The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1933-11-16

The decision to leave the closing Of Redwood Falls
markets up to the farmers who market here is the
most equitable solution to the problem raised by the
farm strike It is compromise between strikers who
feel they should be closed regardless of the attitude
of farmers in the area tributary to markets and
the produce who believe selling is individual
problem and that the markets should always be open
to those who do not agree with the strike program.
If we have sensed the attitude of the majority of
Redwood county farmers correctly, the farm strike
movement here has been received with little enthus
iasm from the first and frank opposition has arisen
since mob violence occurred at Marshall. Violence is
not method of obtaining end which appeals to the
majority of us here where riots and lynchings are
unknown. Coercion fails where persuasion might have
gained support
Another sure way to kill good intentioned
en such the present strike is to allow the ntru
sion Of politics in the persons of gentlemen anxious
to build personal prestige in the hope Of becoming
a senator instead Of congressman governor in
stead of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Invariably they be-
cloud the issue with attacks anything and every
thing. Taxpayers recall that politicians salaries do
not depend on supply and demand.
But the most puzzlng thing of all is that opposi-
ton to the presidents program arises principally in
places, wall street and the rural sections Surely
no stranger bedfellows were known. One con-

1t is not likely that the governor and his lieuten-
ant-governor any closer together result. Mr.
Soiberg has had leading role in encouraging such
scenes as occurred Marshall. The governor hardly
finished passing that event off ocal disturbance
when trouble of similar sort turned up at Austin
where he assisted in a compromise.
In fairness to the governor it must be said that
both crises passed without loss of ife which per-
haps justfes drawing room methods. The request OF
peace officers that the issue statement con-
demnng violence not out of place, however, and
such statement would have quoted many ugly stories.
ERHAPS we were overly optimistic but ex-
r pected better advice from the conference called
by the governor to consider liquor control laws
than that offered by the commission.
In one breath it entirely eliminates saloons and
in the allows sales at restaurants, hotels and
clubs. In many places the restaurants, hotels and

earlier generation called saloon"
While the return of beer comparatively quiet
and orderly put many booeggers out Of business,
it does follow that hard liquors be handled as
freely with any degrees of temperance. It is Amer-
can however, to go from extreme to another.
