RUSSIAN RULERS
BY Nonad

Lloyd Crardall has recently
returned from a three year en-
ployment in Russia as an expert
in animal husbandry. In an ad-
dress last Sunday to members of
the First Baptist church, Mr..
Crandall furnished vivid idea
of what Russia actually is under
communism.
He said that the people are
starving while their rulers are
overfed, that while the masses
needed, food direly the govern
ment was spending immense
sums of money for propaganda.
He said that large vats used for
receiving the refuse from pack
ing plants were emptied stealthi-
ly under the cover of night by
starving men.
When it was learned, Mr..
Crandall said, that he had fed
starving men, women and child
rem, literally hundreds of other
persons flocked to his doors for
food.
1t seemed to him that all of
Russia was in the bread fine ex-
cept the rulers.
And this is what the commit
nists in America are trying to
slip. over on us in trade for de-
inocracy!
Russian Utopia! The Commit
mist Paradise!

Funny! And isn't the Anti-Sa-

Well, when the Anti Saloon

reasonably satisfied with the
present administration, it strikes
me that old ''Meck" has a bum

chief executive and committee
forget that the latter is not III
xistence because the former de-
sired, but because of public cla-
NOR for an Investigation and an
expose of the FL administra-
TONS disgraceful conduct in the
disbursements of emergency re-
lief.
Before the legislature con-
vened-as early as the first few
days of last January was in
formed that the committee, then
uniformed, would be glad to Sc
cure certain information, which
embryonic members inferred l
had. Among others was infor-
nation concerning the constr',c-
ton of a hospital in the vicinity
of the Old Soldiers Home. But
we'll Just discard formalities and
get down to thumb tacks:
This hospital was presumably
a "relief project" but l defy
the governor or any other indi-
| vidual in the state to shosO me
the connection betaVeen hospital
construction and emergency re-
lief!
That hospital was constructed
with and from emergency relief
funds! The governor knows this
and the investigating committee
knows it-everyone knows it

question my statement, l refer
them to the files and suggest
that they inspect the file of Job

way. And what happened?
With the file number in their
possession, with the files at their
fingers end-with nothing else
to do to hang the misabbrobria-
tion of emergency relief funds

committee
Placed the important matter of

report to the effect that the men

or may not interest the commit

The governor pitches fit be-
cause his administration is under
investigation and the Senate (and
possibly the House) has a COM
mittee investigating the govern
or's administration. When the
situation becomes too intense, the
governor bellows defiance at the
committee and the latter retail
ates by swapping at the chief ex-
ecutive. It's a delightful display
of verbal pyrotechnics-or shoot
ing stars.
But nothing seems to happen
The governor insists that if he
were allowed to ''explain ever
thing" all would be harmonious.
The committee declares that the
irate executive can go fall in the
lake until it is completely ready
to listen to his seductive explana-
tions. And there we are-we
saps out on the bleachers.
Well, let's move over where we
can get a better view:
The governor insists that the
committee has no right, power or
what have you, to investigate fed
eral emergency relief disburse-
ments-and doubtless he is. right.
The peculiar feature of it all is.
that the taxpayers will be perfect
ly satisfied with a disclosure as to
where the STATE emergency re-
lief funds 7Vent, leaving the
Roosevelt "despondents" to shud-
der at their own grief.
For reasons unknown to mortal
man, the governor persists in
yammering about federal relief
funds. Let me assure the gen
tleman that no one except his
illustrous self cares a whoop in
"Fiddler's green" what became
of the federal "jack" If it was
all thrown at the sparrows, the
ultimate results would be the
same: the people will eventually
get the results of bourbonite
rule where the shanghai got the
hatchet. In brief, all federal
funds, relief or unrelief will be
in the process of collection from
the next twenty geherations--
and WE won't be here.
Mr.. Olson insists that certain
projects presumably under a pre-
sunable and highly imaginary in
vestigation are of the non-inves-
tigatable character and he cites his
own willingness to appear before
the committee and in substantiation
of his allegations, tell them
where to fall into the creek.
On the other and remaining
hand, the committee insists that
it intends conducting further
investigations" regardless Of the
objections of the governor.
All these recriminations and
customary reactions are proper
in their proper place, but both

State Emergency Relief Funds
Used In Hospital Construction

Investigating Committee Appears To Hesitate About Investigating
Use Of SERA Funds in Construction of Hospital File Number of

Testify Camp Ripley Project Suggested Ripe For Invest

ey. No argument on that score.
BM-the records of that con-
strnction aViH prove that state
and federal money svas Kept sep
arate! There was no informing
ling of federal and state funds
and the committee is respectfully
referred, once more, to the files
of job number 88-B-349. How
ever, l suggest that in the event
the gentlemen of that committee
desire substantiating witnesses
they send an investigator out
who has some idea of what he's
supposed to secure. Those boys
didn't know a witness when they
met one.
And while the governor and
committee members are combing
that one out of their hair, let me
suggest that they take an official
look-see at the "Camp Ripley"
project-where from thirty to
more than eighty percent of the
funds spent acre for salaries
and non-locd labor, if the gentle
men can distinguish the differ
ence and l presume they can.
They will find, that for the
week ending January 8, SIXTY
fve per cent of the Ripley prof.
ect 7Vemt to pay off "non resident
laboy"- friends!
The committee will also find
that the matter of the SERA was
really a project as it has de-
veloped, divided into eighty-etght
units-each county constituting
one unit and the extra one for
Minneapolis Cor Kjorlaug, ct al).
These units each have their re-
cords that are subject to subpoena
in the event the committee en-
counters difficulty in securing
others.
I'm doing no "slew-footing"
for any committee, that's settled.
But l am thoroughly disgusted
with the results obtained thus
far.
I hold that all the contractor
Clarks from St. Paul to Sheol
will have no effect upon the in
vestigation of state emergency
relief and that's what the COM
mittee is presumed to be investi-
gating-the manner in which
State Emergency Relief funds
were zVasted!
The manner in which these
funds were disbursed should give
the only necessary clue to the
political aspects of the case
determine whether or not these
relief funds were wasted in liq-
uidating political debts or in the
construction and maintenance Of
a political machine.
Going back, briefly, to that
hospital job: HI
The only possible excuse for
its construction from SERA
funds is the fact that it has been
The Saturday press., 1935-03-09

while the "Puppetry Projects,
the "Mumbelty-peg Projects"
and the "Rope- Jumping Rodeos
cannot.
/ But the facts remain and the
records will prove, that the con-
struction of that hospital was
made possible by the use of
emergency relief fnnds-from
money appropriated for the re-
lief of hunger and destitntion,
Such being the case, and it is,
the committee should have no
difficulty in hanging that misuse
of relief funds round the neck
of the Olson administration.
And, if the committee desires
to probe into other aspects of the
rotten business, it might ask Mr..
Fredrickson why he thought it
necessary to call Adjt. General
Walsh, from Escanaba, Mich, on
an early July date-before he Sc
cured a position on the relief
payroll! The committee will
find a record of that call on
Voucher No. AHA under date
of July 23. The long distance call
was made much earlier.
They might also ask Mr.. Fred
rickson how it happened to hap
pen that = his expense account
sheets show numerous taxicab
costs for three and five block
journeys while he was in Wash
ington, D. c., on official busi-
ness, as of eighty cents when ev-
eryone knows one can take a taxi
anywhere in the city of Wash
ington for sixty cents.
I just happen to have a small
set of carbon copies of Mr.. Fred
rickson's expense sheets and ]
marvel at the mans simplicity of
life-with very economical
lunch listed at $2.55. The COM
mittee could also ask the gentle
man to explain why his expense
vouchers began several weeks
prior to his connection with the
SER-A.
There are so many obvious err
rors in the administrations con-
duct of the State Emergency Re-
lief Administration that failure
to prove any would be a
Trojan task, while to investigate
them all would require longer
period of time than The governor
will be in office.
~t st.&sity.
suggest to the committee
that it cease puttering with con-
tractor Clarks and puzzling over
who bought the first forget-me-
not, and devote some active eff
fort in proving up on something
of value to the state.
Admitting that McAllister did
pay five dollars for that first
forget-ine-not and then what
happens? Nothing, minus. AS
a matter of fact he paid ten DOL
lars but what of it? He paid half
| of that ten spot out of his own
pocket and the other five came
from what every business firm
understands to be its "petty ex-
pense fund" And if he had
bought ten forget-me-nots at the
same price he would have been
guilty of nothing except a desire
to assist some disabled veteran.

he based his belief on q recent con-

Fechner, he said, was anxious that
the state be provided with additional
