised on his own land.
| think that a game license and
tags are good thing to have as there
is limit to the amount one shall
take. 1t gives a chance to check up
on it and l will say in conclusion that
think some of our game and fish
laws should be changed And | think
our lawmakers would do so if they
knew that the majority of the resi-
dents and taxpayers were in favor of
it. But how are they to know unless
the people open their mouths and say
something. Now, let's hear from
some of you. Don't keep mum till
after the thing is passed and then
come out and holler.

WANTS PETS
AskOv, Mimi, Jan. IL. 1882.
Editor AskOv American:

Editor AskOv American:
AS | have few more questions to
ask and think that by asking them
through the columns of your paper
that | might find some one to answer
them. You see it is long time since
] was to school and at that l only
got into the seventh grade, so natural
ly l am kind of dumb. But there is
one thing | do know and that is what
| don't know would make a bigger
book than what | know, anyway that's
what | come to the conclusion of after
reading the game laws of 1892.
Now | can't Understand why a person
living back in the woods or any
where, if he happens to catch fawn,
coon, bear, or porcupine and wants
to keep it for pet, why there should
be any law against it. We will sup
pose for instance he finds a fawn that
has been hurt. takes it up and feeds
il and doctors its injuries. 1t will
naturally become tame and will run
about at large, can go where it
pleaSeS, but it stays around the place
for protection. Will someone tell me
who has a better right to that animal
than he has. Why some of you say
good then, who is the state, if it is
not the people of the state. At that
he OWNS Just as much interest in that
fawn as any one else, and little
more, for the chances are he saved
it's life. Now the law reads that you
can't have any kind of animal for
pet without paying permit. That
doesn't sound just right to me. l saw
the time when we could pick up any
kind of animal and keep it for a pet,
without any red tape and at that you
didn't see so many pets. | think if
more of these laws that are made for
the people were made by the people
we could save thousands of dollars
that we are now paying out for game
wardens and other officers. For if
the majority of the people were in
favor of a law, say two-thirds, they
could easily look after the other one
third to see that they obeyed it. Now
IOT Instance you get a DOCK VI the law
and read a paragraph and at the end
it will say as amended in year so and
so, chapter so and so, and section so
and so. Well, now if you haven't got
such a section and such chapter
where are you? When a fellow reads
some of the laws of our state and
hears some people talk you would take
it for granted that our state and all
that is in it belonged to just one GER
tain bunch and the rest had nothing
to say, and it really looks that way,
but | won't give up my opinion that
own my share of it and also my in
terest in the game of the state, al
though it be small. Now | have a lit
tie cOincident to relate.
One time | found a prairie hen sit
ting on 20 eggs in my field, so | used
to put some grain in my pocket and
when near there would throw some
out around the nest. Finally she be-
came quite tame and l wouldn't al
low my dog to bother her, and she
Matched every egg, so l had nice

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Editor Askov American:

EultOT AShON AUloTlCdn.
Preserving the game for the sports
men by law. What is it leading to?
Looking back a century or more to
conditions then existing in Europe,
that the game was owned by the
big landed estate, the king and
the bishops at the big hunts. The
peasants and the labOrers were COM
Wandered out without any consider
alton for their time and labor, to
assist in driving the game for the
so-called nobility, but if the farmer
killed any game, he was liable to be
imprisoned for years, and if we go
back a little further we learn that
there was a life penalty for killing
game. The life of deer or a hare
was considered worth more than that
of a farmer or a laborer.
We are moving fast toward similar
conditions if we don't stop and con-
slider who really owns the natural
resources of the state of Minnesota
and the U. S. A, including game,
waterpOwer, mines, etc. All the nat
ural resources are the natural inher-
itance and the birthright of every
individual, human being, to enjoy in
equality as near as possible.
Take for instance our state school
fund. Naturally it should belong
equally to every child of school age,
or to each school district in proper
ton to the number of school chill
dren within that district. How is it
divided? The school district with a
consolidated school that can meet the
states requirements for buildings and
equipment takes the biggest share of
the money, and a large part of what
living in the smaller districts. Our
government and politicians have prac-
tically given away our natural re-
sources, hence we are burdened with
heavy taxes on labor and labOr's pro-
ducts, both directly and indirectly,
while the utility of our natural re-
sources would be ample to carry the
burden of all necessary administra-
ton and operating expenses of state,
county, towns and schools.
What men create with their labor
should by right belong to them I'M
impaired by taxes or levies of any
kind whatsoever, while they should
be bound to pay tribute or rental to
society, in one form or another, for
the use of the earth with whatever
there is on it which no man has
created if such natural resources have
a market value. If that is agreed to,
why should not a farmer have the
right to kill deer whether he needs
it to support his family or not, or
divides it with his neighbors and
friends?
Common sense says that he has that
right and common sense after all is
better guide for society than any
of the laws enacted by our Legisla-
lures when such laws are contrary to
common sense, and this includes pro-
hibition, birth control, etc.
According to the constitution of the
u S. the home is sacred, neither
sheriff nor game warden, or any one

permission unless he presents a legal
ly issued search warrant. If any Of
ficer enters a home or premises with
out such search warrant and obtains
evidence unlawfully such evidence
should be considered null and void
if the hOmemaker insists on his con-
stitutional right. If judgment is rem
dered based on evidence obtained by

illegal methods l consider the judge
as having gone beyond his constitu-
tiOnal power. If a game warden car
ries a block of blank search warrants
signed by justice and fills one out
on the spot, the justice as we'll as the
game warden acted illegally and
should be held responsible.
Last fall | am told game warden
entered home and filled out a search
warrant on the spot, opened several
cans of meat, found no evidence and
left the home with several opened
cans of meat to spoil
Every public officer is a servant of
the public and is supposed to be
courteous in speech and act as a gen.
tleman.

PROSECUTION
END OF TESTIMONY
IN MURDER HEARING
Winds Web Of Evidence Around
Honolulu Defendants; De-
Tense is Mystery

Honolulu, April 14.-tP)eEnmeshed
by many threads of the prosecutions
story of the lynching Of Joseph
Kahahawai, four persons accused OF
the killing watched Thursday for
Clarence Darrow to 60 into action
for their defense with tactics shroud-
ed in secrecy up to the last minute.
Except for one witness, Public
Prosecutor John G.. Kelley finished
his case Wednesday with testimony
that broke the frigid composure Of
the accused society matron, Mrs.
Granville Fortescue.
Her shoulders moved expressivcly
when two neighbor women testified
to hearing q shot from the direction
of her home at 9 a. m. January 8,
when Kahahawai allegedly was kill
ed there to avenge a criminal attack
on Mrs. Thalia Massie, daughter Of
Mrs. Fortescue.
Previously she had burst into tears
at the mention OF Mrs. Massie's
name by Jail matron who testified
she had asked Mrs. Fortescue If her
daughter had recovered from the at
tack.
With gruesome exhibits - bloody
sheets, a strip of one sheet taken
from Mrs. F'ortescue when she was
arrested in a motor car with Kahaha-
wai's body, and coil of rope found
in the Fortescue home-the prosecu-
tor wove his case, aided by many
witnesses. Then he turned to Cir
cult Judge Charles S. Davis.
I'VE need about Is minutes more.
judge" he said. "but would like to
have it tomorrow. We may have one
more witness"
I'VE will be ready" said Darrow
quickly, and court adjourned.
The remaining witness Is Mrs.
Joseph Kahahawai, ST., mother of the
slain athlete, who wept silently as
Kelley reached the climax Of hts ef-
fort to send Mrs. Fortescue and three
navy men to prison for the killing.
She probably will be called to iden-
tify a cap found in the Fortescue
home as that of her son.
What Darrow would do for q de-
Tense had the prosecution as we'll as
the general public guessing. Time
and again he dismissed prosecution
witnesses with That's all: no ques-
tions."
His apparent passivity served to
build up a belief he would seek to
free Mrs. Fortescue, Lieut.. Thomas
H. MasSie, e. j. Lord and Albert O.
Jones by fatty branding the lynch
ing as an avenging act, but he only
smiled when queried about it.

HEAVY PURCHASES
INCREASE PRICE Of
WHEAT AT CHICAGO
Quotations Now Are at Highest
Point Reached Since
Last November

Chicago. April 14-(R-Active gen.
eral buying late Thursday hoisted
wheat prices to the topmost point
touched since November last.
Crop damage reports were more
ominous than at any time heretofore
this season. Rainless skies prevail
ed, and indications were for persis-
tent widespread drought.
After maximum jump of almost
cents, wheat closed unsettled, Ia

changed to Ia higher, and provi-
sions unchanged to 2 cents down.
Opening unchanged to 1-2 higher,
wheat afterward cored an all around
advance. Corn started unchanged to
Ia off and later tended upward.
Helping to lift wheat values was n
statement by leading crop authority
that it was apparent harvest yields
were shrinking. The southwest prom
ised a small crop at best and without
ample rain production would be ex-
tremely short, he said.
Reactions were ascribed to selling
due to weakness of securities. On the
dips, however, wheat buying became
aggressive at times. Corn and oats
dragged owing to slowness OF demand
