WASHINGToN.--No single rea-

Roosevelt and the State Depart

called neutrality which Congress
in its wisdom was commonly SUP
posed to have enacted into law.

State Capitol News
By A. /. HARRIS

The resignation of Chief Justice
John P. Devaney removes from the
state Supreme Court bench not only
an able lawyer but person of a de-
cidedly liberal trend of mind. With
reactionary courts multiplying remedial
legislation almost daily, the need of
persons of broad viewpoint and SYM
pathetic understanding of the prob
lens of the masses is greater than
ever. Judge Devaney's dissenting
opinions on the Minnesota bench, par
ticularly the recent iron ore tax de-
cision, stamp him as that type of a
fearless jurist.
Those that regard law as an exact
science and contend that the courts
arrive at decisions bearing on social
and economic questions without bias
have very little to support their con-
tention. Every impc rtant economic
decision not only on the bench OF the
United States Supreme Court but the
state courts as we'll. finds the reac-
tionaries interpreting the law in ac-
cordance with their reactionary con-
cepts and the liberals interpreting the
law in accordance with their lights.
While one regrets exceedingly tie
departure of man like Judge De-
vaney from the bench. there is a
measure of compensation in the fact
that his successor, Henry M. Gale
CHER of Waseca, is likewise a person
of liberal tendencies and. lawyers are
agreed. very able man in his pro-
fession.

Plans for enabling farm tenants to
become owners of their land were
put forward by T. H. Arens of the
Rural Credits department at a hear
ing before President ROOsevelt's COM
mittee on Tenancy held at Lincoln,
Nebr., recently. Mr.. Arens, who rep
resented Governor Benson, at the
hearing, suggested that One-third of
the crop instead of cash be accepted
as payment on the farms of tenants.
In explanation, he said that farms
are worth no more than they can pro-
duce; consequently. it is only just
that there be a division of produce
between landlord and farmer This
would remove gouging by landlords
in bad crop years. He pointed out
that the plan had already been tried
in Minnesota successfully.
Governor Benson in his inaugural
message expressed concern regarding
the rising number of farm tenants in
the state. He pointed out that be
cause the depression had caused many
farmers to lose their land as high as
62 per cent of the farms in some coun-
ties are operated by tenants.
1t is not surprising that those di-
recting the affairs of the Minneapolis
Citizens Alliance have, in name at
least, formed a new organization and
officially announced that the Alliance
is dead.
The Alliance had come into disre-
pute with all classes of citizens. It's
lobby activities against all progress
sive measures befor the LEGISLATURE;
its stool pigeon system in Minneapo-
lis labor unions, and other similar ac-
tivities, many of an undetermined ma
ture, earned for it the disrespect of
all decent persons.
Furthermore, the times today are
against labor-baiting organiza IONS
The message of November 3, was a
bitter one for those who believe that
the great masses of human beings are
on this earth to slave and to starve
for a few industrial masters who
would deny to them even the right
to organize to better themselves eco
nOmically.
The new organization is to be known
as the Associated Industries of Mime
apOlis. Whether this organization will
attempt to carry on along the same
paths that brought the Citizens ALI
ance into public contempt remains to
be seen. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that with the discarting of the old
name also went the discarding of the
old policies.
