Voice From Senate
BY SEN. C. ELMER JOHNSON,
From Pine and Chisago Counties

The State Dispensary Liquor Bill is
now ready for introduction. Under
the provisions of the bill municipal
stores are permitted to continue and
others as authorized under the law
may be established. Such stores
would be subject to the state liquor
commissioner under the act and wol Id
be required to buy liquor from the
state and sell it at a price fixed by
the state. The state would be au-
thorized to operate state dispensaries
where no municipal stores are Oper-
ating. No private licenses would be
granted outside of the large cities.
Dry counties and municipalities would
remain dry with provisions for local
and county option elections.

Neutrality legislation crowds in
upon congressional minds increasing
ly. Before the session has concluded.
it will have become one of the gen.
timely big issues. Just now. the Sen
ate stages the forefront of action, and
perhaps the Ashurst resolution may
be said to occupy the center of that
stage. 1t departs from the usual con-
cept of definite responsibility vested
in Congress. and proposes wide discre-
tionary authority placed in the hands
of the President.
That controversy, as limited last
week, will also be long drawn out.
and will occupy minds of Senators
and Representatives long after they
come into the long-weather days of
the session. 1t ties in directly with
the agitation for the bill for univer-
sal consumption and the elimination
of war profits. More of that in a
week or two.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-02-11

roads, industrial groups, stock ex-
changes. commercial agencies. finan-
cial hOuses-all are affected and all
are naturally concerned. To that ex-
tent, Progressives In Congress are CIV
ing close attention to the agitation for
executive reorganization and are de-
termined that the described agencies
are not crippled or absorbed thereby,
or that their authority is reduced to
the point of helplessness.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-02-11

Nevertheless, tie President has
challenged. He has called public at
tentiOn to the fact that most of the
adverse decisions, as far as the New
Deal is affected, have been guided by
five appointees to the bench of Pres
idents who are dead and whose po-
litical beliefs have since been re-
pudiated at national elections.
His proposals evade any necessity
of constitutional amendments. They
do not offend conservative Congress
sional leaders. Yet, if adopted, they
give him powerful appointive weap-
on in replacing aged jurists. They
enable him to reconstruct the entire
judiciary and regain the cheeks and
balances" that governmental pioneers
sought to obtain. They are to that
extent revolutionary.
But most of all. the proposals re-
ferred to are significant because they
project a fight into public and I'M
partisan attention which has grcwn
to be political football pure and sim
pie, and which has demanded is share
of notice for some time 1t is dis
tinctly one of the great issues today
More will be heard, over radio, news
columns and otherwise, regarding this
issue in the future. But in the mean
time, another approaching discussion
might we'll be noted. That is the one
that centers around the reorganization
of governmental administrative de-
partments. Supposedly a measure to
create economics, and save taxpayers
some of the painful federal taxes, the
proposal is being attacked on formid-
able fronts as an effort to hamstring
federal regulatory agencies which
have to do with seeing that the great
corporate interests behave themselves
in their relations to stockholders as
well as to the public they serve.
This touches one of the govern
ments trunk nerves. The President,
as stated Last week, boldly stepped
out with a public rebuke of House
leaders who endeavored to cripple the
Congressional investigative functions
1t now appears that he will again have
to take active steps if he is to save
the big Independent offices that have
been set up over a period of years to
regulate big business. Utilities, rail-

The story of the week of course
centers around the Supreme Court and
the message sent to congress by the
President. Hailed everywhere, ana
properly, as one of the greatest state
papers of this generation, it is recev-
ing the continuing attention of official
Washington as this letter is beirg
written, and will continue so to do
for many days and weeks to ccme.
1t precipitates the fight that has been
brewing since the last Congress came
into conflict with the court, and that
was continued into the last campaign
and forecast in the opening message
of the President to this congress.
1t is startling only in the sense that,
while long awaited, its particulars
had not been foreseen by legislati' e
leaders and observers. If and when
the attack on the jurisdiction ard au-
thOrity of the court was forthcoming,
they held, it would be frontal as
.sauit on the ability of the justices to
declare administration measures I'M
constitutional by majority vote. or it
would revive Congressional powers to
resist judicial advances upon its con-
stitutional powers. Some even pre-
-dicted that a constitutional amend
ment would be presented, regainipg
the balance of power were it adopted.
The President did none of these.
He proposes to increase the courts
personnel if necessary to conduct its
business and if advancing age and
crowded working conditions inter e. e
with public business. He does not in
the slightest disarrange the thought
of those who profess to be concerned
about the Constitution. He merely
suggests that the court bench be wild
cned to take care of additional men,
bers that may be needed, and in this
he escapes a troublesome solution of
a vexing problem. AS one correspond
,ent ably stated, he took the easy way
out

Under the title Of Society for

DR.. Charles A. Beard, political

would publish journal in which
Government employees could voice
their ideas for improving admin

President Roosevelt's Govern.
ment reorganization program was

According to sports authorities,
this exercise is on par with swim

And one has only to look at Sonia
Henie, Maribel Vinson or Bess Ehr-
hart to believe it.
The Rockefeller Plaza outdoor
ice pond is rapidly becoming a rem
devious for entertainers from the
nearby broadcasting studios. Patti
Pickens, Irene Rich and Lucille
Manners are among the most en-

beautiful figures.
So many of the famous skaters
are noted for their beauty that it
is small wonder American women
are turning to this sport for recrea-
ton and exercise. Sonia Henie,
who has been an Olympics cham
pion for 10 years, and BeSS Ehr-
hart, the wisconsin wonder, cut
dazzling figures-on the ice or off
it. Ida Lupino, the Hollywood
beauty, acclaims figure skating as
her favorite hobby, and Elsie Janis,
once idol of the doughboyS, is a
