In the State Political Arena

Minnesota by the state highway
department in taking over 4,5OC
miles of county roads," N. w. Els
berg, state highway commissioner
declared this week. He pointed out
that these roads formerly were
supported in large measure by
local taxation. The highway de-
partment, he said, now administers
a system of 11,340 miles with less
funds than were previously spent
on only $500 miles.
A writer in the. New York Post
proves that Governor Landon Is,
after all, communist, and that he
and his fellow Kansan, Browder,
are two comrades with but single
mind and purpose. After proving
his case with apparent logic he
asks: SILLY? OF course silly, but no
more silly than the charge that
Roosevelt is a communist"

the republicans did. Inasmuch a.
the construction costs from 1881 u
1886 were much less than In the ten
year period preceding, great deal
more work should have been done
with the same money.
Had not highway millions been
spent to the utmost extent for
building farmer-labor party fences
rather than for building Minnesota
roads, highway construction in the
last six years, with more than
twice the funds available, should
have been many hundreds of miles
greater than it was.
In 1884 highway area foremen
were appointed in each of the 81
counties of the state. Letters were
sent to these county area foremen
by the farmer-labor Big Three, in
forming them that their duties
were largely to build up the farmer
labor party. 1t is the universal tes-
timony from all parts of the state
that these 81 area foremen have
done little outside of campaigning
and other party work. They are
paid by the taxpayers of the state;
they work for the farmer-labor par
ty.
One of the most shameful abuses
of the farmer-labor control of the
highway department has been the
exploitation of the men who are
to work on the roads.
Many of these men receive as lit
tie as IS cents per hour for a week
of 80 hours, or $3.50 per week.
These are starvation wages. They
are paid by party whose heart
bleeds for the poor man. What ar
rant hypocrisy!
Starvation wages are only a part
of the story. These workers at
$3.50 per week, many Of them
with families to support, are set
upon by farmer-labor with all sorts
of schemes for party and personal
every one of which
schemes takes from the worker a
portion of the scanty wages allot-
ted him.
One of these schemes which has
been widely worked Is insurance.
Accredited party workers round up
whole crews Of highway workers
and, by combination of specious
reasoning and bulldozing, persuade
the men to take out insurance
which they do not want and which
s OF very questionable value.
A labor party that gratis the
paid of all its laborers!

FARNIER-LABOR
By A. I. Harris

Senator Benson proved himsel
a good prophet when he predicted
that the Republicans can be de
pended upon to trot the old rec
scare" out before the campaign
draws to an end.
The Republicans should know BY
this time that the red scare
scares nobody any longer-no1
even the Republicans. One would
think that political history of re-
cent years in Minnesota would
teach them something, but it does
not. They still are of the opinion
that we are living in the war-hys-
terra period.
They say that the Old Guard dies
but never surrenders. The Minneso-
ia Old Guard says: I'VE will never
surrender to an intelligent discus
sion of issues"
Jim Reed, Americas vituperator
No. 1, came to Minnesota, delivered
an excoriation of President Roose-
welt and the Farmer-Labor party,
and departed, leaving Republicans
here gnashing their teeth because
lue was wv 10" 4oL
public consumption.
Reed never was charged with
taking the truth too seriously. Like
the Hearst editor, he believes that
the truth should never interfere
with the story. Among other things,
he said: "Iundeen Congressman
Ernest Lundeen) voted and con-
sistently refused appropriations
for ammunition, food and supplies
to sustain the American boys who
were battling upon the fields of
France during the World War;"
It is true that Congressman
Lundeen was one of those courag-
eous men who voted against the
war, but once war was declared he
did not stand in the way of its
successful prosecution.
Ernest was not in the city when
Reed delivered his harangue, but
his brother Dave was. He sent
Reed the following telegram, while
the Missouri Senator was still on
the platform. The telegram read:
LAS a World War veteran and bro
Their of Ernest Lundeen I demand
a public apology of your base
falsehood that Ernest voted against
the appropriations during the
World War. Ernest Lundeen fought
for the World War veteran during
the war and after the war as no
other man in Congress. When did
you serve your country in time of
war? And what gives you the right
to question the loyalty of a man
who offered his life for his country
in time of war;"
Reed did not answer.
After the speech, some Of the
Republican leaders were quite ner-
vous They told Reed his re-
marks about Lundeen were in err
ror. But Reed never detracts, nor
does he apologize. He did not in
this case.
Efforts were made to have tina.
part of Reeds speech deleted in
the newspaper reports. Hysterical
voices called busy (maybe drowsy)
city editors. But it was too late.
The speech had been sent in In ad-
vance of it's delivery and had al
ready been printed. The milk was
split, and there was no use crying
in public over 1t. The best was
made of a very bad situation.
Literally millions of dollars have
been saved for the taxpayers Of

MISREPRESENTATION
BY r. w. Hitchcock

The Minnesota State highway de-
partment has more money to
spend than all other departments
and functions of the state govern
ment put together.
Other departments are rigidly
regulated by legislative control.
The highway department spends
when, where and as it pleases.
So fancy free in spending mil
lions is the highway department
that Attorney General Harry H.
Peterson actually denied in court
the right, even of the courts, to
check in any way the departments
action.
For ten years under republican
control this department was so ad-
ministered that not a breath of
scandal touched it. It's funds were
used solely for highway purposes.
Its overhead costs were rigidly cur
tailed. The character and extent of
its highway construction, with COM
paratively limited funds, attracted
the attention and the admiration of
the whole United States. So highly
satisfactory were highway results
under that ten years of republican
administration that farmer-labor
felt compelled in it's successful cam
paign of 1880 to pledge itself to
continue in office the republican
highway commissioner.
For ten years the administration
of the highway department was
clean as a hounds tooth.
In six years farmer-labor has so
smeared the department with the
pitch of politics that the primary
purpose of all highway millions is
the building of political machine
and road building is only second
airy. The Minnesota state highway
department is today so corrupted
with political abuses that there is
but one organization in the entire
country that is comparable to it;
to-wit, the notorious Tammany
Hall, of New York City.
Banker Benson in his keynote
speech had a great deal to say to
the effect that the farmer-labor
party during its six years Of control
had paved more miles, blacktopped
more miles, graveled more miles
and shouldered more miles than
has the republicans during the pre-
ceding six years.
Naturally with 81 as against 81
for the republicans, the farmer
labor department ought to have &C
complished great deal more than

Guffey Coal Decision De-

Washington, March 30.-(AP)-The

Fourteen opinions were delivered
all unanimous.

Despite arguments that its practices
were intended to be cooperative in the
public interest, Chief Justice Hughes,
for the court held that "the end does
not justify illegal means"
Granting a government request, the
court refused to pass, at present, on
the public utility holding act. This law
is on it's way up to the court on other
cases.
