tarium in the event federal funds
are forthcoming to match this
sum.
Seven amendments were added
to the so-called "Ickes" bills,
which allow municipalities and
counties to issue bonds to match
PWA funds.
Amendments would: Continue

tiguous territory; require munich

WHEELER DECLARES
SCHEME IMMORAL

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. (UP)
Raymond Moley, original New

that the easy path O: expediency
offered by President Roosevelt's
judiciary program threatens death
to democratic institutions.
Moley presented his views to
the senate judiciary committee In
the second day Of testimony OPP

Moley challenged arguments
that constitutional amendment
would require too long and could
not win united support Of the lib
erals.
Meantime, It was understood
that all eight Of the sunreme
court justices concurred in Chief

Senator Burton X. Wheeler, D.,

letter to an attentive committee
and a packed hearino room yes

reasons for his opposition: He ar

8. It Is q "ston gan" plan, rath-
err than a fundamental solution Of
the problem and the witness ar
gued it threatened to "fritter
away" the liberal principles for
which he has fought all his life.
Wheeler demanded that the ad-
ministration abandon efforts to
pass the presidents bill and offer
an amendment in its stead.
"I've talked to practically all
the senators opposed to the BILL"
he said, "and I'm safe in saying
that those who are opposed to it
will vote for any reasonable
amendment proposed by the ad-
ministration to meet the condi.
tions."
He contended that Hughes let

Wheeler reminded the commit

he was shocked" when he read
the presidents court message. He
interpreted some Of its statements
as "a reflection on the integrity
of the court"

statements by President Roose-

utterances on the court.
He quoted q magazine article

Finally he asserted that Felix

FROM THIS DISTRICT

Nils Hokstad, who was a candidate
for the legislature from Pine county
at the last election, sends the follow
ing letter to Senator c. Elmer John
son who represents this district in
the upper House of the state legis-
lature:
Il wish to commend you for the ex-
cellent record you are making as SEN
ator from this district, and l know
that | express the sentiments of the
great majority of our farmers and pro-
gresSive, liberal-minded citizens Of
this county when l ask you to support
the tax program of the Farmer-LabOr
party.
1.-The raise in the income tax rates
as passed by the House will certainly
help our schools in Pine county as
they will in every other county in
Minnesota The raise in monies anC
credits tax will also be of great help
in shifting some of the burden from
real estate. The elimination of the
state tax levy on homesteads up tt
$4,000 will encourage homecoming
The raise in inheritance tax is also
a very just tax.
Have enjoyed your letters and
know that Pine county readers will
be glad to continue reading news from
the state capitol as written by your
self on taxation as we'll as other i'm

tive power that they set up a govern
ment of branches-legislative execu-
tive and judicial-and sought by
means of the Constitution to make
each branch forever Independent OF
and check upon the other two. The
founders also fOresaw the dangers OF
passing waves of popular hysteria and
they tried to provide means whereby
the government could not be changed
fundamentally overnight. Every per-
son has done things on impulse which
he has regretted upon sober second
thought.
Our President says that the over
whelming vote by which he was re-
elected means a mandate to tell the
nine old men that they are in their
second childhood especially since they
will not rather take the $4,000 an
nual pension and retire.
The large vote for Roosevelt might
mean an overwhelming desire to be
sure to get rid of the Republican re-
CINE. We notice Socialists, Commune
lists cast their votes against the Re-
publican party rather than for Roose-
welt. We scanned the papers day by
day to follow the Literary Digest's
straw vote which formerly always had
hit the nail on the head pretty closely.
Don't believe for minute that the
Communists and Socialists had be-
come Democratic overnight.

WOMEN FIRST

To witness the heartacheS and the
grief of mournerS and to look upon
the silent form of the innocent Pine
City girl who met her death early
last Saturday morning at the hands
of a fiendiSh attacker, was to VOW
inwardly to use every individual IN
fluence to prevent such crimes in the
future. Alas, however, the sad part
of it all is that we too soon rget
the anguish of the victims loved ones
and the VOWS we made.
We protect our money, sure! Woe
be unto him that taketh from cur mall
sacks and postoffices for the govern
ment will get him, but how many or
us ever reviewed the crimes on our
women and the number Of them still
unsolved? How many OF us ever
stopped to consider the inadequacy or
our law enforcement agencies in re-
CARDS to crimes of this sort?
Sure we can track down criminals.
Didn't we demonstrate that fact when
we got Dillinger? Didn't we demon
strate it when we got Pretty Boy
Floyd? Didn't we demonstrate it
when we took Alvin Karpis for ride?
But where is the demonstration which
says that our women and girls are
safe when they walk innocently down
a street in our cities? There is none.
We have been lax. We have cut ex-
penses in those cities until barely
enough police are available to an
Swer a riot call.
Women and girls can die in the
night and the world sleeps. And when
it awakens in the morning to find out
about the crime, it yawns and goes
back to sleep. You will say that this
is exaggeratiOn. Sure, it is, but how
far away from the truth is it? There
are scores of crimes upon women light
in two of our Minnesota cities which
are still unsolved and unpublished.
Maybe our enforcement system is
wrong. Well, then if it is some steps
should be taken to improve it. One
method would be to forget state lines
as we have done in kidnapping cases
and let the Omen get their men. AT
any rate it is something for lawmak-
-ers to think about and not only tC
think about but to do and do quickly
We should place the protection of Our
women first.

The man who works hard could be
driven from his nice home and some
lazy politician move on to reap the
benefits from his toll.
The personnel of the Supreme Court
was increased from six to ten from
Washington to Lincoln owing to en-

til the cOrruptist Congress we have

President Johnson because he followed
LincOln's policy regarding the South,
did Congress change the court per-
sonnet. Congress, by corruption and
intrigue, tried to prostitute the white
people of the South and Africanize
| them. They disenfranchised all for
mer confederate soldiers. then enfran-

petbagger politicians from the North
were going to degrade the whole land
| in the interest of revenge. Secret in
surrectiOn in the South saved the day,
but it left a bitter sectional feeling
not healed yet today.
This infamous Congress is the one
that reduced the Supreme Court from
ten to seven as quickly as the three
oldest justices were dead told men are
harder for corrupt politicians to sway
to some sign of childishness) but
is it? AS soon as Grant became pres

to nine. Both of these changes were
made for the purpose of revenge and
trampling down rights of American
citizens.

cists believe in them if their own
leaders will. but when the two ella sh
we have Spain. Americanism says
believe as you please but keep your
hands off the other fellows rights.
Under our constitution this has be-
come great country. Under the New
Deal development has ceased. Young
people seem content to live FRI m hand
to mouth on relief. Our debts have
multiplied during the past four years
but who can say our country has
progressed more than it has in the
same length of time under former pres

hindered progress put it has hindered
political exploitation.
