Three FL. Speakers
Blast Stassen Rule

Governor Stassen's administration
underwent scorching attack Tues
day evening, January %, from three
Farmer-Labor leaders, speaking over
WCCO, WTCN and a chain of other
stations.
Representative Harold L. Peterson
of Willmar, state secretary of the
Farmer-Labor Association, attacked
the governor for "his recent Alice-in-
Wonderland broadcasts" about the
condition of state affairs
Peterson called attention to the
bringing into this state of four men
from Michigan to head Minnesota S
civil service department. The four
men are Pennebaker at $500 month;
R. l. Birenbaum Cor ''Biron") at $3.50
month; C. Kendzierski Cor "Kend-
zie'0 at $240 month; and Boynton
Kaiser. Peterson challenged the adj
ministration's statement that no quail
flied persons were available in Min
nesota for these jobs.
He attacked the administration for
continued failure to produce the quar-
terly financial statements required
by law, and said this was because of
confusion reigning in state depart
mentS and agencies.
He asserted that improvement in
building in the Twin Cities was not
due to the Stassen administration, as
claimed, but to policies of the Federal
government aiding the private con-
struction industry by means of loans
for building and repairing. Peterson
also pointed out that Improvement
in farm income and industrial activ-
ity was higher in neighboring states.
Rasmussen and Lommen Talk.
Paul A. Rasmussen, former state
budget commissioner, was the second
speaker.
He denied the governors statement
that the States cupboards were
bare" last January. He said there was
surplus of S7,5OO.OOO in the state
income tax fund left from the past
administration, and an accumulation
of over eleven million dollars in state
trust funds from the previous two
years.
He said the governors claim that
there was two-million dollar deficit
in the highway department last jan
uary was not true. The governor,
Rasmussen said, was disregarding the
more than two million dollars in gas
collections for November and Deem
Der, 1889.
Final speaker was Senator George
Lommen of Eveleth. He accused the
governor of penalizing thrift by means
of the old-age lien law, and casti-
gated the governor for having re-
quested him to reveal the name of
one of his clients.

Newspaper Deal
Leaves But Four
In Pine County
Publishers of Pine Poker
Purchase Pine County
Pioneer and Consolidate.

This marks the first week that Pine
county citizens will read but four
newspapers published within the
county. The Pine County Pioneer
this week became a part of the Pine
Poker in what will be called the Pine
Poker-Pioneer. This situation is the
result of purchase several days ago
of the Pioneer by w. S. McEachern
and D. r. Wilcox, publishers of the
Poker. The purchase included the
newspaper and subscription list to-
gether with a typesetting machine,
but does not include any of the ma
chinery, which will possibly be moved
elsewhere by the former Pioneer
owner, Howard Folsom.
The publishers of the new news
paper consolidation announce that
subscribers of the Pioneer who are
paid in advance will receive the Pine
Poker-Pioneer for the length of time
they are paid in advance.
In accepting their new responsible
ity to the trade district of Pine City,
the publishers Of the newly combined
newspapers make the following state
ment:
although the purchase of the Pine
County Pioneer means a considerable
investment, the publishers of the Pine
Poker feel the consolidation of these
two newspapers will be beneficial to
Pine City and the south end of Pine
county.
1--WE will endeavor in the future,
as we have in the past, to work for
the best interests Of this community
at all times. 1t has been the support
of our patrons that has made possible
whatever success we may have had
with the Pine Poker. We take this
opportunity to express our sincere
thanks for your past patronage and
trust we will merit your continued
support of the Pine Poker-Pioneer.
