State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

Facts surrounding the controversy
between liberal student groups at the
University of Minnesota and E. E.
Nicholson, dean of student affairs,
growing out of impOunding OF mail
sent students by the Progressive
Council. indicates that university au-
thorities are conducting campaign
against liberal campus activities.
Liberals cannot let this go unchal-
lenged. How far does the campaign
go? Is Dean Nicholson carrying out
orders from higher up? These are
valid questions justified by both pres
ent and past events.
The people have a right to know
not only how the University is con-
Quoted but in whose interest it is
being conducted. A university adj
ministration has the right to resent
interference from any group in its
efforts to serve the purposes OF true
education, but we know something in
this country of how powerful money
interests defeat these purposes.
President Coffman has repeated
complained against activities of what
he terms pressure groups" but he
has yet to classify the Minnesota Law
and Order League, of which Dean
Nicholson is a prime mover. as a
pressure group" Neither has he
complained about the militarists. His
pressure groups" are always of lib
eral hue.
Persons close to the University say
that the antagonism and persecution
of liberal students and liberal student
groups extend also to antagonism ard
persecution of liberal faculty mem
bers. If such is the case, the situa-
ton is serious, and immediate steps
must be taken to remedy it.

According to a study made by Farm
Research, an independent agency, 40
per cent of the farms in the United
States in 1895 included less than 6
per cent of all farm land. whereas
4 per cent of the largest farms in
cluded more than 40 per cent Of all
farm land. This shows that the trend
of concentration of wealth in Amer
lea in the hands of the few is true
also of concentration of farm lands
in the hands of the few.
Concentration of farm land in the
hands of the large owners, according
to Farm Research, has been progress
sing steadily since 1900. The situa-
ton is a serious one and If permitted
to continue eventually there will be
no such thing in America as the
independent farmer operating his own
farm. For that reason the movement
to obtain federal legislation which will
enable the tenant farmer to purchase
the land he is operating under long
time easy payments with Low rates
of interest, is of tremendous import
ance. Every effort should be exerted
to see that this movement succeeds.

For too long the judiciary has been
in the hands of men with an out
NODDED point of view or those whose
interest is definitely on the side of
property and wealth. People have
demanded laws; legislators have
passed them. only to find the courts
declaring them invalid. Strikers have
been intimidated, peaceful picketing
prevented, and professional strike
breakers protected by judicial fiat
Unless we have judges whose concern
is not wealth but general welfare we
can look to difficulties in any liberal
program.
For that reason the appointment of
Municipal Judge Vince A. Day of Min
neapolis to the Hennepin County Dis
trict Court bench is a very whole
some thing. Judge Day. who has spent
virtually his entire life in the liberal
movement, was formerly private Sec
rotary to the late Governor Olson. He
is man not only of advanced social
point of view but feels very keenly
that our laws should be made flexible
enough to meet the needs of modern
social and economic conditions.
Farmers in the state are greatly
concerned about the cutting from
WPA rolls of 10000 of their number
who will have to face the sub-zerO
weather with no adequate means OF
subsistence.
An attempt to cushion the blow
was made by announcement that the
Resettlement Administration would
care for the "neediest" cases. How
ever, the Resettlement Administra-
ton plans to care for only third
of those who are now on WPA rolls
and the others face the winter with
nothing in the house and no job MOI
chance to get one. Even those who
are fortunate enough to transfer to
the Resettlement Administration lists
will receive from SIS to $23 month
about half what they have been
getting.
John Bosch, national and state pres.
ident of the Farmers Holiday Associa-
ton, has wired Harry Hopkins, fed

parts of the state registered their in
dignation at being thus summarily cut
from WPA rolls.
