home to his people, In previous ses-
siOns, under the same kind of control
as we may expect in the coming ses-
sion with Mr.. Dunn at the helm. he
and his reactionary associates, Willis
l. Norton, r. w. Hitchcock and others,
were able to block progressive legis-
lation in committee, and thereby pre-
vent a record vote on such measures
as the chain store tax bill and the
income tax law.
If. and when, George w. Johnson
becomes; Speaker of the House, he will
soon find himself in serious difficulty
if he attempts to interfere with the
program that lies in the back of the
head of Roy e. Dunn and the in
terests which supplied the munitions
of warfare to make the fight for the
control of the 1895 House of Repre-
sentatives. We want to believe that
George w. Johnson is honest; we want
to believe that he is fair; We want to
believe that he is progressive, but we
are not ready to believe this until his
committees are named. That he has
the men who permitted his indorse-
ment for speaker to go unchallenged
at the Ryan Hotel caucus was apparent
when Rollin G. johnson, a reactiOnary
of the old school who learned his pO-
itical philosophy on the knee Of Will
lis l. Norton, introduced and passed
a resolution limiting the committee
appointment powers Of the man who,
if he becomes speaker, will owe his
election to Mr.. Dunn and the group of
INSCRIPTIONS reactionaries who repre-
sent those vicious interests which for
many years successfully strangled
progressive legislation in the Mime
johnson is willing to pay this price
to be speaker of the House we hesitate
to believe.
Mr.. George w. johnson has, in past
sessions, tried to honestly represent
the district which has time and again
elected him to the Legislature: he is
a man of character and ability, and
unquestionably, if elected. will make
a fine presiding officer of the House.
But he owes a greater responsibility
than this to the people. If he has
the good judgment and the courage
that is needed in these trying times.
he will insist upon square deal for
the average citizen and taxpayer Of
this state, and he will resent any at
tempt on the part Of Mr.. Dunn and
the reactiOnary interests which he
(Mr. Dummy represents, to stack the
committees Of the House in the in
terest of special privilege.
The genuine progressives Of this
state, therefore. il fairness to Mr.
Johnson, should withhold their judg-
ment until he has acted.

in all the leading New York newspa-
pers, made desperate plea against
the threatened experiment in NUM-
cipal socialism" and laid the blame
for his company's high rates on ex-
cessive taxation. He asserted that the
operating taxes of the companies
which he represented were almost
nine times as high as in 1914 and rs
per cent higher than in 1928. He did
not deny, however, Commissioner Da-
Wilson's charge that in spite of tax
alton five of the principal electric
companies in the Consolidated Gas
System have paid a quarter of a bill
lion dollars in dividends to the parent
company during the past five years.
Thus while the utilities are on the
defensive as they have never been
since the development of their vast
interlocking empire, it is evident that
they are still wholly unrepentant. AL
though the Public Service Commission
has ordered a reduction of rates in
within the past eighteen months, the
companies have resorted to every con-
ceivable device to prevent the new
schedules from coming into effect.
Nothing short of a competing munich
pal plant is likely to bring them to
terms. Recognizing this, Mayor La
Guardia should allow nothing to de-
fleet him from his purpose. Even
though the resultant daily saving is,
as Mr.. McCarter asserts, LESS than the
cost of a package Of cigarettes" it is
right that the consumer should have
it rather than the group Of racketeers
who now dominate the industry.

1T MUST BE DECREASED

There are many times when we
wish to increase certain figures and
records but the traffic toll figure has
reached such proportions that the
trend must go the other way if it is
to be safe to drive a car or walk on
the highways.
According to the Traffic Safety
Manual just published for school use
by the safety division of the Mime
sofa Emergency Relief Administration
every 35 seconds, night and day, every
day in the year, person is injured
in an automobile accident in the Unit
ed States. The men, women and chill
dren killed every year in traffic acct
dents equal in number the combined
populations of the cities of Rochester
and Brainerd, or more than 10000.

than 10 per cent of American farms
have electricity. A tremendous field
awaits development, and he is prob
ably quite right in asserting that an
electritication program could be of the
highest social value.
At any rate the idea seems to
be spreading for now comes Sen. Hen
rik Shipstead. senior representative
from Minnesota in the upper house of
congress, with a plan for regional de-
velOpment of the northwest which has
for its principal aim the utilization
of water resources primarily to pro-
vide electric power. Sen. Shipstead
would do for this section of the nation
what Mr.. Lilienthal is doing for the
Tennessee valley.
The extent to which electricity is
not available to rural areas is really
a reflection on the power industry.
Here lies field, it would seem, which
could be entered at some profit, both
to the industries and to the nation.
The first cost is high, of course, but
the eventual returns ought to be good.
The fact that more has not been done
in this nation to make electricity
cheaper and of wider use, may, per-
haps, be laid to the very fact that
management has been more concerned
with easier returns from high rates
in congested communities.
1t may be that this disgraceful
slack in the use of electricity by all
the people will be taken up, now that
the federal government is interesting
itself in the problem. If the utilities
want to earn their right to stay in
the business, they will have to demon
strate the ability to meet this obvious
need.

ELECTRICITY FOR THE FARM
(The st. Paul Daily News)

David E. LilienthaL power director
of IVA, believes that the big city
jitters," which drew men and wealth
from the nations farms to the cities
for so many years. has about run its
course: and he suggests that one of
the best ways of killing it for good
is to go ahead with a brCad-guage
program for electrifcation of farms.
Even today, he points out fewer

the reply, "he is my brother" There
are duties which are pleasures, there
are tasks carried through with right
good will, there are deprivations and
hardships cheerfully endured. And
all because there is enthusiasm or
affection, idealism or devotion, patri-
otism or conservation in the toll or

The editor Of a paper in a neigh

the wedding OF a man and woman who
had both passed their 10th year, and
headed it "A Romantic Affair" The
intelligent compositor made it read
"A Rheumatic Affair."" and since the
paper came out the editor has taken
a few days vacation.

Fire At Mission
 Pilgrim Springs
 Morning May 10th

We were quietly sitting down in the play room sewing at II o'clock Friday May, 10th, when suddenly one of the girls gave the alarm: Fire on the roof" She looked very pale, repeated her words and rang the school bell and ran upstairs. As soon as the alarm was given every body-Sisters and children-put their work down. Some ran up- stai's to find out which part of the room was on fire. Some ran out side to get water; another one ram to ring the church bell to call every one to help. This also alarmed the Sisters and children who were in school at the time. The Brother and boys working outside also al, armed by the ringing of the bells at the unusual time ran home quickly.
 Meanwhile those that were al- ready in the house sought to con trol the fire. Rev, Father Menager. just getting up speech for Com mencement exercise for Igloo left has task immediately to help. He called for an axe and a fire exiting uiSher and set to work. Two of the girls climbed up to the attic, which was already filled with smoke. to which Rev. Father handed an eN- tinguiSher. While he with his axe cut hole in the ceiling to get at the flames, one Brother who being home and a visiting gueSt-Mr. Burnhardt from Teller rushed to the roof and began their work of controlling the fire. The children had formed line up the ladder and the buckets were handed up in rapid succession to Brother and Mir. Bern hardt who by their diligent work with an axe and water soon had the fire under control.
 Those who were not employed ir extinguiShing the fire went to the church to pray, and the others took out bedding, clothes arsd boxes filled with useful materials. The second story was practically empty ot chiIdren's belongings. We piled ev- erything on the board walk.
 We got all the fire extinguishers we had in the Mission and brought them to the place of disaster. We used ten of them.
 Damage done by the fire was con- siderable Lots of clothes were de stroyed.
 The pouring of the water on the roof and in the attic filled the dor.

 When the fire was extinguished and the danger seemed to be over we all sat down to our dinner. In the children's refectory the water was dripping down from the dorm- tory. We had to wipe the tables and benches and move them to plac- es where the water was not com ing down so considerably. Every body was tired,
 As soon as we had finished our meal we began to clean up and bring the things back to their proper places. This was very a difficult job, for the things having been thrown on top of each other, to dis tinguish the girls bedding from the boys, etc. One sister and a girl began to clean the dormitory. Two other Sisters and some children were sorting the clothes.
 Meanwhile Rev. Father Menager u Ir.+ r,x. la, ,ftarppop annonpt f. ment. When he came back Tn the evening and went to the dormitory to see how everything was fixed up he was surprised to find ii so we'll done. Everything was put in order in three hours and after a short lunch the girls went back to their ordinary work of mending cloth es.

We would have saved noth ing. But thanks to Gods powerful help. the children's prayers and the heroic work of all the people at the Mission, have saved our home.
