Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman" Harold Knutsol
Presidents Waterloo

The much cussed and discussed
court bill has finally been inferred,
unwept, unhonored, and unsung
by vote of 70 to 20. The Senate's
action on last Thursday in recon-
hitting the bill to the Judiciary
Committee did not come as a sur
prise but the Overwhelming major
ity in favor of burying it was most
surprising. Even its proponents,
very few of whom were for 1t
intellectually, saw 1t buried
with signs Of relief. I cannot re-
call a time when President has
sustained such crushing defeat
at the hands Of a partisan Con-
gress. Senator Shipstead voted to
recommit the bill while Senator
Lundeen voted with the President.
Playing To Hard Luck
Last Thursday in the Senate was
anything but red letter day for
the President. In addition to
knocking his court packing plan
into a cooked hat, the Senate also
by a vote of II to 10 over-rode his
veto of the bill to continue the 3h
per cent interest rate on federal
farm loans for another year and
reduce to per cent the rate on
commissioner loans for two years.
One of the main reasons for over
riding the Presidents veto was his
advocacy of fifty million dollar
grant to the Resettlement Admin
istration, which is to be loaned
out to beneficiaries at 3 percent.
Those who voted to override the
Presidents veto properly took the
position that if the government
can afford to loan out money at 3
per cent through the Resettlement
Administration there can be no
possible grounds upon which to
object to giving farmers who have
farm bank loans, money at 3k
per cent and per cent and ]

southern part Of the state when
they visit with the lady's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Peder Gaalaas, in
Saltwater. Accompanying them is
a niece of Mrs. Bunker, Miss Betty
Gaalaas.
During the last three days Of the
week they will attend the annual
meeting held in International
Falls. Dignitaries attending the
statewide meeting, announced Mr..
Bunker, will include Gil Hyatt, ma
tional legislative representative
and editor of the Union Postal
Clerk, national organ for the
clerks organization. Postmaster
General James j. big Jim) Far
ley, who visited a dozen towns in
southern Minnesota on Monday,
will not attend the meeting. Mr..
Bunker, who has been president Of

activities of the CLIO might be dis
cussed,

reduce taxes by spending forty per
cent more than before. The new
homestead exemption law saves
money for the home-owner with
property valued at less than $4,000,
removing the state tax except for
mandatory debt levies. But a rev.
enue program that draws more
than 30 million dollars into the
state treasury next year and more
than % million the year after isn't
all loaded onto the other fellow.
The big taxes on business, made SO
attractive to the 'little fellow"
when the politician describes them.
are passed ON to that "little fellow
inescapably in the prices the ulti-
mate consumer pays.
A needless deadlock, forced by
Governor Benson and his advisers,
occasioned the special session just
closed. The governor wanted his
liberal tax program enacted.
Comparing what he had within
reach when the regular session
ended with what the special ses-
sion produced, the state would
have been two and a half million
dollars ahead in revenue yields If
the lawmakers had been permitted
to quit last April.
Coming Events
Coming events do cast their
shadows before. The battle which
appears in the offing between for
mer Governor Hjalmar Petersen
and his successor, Governor Ben
son, prolonged conference SQUAD
bles when House members were
objecting to the sum set to aid the
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion in an investigation designed
to reduce telephone rates in Min
neapolis. Pressed for his reasons,
a loyal Bensonite insisted: why,
we can't let Hjalmar Petersen get
credit for a thing like that, and
then build himself up as a candi-
date for governor"

China, where he will teach for two
years, described the feeling Of long,
ing for the past and uncertainty
for the future as he watched the
last bit of receding land slip into
the darkness as the Empress OF
Japan bounded outward from Van

The statement was from a letter
written from Honolulu, Hawaii, to
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Domke, in this city. In the mean
time he has reached Japan, and
will be bound soon for his final
trip across the Japan sea and the
Yellow Seat for Taku and thence
to Fenchow. Meanwhile wars
heighten anxiety over his situation
in the Orient since his route passes
through the war zone in Tiensten
and Pieping, the ancient city of
Picking. 1t is believed that in case
danger is expected for his person,
entrance to China will be denied.
Luxurious lounges, dining salons,
and cabins spotless and shining
was the way he described the EN-
press of Japan. Movies, fancy dress
balls, and dancing make for a
pleasant sea voyage, he said. Des-
cribing a dancing party he said:

At Fish Fray-Interesting
Program

Newspaper men of Stearns Coun
ty, their families, and employees
were the guests Of Editor N. Hon

event was the second annual out.
ing and picnic of the Stearns coun-
ty editors, and it was an enjoyable
picnic, to say the least.
Editor Homer entertained the
group Of more than one hundred
people at the State Highway park
Just south of Cold Springs. Assist.
ed by his brothers and their famil.
les, he prepared a splendid menu
of fish and all the trimmings, in.
GLIDING refreshments consisting OF
pop, ice cream and beer throughout
the day. The guests enjoyed two
delicious repasts Of splendidly pre-
pared food.
During the afternoon the entire
party was taken through the Cold
Spring Granite Works, with Ralph
Alexandra as their guide. This is
the worlds largest granite shed
with over 300 men employed night
and day. The tour Of the granite
works was commenced where the
raw product was brought into the
shed, and put into large saws fol-
cutting. Several saws were in oper-
alton, some Of them just starting
in their work, others practically
had severed the large blocks OF
granite into five or more pieces.
The trip continued through the
polishing department, where the
color of the various kinds Of gran
lite was brought out. Granite blocks
in various stages were cut by ma.
chine or chiseled by hand, until
the completed product showed
them to be large blocks for build
ing use or tombstones. All Of the
operation Of cutting is done with
water, and it Is said the large
saws do not actually cut the stone
that Is done with steel shot
which are forced to and fro under
the large saw or arm. This was q
most interesting and educationa,
experience for everyone. 1t Is said
that II work continues as at pres
ent the plant will increase its crew
in all departments within a shor'
time. The group also made a visi
to the Cold Spring brewery.
The rest Of the time was spen
in visiting and a short business
session was held late In the after
noon, called by Anthony Brisse, o

OF the association.

The Campaign Continues


The extra session Of Minnesota's
legislature is actually over. But the
political campaign to which it has
been contributing continues. Law
makers had been out Of the capt.
toll less than two hours last Friday
when Governor Benson was before
the microphone, reading over a
statewide radio hook-up well
prepared attack on the state SEN
ate. The public mind Is under
standably confused as to the func-
tions its elected servants are to
perform at legislative session
which Is the main output and
which the by-product-laws or pol
itical ammunition? That question
was apropos throughout the nine
week special term, and it remains
so while varying civilizations of the
terms work are made.
The Benson blast at the SEES
sion's close was identical in tone
with those preceding it. The latest
gubernatorial barrage, however
may be interpreted as foreshadow-
ing 1888 campaign technique in
one added particular. Senators in
volved in important tax conference
es were singled out by name and
subjected to abuse because they
disagreed with the governor. If
this personalized type of attack is
to be next years strategy, the gov
ernor and his aides will be doing
verbal battle on a good many
fronts, for the whole legislature

And while the governor Is singing
out those who have INSTRUCTED his
own tax program, Farmer-Labor
henchmen who controlled the
House will have to come In for
their share of administration re-
prisal, just as those same House
leaders were victims of the COVER
nor's wrath in his blast against
the income tax bill.
A House leader was guilty of
heresy as last weeks debates drag
ged on to their dreary close. He
actually admitted that I'VE might
as well realize we can't cure all
ills or solve all problems at this
special session or during the term
of this administration"

over the current two-year period,
SO any early claims about saving

His Dog

Now aided with one Of those

Mr. DeBeer Is the only one in
the northwest to have one Of these
marvelously trained dogs. And
sometime ago he left for New Jer-
sey where he as well as the dog
went through an acquaintance
training period for a month. Mr..
DeBeer Is now free to go about
without other human assistance
for the dog is thoroughly depend
able, but only he can feed and
care for his "eye." Mr.. DeBeer
now has the distinction Of being
the only Minneapolitan possessing
a permit emitting him to take his
dog on street cars or buses.

were absolutely consistent. After
all, those who have been able to
hang on the past seven years are
the better risk and should be fav-
ored.

Have Changed Their Minds
All Of you will recall how the
Filipinos, for years, cried to the
high heavens for independence.
They called us butchers" tyr
ants" "dictators" and "blood-suck-
ers.' This, in the face Of the fact
that we had spent several hundred
! million dollars in the Islands build
ing schools, constructing roads and
maintaining law and order
throughout the Islands. AS you
will recall, we finally got tired of
the whole deal and two years ago
passed bill to give them their
complete independence within ten
years. Now, when they realize that
they are going to lose the Ameri-
can market as well as the benefits
from the enormous sums that we
spent in the Islands in the last
forty years, they are not so sure
that they want to be free. Indeed,
President Manual Quezon Of the
Philippine Commonwealth, before
embarking for his home last week,
after having spent several months
in this country, stated that the Fill
ipinos might abandon their hope
of complete, immediate and alb
solute" independence if some suit
able arrangement with the United
States could be devised.
There are two flies in the Flip
inc ointment. In the first place
they do not want to lose their free
access to the American market and
in the second place they are Just
simply scared stiff for fear that
Japan will step in and gobble them
up when we step out. When I
think of how the Filipinos have
abused us for the past forty years,
Notwithstanding all that we have
done for them, I am afraid that I
would derive considerable salts
faction from seeing the Filipinos
under Japan for a similar period.
Then, and only then, will they real
ize what Uncle Sam did for them
in the forty years that he was in
the Islands.
OF course, the suggestion Of Mr..
Quezon comes much too late and
Congress will not entertain any
such suggestion. For years and
years the importation Of cocoanut
oil from the Philippine Islands has
cost the American dairymen mil
lions and millions Of dollars. No
one can say just how much but 1t
is plenty. We are going to get rid
Of the Philippines not later than
the time specified in the Tydings
Act, and earlier If possible. They
have asked for 1t and must take it
