State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

The New York Post in an editorial
last week gave hand to Mime
sotas Governor Benson for his refusal
to allow the Pinkerton Detective
agency to operate in Minnesota.
Governor Benson of Minnesota be-
comes the first governor of an Amer
lean state to deny a license to de-
tective agency on the ground 1t al
legedly took part in Strike-breaklng
activities" the Post editorial reads.
'The Pinkerton agency, which figured
prominently in the LaFollette COM
mittee hearings, has been forbidden to
carry on its operations anywhere IN
Minnesota. 'Pinkerton service con-
sists largely of espionage carried on
against organized laber,' says Cover
nor Benson.
1--WE congratulate Governor Benson
on his capacity for being shocked, an
all-too-rare quality. Labor spy &C
tivities have been taken very calmly
by most lawmakers. We wonder If
there would be the same calm &C
ceptance had labor hired detectives
to wangle themselvs corporate direc-
torships and report back to the men. y
The American Taxpayers leagues
recent convention went on record de-
handing that thirteen million citi-
zens in the lower income tax brackets
who are exempt be forced to carry
their share of the tax burden" In
the same breath that demanded in
come taxes for those people who We're
living on a subsistence level, the con-
vention recommended reducing rates
on the income of individuals in the
higher or investment brackets"
The leagues recommendations take
an element of logic. The utility value
of a dollar is far greater to one who
earns $1,000 year than it is to an
individual in the higher income
brackets. who is far better able to
pay tax on monies over and above
that minimum necessary to maintain
life Closely scrutinized, the recon-
mendations of most taxpayers leagues
will be found to demand continu-
ance of special privileges for those
who enjoy large incomes. The aver
age citizen must be alert to these
maneuverS.

Governor Benson last week urged
the United States Senate committee
of audit and control to appropriate
$4,000 additional funds to the La
Toilette committee investigating vio-
lations of civil liberties. In a wire
to Senator James F. Byrnes, chair
man of the audit and control COM
mittee, the governor declared that
''the committee has rendered a great
public service and its job should be
completed" The LaFollette commit
tee recently sent an investigator into
Minneapolis to look into activities
of the former Citizens Alliance, now
known as Associated Industries.
Protest against the governments
stringent position on collection of seed
loans is being made by grain belt
farmers this year. In resolutions sent
to Washington they are pointing out
that unless a different attitude is
taken, the farmer will have little or
nothing to show for season of work
Farmers with state seed loans will
fare much better, but they are few
compared with those who received
loans from the feed and seed loan
division of the Farm Credit Admins
tration. Under provisions of the state
measure farmers pay Gin kind"-on
bushel for bushel basis-so that they
are not forced to sell at low market
price to pay for seed purchased at
high price.

have a splendid record in the Ma
tional League which is not a hitter's
league and the same pitcher might
have no record at all in the Amer
lean League which is hitter's league
There is no doubt Carl Hubbell of
the New York Giants has been a
great pitcher but he found it mighty
rough going against the Yankees in
the world series of 1886
The inference is that Hubbell re-
mains a winner in the National
League through the twilight of his
career because he does not have to
work very hard He can coast along
and bear down only at certain mo-
ments of each game
If he had been in the American
League, where a pitcher must bear
down most of the time, he might
have pitched himself out by mid
season. By the same line of rea-
son he may pitch himself out in the
world series before he has reached
the ninth inning of his first game.
In the impending series it will be
Gomez and Ruffng for the Yankees
against Hubbell and Melton for the
Giants. The record of the opposing
pair are similar, but the fact re-
mains the Yankee pair made its rec
ord against heavier hitting.
The truest thing that can be said
concerning baseball is that anything
can happen in short series. A series
of seven games is not a thorough test.
Any baseball team has its good
stretches and its bad stretches and
they cannot be controlled. 1t is far
more important in doping world
series to determine which team is
ION" its game and which team is
"off," than to determine which is
really the better team for a full sea-
son of play.
But, in this series, the American
League Yankees may be off" their
game and still may apply more power
than the Giants can handle through
seven games.
The very threat of Yankee power
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-10-07

is enough to make opposing pitchers
work themselves into a state of
fatigue
If the Yankees are "off'' it may be
long series, it may take them full
seven games to establish their super
lorlty but, in the end, they will
have worn the Giant pitchers down
and will finish with drive to victory.
That is the only way to analyze the
cope. 1t will be a meeting of two
OF the shrewdest managers in base
ball. Bill Terry is unexcelled in the
National League although Bill Nc
Kechnie of Boston may be his equal
IN pure baseball thinking.
Joe Mccarthy, the boys all agree.
is the soundest thinker in the Amer
lean League; and it must be doubly
true If the boys say so because they
do not say it out of affection for Joe.
Many of them do not like him per-
sonally but grudgingly acknowledge
the truth that he does know his base
ball.
Terry will not overlook any OPP
portunities. He will make his linn
tied pitching strength stretch out as
lar as any manager could make it
stretch; but Mccarthy has the sim
pier task. He has only to keep pour
ing the power on until something
cracks and it will probably crack
before the Giants can win the four
games they need to clinch the series.

occasions.
With the approach of colder wealth

on the new Danish gymnastics intro

under way in the relatively near
future.
