c. E. COBLEIGH-'I don't believe
in parts Of the bill because l don't
favor cutting production. Figures
show that there is no over production
but that there is under consumption.
We will have to work as hard but
show less for it. feel, however, that
Wallace is a good man and would do
something beneficial for the middle
west if given the proper power. I
think the Besher plan would be a good
thing"
A. H. LAIR-"I generally don't be-
lieve in a dictatorship, but I do favor
taking the power from congress and
giving it to Wallace. Congress has
been talking for several years but has
done nothing yet and I believe one
man like Wallace ecan get further.
l do not favor leasing marginal
lands"
D. M. TIFFANY-"I favor giving
Wallace the proper power as he is
from the heart of the farming section
and can tell what is best for US. What
we really need is higher farm prices
or lower debt rates. It's cinch that
conditions can hardly get worse and
the experiment might prove bene-
fetal to farm prices"
JACK SEXTON-"It is an expert
ment but one which I would be glad
to see tried. l have great deal Of
faith in Wallace and with the needed
power, I feel that he will come
through with results. I think that
the Besher plan could be worked into
the Roosevelt bill satisfactorily"

BUD -"We're all for it.
Roosevelt has called in about SO men
from the farm belt, men with brains
and has their view points. One OF
the strongest features of it, besides
giving more power to Wallace I think,
is that Roosevelt said he would be
the first man to admit its failure if
it fell through. I favor the Besher
plan and would like to see it worked
into the present bill"
BERT WIGGINS-"I favor any
plan which will help the farmer and
l believe some parts of the Roosevelt
plan will do a great deal of good. If
the power is taken from the hands of
many and put into the hands of one,
1 think progress will be made. Mr..
Wallace's grandfather and father
were great men and 1 think the pres
ent SECRETARY of agriculture is also
capable.
C. d. CLIPFELL-"I favor a die

also favor the Besher plan.

the plan-every bit of it.. Those men

RURAL TELEPHONE
SUBSCRIBERS GET
REBATE INCREASE

Subscribers of the Redwood Coun-
ty Rural Telephone company will re-
ceive an additional rebate Of rs cents
per telephone per month if bills are
paid promptly, it was decided at the
annual meeting of stockholders last
week.
The order will become elective April
l for period of one year. 1t states:
For each rural telephone when the

three months in advance, an ;ncreas-
ed discount of Is cents per telephone
per month shall be allowed making
the full rebate allowed when so paid
for each telephone per month the sum
of SO cents or a rebate of $1.50 on
quarterly rural statements.
For each town residence telephone
when the rental therefore shall be
paid by the fifteenth of the month
the bill is rendered, an additional
discount of Is cents shall be allowed
on single party residence telephones
SO that the full discount allowed when
so paid shallbe SO cents per month.
The report Of Bert Kleaver, man.
ager, showed that under the head of
operating revenue, the company had
received $28,875.19. This is the total
of all income items such as: rent
from exchange property, installation
and removal revenue, toll revenues
occurring on company's lines, commits
sion from switching and toll. Com

CLPFELL ENDORSES
OPTIONAL TAX BILL
Big Reduction in Rates Here
Seen if Bill is Passed
by Legislature

The optional sales tax for school
purposes which is being considered by
the state legislature, has an ardent
hacker in C. D. Clipfell, county super
intendent of schools.
The bill would take one cent from
the present gas tax, Is per cent of
game and fish license fees and place
sales tax on tobaccos and theatre
tickets for the benefit Of school dis
trict treasures.
Figures compiled by supporters
in Minneapolis and st. Paul show that
approximately $50 would be paid
back for each pupil in each school
district.
Mr.. Clipfell stated that the Red
wood Falls schools with approximate
ly 700 students would receive $35, 900.
j. II. Wichman, superintendent,
stated that according to his figures
the tax rate for school purposes would
drop from 80 to approximately Is
mills if the optional sales tax was in
effect.
The average operating expense Of
a rural school. Mr.. Clipfell pointed
out, is between $1,000 and $1,000 and
if the school had Is pupils, $3.50 would
be paid back into the school under
the optional plan besides aid schools
are now receiving from the state.
5 Minneapolis sponsors Of the plan
made . survey recently Of the public's
reaction to the plan and declared it
altogether favorable.

Star Route DriUer Fools HoLd-Up
Men BY Taking Detour to Marshall

Because men who exc out a living
by selling pencils and shoe strings do
not travel in luxurious jsedans, Will
liam H. Gronholz, mail carrier on the
star route between Sleepy Eye and
Marshall, became suspicious and by
careful maneuvering believes he
avoided holdup.
He was on the return trip to Mar
shall and had stopped at the postof-
flee in Vesta to deliver and take on
mail, when he noticed three men in a
large Chrysler sedan, parked near the
office. As he opened the rear door
of his truck to take out the mail
sacks, one of the trio approached and
asked him to buy some pencils or
shoestrings, meanwhile looking in
tently inside the truck.
When he arrived at Lucan the same
car was parked near the postoffice.
The car left before the mail truck and
when the truck came to the postoffice
in Milroy, the sedan was there.
BY this time Gronholz was decidedly
suspicious. However, he left Milroy
without protection other than the re-
volver he always carries. Just ont
of Milroy, on the paved road to Mar
shall, he spotted the blue sedan,
evidently waiting for him. Positive
that he was about to be held up, he
turned around and went to Marsh 81
in . roundabout way without seeing
any more Of the suspicious car.

Highlights From
Legislative Fronts

President Roosevelt made his sixth
direct request of congress in three
weeks Wednesday, when he asked
federal supervision of investment
securities to stop unethical practices
and safeguard investors. Of five 9TH
er proposals of the president, the
banking bill, the beer bill and the
economy measure have been enacted
into law. The farm bill has passed
the house and is said to be certain
to come through the senate with only
minor changes and the bill to put
250,000 men to work on reforestra-
ton projects was ready for the presi-
dents signature late Wednesday.
-
John A. Simpson, president of the
Farmers Union, appeared before the,
senate committee on agriculture last
week and demanded that farmers re-
ceive cost of production for their pro-
ducts instead of the pre-war prices as
provided for in the Roosevelt bill.
Dozens of persons in Redwood coun-
ty are affected by the Is per cent fed
eral pay cut ordered by Roosevelt af-
ter authorization by congress. The
order is effective until June 80 and
does away with the eight and one
third per cent furlough plan of the
Hoover administration.
Governor Olson and Farmer-Labor
members of congress were attacked
Wednesday noon in the first of a SER
les of radio talks on the new DEAL"
to be given by state Democrats. John
Regain, candidate for governor last
fall, advised Olson to demonstrate
his ability to handle the legislature
before offering advice to the presi-
dent and declared that Farmer-Lab-
orite congressman have become OBJ
structionists although they campaign
ed by attacking the Republican party
and gave the impression that they
would help with the new DEAL"
Minnesota's machinery for licens-
ing beer has been set up after many
days of arguing, amending and vot-
ing. The vets won the greater share
of the victories although as the stat
utes now stand only beer of 3.2 per
cent alcohol can be legally sold in the
state, even if prohibition statutes are
repealed. The legislature then took
up the question of voting on repeal
with the fight likely to center on
whether we elect delegates to a con.
vention at large, as the vets wish, OF
by senatorial districts as the drys pre-
fer.

ties, from his important position as

mittee were current in st. Paul early

the members.
Only three weeks of the state legis-
lative season remain-but scores of
important measures also linger on.
