A few weeks ago, it will be re-
called, Senator Donald Wright of Min
neapolis, on the floor of the Senate,
delivered an excoriatiOn of the Gov
ernor in which he referred to the
chief executive as dictator. "There
was only one dictatorship in this en-
tire special session." the Governor
replied, land that was the dictator
ship of Big Business, the Steel Trust
and the utilities"
Many people have been asking the
question: What is this Minnesota
Institute of Governmental Research
which has been so active during the
special session of the Legislature?
The Governor reveals that it is headed
''by one Harold Henderson, a man
who has been working to put over
a sales tax in Minnesota for the past
two years." The Governor also al
luded to the fact that this organiza-
ton is "mysteriously financed" He
could have added also that it APP
pears to be very amply supplied
with funds.
Farmers will have twice as much
money to put in their pockets at
the end of this years harvest than
they had in 1882, according to the
Department of Agriculture The de-
partment's economists believe that
the 1887 cash income will be around
Sc. 500 100000 which is almost ST.
500 100000 above the 1886 figure and
twice as much as that for 1882. There
has been an increase during the first
five months of this year of 81 per cent
over the same period last year.
The increase is due to consider
ably higher price level this year,
which is expected to continue. 1t
was pointed out, however, that prices
farmers have to pay for goods they
buy is also higher. 1t is estimated
at 1873 per cent of the pre-war aver
age for June, 1887, as compared with
100 per cent for June of last year.
More than half a million Mime
sofa children will be benefited through

tax will amount to approximately 81

commissioner of education, said The
first apportionment last year came
to $685. per pupil. The new income

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

FROM out Ol Tic IluOOuO diiSA wi
MOL of the special session, one thing
appears certain-the question of tax
reform will become very burning
issue in Minnesota politics for the
next few years.
Governor Benson's concluding re-
marks in his statewide radio address
last Friday night in which he named
several Senate leaders as the serv-
ants of Big Business, are OF particular
political significance. The Cover
nor said: 1.-The fight for tax reform
in this state has only begun"
The position of the Governor is
that, despite the increasing costs OF
government due to the depression and
social security demands such as old
age pensions, the tax load on real
property must be reduced rather than
increased. In other words, new
sources of revenue must be found
which will not only meet the new
costs of government, but also act
as a replacement tax on property.
These new sources, he insists must
be taxes on wealth.
The Governors position that the
present tax system is obsolete and
throws an unjust burden upon the
owners of real property is well taken
when one views the tremendous in
creaseS in tax delinquencieS in re-
cent years These delinquencies in
some of the northern Minnesota coun-
ties are so great that the local gov
ernmentS are unable to raise suf-
ficient money to meet local needs by
a property levy.
The Governor found the conServa-
tive Senate opposed to his idea of tax
reform. The reason for this, he in
sists, was that the Senators were
more concerned with protecting
wealth-the Steel Trust and the util-
ities-than they were in bringing
about tax relief for the "city home
owner, the farmer, and the owner
of real property generally"
The Governor said: THE conserv-
alive Senate had to choose as be-
tween the big corporation and the
small corporation and it chose the
former. 1t had to choose between
those of great wealth and the great
body of citizens who earn modest
incomes, and it chose the former. i
had to choose between the United
States Steel Corporation and the util-
tiles on the one hand, and the home
owner, the farmer, and the owner Of
real property on the other, and il
chose the former"

Washington, Jan. 28.--(AP)-Rep-

which she contended would place IA,
900 Democratic postmasters in office

civil service committee she was in
charge of Republican debate on an
administration proposal to put all
postmasters under the merit systems.
Incumbents would obtain civil SER

competitive tests so that Republicans,
as well as Democrats, would have a
chance at the jobs.
The huge Democratic majority
sought to pass the bill this afternoon.

rotary Perkins for legislation to en-

Bay City and Sagi-

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 28.-(AP)-
Three organizers for the United Au-
tomobile Workers of America, who
encountered belligerent anti-strike
crowds in Bay City and Saginaw, were
in a Flint hospital today recovering
from injuries.
They were members OF a group of
five union organizers who set out
from Flint yesterday to carry on
membership campaigns among Gen
ersl Motors employees in Bay City
and Saginaw.
One, John Mayo, OF Pittsburgh, dis
appeared during a clash with hos
tile Saginaw crowd during which
police took the union men to police
Headquarters for safe keeping.
Robert Travis, u. A. w. A. organ
izer at Flint, expressed concern for
Mayo's safety. State police were asked
to hunt for him. Saginaw police said
they had received no such request.
The climax of the anti-union demon
stration came when a taxicab in
which four of the organizers were re-
turning to Flint was wrecked near
Flint. A deputy sheriff of Genessee
county said the taxicab was wrecked
deliberately by another car. All foul
were injured but only three required
hospital treatment.
At Detroit the U. A. w. A. with
drew it's pickets from the office en-
trance to the Cadillac Motor Car

introduced so far dealing with the Ii

liquor stores, but would also put the
State into the LIQUOR manufacturing

The Fiutchins bill, introduced by
Mrs. Charles Hutchins, the represen-

been written by Justice Heriot Clark
son of the State Supreme Court, and
is regarded as being what the dry

the question as to whether liquor

election, this action would automati-

legal liquor. If the "wets" should win,
it would then permit the sale of Ii

Raleigh, Jan. % (AP)-The
House Committee on Manufac-

today against the Mcbride bill
to provide 40-hour week in the
textile and tobacco industries
and a 48-hour week in general
industry in North Carolina.
An unfavorable committee report
usually kills a bill.
The joint public welfare committee
considered the administration old age
assistance and aid to dependent chill
dren proposals section by section, and
the question of counties raising their
funds from liquor sales was injected.
A. L. Fletcher, State commissioner
of labor, urged the group to approve
the labor bill, saying he was getting
tired of being told that labor stand
ards in North Carolina can be no
higher than a highly competitive mar
ket will permit"
Representative Barker, of Durham,
insisted on action at once, moving for
an unfavorable report. A substitute
motion to appoint subcommittee to
work on the measure was defeated
Only one person spoke against the
bill, James 1. Miller, of the James /.
