expressed opposition to proposals
offered by Harry MieSse, Indiana
Taxpayers Association secretary, and
w. H. Book, Chamber of Commerce
vice-president, that an additional

tions by the use of greater pro-

HAWAII STATUS
To Be FOUGHT
OUT IN COURT
Decision May Bring Agita-
ton for Change in Rule
to Climax.

By Unifsd Press
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s.-Appar-
ent conflict between President
Roosevelt and his own department
Of justice regarding the status Of
Hawaii today centered new atten-
ton on the islands as an outpost Of
national defense.
The situation was expected TO
bring to a head long smouldering
agitation for a change in Hawaii's
government from that Of an ap-
pointive governor and territorial
legislature to the form Of a commits
sion.
This change has been agitated on
defense grounds in military and
naval circles for some time. The
discussion was expected TO arouse
new interest in the Pacific defense
problem which already is receiving
increased attention by army and
naval experts.
Outgrowth Of Suit
The whole matter is the out
growth Of a suit by the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association and
some remarks made by President
Roosevelt on his recent visit TO
Hawaii.
The sugar planters have filed
suit in the District of Columbia
court testing the constitutionality
Of the Jones' Costigan sugar act as
applied to Hawaii. Discrimination
IN fixing of quotas is charged.
In answering the complaint, the
department of justice sets up the
argument that the islands are not
an integral part of the United
States, never having been incOrpo-
rated into the nation.
This argument runs directly coun-
ter to the statement by the Presi-
dent on leaving Hawaii. The Presi-
dent said that your administration
will not forget you are in very truth
an integral part Of the nation"
Position Is Questioned
Should the courts uphold the de-
partment of justice, it was believed
here that the arguments for COM
mission form of government would
at least get a hearing in congress.
Previously commission advocates
have encountered overwhelming re-
sistence due to sentiment in Ha-
waii for home rule" and statehood
aspirations.
The question Of President Roose-
velt's position aroused speculation.
Some believed that he was speaking
in a general sense in his Hawaiian
address, without regard to strict
legal distinctions. According to this
view, the President probably would
back up the justice department ar
gIIment.

OVER LEASED WIRE
AT WRESTLING BOUT
Arrangements Made to Give
Piay-by-play Account by
Wire From Auditorium

A play-by-play account of the Red
wood Falls-South High school basket
ball game will be given at the Bronko
Nagurski VS.. Floyd Marshall wrest-
ling match here tonight, it was an
nounced Wednesday by Elmer Hedge
son, promoter.
The program has been arranged so
that preliminaries will be completed
before 9 p. m. when the game starts
and the main event will be staged at
10 p. m. when the game is over. The
arrangement was made early in the
week but was not announced because
it was hoped that every fan who poss-
IDLY could would support the boys by
attended the tournament.
Fans who do not attend the match
will be allowed to stand in the armory
lobby and on the street if the weather
permits and no charge will be made.
Clarence Keefe of The Redwood Ga
zette will announce the game. I'm
provements have been made in the
equipment which it is believed will
enable everyone to hear the event.

APRIL 10 LAST DAY
TOSICN CONTRACTS
FOR C0RN-HOG PLAN
Urge Stragglers Not To Delay
g Sending of Contracts to
State Reviewers

The deadline for accepting appli-
cations for corn-hog reduction con-
tracts for Redwood county has been
set for April 10 according to word
from the county agents office. All
farmers who have not been able to
sign contract yet should call at the
county agents office to do so, the an
nouncement stated.
The slowest man in the county will
hold up the rest, as most Of the corn
and hog growers who intend to join
have already signed up and have their
contracts in the hands of their COM
mittee. A total of 2,O26 contracts has
been received so far. These men want
their money as soon as possible, but
if there are many stragglers who de-
lay in getting their contracts filled
out, the program will be held up to
some extent.
Farmers who are unable to obtain
all Of their supporting evidence should
not delay turning in their contracts
on this account. They may fill out
their contracts to the best of their
ability and supply the necessary evil
dence later.
None of the contracts can be sent
to the state board of review for ap-
prevail until all are in and have been
checked by the tabulators and by
community and county allotment
committees. The community commit
tees will soon begin the word of check
ing the acreage and appraising the
yields of the field offered for contract.
1t will save both time and money it
they can visit all of the farms in a
given locality on one trip. Turning in
contracts on time will enable them to
plan their work with this end in view.
Another point emphasized is that
all who took out a government loan
on corn are obliged to sign corn
hog contract. Many have already done
so, but few have not.
Indications for the state as whole
are that 10000 contracts carrying
signatures Of about IS per cent of the
eligible corn and hog raisers will be
turned in.

$99,Sl6 SPENT IN
REDWOOD COUNTY BY
CWA IN 4 MONTHS
RWA Steps in as ia Are Given
Jobs; Total May Surpass
CWA Recent Quota
BEGAN HERE NOVEMBER %
Government Spends SSS,275.4S
for Labor, S11,540.S2
for Trucks, Teams

Lyle S. Garlock, certifying officer
and Leland Tyler, disbursing officer,
compiled figures this week which
show the expenditures of the civil
works administration in Redwood
county during its four months history
which ended March Is.
During the period, $Ss,275.48 was
paid by the government to men and
women for actual labor; Sill ,540.82
was spent for teams and trucks for
grand total of $99,816.3O. A total of
7,747 checks was issued. Mr.. Tyler
stated.
The civil works program started
here November % when less than 100
men were assigned jobs on the rap
idly speeded projects. Richard Cook,
highway engineer, was placed in
charge of the county and Mr.. Gar
lock and Mr.. Tyler were appointed.
The quota at that time was set at
400 but within a few weeks, it was
raised to 470. In the weeks that fol-
lowed the number was increased un-
til 591 men were receiving weekly
pay checks of considerably over S.
900 weekly.
Projects were rapidly prepared and
sent to state headquarters for APP
proval and soon every town and city
in the county were receiving benefits
from the work and money.
Now the CWA is enJlrely ended and
the office of Mrs. Katherine Praxel is
continuing the work under the RWA
banner, giving jobs only in families
that must have aid, and limiting
hours so that men and women can
earn only what they must have.
This week ia men were assigned
to projects under the Relief Works
Administration. Families are being
investigated and those needing work
and money will be put on the list.
1t is too early to get an exact in
dication on the number of men to re-
ceive employment under the new
plan but early indications are that
the number will surpass the most re-
cent CWA quota. The men are work.

BASKETBALL MORE
THAN PAYS WAY in
REDWOOD SCHOOLS
Board Gets Report, Reflects
Wichman, Reinstates Ger
man in Curriculum

Basketball not only was profitable
sport here during the 1933-34 season
but the receipts exceeded expendi-
lures by an amount almost equal to
the deficit incurred during the foot
ball season, according to a report
submitted by the superintendent to
the school board at it's March meet
ing.
During the regular playing season,
the receipts amounted to $370.05 of
which $166.4O was received from the
sale of season tickets. Expenses
amounted to $243.45, leaving a bal
ance of $4,000. Since in most places
football receipts Garry" the remain
der of the sport program, the situa-
ton here is rather unique. A football
deficit of $13S.O7 was incurred last
season.
The board also reelected j. H.
Wichman as superintendent at his
present salary and reinstated Ger
man in the curriculum where it has
been missing for years.
The minutes of the meetings as

SLUG MILROY MAN,
ROB. HIM OF $3.50
IN STRANGE RAID
George Wagner Returning From
Marshall Was Victim of
Three Highwaymen

George Wagner, Milroy poolhall
operator, was struck in the face,
blindfolded and robbed Of $3.50 in
cash by three highway bandits on
Highway IA near the Cottonwood
corner when he was returning home
from Marshall, he reported to Sheriff
L. j. Kise last Thursday.
According to Mr.. Wagner's report,
he did not return home until nearly
a. m. Thursday although he was
robbed about 1880 p. m. Wednesday,
March ID.
Mr.. Wagner said he was driving
along the paving when car drove up
beside his. Two men from the other
car jumped onto his running board
and hit him in the head. They blind
folded him and took his wallet.
They then drove around in circles
several hours and released him, he
said, after which he went to farm
house and inquired the way to Tracy.
Mr.. Wagner could not remember
where the robbers had taken him but
he believes they went through Cotton
wood as he saw lights once.
He got home about 4 a. m. and
called Sheriff Kise. As the accident
happened in Lyon county, Sheriff
George Rankin of Lyon county was
called and helped in an all-day search

$47,929 ALLOTTED
REDWOOD COUNTY
FOR use ON ROADS
Renville Gets $4,000 Extra
for Parkway From Morton
to Fort Ridgely

Redwood county will receive SAT 1929
as it's share Of the state one-mill road
tax and gasoline tax, it was decided at
the annual meeting of the state board
of allotment in st. Paul recently.
The county gets $10,929 from the
one mill tax and $37 900 from the gas
oline tax. Renville county received
$10,185 from the one mill tax and
$51, 900 from the gas tax. The latter
figure included $4,000 special al
lotment for parkway between Nor
ton and Fort Ridgely.
!. The entire proceeds of the one
mill tax go to state aid roads, while
one-third of the total gas tax collect
ions go to county aid roads and two
thirds to state trunk highways.
The total amount to be distributed
from the state road and bridge fund
this year will be less than in 1882,
owing to an estimated average tax
delinquency of Is per cent and a de-
creased consumption of gasoline in
the state a highway bulltin says.
The board of allotment placed the
total available this year from the
one-mill levy at $1,01S,530 compared
with 1921, 900 last year. The 1884
share of the counties in the gasoline
tax was estimated at s., 200, 900 by the
board, as against $3,600,000 in 1888.
Members of the board of allotment
are N. w. Elsberg, commissioner of
highways; Stafford King, state audi
tor and Julius Schmahl, state trea-
surer.
