State Capitol News
BY A. I, HARRIS

ALI Landon, like Harold Stassen
claims to be reformed, revised and
'iberal Republican" Landon's speech
the other evening showed people the
real character of the new progressive
line" which Republican candidates
throughout the country are now try
ing out on the voters.
The new progressive line," is based
ON a formula with four important
ingredients.
The most important part of the in
gredient is to pose as liberal. Lam
don declared his adherence to the
"aims and detectives" of the liberals
but-and in that "but" lies the Sec
ond part of the formula of false
liberalism of words, rather than deeds
Landon, like Stassen, opposes only
"the methods and practices" where
by liberals seek to achieve their aims
The new Republican liberalism" we
are assured, is for relief of the needy
and unemployed, but against 'the
financing of a vast political machine
under the false label of relief
though the liberals favored relief for
that purpose!
A third part of the formula for
pseudo liberalism consists in making
a martyr out of the big industrialist
Thus Landon tells Roosevelt to cease
his nagging attacks on business" but
we don't remember his having ever
told the United States Chamber OF
Commerce to cease financing big pub
licity campaigns to abuse and misrep-
resent Roosevelt.
A fourth part of the formula con-
sists in blaming the liberals for exist
ing economic conditions which they
did not bring about, which are the
natural consequences of the purblind
policies of today's private industrial
lists.
All the people of the country know
that these claims are false face
Why do they do it? Have they had a
change of heart? Certainly not. They
do it because it is clever way to
catch votes, and thus get into office
and there defeat the progress of lib
eral legislation.

ture of Minnesota in contrast to con-
ditionS in other parts of the coun-
try is Dun and Bradstreet statistical
review, which is regarded as the
bible of the nations businessmen.
The latest tabulatiOn made by Dun
and Bradstreet shows Minnesota s
trade barometer as better than 81
percent of the 1928-32 standard, while
the average for the nation is 70 per-
cent. Only the gulf states and Flor
ida equal the Minnesota area.
The calculations are made on five
known factors and general broad
conditions. These factors are whole
sale sales, new car registrations, bank
debts, life insurance sales and de-
partment store sales.
While Minnesota is listed as the
nations bright spot" Nebraska, the
Republican white spot" is in reality
the blacklist black spot of the entire
country. The business graph of Dun
and BradStreet shows that Nebraska
is 10 points behind the average for
the country, and is one of the an
chors which the United States is
dragging along in its road toward
economic recovery.
What to do about tax forfeited
land-and how to prevent its recur-
rence-was the dominant note struck
in a series of public meetings held
throughout northern Minnesota by
the interim legislative commission on
forestry during its recent trip.
Among the recommendations of in
habitants to put their region back
on its feet financially were rural
zoning; legislation allowing the state
to make small sales of timber up to
about $500 without competitive bid
ding, without bonding requirements,
and with the state paying the cost
of scaling; benefit payments for farm
workmanship woodland to be set
up as a special crop under the AAA
program in a manner similar to sugar
beets; and the land exchange amend
ment number one on this autumn's
ballot
Public meetings were held at Ait
kin, Bemidji, International Falls, Du-
luth and Sandstone. Spokesman in
the Duluth area differed slightly from
the other localities in their proposals.
They favored the land exchange
amendment with the condition that
the state conservation department
proceed with exchanges only after
approval by the county board, and
they opposed the setting up of ma
tional park in the Quetico-Superior
area.
With 200 farmers involved, state
and Federal aid have been asked to
control soil erosion in Washington
county. Following a recent meeting
held at the Arcola schoolhouse which
was attended by representatives of
the state departments of agriculture
and conservation, Governor Benson
wired Washington for Federal aid
1t was suggested at the meeting that
CCC labor be employed to halt and
control the erosion along the st. Croix
river extending some seven miles
in length and three miles in width.

A recent survey has revealed that
the annual wheat produced in this
country is sold some Is times in the
futures grain markets of the various
exchanges each year. A movement
is now on to curb this ridiculous prac-
tice that only tends to create higher
prices to the consumer and to create
fictitious profits for the gamblers
dealing in grains.
Proposals have been made to the
Commodity Exchange commission
which will place a limit on the net
position that may be held or con-
trolled in grain futures by any one
person at any one time. Limits would
also be placed on the amount of trad
ing that may be done by any one
person in any one day. 1t is eX-
pected that final determination on
the extent of these limits will be made
shortly after July 10.
Now that the leading business and
financial authorities throughout the
country have rated Minnesota as the
bright spot" of the country from
the standpoint of business conditions,
one does not hear so much of reaction
airy propaganda to the effect that Gin
dustry is leaving the state to escape
Farmer-Labor taxes" This was one
of the greatest propaganda fakes ever
pulled off.

Suggestion for Election Day
Petersburg Press)

Petersburg Press)
 We urge the reelection of Delegate Anthony J. Dimond We urge it because he has demonstrated that he has the well being of Alaskans and the progress of the Territory in mind. Petersburg is of MT Dimonds interest in his cooperation in the harbor dredging Tn his suggestion that the town could get $8 900 refund from the Territory for the money expended in connection with this dredging, and in his efforts to help obtain additional grant of S100O0 for the new Main Street.
 We urge the reelection of MT. Dimond because he is progressive imbued with understanding of the immediate and long term objectives of the New Deal Administration.
 We urge his reelection because he has done a good job and comes to the voters and points to his record in straightforward manner and in equally frank way states that he is wonder worker
 And we urge his reelection because, with his ex- perience in Washington and his contacts with the leaders of administration that will continue for at least another two years he is in the best position to bring about a continuation of the advantages that Alaska has enjoyed in recent years.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-09-12

Major reasons why Anthony J. Dimond should be reelected Delegate to Congress at tomorrow's election
 UnGer his leadership in Washington, the Territory has made the greatest gains toward development in it's history, but the program is only partially completed and Dimond must be returned to see it through.
 The Delegate has standing in Wash ington that no other man could hope to attain under two or three terms in Con- gress. Alaskans will be taking advantage of it by re-electing Dimond tomorrow so that he can carry forward for the Ter ritory.
 Dimond has the complete trust of the national administration which is sym pathetic to Alaska progress. With Dimond in Washington, the Army air base, naval defense bases, public improvements are assured for the Territory.
 Delegate Dimond has kept faith with the people of Alaska. He has worked un- ceasingly for Alaska and has not ignored one provision of the platform on which he was elected six years ago. He represents all of Alaska and all of her people.
 He should be returned to office to- morrow with the finest majority he has ever received. He deserves it.
 Vote for Dimond.

proposal of unicamerals or one-house Legislature. This of vital importance to every resident of Alaska The voters should not fail to express themselves it emphatcaly. It is The Empires belief that the proposal should be defeated. Many others think differently. Regardless of what position the voter takes on the question: he should get the polls and express himself tomorrow
 Then there is the matter of eecting Delegate to Congress the one elected representative the Ter ritory has in Washington look out for it's interests The Empire believes Delegate Dimond has done an excellent job and should be returned carry the work the Territory has mapped out for the future. But again, we urge, votei Alaskans, like all Americans want representative government. The only way get it is to go to the polls and exercise the franchise which you are guaranteed under the American form of government.
 There is a Senator and four members of the Ter ritoral House to be elected in each Division In this Division The Empire believes the voters cannot go wrong in re-eectng Senator Henry Roden and in naming to the House the Democratic candidates J. P Anderson, J. V. Davis, John Mccormick and A. P Walker But it is up to the voters to decide and they should be out in full strength tomorrow to make that decision.
 A Territorial Treasurer is to be named Like it's faith in Delegate Dimond's record The Empire feels that Oscar C. Olson has conducted the office of Treasurer in excellent manner and should be turned to office Again it is up to the voters to de- eide. Tomorrow they have opportunity to make that decision We do not believe there is a candidate for any of the offices who want to be elected or defeated tomorrow by wishywashy half-interested sentiment at the polls They present themselves to the voters. They expect the voters tomorrow to give them the answer, and by that they mean all the voters not small part of them.
 For the information of the voters The Empire presents again the complete ticket. Here is the list from which Aaskans must choose a Delegate, a Treasurer and members of the Territorial Senate and House:
 Democrats
 For Delegate-Anthony J. Dimond, Valdez
 For Treasurer-Oscar c. Olson, Cordova.
 For Senator-Henry Roden, Juneau.
 For Representatives.. P. Anderson James V. P. Walker, Craig
 Republicans
 For Deegate-Al White, Juneau.
 For Treasurer-Will H Chase Cordova
 For Senator-HoWard D. Stabler, Juneau.

 Independents
