Minnesota business methods and strict economy may be able to reduce the cost of government so that a sales tax will not be so urgently necessary. That is the situationcontinue Benson as governor and there will be no escape from a sales tax in the very near future.

But these plays are not booked Tuesday, September 6, 1938 Benson approved that by signing the bill increasing the sales tax from three to four cents a gallon. That is a sales tax that a great many people pay and it has the approval of Gov.

Benson despite all his arguments against a sales tax. In excuse it can be said for him that it is very hard sometimes to make a man's acts fit with his promises. Remember how he was a strong advocate of civil service, and then how the machine furnished him a club to kill it, and right lustily did he use it. To get back to a sales tax it has saved the solvency of several states, and the people of these states are so favorable to it that they hold on to it, as the easy way to help pay state expenses. As an independent paper we believe that Elmer Benson and Harold Stassen are both wrong on this proposition.

Stassen has so far kept his remarks free from personalities. The nearest he came to it was the mere mention that he challenged Gov. Benson for a joint debate on February 17, and that it has not been accepted.

Gov. Benson on the other hand gets very abusive of his opponents. Former Governor Burnquist, now candidate for attorney general, was not so considerate as is Stassen. He told the Republican state convention that Gov. Benson was quoted as saying in a speech at West St.

Paul: "The reactionaries of the Republican party have a candidate on their ticket who during the World war called the Germans 'Huns', and the Swedes and Norwegians un-American and un-patriotic citizens." That said Burnquist is a damnable lie. If we could keep slander out of campaigns, it would show our good sense. doesn't make any cuiierence, really. The company is equiped to play in the open, if necessary. But to understand and appreciate the vast detail of this movement you should glimpse Mrs.

Major at work on the lawns of her hilltop home at Chappaqua. Spread out fanwise are the six companies, rehearsing. And Mrs. Major moves from company to company, directing, giving counsel, helping. When the first of these is ready, and that should be in several days now, the company will depart in a specially designed truck.

Each company has its own car and truck, carrying full equipment, costumes, scenery. And five weeks to the hour from the day it rolls out of Chappaqua the second company will pile aboard its own truck and start out, too. That's the way it goes. They have never been late with a performance. Mrs.

She was what passes for a wife and mother, and at the same time she was a kind of living essay whose pages were the davs as they turned, whose life The scheme of giving every person In California fifty or over $30 each and every Thursday, did not originate with the Democrats who defeated Senator McAdoo. It has been agitated for many months, and it is now a proposed constitutional amendment on which the people will vote in November.

It will probably be adopted. It will be taken to the high courts for test, and as it authorizes the state to issue this script money, may be declared unconstitutional, as the federal government alone has authority to issue money. This plan was tried and it was quite successful in St. Cloud at the start of the depression. In fact it saved the taxpayers direct some $15,000 in relief taxes.

It was abandoned because it grew into something of a nuisance, and was a real sales tax on those who worked for salaries, and had nothing to sell but their service. The California proposition is identical with that used in St. Cloud and perhaps we are responsible for the present California experiment. This is how it works: Those receiving the $30 script on Thursday are required to put on a two cent stamp furnished by the state for every dollar on that day. They can then spent it if any one will take it.

If taken to a store the merchant has to add his two cent script stamp, and when there are attached 52 stamps the state having received $1.04 for each dollar of script keep the 4 cents for expense, and hands the final holder after 52 weeks a dollar in real money. That was done in St. Cloud, and the blood was printer's Ink.

When Joel died the family moved West to live with Margaret, who had married a fool.

Faith left behind her a boy she loved this seems to us the weak spot of the book, for it is difficult to imagine a sincerely attracted and intelligent boy and a girl in the same situation who would permit such a thing to happen. Intelligence was the long suit of both. In the West, Faith married, and it was on her likable though not perfect husband and upon her children, that she exercised her determination to produce the good life through mental exercise. Constantly (though with the best intentions!) she demanded more than The novel is Faith's story. It is a lot more, too.

If all speakers had remembered the Golden Rule and that of fair play and good will, the results would have been much more beneficial than they are. There was too much vomiting of hatred and extolling one class and abusing the other, to improve conditions that need improving, and that would have been a general benefit to all workers and to the country. The infliction of demagogues is poison to peace, happiness and honesty. son, a farmer, knows that "the big apple" is more than a dance His "big apple" is just that; he strew it in his orchard and it is reviewed, two important facts stand out. One is that, almost paradoxically, while the nation was in the throes of a great depression, it made its greatest progress in improving its public plant and increasing its real wealth in the form of new new municipal buildings, new bridges, streets, libraries, hospitals, subways, tunnels, harbor and terminal facilities and the like.

As a method of battling the depression and diverting its destructive forces, we launched what probably has been the greatest single program of public improvement in our history. The result is that because of a depression our educational facilities have been amplified many times, the national system of highways has been extended and improved, disease-ridden slums have been torn out and good housing put in their place and in general our physical municipal plants have been refurbished and rebuilt. All this certainly meant the conversion of an ill wind into one form of general good. The second fact of importance is that we have learned to gauge and direct the multiple economic forces which come into play in a public works program, so that in the future we can guide a public works program in the direction in which it will do the most good.

The entire amount issued by the city commission were never presented for redemption.

It was cumbernous in a small city like St. Cloud, but consider the tumult in a great state like California! There is this difference: In St. Cloud the script was issued for labor performed for the city, and the citizens generally thought it a matter of honor to see the earners got 98 cents, at least, for every dollar of labor. In California it is an outright gift. The people who receive it have to perform no duty to get it-only to have lived 50 years.

There can be but one result ultimately it will be so top heavy with credit, that it will fall of its own weight. There will be so many of these script dollars that are of no value outside the state, that merchants, for instance, having so large amounts, if they swapped goods for all offered, and it would take year to get them redeemed, that they would have little real money to pay for their goods, or when they needed money In their business. It would be passed on to many people not 50 and they would be in a frenzy to spend it.

Tomorrow Senator Byrd will present another side of the question.) By HAROLD L. ICKES Secretary of the Interior and Public Works Administrator Washington The 1938 PWA program is rolling along at unprecedented speed. The PWA is allotting an average of about $25,000,000 daily for enduring, worthwhile public improvements, which means extensive stimulation for business and industry. Thus far, we have approved something more than 5,000 projects with a total construction value of $1,250,000,000. Although the 1938 program is only two months old, we have been impressed with the widespread popularity of what PWA has to offer the country as evidenced by the concerted rush to obtain PWA projects.

I authorized taking applications for new projects late in May and the first were received about June 1. The 1938 act was signed by President Roosevelt June 21 and applications then began to flow at constantly accelerated speed.
