claiming any laws or any government
DEGREES which come into conflict with
those three fundamental needs, detri-
mental to society.
Any money system which hampers
the full use of the product of labor
in the form of food, clothing and shell
ter, or any government system which
destroys them regardless of whether
the peoples needs are taken care of
or not; or commits the blunder OF
trying to make insufficient amount of
currency take care of an ever in
creasing exchange or trade by pol
icy of making those basic needs cost
lier or harder to produce, will need
a fascist dictatorship to bolster it up.
For this reason it is worth the read
ers' attention that the Farmer-Labor
party comes out for a program of
abundance instead of a program of
scarcity.
1t shows that this party recognizes
the futility of trying to starve our
selves into prosperity. There can
never be prosperity in any other way
than by producing plenty for every
one.
The farmers and workers are will
ling and able to do their part. In the
mountains and valleys of our great
country are the raw materials for
unlimited production; these are the
two necessary factors for meeting the
needs of society. Between the two
factors, labor and materials, stands a
third factor; this factor is only partly
visible, that is why we do not see
this factor alike. The minute we
could all see the true identity of this
factor our problems of continued un-
limited production would be solved.
Let's forget the minor issues of
tariffs and other empty tin cans which
the two capitalist parties are making
campaign noises on, and concentrate
on finding and identifying this factor.
1t is my opinion, based on deep
study, that our money system" and
production for profit system" is
wrong, is outlived, and that this is
the detrimental factor standing be-
tween the other two factors; that for
this reason we are in a period of stag
nation which we won't come out of
until we meet the issues squarely in
stead of beating around the bush like
the two capitalist parties are doing at
the bidding of the money kings.
Whatever the shortcomings of the
Farmer-Labor party's program might
be, they at least understand the funda-
mental needs of society and come out
against destroying food, cotton and
other raw materials. On this founda-
ton real peoples party can be built.
If the Farmer-Labor party had
chosen to run a national ticket this
year. it is my belief that the money
kings would have gotten the worst
scare they have had since the days
of Abraham Lincoln.

REMAINING MINNESOTA LAKES

REMAINING MINNESOTA LAKES
(The st. Paul Pioneer Press)
At last steps are being taken to
correct the repetition of lake names
in Minnesota. The state conservation
commission is asking legislative au-
thority to re-christen the numerous
Long Lakes and Mud Lakes which at
present adorn our map.
There are more than 100 names of
Minnesota lakes repeated five times
or more. This is constant source
of confusion and has become increas-
ingly so in recent years as roads de-
veloped and a particular Clear Lake
or Round Lake became known outside
its immediate vicinity. The lack of
variety in these names can, of course,
be accounted for by the very abun-
dance of these bodies of water. There
were not enough names to go around.
Moreover, the nomenclature of the
pioneer seems to have been distress
ingly limited and the body of water
at his doorstep nine times out of ten
had to be content with being called
Mud, Long. Clear, Round, Rice, Bass,
Twin, Sandy, Pine, or something
equally as unOriginal and uninspir-
ing.
Fortunately the conservation COM
mission is not only concerned with
eliminating repetitions, but will also
seek the appropriate, interesting, and
desirable when the remaining process
begins. Minnesota lakes are too beau
tiful to bear dull and unflattering
names.
