CANADIAN TRADE
INCREASES UNDER
RECIPROCAL PACT

Exports of farm products to

$36, 100000 i'm value compared
with $30,000,O00 during the cor

EVERYBODY'S HEALTH

With the approach of Christmas,
members of the Public Health
Education committee of the Min
nesota State Medical association
offer suggestions to Santa and his
representatives on the great de-
STABILITY of safe toys for children.
In spite Of repeated grave ac-
cidents, toys are still presented
each year with sharp points that
are almost certainly calculated to
get out of control. If the result
ing destruction is only damage to
property, the young recipient Of
the gift will be fortunate.
A definite number Of cases of
damaged or completely ruined
eye sight is reported each year,
according to the doctors bulletin,
as tie result of bow and arrow
sets with sharp metal tipped ar
rows given to children; or an air
rifle whose little bullets, with
deadly accuracy, found an eye; or
sharp pointed scissors or a Jack
knife in the possession of boy

A Job For Someone

Unemployment Insurance

a LTHOUGH preferring the classification
~ of liberal as against reactionary, we
sometimes wonder if the outstanding
characteristic of the average iberal-princi-
pied office holder is not his lberality with
the other fellows money. A case in point is
the unemployment insurance question.
The theory of such insurance is to build
up adequate funds in good times so that
when slight recessions in business lead to
unemployment, the unemployed can draw
from such funds, thereby continuing to be
everybody's customers and tending to halt
the downward plunge an unemployment
cycle precipitates The funds would also
tighten the relief load in such times.
A good case can be made for such in
surance in industries where employment OF
labor is seasonable at best and where the
payroll is likely to be slashed ruthlessly at
the first sign of business storm cloud. 1t
is unfair, however, to assess an equal tax on
the firm whose payroll is necessarily stand
ard through business ups and downs, some
times at great sacrifice to the owners.
Many employers in recent years have
founded pension systems for retired en-
ployees, principle carried now into the old
age pension phase of the social security act
which few employers criticise because the
idea appears to be sound and the employer
has the assurance that his employees will
eventually benefit.
Some warfare will be waged in the leg
islature over whether the employer shall pay
all the expense of unemployment insurance
or not but this is purely political smoke
screen for whatever the solution, the wages
paid are going to be affected by the tax and
the employee will contribute either directly
or indirectly.
This may obscure the very legitimate
kick of the ernnlover of eight nine ten and
more employees that he is hit by the federal
provisions of the law while his competitor
with seven or less workers escapes the levy
and it is very likely to take the spotlight off
the fact that employers who offer year
around, year in and year out employment
and the employees of such firms are being
taxed without receiving direct benefits.
Unemployment insurance has plenty OF
merit in theory but lawmakers have made
a bad mess of their efforts to put that theory
in practice.

King's-Ex

20 MUCH has been written concerning
the romance of King Edward and the
- twice divorced American, Wallis Slmp-
son, that readers of daily newspapers Will be
relieved when they can again find news OF
Spain's internal troubles, the South Amerl-
can peace conference and other current
events on page one. :, ;,
American newspapers have been blamed
for bringing the matter to the crises stage
with continued publicity. British newspapers
and their self-imposed censorship were Ger
tainly responsible for the fact that Brltans
were uniformed on the subject when that
crises came.
Like so many American matters, the
whole affair was quickly stepped in politics
which distorts opinions and magnifles the
Importance of decisions. Those who look
upon the king as grossly stubborn must ad-
NIT the intolerance and mishandllng OF the
subject by his opponents.
To an American the whole folderoi OF
roval families, courts and precedents is dis
tasteful. Intermarriage of royal families
for convenience begat finally generations OF
weakminded, diseased, immoral Weakhngs
which led to their downfall and the rule OF
various "isms" which today place the World
ON the brink of another war. England mas

haps should be thankful that the worst cri-
ticism it has of very human monarch Is ms
desire to be as free as the loWilest OF MS

A PERENNIAL problem of the state
~ legislature which will be as much in
evidence as ever when the law makers
gather next month is provision for highway
construction and maintenance and the kim
dred problems of gasoline taxes, vehicle IL
cense rates and the matching of federal
funds.
It is problem which must be approach
ed with the utmost openmindedness and far
sightedness for citizens of the state and
especially those of particular localities have
major stakes in how it is handled.
Redwood county, for example, wishes to
see highway II completed and surfaced dur
ing the next two years. It's voters must re-
cognize that curtailing highway funds so
that money is available only for maintenance
would definitely delay this work and cost
considerable in loss of tourist and local busi-
ness.
The heavy taxes piled on gasoline, max
ing oil stations very important tax collectors
at their own expense, naturally causes OIL
men to object to any further levies on pet
roleum products although they recognize
that their business has been greatly bene-
flied by the encouragement to travel which
improved roads give. If possible increases
should be avoided and certainly the practice
in some states of diverting gas taxes to other
funds should not be adopted.
The federal government wisely insists
that federal appropriations for road con-
struction be matched by state funds and the
state would be foolish to fail to take advan-
tage of such money while we have many
roads which are costly to maintain because
of inadequate improvements.
Admitting gas taxes are already plenty
high, the recourse may be to increase license
fees, although not popular alternative. The
bond issue method of matching funds has
lost favor and the public is quite thoroughly
convinced that pay-as-you-go policy is wise
particularly since times are improving.
Interesting in this regard are N. w. lis.
berg's figures just released on expenses OF
his department Maintenance of the highway
system which was enlarged few years ago
will cost $8,OOO,OOO this year or about $5s
per month per mile of road. Of this fourth
was expended to plow snow and repair spring
breakup damage.
The governors recommendations on
highway financing and subsequent develop
ments will be watched with great interest.

that little 10 Ann Lamberton who

all implication in the disappear

still without the girdle.

Here are some biting Charming Pollock
from American Mercury passed
on for whatever they are worth:
''Why work for money when you can get
it by voting for it ?"
"Men die of hardening of the arteries;
nations of softening Of the spine.
'For nearly four thousand years poll
ticians have remained the lowest form OF
animal life."
"Our difficulties are not with a social
system that won't work but with society
that won't work"
"A people no longer willing to do things
for themselves naturally Jump at leader
who does things for them"
'The truth is this forward march OF the
world is leading back to barbarism."
eve shall run out of money, OF course
but by then we shall have established gov
ernment and a bureaucracy that will be IN
dependent of our votes
.aThe new yearning for standards OF liv-
ing that begin below the belt, rather than
above the collar, have sunk us into lndlfter-
ence as to conditions of life and government
that no vigorous people would tolerate for
more than an afternoon"
"The great trouble with our universities
is that they are spelling thousands OF good
truck drivers"
In America almost IlOUOuy udS CVSA
conceived of education as anything but
means to make money
America is no longer sensible, If indeed
it ever was. It has gone over to easy think
ing, easy living, easy money, unreasonlng
prejudice, and meaningless slogans. 1t has
become apple pie for every cheap demagogue
and every expensive vote buyer"
Day by day the traffic toll of the ma
ton mounts. Deaths and injuries pile up
much faster now that roads are more treach-
erous and there are more hours of darkness.
Speed remains the greatest killer in the
land today, speed in relation to darkness and
visibility, speed in relation to road condi-
tions, speed in relation to mechanical de-
fects, speed in relation to drunkards or IN
competents at the wheel.
The logical answer is for everyone to
drive slower. Comprehensive Investigations
have proved definitely that at least three
fourths of the speed we indulge in is for no
reason at all except as an expression OF rest
lessness and thoughtlessness.
We can carry on campaigns to make
highways safer, to eliminate defective cars
and irresponsible drivers. but in the end it
is speed that Worthington Globe.
A front page article in Minneapolis
paper last Monday told of drunken auto
driver who got 90-day work house sentence
as penalty for crashing into truck while
intoxicated and causing the death of the
truck driver. 1t seems that the murderer,
while in his irresponsible condition, drove
his car into the truck. The impact threw the
truck driver out of his cab head first, killing
him instantly. Of course the murder was
not premeditated, but the unfortunate vic
tim is just as dead as if it had been. Sup
pose that instead of using car as weapon
of death while his brain was befuddled from
liquor, he had playfully pointed loaded gun
at his victim and pulled the trigger, would
he have gotten off with 9O-day sentence
