Declare Us In!

In a nifty political article by a
staff writer for the Star, I find
in last Saturdays edition the fol
lowing gem:
"Farmer-Laborites are by no
means through with their fight on
chain stores and there is proposed
a stronger anti-chain store plank
that the regulation secured at the
1888 legislature"
Good news, what! And what
a mouthful of truth! The lead
ers" of the Farmer-Labor party
are wishing the fight against the
chain stores wasn't in their laps.
They would much prefer to have
the rank and file forget the chain
store matter. They are well
aware of the fact that the Nc
Gaughrens and Rarigs, ct al,
haven't added anything to Farm
er-Labor chances of carrying
Hennepin County, and without
Hennepin County the "oily-gar-
cy's" chance of running away
with a full state ticket is slim,
indeed.
1t will require more than a
sharp wire from Governor Olson
to Kjorlaug to cool the wrath of
the Hennepin County Farmer
Laborites who still believe in the
principles of their party, even
though they have lost faith in
the principals"

stated that I believed a wider
sale of liquor would tend to elm

| stand for the legal way of do
ing things, and against the theory
Of shutting our official eyes to
those things we do not want to
see. We are going to have trou-
bic enough with our rising gen
Grafton, without impregnating its
members with the conviction that
Marcus A. Hanna was right
when he asked, whats the Con-
stitution among friends?" I want
to see the courts pass upon the
question I have raised. If liquor
is legal outside the patrol limits,
/ want to know it, and I'll be sat-
is6ed. If liquor cannot be sold
legally outside the limits, I want
to see our overly polite gentle
men in the City Council set back
on their heels. And that's all
there is to say on the subject.
Has any one of the interested
parties the nerve to start the
legal fireworks?

line, not an official soul has
raised the question of the con-
stitutionality of the liquor act.
My bet is that the courts will
throw out the law, and with it
every license that has been
granted in the prohibited area.
While I see no harm in the sale
of legal liquor anywhere, / reit-
crate my statement made in the
radio address: if the Legislature
can, at will. alter our City Char
ter with special law in one re-
spect, it can. at will, change it in

those who want to keep the legal
sale of liquor within the old
bounds.
/ have no apologies to make
for my expressed views. In fact,
| am inclined to 60 further than
did in the radio talk. I still
believe that a city wide sale of
liquor would remove the glamor
from its consumption, and would
reduce blind pigging. But l also
believe that the Legislature had
no authority, under the Consti-
tuition, to pass a law applying
only to Minneapolis, and to at
tempt to legalize the sale of
liquor outside the patrol limits.
And I also believe that voters Of
Minneapolis would refuse to wi
den the present limits.
I am producing herewith two
quotations from the State Con-
stitution, and two from the City
Charter of Minneapolis. There
can be no question, under the
Constitution, but that the Legis-
lature has the power to enact
general legislation could, for
instance, enact a statute repeal
ing all patrol limits in all cities
operating under charter, but it
may not attempt to amend or ex-
tend or modify existing local
laws. This was surely attempted
in the passage of the liquor bill
under which the City of Mime
apolis has issued licenses outside
the legal limits, and contrary to
the provisions of the City Char
ter. And, not to mince words, I
believe the lawyer members of
the Legislature knew their act
was illegal and unconstitutional,
and that the lawyer members of
the Minneapolis City Council
knew it when they approved Ii
censes outside the limits, and
know it now. And, all along the

In the last city campaign, Nc
Gaughren stated publicly that if
cambridge was elected he would
resign from the welfare board.
Although this statement added
couple of thousand votes to the
cambridge majority he failed to
keep his promise and shows no
present indication of doing So.
Four thousand Independent mer-,

Well, this is official, Mac. If

When the Federal Reserve
Act was passed it was hailed as
one of the greatest pieces of leg
islation ever enacted in Con-
gress. From then on we were to
have a permanent prosperity, un-
interrupted by such periodic de-
pressions as we had been expert
encing in the past. The bankers
had developed a perfect smoke
screen through which a confd-
ing public did not see. It was a
deep laid plot by the bankers to
gail, complete control of the ma
tons entire monetary and cred
it system, and the nations pres
ent financial status is ample
proof of how splendidly their
cunningly laid plan worked.
Let us look at a few figures:
On June 80, 1917, with the
Federal Reserve System in its
third wear, the Gold holdings of
the United States amounted to
$3,22O,241,826.
On this same date there were
Federal Reserve Notes outstand-
ing amounting to only $547,-
4O7, 900.
The Gold holdings were large
ly represented by Gold Coin and
Gold Certificates in actual cir
culation among the people, and
every Gold Certificate was
backed by 100 cents on the dol
lar with gold in the U. S. Treas
ury.
Now let us see how these
same items show up on Novem-
Der 80, 1888.
Instead of being in the United
States Treasury where it ought
to be, 1851, $4,000 in Gold
and Gold Certificates are now
held by the Federal Reserve
Banks and claimed as their legal
property.
The United States Treasury
has been practically stripped of
its gold, leaving only $41o, 50o,- l
600.
There are no Gold Coins orl
Gold Certificates left in circu-
lation. These were all called in
and turned over to the Federal
Reserve Banks.
The Gold coins and Gold GER
ti6cates (backed by 100 per cent
gold) have now been replaced
by $3,443,OOO,OOO in Federal
Reserve Notes and Federal Re-
serve Bank Notes. Printing
Press Money" with only 40 per
cent gold backing.
Now, if this Monetary and
Credit System is right, then we
must be all wrong in thinking
there is a Depression on.

STEEL INDUSTRY
RAISING WAGES
Notice Comes on Wednes=
day and Will Go Into
Effect April |

Pittsburgh, Mar. 27-(UP)- A
10 per cent wage increase affect
ing the entire steel industry was
forecast in well Informed quarters
today to be announced shortly.
No official announcement was
available this morning, but action
of the Corrigan-M Mckinney Steel
Company in cleveland in announc-
ing a wage increase strengthened
the reports.
Official announcements were
expected today and it was under
stood they would place the in
crease in effect on April J..
The United States Steel Corpora
tons finance committee is meeting
IN New York today, 1t was point
ed out, and the announcement
of that corporations increase may
follow the meeting.
The 4O-hour week adopted with
the MIRA steel code was not expec-
ted to be affected by the increased
ways.
The increased wages were re-
garded as the steel industry's an
swer not only to President Roose-
velt's request for higher wages and
shorter hours as a recovery aid
but to organized labor, whose en-
trance to the steel mills the In
dustry has long fought.
The automobile industry grant
ed similar increases last week
while conferences which resulted
in termination of strike threats
were progressing in Washington
That INCREASE was viewed as the in
dustl.y's bid for workers support
THE steel ihdustry's expected In
lcrease was regarded similarly.

E. Robert Stevenson, editor OF

one of the signers of the original
formal demand on the registrars OF
voters for the presentation of GER
tain registration, primary and to-

the Office of Republican Town

ing back and forth, when talked
with, Mr. Stevenson and Town
Chairman Conway up until early
this afternoon avoided giving a
statement as to the purpose OF
their get-together.
When first called Town Chair
man Conway stated that he had
only the 1882 primary lists on
hand and doubted if he had the
1888 g. o. p. lists. Asked if MI
Stevenson had been to see him
about the lists he said the editor
had not approached him on the
question but that he might be in
the outer office. Almost immedi-
ately Attorney Conway stated that
Mr. Stevenson was not in the wait
ing. room.
Had Visited Conway
Editor Stevenson, when called,
stated that he had personally WIS.,
tied Chairman Conway earlier in
the morning and expressed surprise
that Attorney Conway had not
made this plain. Asked if he had
called concerning the 1882 and
1888 primary lists, Editor Steven
son stated that he had not dis
cussed the question but had talked
to the republican town chairman
about other matters.
Mr. Stevenson then called ir
Harold Senior, the American re.
porter who has accompanied al,
most all the various groups to The
registrars office. Mr. Senior stated
that he had not visited the Office
of Town Chairman Conway.
Editor Stevenson stated that he
had visited Chairman Conway or
a different matter and referred the
Democrat reporter to the office OF
