NOTHING TO OFFER

With nothing to offer except de-
structive critisism, the Democratic
nominees spoke Monday night in the
Maryland Theatre for two hours and
one-half, and when the time was up
they hadn't offered single solution
of any national problem. Their time
had been spent in charging President
Hoover with failing to live up to any
promises made in 1928, with the re-
sponsibility for the failure of 5000
banks and the cause of unemeploy-
ment and condition of the farmer
and business men of today. That is
only food for weak-minded people.
Mr.. Tydings really spoke the truth
in the beginning of his address when
he said that the things involved were
bigger than either party, and that no
politics could make prosperity. But
he later tried to point out that Presi-
dent Hoover and the Republicans had
caused every i'll in the country since
1928.
Mr.. Tydings wants the country's
budget balanced. Well, who doesn't?
But did Mr.. Tydings say how this was
to be done? Did he offer any solu-
ton? He also wants a common-sense
tariff. Did he state what common
sense tariff might look like?
He also charged-but there is no
need to go further. His whole speech
was a charge account, and he never
offered any assurance that in chang
ing the heads of the U. S. and Com
pany the account would not be con-
tinued in the same manner in which
he accused the Republican party of
doing the past four years.
A change may. be all right some
times, but be sure that it's not a
change for the worse.

THE MEDICINE MAN

Franklin D. Roosevelt, advocate of
the League of Nations, while playing
a minor part as the Democrat candi-
date for Vice president in 1920, now
appears in the leading role of Chief
Medicine Man, peddling information
alism as a cure-all to the American
people.
Swinging about the country, exact
ly like the old time peddler of quack
medicines, Governor Roosevelt offers
mysterious panacea, new palm of
life, which he claims is cure for all
the economic ills of the American
farmer. Like the medicine man of
old, however, the Democratic candi-
date talks a great deal, but has moth
ing of any value to offer to those who
listen to him.
The Democratic medicine man
hides the fact that his preparation,
called international Tariffs" has
been analysed by experts and pro-
nounced as a nostrum which, if swal-
lowed, would bring ruination to those
taking it. Contrast this plea of the
Medicine Man with the statement of
a specialist. President Hoover says:
"The removal of or reduction of the
tariff on farm products means flood
of them into the United States. x y
There are at this minute 100000
cattle in the northern states of MeXi-
co seeking market. The price is
about $3.50 for 100 pounds on the
south bank of the Rio Grande. 1t is
$3.50 on the north bank-and only the
tariff wall between"
Governor Roosevelt, although pos
ing as a farmer, has no farm policy.
The record shows that, Mr.. Roose
welt has done nothing to help the
farmers of New York State. He OPP
posed the elimination of a State tax
of $13,5O0,00o, which largely falls on
farmers, but insisted on lowered in
come taxes, which benefits those who
are more fortunate: Since he has
been Governor of the State of New
York, the state budget has been in
creased to 1928, 14O, 894.91 as against
only $133, 159, 71O.24 under Governor
Nathan L. Miller in 1922.
The acid test exposes deliberate
fraud in the Roosevelt farm record.
This is the Commission Merchants
Bond Act that the Governor claims as
his own. This measure was introduced
in the New York State Legislature,
when Mr.. Roosevelt, as a State Sena-
tor, was Chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on Agriculture. For one year
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to report this
bill from his committee. Finally, upon
the demand of the farmers, he did let

NO MAN TOO HONEST

After serving ten years in the Min
nesOta legislature, Representative r.
r. Davis of Breckenridge, has decided
to quit and issued a rather lengthy
statement, giving his reasons for not
wanting to serve again in the legis-
lature. 1t is apparent that he has
become disguised with the manner in
which things are run at the state
house by the political party which
has been in power since Minnesota
became state. He complains of the
natural resources having been har d d
over to private interests in the past
and says there has been too much
legislation for the House of Have"
and too little is done for the House
of Have Not" He says that his fail
ure as a legislator lies in the fact
that no matter how hard he tried he
was not able to swerve the majority
of the legislature from the course of
serving the few rather than the many.
However, he has no regrets for what
he has said on the floor of the house
and would not change a vote if he

that Mr.. Davis has voted conscien-
tiously, and to leave the legislature
with a feeling like that is. worth
much. If more members could Say
that the result would be better legis-
latiOn. Mr.. Davis is an able speaker
well read, honest, conscientious, and
fearless, and it is to be regretted that
he does not care to remain in the
public service.
Commenting editorially on his de-
parture from politics The Gazette
Telegram of Breckenridge. says in
part: "As we have many times stated,
Ralph Davis was too honest a man for
politics"
While we do not disagree with The
Gazette-Telegram as to Mr.. Davis
honesty and all his good points, for
he possesses those and we admire the
man, but we do want to take issue
with the newspaper when it says that
any man is too honest for politics.
If there had been more honest men

our state would not have been batted
around like a baseball, and if there
were more honest men outside of the
legislative halls, there would not be
attempts to fool the public by hol-

FARM UNIT MEETS
ARE CONSTRUCTIVE

The regular monthly meeting of the
Pokegama Farm Bureau unit was
held at the North Star school house
May 18th. An interesting program
was given with the topic of gardening
and seed grains. The information on
How to raise Early Tomatoes" and
How to rid onions of maggots,' was
very much appreciated. The reading
of the monthly letter sent out by A.
G. Mereness of the state office, made
part of every meeting, is of much
interest.
In making up the program for the
June meeting, it was decided to hold
a caponizing demonstration at the
Leo Hartman home on a date set by
the county agent, Fred b. Willrett.
June 10th is the date chosen for this
demonstration. Mr.. Willrett will be
present all day and evening. The
forenoon will be spent testing soils,
in the afternoon the caponizing dem
Onstration will be held and the eve
ming will be taken up with the June
unit meeting at the school house.
Anyone living within a reasonable
distance of school District No. AZ may
have their soil tested on the above
date by notifying Mr.. Willrett. Also
all those interested are invited to at
tend the caponizing demonstration in
the afternoon. Bring a bird or two
with you if you wish, is the invitation.
The work is free, says Mrs. ]. H. Hol-
land, and the unit extends an invita-
ton to the public to attend any of
their meetings.
