Pete's answer was a grunt, in

Bill made rapid survey Of the

one name appeared. econ David,

$50 SANDSTONE PEOPLE
TO GIVE COMEDY PLAY

The American Legion post of Sand
stone. will stage comedy of radio
life i'm the New Theatre in that viii
lage Monday and Tuesday, May 81 and
%, with $50 local people taking part.
The title of the play is, 1.-The Worlds
All Right" and completely answers
the description of something diff
ferent."
The scene of the entire show is
laid in a radio broadcasting studio,
and the radio announcer, Jimmy
Waddell, is played by Sam Gjertson.
His sweetheart and secretary, Jane
Rogers, Is played by Miss Margaret
Tyre. These two young people are
trying to keep a radio station from
going broke. Bill collectors haunt
them and talent walks out on them;
nevertheless they are determined to
put over a big program in order to
sell some advertising to Mr.. Dinkell,
of Dinkell Pickles, Inc. John Hawley
plays the part of Mr.. Dinkell. VIM.
H. Barnick plays the part of the bill
collector.
The comedy lead, Joe the office
boy, is portrayed by Everend Thorn.
He saves the day by putting an act
over the air which is a sensational
success. Mrs. Eva Strand plays OPP
pOsite Joe in the role of Gertie Green,
the Vamp of New Orleans, and sings
the number which is the high spot
on the radio program.
Studio Scene.
The entire show being laid in a
broadcasting studio, it is unique be-
cause the audience is given a back
programs are put over the air. When
talent fails to show up and things
go wrong, the radio announcer is
often called upon to fill in and give
character representations himself. In
many instances that is just what takes
place in this show.
The opening number is the Chill
dren's Story Hour with Mrs. Pearl
GjertsOn acting as the Tell-Me-A-
Story-Lady. The first big chorus of
the show is supported by the Girls
Glee Club of the high school and Miss
Phyllis Webb's dancing class.
There is a novelty quartet; Hill
Billy group, the big comedy hit of
the show; Vested choir of 80 voices,
a One Minute speaker, played by
Attorney A. Johnson; Skipper Eric
son who sings I'm Waiting for Ships
That Never Come H." played by Ben
Hedlund and a Stars and Stripes Re-

A big parade will be held Saturday
evening, May 10, including the entire
cast and a band.

even those who are in a position to
receive the refund, they had the un-
fortunate experience of having this
money taken from them at a time
when they could least afford it.
Based ON the experience of other
cities, it is doubtful if much more
than half of the amount unjustly col
lected by the Chicago telephone trust
will be returned to it's rightful own
ers.
The history of regulation i'm this
case was as clumsy and slow as ever.
The rate reduction which should have
gone into effect in 1923 was repeated
ly tied up with injunctions and fed
eral court litigation. The City OF
Chicago is reported to have spent as
much as a million dollars battling the

neys of the telephone company.

much better 1t would be I'm the
interests Of speedy justice to pro.
vide for the appealing of regu-
latOry commission rulings, where
they are appealed, directly to the

In spite of the long delay. however
the supreme court decision in the
telephone case is a substantial vic
tory in the public interests. 1t sets
a precedent which may dissuade
utility combines from resOrting to
involved court action. But the utility
problem can never be permanently
solved as long as selfish private in
terests are permitted to control and
operate public utilities which are in
herently monopolies vested with a
public interest.

MIR. GERARD AND AMERICAN
INVESTORS
(LabOr)

James w. Gerard, former Ambassa-
dor to Germany and lifetime spokes-
man of high finance, came out with
blast last week calling on American
investors to organize for "self-pro-
tectiOn," and mOdesty intimating that
he would be willing to lead such an
organization.
American investors" he said, ARE
treated contemptuOusly. They must
use their strength to protect them
selves both from radical legislation
and from radical-minded politicians
and their associates"
That sounds impressive, but what
are the facts?
American investors are one of the
three groups which have been sys-
tematically skinned. gOuged and
"gypped" by American high finance.
The other two groups thus treated
are the workers and consumers.
Wherever high finance of the kind
that Mr.. Gerard represents has had
its way, wages have gone down, prices
have gone up, and the small investor
has been taken for ride that too
often has ended I'm bankruptcy court.
Yet now, Mr.. Gerard proposes to Or
ganize one of the plundered groups,
probably to turn it against the other
two.
OF the millions of American in
vestors mentioned by Gerard, nearly
half a million bought insult utility
stocks. They were not hurt by rad
ioal legislation" they were robbed by
some of the best minds" of the world
of finance. The people who put their
savings in Cities Service at $50 a
share and now find it at less than So
were not hit by regulation of the
Stock Exchange; they were ruined be-
cause stock deals were not decently
regulated.
For every nickel lost through rad
ical" public policies ST. indeed, any
money has been lost that way-a hun
dred dollars have gone into the bot
tomless pit of crooked speculation
and high-pressure craftsmanship.
American investors should organize,
indeed. But the first purpose of their
union should be to secure laws and
enforcement of laws to protect inves-
tors from financial piracy. If this be
radicalism, let Mr.. Gerard make the
most of it.

MAKING 1T CLEAR

The Farmer-Labor party of Mime
sofa is the only strong third party
movement in the United States and
steps are being taken to organize a
like party in neighboring states. 1t
stands to reason that men like La
Toilette of Wisconsin, and Norris of
Nebraska, cannot very well continue
to run as Republicans. True, they
are designated as progressive Repub
licans, but there is about as much diff
ference between them and reactionary
Republicans as between night and
day. They as we'll as their opponents
being labeled as Republicans it is
naturally confusing to the voters.
The break has to come sooner or
later and it had better be sooner so
the voter will know more definitely
what principles and policies he is
voting for.
The Farmer-LabOr party in Min
nesota having elected the governor,
other state officers, made big inroads
in the Legislature and besides that
having sent five congressman and a
senator to Washington, it was only
to be expected and required that the
platform adopted by its state con-
vention should contain planks per-
tanning to proposed legislation of both
state and federal Importance.
A better arrangement of those
plankS might have been made but
that was an item which was over
looked at the rousing two-day state
convention with its 700 delegates.
The planks should have been segre-
gated so that those pertaining to pro-
posed state legislation which may be
enacted at the first or any succeed
ing session of the legislature would
be all in one group. Those would be
the planks to which candidates for
the Legislature, and the voters who
are to choose from amongst the cam
didates, would concern themselves
mostly for the impending primary and
general election.
Another group of planks would be
those pertaining to proposed amend
ments to the state constitution which
of course would also be of concern
to the legislative candidates and the
voters.
A third group Of planks would be
those pertaining to Federal legisla-
tion-statutory and constitutional.
So arranged it would be easier for
the voter to see and to know just
what is proposed by the party in the
way of state legislation.
With this in mind-for the con-
venience of the voter-the platform
has been carefully gone over and so
segregated by leaders of the party.
Explanations are made of the var
ious planks, how the legislation is
to be brought about and how it will
work out. Word pictures are also
drawn of how some of the proposed
state legislation has Jared in other
states and countries.
The explanatory document with it's
segregation of all the planks in three
groups will be released to the press
tomorrow and will appear in full in
the Farmer-Labor Leader being issued
this week. 1t will be we'll worth the
time of any voter to read and digest
the explanations.
