HOLIDAY WIRES
AMBASSADORS ON
FASCIST MOVES

The following telegram was
sent to the German Ambassador
at Washington, D. c. after an
nouncement Of official recogni-
ton of Franco as the government
of Spain. A similar one was sent
tn the Italian Ambassador.
To the German Ambassador,
Washington, D. c.
The National Farmers HOli-
day Association strongly pro-
tests the action of your govern
ment in giving official recOgni-
ton to the fascist German Fran
cisco Franco, as the official go
vernment Of Spain.
We regard this action as a dis
avOwal of the right of the major
itv of the people of a country ia
have q government Of their own
choosing. This historic right Is
one most precious to the Ameri-
can people.
By this action of your govern
ment you endorse a military in
surrectiOn of a minority of the
Spanish people and are thereby
aiding the forces of oppression
autOcracy and deDOtism, and at
tacking the people of the world
We call upon you as an officia
representative of the German 90
veTnment to withdraw recognition
Of the fascist insurrectiOn and t
continue recognition of the demo
cratically elected government o
the Spanish people.

Roosevelt Proves Good
Friend to Farmers
By ARTHUR HOPKINS

MINNEAPOLIS. = Farmers
who voted Historically for Roose-
velt on the implication-not the
promise - that he was their
''friend," and that relief would
NOT be cut are receiving the
same rude awakening from their
blissful trust that the American
unemployed workers are exper-
iencing. On Dec. Is an executive
WPA order goes into effect
smashing at over 100000 farmers
in seven Northwest states. Farm
ers on WPA farm relief projects,
now receiving S40-$5O a month,
will be placed on the Resettle
ment Administration projects
where their pay will be cut to 500
per month. Because this after
administration has much less
funds to operate with, it is ex-
pected that not over 5000 of the
"neediest" can be cared for, as
compared with the peak WPA
farm relief load of 324,295 in
this area.
The states involved are Mime
J sofa, Iowa, North and South Oak
ota. Wisconsin, Michigan and Ne
braska, with possibly even more
states involved. Local unemployed
organizations are waging a vigor'
GUS protest against this uncon-
Rcionable order which will parti
eularly affect the poorest farm
ers and the farm laborers. Th'
Federal Section Of Local 544
composed of WPA workers in tn
Twin Cities and the state. tn
Workers Alliance and the Farm
Holiday Association are protest
ing the order, which follows o.
the heels of the u. S. Chambe
Of Commerce demand that a
federal aid to the unemploye
and the needy be cut off. Their
is a prospect that many mas
demonstrations will be hel
throughout the affected area t
force the government to with
draw this order. The first demon
stration will be held at the stat
WPA offices in st. Paul an
others are sure to follow.

to pass. The reason for this is that
the Masters know that there is
quite an initiation Of credit and
currency due to the spread among
the masses Of the Soldiers Bonus
Of Two Billion Dollars. Before
this all gets back into the bank
vaults small property owners
might actually gets some Of il to
use in emancipating themselves
from the slavery Of old tax delin-
quencieS.
But as to relieving the cause
OF this recurring destruction Of
the small taxpayer, neither the
governor nor any bloc Of his sup
pOrters in the House will give
themselves any serious concern.
The amendaemnt Of one word in
the classification statute would
solve most Of the tax problems OF
the small urban and rural proper
ty owner. Where the present act
classifies for assessment the pro-
perty of telephone, telegraph
railroad, power. gas, etc. corpora
tions at ''fOrty" per cent Of It's
actual value. write zone hundred
instead 0f "fOrtv". Il would YIELD
five million dollars more per yeal
from those who can pay.
The governor will not ever
dare propose his in any message
He will propose q measure 70 ex
emDt homes Of a valu Of $3.50
or less from all taxation. It vii
not Dass at this session. Hi
friends will not permit this gran,
campaign slogan to he lost 70
the future by enacting it int
law.
! He will propose q statute to re
quire the utilities to be value
the same for taxation and 70
fixing rates to patrons. This wi
fail OF passage for two sufficier
reasons. One, the governors ad
herents, campaign financiers, II
r terested in the utilities will NJ
let it pass Two, there are alread
plenty Of laws on the books no
to require this. The fault liz
