Parking Troubles All Over

centre, out they extend over many Main Streets
will be from the following editorial captioned
Main Streets Parking Problem" from the News
Lake Park, Iowa:
Spencer is really going after the business
men and their employees who park their cars
their main street Saturdays-the city
dads want that space for the farmers and
visitors Police tag each such car, and will
make every effort to get them in the habit
of parking on side streets.
And this mighty good stunt that can
well be adopted right here in Lake Park.
Businessmen and their employees should either
leave their cars home or park sufficiently dis
tant to not cause any more inconvenience to
their customers than necessity demands. Give
the farm customers and visitors every
sideration
With the announcement that Saul Centre will
again enforce the parking ordinance Saturday
night it would be well to ponder the above. We
derstand, the local police officials will work along
the lines outlined by the Iowa paper as they too
want the parking space along Main and Third Streets
for the farmers and visitors Might be good idea
to give it try and cooperate with the local author

Amendment No. 2
Amendment No. 2, which will be placed before
the voters November 8h is designed to make less
costly amendments to charters for home rule cities.
1t will create less confusion in the matter publi-
cation necessary to make amendments legal, as it
provides specifically that publication shall be made
in newspaper.
In connection with the recent proposed Charter
amendment in this city, the law which states
that publication must be made in three newspapers
of general circulation in the city village for thirty
days prior to the election misconsrueu 10 read
that it must be published in three newspapers of
general circulation. Hence the publication made
in newspapers at Merose and Albany, well as Sauk
Centre This a costly preceding
If the amendment is adopted such things will not
happen for the proposed amendment to the state
stitution specifically says that publication shall be
made for at least day each week for four
secutve weeks in any daily newspaper of general
circulation and if there no daily it shall be pub
hshed in weekly paper.
If the present law is not plain enough people
generally should vote for the change. Two amend
mens will be presented at the general election and
failure to vote is the mo" vote Amend
ment No. 2, we believe, should be approved
Swat the Spy
For years and years spies have swarmed about
European countries gathering data Notifications,
Sam paid little attention to the spy scare, and
result American people cared little about this activity
which they thought confined to foreign nations
only Recent dispatches reveal that Nazi spies
stole navy secrets from our Uncle Samuel, and
eral of the spies have been taken into custody Our
present American slogan can be changed to
"Swat the Spy"
Our State in the Limelight-
Minnesota is in the limelight with several resi-
dents now before the Dies committee un-American
activities One witness stated that the Communists
tried to take the FarmerLabor party, but that
he wished it to be clearly understood that the rank
and file of the party good American citizens not
Communists. Any other statement would have been
absurd, for the rank and file of Minnesotas people
good Americans regardless of their political af
filiatons. If the Farmer-Labor party has lead
ers who are Communists, it is up to them to clean
house That is their problem. If they don't, the
people of Minnesota may find it necessary to cean
house for them.
