Fooled Again? To the Editor: It Is now 20 years since the American people were deceived by entering the World war. As blindly as we followed Wilson then we are following Roosevelt today. Can it be possible that we are just as mistaken as we were at that time? It seems that as we then helped to make the world safe for dictators, so we are now making America safe for bolshevism and lawlessness. When the various radical forces that have no more use for a true Democrat than a Republican helped to elect our president, and Stalin congratulated him, we hoped they were mistaken. But now with the attack on our courts and giving aid and comfort to these forces almost as openly as our governor, we fear we are as mistaken as we were 20 years ago.
Hector, Minn. John Engberg. 3 IYV of the largest utility holding anies in America one which had not registered under the public utilities hold-1 company act. The time was two days after the supreme court's nation. His father-in-law, Joe Da-vies, U.
S. ambassador to Russia, has in in the government something that has not happened in the last seven years is a greater problem. It is how to keep from killing the goose that lays' the golden egg. For while "How about a local anaesthetic before you begin, Pop?" The Star's Daily Almanac April 20, 1937 GLARING illustration of legislative recklessness resulting from trying to do too much too fast, to make up for doing too little too slowly, was the measure passed Saturday by the state house of representatives. The measure, among other things, provided a flat increase of salary to $2,400 or 140 per cent for all members of the house and senate, and further provided an allowance of $6 per day per member for the services of private secretaries.
It was not until the measure had been passed that several members discovered that they had voted, unknowingly, to increase legislators' salaries. They either thought they were voting for something else, or thought by defeating another bill (for increasing the length of legislative session) they were defeating the salary increase bill. If that Is a good sample of the legislature's modus operandi in the last days of its session, we hate to think how many other mistakes have been made that won't be corrected in time. It is a sad state of affairs when members of the legislature, chosen representatives of the people, can be in such a state of confusion as not to know what they are voting for, and approving of all things a salary increase and allowance amounting to $384,120 a term. This at a time when the state Is straining itself the worst way to make ends meet as between income and expenditures.
The least that could be asked of legislators is that they remain conscious enough to know what they're casting their Ayes and Noes for. Purchasing: Power Must Match Production To the Editor: Mr. Lowen avers that the modern machine caused our depression. His remedy, curb the machine. Why restrict production while enormous human want exists? We could double and treble our present industrial output (with possible exception of food) and still not reach the consumptive saturation point.
There is one simple, imperative rule in economics which most people are unable or unwilling to learn: Purchasing power must equal production. If this rule is not complied with, It unbalances the whole economic structure. Remer, Minn. W. Free.
WEATHER CONDITION'S An extensive trough of low pressure reaches from northern Alberta southeastward over the northern Great Plains and thence southward to the Rio Grande. Strong fields of high pressure prevail over western United States and also from Hudson bay southward over the Great Lakes and the regions east of the Mississippi river. Scattered light rain and snow occurred in western Canada, and general showers throughout the Great Plains and the western districts of the Missisippi valley, Minot, N. and Oklahoma City recorded more than one inch of rainfall. Temperatures have fallen in the Great Lakes region, North Carolina, western Colorado, and New Mexico, while they have risen in practically all other regions, especially in Manitoba, the Great Plains, and Mississippi valley.
Light frosts were observed in western Colorado. The western disturbance will move eastward to the Mississippi valley and cause showers in the Twin Cities district during Tuesday night and Wednesday. No decided change in temperature is expected. R. HOVDE.

COMPARATIVE DATA FOR MINNEAPOLIS vited Millard and his new wife to go over as the guest of himself and Mrs. Marjorie Post Hut-ton Davies, the breakfast food heiress.
The Davies' have rented a swanky house in Mayfair, and the Hutton yacht, "Hussar," one of the most luxurious in the world, will be anchored in the Thames. For Millard, the coronation would be an excellent way out of his present supreme court dilemma. He was one of the first breastbeaters to come out against the president's plan. Reaction Is Terrific Since then he has had a terific reaction from his Maryland constituents. Those who make a ritual of the Maryland Hunt club races are for him.
Unfortunately they don't have many votes. On the other hand, organized labor has. So Millard may find it awfully convenient, to say nothing of enjoyable, to slip over for the coronation of King George. It would save a most embarrassing vote. Behind the scenes, some very brisk talk has been addressed to Federal Reserve chairman Mar-riner Eccles as a result of the sharp slump in government bonds.
There has been a lot of talk in Wall street about the mysterious reason for this slump, but there is no mystery about it. It was due primarily to the fact the reserve board ordered an increase of one-third in the cash reserves of member banks, effective May 1. As a result smaller banks, heavily loaded with government bonds, dumped them on the market in order to meet the board's requirements. The bond drop brought an immediate howl from the treasury. Morgenthau's howl was behind the action of the Federal Reserve board In convening its open market committee and going into the market to buy government bonds, thereby bolstering bond prices.
In other words, the Reserve board moved to cushion the severe monetary reaction which it, itself, had precipitated, Copyright 1937. The Albert Lea Strike To the Editor: Now that the strike is over at Albert, Lea, let's get the story straight. The riot started only after Sheriff Myre and his deputies destroyed the hall of the independent union. Along comes the A. F.
of which is busy gathering up the employe's association (company union), including scabs, stooges and deputies. Quite embarrassing, I'd say, for members who belong to both independent union and the A. F. of L. Anyway the A.

-1937- -1936-ilin. 16 18 IS 23 19 15 the Roosevelt Lawrence administration has at last begun to listen to the so-called conservative groups who believe that It is dangerous to spend more than you have, the mere slashing of expenditures, especially the relief items, affords no way out of the dilemma. There will be a howl, and there ought to be, when relief expenses are cut. It Is easy, enough for "well fed persons In their comfortable clubs" to talk about cutting relief expenses, but where are the people going to go. who are deprived of jobs? When the government stops feeding them and furnishing relief work, will they find Immediately jobs somewhere else? i Economy Wave to Bring Hardships v' The coming economy wave is going to produce Innumerable hardships, and oddly enough It will conceal the true nature of the mistakes that have been made in governmental policy for.
the last four years or more. Mr. Roosevelt's difficulties today are due to one thing: The receipts are not what they were estimated to be. It is like a business which has fixed its expenses and projected its anticipated revenue and then finds to its embarrassment that sales aren't what they were supposed to be. To the federal government, tax money is the same as sales.
Sales are down. receipts aren't coming in for the simple reason that businesses aren't as profitable as they must be if the government is to get a big enough share so as to be able to balance a budget. Business, Industry Furnish Golden Eggs And why are business profits not big enough to furnish the needed tax money? Because the administration, unwittingly perhaps, has gradually been killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. i Business and Industry furnish the golden eggs that bring in the tax money. When business doesn't make large profits, the government doesn't take in enough to meet its budgets.
Mr. Roosevelt will struggle with those who will Insist on keeping expenses up. He will point to the need for a balanced budget. The conservatives will cheer the president. The liberals will l'ook askance and the real blunders of the last four years of deficit financing will be obscured and concealed.

PAUL is now bitten by the parking meter bug.
A public hearing to get an expression of views on the contemplated installation of 1,000 meters In downtown St. Paul is to be held April 23, under city council auspices. If St. Paul considers thoroughly the evidence and past experience on the parking meter idea, it will doubtless reach the same conclusion that all but a few die-hards have arrived at in Minneapolis, where parking meter sentiment once was strong. Parking meters' have been outlawed by the Alabama state supreme court as an illegal form of taxation.
The theory behind the ruling is that streets are public property, whose maintenance and use are already paid for in city taxes. A municipality has no right to exact a second tax for occupancy of curb space along public thoroughfares. Kansas City has often been held up as a shining example of a city which has found parking meters a. convenience both for motorists and merchants. Yet In a recent issue of the Kansas City Star appeared a large group advertisem*nt by several stores with this caption: "No More Meters at 31st Troost.
Now! Free Parking at All Hours." At the top of the ad is the picture of a citizen giving a parking meter a hearty kick. This hardly indicates that Kansas City is overjoyed with' its parking meters, or considers them as anything but an unmitigated nuisance. Our advice to St. Paul is to go slow on parking meters. What appears to be a convenience at first glance might well turn into a galling, everyday nuisance and expense.

The "so-and-so's" to whom he referred were the venerable jurists whose language in these decisions left no doubt the holding company act would also be found within the constitution. Despite this magnate's anger with the nine old men, the real culprits seem to be innumerable old attorneys whose advice the big corporations followed so blindly at a cost of millions upon millions of dollars to business and the nation. Advised Act Was Invalid Take this holding company act of Aug. 26, 1935, which was to become effective Dec.
1, 1935. In a joint opinion to the Edison Electric institute, John D. Davis and Newton D. Baker advised the utilities the law was unconstitutional. As a result, companies supplying less than 20 per cent of the country's power registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These included such big net-works as the Middle West corporation and the New England Power association, and were later followed by the North American company, American Waterworks Electric company, and American Light Traction. But the big boys held off, especially the Morgan utility group for which Mr. Davis is attorney, and today, 16 months after the law became effective, the following companies are still conducting a sit-down strike against the government: Commonwealth Southern, United Gas Improvement company, United Light Power, Cities service, Electric Bond Share, Columbia Gas Electric, Stone Webster, Associated Gas Electric, and Consolidated Electric Gas. For these 16 months, these holding companies have been circ*mscribed in their activities and unable to perform their functions of financing ope- rating companies. Now the "cheap money" period is gone, rates on gilt-edged utility bonds have risen from VA per cent to over Vi per cent and are going still higher.
Needed refinancing will cost the utilities millions of dollars more than would have been the case had Davis and Baker advised their clients to obey the law of the land. Still more prohibitive Is the cost of legal advice in the matter of the national labor relations act. Here Davis was only one of the 58 big-time attorneys of the National Lawyers Committee of the American Liberty League who advised that the Wagner act was unconstitutional. The opinion of this high-priced legal counsel was handed down on Sept. 5, 1935.
Brought On The Sit Downs Acting on their advice, the big corporations treated labor roughly. The result was the present 24 35 34 39 40 36 43 39 35 31 30 43 33 26 26 35 35 39 36 45 46 0 20 0 21 0 22 23 .21 24 Big Hole in Twenty-seventh Avenue To the Editor: I think the new 30-mile speed limit recently effected is the best law in Minneapolis. However, that speed limit is not slow enough to keep motorists in their seats when they hit the hole left in the street on Twenty-seventh avenue between Twenty-second and Twenty-fourth street. If the city cannot afford to repair such places, at least a red lantern should be there for motorists' safety at night. Minneapolis.

Want Ad Week VTATIONAL WANT AD WEEK calls timely atten-" tlon to a potent, hard-working advertising me-dium which is on the job every day, helping John Public and his wife in a hundred-odd ways. The want ad section Is a democratic trading mart for citizens who want to buy, or sell, or give or secure service, or give or get a job. It reaches all classes, all types of homes. Many families consider a browse through the want ad section as informative and useful as the perusal of the news sections.
Want Ad week gives newspapers an excuse to beat the drum in behalf of a feature they know to be worth while. The Star hereby beats a modest drum, hoping that more Star readers will discover the value and serviceability of their own want ad department. Her Torch of Light To the Editor: A tribute to Gratia Countryman: She held a lighted torch for all to see, In city, state, and nation, to each coast; She held ideals aloft, as they should be, Ideas to serve humanity the most. She built a lighthouse on the lonely rocks Of ignorance, whose beacon sheds its ray, Far out upon the sea of doubt, and locks The mind against false prejudice each day. She gave her friendly aid to those who came, Wise counsel and advice she gave to all, An inspiration is her torch of flame, A summons to march on, like trumpet call, Up mountain peaks, upon which magic looks, To climb the Steeps of Learning, paved with books.

That is, when their landing fields are outside where the air is clear. They can see where the cities are from a long way off. Needless to say, the smoke doesn't do any good to people who live in it and breathe it and eat it and spend time and money getting it off their faces and out of their clothes and curtains and off their walls and woodwork. It is bad for their health, their efficiency and their pocketbooks. The smoke would be tolerable, for its incidental benefits, if it were inevitable.
But it isn't inevitable. H. B. Meller, head of the air pollution inquiry of the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh, where they know what smoke is, insists that there is no longer any excuse for polluting city air in this way. There are processed fuels and scientific fuel burners that can rid civilized communities of the smoke pest, without hampering industry or transportation.

How similar are the problems of big league managers and major country leaders! A striking analogy may be found for each powerful nation among major baseball clubs. For example, England and the St. Louis Cardinals: the one, with a population relatively small compared with that of Russia, Germany or the United States, consistently places its flag In first division due to control over India, Australia, Canada, and many lesser areas, and the other, operating in a city with a population relatively small compared with that of New York, Chicago, or Philadelphia, remains in first division due to control over Columbus, Rochester, Sacramento, and many smaller clubs. Similarly, an analogy may be drawn between the United States and the Yankees, France and the Tigers, Russia and the Cubs, Germany and the Browns, Italy and the Athletics, Japan and Brooklyn.

The fact is that human rights and property rights go hand in hand. The safety of human liberty depends largely on the American homes, and property is one of the elements of safety and happiness of the homes. Take away property right! and there would be a woeful slump in human rights, comfort and happiness. mines were found to contain a good many of them, the value of diamonds was fixed on a basis dependent on the square of their weight, from 1750 to 1870. With the discovery of large diamonds becoming comparatively common, the system no longer worked.
Small diamonds did not depreciate in the cutting as much as larger diamonds and were thus ordinarily worth more. Large diamonds are today worth only a fraction more per carat than small diamonds..
