CORN-HOG RAISERS
SHOULD SIGN SOON

For the benefit of late signers of
corn-hog contracts in northern Pine
county, it is announced that another
sign-up meeting will be held at Bar
ney Amundsen's in Willow River on
Monday. April 2. For the southern
part of Pine county it is requested
that signers call at the office located
in the Electric power and light build
ing in Pine City. The dead line for
signing contracts is definitely set at
April 10 and it is announced that no
contract may be received or signed
after that date.
To refute rumOrs as to the present
contracts being arbitrarily extended
beyond 1894, Lester o. Gilmore, emer-
gency county agent, states that the
contract limitations on corn and hog
production and other regulations APP
ply only to the 1894 season.
Wheat reduction contracts may be
signed by farmers who grew wheat
in the base years of 1880 to 1882 if
they will call at the office in Pine
City, says Mr.. Gilmore.

HOLIDAY MEMBERS
DISCUSS PROBLEMS

A small crowd attended the meeting
of the ASkov National Farmers Holt
day unit held in the d. B. S. hall
Tuesday night for the purpose of dis
cussing the political situation and
other matters pertinent to the welfare
of the farmers.
Hjalmer Sandell of Hinckley, sec
rotary of the county Holiday associa
ton, was present and talked on the
necessity of a strong organization and
advised against the endorsement of
candidates for county and some state
offices, for which there appeared to
be some sentiment at the meeting.
Mr.. Sandell based his advice on the
fact that possibly the Holiday was not
sufficiently strong to put over a slate
of candidates and in this event it
might work to disadvantage in that
the opposition might be elected. No
vote was taken and nothing was de-
cided about this. However, a county
wide Holiday meeting will be held at
Hinckley Saturday at which time this
proposition will be further discussed.
Other matters such as membership
OF the Holiday association, drouth re-
lief, etc. were discussed.

VETERANS PAY BILL
PASSES OVER VETO

Last minute dispatches gave the al
most unexpected news that the United
States Senate had Overridden Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto of the Veterans
Federal Pay bill by SO to 81 ma
jority. The house had Tuesday voted
to pass the bill over the presidential
veto by a 80 to 70 vote.
In overriding the veto the house
and senate causes permanent re-
storation to the rolls of $4,000
World war veterans whose disabilities
were presumed to have had service
origin before the passage of the econ
omy act. 1t also provides for re-
storing thousands of Spanish-Amer-
lean war veterans who were elm
mated from the rolls because they
could not prove their injuries origin
ated from the war. They, like the
World war veterans will get rs per
cent Of their former pay.
The bill also restores five per cent
of the fifteen per cent reduction suf-
fered by government employees when
the economy act was passed. This
will be effective from February 1 to
July and will also include five per
cent for the next fiscal year.

INCOME TAX VALIDITY
VICTORY FOR FARMERS
TROVATTEN STATES

Praising the unanimous decision of
the Minnesota Supreme Court in favor
of the constitutionality of the income
tax law, r. A. TrOvatten, Minnesota
Commissioner Of Agriculture. Dairy
and Food, cites this judicial act as
an important farm relief measure.
Commissioner Trovatten said that
this law will eventually alleviate the
burden of taxation which now rests
heavily upon the backs of the farmer
and the home owner and place 1t
where it belongs, upon those who
are able to pay"
Those earning large incomes" he
said, "are naturally opposed to the
law But it seems rather selfish that
they should insist that the farmer
and the home owner continue to pay
such a large share of the cost Of gov
eminent. Farmers have won a vic
tory"

TRUCKING LAWS
BRING CONFUSION

Considerable confusion has arisen
among truckers in Minnesota and adj
jacent states because there are two
separate and distinct laws in this state
affecting motor transportation of
freight. One of these laws is the
license registration law, which is
administered by the Secretary of
State. The other is Chapter 10. the
contract truck law. administered by
the Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion, composed of Frank w. Matson,
C. ]. Laurisch, and Knud Wefald.
Under the license registration law.
"for hire" trucker may select as
his situs, or base of operations, point
ether than his place of residence and
carry on trucking business within a
35-mile zone from this point with
nothing but an "X'' license plate, is
sued by the Secretary of State.
But under Chapter 10. a trucker
cannot change his base of operations
in order to avoid taking out a permit
and carrying Insurance; for instance,
resident of Litchfield cannot haul
goods for hire between that city and
st. Paul without a permit from the
Railroad and Warehouse Commission.
If he lived midway between those
cities. he could do hauling for hire
from ST. Paul to Litchfield, or from
Litchfield to ST. Paul without such
permit, his Ak" license plate from the
Secretary of State alone emitting him
to the use of the highways between
those two points. But under the con-
tract truck law, he cannot pretend
that his base of operations is at any
other point than his actual home. I'm
der the license law he can. That is
where the two Laws conflict, with re-
sulting confusion among truckers.

Fall.

Thousands of voters and citizens
throughout the state of Minnesota and
the nation listened by radio to this
states popular and aggressive COVER
nor, Floyd B. Olson, tell 1900 dele
gates and persons assembled in Farm

try are on the Minnesota Farmer

swer to those who contend that
government cannot be truly repre-
sentative of the common man and
woman"
Governor Olson, who received the
unanimous endorsement of the con-
vention for a third term as governor,
spoke of the Republican party as a
corpse" and "a party that has moth
ing to offer the peOple-it knows it,
and the people know it," He flayed
the Republicans for failing to put
their shoulders to the wheel and
help the nation in its recovery.
Governor Olson was optimistic as
to the future of the Farmer-Labor
party, stating that it enters the COM
ing political campaign with prospects
for success the brightest in it's his
tory; that the party has withstood the
test of fire and that it is represen-
tative of the rank and file because

sading spirit of the party be kept

that the seeking of patronage will
do a lot toward killing that spirit.

pie of the state may reap the full
benefits of progressive administra-
ton.

present to the president and govern
ment officials plan for the better
ment of agriculture.
