Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutso
Old Age Pensions


At my request we have had three
conferences on old age pension
legislation during the past week.
1t is needless to say that there are
about as many different views on
this question as there are points
to the compass and our job Is to
work out a compromise that will
command enough votes in the
House to pass it. Among those
present was Congressman NEGRO
aIty Of California, who introduced
the original Townsend bill and later
the Revised McGroarty bill which
helped to draft. What we have
agreed upon is, Of course, a compro-
mise. 1t had to be, but I consider
it great improvement over what
we have now in that it will SUBJ
stantially increase the amount of
pension and at the same time elm
mate the counties as participants.
Under the plan that we have agreed
upon, which will incorporate in the
bill shortly to be introduced, the
federal government will contribute
two dollars to the states one dol
lar. The governments contribution
will go up to $40 per month for a
married couple and $50 per month
for a single person. This would
make a possible maximum of $50
per month for a married couple
and $45 per month for a single in
dividual. I realize that there will
be those who will say that it is too
much and others who will say that
it is not enough. The present pen
sion allowance is insufficient, es-
pecially in northern states where
we have long and cold winters
which means big fuel, food, and
clothing bills. AS have said right
along pension legislation is a gradu-
al process and any old age pension

to less than 40 per cent of pre-de-
preston levels. Mr.. Edwards based
mis- conclusion on the decline In
gross incomes Of farmers, the de-
Ginning farm population, the rise
In farm tenantry and the number Of
foreclosures during and since the
depression. Mr.. Edwards also call
ed attention to the fact that ten
or fifteen large processing corpora
tions practically control the food
supply of the country and that the
Federal Trade Commission Is pow
erless to prevent combines Of this
nature. He urged that the Clay
ton Antitrust Act be amended so
as to make it possible to break this
strangle hold on our food supply.
There Is no doubt but that we have
been paying altogether too little
attention to monopolies the past
few years and something will have
to be done to curb them as they are
again assuming such proportions as
to be menace to the general well
fare.

That story may not be entirely
to the point, but along about this
time of legislative session, every
legislator wishes that he might do
many things at once, so heavy does
the work become. Every member
has bills which he wishes to get
out of committee. At the same time
he must rush from one committee
to another to listen to proponents

able that many a solon Is weaken
ing.
It is but natural that the writer
of such q column, touching, as II
does, upon many things, must
draw some criticism. AS q newspa-
perman Of many years, your cor
respondent is accustomed to that.
Not to draw fire would mean that
such a column was merely SO
many words. The reader Is remind
ed, however, that this column does
not necessarily reflect the opinion
Of the editor Of the paper but is Of.
fered merely as a ''bill Of fare"
from which they may take what
they like and leave that which Is
not palatable.
That Governor Benson has a
mind of his own is daily becoming
more apparent. Every once in a
while he scolds even his most ar
dent supporters. Not long since, he
and Senator Lommen, the states
foremost orator and master of
words, spoke before the Fourth
District Women's Clubs. Sen. Lom-
men, among other things spoke on
the proposed Pari Mutuel bill,
which would permit betting upon
horse races. The Senator gave
sound argument. He showed where
in many thousands of dollars
would accrue to the state by the
enactment of such law. He made
a good impression, but his efforts
went for naught, the Governor,
following him, not only taking his
Senate floor leader to task for
even daring to mention such a pro-
posal, but informing his audience
that so long as he was Governor
any race-horse betting bill would
be vetoed. The Senator was not
phased. He is accustomed to being
over-ruled.
Farmers of Minnesota in the
drouth area will be able to get
seed as in 1885 under the bill pass
ed the forepart of the week and
agreed to in conference on Thurs
day. The seed grain received may
be paid for in cash or in kind, ~
for every bushel of grain
received, and three bushels of corn
for one bushel received. The pay
ment in kind of corn was increas-
ed by reason of the cost of seed
corn which usually amounts to
from $500 to $500 per bushel,
which great cost, is caused by the
expense involved in tests for ger
mination. The law, as in 1885, will
be administered by the State Aud
itor, the County and Township
Boards.
Governor Benson's pet measure,
the state liquor dispensary bill, APP
pears headed for the limbo of for
gotten things. Despite protests
from every corner and section Of
the state that for a time doubled
the mail receipts of every legisla-
tor, the Governor has not lost hope
and has pressed for action. That
his controlled House is not desir-
Gus of such legislation was indicat-
ed this week when the House COM
mittee on Liquor Control refused
to recommend the bill for passage
and held it over for another week.
Delaying recommendation Of bill
at this late stage Of the session en-
dangers passage of a bill in the
extreme, and doubtless the House
thought along this
line is father to their action.

strengthened as the necessity there
for manifests itself.
Cash and Carry" Neutrality
The neutrality resolution which
passed the Senate a week ago by
vote OF SO to is not going to
give us the sort Of neutrality that
the American people want. Under
its operation any country would be
free to come here and buy war ma
terial on a cash and carry basis
which, of course, would give the
countries with the biggest navies
the inside tract, If not an absolute
monopoly on our market. There is
no neutrality about that The pas
sage of the resolution was vigorous
ly opposed by Senators Borah and
johnson, both of whom declared
that its operation would inevitably
drag us into the next war. I am
inclined to believe that it is true.
1t is to be hoped that when the res
olution comes to the House it will
be changed so as to provide for an
out and out embargo policy. That
is the only way to keep this coun.
try out of future wars.
Navy Bill Passes
On Friday last the House passed
the Naval Appropriation bill by al
vote of q to SO. The measure
carried an appropriation of 526
million dollars for the fiscal wear
ending July 1, 1888. The outstand-
ing event during the consideration
of the measure was an amendment
offered by the Chairman of the
Committee in charge Of the bill
asking the President to call a con-
ference of the great powers with
view to securing an agreement to |
limit expenditures for ornaments.
The proposal was defeated by a !
rather narrow margin. On Monday

which asks the President to call |
such a conference, If within his /
judgment, the time Is opportune.

tons of the world must reach an

ments If we are going to avoid in

of this country spending 526 million
iollars on it navy in one year, which
IS an increase of 40 per cent over

ago, does not appeal to thinking

President would call such a confer
