Guard Against War

TT is a tradition of long standing and un-
doubtedly correct that gambling debts
cannot be collected through legal pro-
cess On the same basis we presume the
man hired to murder another could not col
lect his fee by resorting to the courts This
brings up the question of war debts.
Not that we feel the foreign nations
who used our money for wholesale slaughter
should feel free to run out on the obligation,
any more than persons who never gamble
would laud the honesty of the man who
welshed on a betting debt, but it is
thought.
A statistician has figured out that the
war cost $4,000 per fatality. A row of 40
white crosses among the French peoples, at
this rate, cost the living, besides the anguish
and permanent loss of sons, husbands,
brothers, cold one million dollars.
1t would be enlightening no doubt to
see that basic figure split down into expen-
ditures for the machinery of war and war
profits, the clothing, food, transportation,
medical care, salaries, bonuses and pensions
for the soldiers of many nations who en-
gagged in the killing of 100000 fellow
men, A large part of the 425 billions of dol
lars which these figures set as the total cost
of the war would be the expense OF restoring
cities, towns, farms and the loss forever OF
treasures of architecture and art blown to
SmithereenS with the bodies OF the men en-
deavoring to defend them
It no doubt also includes the care OF
the millions left with unsound minds, dam
aged lungs and otherwise afflicted bodies
and with missing arms or legs. Probably
no account has been taken of the earning
power sacrificed with their wrecking.
Only defense of war advanced in cen
turies of it is the claim that it must hap
pen to prevent over-population. Yet war
destroys the flower of the nation, the strong
err, harder, young minds and bodies just
reaching the age of production. AS pre-
tentative measure it compares with burn
ing the home to rid it of mice.
Another war is in the news constantly,
some commentators contending that it is
already in progress, although it seems i'm
possible that the horrors and the futility OF
the last one have so soon been forgotten.
In America we must maintain freedom
of speech and of press and guard against
propaganda. We must keep alive the mem
DRY, unpleasant as it is, of that last war in
order that the men coming of age today need
not be sacrificed to the vicious god of war.

The only new member from
the fourteenth district is H. M.
Aune of Redwood county and, as
the list shows, he, too, was given
a selection of committees in
which he can utilize his wealth
of experience in public affairs.
In the opinion of the writer the
most important task of the session
is going to be the raising of as
much money as possible and the
expenditure of as little as pos
sible. Budget requests are much
larger than ever before, relief
costs are still heavy. The state
has pursued the policy of borrow
ing to meet increasing demands
until point has been reached
now where the situation should
and must be met squarely.
This legislature should not adj
journ without having put the fin
ances of Minnesota in such order
that a balance account sheet be in
prospect in the near future.

Strikes Strike Everyone

7 OOKING at the business picture for
1887, as it affects farmers, merchants,
IL wage earners, investors and others,
business forecasters are generally agreed
that the most ominous cloud on the horizon
is the prevalence of strikes.
To the casual observer it might appear
that a strike in a Flint, Michigan, automo-
bile factory would not affect Redwood Falls
persons beyond the fact that a few waiting
for a particular model of car will be lncon-
venienced.
AS a matter of fact almost no one es-
canes some loss, direct or indirect, as the
result of such strike. The dealer is OF
course the first affected His sales are cut
by his inability to get cars for delivery,
while his overhead piles up. His statesmen
find their incomes greatly reduced and his
shopmen, who normally would be repairing
used cars taken in trade at this season, find
their hours reduced as trade stops.
Also directly hit are the newspapers
and other advertising mediums who at this
season of the year normally are enjoying
GOOD business from motor car advertising.
This loss of income directly affects workers
again. the men who are paid from receipts
for such advertising.
Indirectly there is no limit to the dam
age. The stores whose purchases would be
normal with employment in the community
at normal levels suffer loss in sales. Pro-
ducers of foodstuffs, clothing and other
necessities and the luxury industries are
touched when incomes of any group are re-
duced.
Strikes are very sour note in the cur

LEGISLATORS Baby

THE WAY of the legislator must be hard
with II, roughly speaking, tax reduc-
ton organizations working at one ell
bow and 1T, still roughly speaking, tax
spenders working on the other.
Each would-be spender represents "a
very good cause, project the state can
exist without and the amount asked, taken
individually, is small. Taken together,
which the tax spender never does but the
legislator and taxpayer must eventually,
they amount to a considerable figure.
The real tax-cutter makes pet peeVe
of every request for new expenditures ana
would reduce at random all funds provided
for old enterprises. The various groups
range UP and down a scale from nearly rea-
sonable to very unreasonable lobbying
agency is never really reasonable
With every newspaper Ginning IN Tor
tax cuts and then threatening retaliation II
a pet department or project is turned down,
the path of the legislator abounds IN thorns.
Minnesota has several basic interests,
schools. highways conservation, parks, the
university and others for which ample pro-
vision must be made but the state debt does
not warrant any great building projects IN
these fields, although federal grants must
be considered in the matter of highway I'm
anceS.
Savings in state funds, if there are to
be any, must come from elimination OF the
frills of governmental spending, the old
branches which have died on the trunk and
the sap-sucking new frills which will pay
taxpayers no worthwhile dividends in pub
lie service.
All the legislature has to do-and it is
some Jobs to act as judge and jury as tc
what expenditures are worthwhile.

Although it brings tears to these
usually dry old eyes, we needs
must recount the tale of Dan
Crimmins who recently planned
a trip to the Twin Cities. Other
day Daniel trotted down the
street, swinging his well-packed
suitcase looking for the 1886
Studebaker in which he and the
travelling bag were going a'jour-
neying.
All went well until Dan got
thinking of the price of oats or
shoats or something equally agri-
cultural and deposited the
suitcase in a 1881 Chevrolet.
an automobile which as far as
anyone who isn't thinking about
oats and shoats can see, has alb
solutely no characteristics in COM
mon with the 1886 Studebaker.
Anyway, the suitcase had ride

inridge in the 1881 Chevrolet :.
and the 1886 Studebaker took

Abolish Spells

DROUGHT into the public eye during the
X recent campaign, civil service leglsla-
- ton is now being considered in both
congress and the legislature with some
changes relative to government jobs and
patronage likely to be passed in each case.
In submitting such bills, their advo-
Gates are taking the governor and the presi-
dent at their word. To all outward appear
ances civil service sponsors believe that the
building of political machines by filling pub
lie jobs with friends, in many cases incap-
able and inefficient, is abhorrent to them.
The spoils system is a holdover from
more conservative days of political thought.
It's adjustment is one progressive step, how
ever, which would please most conserva-
tives as well as all true progresslves.
A Sleepy Eye man recently received a
letter from a friend in Austria who said,
''You poor Americans who are victims OF
kidnappers, gangsters and strikers" And
we were sympathizing with persons under
the iron rule of Hitler, Mussolini, Stain
and others.
That Is inch football trophy is fine
tribute to the football played by the 1886
team but what we like best is the thought
that had a craftsmanship trophy been
awarded also, the Redwood boys would have
been as much entitled to it as any of the
teams.
Among traffic accidents you can avoid.
Don't start the engine with the garage doors
closed. Fumes lead to funerals.

Capitol Slants
By John M. ZWach

Accompanied by the usual
hustle and ceremony which pre-
cedes every legislative opening,
the fiftieth session of the Mime
sofa legislature has passed the Or
ganiZation stage and is slowly
swinging into line its cumbersome
machine for perhaps the out
standing session since the turn
of the century.
Interesting indeed is the Or
ganization of this session. The
house is overwhelmingly liberal,
having elected its speaker, Harold
H. Barker of Elbow Lake, by
vote of SO to Al, with five liberal
voters absent. In the senate, just
the opposite situation exists. That
body is conservative by a fair siz-
ed margin.
The governors message should
give these groups ample oppor-
tunity to wrangle and manufact-
ure political fodder for the cam
paign of 1888. The outstanding
feature of the message was per-
haps that it shows the governor
as leaning more toward the left
than generally anticipated. Var
ious reactions to the message are
note. They range from laudatory
compliments to alarming fears.
His address contained large and
drastic program and in some in
stances even exceeds the plat
form of the party which elected
him. Neither the governor, un-
doubleday, nor many party men,
bers expect or wish to carry out
all of the more revolutionary
proposals.
Disappointing to many was his
failure to even mention the need
of economy, though his program
which will require additional
millions, does not anticipate an
increase of the personal property
and real estate taxes. Added
activities are to be financed
through increases in iron ore, in
come, inheritance, money and
credits and gross earnings taxes.
Administration leaders are now
preparing the bills which are to
carry out these requests.
The retiring governor, Hjalmar
Peterson, also made some brief
recommendations which did not
conflict with those of the new
governor. He showed a splendid
knowledge of state affairs and
again displayed that fine sound
judgment and independent deter
mination which has won him
praise throughout the state dur
ing his short term as governor.
His suggestions to improve the
efficiency of the legislature show
ed his intimate knowledge of
lawmaking and the recommend
ationS that the governor serve for
four years without reelection is
thought by many to be a pro-
gressive step.
The fourteenth district is excel.
lently represented on the various
committees of the House and
Senate. The lineups are as fol-
lows: Senator Romberg, agricul-
ture, dairy products and live
stock, education, markets and
marketing, rules, state parks and

and fish, dairy products, liquor
control and public health ano
