Hitler Has, Relatives
in Spriingfield-Kato
Cousins Have Learned Of Their
Relationship to German
Chancellor s...

Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Ger
many, an outstanding figure in world
politics today probably doesn't know
that he has relatives living in south
ern Minnesota-cousins in Springfield
and Mankato.
Mrs. Joe. G. Weingartz, 808 Willow
street, Mankato, learned recently that
she is second cousin of Hitler while
the other cousins of the chancellor
are John B. Roger and Mrs. John
Meindl, both of Springfield.
According to a letter, received e.
Gently by Mrs. Weingartz from her
sister and mother, now an aged wo-
man, living in Germany, the grand
fathers of Mrs. Weingartz and Adolf
Hitler were brothers. Mrs. Vein
gartz' mothers name before she was
married was Hitler.
The elderly woman, when Hitler
first came into prominence, at once
claimed relationship to him and later
it was found her contention was
right. Because his father was a
school teacher and moved from place
to place, the lineage became separat-
ed from Mrs. Weingartz' forbear-
ers, who remained on a farm. Mrs.
Weingartz' father served two terms
as burgomaster of his village in Ba-
varia.
Other than commenting that she
believes Chancellor Hitler "means
WELL" Mrs. Weingartz has little to
say about her famous relatives.
eff man is right, I'm for him,
and if he's wrong, I'm against him,
even if he is my own relative" she
said.
The German people look upon Hit
Ter as the saviour Of Germany, Mrs.
Weingartz' mother and sister wrote.
They told her that this is the first
winter in many years when all the
people have had something to live on.
"My sister says that Hitler doesn't
want anyone to freeze or starve and
he's taking care Of all the people. No
other ruler ever did that before"
Mrs. Weingartz said of the letter
which she has sent to Springfield.
"She said all the German people love
him very much"
The letter informed the cousins
here that Hitler has brother who is
a Catholic priest and that a sister
keeps house for him. Hitler is not
married.

Legal. Printing Rate
Mandatory Under Code

After six months under the presi-
dents agreement, the graphic arts in
dustry's code, signed by the president
February II, went into effect today.
Although it governs only two firms in
Redwood Falls and nine or ten in the
county, it's terms are of Importance
to every buyer of printing and to
every taxpayer.
Besides specifying the working
hours of printers and minimum
wages, the code outlines trade prac-
tees and sets up penalties for viola
ton which it is believed will throttle
if not eliminate the cut rate sweat
shop printer who sends statesmen into
rural areas and offers bargain prices
for poor work on cheap stock.
Among the provisions Of the code
is one which requires that full legal
rates be charged for legal printing in
states where the legislature sets up
code of charges. Redwood county has
for several years obtained its county
printing for $1,000 which was once
considered about 80 per cent of the
cost at legal rates. With tax abate-
ments and longer poor lists, the
amount of printing has increased un-
til the old price of $1,000 is approx
matelv 60 per cent of legal rates, in
dicating the county will pay $500
to $4,000 for it's printing next year.
This year, due to change made by
the last legislature, the printing of
the financial statement is handled by
two papers at total cost of $4,000
for statement and proceedings.
The city of Redwood Falls paid full
legal rates for some years until last
year when the council succeeded in
getting a bid of rs per cent in view
of the extreme hard times of last
February. This year The Gazette's
bid of 80 per cent of legal rates was
tabled by. the council until a later
meeting. The Gazette is seeking in
formation from code authorities as to
whether it must submit new bid
now that the code is in force. Since
the MIA respected contracts between
employers and unions, it is likely that
the county contract will stand for
this year. The city only spends be-
tween $500 and $500 for printing per
year, so the expense is not large
item in its budget.
The code sets up three wage scales,
one for cities of more than $4,000
population, another for cities of from
10000 to $4,000 and third for cities
of under 10000. The wage scale
minimum for a compositor, for ex-
ample, in the large city class is 80
cents, in the middle class 60 cents
and in the smaller towns, 48 cents.
This gives the small town shop ample
chance to compete with the big city
shop, despite it's advantage of hand
ling larger volume of work.

u S. WILL CONDUCT
FINANCE STUDY OF
MINNESOTA ROADS

Arrangements have been completed
for federal financial survey of
state, county, township and municipal
roads throughout Minnesota by the
United States bureau Of public roads,
N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, has announced.
The study will be directed by Hen
ry R. Trumbower, professor of econ
omics at the University of Wisconsin
and economist for the bureau of
roads. H. R. Briggs, statist:cian Cor
the bureau will be in direct charge of
the work which wi start at once.
Primary aims of the survey are:
l. To analyze all highway expendi-
ture and revenues of the state, of the
counties and of townships and NUM-
cipalities.
2. To show the total revenues rails
ed for other governmental purposes
by the state, the counties and other
governmental units in comparison
with revenues raised for highways,
bridges and streets.
3. To show the effect of highway
ard related taxes on property of all
kinds.
The survey will also show the cost
per mile of maintaining and improv-
ing the various classes of roads under
jurisdiction of different governmental
units. Comparisons will be made
with other states, for the U. S. bur-
eau of roads has made similar studies
in Wisconsin, Michigan and else
where.
The highway department and the
bureau of roads, Mr.. Elsberg said,
also expect to conduct traffic CEN
sus which will show the origin and
destination of traffic on the high
ways, as well as the volume of traf-
fc.
Facts developed by these studies,"
Mr.. Elsberg said, Should be of great
value to the state in solving prob
lens of highway development and
highway taxation. The results of
the survey will be made available to
the Citizens Interim Highway COM
mittee recently named by Governor
Olson"
This committee is to make study
of Minnesota highway problems and
report to the next legislature.
