BILL TOPURCHASE
FARMS ENDORSED
Group Backs Bankhead
Measure to Aid
Tenants.

The Bankhead Jones bill to finance
tenants in the purchase Of farm lands
was unanimously Endorsed by the Ma
tional Committee on Small Farm
Ownership shortly before the commit
tee adjourned its meeting at noon to
press for Senate action on the bill
later today.
A score of leading farm experts,
editors Of agricultural journals, social
workers and educators composing the
committee, heard an address this
morning by Senator Bankhead Of Ala
bama, one of the sponsors Of the bill,
who predicted it would pass the Sen
ate today.
The far-reaching provisions of the
measure, expected to affect 100000
farm tenant families during q long
program Of rehabilitation, were dis
cussed by committee members meet
ing at the Bookings Institution. DR..
Edwin r. Embree, president Of the
committee, and DR.. w. w. Alexander,
director Of the Commission on In
terracial Cooperation, presided at the
sessions this morning.
Diversification Aid Seen.
Opinions were expressed that the
bill would reduce overproduction Of
money" crops, such as cotton and
wheat, and promote Investigation or
subsistence farming. It was said that
landlords bring pressure on their ten
ants to concentrate on money" crops.
The rowing farm tenant, who moves
at least every few years, leaving be-
hind a farm from which he has ex-
hausted every possible resource, was
described as one of the greatest evils
Of agriculture in the United States.
mo greater problem confronts our
rural community than the persistent
growth Of farm tenancy" said Frank
Tannenbaum Of the research depart
ment, Brookings Institution, who es-
timated there were at least 100000
tenant families in the United States.
Peril Seen in Tendency.
Nearly one-half of all our farm
ers are now tilling land owned by
Others" Tannenbaum continued. land
II the present tendency toward con-
verting the independent farmer into
a dependent and propertyless tenant
continues then we must abandon
hope Of achieving a stable and pro-
gresive rural civilization"
Other speakers this morning in
cluded Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace, Kirk Rankin, editor of the
Southern Agriculturist, and M. w.
Thatcher Of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union Of America.

COUNTY SPLITS
With n. R. S.
Commissioners Pasich Opens Up
Discussion In His Criticism
of the System.

The county commissioners at their
meeting Friday, in surprise move,
voted TO quit providing funds for the
National Unemployment Service.
Commissioner Pasich opened up dis
cuSSion on the subject when he crtti-
cized the system whereby the county
supplies the major portion OF the funds
for its upkeep and the Federal govern
ment operates it. Municipalities which
do not contribute as much as the
county towards the upkeep of the
agency seem to have considerable influ-
ence with the service, Pasich charged.
'AS long as the federal government
sees fit to run Il, the government should
supply the funds. The federal govern
ment can put In request for project
and maintain the offices" Pasich added.
The action Of the board came as a
surprise and was brought to the at
tention when salesman for type
writer concern said that the county was
paying $40 q year rent for each Of three
typewriters used by the Virginia Office.
His offer 10 sell the machines to the
county at SAB each was accepted by the
commissioners.
PaSich further made the statement
that the range Office was hiring outside
labor on county PwA projects. He
stated that capable men on the range
have been idle while skilled workers
came from outside points 30 work ON
the projects.
While this may have been the case IN
one or two instances at other places
Tom Hewett, with offices in the city
hall in Ely, told Miner reporter yes
terday that this was not the case in
Ely or the district he controls from his
Office.
The MRS stats are paid a salary by
She government while the county and
the municipalities stand the expense OF
building rental, telephone and travelling
expenses for the investigators within
the county, some materials and some
miscellaneous expenses.
Ely is paying the expenses Of the
Office here, all but the salary Of Mr.
Hewett and his travelling expenses while
on a case. The city has supplied the
Office with rent Of a roo>n in the city
hall, filing cabinets and other neces-
sites. Eveleth, Hibbing and Virginia
are doing likewise and are contributing
TO the upkeep Of the agencies.
What the effect Of the withdrawal
of the county fund will have on the
conduct of the MRS offices in the county
can not be surnised at the present
time. Throughout the state, counties
have supported the offices which make
all job requirements on government
work relief projects in addition to
private placements.

"YOU BET YOUR LIFE"

Swivel Chair Philosopher C. c. Peter
son at Grand Rapids, wrote as follows
last week in the Itasca County indie
pendent:
"You bet your life"
This favorite expression so often
heard, usually from the third or fourth
grader, has at last become reality.
If you drive an automobile, if you
occasionally ride in someone else's car,
or even if you walk along the public
highway, you bet your life, seemingly,
every few minutes.
In every other gamble there is sup
posed chance to win occasionally. You
will lose and try over again and lose
some more. In this game you lose only
once-you won't have another chance.
You bet your life-When you pass a
car while approaching the crest OF a
hill.
You bet your lfe-When you pass
car ON curve.
You bet your hfe-When you pass a
car at a crossing.
You bet your Hfe-When you pass
car that is going to make a left turn.
You bet your life-When you pass
car anywhere that you can not see 800
feet ahead of you an open road.
You bet your life-When you drive on
to a highway without stopping, looking
and watching.
You bet your Ife-When you ap-
preach a side or crossroad at a speed
where you can not stop inside the space
where a car might appear.
You bet your life-When you drive at
a speed so that you can not stop N case
of blowout.
You bet your life-When you drive
along a grade or a ditch at speed so
YOU can not stop if anything happens.
You bet your Efe-When you meet a
drunken driver.
You bet your life-When you orlnk
intoxicants before or while driving.
You bet your Efe-When you make a
left turn without signaling.
You bet your life-When you meet or
pass a driver who cannot control his
car
You bet your life-When you cross q
railroad without stopping.
You bet your hfe-When you drive
fast around a sharp curve.
You bet your nfe-And You viii never
lose a second time.

PETERSON Will
TRYF0R SENATE
Minnesota Attorney General to
Seek Senatorial Seat at
Next Election.

According 10 the Minneapolis Trib-
une, Attorney General Harry H. Peter
son stepped into the U. s. Senatorial
picture Saturday in proposal to enter
the campaign as an Independent.
That he is considering the move was
revealed by close friends who claimed
for him support not only in his own
Farmer-Labor party, but in the Repub-
hcan and Democratic as well, according
to the Tribune. A group of Democrats
is understood to have pledged him sup
port already.
Heretofore regarded as candidate
for reelection or possibly the governor
ship, the Tribune says the attorney
generals moves are creating numerous
headaches" IN the Farmer-Labor
leadership. With Governor Floyd B.
Olson a certain senatorial aspirant on
the Farmer-Labor ticket, party chiefs
would prefer to keep Peterson in his
present position and throw the COVER
norship nomination to Elmer A. Ben
son, the banking commissioner.
