y i cy ~ OLSON CITES ONLY ALTERNATIVES 10 ~ HIS LEVY PROGRAM If You Don’t Tax Wealth, You Must Have Sales or Prop- erty Levy, He Says St. Paul, Dec. 4—()—Gov. Floyd B. Olson declared Wednesday that refusal by the majority group in the Minnesota legislature would leave only a sales tax or higher levies on :.Teal estate as sources of the required revenue, E “If they don’t want my program, then all that is left for them is a sales tax or increased taxes on. real estate and I don’t want it on real estate any more than they do,” the governor de- clared. “But, I certainly want to tax those who can afford to pay.” Frowns on Sales Tax The governor declared he never would approve a sales tax on necessi- ties because it would place an added burden on those who need the fi- nancial aid which the social security laws would propose to give. The majority bloc’s old age pension plan, calling for, monthly payments of $30 and providing for federal, state and county contributions, was whip- ped into shape Wednesday for intro- duction in the house. Having as it does, the backing of the dominant faction in the lower branch, the prospects of its ultimate passage were brighter than the out- look for alternate bills drawn up by Representative H. H. Barker, Elbow Lake, Liberal, minority leader, and Representative Leonard Eriksson, Fergus Falls. Estimates Revenues Rep. R. G. Johnson, Forest Lake, chairman of the unofficial progressive committee in the house, which draft- ed the bill, estimatgd pension pay- ments under its provisions would cost about $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 a year inside of two years. Under its terms the staté would pay 42% per cent, the counties 7% per cent and the federal government 50 per cent. The state board of control would be the siate administrative agency. Everyone 65 years old or more would be eligible for a pension. How it is to be financed has not been de- termined.

Under present regulations, it was said, the FERA is prohibited from giving out such material to persons employed by the WPA, the assump- tion being that the “security wage” received by them is enough to meet their needs. In some cases, however, this has proved impossible, especially in fam- ilies where the income is low and where there are a large number of small children. Families with older children may obtain additiona! relief through the National Youth admin- istration. Meanwhile, county administrators report numerous requests to them by WPA workers for additional assist- ;ance, the claim being made that they cannot “get by” on WPA wages, the minimum for which is $44 a month. If the proposed transfer goes through, the state.welfare board will be able to give out surplus commodi- ties as it sees fit. WPA Furnishes Labor The set-up now is that the WPA furnishes the labor, consisting of ‘the state headquarters here and a director of surplus commodities in each coun-- jty. In some of the larger counties the director has an assistant. The decision as to who shall receive the goods, however, rests with the FERA and its activities are guided by the prevailing rules. Although the volume of surplus commodities received in the state has {been sharply reduced from the peak lreached a year ago, there still is a large quantity of goods on hand wita more to come, according to A. W. Quast, in charge of the work. Reports on Nov. 1 showed 768,000 Ibs. of canned beef on hand. Since then 996,000 additional pounds of canned beef have been received and North Dakota has been allotted 300,- {000 additional pounds. This supply !must last until June.1, when it is {assumed more may be received if the ineed still exists. i Expect More Materials Some of the foodstuffs listed as | being on hand Nov. 1 have been con- |sumed with no prospect of more being ‘sent in to take their place, Quast said, |but the outlook is for continued large supplies of, textile materials to help eke out the budgets of persons on | relief. In addition to the beef the Nov. 1 supply included the following items: {100 pounds of canned heart, 443 of jeanned. liver; 13,200 of canned veal and 16,600 of mutton. In addition there were 326 blankets, 6,800 pounds of butter, 6,600 pounds of rice, 400 Pounds of sugar, 71,500 cans of evap- orated milk, 60,300 pounds of dried milk, 5,400 yards of 45-inch sheeting, 1,024 yards of 63-inch sheeting, 126 | yards of 90-inch sheeting, 88,500 yards {of comforter covering, 52,000 yards | of huck toweling, 17,000 yards of bath toweling, 27,000 yards of ticking, 1,300 pounds of dried beef, 297 pounds of soap, 1,400 bottles of cod liver oll, 265 comforters, 1,769 mattresses, 3,500 pil- low cases, 20.600 huck towels, 6,000 | bath towels, 455 leather coats, 116,000 ;Pounds of prunes, 500 aprons, 79 skirts, 100 sweaters and blouses, 3,800 dresses, 349 hats and caps (men and women) 2,200 suits of underwear, 300 sleeping garments, 200 cloth coats, 800 slips for women, 700 shirts, 400 baby comforters, 186 rugs, 9,000 baby gar- ments, 341 pairs of shoes, 480 pairs of joveralls, 284 pairs of trousers, 839 pairs of mittens and gloves, 67,000 pounds of canned carrots, 5,300 cans of string beans, 25,700 cans of corn, 45,200 cans of beets, 16,200 cans of tomatoes, 26,000 cans of mixed veg- etables, 3,800 pounds of fresh cab- bage, 87,000 pounds of fresh carrots, 681,000 pounds of potatoes, 53.000 Pounds of rutabagas and 6,300 pounds of onions. Have Butter Also In addition, he said, the depart- pment has received 20,000 pounds of tub butter for processing into one- Pound packages and an additional 240,000 pounds «~ fresh cabbage now is due. Quast also expects an addi- tionta 1,000,000 yards of textiles within the next few weeks. With the exception of the leather jackets listed, Quast said, most of the wearing apparel listed has been made at the WPA rooms. He esti- |mated the quantity of this material now on hand at approximately the same total listed on Nov. 1. The vegetables, both fresh and canned, were obtained from relief gardens and the supply probably has been materi- ally reduced, he said.

One lesson of the past is that it is almost impossible.to elect or reelect @ president over a determined and wisely-directed opposition by organized business. From that the Democrats may take warning. Another is that the bringing together of powerful business organizations for political action usually results in extravagant czipaign spending, and is likely to culminate in a scandal benefitting the other side. The Republicans may learn from that. One way or the other, it is not im- probable that business opposition to the Roosevelt policies, and to Mr.| Roosevelt himself, will be one of the | dominating factors in 1936. Seniment Crystallizing 4-H CLUB INSTITUTE ox ccepmeensone rex» DELEGATES CHOSEN business distrust of Mr. Roosevelt, or in the prospect that many important business leaders will be against him next year. The interesting new thing about it, however, is that recently there has has been a drawing-together of this sentiment, and a tendency to express it in organized fashion. Wholesale refusal of the utility companies to register under the new holding company act coincides with @ number of significant develop- ments elsewhere. members of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, on whose board are represented all of the great financial interests of the coun- try, show an overwhelming majority against current “legislative trends.” The American Bankers association, in annual convention, gives a cold reception to “New Deal” speakers. The Liberty league, which manifestly has ample financial backing, extends its attack to include most of the president’s major proposals. These organizations all maintain they are not in politics, but their effect on politics is beyond dispute. Campaign Funds That the Republicans intend to make a thoroughgoing job of raising campaign funds is evident from the Personnel of the new finance com- mittee appointed by Chairman Fletcher. It is headed by leaders who represent concerns accustomed to dealing in millions. A year ago, the Republicans were having great difficulty raising money. Those who were asked for funds re- Plied in many cases by asking what assurance there was that the party would not go off at a tangent, and Permit itself to be dominated by the radical elements, particularly in the west, The general tenor of discussion at the “grass roots” conferences appears to have satisfied many eastern Re- publicans that the party would at least be more conservative than the Democrats. The danger of too much emphasis on financial backing is illustrated by the experience of Edward F. Hutton, chairman of General Foods. He urged business, in a magazine article, to “gang up” against administration Policies, but he found it advisable later to withdraw the expression and explain that he only meant “get to- gether.” Too Early: to Conclude It would be easy to draw: hasty con- clusions from all of this, with no facts to support them. For one thing, the degree to which all business, big and little, is against the president has not been estab- lished. The Democrats contend that they will have much business and banking support next year, particu- larly ‘from communities largely de- Pendent on agriculture. Another thing to be borne in mind is that the mere existence of import- ant financial backing for the Repu- licans does not prove that the election is to be “bought,” or that any illegal or immoral methods are to be indulged in. The legitimate expenses of a na- tional campaign are tremendous, and both parties spend plenty of money when they have it. All that can be done now is to note the facts as they exist, and wonder what may come out of them.
