Paul Gold, formerly of Redwood
Falls, received scalp wounds Tuesday
while serving as volunteer special
police in the encounter between the
deputies and truck driver-strikers in
downtown Minneapolis. He was taken
to General hospital.
Gold and Roger Dolliff, son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. C. Dolliff of Redwood
Falls, both volunteered but Dolliff
was not called out. Gold was among
the deputies assigned to the market
and went on duty at a. m. Tuesday.
Much of the rioting took place in the
market district.
Meanwhile merchants and others in
the smaller cities served from Min
neapolis wholesale houses have felt
the effect Of the tieup. Redwood
Falls had fruit and vegetable short
age for several days but has been
served recently from smaller whole
sale houses at Marshall, Willmar and
other nearby cities.
Leroy Woodford, Redwood Falls
trucker, was stopped three times in
one trip through Minneapolis last
week. :
He went into South St. Paul with
a load of stock and was to bring
back load of automobile parts. He
was going towards Lake street on
Hennepin avenue when he was first
halted.
The crowd did not try any violence,
he said, but talked rough and he was
told he would have to get a pass from
the strike headquarters before he
could get through. He got the pass
and was forced to stop and show it
twice before getting out of the city.
Freight shipments from Minneapo-
is have practically stopped, accord
ing to officials at the M. and St. l..
depot in North Redwood. Reports
from the Redwood Falls depot on the
C and NV are that freight shipments
from st. Paul have increased, more
than offsetting the loss in Minneapo-
lis freight. Theatre film trucks were
stopped and pictures are now COM
ing by train.

THE PUBLIC'S BUSINESS

A LITTLE interchange Of remarks between
L n questioner and witness at the senate
munitions investigation hearing the other day
underlined an aspect Of the situation which
we should keep constantly in mind
The witness was objecting to having pri-
vate papers and private conversations touch
ing on the munitions business spread on the
record Senator Homer T. Bone Of Wash
ington then pointed out:
mo business that affects the welfare Of the
world can be said to be private"
And that is precisely the point. This in
vestigation should go forward to the very end
no matter who is disturbed or displeased by
its revelations. The munitions business has
such direct and profound effect on the lives
and fortunes Of innocent bystanders that it
can not be protected by the reticences which
might apply to ordinary businesses.

and reduce taxes. I wonder how
many got lower taxes?
AS for Mr.. Roosevelt sitting in
front of a cheerful fire while he
worked out his relief plan, I have
never heard of President Roosevelt
making himself uncomfortable.
What have the Democrats done
for us? I'll tell you.
The NRA lowered more wages
than it raised; it is the direct cause
Of more strikes than any other adj
ministration ever has known. It
has raised the price of living, cloth
ing and the number Of persons liv-
ing off the county. 1t has put many
small business men out of business.
The Democrats scheme of reStor-
ing prosperity by cutting down pro-
duction, shows how little they know.
They are trying to give the hungry
bread by destroying wheat. They
spend millions of dollars to irrigate
and fight crop pests and then hire
persons to violate the laws Of ma
ture by destroying what God has
given US.
We will only be s35 ,0O0, 900 900 in
debt, but they will tax the consum-
er so We'll soon be out of the de-
preston, and as they will never be
in Office again the coming genera
ton and the Republicans can worry
about the debt.

GENERAL JOHNSON GOES

GENERAL JOHNSON is out. 1t is better so.
The NRA recently has been going to
pieces. Reorganization is needed and new
blood Another type Of leadership is required.
One with less bombast and more persuasion.
One less facile and better grounded in eco
Monies One less partisan and more poised.
But the general should not go out Of Office
With the idea that he is a failure. 1t is a case
Of one Job having been done and another now
needing to be done. The same qualities which
fitted him so admirably for the first job make
him unfit for the second.
He put over the NRA. If there is any one
who could have done that better than Hugh
Johnson nobody could find him. It was
thankless task. He was on the spot. He shaved.
He stood between the President and the critics.
and took the brickbats. And he did it with a
courage. loyalty and unselfishness which rank
him as an outstanding public servant.
II he outstayed his usefulness, it was as
much the Presidents fault as his own-or per-
hsps it was the fault OF the situation. There
are not enough able men to go around in
Washington
We do not share the opinion of his critics
who think that NRA problems viii more or less
solve themselves now that ne is out. Many Of
those problems are inherent in the effort to
change a cut-throat business system into CO.
operative one Of capital-labor- government
partnership Some of these problems have
been increased by the lack of definite direction
In handling them. But General Johnson's re-
cent indecision in part has reflected a certain

CORNERED WOLVES

IF you can believe John Landesco. famous
Chicago criminologist, we are apt to get
a very bad outbreak of crimes of violence, such
as bank robberies and large-scale holdups, in
the near future. Oddly enough, this will come
because the underworld is at last definitely
on the run.
The booze racket. as steady source Of
revenue for gangsters. is fading. The under
world has at last been convinced that kid
naping is too risky. The whole business of
crime is suffering a severe depression. Gangs
are breaking up. dissolving. losing their money
and their power.
And it is right at such. a moment, says Mr..
Landesco, that gangs are most dangerous.
Being desperate. they will try almost anything.
Consequently, this crininologist believes we
shall have a new "crime wave" shortly-a
crime wave which, paradoxically, will testify
to the efficacy of our drive to break up Or
gained crime.

NOT ENOUGH FIGURES

TN its efforts to improve its information serv-
ices the federal government should not over
look the statistical chaos that long has plagued
all in search of economic facts There is a
lack of teamwork among government agencies.
The bureau of labor statistics issues its re-
port on the retail cost Of food with 1913 as an
index base. The same bureau uses 1926 as a
base for its wholesale price reports. Except the
department of agriculture, practically all gov
eminent and private services use a postwar
base. The commerce department bases its
business trends reports on the years $685.
as does the federal reserve in its production
reports The private national industrial con-
ference board uses 1923.
DR.. Lubin, labor department statistician, ex-
plains that he clings to the pre-war index to
conform to the agricultural adjustment admin
istration's reports on farm income. The AAA,
desiring to pull farm income back to 19O9-14
parity" apparently will not adopt the gen.
eral postwar index.
DR.. Lubin and other experts have improved
the federal statistical services. But the figures
are still inadequate. For an administration
and nation trying to steer course away from
the rocks of depression it is short-sighted to
rely on anything less than reliable charts.

friends don't seem to realize that
the issues of 1861 are dead.
They seem to forget that the
Negro Of 1861 was an untutored
slave who could not decipher his
own name, whereas the Negro of to-
day represents the highest in cul-
ture and the highest in civilization.
Believe it or not, the Negro has
changed himself from an untutored
slave to one of the most intellectual
Of men and of races; he is able to
match his culture with the culture
of any other race.
You can not very well educate a
man and continue to underestimate
his intelligence. What the Negro
was satisfied with eighty or sixty
years ago does not satisfy him now.
The Negro is looking forward to the
highest things, looking forward to
the highest goal. What is good for
others is also good for him, but the
straw that breaks the camel's back
is the Republican orator who dares
to give the Negro lecture on the
Constitution of the United States.
Observant Negroes are asking,
why are Republicans working
themselves into a frenzy about the
Constitution? Is it because the
sacred document has been woefully
neglected during the Harding Cool
idge-Hoover administrations, or Is it
because a Democratic President is
successfully applying the constitu-
tional ideal, Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none?'"

POLITICAL PANHANDLING

POLITICIANS are up to their old tricks
Il again. George B. Hills. Florida Democ-
racy's director of finance, has written to fed
eral employees from Florida suggesting" they
contribute 1.-THE OF their salaries to meet the
states quota" of the party debt.
Mr.. Hills did not use a pistol. He only
wrote: L trust you will see fit to cooperate
in this matter"
This gentle ultimatum lost some of its
threat when Secretary Wallace, whose agri-
culture department employees had been solicit
ed. notified them that the civil service law pro-
tects them from such pressure and that any
contributions would be voluntary.
A single foray like this one would not be
so disquieting if it we're an isolated incident
But it seems to be part of a running campaign
by the party spoilsmen. Their patronage raids
are directed against both regular and emer-
gency services of the government.
President Roosevelt should stop their po
Htical panhandling. Most of his important
aids have been selected with an eye to expert
ness rather than party regularity. Members
of his Official family. such as Secretaries Wal
lace, Ickes, Morgenthau and Perkins. and
Relief Administrator Hopkins. have tried to
fight of the spoilSmen. The record shows they
are not strong enough to make this fight with
out more effective White House support.
OF course, partiSanship can not wholly be
eliminated from any administration under our
system. 1t can be reduced to a minimum.
When the brains and energy of the admins
tration are concentrated on pulling the nation
out of depression. political patronage and pam
handling should take back seat

MORE ELECTRICITY

DIRECT action methods of the Tennessee
- Valley Authority are showing results.
After the IVA demonstrated how cheaply
electric power could be sold at a profit, pri-
vately-owned utilities in the Tennessee Valley
region responded to public pressure and re-
duced their own rates. Now it is estimated that
the users of electricity have been saved $4,000
600 through rate cuts in Tennessee Ohio, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Indiana and IL
linois. While iva does not deserve all the
credit for these savings to consumers. there is
no question of the strong influence it exerted.
These lower rates may not mean less pro-
fits to the private utilities 1t is probable that
the consumers viii pillow the savings back
into greater use of electricity. Cheaper rates
will enable them to make greater use of fans
and electric ice boxes. washing machines and
vacuum cleaners, milking machines and pumps
If So the result will be a net gain in relief
from home and farm drudgery-and better
business.

QUITE UNTRUE

A LETTER sent President Roosevelt by one
L James True, head of what is called
America First, Inc" asks dismissal of a num-
Der Of prominent government officials on the
ground of their membership in the American
Civil Liberties Union.
OF course. neither these useful federal SER
wants nor the union needs defending from the
absurd charge of supporting "subversive
movements" But it is not amisS to remind
Mr. True that when the Lusk committee made
this charge against the A. c. L. U. congress
laughed it out of court. The union is out to
defend all minoritieS whether of the right or
left, in their constitutional privileges to free
expression of opinion in our democracy.
You know perfectly WELL" the A. C. L. U.
wired to Mr.. True. that our purpose is to de-
fend free speech, free press and free assembly
for all minority groups. radicals or reaction
aries, Communists, Nazis. or America First
Inkslingers"
The American Civil Liberties Union is one
OF the few remaining organizations in tbs
country old-fashioned enough to believe in and
to fight for the Dill Of rights.

Added to this 81 ,584 100000 of speculative pro-
fits in 1929 were So 438 OOOOOO of profits of fnan-
cial corporations as over against only $5645,O0O,
900 of profits for all the non-fnancial corpora
tons in the United States.
If the business men of the United States had
even some slight capacity to appreciate the facts
and to face reality, they would not be fighting
the laborerS or farmers They would under
stand that these American masses are the per-
sons upon whom we must rely to buy their goods.
Instead of wage cutting and strike breaking
tactics, they would turn upon the predatory fin
ancial gamblers who have brought sound Ameri-
can industry to its knees If they tried to break
any strike, it would be the great strike of CAPT.
tai now in full bloom.
If the business men do not rub open their
eyes to their real enemies under the capitalistic
system. they will be facing another formidable
enemy which represents quite different system.
