IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our dear wife and
mother, who died one year ago today,
September 81, 1887:
EVER OF THEE
Ever of thee I'm fondly dreaming,
Thy gentle voice my spirit can cheer.
Thou vert the star that mildly
beaming,
Shone DER my path when all was
dark and drear
Still in my heart thy form I cherish,
Ev'ry kind thought, like bird, flies
to thee:
All never till life and memory perish,
Can forget how dear thou art to me;
Morn, noon and night, wherever 1
may be,
Fondly I'm dreaming ever of thee.
Ever of thee when sad and lonely
Wandering afar, my soul joyed to
dwell,
All! then 1 felt I loved thee only;
All seemed to fade before affections
spell.
Years have not chilled the love 1
cherish,
True as the stars has my heart been
to thee
All! never till life and memory perish,
Can forget how dear thou art to me.
Morn, noon and night, wherever
may be,
Fondly I'm dreaming ever of thee.

results in most cases in permanent
increase in wages paid to all persons
affected"

The amended crop payment law
which was signed by Governor Ben
son in April of this year is proving
of great benefit to farmers, asserted
T. H. Arens, conservator of the rural
credits department, this week.
"No farmer should ever become
delinquent under the plan," he said,
because he is allowed to turn over
one-third of the crop as payment of
interest. Even when this does not
bring in enough money to cover the
entire amount, the department writes
out a receipt showing that the in
terest has been paid in full"
The amended law lowered interest
from 5A to per cent and removed
limitations on sale prices permitting
the former owner, his heirs or an
other farmer to buy at the present
value of the farm.
Advice to small, unit bankers to
band together nationally to fight the
growing credit monopoly of chain
banks was given by Congressman
Wright Patman of Texas, addressing
the recent Independent Bankers As
ISOLATION convention in st. Paul.
The congressman discussed bill
he has introduced to make Federal
Reserve Banks owned wholly by the
government, pointing out that APP
proximately 5000 national and 1000
state banks own the Federal Reserve
system, while $500 banks have no
access whatever to that great reser-
voir of credit.
He urged the small banker to
flight shoulder to shoulder with the
independent merchant for their
problems are the same" and COM
mented, in passing, that he believes
Minnesota to be the most progress
Sive state in the union.
Governor Benson, former men,
Der of the Associations executive
board, and Robert D. Berry, state
commissioner of banks, also adj
dressed the 600 unit bankers gath
cred for their annual meeting.

be opened by brief address by Gov
ernor Benson, Commissioner Charles
Ommodt announced last week.
The place of meeting has been
changed from the state office build

the House of Representatives, due
to the unexpected response to the
Governors call. Letters and tele-
grams commencing the conference,
which will map an adequate aid pro-
gram to meet the farmers problem,
are pouring into Ommodt's office.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ommodt an
nounced that he had invited Presi-

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

A two-fold program to conserve
Minnesota'S timber, at the same time
using it to its fullest economic adj
vantage, was offered by Governor
Benson in his Lumberjack day ad-
dress at Saltwater last week.
The chief executive recommended
setting up work projects" in cut
over areas to give employment to
local settlers and lumberjacks in eco
nomic distress, and at the same time
to help rebuild WORKOUT forest re-
sources and provide basis for flu
ture industry here.
He suggested further the develop
ment of timber stands which the
state of Minnesota already owns.
with proper cutting" he pointed
out, "these stands would probably
produce annually a harvest of so
million feet of saw timber and 100,-
900 cords of pulpwood, giving en-
ployment to $500 men most of the
year."
Minnesota now imports fully half
of its timber, and since these pub
licly-owned timber stands are not
i'm locations that can be logged by
private companies at a satisfactory
margin of profit, the state would be
justified in undertaking the work,
the governor said.
The unity resolution adopted by
the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor at its annual convention in
Hibbing last week expresses the hope
and desire of the rank and file of
labor throughout the country for
united labor movement in this coun-
try 1t was significant that it was
adopted without dissenting vote
of the 754 delegates in attendance
The national heads of the AFL and
the CIO cannot afford to ignore the
rank and file demands for unity. No
matter where the fault for the pres
ent disunity lies, if it continues the
only ones to benefit will be enemies
of labor.
The delegates voted unanimously
for the calling of a special one-day
session of the Legislature to pass the
necessary housing legislation to en-
able the state to share in federal
housing funds. Approximately $42,-
100000 is available to Minnesota for
low rental housing projects if this
legislation is passed Governor Ben
son recommended and the House
passed housing legislation during both
the last regular and the special SEES
sions, but in each case the reac-
tionary-controlled Senate turned
thumbs down.

Both Arabs and Jews, long at odds
in the Holy Land, have criticized the
plan, the Jews arguing that it would
block fulfillment of the ideal Of a
Jewish homeland, since territorial re-

The governments spokesman, the

A delay which would permit further
