De Valera'S government were hedging.
One hundred and thirty-eight seats
in the new Dali (ParNament) were to
be filled by the balloting. The old
membership was l53.
De Valera'S propaganda camapien
has been unprecedented in Irish cleo

De Valera campaign slogans.

The major question before large
section Of the farming population in
the state right now is what is going
to happen to the proceeds from this
years crop. Thousands of farmers
in the state will have a good harvest
for the first time in several years
However, many have back seed and
feed loans made during drouth years
when not even enough was raised
for the following years seed.
The governments attitude will be
most important. To force farmers
to turn over the proceeds of the har-
vest in payment of debts would strip
most of them of all their gains. A
lenient policy on the part of the gov
eminent, the biggest creditor, would
in all likelihood be followed by a
similar policy on the part of private
agencies.

A new method for solving the re-
lief problem has been brought for
ward by Kay Todd, ST. Paul corpora
ton lawyer and Republican leader.
1t is very simple. He would publish
each month the names and addresses
of every relief client together with
the amount of money the relief client
received.
Undoubtedly, many people would
rather suffer privation and starva-
ton than see their names in public
print as recipients of charity. The
relief rolls would be cut down. But
what would happen to those people,
unable to get work or exist from the
income of their farms, who would be
ashamed to ask for relief? The an
swer certainly is not in line with
American standards of living or the
ideals of American democracy. Todd's
proposal could be welcomed only by
those people who see in every re-
lief recipient ''chiseler" and close
their eyes to the real and vital needs
Of large section of the population.

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

Asserting that the special session
of the Legislature has paid for itself
many times over in that it has driven
an entering wedge for far-sighted
tax relief and readjustment program,
Senator George Lommen, liberal floor
leader of the upper house, in state
wide radio hook-up last week, took
his conservative colleagues to task
for their concerted effort to block
the administration tax program OF
placing a greater share of the tax
burden upon wealth.
every move of the Senate con-
servatives was to protect the steel
corporations against the first, long
awaited tax increase on the iron pro-
ducers of Minnesota" he charged.
In spite of the opposition, however,
Senator Lommen asserted that the
courage of the liberal forces in the
Legislature has finally, in spite of all
odds, resulted in an increase of 81
per cent to the taxes upon the min
ing companies"
He further charged that since 1921
the mining companies have been
granted tax reductions totalling nearly
S19,O0O0O a year by Republican leg
islatures.

policy, and would continue the soil
conservation program but with grad
uated payments with maximum to
any one farmer of $4,000.
Further, it would require farmers
to divert acreage from specific crops
when the supply of these override
the demand, both domestic and for
eign, by 10 per cent. A processing
tax would also be levied, amount
ing to two cents a pound on cotton,
10 cent a bushel on wheat and rice,
25 cents hundred weight on pork,
all subject to. referendum by grow
erS and raisers.
The addition of the Jones bill in
the arena amounts to revolt, Wash
ington observers say, on the part
of large number of the congress-
men, The Senate committee as well
as the House farm groups seem deter
mined not to return to any comprO-
mise form of the AAA, thus bucking
the wishes of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Acting on numerous complaints
that various loan companies, making
small personal loans, are charging
usurious interest rates in direct vio-
lation of the law, State Banking Com
missioner Robert Berry last week
began an investigation. Although
finance companies refused to open
their books to state banking exam
iners, legal means are being sought
to compel them to produce their
records. 'The banking department
is determined to put stop to usury,"
Commissioner Berry stated.
The special session which came
to a close on July %, marked one
of the most bitter battles between
progress and reaction in the his
tory of this state. The campaign of
1886 was won by the Farmer-Labor
party chiefly on the basis of its pro-
gram for tax reform. That program
called for an increased tax on wealth
to meet both the new demands of
government, due to social security,
and the necessity for tax relief for
the owners of real property, particu-
larly homesteads.
While is is true that Governor
Benson, who displayed courage in
fighting the powerful reactionary
forces seldom seen in public life, did
not get all that he asked for, he came
out of this bitter legislative battle
not only with a moral victory for hav-
ing kept faith with those who put
him in office, but with a substantial,
practical victory as well.
He secured passage of the home
stead exemption law against which
the reactionaries fought very des-
perately. He secured a reduction in
state property taxes. And the in
come tax, which he refused to sign
as a protest against inclusion in the
bill of the low income groups, does
force the large corporations and those
of great wealth to contribute a fairer
portion towards the cost of govern
ment than they have contributed in
the past.
Governor Benson's fight in behalf
of the owner of real property has
dramatized the danger of increasing
the load of this overburdened group
of taxpayers. It also has assured a
policy of progressive tax reduction
for real estate. But it has done even
more than that. AS the results of his
efforts, aided by the House liberals,
the state is on the way to complete
revision of its tax structure carrying
out the theory that taxes be levied

Governor Benson'S refusal to re-

who realize from actual experience
that much labor strife has been di-
rectly melted by undercover opera
tives working for Pinkerton's and

Basing his conclusions on testimony
disclosed before the LaFollette SEN
ate committee investigating violations
of civil liberties, the Governor stated
that he considered Pinkerton's &C
tivities detrimental to the general
