Changing the Constitution
We are hearing quite a bit these

cate a change should not forget
that one-third of the states can veto

He'll Be Candidate
Is Still A Dominent Force In Far
mer-Labor Party and Seeks
Endorsement as Senator

Governor Olson served notice on
the state Monday that despite his
illness he is very much in public
life and that he will seek the Far
mer-Labor Endorsement as a candi-
date for the United States Senator
ship.
According to doctors orders, his
campaign will need be less
strenuous than he is accustomed
to, but the Governor insists he will
be well enough to take an active
part.
He stated that he will urge a
constitutional amendment giving
the federal government power to
regulate employment and agricul-
ture, and if the democrats have the
courage to propose constitutional
changes, he will support President
Roosevelt for reelection.

ROCKVILLE HAS
GRANITE SCHOOL
Only Structure of It's Kind In
United States-Constructed
OF Pink Granite

Stearns County's famous granite
quarries have given the village of
Rockville the only school of its
kind In the United States.
Constructed entirely Of pink
granite, the new school, costing
approximately $751; in federal
funds and supplemented by local
contribution Of $4,727, is now near
ing completion.
The school Is one of a number of
permanent monuments to the in
dustry being erected in the st.
Cloud territory with federal funds
The projects were set up by the
Works Progress Administration
primarily with a view Of relieving
unemployment among the granite
workers in the territory. At pres
ent, more than 80 per cent Of them,
including quarry men, stone cut
ters, blasters, and polishers are on
the WPA payrolls.
Granite used in the construction
OF the school was taken from
large local quarry by the WPA
workers and finished by other
workers at the Rockville mill.

"U' Economist Will
Discuss Farm Problems
Meeting Will Be Held At Melrose
January 28th, At Two
O'clock p. M.

Will prices of farm products be
higher or lower in 1895 than in
1885? Which products are likely to
enjoy the most favorable prices?
Will 1896 farm incomes in Mime
sofa be above or below those for
1885? What factors and conditions
will have deciding influences on
farm incomes in Minnesota and
Stearns county next year?
The foregoing questions will be
discussed by J. B. McNulty, extern
sion economist, University Farm,
at a meeting to be held in the city
hall at Melrose on January % at
200 P. M. County Agent, e. c.
Lenzmeier is making arrangements
for this meeting.
Mr. McNulty will suggest things
the individual farmers can do to
increase his income during the
coming year. He will show why,
under identical conditions, some
farmers make money while others
go behind, In years when prices
are good as well as when they are
poor. Other questions that may af-
feet farm incomes in Stearns coun-
ty will be discussed.
A representative Of the farm Gre
dit administration will explain the
kinds of credit that can be obtain
ed from the various loan agencies
OF the farm credit administration.
The origin, the purpose, and the
profitable use of the particular
kinds Of credit available to farm
ers, through farm credit loan agen-
cies, will be discussed. Some think
the farm credit administration Is
loaning too much; others think
that the farm credit administration
is not loaning enough to farmers.
Who Is right? Can farmers make
a profitable use of credit in 1885?

Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutson
Pot Calls Kettle Black


The speeches that are being de-
livered these days by the Demo
cratic high command indicate a
disturbed mental condition In his
Jackson Day address, President
Roosevelt accused those who are
opposed to him and his policies, of
of being the tools Of special inter-
ests who are hiding behind the
cloak Of selfish designs. Mr..
Roosevelt and his cohorts have
much to say about driving the
money changers from the temple.
No doubt Mr.. Roosevelt would
have us believe that he consorts
with the plain people, as he has
never made any reference to the
fact that some of the richest men
in the country were and are his
political friends and contributed
heavily to his election. What
would the Democrats have said if
Mr.. Hoover, while President, had
taken repeated cruises on the
Nourhahal as the guest of Vincent
Aston?
A Sweet Subject
Mr.. Aston was heavy contribu-
tor to Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign in
1882. He has large investments in
the Cuban sugar industry, so has
the International Banking crowd
in New York. When Mr.. Roosevelt,
in his Cuban Trade Agreement, re-
duced the tariff on Cuban sugar,
he made this crowd an outright
gift of forty-two million dollars
per year because the American
consumer did not benefit a penny
by this tariff reduction. On the
contrary, because Of the reduction
in production Of American beet
sugar, ordered by the Roosevelt
administration, American consum-
ers are now paying one cent a
pound more for sugar than they
did before we made our treaty
with Cuba, which amounts to an
annual gift of another fifteen mil
lion dollars to the sugar interests.
This is but one Of a number Of in
stances that we might mention.
Truly, it i'll behooves Mr.. Roosevelt
and his political associates to talk
about the national bankers, the
money changers and the special
and selfish interests.
A Better Farm Plan
In my letter of last week I sub
mitted an alternative plan for the
AAA which would call for the
planting of certain percentage of
our tillable acreage into some soil
building feed crop, such as clover,
to be plowed under, except in times
Of drought and scarcity, the owner
Of the land to be reimbursed out
Of tariff receipts. 1t now looks as
though this plan will be offered as
a substitute for the AAA by the ad-
Such a program
would be acceptable to the consum-
er as 1t would be free Of the pro-
cessing tax.
I believe this plan would be con-
stitutional because 1t would be
measure to conserve our soil fertil-
ity which Is the most valuable Of
our nation assets. am satisfied
that the American farmer would be
agreeable to this plan.

Members Of the Minnesota Con-

proved an open season on muskrats
for a twelve day period between
March 1 and April 30th. The exact
dates will be announced later by
A. c. Hanson, director Of the div
ision of game and fish.
The season, however, will be lin
tied to counties in the eastern half

Gated that muskrats are relatively

ern counties, but plentiful in east
ern sections of the state.

Other Peoples Opinion
A Real NV Deal


Editor Herald:
I note that the Twin City Dailies
and some of the Republican coun-
ty papers too, are very much elated
over the fact that Hon. Magnus
johnson has filed as a Farmer-La-
Dor candidate for Governor, as
they see a scrap" in the Farmer
Labor party, in the coming cleo
ton. Fine, as long as it lasts, but
it will not be long.
For in the Farmer-Labor party
as well as all other parties we have
more qualified men for office than
there are offices to fill, and we hold
that every man and woman in the
state has a right to be a candidate
for any office, but remember the
motto of the Farmer-Labor party
is I'VE kick like mules but we use
our heads" and doing this we know
that only one person can be elect
ed for each place to fill and al
though there are already two who
have filed for Governor on the
Farmer-Labor ticket and If there
are ten more who will file it only
shows more life in the party, for
only those who are endorsed by the
State Convention of delegates from
every county in the state will be
recognized by the party organiza-
ton, until the primary in June and
after that only those duly nominat-
ed will be supported, whether they
were endorsed or not. Any one not
assisting in the election Of our
nominated candidates, will fare as
Townley did in the last election.
He got one vote for every five hun
dred votes for the nominee, Floyd
B. Olson.
The Farmer-Labor party of Min
nesota will this year start out on a
real new deal, which with the per-
mission of the editor I will later ex-
plain in this paper and with this
we will make a clean sweep Of the
state in the next election, with any
ticket. We have plenty Of timber
and even the following ticket would
do 1t, viz:
Floyd B. Olson for U. s. Senator,
Hennepin County.
Elmer A. Benson for Governor,
Swift county.
Herman ]. Aufderheide for 1t.
Governor, Brown county.
Emil NJ Olson for Secretary of
State, Freeborn county.

Henry Arens for State Treasur-
er, Scott county.
Harry H. Peterson for Attorney
General, Ramsey county.
Magnus johnson for Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner,
Meeker county.
Hjalmer Peterson for Congress
man, 9th District.
If the foregoing set up Is not sat
isfactory we can make up ten tick
cts equally good, but none better.
