that Baby Face didn't like" Chris
Jensen recalls. "He poked the gun
through the coupe window and plaz-

Baum was killed instantly.

The hottest day of the summer
Of 1887 saw the hottest scrap on
any bill thus far considered by the
Senate during the special session.
1t was on the Money and Credits
Tax bill that was passed by the
House. after an hectic ordeal in
that body. Though the Senate Tax
committee reduced the House bill
from mills to the present rate Of
8 mills, 1t left the penalties in and
it was the question of these penal
ties that caused the debate and
would in all probability have caus-
ed the death of the bill had not ad-
journment been taken.
The penalty feature, however,
irked Senators Carley, Rockne and
others. They pointed out that 1t
would make for wholesale felonies
and that If enforced would fill our
jails with honest but uniformed
people. The bill was re-referrea
back to the Tax committee where
penalties were made less drastic.

Such A Relief!
AS this article appears, toward
the conclusion of the special ses-
sion's sixth week, Minnesota legis-
lators may already be making final
preparations for adjournment. It
looked last weekend as though 1t
could be done easily before the
Fourth. Senators were rather OPP
timistic as to adjournment pros.
poets, House members a bit less so.
While House action on some late
measures came fairly early during
the special term, the tempo in that
chamber has been gradually lag
ging. 1t took four days Of virtually
fruitless debate on the 17-million-
dollar relief bill before the House
took conclusive action on it. And
relief at ending that discussion
was short-lived because, on its
most important phases, many
members themselves admitted that
they were passing the buck to the
Senate in the hope that mistakes
would be corrected there.
City representatives were most
outspoken in their insistence upon
keeping relief OUTLAWS at the high
est possible levels. Some of their
country brethren were equally in
sistent on reductions. And those
''betwixt and between" whose vot-
es determined the outcome were
fearful Of stirring relief beneficiar-
les to protest. Conversation with
one city solon found him making

"SIT-DOWNs" ON THE FARM
John Turnipseed in Prairie
Farmer)

We are indebted for the follow
ing to Lester Calkins, of Route two
Sank Centre, who received the
clipping from his mother, Mrs. G.
c. Calkins, of Eugene, Oregon:
Where have you been lately?
says the elevator man to me the
other day. I amt seen much Of
you. I've been havin' a sit-down
strike, I says. Us farmers is moth
in If not up to date.
What have you been sittin' on?
he says.
On the seat of the tractor,
says. I've been a sittin' there about
IA hours a day, so as to git my
crops in on time, to raise my share
to feed some of them fellers in the
city that don't seem to care
whether they work or not.
My wife is a sit-down striker, to,
I says. She sits oH the kitchen
stool doin' dishes, and at the sew
in machine maxim the familys
clothes. My boy Johnny is sittin'
on the milk stool, and even the
hens is sittin'. In fact, ours in the
sittin'est place you ever saw.
/ don't know if We'll git our I'M
ion recognized or not. In fact,
don't know as I'd recognize my
self, on account I amt had time
to look in the glass for a week.
Your whiskers look like it, says
the elevator man.
BY the time I've put in three 40
hour weeks from Monday mornin'
to Saturday night I don't have no
time to shave, I says.
I thought the government was
payin' you farmers to put your
land down in grass, says the eleva-
tor man.
We earn all we git, I says, learn
in new words like compliance and
soil-depletin' and erosion and a lot
more that I can't even spell. What
the government ought to do is
guarantee us a price and let US
raise all we want.
Then you'd want 'em to send out
the WPA to kill your grasshoppers
and chinch bugs, the elevator man
says.
That's just what they ought to
do, says. What's the use of hav-
in a government that don't look
after it's citizens?
He didn't have no answer to
that one so went home and start
ed sittin' again.
