State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

Governor Benson took a vigorous
rap at the Senate income tax bill in
a radio address last week. He charged
that the bill, which the Republicans
would foist upon the state, protects
not the little fellow but the big fell
low.
After citing figures to show that
over 100000 persons in the lower in
come groups would pay tax under
the Senate bill who would not have
to pay a penny under the administra-
ton bill. the Governor stated:
1.-The people of Minnesota, whose
incomes are under $4,000 a year,
would pay under the Republican in
come tax bill $471,0O0 more in inc me
taxes than they would pay under the
administration bill. where's those per-
sons with incomes of over $4,000 a
year would pay $641,OOO less under
the former bill than they would under
the latter bill"
If any corporations would be driven
out of the state by confiscatOry taxes,
it would certainly be the 1886 cor
porations whose net incomes are less
than $4,000 which would feel TIE
brunt of the conservative tax bill.
The Governor also poin ed to loop
holes in the Senate bill which would
enable large corporations ems a ed in
interstate business to escape taxes
entirely by establishing a sales
agency i'm another state.

Governor Benson lent his support to
the movement to free Tom Mooney,

Representative Henry G. Young,
last week answered the charges by
Senator A. ]. Rockne, veteran con-
sentative leader, concerning a land
purchase deal by the highway depart
ment in ISanti county. Mr.. Young
called attention to the fact that those
charges were publicly Ietracted in
Isanti county during the 1886 cam
paign. He declared that Rockne's
real purpose was to aid the gasoline
trust, the Standard Oil Co. and other
big refiners.
1t was pointed out by other sena-
tors that p. j. Schroeder, spokesman
for the gasoline trust has been send
ing mimeOgraphed papers to members
of the legislature containing errone-
Gus figures concerning gasoline taxes
in Minnesota and Minnesota highway
expense. Earlier in the session a
member of the Senate accused Mr.
Schroeder of lobbying in the Senate
chambers.

The taxability of other shares of

auditor was right in taxing the shares.
Previously, the attorney general bad
ruled that corporation shares are tax
able.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace's ever normal granary crop
insurance plan is expected to go

Highly civilized America can learn
a lesson from the lowly Indian who
has so often been considered back
ward and inefficient by his white
brothers. The tiny Indian cOopera-
tive community of Metlakahtla in
southeastern Alaska has prospered to
such an extent from it's salmon
fisheries that it recently donated
81, 900 to aid flood victims in Ohio
and Kentucky. This, while American
communities were clamOring for aid
to pay their school teachers and carry
on municipal business!

Interesting high lights of President
JeffersOn's struggle against pre-emp-
tory powers of the Supreme Court in
the early days of Americas history
are given by District Judge Vince A.
Day, in an analysis of the Constitu-
tion and the history of the Supreme
Court.
During Jefferson's term of office
the Supreme Court was suspended for
IA months in order to prevent it from
declaring acts of Congress uncOnstitu-
tiOnal. Jefferson, points out Judge
Day, conducted a bitter struggle
against Chief Justice Marshall who
more than any other person set the
precedent which was to enable sue
ceeding justices to usurp powers and
fOist upon the nation a dangerous doc
trine which would place us under the
despOtism of an oligarchy, in the
opinion of Jefferson. ION this hypo-
thesis" Jefferson stated, 1.-The Consti-
tuition is a mere thing of wax which
the judges may twist and shape in any
form they please"

WORLD ARMAMENT
 RACE DANGEROUS

New York, April 6-(UP)-zSecre- tary of State Cordell Hull told the Woodrow Wilson foundation last night that a world armament race could lead only to a military ex- plosion or an economic collapse.
 Hull was guest of honor at a din- ner at which he received the foun- dation's bronze plaque in recogni- ton of his "unremitting" efforts to remove the economic barriers of peace."
 Speaking on the eve of the 20th anniversary of Americas entrance into the World war, he pleaded for world acceptance of the type of economic peace that Woodrow Will son envisioned in his IA points which formed the basis for the ar- mistice.
 The secretary declared that re- newal of friendly trade and politi- cal relations throughout the world was the "only way" to avoid the Impending doom" of another great war or depression.

CIVITIANS MUST QUIT VILLAGES

Hendaye. Franco-Spanish From tier, April 6t(UP)-All civilians were ordered evacuated from the loyalist held towns of Durango, Ochandiano, Ell Orio and Eibar, south of Bilbao, today while both armies settled down to death strug- gle on the Basque front.
 \. Though the elaborate loyalist de. fense positions and difficult terrain slowed down General Emilio Mola' s sixth nationalist army's advance to- ward Bilbao today, the insurgents maintained steady pressure.
 Their immediate objective was to widen the gap between the strongly fortified Basque positions at Ochan- diano and Mondragon, both of which are key positions command ing entry to the valleys leading to Bilbao.

CHRYSLER, LEWIS
 NEWSACREEMENT

Lansing, Mich., April 6. (UP) = Informed sources believed today that Walter P. Chrysler and John L. Lewis would agree within 36 hours upon formula to reopen nine strike-closed Chrysler plants and send 60,O0O automobile workers back to their jobs.
 The two men = Chrysler the manufacturer, and Lewis, the union leader = meet again at 10:30 a. n,, E. s. T., with Governor Frank Murphy in an effort to adjust their differences. Throughout this in- dustrial area there was feeling that an agreement was near.
 Murphy hoped that out of the ne- gotiiatiors would come not only a Chrysler settlement but formula which could be used to end strikes involving approximately 13,500 em- ployes in Hudson and Rec plants here and in Detroit.

LOCAL WPA MEN
 SHIFTED TO PWA
Indefiniteness of Employ. ment Adds to Worries of
 Present Workers

Tn keeping with the spirit of the spring season local WPA employees for the next few months, will take part for the second successive year in their own private double-play combination. It is true that the terms WPA and PWA are substitut- ed for Tinker to Evers, but the last name in that famous combination ot the days of yore is most appro- priate.
 So far, according to unofficial re- ports, there have been some 30 local WPA workers who have been draft ed into service on the PWA roles Some twenty of these men report to work tomorrow, some have al- ready reported, and 1t is expected by local WPA and welfare depart ment officials that as the warm weather approaches there will be many more.
 The situation, as was the case last year, will be source of consider able annoyance to those in charge of the local WPA for the best men are always taken by private con- tractors for PWA jobs, thus badly hampering the efficiency of the Waterbury WPA Set-up.
 That in itself is bad enough, the Democrat learned today, but in ad- dition the Chance" part of the double-play then crops up and makes it worse for the men.
 For some systerious reason the men who are taken from the WPA roles and placed on PWA projects have no idea how long the job will last. Some of them last two months some only for two or three days. This is where the Chance" ele- ment enters into the double-play After the PWA job has been com pleted the men report back to the welfare department and application is made to reinstate the men or WPA. And, as was proven by last years long wait on the part of the men who were trying to get their hands on some pink transfer slips it will be actually nothing more than WPA to PWA to Chance.

DEMOCRATS ARE
 SWEEPING MICH.

Detroit, April 6. (UP)-Returns from more than two-thirds of Michigan's 3,480 voting precincts in- dicated today that the democratic party would duplicate its victorious sweep in the November elections.
 Democrat candidates for nine state off1ces-only one in incumbent seeking reelection = were leading republican opponents on the basis of these returns. Normally demo- cratic Wayne county (Detroit) ap- peared to again be offsetting the heavy republican vote upstate for two justices of the Michigan Su- prerf1e court, two regents for the University of Michigan, state high way commissioner, two members of the state board of agriculture, a superintendent of public instruction, and a member of the state board of education.
 Leading his party's ticket with a 76,00O vote margin on the basis of returns from 2,953 precincts, was Murray D. Van Wagoner, incumbent highway commissioner. In demo- cratic state circles Van Wagoner was second in importance only to Gov. Frank Murphy whose labor policies in present sit-down strikes were considered an issue in yester- days election.

Thomaston, April 6-An increase of $75 over that of September, 1886, to all women teachers and janitors in the high and elementary schools was voted by the local board of edu- cation at its regular meeting last night. The salary adjustment which consumed much time and furnished considerable debate followed vote by ballot on each individual mem- Der of the teaching staff to be em- ployed in the local schools during the coming year.
 Since the resignation of Miss Frances Doyle was rendered by Superintendent Raymond N. Brown at the opening of the meeting but 27 of the present teaching staff of 28, recommended by the superin- tendent for positions, were consid- cred. Of this number the board voted to hire all but two. The vote in regard to the two not engaged provoked a general discussion which caused the board to further vote to give the matter consideration at the next meeting.
 In regard to the vacany which will occur on the high school teach ing staff by the resignation of Mis Doyle which becomes effective May 1, the board voted to engage the services of a substitute for the bal ance of the school year.

COMA WOMAN IS
 SENT TO PRISON

Los Angeles, April 6.-(UP)-- Mrs. Helen Wills Love, who lapsed into a psychic coma and lay sense- less for week after 8 jury found her guilty of second degree mur- der, was adjudged sane and today was under sentence of seven years imprisonment.
 Sentence was delayed three weeks while a psychiatrist reused her by a series of semi-hypnotic treatments and the question of her sanity was decided.
 A jury decided in ten minutes yes- terday that the 31-year old bru- nette was sane. Her lawyer had argued that her strange sleep proved she was insane at the time she killed her husband. Superior Judge Frank M. Smith overruled a motion for new trial before inl- posing sentence.
