Banker Farm Home
Damaged by Fire
Redwood Department Called to
Quell Flames Late
Wednesday

The farm home of Horace Banker
four miles south of Redwood Falls
was damaged by flames late Wednes-
day afternoon when fire broke out in
a hallway while the family was in
Redwood Falls and spread to the up
stairs rooms before it was noticed
Large holes burned in the ceiling and
floor before the fire department quel-
led the blaze.
The family came to Redwood Falls
shortly before 1 p. m. and attended
the funeral of DR.. C. P. Gibson. They
returned before p. m. and noticed
smoke coming from the house.
Mr.. Banker dashed in and called
the fire department. While the de-
partment was on it's way, he check
ed the advance of the flames with
water from the cistern pump in the
kitchen. He carried much of the fur
nishings outside.
Joseph M. Corbett, chief, stated
that the fire evidently started in the
clothing on the hall rack and when it
i, fell to the floor, the flames spread
rapidly. The loss is covered by in
surance.

Plan Favored by Lower House
of Congress; Will Meet
Senate Opposition
PROVIDES BROAD POWERS
Farmers Generally Favorable
to Experiment Toward
Raising Prices

AlCHOugn looked upon DIS SOHeIHlIlS
of an experiment here as well as in
Washington, Redwood county farmers
are generally in favor of the Roose-
welt farm bill which passed the house
Wednesday by vote Of 315 to SO and
probably will go before the senate
later this week.
There is also much interest in the
presidents proposals for reducing
farm and home mortgage interest
rates. A program to this end will be
presented to congress soon.
Some criticism has been heard but
the majority feel that the proposal is
a drastic step toward restoring farm
prosperity and that it should have full
support and cooperation in the hope
that it will be a step in the right
direction. Most Of the opposition comes
from millers and packers who have
prospered in spite of low prices and
from eastern consumers who fail to
see that restoring the farm market
will put factories to humming again.
The plan was drawn March 10 and
II, at farm conference called by
Henry Wallace, secretary Of agricul-
ture. President Roosevelt and the
farm organizations would have con-
gress give Secretary Wallace authori-
ty to influence farm prices and farm
production and the emergency agri-
cultural bill granting this authority
was presented to committees of the
house and senate March 17.E
The bill has two main objectives:
first, to increase the price Of farm
commodities so that the purchasing
power of agriculture will be on the
pre-war basis of 1909-1914; and sec
ond, to control surpluses. In attain
ing these objectives, the president,
through the secretary of agriculture,
is given broad powers: (1) to put all
professors and distributing agencies,
including when necessary commodity
exchanges, under license provisions
so that the rules and regulations OF
the secretary must be obeyed; (2) to
arrange marketing agreements with
marketing agencies, cooperative and
old-line, with professors of farm COM
modities and with producers them
selves; (3) to arrange for production
agreements in the way of limiting
output with producers; (4) to enter
into acreage rental contracts with pro-
ducers so as to withdraw from pro-
duction portions of acreage now rais-
ing staple farm crops; (5) to impose
and collect charges or taxes on the
main agricultural commodities, to be
collected at the point of processing
and to have as their objective the
lifting of farm prices up to or toward
the price level prevailing 1909-1914.
The bill specifically applies to
wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, cattle,
sheep, rice, tobacco, milk and it's pro-
ducts. Other language in the bill
gives the secretary power to apply
some of the provisions and the taxes
authorized in the bill to other commo-
dities if by competition or by shifting
of competitive factors, other crops
than those named, assume Importance.
It is expected that the bill, being in
broad, general terms, will be easier
to adapt to the commodities named
and to varying conditions by rules
and regulations to be issued by the
secretary, than if all procedures were
to be set out in the law itself.

Highlights From
Legislative Fronts

The presidents plan to put 250,00O
men to work on reforestration pro-
jects is opposed by labor leaders who
believe $50 per month with food and
housing is too meager pay and that
the plan smacks of militarism.
& **
After announcing that farm board
losses will approximate $50 millions,
the new board chief, Henry Morgan
thau Jr., stated that there will be no
more fancy salaries and that loans to
farm organizations will be cut.
Frances Perkins, new secretary of
labor, will slash the payroll and
other expenses of the department, she
has announced.
The state senate has approved re-
turn of beer by Sc to vote. The
house is expected to act on the meas
ure before the bill legalizing beer
passed by congress becomes a law
April Z.
10000 members of the Farmers
Union appeared at the state capital
Wednesday demanding a moratorium
on tax penalties and delinquencies
income, chain store and oleo margarir
taxes, state ownership of power
plants, big cut in auto license fees
and an increase in gross earnings tax
es.

Auto license taxes were still an un-
known quantity Wednesday when the

NOT FIGHTING R.
ZWIENER SAYS AT
TRECOUNTY RALLY
Washington Delegation Finding
Out Meaning of Economy
Bill at Capitol
LOHMANN NOT PRESENT
always Will Work for Good of
Our Country" Zweiner
Tells Assembly

Denying reports of the metropoli-
tan press that American Legion men,
bers went to Washington to fight
economy legislation pushed through
the house and senate at the command
of President Roosevelt, C. A. "Chick"
Zwiener, state adjutant, declared "the
Legion always has and always will
work for the best interest of the
country" at tri-county rally here
Thursday night.
"Our organization fought for the
benefit of America in 1918 and now,
Is years later, no newspaper or per-
iod;cal can truthfully say that we are
fighting against the country"
Referring to the Washington trip
of Stafford King, state auditor,
Lewis Lohmann, state commander and
Pat Cliff, national committeeman,
Mr.. Zwiener said, "These men went
to Washington to find out about the
bill; to study it and relay informa-
tion back to us-not to fight it as we
have been accused of doing.
"None of US is in position to
interpret the meaning of the bill as
yet because of its newness; we have
to study the source of legislation and
that is what Legion representatives
are doing"
Mr.. Zwiener was speaking for Mr..
Lohmann, one of the Washington de-
legates who was scheduled to speak
at a rally of members from Brown,
Cottonwood and Redwood counties at
the Legion hall here. He was one of
the many district or state represent
atives who addressed the large group.
He touched on disability cases in
Redwood county and said if the bill
became law (as it has since) the
burden of keeping" these veterans
would be shifted directly onto the real
estate taxpayer. There are ten men
in Redwood Falls, he said, who are re-
ceiving direct service compensation
amounting to $5,791.SO yearly, IL men
receiving $2,812 for non-direct service
compensation year and 5000 was
spent for medical service or total
of $8,9I2.SO yearly in Redwood Falls
through compensation. He said that
the figures were compiled by the Vet
eran's Bureau which is preparing a
report to show legislators.
"a man who has done the moment
Gus things President Roosevelt has
done, man with his intelligence and
man of his calibre, in my opinion,
will not do away with soldiers relief
with one sweep of the pen."
John Roberts, district commander
from Worthington, discussed the orr
gin of the Legion in France and re-
viewed the first meeting and writing
of the preamble in Paris. He also
discussed the aim and work of the or
ganization.
Mrs. Emil Kraft, president of Sec
ond district Legion Auxiliary, also of
Worthington, commended highly the
Redwood Auxiliary unit for its work
on the Amer; canization program and
urged keeping up the membership.

of the Auxiliary, also complimented

ed States Commissioner and re- ported the shooting to him.
 Rifle Is Introduced
 A 3O-Government calibre rifle with which the shooting is said to have been done was identified by McIver and introduced in evil dence by the Government. McIvsr said the gun belonged on his boat and was hanging on the wall. De- Groot had apparently grabbed it from it's place and shot Hanson with it.
 The defense contends, MT Faulk- ner said in his opening statement, that Hanson was standing on the companionway to the forecastle after DeGroot's wife and McIver left it and whsn DeGroot started to go out to tell his wife goodbye, Hanson said: You'll never leave this cabin alive Its theory is that Hanson forgot he didn't have his revolver with him, and that DsGroot thought he was still armed; that Hanson made a mo- ton as if to draw the gun and DaGroot grabbed the rifle off the wall and shot him.
 Take Three Days
 Both MT. Grigsby and MT. F'olta estimated it will require three days to complete the case. Judge Al exander excused the remainder of the panel until Friday when it is expected some civil case will be tried, holding the Paul Johnson Albert Matthews murder case un- til next week.
 The jury impaneled in the De- Groot case is composed of Mrs. Jett H. Gray, A. L. Schow, Jack son Rice, G. A. Schumaker, George E. Nelson, Mrs. John Olson, Allen Shattuck, Mrs. Alex Kiloh, Mrs. J. w. Bayne, Miss Ester Els worth, Joe Parent and James Mo CloSkey.
