POLITICS n THE VIA


Work relief should be administer
ed without regard to party labels.
That Is, on the one hand there
should be no political favoritism in
the distribution Of relief jobs among
the unemployed, and on the other no
attempt by candidates for Office to
make political use Of those on relief
rolls or relief project stats. Yet
complaints are coming from FIRST
one place and then another to the
effect that party politics and the
WPA are becoming co-workers.
Harry l. Hopkins, WPA admins
traitor, has hit out at this by writ
ing all state administrators that no
WPA employee shall be employed or
discharged because of his political
preferences, that none is required to
contribute to the support Of any
party and that none shall solicit do
nations for a party.
Good intentions at Washington are
not enough. A committee instructed
to watch for and expose the misuses
Of the WPA would be valuable.-St.

SHOULD WIND UP WPA

Federal relief in generous meas
ure must be continued; there can be
no dispute on that point. But we arc
convinced that the whole problem Of
relief needs to be re-examined by
Congress, with a view to cutting
down a cost that threatens the Gov
ernment's credit. We believe that
Congress should require. if not the
immediate liquidation of the WPA
and the substitution Of more ra-
tional and less wasteful system Of
relief, at least the taking of steps
toward that end.--St. Louis Post

IT'S YOUR FIGHT

Government has gone insane in all
that relates to public finance. Con-
gressmen have become so intent on
holding their jobs at any price that
they will vote any amount Of other
peoples money TO any group that
seems to be powerful enough to
threaten their defeat.
In 192O-2S, we reduced the FEEDER
al debt to $4,000, 100000; now we
are increasing II at such speed that,
after four years of this crazy ex-
travagance. the total win be $780,
000.000,0OO Because some reckless
finaneier in a moment Of panic dur
ing 1898 told President Roosevelt
hiatt the country could stand"
debt OF sixty or seventy billions"
Congress and the Administration
seem to think they have a duty to
spend all they ran borrow. The abb
surdity Of It passes belief.-Rich-

CO.OPERlTIONI

President Roosevelt has appointed
a commission, after three years, TO
study Government bureaus, agen-
cies, commissions, departments,
chiefs, almoners and what not, and
in announcing his action asks the
Cooperation" OF the Byrd commit
tee, appointed by the Senate for the
same purpose, so that duplication
in research cay be avoided"
II the appointment Of a Presidents
commission was belated, and, when
made Unnecessary. the reason given
for the request for "co-operation" is
amazing. The Byrd committee was
named after the Virginia Senator
had made a long fight. During that
fight no help came. so far as the
public knows, from the White House.
Then, no sooner does the committee
organize and prepare to start work
than the President names a commit
tee of his own aud asks the existing
for Cooperation" that
there may be no duplication" And
that in face of the fact that the
caused the duplication!
And i'm face of the fact that he seeks
MORE duplication by asking the
House of Representatives to appoint
a third commission
1.-THE inference almost inevitably
drawn from the Presidents action"

SLEEPY EYE, CARDS
| FOE FRIDAY NIGHT

The Redwood Falls Cardinals
will attempt to reenact the David
and Goliath act Friday night
against the Sleepy Eye cagers,
when the ogres of the tenth dis
trict and Little Ten conference
invade the Lincoln school floor in
quest of their sixth straight kill.
District champions last year
and picked to again finish the sea-
son on top, the Indians have
swept away all opposition before
them, collecting five scalps, while
they will be after their fourth
straight from Redwood Falls as
Sleepy Eye tumbled the Cardinals
three time during the 1934-35
campaign.
So convincingly has Sleepy Eye
put aside it's opposition that no
opponent has come closer than
10 points of winning. Fairmont
was the first to taste the ire of
the Indians dropping a 80 to 18
verdict and then followed tri-
umphs over st. James a. to %,
Tracy Is to IL, Hutchinson 81 to
20 and Glencoe 26 to 16, a total of
156 points for the Indians COM
pared to 80 allowed the enemy.
The Indians boast an entire
veteran lineup of seasoned per-
formers, with Kleinschmidt, high
scoring forward of last season the
only loss. Delbert Kuester, giant
center and Fritz Youngman,
guard, are both all-district play
ers while the remainder of the
winning aggregation is composed
of Kriss Barnes, Howard Heden-
stad, Frank Bell and Gilbert
Theobald.

TALL HUTCHINSON
FIVE wins FROM
REDWOOD 1922
Both Teams Make Best Show.
ing Of Season; Free
losses Win

Hutchinson, with its six foot,
one inch average in height, had a
little too much reach for Redwood
Falls Tuesday night and although
the Cardinals matched them in
number of field goals, the Tigers
made good most of their chances
from the free throw line to win 20
to % in a Little Ten basketball
game on the Hutchinson floor.
According to those in the know,
both teams put on their best ex-
hibitions of the season, Hutchin-
sons aggregation finally swing
ing into the win column after
three straight defeats. For Red
wood Falls it was the third loss
since winning from Springfield in
the opening game.
Both quintets showed keen &C.
curacy from the floor each drop
ping ten baskets, the Tigers TAX
ing the edge on their nine success
full gift shots in IL attempts, the
Cards committing 10 fouls. Red
wood Falls made only two of its
eight free chances.
Hutchinson led most of the
way, having a 5 to 2 margin at
the end of the first quarter and in
creasing it to 10 to Is at the half.
Going into the final session, Hut
Crimson had a safe % to Is lead,
both teams caging six points in
the final quarter.
Lhotka, Hutchinson's husky
guard, was high point man with
three field goals and five free
throws for II scores, while he was
followed by his teammate, Klov-
stad who corralled nine points.
Steve Inglis managed to break
away from his six foot, four inch
guard, Stearns, to bag four
buckets, while Paul Asleson, Cub
by Thomson and Russ Lauterbach
each contributed four points to
the Cardinals score.
