another sign of spring alright
but parents should keep in mind
that they are responsible for pro-
perty damage caused by their
children.
In the tradition of the West,
most boys in this district have
az rifles to the disrnay Of the
gopher population, the telephone
and power company 1inesmen
and highway maintainers.
However we can't admire boys
who destroy insulators and in
.terrupt power and telephone SER
vice and so create human misery.
Or the young smart aleck, who
destroys the watch out for bump"
or stop signs on the highways.
Since young human hides can't
be tanned legally, the law holds
parents responsible. We hope IA
theirs who give their sons guns,
and don't tell them how to use
them, really get socked with stiff
fines. MIR

The unchanging Spring

With spring comes the pleasing
sound of wild geese winging north,
as the snow retreats up the sides
OF Teakettle and Columbia noun
tains until only the tops show real
white.
Each of us breathe deeper as we
step out-of-doors for the first
time mornings. Weather's fine.
But each spring youngsters in
the confusion Of growing up, and
their not-thinking parents Gre
ate unpleasantness.
Folks ought to have better
sense than to dump garbage al
ongside roads. There's a city gar
bage dump at the end of the street
that leaves town between the
two schools. The borrow pit near
the Red Bridge or the city park
roadside is no place to throw
trash.
Two "kid-started" grass fires
have already occurred in town,
and the last one came danger

be in causing a swing of young
voters back to the Democratic
column.
The Republican house economy
drive that would nearly knock
out the reclamation program and
crimp other facilities such as the
national park and forestry serv-
ices would save the taxpayer no
consequential amount
Here are figures from the Uni
ted States News, a respected, con-
sentative magazine: A married
man with two children having
a $1,000 net income would pay
Sc year less in federal taxes; the
same family with $4,000 net in
come would save $28, and a man
with a wife and two children
having a 100000 income would
save $12,460 under the Republican
plan approved by 273 to 1877
vote and forwarded to the SEN
ate
Fortunately the United States
senate appears to realize that with
ii billion (14,000 million dollars)
going to the Army and Navy, the
present trend of economy in gov
spending appears rather
weird. On one hand Hungry Horse
would be denied AZ million, and
on the other our new information
al role calls for 400 million dol
lars to Greece and Turkey
This Republican economy drive
is turning out to be something
like dude angler strayed into
a fish rearing pond He'd only
catch minnows, and Hungry
Horse and other reclamation pro-
iects are just appropriation min
nows under present conditions.
But it may cost the Republicans a
lot of votes. MIR

Fishing for Minnows

Headlines of the past week
Reclamation Group Fears Pro
ject Trimming and 'GOP Try
ing to Stop Reclamation, Says
OMahoney" apparently mirror
sentiments of the house commit
tee on appropriations.
Headlines of the next few weeks
are apt to say House Committee
Denies Funds to Reclamation Pro-
jects Including Hungry Horse"
The West as a whole is coming
to a swift conclusion that the
Republican dominated house does
not believe in increasing nation
al wealth by means of bringing
productivity to arid acres or in
vesting in dams that pay for them
selves through power sales and
water storage.
In fact it will be the United
States senate, also Republican
controlled, that is likely to give
Hungry Horse and other recla-
nation projects enough financial
support to keep them alive and
healthy. There is more sentiment
in the senate that good way to
help pay national debts is to
increase national wealth. Deserts
don't pay taxes.
Showed into control of the I'm
tied States senate and house last
fall, the Republicans had the pol
itical blessing of the American
people. Folks wanted a change,
cut in national spending, and
were tired of the endless alpha
bet combinations that spelled
more and more government sup
ervision. Mr.. Truma.a's popularity
by Gallup poll estimates was 80
per cent.
Now it is listed at so per cent,
and the Republican Congress

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. &.
Monday is election day in Mime
apolis and that is the day when all
people interested in good govern
ment will go to the polls in hope
that their candidates are winners.
The Gallup poll once announced
that most parents don't want their
children to enter politics, claiming
it is dishonest. / sincerely think
more people should get into public
enthusiastically veterans.
Since this paper has great cir
culation In the northern part Of
the city, perhaps the following will
be Of some help. I'm somewhat
tired land so are many others) Of
the many complaints concerning
our elected public servants-the
aldermen.

failed in his duty to the people.
Realizing that some Of my critics

piece Of legislation our present al
derman has given the people? .
Surely he has been in office long
enough flour terms) to do some
thing constructive don't
believe there is a man holding an
elected office that is indispensable.
The record speaks for itself
:. Especially his recent cab vote a
few weeks ago. Despite the des-
perate need for additional cabs and
thwarting the public's wish, he
voted against 26 additional cabs.
E. Have you forgotten already?
There are three candidates try.
ing to unseat the incumbent and
it doesn't matter to US whom you
cast your vote for. 1t SO hap
pens that all Of the contenders
are veterans, who have recently
returned from the service and who
have ambitions to make this a bet
ter city in which to live.
Max H. Nash, ex-service man,
spent much time and effort but was
unable to persuade the liberal
council to give veterans 25 addi-
tional cabs-to aid employment and
to better the taxi service in Min

made to the veterans while they
were over there1)

Gil. He's a member of United Steel
Workers Of America local 1923.
WYATT PIERRO, an energetic
young man-about-town, has been a
Red Cap at Milwaukee station in
the Mill City for quite a few years.
He's anxious to talk to some Of
the Red Caps at the Union Depot
in St. Paul-especially Ira Dorsey,
the busting head-man down there.
What has happened to the union
activity at the St. Paul Union
Depot?
Well, there we have a brief on
some Of our own lads in union
activity. Want to know how you
can help them out little? For
three cents you can be a lobby and
help out the guys on the home
labor front. Just drop a line to
your Congressman and tell him
crack down on all this anti-labor
legislation, especially the Hartley
Taft anti-labor bill. This bill is
designed to curb nation wide col
lective bargaining.
In very simple terms, by stop
ping nation wide collective bar
gaining, it means that if you are
a steel worker in Minneapolis and
belong to the national union, your
union will not be able to demand
simultaneously the same wage in
crease for you that other steel
workers get in Pittsburgh. But,
you will still have to pay the same
for eggs, butter and a car that
all workers pay.
The employer can bargain with
other national employers to keep
prices up, but your union can't.
It's a screwy deal, isn't it,?
