TO THE HERALD
15AUK CENTRE HERALD, Sauk Centre, Minn.
Edited his Week By Victor A.
Johnston
Another special session of the
legislature appears to be almost a
certainty and Farmer Labor
spokesmen are already apparently
paving the way for the calling of
this session when Governor Benson
returns from his month’s vacation
in Southern California.
Opinion is mixed as to just how
this session will affect the political
fortunes of the state administra
tion. The primary, and probably
the only purpose of calling this ses
sion is to meet the demands of re
lief clients which have shown a
jump of nearly five thousand in
November and December of 1937
over the same months of 1936. Fig
ures compiled by the State Relief
Administration of direct relief ex
penditures during the final six
months of 1937 exceeded those for
the same periol in 1936 by more
than SBOO,OOO.
The total case load for Decem
ber 1937 was 41,000 as compared to
35,009 in December, 1936. Inasmuch
as the peak of the preceding fis
cal year was reached in February
1937, when 43,886 cases were in di
rect relief, officials foresee a pos
sible peak otf at least 50,000 in Feb
ruary this year.
Now state relief of this nature is
confined almost exclusively to ur
ban communities with three-fourths
of the total amount going to Hen
nepin, Ramsey and St. Louis Count
ies. Rural districts and rural legis
lators have not in the past felt any
too kindly toward increasing relief
costs. This was witnessed in the last
special session where the fight on
the relief bill was almost entirely a
city-country fight, with party lines
being broken. The anticipated
special session of the legislature,
when and if it does meet, is likely
to be a very spirited one.
Indications that increased relief
programs will be pushed were seen
this week in a statement attributed
to George Blake of Detroit Lakes.
State Vice President of the Work
ers’ Alliance, relief client organ
ization. When Blake was asked
where the money could be obtained
to meet his demands, he retorted,
"We don’t care about that.”
The "fair and proper” standard
for relief clients, according to Mr.
Blake. Is as follows:
Allowance of $52.50 a month for
groceries for a family of six with
an additional allowance for milk
and cream.
A modern house at $30.00 a
month.
A total of SIOB.OO for winter fuel
with provisions tor repairs and pur
chase of equipment when required.
Provisions for replacement of
household equipment
Funds for keeping up time pay
ments on furniture or other house
hold necessities where families
have entered into such contracts.
Clothing budgets of $60.00 a year
for adults and $36.00 for children,
W.P.A. clothing not to count on this
budget
Carfare, uniion dues and school
sunolies should be paid out of a
$30.00 monthly allowance for each
adult and $2.00 for each child under
sixteen.
All medical and dental attention
necessary, with the relief client to
have his choice of doctor and den
tist
Adequate burial grants.
Increase in number in the staffs
of relief offices so that clients will
not have to wait long for inter
views.
All welfare! board meetings to b e
public.
No deduction from monthly al
lowance because of incidental earn
ings of clients.
Refusal by a relief client to do
such work as shoveling snow or
labor on streets and highways
should not Impair the client’s right
to aid.
Blake appeared before the Polk
County Board at Crookston with
these demands and when he was in
formed that many Polk county
farmers live on much smaller bud
gets, Blake replied that that was no
concern of his. Mr. Blake was ac
companied to the meeting by 25
Workers’ Alliance members and a
CIO organizer.
Peterson-Benson Fued Flares Again
The Hjalmer Peterson - Elmer
Benson feud flared out with new
violence this week when the Farm
er Labor state committee passed
a resolution censuring Peterson and
charging him with "Cooperating
with our enemies.*’
The committee declared Peterson
as seeking personal vindication at
the expense of the Farmer Labor
movement and that he "lacks both
canstructiveness and a decent re
gard for his group responsibilities.’’
Peterson has already announced
that he will take to the air on Jan
uary 17th over a state-wide radio
book-up and it is expected that he
will answer the Farmer Labor com
mittee at that time as well as renew
the many charges he has already
made against Governor Benson and
the State administration. Peterson
is also expected to announce his
candidacv for Governor at that
time and political observers are
free in asserting that a bitter fight
between Peterson and Benson fac
tions will be on in real earnest fol
lowing Peterson’s speech on the
17th.

HOUSE SHELVES
LUDLOW AMENT?
ON WAR BALLOT
Monday the house shelved the
proposed war referendum amend
ment to the Constitution when it
voted against floor consideration of
the proposal. The vote was 209 to
188. A letter from President Roose
velt condemned the amendment,
which would have had to have an
approval of three-fourths of the
States, and which provided for ap
proval by national election of the
people before the United States
could declare war. President Roose
velt stated that it would cripple
any president in his conduct of our
foreign relations, and that it would
also encourage other nations to be
lieve they could violate American
rights with impunity.
ANNUAL SEED SHOW
The St Cloud Chamber of Com
merce and the Tri-County Crop Im
provement Association will again
cooperate in putting on the annual
seed show at St Cloud from Jan
uary 26 to 29. Each year now for a
number of years these two agencies
have cooperated to put on a splen
did show and program and with an
abundanc of crops in 1937, the show
this year should be one of the best
ever held. Farmers throughout the
county are urged by the agent’s of
fice, St Cloud to prepare now to get
their entries planned and also to
get their exhibits in the best pos
sible shape. In a short time a list
of the classification and premiums
can be secured from the Chamber
of Commerce or from the county
agent’s office showing just what
classes will be open for competition.
With so much new data on improv
ed varieties of grain and the in
creased interest in hybrid corn,
this year’s show promises to be out
standing in every way.
STATE ROADSIDES
MADE ATTRACTIVE .
AS TOURIST LURE
Based on the fact that tourists
annually bring eighty to ninety mil
lion dollars into Minnesota and that
inviting highways with accomoda
tions for better enjoying the state’s
natural beauty will aid in drawing
out-of-staters, the Minnesota High
way department’s roadside develop
ment division is conducting a long
time beautification program with
the co-operation of the National
Youth administration.
At the same time, Harold Olson,
director of the roadside develop
ment division, points out that the
cost of the program is largely off
set by prevention of erosion and
grade disentigration generally. He
said also that beautification has an
additional value in that it provides
safer highways through rolled
shoulders and better vision.
The National Youth administra
tion in Minnesota has 1,500 young
men doing part time work. In co
operation with the State Highway
department these employees fur
nish labor and materials, in the
form of shop-made equipment for
roadside development, while the
highway department supplies plans,
supervision, landscape architects,
trucks and material in advancing
the program.
The first project jointly under
taken by the two agencies was the
Historic Boom Site at Stillwater,
which was completed Nov. 15, 1937.
Here a mile long strip of state
owned lands bordering the bluffs of
the St. Croix river two miles above
the town of Stillwater was develop
ed. Two parking areas, a spring, 36
picnic tables, and two rustic foot
bridges were constructed and hun
dreds of trees and shrubs were
planted. Roadside cuts were also
changed to blend into the natural
contours of the land.
The work will continue in 1938,
according to- Mr. Olson, and his
division will strive to make the
highways of Minnesota so attrac
tive, safe and convenient that they
offer an additional lure to those
who wish to vacation in the Land of
10,000 Lakes.

ASKS CHECK ON LOCATION
OF 80 MILE SPEED SIGNS
Orders went out from N. W. Els
berg, state highway commissioner,
this week to district maintenance
engineers to check the present lo
cations off 30 mile speed limit signs
in villages, towns and cities in their
district with the thought in mind
of a more logical location of some
signs.
Commissioner Elsberg said that
a tendency to place 30 mile Speed
limit signs too far out off the dense
ly populated districts off municipal
ities may cause motorists to disre
gard them and to continue a coun
try pace through villages and
towns. He asked his engineers to
have these signs relocated closer in
when they were too far out of the
town proper.
“It is vital to safety that speed be
cut through municipalities,” Mr.
Elsberg said. “Since the installa
tion of 30 mile an hour speed limit
signs exceptional results have
been obtained. However, it is the
desire of the department to have
drivers become even more speed
conscious and therefor the signs
should be located where they will
best impress the motorist to cut his
speed to the limit stated or less.
Unfortunately our Highway patrol
is not large enough to enable us to
assume full responsibility for en
forcing the 30 mile an hour speed
through towns and villages as
strictly as we would like, and we
are therefore dependent upon as
sistance of local peace officers.’’
AGENCY REPORTS 69 ROAD
DEATHS DURING NOV.
Throughout Minnesota in Novem
ber there were 949 traffic accidents,
the first monthly report of the
State Highway department’s traffic
accident recording bureau revealed.
The report was based on individ
ual reports of accidents sent to
the accident recording bureau by
motorists involved in mishaps
where personal injury or damage
exceeding SSO occurred, said W. F.
Rosenwald, traffic engineer of the
Minnesota highway department.
Off the 949 reported accidents, 69
resulted in death and 477 in non-tfa
tal injuries. Property damage in ex
cess of SSO was done to 585 cars
during the month. Fatal accidents
were most prevalent in the age
group from 25 to 64 years, in which
category 37 persons died and 210
suffered injuries.
Off persons over 65 years off age,
15 were killed, according to the
chart, and of this number eight
were fatally injured while afoot on
streets and highways. In the class
from 25 to 64 years off age death to
pedestrians was also great with 13
out of 37 being killed.
“The high rate of pedestrians fa
tally injured in traffic in the older
age brackets indicated that all aged
persons must take no chances on
the streets and highways as a lack
of agility cuts their margin of
safety,” Mr. Rosenwald said. He
pointed out that from the ages of
15 to 24 only one pedestrian was
killed, further evidence for his con
tention.
There were four deaths and 44 in
juries to children under the age off
14, the figures disclosed.
Collision with trains and electric
trollies accounted for three deaths,
17 injuries and 22 cases off property
damage, the report stated.
