MINNESOTA NEWS AND
COMMENT
BY r. w. Hitchcock


Rural Minnesota swung sharply
away from the Farmer-Labor party
in the 1884 election; there is evil
dence that the movement has con-
tinued and that it is today gaining
new momentum. In the three big
counties, however. the labor vote
last year pumped enthusiastically
for Floyd B. Olson, and the Farm
er-Labor party. Labor, thoughtful
observers believed, was singularly
short-sighted to its real, final in
terest. Now, therefore, there Is
striking evidence that labor Is
joining it's farmer friends in look
ing askance at barren promises
and perverted performances.
Many labor leaders were alive to
the situation even before 1884, and
saw clearly the mistake that labor
was making by turning against its
real friends under the blandish-
ments of honeyed words and a mis-
taken class partisanship which act
ually took jobs away and set back
the clock of true labor progress.
1t has been a familiar Farmer
Labor alibi that the party has had
no legislative control and so could
not produce results. But in 1888
the Farmer-Labor group controlled
the Lower House Of the Minnesota
Legislature. What was its records
President E. G.. Hall, Of the Min
nesota Federation Of Labor, In his
report on the legislative session,
pointed out that fourteen labor
bills which passed the so-called
"reactionary" Senate failed Of pas
sage in the so-called liberal
House. Here they are as listed by
President Hall:
s. F. 563 and H. r. TOO, adding
definition to the term minor" in
the minimum wage law.
8. F. 2s9 and H. f. 1913, requiring
employers to give notice to en-
ployees concerning certain condi-
tions Of employment.
s. F. 621, requiring employers to
give advance notice Of discharge
to employees who have been in
their service 6 months.
8. F. 281 and II. F. 325, relating
to deductions from wages.
s. F. GAL and H. F. 751. relating
to violations of the minimum wage
law, recalled from the Senate after
1t had passed there and allowed to
die In the House.

to amount which employer shall

of the state is paid, has changed
from a balance on hand of some
thing more than $1,000, 900 to a de-
ficit Of over $10,0O0,OO0. Which
means that the state is $4,000, 900
in the red as compared with eight
years ago.-Eveleth Clarion.
Potato Market Not Glutted Here
One of the most amazing state
ments that has come from a state
department Of late is that issued by
the department Of agriculture to
the effect that the potato market
in the sandland district, in the
area between Minneapolis and
Princeton, Is glutted.
Potatoes, with the exception Of
those grown on the peat lands
northeast Of the village, are a
scarce article in this section Of the
state. There IL practically no pota-

threatening the end of industry In
the chief manufacturing center of
the northwest, exacting a fearful
toll Of loss and misery from the
union men who had no grievance
and ruthlessly doing to their death
innocent persons, Is a healthful
sign Of the times. In swiftly out
having the union from which the
strikes and their disorders eman-
ated, the Federation has no little
heartened Minnesota. Labor's sim
cere desire to set its house in or
der wins not only the plaudits of
the people and the grateful appre-
citation of employers, but 1t will in
cline the peoples representatives
to lend an even more friendly ear
to labor's needs and demands.
Nothing in all his administration
has so become Floyd B. Olson as
the pig with which he threw the
Iowa governor for a loss and jolt
ed that gentleman back toward
sanity. No foolin'l The play was
perfectly timed. Just as Iowa and
Minnesota were lined up ready to
bloody each others heads, Cover
nor Olson hurled a perfect hawg
and the war was over. You can't
fight while you are holding your
sides with laughter.
It Is some compensation to all
dumb animals, both brute and hui
man, that, although a cow burned
up Chicago, a hawg kept Minneso-
ia and Iowa out of war.

ture is limited as to its length and

take measures to limit both the
time of sitting and the matters to

that self-interest descends upon

Play Politics With the Fish, But Do Not
Fool the Publici

Can it be possible that Sank Lake has been made
political football2 1t very much at least
the recent actions of the Fish and Game department
smack very much of political chicanery.
After announcing early this fall that owing to
the depleted condition of Sank Lake the lake would
be closed to all manner of netting and winter fish

opened the lake to whtefsh netting. The Herald has
opposition to whtefsh netting, if held strictly to
Lake fact which can be proven when the nets
pulled This fact is also borne out by the Game War
dens, who state that only few whtefish found in
the nets, while pickerel Great Northern Pike are
taken in abundance
Our contention has been proven true that game

district announced the opening day that he had
taken into custody three men, who had many pick

the men are, for that doesn't alter the one Bit
Reports also come to our office that fish taken
from Sank Lake were sold in nearby communities
during the past wnter-also a violation of the game
laws This does not set well with the conservation

whose only desire is to keep Sank Lake good lake

the department gets money than from special
privilege licenses.

critics most of them led by some
of our best people, will be exceed
ingly difficult completely to repul-
se.
1.-THE homestead exemption law
lightens the burden for homestead
owners, but shifts the burden on to
business property In a way that Is
staggering to the growth Of the
towns and cities" This Is not the
statement Of a "reactionary poll
tician" but Of that militantly radi-
cal statesman, Senator Fay Crav-
ems, publisher of the Milaca Times.
The homestead exemption law
was hailed as a major relief to the
poor man, but 1t is questionable
whether, like so much ballyhooed
political medicine, 1t Is not doing
him more injury than good. When
homesteads were exempted in Min
neapolis the tax rate was promptly
forced up from II mills to 90 mills,
and more than one-haff Of the pro-
missed benefit was lost. A similar
increase in the tax rate inevitably
occurred elsewhere, both in town
and country. The hoped-for benefit
was thereby to a large extent de-
feated; also as cited by Senator
Cravens, Farmer-Labor leader, an
additional burden was piled on all
other property which was tended
to discourage and restrict industry
and consequently to prevent en-
ployment. 1t Is a close question
whether the poor man would not
be better off without his highly
touted homestead exemption.
The homestead exemption act
was placed on the statute books Of
Minnesota in 1888 after its praises
had been extravagantly sung in the
campaign Of 1882. After two years
Of trial, results were so unsatisfac-
tory that no sustained or serious
effort was made to extend the
m easure, as had been promised, In
the 1895 session.

Here's How About the County Fair!

Officers and directors Of the Stearns County Fair
were surprised at the editorial How About County
Fair?" which appeared in the ST. Cloud Times of
Saturday, November % It is based wholly upon mis-
information and coming from the Times, always
staunch booster Of the fair has given for
alarm in this part Of the county The editorial fol-
lows:
The Stearns county fair officials are dis
couraged. They have worked hard, tried some
new ways, and yet find the association in
debt, and to them the future is not promising
and they all want to quit, and turn the fair
over to new blood.
The Chamber of Commerce appointed
committee to make investigations to see what
could be done. 1t is not ready to make a def
mite proposal, but that may come in time.
If the fair is worth saving and
of the opinion it is, St Cloud the greatest
beneficiary, should get behind it, and make 1t
of the leading annual fall attractions in
the state. This can be done If st. Cloud has
the right spirit of cooperation If anything
is to be done, 1t should be taken up at once
There Is not too much time to make plans
for the next fair.
The above article is unfair for the truth of the
matter is that the fair officials discouraged.
