For the second consecutive year,
the Wolf Point Wolves smashed

men in a powerful line that held the
Wildcat backfield in check.
For the first two periods. il look
ed like the Wildcats were going 10
make a strong hid for victory. They
outgained the Wolves in yardage.
al one time penetrating their OPP
ponents' 10-yard line, yet at the end
OF the first half the Wildcats were
trailing. The Wolves recovered a
Wildcat tumble on the locals S.
yard line and marched TO the Is,
from where NJ. Bushman scored on
a weak side play. There remained
only 40 seconds in the half when
the Wolves counted. The conversion

score 6 to 0.
The Wildcats received al the

was made. Score. IS TO 0.
The last two Wolf touchdowns
were made in the last quarter, aft

roles.
The Wildcats last threat TO score
came in the last period when they
made three first downs from mid
field, one on a long pass from Call

The first half the Wildcat attack
functioned neatly, with Backer,
Kjelstrup and Walkowski alternat-
ing in carrying the ball through the
heavy Wolf Point line. The second
half, however, the Wolves plugged
most of the holes, meanwhile get

ball, the Wolves featured straight
off-tackle plays TO the strong side,
'ganeing" Hegland, stellar Wildcat
end. Hegland succeeded in splitting
many plays, however. even though
three interferers were assigned TO
take him out.
Throughout the same, the Wild

Wolf forward line were Jack and

wv r SOMEI1MES WONDER WnaC IL Is
NJ about rural life that makes farm
ers, and farmers wives, more ambi-
tions than their neighbors in towns.
If you don't believe any such difference
exists, show us the farmer who would not
rebel at the suggestion of a 40 hour rural
week, or an 80 hour week for that matter.
Yet the laboring man has cut his working
hours to 48 in most cases, to 40 IN many
and will soon be asking 80 hour week if
history is any criterion.
A 40 hour week, in case you have never
figured it out, usually contains only five
working days in which the hours are eight
to IL and one to five, starting long after
dawn and finishing in time for golf or a
motor jaunt in season.
We won't venture to estimate what
time the average farmer begins his duties
this season of the year but its rare place
where breakfast isn't over and the dishes
washed before eight even in winter and sew
en- or six are more common most seasons OF
the year. And breakfast isn't eaten until
an hour of chores are out of the way.
Chores aren't finished until seven or
eight in the evening on most farms with
later hours not uncommon in three OF the
seasons. Adding chores Sunday, the farm
schedule figures to around 80 hours, possibly
varying from 60 as an absolute minimum to
100 in busy seasons, sometimes higher.
Why, then, don't farmers undertake
sitdown strikes or rush to congress for law
making it illegal to milk COWS by lantern
light or run binder after p. m. Probably
it is because for the most part they are
working for themselves while the laboring
man is working for someone else. Give the
same laborer a garage or shop OF his own
where the profits are his and leisure time
will suddenly lose it's allure, he will work
early and late to make his venture success
and add to the profits.
What the factory worker may have lost
sight of is the fact that his superintendent
and the bigger bosses didn't earn their jobs
by striking for shorter hours or giving the
least possible work for the pay received.
They made the grade by being at their bench
before others and staying when fellow work
ers had gone. The gravest danger in other
wise advisable social legislation is that lab
oring men will come to look upon work as
something to be avoided, and the fellow who
is trying to advance himself as somewhat of
"Scab."

II More Important

~ RANTED that gasoline and vehicle IL
l cense taxes are high at present, Red
- wood Falls organizations nevertheless
appear to be short-sighted in passing reso-
buttons and otherwise exerting pressure
which in effect may prevent the state high
way department from having sufficient re-
venue to carry on an extensive building pro-
gram this summer and next.
Of far more Importance to the city
commercially than any projected tax saving
is highway II from the south, the improve
ment of which was started last summer.
When this route has been graded and sur
faced, the distance to Redwood Falls will be
shortened for many hundreds of families
who like to trade here. At the same time
highway II will become main artery for
tourist travel which can be recommended
without reservations.
If highway department funds are limited
to bare maintenance needs there will be
further delay in completing route which
already has been delayed too long. Redwood
Falls and Redwood county have selfish per-
haps, but very practical, interest in the
highway funds problem.

News Behind the

BIZ Senator J. V. Weber
Slayton, MINI.

RECOMMENDATION and centraliZa-
ton of business, professions and
even the individual seems to be
uppermost in the minds of many
Minnesota legislators, if the ava
lanche of such bills being intro
duced is any criterion.
There are bills to regiment vet
erinarians, optometristS, archi-
tects, photographers, county offic-
ers, public utilities and what not.
Everybody, it seems, wants some
sort of legislation enacted into
law which will raise the standard
of his profession and put more
dollars in his purse. But there is
always a "nigger in the wood
pile" The taxpayers is the forgot
ten man.
Not the least of RECOMMENDATION
bills is the state liquor dispensary
bill, which would put the state in
the liquor business and confScate
private business in the state
conservatively estimated to be
worth ninety-four millions of dol
lars.
But that is just a minor thing.
A bill that would regiment the
electric power business in the
state again makes it appearance.
According to the author, Repre-
sentative Stockwell, of Minneapo-
lis, an appropriation of $250,00O,-
600 should be made. Fortunately
for the taxpayer, Mr.. Stockwell
did not ask for this great amount.
He's just "chiseling in" so to
speak and asks for the inSignifi-
cant CD amount of $4,000, 900.
This bill is not a new one. Mr..
Stockwel has introduced it many
times before and always without
success. This time, however, he
has a liberal house, who he is
hopeful will pass his pet measure.
But the elderly statesman is not
meeting with the success he had
hoped for. Monday when his bill
came up for hearing in the house
committee on public demand, a
quorum was lacking. What the
frey representative said for the
luke-warm spirit of his colleagues
would not look good in print.
The bill is proposed constitu-
tional amendment, ostensibly to
generate electricity with unde-
veloped water powers, and to
permit the state to acquire, own
and operate by steam power or
otherwise, electric plants. In

Everybody's Health

Recent studies of frost-bite and
its treatment show that frost-bite
is far better prevented in the first
place than treated after it has oc-
Cured.
Members of the Minnesota
State Medical association accord
ingly warn everybody who must
go out doors for any length of
time in cold February weather to
consider the painful consequences
of frost-bite and protect their
hands, feet and ears.
When frost-bite is really deep
it is serious matter. Gangrene
is likely to set in with Gripping as
a consequence in spite of the best
available treatment. Just what
happens when frost-bite progress
es to the danger point is not
known. Researchers are still try
ing to determine whether the ul-
GERS and bone destruction are due
to nerve injuries or to vascular
disease or to tissue injury.
In the meantime, good wooden
mittens, warm, well-fitted shoes
with wooden socks and caps with
ear coverings should be worn by
everybody who goes out in the
winter cold.
Outdoor workers are not the
only ones who go without proper
mittens, stockings and shoes,
however, the physicians point out.
Office workers of both sexes often
court frost-bite with inadequate
clothes.

Wrong Method

TAD PRESIDENT Roosevelt's proposal
for getting around supreme court in
L tervention with new deal plans come
shortly on the heels of the adverse decision
on the AAA, opposition to his plan in this
area might have been far less prevalent and
support more enthusiastic.
At that time the failure of the court to
see agricultural problems as a matter OF fed
eral concern, it's tacit permission for the
great steal which the return of processing
taxes to professors amounted to and the
apparent impossibility of any liberal farm
legislation made the supreme court a most
unpopular body.
And it is still true today that too large
a percentage of the court members are ex-
corporation counsels and that the lneVitaole
opposition of certain members to anything
new raises the question of how much con-
sideration needed legislation receives. This
may be a sign of advancing age and 1t is
reasonable that some age limit be provided,
although the 70 years suggested by the pre-
sident seems unduly early.
With the crisis past and the need for
great legislative changes at least temper
arily over, the president would have been on
sounder ground both politically and govern
mentally to have chosen the slow, uncertain
amendment to-the-constitutio method of
solving supreme court difficulties. Nor
would this method necessarily have been so
time taking if the public were aroused to
demand a revision in the presidents favor.
If such public support could not be obtained,
no changes are justified.
So fundamental a change quite natural
ly breaks party lines, in fact the supreme
court has been more than partisan issue
for some time with such staunch Republic
ans as William Allen White lamenting the
failure of courts to respond to what he terms
social and economic growth
But any reference to the presidents
proposal as an effort to establish dictator
ship may well be branded as strictly parts
an. Should his plan be adopted, his appoint
ees would still be subject to senate approval
and once appointed, would be Independent OF
any presidential tampering. The court would
not lose any of it's great power through an
increase in it's membership.
The presidents aim is to clear the way
for the liberal government which voters ap-
proved at the last election. His error is not
in aim but in method.

The F-LVieW

n TOT AT ALL discouraging to any labo
N trouble which may be brewing in Min
nesota is the attitude of Governor Ben
son and the Farmer-Labor party toward thu
General Motors sitdown strike as expressed
in this weeks capitol News Review" by A
l. Harris. Not mentioned are the thousands
of General Motor workers who are not II
sympathy with the minority strike yet ar
out of work because of it. Apparently tn
party is more concerned with dissatisfied
workers than with the larger labor elemen
which believes it's lot is not so bad. Follow
ing is the Harris strike comment:
One thing labor ought to learn from the
General Motors strike is the need for a Farm
er-Labor party everywhere with progressive
officials and judiciary that is willing to pro-
tect that portion of the public that lies out
side the 1857 ,0O0-a-year executives
Contrast the handling of the strike Gov
ernor Murphy of Michigan has shown with
methods used in Minnesota by the late Gov
ernor Olson in the truck strikes and Governor
Benson in the lunberjacks dispute. The
Michigan governor called out the National
Guard to intimidate strikers, and the Mich
igan judges refused to enforce labor's legal
right to bargain collectively
What Motor Lords Sloan, Raskob, Durant
and the Duponts fail to see is that they did not
create the wealth they have rolled in for the
last 20 years. If it had not been for labor
unions fighting for and obtaining better wages
so that they and their families could afford the
luxury of a car there would have been no
General Motors and 1857 900 salaries to
pay the Sloans of the motor world.
When the Literary Digest wired Governor
Elmer A. Benson for his attitude toward the
motor industry's sitdown strikers, the Cover
nor made no bones about where his sympathy
lies
He told the Digest he was in complete
sympathy with the strikers and believed that:
Except for reactionary elements, the general
public is in sympathy with the strikers 1t
i'll behooves the motor industry, which defes
the law of the land giving workmen the right
to organize and to bargain collectively" argued
the Governor, 'to make complaint on the
legality of the sitdown method of the strikers"
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1937-02-11

other words he would put the
state into the business of gener-
ating and distributing electric
current at an initial cost to the
taxpayers of $5O,OOO,0OO, although
MIR. Stockwell says that the bill
should provide for two hundred
and fifty million dollars at least.
What the public generally does
MT know about the StockWell pro-
posal-the news behind the news
is that it would enable the state
to displace all the commercial
and municipal plant management,
and would concentrate the man
agement of the state system in
St. Paul, under a commission. All
of the existing municipal light
plants would be brought into the
system and local management
would become a thing OF the past.
With all of the tax exempt pro-
perty in the state, and total
public debt now estimated at
about nine hundred million dol
lars, many of the members of the
legislature are wondering where
the taxes are to come from to take
care of the present necessities, to
say nothing of such mammoth en-
terpriSes.
But some more news behind the
news is that the Minnesota State
Planning Board, in its November
1884 report, says that Minnesota
has no large water power re-
sources; that its potential water
power is 401 900 h. D., available SO
per cent of the time; and that it
has only 100000 h. p. available 80
per cent of the time. If all of this
available water power were har-
messed for one central point, 1t
would not furnish the current
necessary for one large city such
as Minneapolis. In this case rural
people would be the forgotten
people, though, of course, they
would be paying their share for
the investment.
! Probate court judges are also re-
gimenting. They would have their
salary and clerk hire increased. 1t
is peculiar how chickens come
home to roost." The probate
judges have not been kindly to
the newspapers of the state. They
have gone out of their way to re-
! duce publishers fees in probate
cases, the while the attorneys
continue to charge their usual
fees. The average publisher has
no complaint, but naturally feels
that he is entitled to his regular
advertising rate for legal matter
just as well as the probate judge
has to receive his salary or the
attorney, his regular fee.
