WPA POLITICS
IN MIMI NESOTA
(Haverhill, Mass, Gazette)

(Haverhill, Mass, Gazette)
WPA politics apparently was vigor-
ously played in the most important Min
nesota primary, with the help of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to the advantage of
New Deal left-wingers.
There were three primaries, Farmer
Labor, Republican, and Democrat, most
important of which was the first, in
which the relatively conservative former
Governor Peterson was contesting Cover
nor Benson for the nomination to the
governorship.
A figure in the contest was Victor
Christgau, WPA administrator for Min
nesota. Benson and Christgau have re-
peatedly clashed, the last time over the
administrators refusal to approve
100000 weed eradication project spOn-
sored by the governor. A few weeks be-
fore the voting, Christian was removed
from office by the President.
Benson called the removal victory
for the progresSives and punishment for
meddling in politics. Christgau called it
an act designed to give the Benson out
fit control of WPA jobs, which are more
numerous than state jobs and, therefore,
presumably. more useful politically.
Peterson sided with Christgau. And so
uiu Ollleu States DlSlIlCl Attorney ALI
derson, Postmaster General Farley's
choice for the Democratic nomination to
the gOvernorship.
Christgau and Peterson's charges
supported the theory that again the WP
A was being used to help candidates ap
proved by New Deal left-wingers. An
derson's agreement with them indicated
conflict between Farley and Hopkins. If
the indications were accurate the out
come must be displeasing to Farley, but
pleasing to Hopkins.
Anderson finished third in the DEM
ocratic contest. Benson beat Peterson.
New Dealers in general can not be great
ly displeased because the Farmer-Labor
party is as New Dealish as they can de-
sire. That it would poll the biggest vote
in the primaries was expected. The most
anti-New Dealers could hope was that the
conservative wing of the party would be
triumphant. 1t wasn't because of anoth-
er demonstration of the political potency

A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
BEFORE ELECTION

You can find any kind of a reason,
If YOU listen long enough, why there
aren't more candidates for office in I'M
perial county this year, but it strikes us
the principal reason is that the people
are fairly well satisfied with their pres
ent office-holders. The mere fact that
there are not more candidates stands
out. we believe, as sort of silent vote of
confidence in those in whom rests public
responsibility.
1t is certainty that, if there were
widespread dissatisfaction with the serv-
ice rendered i'm any county office, or with
the conduct of the person responsible for
that office, there would be flock of
candidates seeking the office The in
cumbent who forgets this between cleo
tion years is the one who, without fail, is
called upon to defend his position against
a large field of aspirants.
The fact that two holders of major
elective office do have opponents this
year is in no way a reflection upon them
especially since in each case only one op-
ponent is entered. 1t would be utterly
stunning if every office holder here went
back in without opposition.
As it is, all but two in the major Of
flee lists are already elected. Since only
two contested offices, election to those
will be completed at the primary in Aug
ust. AS far as Imperial county govern
ment goes, there might as we'll be no gen.
eral election in November. Names on the
ballots will be mere formalities.
In the face of the peculiar situation
prevailing here, county office holders
should remember that the fact there is no
opposition is, itself, equivalent to ma
jority of votes in their behalf, and should
conduct themselves and their offices ac-
cordingly. Their tenure of office is Sc
cured for four more years-and upon
what they do during the four years will
depend their chances in another election
at the end of that time.

Bruce Cation Says
What is Good is What Works

TO radicals. a good monarchy Is
better than bad republic. FOR
they know that Sweden has ap-
preached more nearly than any
other country to a condition Wnere
there are few who are very rlch,
and few who ae very poor, and
where all are free.
This picture of a great country
paying a largely spontaneous trl-
butte to its ruler, and doing it in
dignified, decent manner with
out wheedling the populace with
nationalistic hokum or herding II
into synthetic huzzas, is like
light in a world of strife and tur-
moil, of bitterness and hatred.
This is no plea for monarchy.
The combination of circumstances
that makes monarchy success in
Sweden probably does not exist
in the same degree anywhere else
in the world. 1t could not possibly
work in a country like the United
States or France.
But the Swedish celebration does
point strongly to the fact that ac-
tuality is what counts in govern
ment If it works, if it makes peo-
Pile reasonably happy and secure,
if it keeps them free, the name
by which a governmental system
is called maenS nothing.

loss of appetite, general lassitude,
Nightmares, palpitation of the heart,
and insomnia. She talked for two
hours about them Then the doctor
stopped her. He gave her thor
ough physical examination includ-
ing blood tests, X-rays, and prac-
tically every medical test known to
modern science. But he found no
physical basis to explain any of
her multitudinous symptoms.
After long questioning, he finally
made her admit that she had had
a violent quarrel with her sweet
heart. and had ordered him from
the house - told him she never
wanted to see him again. Two
months had elapsed and she had
heard nothing from him. She was
violently i'll from nothing in the
world except worry; uncertain as
to whether or not he loved her and
whether he would ever return.
This doctor made a trip to an
other town TO see her sweetheart
and told him the facts. The man
replied that he had not the slight
est interest in the young woman
and never wanted to see her again.
And now the surprise element! The
physician reported the conversation
to the woman and she had the
courage to face the inevitable. She
no longer had any uncertainty to
worry about. So she got out OF
bed within two days, was married
within a year; now has baby and
is very glad that it all happened.
The point of the story is, don't
indulge in ceaseless worry; look
facts in the face, bitter though they
may be, make decision, and after
you have once made the decision,
devote all your time to carrying it
out. Don't spend any time worry

in 1922, he had Harry Lauder on
the air for an hour and twenty
five minutes for which Lauder re-
ceived not a penny. Back in those
days, no performer was paid for
going on the air. 1t was all gratis,
and classed as publicity. Six years
later, Eddie Dunham had Sir Harry
Lauder on again-this time on a
sponsored program-and how much
do you suppose he paid Sir Harry
this time? $4,000 a minute, for 8

LITTLE FELLOW PAYS MOST
alameda { Times-Star)

iAldIneQd 11nleS-SIaf) -...#...
A recent survey reveals the rather
astounding fact that if everyone had to
turn over to the government all income in
excess of $4,000 year, the total sum col
lected would pay only about one-fifth of
the cost of government, federal, state
and local. The survey makes the point
that the great bulk of the tax bill must
be paid by the small wage Garner and
business man. They pay for it in the
form of hidden taxes without, in most
cases, knowing it. Hidden taxes are
part of the cost of virtually everything
that everybody buys - food, clothing,
shelter-necessities as we'll as luxuries
Bread for example, is taxed for 81 in
gradients and landings. If these hidden
taxes were removed ten cent loaf of
bread would make the dealer the same
profit if sold at seven cents. 1t is these
and similar small tax items, that create
the enormous federal and other govern
mental treasury funds.

Political Slaughter :.
The Chance to Win :.

WASHINGTON.-Senator Angus
tine Lonergan of Connecticut is
tentatively slated for political
slaughter by Mr.. Roosevelt and his
New Dealers.
Tentatively only, however, be-
cause the President is anxious not
to stick his neck out in his effort
to obtain nomination of progress
sive Democrats over conservative
Democrats except in situations
where he thinks he has q fair
chance to win.
In Connecticut, nominees are
named by party state conventions
rather than by direct primary vote
and thus far the New Deal STRAIT
egists have been unable to con-
vince themselves that they can find
a liberal Democrat who can beat
Lonergan.
If there is to be a New Deal can
didate it probably will be Congress
man Herman p. Kopplemann of
Hartford. a member of the House
progressive bloc.
Lonergan is in solid with the
Democratic state machine despite
the fact that he opposed the Roose-
welt Supreme Court plan and voted
against the administration reorgan-
ization bill. But the New Deal
elimination committee" is betting
on the hope that the recent Water
bury graft indictments will suffi-
GENTLY demoralize the state ma
chine to enable them to push
through their own candidate.
Certain Washington correspon-
dents have developed bad cases of
writing cramp by simply reiterat-
ing the prediction that Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings was
about to resign and this writer is
not altogether free of the symptoms
himself. Nevertheless the date of
Cummings resignation is somewhat
nearer than it ever was before and

fat that his departure will be an
nounced by fall.

MR. WILLIAMS STICKS
WPA'S NECK OUT

Deputy Works Progress Administra-
tor Aubrey Williams told Senate Cam,
paign Expenditures committee that he
wasn't thinking of politics at all when he
told WPA union meeting that its men,
bers, as relief recipients, should support
your friends"
We find it hard to believe he was
advising the jobless men and women to
contribute to the financial support of
their personal acquaintences. 1t strikes
US the only kind of support a relief client
can offer to friend is political support
As a sort of sidelight on the Will
liams address, however, comes the ques-
ton: How did he happen to be speaking
before the Workers Alliance an organi-
zation of relief recipients whose chief
aim has been to force the Works Progress
Administration to enlarge quotas and, in
general, support the jobless i'm a manner
to which very few of them have ever be-
come accustomed? 1t was the Work
ers' Alliance which protested sending
single men from San Diego to a relief
camp in San Bernardino county, wailing
that the men were sent to "concentra-
tion camp"
1t is the Workers Alliance goal to
make a permanent thing of relief
Official recognition = and even ac-
quiescence, which Mr.. Williams seemed
TO indicate - appears somewhat out of
line with the Administrations announced
policy of getting as many people as pos
sible back in private industry

Men eat where the food is good" is an old housewife saying. This saying also serves as an excellent rule for finding a desirable place to eat in strange territory. Just look around at the various establish ments of eating and where the men are in a majority, as a usual rule, the food is excellent
 Upon further investigation of these eating places that attract men one finds food of quality served in quantity. Frequently one hears, "Ah, but the side dishes are certain ly delicious" meaning pickles, cot tage cheese, peach preserves or a tray of onions, radishes, olives and celery.
 Since these trays or two dish compartments of food add so much to luncheon or dinner why nat make a practice of serving such foods along with the family meal at home. Cottage cheese blends with most other accompaniments. May we suggest that Mrs. Housewife keep supply of cottage cheese in her refrigerator ready to serve.
 Most families have relish dishes of one type or another. But a dish with two compartments seems to serve family needs best. Here are suggestions for delicious combina- tions to be served in two compart- ment dish for family luncheons and dinners.
