ALBERT LEAFS FESTIVAL
Minneapolis Star-JournaD


Albert Lea is the latest Minnesota
city to get festival-cOnscious, adding
its Colonel Albert Lea days to the
frightening list of special civic doings
held regularly within the state.
These town fetes give impetus in
equal proportions to civic pride and
vacation trade They Danish the
nondescript character community is
apt to take on when it forgets its
role in state history and progress,
and they give the community a per-
sonality of its own.
We doubt that there's town in
the state which couldn't find some
peg-historical or o h erwi con
which to hang celebration. A num-
Der already have done so Brain
erd has its Paul Bunyan festival,
Springfield its sauerkraut fete, Mont
gomery its Kolacky day, Saltwater
its Lumberjack Days. Montevideo
pays obeisance to King Corn. St.
Paul stages its annual winter carnival.
And last but not least, Mime
apolis has its Aquatennial, which will
be helped, not harmed, by the cele-
brations planned by sister cities.
1t all adds up to more conscious
regard and respect for our historical
background and our present proves
in productive fields. And fun is no
side issue, nor should it be in these
days when in other parts Of the world
fun has no place in a strained and
restricted way of life.

CONGRESSIONAL HYSTERIA
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The Senate of the United States,
supposedly the more level-headed and
conservative branch of the Congress,
has set new record for anti-sedition
hysteria since the beginning of the
Fifth Column scare. Amendments in
troduced by Senator Reynolds to the
LaFollette civil liberties bill would
make the United States different only
in degree from Nazi Germany in the
matter of civil liberties.
The Senate, seeing Trojan horse
behind every bush and tree, has
agreed with Senator Reynolds that
no more than 10 per cent of the en-
ployes of a firm engaged in inter-
state industry may be aliens. The
same scheme operates in Germany to
limit the number of Jews who may
be employed in certain occupations.
The Senate has voted that interstate
industries may not employ Commun-
lists or Nazi Bund members. In Ger
many the right to earn living is also
dependent on political correctness as
well as ''racial purity"
American industrialists have not
shown marked inclination to hire
known Communists or Bundsmen;
and the latter have been adept at
concealing their affiliations, particu-
larly if they want a job for purposes
of sabotage. Approval of this futile
kind of legislation reveals a lack of
mature consideration that approaches
panic, and probably is unconstitu-
tional. It does not and cannot ac-
complish its purpose. And that pur-
pose is itself in violation of the con-
stitutional freedoms of thought and
action that lie at the foundation of
the American commonwealth.
The subversive agent will never be
got with blunderbuss legislation.

Pine Is Seventh
In State Traffic
Death Toll List
Only SO Counties Have
Clear Record in 5.MOnth
Period.

Although traffic deaths were two
less than during the same period last
year, only Sc Minnesota counties have
gone through the first five months
of 1910 without having at least one
traffic fatality charged against them,
according to w. F. Rosenwald, traffic
and safety engineer of the Mime
sofa Highway Department.
Just outside of this honor group
of "death-free" counties, however, are
26 other counties which have had only
one traffic fatality to date. Pine
county has had five traffic deaths.
"a total of 159 deaths attributable
to traffic accidents, ~ of them pedes-
trians, have been reported up to
June l." said Mr.. Rosenwald. "These
have occurred in 81 of Minnesota's
81 counties, with Hennepin and Ram
sey counties accounting for A of
the total. Hennepin county leads the
list with "a deaths, closely followed
by Ramsey with 20 fatalities. Murray
county is next in this parade of death,
with IS lives having been lost to
traffic mishaps-11 of these being the
result of the nations worst traffic
accident of the year, at Slayton on
April 81. Blue Earth with nine and
st. Louis with eight deaths also are
listed with those counties recording
major numbers of traffic fatalities to
date" Anoka was in sixth place and
Pine county seventh.
AS is usually the case, Mr.. Rosen-
wald pointed out, the metropolitan
counties of Hennepin and Ramsey are
charged with the greatest number of
traffic deaths, due largely to their
greater population concentrations ST..
Louis county, although third in popu-
lation standings, is fifth in the traf-
fc death list.
How many of these So counties
will still be in this 'death-free' group
at the end of the year." concluded
Mr.. Rosenwald, depends not only
upon the residents of these counties.
but also upon everyone who has oc-
casion to travel their highways on
pleasure or business trips"

Instead of exemptions to individuals,
the single person was given credit
of $40 against his tax; married per-
sons, $50; and credit of SIS for de-
pendents.
The first half of the income tax
for any calendar year is payable be-
fore March Is of the following year,
and the last half is payable before
September IS. Therefore, not all of
the tax assessments for a certain cal
endar year are paid by the end of the
fiscal year on June 80. The amounts
paid after June 80 thus show up in
the following fiscal year.

War Relief Fund
Needs Increased
Plight of Civilian Refugees
Desperate as European
War Spreads.

With the rapid spreading of the
European war the past several weeks
the plight of civilian refugees over
there is becoming more and more
acute. The American Red Cross re-
Gently began a drive to raise a re-
lief fund of S10,00O,OO0 but this sum
has since been raised to S2O,0OO,OO0.
The war fund goal was increased
to help meet refugee problem of
unprecedented and unforeseen pro-
portions" William M. Baxter. Jr..
manager of the Red Cross Midwest
ern area, stated.
after the tragic events of the past
weeks the S10,OOO,OO0 originally
asked by the American Red Cross
will be insufficient to cope with the
desperate need in Europe today" he
said. america is the one outstand-
ing neutral nation where these suf-
fering people can turn for aid. I'm
less their plight is quickly relieved,
there can be little hope for these
stricken populations against actual
hunger and disease. 1 cannot stress
too strongly the urgency of this need"
Early this week contributions had
passed S5,000,000 Baxter said. Many
chapters had oversubscribed their
original quotas, the majority had
doubled them, and number had even
tripled them, in the face of the rap
idly multiplying needs, the Red Cross
official pointed out
Other Groups Pledge Support.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
called upon labor ''to do its full share
at this tragic period in the worlds
history"
Other groups quick to pledge sup
port included: American Legion, Dis
abled Veterans of the World War,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Interna-
tional Lions, Community Chests
Council, Daughters of the American
Revolution, United States Chamber of
Commerce, General Federation of
Women's Clubs, American Hebrew
Congregations, Civilian International,
B'Nai Birth, National Council of
jewish women, National Social Work
Council, the Order of Owls, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Catholic organ
izations, Knights of Pythias and other
nationally prominent bodies.
Many government officials, led by
President Roosevelt, have made pub
lie appeals. Throughout the country
state organizations also are urging
their local units to help provide lead
ership and manpower to chapters
conducting the drive.
Based on the quotas being doubled
nationally, many chapters plan to
conduct personal solicitations of resi-
dental and rural areas as well as
business and industrial districts to
provide the entire citizenship with an
opportunity to participate.
