The Word Generation

As applied to the body of indi-
viduals born about the same Pc
Rod, the word generation is reck-
oned historically as meaning 80
years of the century, giving, for
example, our parents, ourselves,
and our offspring as the three gen.
erations in a hundred years. Al
though 1t has occasionally hap
pened that ones grandparents have
lived in ones lifetime, 1t Is unusual |;
so that the interval of time between

commonly computed at thirty
years.-Hterary Digest.

TANK OF GASOLINE
WASHED DOWN SEWER

There was almost a "hOt time" in
Rochester recently when 1900 gallons
of gasoline flooded large area and
needed only a spark from changing
metal or a lighted match to be
touched off. The gasoline had been
consigned to a local station but
drained from a tank car when pres
sure on the safety valve in the sedi-
ment tank proved too great and the
cap underneath was broken. Police
and firemen, fearing a bad situation
if the gas were ever ignited, kept
spectators at a distance while the fire
laddies diluted the fluid with water
and then flushed it down the sewer.
Automobiles were not allowed to pass
within block. The sewer system
would have been destroyed by blaz-
ing inferno if the gas became ignited
after being washed down the pipes,
but it was deemed better to take that
chance than to leave the liquid ex-
posed on the surface.

INVESTIGATORS
GET SURPRISE
Continued from Page -
New Relief Tangle.

A new snarl developed in the re-
lief situation when Governor Olson re-
fused to sign two bills appropriating
a total of s12,OOO.0OO on the ground
that they were unconstitutional as
passed.
One is the main $1O,O00,OO0 relief
bill which was rushed through
both houses early in the week after
Senator A. ]. Rockne, conservative
mittee, had received a message from
Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief ad-
ministrator, stipulating that the Leg
islature must appropriate $1O,0O0,O00
to entitle the state the federal relief
funds allotted to it.
The governor refused to approve the
bill ON the ground that it fails to spe-
city that the relief funds appropriated
shall be for destitute persons, there
by making it emergency legislation,
on which basis it's constitutionality
could be sustained. Most of the orig
inal administration bill had been
redrafted by Senator Rockne.
Under the bill as drafted" said
Governor Olson, there would be moth
ing to prevent the state executive
council from appropriating funds for
the relief of millionaires, state sena-
tors and anyone else"
Questions Financing Plan.
The governor also questioned the
legality of the financing system in the
revised bill, which was sent back to
the Legislature, where it was ex-
pected the necessary revisions would
be made speedily.
The other measure held up by the
governor is the $2,OOO,OO0 seed loan
bill. Governor Olson asserts that it
violates the state constitution because
it would put the state in the lending
business

changers from the temple, but instead
the thing was repaired and the same
ones were returned to control.
Figures for last year after the first
year of the MIRA, show that wages
had risen 8.5 per cent, while the cost
of living had gone up 60 per cent.
This would indicate that the laboring
people are getting less for their work.
The NRA, explained the speaker in
ironic tone, stands for National Recov-
cry Administration, and not National
Reform Administration
The farmer, under the present sys-
tenn, gives $1.00 worth Of food and
gets back 81 cents. It will not be
long until all the dollars go one way.
In explaining profit, the speaker said
that a small margin above cost in
business is not profit but is rightful
pay for service rendered. Anything
above the rightful pay for service
rendered is profit and should not be.
Looking back in history we find
that systems have fallen when peo-
pie become impoverished and do not
have enough to live comfortably on;
therefore it is we'll now that we pom
der, (which Way American" said the
speaker.
Denmark Better Off.
Mr.. Peterson cited Denmark in his
discussion on cooperation and said
that cooperatives have placed that
little country comparatively better
off economically than others. The
unemployment situation. while not
entirely ended, is well on the way
and there is very little farm tenancy,
but that the farms are mostly owned
by tillers. They have their own pack
ing plants, egg markets and export
associations. This shows the success
of producers as well as consumers
organizing.
The speaker warned that unless
more people awaken pretty soon Fas-
cism-perpetuation of the capitalistic
system by the government-will get
hold here. Big business is behind
the scenes in Italy and Germany.
In closing Mr.. Peterson advocated
cooperative commonwealth as the
way out and reiterated that there are
four systems, Fascism, Communism,
Controlled Capitalism and Coopera-
tive Commonwealth, facing the world
today. The controlled capitalistic
system. said the speaker, is the era
that precedes Fascism.
