Careful! Careful!

The treasury, according to late
news report, makes public the fact
that the social security and railroad
retirement programs cost up to jan
uary l, 1924, 681, 343 more than the
income from the taxes imposed to
finance them. The total eXpendi-
lures were given as S960,975,659 and
receipts $666,294,316. A treasury
statement emphasized, however, that
such condition was not to be con-
sidered permanent.
Social security taxes, the state
ment said, were designed primarily to
build up reserve for old age pen
sion benefits, whereas in the initial
stages they have been applied widely
to other uses, chiefly grants to states
to aid in getting their security pro-
grams started. Such grants, it is re-
ported, accounted for about half the
reported expenditures.
Now, every one knows that in
setting up such large program much
expense is involved, but the admin
istration certainly should take every
precaution to see that such condl-
ton should not long exist and that
the funds should be properly taken
care of so as not to defeat the pri-
mary purpose of the program.
1t must be remembered that the
contributions come from a class OF
our citizens who are not getting too
much of this worlds goods in the
first place and it would be tragedy
for a condition to exist which would
use up those contributions for other
purposes before they had the pro-
per chance to earn a subsistence in
the shutdown of life for those con-
tributors Certainly after the pro-
gram is well under way every pre-
caution should be taken to insure
maximum safety and steady earn
ing power for the contributed funds
so that they are there when the ap-
pointed time comes.

St. Paul Winter Show
Will Feature Stars

Minnesotans are going to have the
opportunity to see Vivi-Anne Hutton,
Sweden's free-style skating cham
piOn, in action.
The 23-year-old girl who has held
the Swedish free-style crown since
she was 13 years old, and Karl Schae-
fer, six times winner of the world
figure-skating championship, will
headline group of internationally
famous artists of the ice, who will
present Gay Blades" one of the most
colorful and spectacular ice shows
ever seen in the northwest in the
st. Paul Auditorium arena as part
of the 1888 Winter Carnival.
Acclaimed as "the worlds great
est ice show" the Gay Blades troupe,
of which Miss Hutton and Schaefer
are members, includes skating stars
from six European countries, Canada
and the United States. They are
under the direction of Bill O'Brien,
tennis impressario who has been as
ISOLATED with such stars of the net
as Bill Tilden and Ellsworth Vines
Gay Blades" which is not just a
skating exhibition but a complete
musical comedy on ice," carrying
its own orchestra, directors, hundreds
of costumes and scenic effects, will
be staged for five days from February
to 5, at the height of winter carnival
activities. The mammoth show comes
to the northwest from the Winter
Garden in New York, Chicago, and
other leading cities, where it played
to capacity crowds.

MINNESOTA'S WEALTH
(Springfield Advance-Press)

\0PI ulSllClo <AoV lCSS|
Minnesota iron mines produced
more ore in 1887 than had ever been
produced in any single previous year
including the banner year of 1929
The iron range should be enjoying
unprecedented prosperity Total ship
mentS from Minnesota were 1857,
280 tons. The average person can
not conceive how much iron ore that
is. Much of this, 258 per cent, came
from the twelve state owned mines
and the states revenues from this
source should show wonderful gain
New methods of refining are being
developed that are making possible
the use of low grade ore. The state
has wealth of low grade ore which
some day will be valuable. No other
state in the union has such mineral
wealth.

A HIGH GRADE APPOINTMENT
(The MINNEAPOLIS JournaD


Stanley Reed has first class ability
fine background, valuable experience
His elevation to the Supreme Court
is recognition and reward for dis
tinguished service as Solicitor Gen
eral. The appointment is immeasur-
ably better than that of Hugo Black
which was blunder.
AS the governments own counsel
in all the cases involving New Deal
activities, as personal pleader before
the Supreme Court in some of those
cases, Mr.. Reed is naturally tagged
as a New Deal Justice. That is nc
more than the country expected OF
the selection to be made It is likely
that as a member of the Court he
will have a strong bent toward lib
eral construction of the Constitution
that he will be inclined to uphold the
powers of the government in cases
where they are questioned.
The appointment is not to be criti-
cised on that score. 1t is far better
to change the Courts trend in this
way than to resort to the packing
process, an expedient that seems fin
ally to have been cast aside-for
which thanks.
Mr.. Reed has a good legal mind
and good training for the job. Doubt
less he will stand aside when it comes
to decision of cases which he helped
to prepare For the future, all that
the country asks of the new Justice
is that he form his decisions according
to the law, not in any way through
prejudice, that he uphold the Con-
stitution and the liberties which it
guarantees.

too good. How about showing some
ordinary hands in which ordinary de-
clarers like myself make the ordinary
mistakes that cost them points? I
really believe that simple hands will

Perhaps there is something in what

The bidding:

IA Pass ~ Pass

"A Pass Pass Pass
The bidding is reasonably good, and
the eventual contract Of four spades
fairly correct, although actually three
no trump is laydown.
West opened the king of diamonds.
South won with the ace and, remem-
bering the old story about people
walking the streets Of London with
no soles to their shoes, proceeded to
draw trumps by the process of laying
down the ace and small one. This
proved to be fatal, since West won
the second trump lead with the queen,
laid down the king, drawing dummy,s
last trump, and now made two dia-
monds to set the hand one trick. As
usual when q hand is chucked, South
complained about his tough luck in
finding three trumps in one hand.
However. he had 10 ways Of fulfilling
his contract. For instance, here is
probably the best line of play at four
spades:
South should duck the first diamond
Then when a second diamond is con-
tinued he should win with the ace.
lay down the ace of trumps, ruff the
third diamond in dummy and then
play = second trump This would
ensure the contract against the 81
trump break, since on that play, even
though the third diamond should be
overruffed. declarer would still lose
but one diamond and two trumps.

the name Of their former home, un-
officially applying it to the new land.
In 1865 bill was introduced in
Washington to establish temporary
government for the Territory. with its
name to be oficially Cheyenne" A
bitter dispute followed as nobody knew
just how Cheyenne was spelled. The
bill was shelved.
Three years later an attempt was
made to organize Wyoming under the
name OF Lincoln" This also failed.
That same year third petition was
introduced into Congress. This bill
passed favorably and on July IS, 1868,
the Territory Of wyoming was officially
