State Fair Will.
Again Lead All
Fairs In Size
Elaborate Plans and Build
ing improvements Will
Add to Great Exposition.

Another great Minnesota state fair
is in the making. Record premiums
more than S100,000-a great building
program, an avalanche of early eX-
hibits and a heavy demand for in
dustrial display space are factors that
presage record exposition
from September to IL, announces
Raymond A. Lee, secretary
For the first time in many years
the state fair is offering more than
100000 for educational exhibits.
Topping the list is the cattle depart
ment for which S21,458 has been set
aside. Boys and girls All Club
work is second with S19,122 with
S14,370 offered in the horse division,
closely followed by the agricultural,
horticultural, swine, sheep, poultry
and other competitive departments.
Crews of workmen are rushing to
completion the new horse and poultry
buildings, the finest structures of their
kind in the world. The horse pavil-
ion is being constructed of reinforced
steel and concrete, monolithic in de-
sign, is $50 feet by $50 feet, and will
house $50 animals. The poultry pa
vilion is similar in design, $50 feet
by l54 feet. Completion of these
buildings will permit a concentra-
ton of livestock in the west area of
the grounds and will provide Mime
sofa with the finest buildings in the
nation.
Other Improvements include a new
steel and reinforced concrete ramp
to the grandstand, six new speed
barns, new and enlarged auto park
ing areas plus several thousand feet
of new sewers, water mains and cleo
trio light conduits.
Early Entries.
Virtually all space on machinery
hill for farm displays has been con-
tracted for two months in advance
of the fairs opening. Hundreds of
entries have been received in various
educational contests with an all-time
record certain for both quality and
quantity of displays. Complete infor-

A letter from the Caylor Players
announces the fact that they will
not be in Askov Friday night to fill
their engagement nor will they come
in the future. Mr.. Caylor states that
lack of patronage of their shows is
the cause of their discontinuance.
This is the third season the show

it now is, with only II counties having
liquor stores and with the bootleggers
having monopoly on the sale of Ii
quor in the other 83 counties" Sena-
tor T. w. M. Long, of Halifax county,
pointed out this morning. "But the
drys do not seem to realize this and
apparently still think there is a
chance to enact a Statewide referen-
dunn bill or to dry up the State en-
tirely"
Indications are that this same view
is shared by majority of the other
members of the Senate, also that they
are inclined. to believe that the other
80 counties should be given an oppor-
tunity to hold elections and decide if
they also want to have liquor stores.
since it is certain that the IL coun-
ties now having liquor stores will
keep them if this new bill is not en-
acted.
"The trouble with most of the drys
is that they do not understand the
present legislative situation nor the
situation in the State as a whole, %
Senator Gold, chairman of the Judi
ciary committee, said this morning.
What they want is total prohibition
or at least a Statewide referendum.

time.
/ He agreed that the action of the
House in passing the present liquor
control bill indicated that it. will not:
be possible to enact either a Statewide
referendum bill or a. bill repeating the
present laws under which II counties
now have legal liquor stores. Other
members of the Senate pointed out
that it was their business to consider
facts and possibilities, rather than
theories and what the "drys" think
should be done.
The pressure. on the members of the
Senate for defeat of the House liquor
control bill from "drys" over the State
has been much less than has been ex-
pected, it was learned today. Several
senators said they have been getting
just about as many letters favoring
the control bill as opposed to it, many
of the letters favoring the bill COM
ing from former "drys". Senator Gold
said he had received "only about IS
letters" opposing the bill and had re-
ceived about the same number favor
ing it. He said that virtually none, of
those opposing the bill showed any
understanding of the issues involved
and that their letters were mostly
"just against the sale of liquor im
any manner whatever.

North Cardinals other tax laws put

North Carolina's other tax laws put
together.
To begin with, there will be prac-
tically no sentiment against exempt
ing meals. The party platform spe-
officially named them among the
things from which the tax was to
be taken.
Then the committee members be-
gan to consider the 1868, 900 which the
tax has been yielding annually. The
need for more revenue was pressing
Here was something concrete upon
which hands could be laid.
So sentiment grew, but at first it
was planned to put a tax only on
meals costing more than fifty cents.
Members drew really vivid pictures
of the economic royalist, paying four
bits for a meal and not paying a cent
tax. while the much-pitted "little
man. was putting out on his purchase
of beans and bread. So it was decided
to levy on the higher C5racket diners.
Change Number One.
Then it was decided that the party
pledge wasn't such a much, anyhow
and on went the tax ON every kind of
meal no matter how much or how
little it cost Change Number Two.
Finally, it is said, the governor sent
word to the effect that party pledges
are things to be lived up to and not
casually tossed into the waste bas-
ket. Hence the third complete turn

The Lawyers VS.. F. ID. r.
New York World-Telegraml

New York World-Telegram)
The American Bar Assn is meeting in Kansas
City and its president Frederick H. Stnchfield, of
Minneapolis has started things off with declara-
ton of the Roosevelt administration.
/ Mr. Stinchfield, to be sure put it the other way
around "On very many occasions, he said, the
President has expressed what seems to amount to a
hatred of the legal profession. We must believe that
this hatred arises out of the fact that the lawyers are
the whom he finds the greatest difficulty in con-
trolling"
Going on to appeal for nationwide public support
of the profession in unequal struggle which, he
asserted is impending between the President and the
lawyers of the United States Mr.. Stincheld charged
that the President apparently is determined to destroy
the Supreme Court But first" he added, Il believe
he to disarm the lawyers who might speak in
opposition. He will attempt to discredit them and take
away their influence with the people"
Now if a struggle between the President and the
lawyers unequal" with the advantage the Presi-
dents SIDE we think that is not because of what Mr.
Stinchfield calls the Presidents quite unbelievable
powers 1t is because of the way that lawyers have
used their powers, which also quite unbelievable.
The President has his powers because he has the
confidence of majority of the people, even though
they may not agree with all ne says and does.
The lawyers have their powers because lawyers
write most of the laws because lawyers argue the
laws and because lawyers the bench interpret the
laws
The Presidents remarks Constitution Day
about some lawyers and their desire to shrivel the
Constitution into a lawyers contract may have
seemed to Mr. Stinchfied expression of hatred for
the legal profession We fear they expressed what
lot of the American people believe.
~ We think, in short that instead of accusing the
President of intention to take away their influence
with the people it might be well for the lawyers at
Kansas City to undertake some self-analysis-
bankers, journalists and other leaders have done
to determine whether their profession through the
actions of outstanding individuals, has not been the
chief contributor to the pubics dstrust and suspicion
| of the bar.
