Third Party Is Favored
bv Farmer-Laborites

FORMATION of a third national
L party was suggested in resolution
adopted by the Farmer-Labor party
convention at st. Paul, MIMI, and the
delegates noisily welcomed the hint
that Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota
might be it's Presidential candidate in
1910. just now Mr.. Olson is after a
seat in the senate. The resolution was
adopted by vote of 1851 to 2501h al
though several leaders pleaded that
the move be put off for four years.
Governor Olson said privately that
in his opinion the resolution could do
no harm since 1t does not commit the
liberals to putting national ticket In
the field this year. Neither does 1t
authorize formation Of such a ticket
unless second convention convenes
and ratities any action a proposed "ex-
plOratory conference" may take.

italian Bonnbers Wreck
Second Ethiopian City

NTUSSOLINPS air bombers were
Iva busy again in Ethiopia, virtually
running Harar, second city Of that
country, with downpour Of explosives.
Most of the populace had fled when
scouting planes gave a warning of
what was to come, so the casualties
were few. An official telephone mes
sage from Harar to Adds Ababa said
fifteen incendiary bombs struck the
Egyptian Red Cross hospital and 9TH
ers hit the Ethiopian Red Cross hos
pital.
A French mission, the French con-
sulate, the Ethiopian radio station and
prison all were reported officially to
have been ruined.
The attack on Harar, coupled with
a heavy bombardment Of Jijiga, fifty
miles east of Harar and a center of
Ethiopia's southern defenses, raised
native fears in Adds Ababa that the
capital itself might be the next target.

In fact, data that he has assembled indicates that the change in the law may result in an actual saving to the territor lal treasury and at the same time allow many deserV- ing residents to enjoy the pension who are unable to qualify for it under the pre- present Territorial law; and that meeting the require ments of the Act would not occasion nearly the prob lem to Alaska that it would to most of the states be- cause the Alaska law would only require certain liber- alization, while approxi- mately half of the states have no pension legislation whatever.

Then, after the aerial maps had been carefully studied for ore shoWings, the Govern ment would provide the necessary grubstake to the prospector, who would care fully examine any section revealed by the mapping as especially promising.

 Since the aerial mapping would be directly in line with much of the flying practise of planes based at the Army Air Corp Station authorized for the Territory the cost would not be so great as if the project were charged entirely against the mapping. In discussing the plan, the Delegate point ed out that considerable preparation will be requir- ed before it can be put in to operation and that there are many obstacles to be ov- ercome, but he expressed himself as certain that if the necessary coordination can be secured it would benefit the Territory i'm measureably and would probably repay the cost to the government several |. times over.
