On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Inc lHlpll6u accusation
against the range communities
in regard to coercion of the
voter is a considerable slap at
the balloting honesty of the
range towns. But, let us say
right here that this accusation
was not the discovery of the
FL. party who are only echo
ing hulabaloos of a similar
nature during the early days
of the range towns. In fact,
Ely and Tower were accused
of tampering with the voter
long before the Mesaba range
towns came into being. Not one
of the charges made against
the Republican party was SUBJ
stantiated although Democratic
party chiefs figured as chal-
lengers at every election.
1t was not an uncommon
sight to have one of these at
each election booth on the Ver-
million range where the mining
companies had been accused of
voting their men en-bloc. These
accusations were hurled out of
our, at that time, paternal
Duluth, and and an array of
noted Democratic attorneys
were dispatched to the voting
booths to see that the mining
companies did not slip over
something. The Australian ball
lot system was put into power,
but the higher-ups of political
porties were not satisfied.
Now comes the Farmer
Labor party and resurrects the
old cry. To make honest
voters, neither coerced or in
Inundated, the party evolved
yet another system of voting
and the primary ballot this
year will be a blanket affair
somewhat the size of a news
paper. Before even there is a
chance to try out the new
system, fear is expressed that
the thing will not work and
that thousands of ballots will
be spoiled. Of course, there
is no concern as to how many
Republican or Democratic bal
lots are spoiled but there is fear
that the FL. party will lose
votes. We have seen many an
election in our forty-two years
of residence on the ranges and
can truthfully say that the ac-
cusations made are goofy to the
extreme.

civic pride in local candidate should

AS can be seen by a re-
published story from Washing
ton in the Minneapolis Journal
appearing in another column,
the old scrap of National
Forests VS.. National Parks is
still on and going good. At
the time of the passage of the
Shipstead-Nolan bill, this SUBJ
ject was discussed from every
angle. According to our idea,
it was settled at that time that
a National Park with its strict
inhibitions against mining, tim
Der cutting and personal recre-
ational development was not
exactly what was needed and
that the National Forest under
its program of selective timber
cutting, leases for recreational
plots and leases for mineral
prospects filled the bill very
nicely.
The conclusions arrived at
during the hectic years of dis
cussion were in favor of the
Forest plan. The Shipstead-
Nolan bill was passed to curb
the power dam proposition of
E. w. Backus and to enhance
the recreational possibilities of
the Superior National Forest.
We were under the impression
at the time that this affair had
been satisfactorily disposed of
to all concerned, excepting E.
w. Backus. Now the contro-
versy starts all over again and
it seems not among the people
living near the Superior but by
taking the matter direct to
Washington.
The writer in the Journal
states that from the appear
ances of things the Interna-
tional Joint Commission will
rule against the Backus dam
proposition which has caused
the commission untold hours of
study and many meetings be-

NO MEALS FOR
 THE PRISONERS

(Continued from Page l.) said the first intimation of new trouble was when kitchen crew of 35 refused to prepare lunch yesterday.
 Would Cut Throats
 "Ringlcaders of the mutiny threatened to cut their throats if they prepared the meal Dr Hol- combe said.
 Guards prepared the meal and the main bocy or convlcts march, ed into the hall. Cups were pound- ed on tables and the men shouted and cursed.
 In small groups, the guards es- corted prisoners back to their cells. Only 400 of the 1,700 con. victs ate their meal. The work crews in the laundry, power house, kitchens, and workshops refused to leave their cells.
 All leave for guards was can. celled. Additional state troopers were brought inside.
 At dinner time, no food was prepared. The convicts went to bed hungry.
 Guards Do The Work
 Guards were sent to the power house to keep the boilers going.
 All during the night convicts hammered cooking utensils on cell bars. shouting and jeering. There was no general destruc- tion, such as in Saturdays riots when mattresses were torn up. and lighting and plumbing fixtures torn from the walls.
 The board of trustees, after a special meeting, ordered Captain Herbert (Hard Boiled) Smith to take whatever means are essen- tial to maintain order at the in- stitution." Heretofore the orders were to prevent bloodshed at any cost.
 We are through kidding, pr Holcombe announced. The boards decision meant that machine guns, pistols and riot clubs used heretofore as threats would be put into actual play in the event of further riots. The board questioned 127 pri- soners who participated In Satur- days riots and the Sunday disi- turbances.

 Dyess. Ark. (UP).-The gov ernment is building Utopian state" hero in which destitute smc,l-acreage farmers will seek in dependence under the New Deal.
 On 15.000 acres of rich bottom land in this Northeastern Arkansas country the federal emergency re- lief administration will give 500 share-croppers and small-acreage farmers on relief rolls chance to provide for themselves.
 With each 20. 30 and 40-acre farm reclaimed from the cut-over oak and cypress forest will so new house built from lumber milled out of trees cleared for the tracts, new equipment, mules, COWS and chickens all furnished by the Arkansas R r a l Rehabilitation Corporation through the EZRA.
 The rehabilitatio colony, said to be the only one of its kind in the world, is part of the govern ments answer of what to do with its ever increasing relief rolls. Il is a $l,000.000 venture in helping the small, dependent farmers help themselves.
 The government bought the land from the state at $2.50 an acre. Estimates are that it will spend $50 or more an acre in community Improvements. But. the families selected for the colony may pay much less than the actual cost of development.

chairman of the special strike com mittce of the United Textile Work CTS by Lloyd Garrison, board chairman,
 Garrison invited them to a round table tomorrow or Thursday to consider "the issues and explore the possibilities of arriving at some settlement"
 While German awaited receipt of a formal copy of the invitation be- fore replying. an associate said he was ready to meet with garrison lat any time and any place." It was thought Slonn's attitude would be equally friendly.
 Peace Move OppOrtunc
 The peace move came in a heav- fly charged atmosphere. Strike plans were virtually complete. Union leaders charged Alabama mills were mounting machine guns and stocking arms and tear gas bombs in preparation for bloody combat.
 Despite tenseness and the fact the strike will start Saturday at the latest in 1,5OO to 5000 mills from Maine to Alabama, Garrison's statement expressed optimism that a way might be found to halt it.
 Garrison urged the need of haste. He suggested a meeting to- morrow at ? p. m.. or Thursday at 2 D. m. If the Wednesday date would not give time to assemble the representative mill owners.
 You will appreciate" he said. "that we have no desire by this ac- ton to do more than bring together a representative group of employers and the cotton textile board and the members of the union commit tee in the hope that beginning may be made toward the settlement of the strike."
 Though calling of the confer ence would be construed as a step toward peace, attitude of both sides indicated firmness on their original stand.
 Sloan Acts Defiant
 A letter by Sloan was made pub lie in New York calling on the Cotton Textile Code Authority to stand firm against attempted law making by strike or threatened strke."
 Meanwhile German was declar:. ing here that there is a group Of operators who are blocking any settlement. The only way to force them to terms is by closing down the industry"
 Germans committee expects to announce by Friday the exact hour when organized labor will seek to close every textile mill in the country.
 With food promised conditional ly by the government, German said the unions would strike peacefully. although his operatives had re. ported installation of guns and tear gas bombs in Alabama cotton mills.
 The strike committee, which has conferred almost every day and night for a week. will meet the en- tire executive council of the tex tile workers here tomorrow for their final rally. They will con- sider problems within the cotton. woolen, worsted. silk and rayon in- dustries in the hope that workers
