Hello, Everybody:

Hello, Everybody:
Your correspondent, when in a
pensive mood, continually thanks
her stars that she is living in the
United States, where we have not
only freedom of speech, freedom of
worship and the freedom to print
the truth without it being censored.
Or have we? Now that spring
is here these long drives around
the lakes still have their fascina-
ton, and no matter how many
times repeated seem to produce
greater thrills. For all newcomers
we Minneapolitans suggest that to
really enjoy your stay you must
see a few of our ten thousand
lakes.

Worry over the effect Of factory
lay-offs and rising food prices on
the welfare department budget is
frankly expressed by Mayer Vincent
A. Scully. The department faces
a large deficit for the year unless
business conditions improve and
food prices begin to decrease.
Only q few days ago the state
welfare department reported that
this city's relief load and relief
costs have increased more than
those Of any city in the state since
the first of the year. Factories have
dropped hundreds Of employees, and
many Of these have been forced to
call on the welfare department for
help.
The promised welfare deficit will

have to be met as 1t was last year,
by reducing expenditures in other
departments and transferring the
sums thus saved to the welfare de-
partment. Even this early in the
year it appears that the total well
fare appropriation Of $457 $3.50 will
be insufficient.
Food costs have increased a great
deal, the mayor said today. The
food allowance in the welfare budget
is 100000. A considerably larger
sum will be needed because Of the
many more persons receiving aid
and the higher prices.

farm Expert Reviews Work Of State
LEGISLATURE in Recent 4.Week Session

OF the present state administration.
In practical operation, that's the
way OF real democracy. Elected
representatives, both in the legis-
lature and in congress, look to the
people who elect them for their
final answers. In critical con-
trovcrsy, such as that which ragged
at Sacramento. legislators, for the
most part. will do what they think
best for the welfare of the state
nd their districts. But if they make
conscientious fight against self
ish minorities, only to find their
districts indifferent or unrespon-
c!ve when they return home, they
are likely to follow the line of
least resistance when the struggle
reopens. That is human nature.
California has more at stake in
the current fight to clean up state
government and halt extortionate
tax demands than in any other
legislative battle since the Begin
ming of the depression. If unbridled
relief spending continues, every
ethPoSSi III Niiiloi LID ldICo Soll-
fiscation of his property. Employed
workers face loss of their jobs.
Farmers face demoralized markets
and eventual loss of their land
and the state faces financial
ruin.
The legislature has seen the
handwriting on the Wall-and has
called halt, temporarily. Whether
it is made permanent depends on
the people back home. During the
next few Weeks-betWeen now and
May l3-the people of California
must answer.
So that California farmers and
others who read this column may
know the facts and the serious
ness of the issue, this writer, in sue
ceeding articles, will discuss three
major aspects of the problem: /.
