the most important items to be cOnsid-
cred when the magnateS lay out their
thousands of dollars and drag their
expensive chattels below the Mason
Dixon line.
Minneapolis here at New Braunfels,
Kansas City at McAllen, Toledo at
Harlingen and st. Paul at Marshall
are finding Texas kind in mercurial
treatment and. as result, these four
AA entries are getting away to one
of the best conditioning stars in
years. 1t is especially important in
the case of Minneapolis because the
Millers and Browns were booked to
meet Sunday, the 14th, in the ailiest
| actual opening game the Millers ever
have played.
This is the year of the grand ex-
out one of the strongest comparisons
between youngsters on the way up and
semioldtimers on the way down. You
have Cooke, Reynolds and Kress rep
reSenting the contingent of those who
have tasted glory meath the big top
and you have raw kids striving for a
taste of the small dish. Then, inbe-
tween, are the fellows like Harry Tay-
lOr at first, George Dickey behind the
bat, Spence Harris in the outfield,
BlOndy Ryan at shOrtstOp.
The spirit of ION to NicOllet" which
is so rampant in Minnesota cities is
going to lead to a glimpsing of diff
20,
season. There is going to be more
speed, more new faces on display. We
have been especially impressed with
the spirit in this camp for there are
no dissatisfied souls sitting around on
the grass and grooming to themselves
while their mates hustle.
That's a big load off DOME Bush's
mind. You can find a lot of camps
where the boys report but do not sign
and sit around the hotel lobby waiting
to stir up trouble. The Millers haven't
all signed but they all are working.
The grind itself? Well. the boys all
have eight o'clock calls left in the
morning and must be out of the break
fast room by nine. They report at
the park ready to go to work by ten
thirty and circle the field twice Then
the pitchers keep on running or take
to shagging flies as batting practice
starts and those who aren't hitting or
fielding play pepper games or throw
the medicine ball around and they
don't just toss it, either.
Lunch is served promptly at neon,
the boys gathering on the porch of a
cottage-like arrangement. The hotel
brings out bowls of soup, coffee. milk,
buttermilk and sandwiches and Fresco
Thompson gets very mad if he can't
have his milk. They lie around until
one and then trot around the park,
repeating the mornings proc edure and
knocking off about two or two-thirty.
And right now they're bit stiff.

Those opposing a tax on wealth
have resOrted to every conceivable
device to defeat Governor Benson's
tax program. Fake stories have been
circulated that business concerns are
going to pack up and leave the state.
and that business generally is afraid
of the Farmer-LabOr administration.
Figures in the office of Mike Holm,
secretary of state, give the lie to
these contentious. The year 1886 shows
600 firms incorporated in Minnesota,
which is perhaps the record for all
time in the state. The year 1885
shows SAP new firms Incorporated, and
lis new corporations were registered
in the first two months of this year.

Steel finally has bowed to labor
What twenty years ago was fools
dream today is reality-thanks to the
political and economic advance that
thinking Americans are making
through their progressive organiza-
lions. Since the turn of the century
steel has looked down on labor as
a medieval lord looked down on his
serfs. The steel industry practit ed
the most reacti nary labor policies
known in modern times. 1t was the
first industry to organize industrial
police, mostly from the ranks of the
underworld. Now it has accepted
labor's demands for better working
conditions.

Facts disclosed in the survey of the
state Planning Board committee on
farm tenancy are borne out by federal
investigations, according to figures re-
ported by Farm Research, Inc. The
report of the national group disclOS es
that by 1885, ~ per cent of all Amer
lean farmers were tenants, and that
tenancy rose $50 per cent between
1850 and 1885. Some 2,S65,000 farm
-ers were tenants in 1885, and during
the last ten years tenants have been
increasing at the rate of 40 900 yearly,
according to the committees figures.
The report goes further to point out
that thousands of farmers commonly
considered owners are as insecure as
tenants, because in some areas the
farmers equity in their property is
as little as One-fifth.''
