arranged by San Francisco labor and

On Saturday Governor Benson de-
livered an address before the annual
convention of the Oregon Common
wealth Federation on the subject,
1.-The Farmer-Labor Program for the
Crisis"
"Our Farmer-Labor view of gov
ernment," he said, land of society
does not represent new philosophy.
1t is merely Abraham Lincoln's phil
osophy of government of the people,
for the people, and by the people car
ried into the conditions of our times.
1t is simply renewed expression of
the Declaration of Independence. We
in the Farmer-Labor party hold that
government and the laws exist for the
people, and not the people for the
government and its laws"
Bad medicine for the reactionaries
is Secretary of Agriculture Wallace'S
recent statement that unity between
the farmer and the worker is neceS-
sary and beneficial to both. Reac-
tionaries have been telling farmers
that their economic interests are OPP
posed to those of city workers.
Senator Henrik Shipstead continued
the fight started by Governor Elmer
A. Benson while he was in the Senate
by charging last week that the Re-
construction Finance Corporation is
attempting to force diSmemberment
of the Minneapolis and st. Louis
Railroad.
1T is a rather dangerous blazing
of trails to have so powerful an
agency as the RFC make govern
ment aid to distressed railroads de-
pendent upon its own preconceived
ideas" Shipstead said in taking issue
with the statement of RFC experts
that $l3,600,000 will be needed to re-
organize the road. 1t can be done
for half of that, he said.
The vigorous campaign by State
Liquor Control Commissioner Will
liam Mahoney to prevent spread OF
Illicit liquor sales has, besides en-
barrassing Minneapolis Mayor George
E. Leach, resulted in greater rev.
enue for the state. Increased taxes
with those provided for in the last
legislature, will bring in more than
100000 this year as compared with
S4,300,00O in 1886.
