farmers from Minnesota ana WlScOn-
sin attended.
Governor Benson, asked to welcome
the farmers, said that farmers of
the Northwest realize this nation can
not continue with agriculture in the
condition of the last 20 years"
He pointed out that as soon as in
dustry went on its Shutdown" strike
and threw employees out of work agri-
culture was not long in feeling the
pinch.
Farmers are not well satisfied with
present agricultural conditions, a
cross-section poll of western Mime
sofa farmers taken by the Minnesota
Leader reveals.
Many stated a belief that there is
less money in the country than last
year, while prospects for next year
do not appear particularly bright.
Low prices combined with a heavy
debt load have brought hardships, the
farmers said.
Strong expressions against dicta-
tors were given, and apprehension
because of the war clouds hanging
over the world was expressed. Polit-
ically, most believed Roosevelt has
been a good President and that Gov
ernor Elmer A. Benson should be
reelected.

the facts, even though the actual
figures may be technically correct.
We agree with the people in the
country. City people get back much
more than 9 percent.

day, you will see hundreds of cars
going over the highways through the
rural sections, and those cars are
going from one city to another, for
business purposes. Even though the
highway has been laid in a rural
area, city people are getting the use
of them.
If you ride the highways on a
weekend or a holiday, you will find
a stream of cars, filled with city peo-
pie, going out on holiday or re-
turning from one That is part of
what they get for the gas tax, even
though the highway has been laid
through a rural area.
If you go down to the bus depot
in Minneapolis, st. Paul, or Duluth,
you will find numerous persons from
nearby small towns who have come
into those cities over the highways,
to spend money in the cities.
The statement at first glance seems
alright, but careful examination
shows it to be a grave misrepre-
sentation of fact, like many of the
other statements which appear in the
dailies relating to taxation.
