Notwithstanding newspaper reports
to the contrary, the processing tax
should not make the price of sugar
to housewives any higher than it was
last February" says the AAA's Con
sumers' Guide" 1t might be little
higher than the price paid sometime
since February, because the price
shaded off somewhat i'm anticipation
of the cut in the tariff, but the in
crease should not be more than one
half cent nor more than the Feb
ruary price. On June s, the process
sing tax of half cent went on and the
tariff was cut by half cent. These
mutually balancing changes should
leave the price where it was last
February.
In politics it is quite a common
thing for the pot to call the kettle
black. But it is nevertheless a strange
Psychological phenomenon when re-
dictionary politicians and newspapers
accuse the present State Administra-
ton of "spOils SYSTEM" The "spoils
system" was always the cornerstone
on which the reactionary political
machine was built. Under the pres
ent administration all political parties
are fairly we'll represented in the per-

Administration to make appointments
from Farmer-LabOr ranks especially
i'm view of the fact that under for

service although they represented a
major political party. Here was the
operation of the ''spoils system" in its
most raw and most blatant form, in
violation of the principle of Amer
lean government and the proprieties
of good craftsmanship. For reaction
airy politicians accusing the Admin
istration of 'spOilS" is like a thief
calling a preacher a Goddess man.

Gopher Peavey" the annual publica-
tion of the Forestry club of the Uni
versity of Minnesota: Despite the
many difficulties and divergent opin-
ions which inevitably attend the adj
minisitration of a far-flung and far
reaching public activity, the conser-
walton of the states resources has
moved forward on all fronts and the
Conservation Commission is blazing
a trail which, if constructed and
maintained, will make Minnesota one
of the foremost states in the Union in
the successful administration of its
natural resources"
Questionnaires were sent out last

state securities commissioner. This
was in connection with the Banco
investigation now being conducted by
the State Commerce Commission. One
question in particular asks: Were
representations made as to the stock

Persons with savings have always
been the objective of financial sharp
shooters. Judging from what has al
