SPECIAL SESSION
Minnesota history shows that tn

Minnesota history shows that there
has been special sessions of the Leg
islature but once in seven or eight
years. The prolonged depression,
however. alters matters. A special
session of the Minnesota Legislature
was held in December of 1888 and it
now appears that another special ses-
sion will be held this fall, likely in
November and principally for the
purpose of changing Minnesota's so
cial security laws so that federal aid,
through the national law, may be Sc
cured in the North Star state.
The old age pension law is the one
especially that so many folks are con-
cerned about Old folks who need the
pension should have it. 1t removes
many of them from the dole or re-
lief rolls and in cases where they
have some employment, it gives that
much more employment to younger
folks. The old age pension is a
humanitarian act; it is needed and
has been delayed long enough.
There has been some talk of open
ing up the tax question at the COM
ing special session of the Minnesota
Legislature. If that is done, it will
not be a short session. Leaders may
however get together and decide on
certain definite proposed legislation
and limit it to that.

PARTY LOYALTY

ITO the victor belongs the sroils,"
is the old saying in political circles.
In other words if the Republicans
win, the Republicans get the appoint
ments; if Democrats win, they get
the appointments; and if Farmer
Laborites win, they are to hold the
reins
That kind of politics may be car
ried too far but on the other hand
sometimes is not carried far enough.
III it is just a case of giving a job
to a party worker even if he is not
capable of fulfilling the position. it
is carrying politics too far.
The first consideration must at all
times be fitness for office. However,
as rule there are men and women
in any political party who can fill
the positions where appointments are
to be made. Deserving party work.
ers, able to fill the bill should be
given consideration before men and
women of other political parties.
Such appointments make for greater
loyalty to the head of the department,
closer adherence to the principles of
the party voted in by the people, bet
ter cooperation, and better under
standing all around.
Newcomers in politics or those who
have given little thought or study to
it. may maintain that a political
leader is a person of fairness and
judgment and is a big man because
he selects appointees from different
political parties. They are too inno-
cent to know that in most cases such
selecting of persons from all political
parties is done by the leader for his
own political advancement, and he is
not working nearly as much for the
political party of which he is a mem
Der as he is working for himself.
No man is greater than the party
or the principles for which the party
stands. The individual may be here
today and gone tomorrow, the prin-
ciples live on.
If the governor of the state is a
Republican, it is not a Republican
administration when his appointees
are FarmerLabOrites and Democrats
If the governor is a Democrat the
administration is not Democratic
when his appointees are Republicans
and Farmer-Laborites.
If the governor is a member of the
Farmer-Labor party his administra-
ton is not Farmer-Labor when the
appointments are largely Republicans
and Democrats.

E. G.. HALL RETIRES
(The Minnesota Union Advocate)

(The Minnesota Union AdvOcate)
The retirement of E. G. Hall from
the presidency of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor this week marks
the close of a lifetime service to a
movement he loved with all his
heart. He has stepped aside after
more than quarter century of ac-
tivity because the years have become
heavy and the robust strength of yes
terday is gone.
1t is always lamentable when an
old battler is forced to leave the
fight, and in the case of E. G. Hall it
is doubly So Throughout his long
service to the Labor movement he
demonstrated, time and again, a 10y
atty to the cause of those who toll.
No one ever questioned his fealty nor
his devotion to the principles of Or
ganized Labor, and when errors were
made the rank and file realized that
they were errors of the head and not
of the heart. '@i'
1t is hoped that the remaining years
will deal gently with this old cham
pion of human rights, that he will
regain his health and that his twi-
light hours will be blessed with the
memories which crowd life devoted
to his fellowmen. '.+

OPERATING EXPENSES
(The Minnesota Union Advocate

(The Minnesota Union Advocate)
During the recent hearings of the
senate lobby committee Investigating
the activities of the power trust to
defeat the Wheeler-Rayburn utilities
bill, Chairman Hugh Black asked
some very embarrassing questions OF
John w. Carpenter, president of the
Texas Power & Light Company. Car
penter was very red of face when Sen
ator Black forced him to admit he
had made a trip to Washington to OPP
pose the holding company bill.
Who paid the expenses of that
trip" Senator Black asked.
THE Texas Power & Light Com
pany," said Carpenter.
What was it charged to-" asked
the senator.
Operating expenses" said the wit
ness.
This particular trip cost S1,467.S7.
Another trip cost S1,935.43, and still
another item listed and charged to
charged to operating expenses" In
other words, these items were added
to the bills which customers of
the Texas Power & Light Company
had to pay.
1t ought to be clear to everyone
of a utility company is nothing short
of fraud on the stockholders of the
company or on the cOnsumers-if not
both. If rates are fair, the net profits
belong to the stockholders; if rates
are too high they should be reduced
and refunds given to the consumers
But in no event has the management
of the power company the right to
spend money on what is essentially d
political campaign.
There is nothing especially alarm
ing in the revelation Carpenter made
before the senate committee. Every
student of municipal ownership is
aware of the fact that the power
trust charges everything from club
membership fees to church contribu-
tions to operating expense" The
Northern States Power Company in 81.
Paul has never denied it; it's manage
ment has admitted it.
Yet there are those well-meaning
people who will defend the power
trust and condemn municipal owner

torial expressions of newspapers like

patch to use as tear gas gun when
ever the question of public ownership

MUST BE CHANGED
(Mille Laos County Times)

Nothing is more clear to those who
have studied the matter than that
the United States cannot continue
along the line OF progress without
the constitution is changed to meet
the changing conditions. 1t has been
changed in the past. and must be
changed as needed in the future.
The constitution as originally writ
ten by our fOrefathers did not provide
for freedom of speech. 1t did not
grant religious liberty. There was
nothing in it against the practice of
slavery. Nothing in it to prevent
search and sizure at the within and
caprice of public officials. Nothing
about it that would prevent a citizen
from being deprived of his life OF
property without due process of law.
Nothing there to provide for fair and
speedy trials of the accused in GRIM
inal actions. or to prevent cruel and
unusual punishments. Nothing in it
to preserve the rights of states. No
woman had a right to vote under it.
The above is few of the things
that were not contained in the origi-
nal constitution. In fact the changes

WHY HIDE?

You have heard the cry on the part
of big utility corporations against tax
ing them which they declare would
and orphans" who hold stock in the
corporations.
How about the widows and or
phanS" who held stock in the insult
interests? We're they taxed by the
government or were their interests
just simply wiped out by the money
manipulators at the head of those
corporations? There was no shedding
of tears on the part of the crooks
within the law when the widows and
orphans" lost their savings with those
financial monsters.
To add insult to injury one need
only to read about Howard C. Hopson,
the public utility holding company
magnate. who evaded subpoena serv-
ers until the trail got too hot for him.
Hopson said before the Senate in
investigating committee that in five
years his private companies had made
profits of over three million dollars
out of transactions mostly with the
American Gas & Electric Company of
which he was the head. For some
years during that time. Hopson tes-
titled. the American Gas & Electric
Company paid no dividends to their
stockholders.
Hopson is the same man who to-
gether with otNers conducted a news
paper advertising campaign against
the utility bill for the elimination Of
holding companies. He begged Con-
eress to refrain from damaging the
investments of widows and orphans"
In the language of Shakespeare
there must be something rotten in
Denmark" when man of great
wealth wilfully hides and tries to get
out of telling his story before the Sem
ate investigating committee.
orphans and widows" should not
be taken into consideration in taxing
this wealth of three million dollars
secured by Hopson through the hold
ing companies. At this distance it
looks as if there would be absolutely
no injury done if the government
took the entire three million dollars,
for certainly he is crook within
the law. He has of course had a
hand in making or upholding the
utility companies law with its blessed
holding companies closely and rever-
emily protecting the poor widows and
orphans
Shielding behind this widows and
orphans" camouflage is like a flag
waver or crook furling the American
flag about himself
