gram has been announced by Cover
nor Olson. The program, to be car
ried out by the drouth relief division
under E. F. Mattson, provides for the
purchase of 100000 tons of hay and
straw in II counties in the Upper Red
River valley; for the cutting and bal
ing of 100000 tons of hay on unoc-
cupied tax delinquent lands of St.
Louis and Koochiching counties; con-
servation of and the cutting, shred
ing and baling of corn fodder in the
southern counties of the state, plant

pasturage in the acute drouth areas,
and relief to hail sufferers for which
the state has appropriated $15O.OOO.
The major portion of the $15,O00,00O

These days, when times are tough.
there is a tendency on the part of
many to cheat the state out of the
three cents gasoline tax. The state
refunds the three cents gallon when
the gasoline purchased is not used
for the operation of a vehicle on the
highways. Chiselers are figuring out
all kinds Of ways to get that 3 cents.
However, they are not getting very
far as Mr.. Griffith is dragging vic
lators into court.
Paul Y. Anderson, reporter and
columnist, was in Minneapolis num-
Der of days covering the strike. Mr..
Anderson is an honest man with a
genius for straight thinking and fine

he is viewed with alarm" by GER

was made at the last session of the

through this column, the bill never
saw the light of day. Yet, we have
senators who profess to look after the
interest of Minnesota people.
Visitors to the Minnesota State fair
during the first week of September
will find exhibits of the state Depart
ment of Conservation housed in new
building just completed. The struc-
ture, with rustic log finish, is located
in the center of the grounds where
the street car lines enter the fair
grounds. Appropriate dedication cere-
monies will be featured. All divis-
ions including Drainage and Waters,
Lands and Minerals, Forestry, Game
and Fish and the Tourist Bureau will
present new and augmented displays.
About two years ago Lake Superior
fishermen, who inhabit the north
shore of the lake from Duluth to the
Canadian border, were confronted
with serious situation. The federal
government confiscated some of their
fish at points of destination, resulting
in total loss to the fishermen. Fish
dealers refused to purchase other
shipments. The state department of
agriculture, to rescue the industry,
established an inspection service at
Duluth where fish are carefully in
spected before shipment, infested fish,
the cause of the federal government s
complaint, being separated from mar
ketable fish. The department reports
that this service has virtually saved
the fishing industry; there are very
few reflections by the federal govern
ment now.

where none now exist. AS a result,
thousands of school children will be
able to go to school this fall who
otherwise would not.
An estimated reduction of $751;
$4,000 in tax assessments on real
estate this coming year due to the
Homestead Tax law is the estimate
of the Tax Commission. This means
that this reduction will have to be
made up some place else and that
some place else will be the higher
brackets of wealth. The estimated
reduction in the assessment in cities
and villages is $7S,SS5,455 while in
townships the reduction is estimated
at $75,606,574.
If the Minneapolis strike proved
anything at all, it was that the ma
chinery for settling labor disputes
is frail and ineffective. Labor boards
are lacking in authority, which makes
it possible for certain employers to
ignore the section of the N. l. r. A.
which provides for collective bargain
ing by representatives of the en-
ployes' own choosing. 1t is nauseat-
ing to hear cries of communism"
raised whenever workingmen go on
strike to obtain that which the law
says they are entitled to. In most
cases, these cries are insincere. 1t
is particularly worthy of note to re-
port that there was not a single case
of physical resistance to the guards
men; crime during the period of mil
itary rule was at its lowest ebb, and
nobody was shot in the back. The
brutal, stupid shooting of unarmed
pickets by police will forever remain
a black mark against the city of Min
neapolis. 1t is safe to say that had

tiles where crops are good his de-
partment is realizing 5000 on a quar-

VAN NUYS NOT
TO RETURN FOR
PRIMARY VOTE
congressman Also to
Remain in Capitol;
Robinson on Way.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, May Prob
ably the first time in the entire
history of Hoosier delegations in
congress, a senator and perhaps four
or five representatives will not go
home to vote, it was disclosed today.
Explanation of this curious phe-
nomenon lies somewhat in the fact
that senatorships are now in con-
vention and that the congressman
who remain in Washington do not
take their primary competition on
Tuesday very seriously.
But it can also be said that they
are taking their job on Capitol hill
seriously and will remain yer doing
very hard and serious work during
these closing days of the session.
Senator Arthur r. Robinson will
return to indianapolis to vote, while
members of his staff remain in
charge of his Office here. The re-
verse is true in the Office of Senator
Frederick Van Mugs: women m
ployes returning to Indiana while
the senator remains on the job.
He is thoroughly engroSsed in
securing passage of the corporations
bankruptcy bill, vote on which has
been delayed by the flibuster for
imitation staged by Senator Huey
P. Long.
Members of the house facing stiff
opposition have been back cam
paigning in Indiana and both them
selves and the eligible staff will be
on hand to vote.
They include the Democratic whip
of the house, Arthur H. Greenwood,
Washington; Mrs. Virginia Jenckes,
Terre Haute; Eugene B. Grove,
Bedford, and Glenn GriSwold, Peru.
Having succeeded in putting the
stock exchange regulation bill
through the house, Representative
Samuel B. Pettengill, South Bend,
announced that he may be on hand
for the voting tomorrow.
Others on the doubtful list in
clude Representatives Louis Ludlow,
Indianapolis; Finley H. Gray, Con-
n%ersville; George R. Durgan, La1a-
yette, and William H. Larrabee, New
Palestine.
Representatives William T.
Schultz, Hammond; John W.
Boehne Jr., Evansville, and James I.
Farley, Auburn, have gone home to
vote, but MI. Schultz is the only
only of the trio said to be facing
a genuine contest.

disaster found Evergreen. It's temple
was leveled to the ground by fire Of
an unknown origin. Stricken, but
far from defeated, the members of
tbs lodge met that night to contem-
plate what steps could be taken to
remedy the results of the fire.
Evergreen'S uneXampled courage
soon was displayed when in a very
few days workmen started removing
the debris from the scene of the
fire and erecting a new temple.
1t is interesting to note that a
large majority of the workmen en-
ployed on the new building were
not only Masons, but also Evergreen
members. Then, as always, the
west side lodge took care of its
own.
The present Evergreen temple was
dedicated on July 27, 1882, by
Charles. L. Benedict and Obie j.
Smith, both past grand masters of
the Indiana grand lodge. Thus in
spite of the destruction of its first
temple, the lodge was without a
home of its own less than five
months.
TODAY, less than fifteen years
l. since it was founded, Evergreen,
having surmounted all obstacles
which have appeared in its path, is
a large and thriving blue lodge with
a membership of more than 700.
Evergreen past masters are Arch
Winnings, Chester A. Tilghman, Ar
thur Bright, Frank j.. Cakes, John A.
Case, William D. Butler, William F.
Riddell, John M. Anderson, Frank

SOUTH BEND, May 7.-Indica-
ton that at least one important In
diana industry is enjoying almost
pre-depression business activity was
cited today by Paul G.. Hoffman,
president of the Studebaker Cor
poration of America.
Substantial sales increases, more
working hours per week, absence of
labor troubles, and fatter pay en-
velopeS summarize this organiZa-
TONS improved business condition.
While our domestic order have
been especially gratifying, our ex-
port business far has exceeded our
fondeSt expectations" Mr.. Hoffman
declared. ON April l, we had on
record 1854 orders for passenger
and commercial cars. This demand
has caused us to set our estimate of
sales on a basis that we believe will
surpaSs any month since 1929"
Approximately 5000 employees are
at work at the Studebaker plant,
Mr.. Hoffman pointed out. This is
double the amount employed dur
ing the greater part Of last year.
Mr.. Hoffman considers their. SUI
perior type Of labor n of the or
CARNATIONS greatest assets.
Mos of our factory workers are
natives of South Bend, or some
other part of Indiana, and many of
them are property owners here" he
said. Il safely can say that the
majority Of men in factory di-
vision have been with Studebaker
at least five years, some as long as
fifty. This represents virtually a
lifetime of loyal service"

This is the eighteenth Of . series Of
histories Of Marion County Masonic blue
lodges which is being published each
Monday in The Times. A history OF
Bridgeport lodge will be published next
week.
n EAL birthplace Of Evergreen
N lodge No. 713, Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, like Calvin Pra-
Their lodge, was a barber shop. 1t
was at Nick Hurst's shop, on the
southeast corner Of Addison and
Washington streets, that, while wait
ing for shaves or haircuts, a group
of Master Masons, during the fall
of 1918 and spring of 1919, aired
their opinions on the possibility OF
founding a blue lodge which would
draw its membership from the Vi
cinity.
And it was in this same barber
shop that the earlier agitation first
took shape in organized action; for
there it was that the founders Of
Evergreen held their first meeting
and decided to attempt to meet
the demand for formation Of a
lodge. The date vas April Is, 1919.
Once organized, the founders held
meetings at various places in the
community, and when, at last, a
petition was forwarded to the grand
lodge of Indiana requesting dispen-
sation to organize a blue lodge, the
petition bore the signature of thirty
one Master Masons.
It was the stated intention of the
signers that Evergreen become a
neighborhood lodge and such it has
been, and a most successful one, too,
ever since dispensation was granted
by the lodge on Aug. 90. 1919.
First stated meeting Of the new
organization was held on Sept. 5 of
that year in the temple of North
Park lodge, which had generously
rendered all its facilities to Ever
green until such time as the young
lodge could obtain quarters of its
own.
But much as they appreciated the
generosity Of North Park, Evergreen
members we're most anxious for a
home of their own, and they dis
played their enthusiasm for the new
organization by purchasing and re-
modelling an apartment building at
25l9 West Washington street. Thus
they became possessed of a suitable
temple in which they held their
first meeting on Nov. l, 1919, some
eight months before a charter was
granted.
incidentally, Evergreen today still
occupies the site of it's original
temple, although a new and more
handsome structure has been erect
ed in its stead.
THE lodge was instituted with ap-
L propriate ceremony on June 90,
1920, shortly after the charter had
been granted. Charles J.. Orbison,
then grand master of the Indiana
grand lodge, oficiated and installed
Evergreen's first officers. who were
Arch Winnings, worshipful master;
Chester A. Tilghman, senior war
den; William F. Lee, junior warden;
William E. Van Talge, treasurer;
Carl L.. Jones, secretary; Arthur
Bright, senior deacon; Robert F.
Thompson, junior deacon; Alonzo L.
