Stassen Files for Govenor
\ ' *fW
Announces Objectives To
Build Minnesota—Filed
Monday Morning, April 18
Harold E. Stassen of South St.
Paul filed Monday morning, April
18th, for the Republican nomina
tion for governor. Stassen, who is
county attorney of Dakota County,
was the first candidate to announce
his intention to oppose Benson
when he spoke in a state-wide radio
broadcast at a dinner in his honor
sponsored by the people of his
home county at Hastings last No
vember. In filing he issued a ten
point statement of his objectives
for building Minnesota.
Stassen has forged to the front
as a candidate for the Republican
nomination during the past few
months with f orceful fighting
speeches which were broadcast
from overflowing meetings at Ro
chester, St. Paul and Duluth. Fol
lowing Governor Benson's Lincoln
Day address, Stassen challenged the
governor to a joint public debate on
the record of his administration to
clear up the half-truths and decep
tion of that address. The governor
evaded the challenge, but Stassen
has proceeded to carry the fight di
rectly to the ipeople in his radio
addresses.
He has branded the present ad
ministration as a strange mixture
of the three “R’s,” Reactionary,
(Radical and Racketeering. In com
menting on the governor’s “War
of the Weeds’’ with the WPA, he
urged that the first thing that
must toe done is to pull the weeds
out of the State Capitol, and de
clared, “The greedy tentacles of
the present political machine would
put the creeping jenny to shame.
Let us join in a crusade to plow
a straight furrow through the
weeds on Capitol Hill.” In his re
cent speech at Duluth, he exposed
the Farmer Labor Convention as a
“Puppet Show" and said that it
could just as well have been held
“in a room in a St. Paul hotel with
seven chairs and a table to ipound
on.”
In his speeches he has continual
ly emphasized the need of a sound,
constructive and progressive pro
gram for the state and has been
developing phases of this program
which are included in his statement
of objectives.
Dt. R. C. Radabaugh of Hast
ings, and M. J. O'Toole of South
St. Paul, Co-chairmen of the Stas
sen-for-Governor Volunteers Com
mittee of Dakota County announced
that they have received a splendid
response from all sections of the
state "as more and more people
are recognizing Stassen as the
candidate who can win in Novem
ber because of his campaigning
ability, colorful personality, and
sound judgment. Stassen has put
the bosses of the Farmer Labor
machine on the defensive for the
first time in years.” An active cam
paign is planned, leading to the
primary election on June 20th.
Speaking engagements for Mr.
Stassen in every county in the state
and a number of additional major
radio broadcasts are being ar
ranged.
Stassen is a tall young man, six
foot three in height. He was born
on a farm of Dakota County pio
neer parents of German, Scandi
navian and Czech descent. He
worked his way through the Uni
versity and is now serving his sec
ond term as County Attorney of
Dakota County. He was re-elected
to that office in 1934 by the larg
est vote ever received by any can
didate for national, state or local
office in Dakota County. He served
two years as president of the (Min
nesota County Attorneys Associa
tion, a position held by the late
Floyd B. Olson while county at
torney of Hennepin County. He
also served two years as president
of the Young Republicans League
of the state and recently received
the almost unanimous support of
that organization in the campaign
for the governorship. Since open
ing the campaign, he has received
strong support from the rural
newspapers of the state, many of
the editors hailing him as the ag
gressive, statesman-like leader
Minnesota has been seeking.
In filing, Stassen declared, “The
progress we have made in this
campaign is due in large measure
to the splendid volunteer support
of men and women in all sections
of the state whose' enthusiastic
work is gaining momentum not
withstanding our limited campaign
funds.”
STASSEN’S OBJECTIVES
A Statement of Objectives By
Harold E. Stassen, upon filing as
a Republican Candidate for
Governor
1. TAXES: Reduce State taxes
by spending less. Stop waste
and extravagance. Heavy taxes
are harmful to farmers, laborers
and business alike. No general
sales tax.
2. AGRICULTURE: Recognize
the individual farmer as the
backbone of the state. Help him
secure harvest labor. Cut down
his taxes. Develop a research
program to discover new indus
trial uses for Minnesota farm
products and thereby increase
farmers’ cash income; encourage
and support 4-H Club work, and
Farm Bureau objectives and
keep them out of politics.
3. LABOR: A labor relations
act drafted with the cooperation
of sound labor leaders and pro
gressive employers to protect
rights of labor and avoid prema
ture strikes, violence, lockouts
and caveman tactics in indus
trial disputes. The very success
ful laws in Sweden, Norway and
Denmark offer constructive mod
els for such an act.
4. INDUSTRY: Build Minne
sota and reduce unemployment
by encouraging business and by
making the State Capitol a clear
ing house for communities seek
ing new industries and capital
seeking factory locations. De
velop our tourist business thru
sound conservation and modern
publicity methods.
5. EDUCATION: Take politics
out of the Department of Edu
cation and the entire education
al system and suggest establish
ment of an educational advisory
committee consisting of the
presidents of all universities and
colleges in the state, the presi
dents of the Minnesota Educa
tional Association and State
School Board Association, and
by making appointments to the
State Board of Education and
to the State Teachers College
Board from a list of nominees
submitted by the advisory com
mittee.
6. YOUTH: Strive to secure
fair and just opportunities for
all youth. Provide assistance
and encouragement for talented
yound men and young women
without means to secure train
ing and education for their chos
en professions and vocations.
7. RETAIL BUSINESS: Strict
enforcement of fair trade laws
and recommend enactment of re
vised statute if present act is
held unconstitutional.
8. GOVERNMENT SERVICE:
A business-like administration of
state government; consolidation
of bureaus; elimination of waste;
a strong civil service system.
9. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE:
Adequate care for aged and for
those in need; concentration on
private jobs for unemployed;
elimination of chiseling and re
duction of overhead costs.
10. GENERAL: Continually
promote tolerance and under
standing between groups and op
pose) class hatred, fascism and
communism.

Observations
from Washington
By Congressman Harold Knutson
Propose More Priming
Four billion 512 million dollars is
a lot of money. As a matter of
fact, it is approximately $4.50 for
every minute since Christ. That is
the sum President Roosevelt wants
Congress to appropriate for his new
assault on the present depression.
Of this amount, three billion twelve
million dollars would be allocated
for relief and PWA pump-priming.
There is no discounting the fact
that the country is in a serious con
dition. We now have an all high jn
unemployment; carloadings are be
low the 1932 level and the steel in
dustry is only operating at about
30 per cent of capacity. No matter
how we may feel as to the cause of
this new depression it is here and
must be met and met without de
lay. However, I am very skeptical
of the President’s remedy. IWe al
ready have spent 18 thousand mil
lion dollars, which is 18 dollars for
every minute since the dawn of the
Christian era, in various recovery
projects since Mr. Roosevelt became
President five years ago and we
have very little to show for it in the
way of permanent improvements
that will benefit succeeding genera
tions who must pay the bill. What
I can’t see is how he can hope to
end this depression by spending
four billion five hundred million
dollars when he could not do so
with 18 billion dollar*. We cannot
spend curaelves into prosperity. We
have tried it but without success.
There is a general feeling that
whatever money is appropriated for
relief should be apportioned to the
states and the distribution made
under the supervision of local of
ficials. If we had followed such a
policy from the start relief would
SAUK CENTRE HERALD, Sauk Centre, Minn.
have been much more efficient and
far cheaper but it looks as though
the President is determined to fol
low the old path.
I was happy to lend my support
to a bill which, if properly admin
istered, will be of great help in re
habilitating the small business man
and industrialist, as it would enable
them to refinance on a scund and
long-time basis.
To many of us it looks as though
the present polices going to make
relief a permanent problem. In my
opinion it is all wrong. It operates
on the assumption that our people
would rather be on relief than work
and we all know that such is not a
fact. However, it will all be thresh
ed out in Congress within the next
week or two.
What we should do is to repeal
the reciprocal trade law, which is
robbing so many of their jobs, and
rewrite all trade agreements made
thereunder. Then, put up the bars
against foreign importations of
competitive products to a point
where the American producer will
at least have an equal chance with
the foreigner for the home market.
As I have repeatedly said in these
letters, if we would do that there
is no question but what we could
put some five to seven million peo
ple back to work within six months.
To me the biggest problem is un
employment. *
How many of my readers are
aware that imports of competitive
agricultural products in 1937 dis
placed 33 millicn acres of land?
Save the automobile, farm machin
ery, and office equipment industries,
there is hardly a business in the
land that is not being adversely af
fected and seriously so, by these
enormous imports made possible
under existing trade agreements.
For the first time in many years
the tariff has become the outstand
ing issue and all because those who
are out of work and want jobs,
those who are only working part
time, and those who have had to
take a heavy cut in wages, are go
ing to vote for a sound tariff sys
tem this fall.
Philippine Independence
Some four years ago Congress
passed a bill to grant the Filipinos
their independence in 1946. For
years the Islanders had cried to the
high heavens for independence but
it seems that they have changed
their mind for now they tell us that
they do not want to be set free but
wish to be given a dominion stat
us, such as Canada bears to Great
Britain.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that they want to hang on
to the American market for their
vegetable oils and other products
which come into competition with
our farmers. Then, too, they are
afraid that Japan will gobble them
up once they are set free. No doubt
they, and the American sugar in
terests in the Islands, will put on
a spectacular and expensive cam
paign to convince the American
people that we cannot afford to let
them go. If we rescind the action
that we took (four years ago we
should have our heads examined.
The Islands have been nothing but
a big bill of expense to us from the
time we took them over soon after
the Spanish-American war and
from now on they will constitute a
standing menace to our peace in the
Orient
Public Debt Huge
The debt of the Federal, State,
and local governments is approprox
imately $57,000,000,000 more than
enough io pay for all the 7,000,000
United States farms and their
buildings, livestock and machinery,
according to a recent survey.
We should not become discourag
ed in reading the above figures be
cause we have quite a lot of con
veniences to offset the debt. For
instance, we have 30,000,000 auto
mobiles, or 70 iper cent of the
world’s total. We also possess half
of the world’s telephones and more
radios than the rest of the world
combined.

Nine Mlles Southwest of City in Getty’s Grove
and the Tariff Commission, to pro
test against a further lowering of
tariff rates on livestock, meats and
small grains. Mr. Andresen and 1
represented Minnesota Mr. An
dresen made a very fine showing
for the dairy Industry and called
attention to the fact that dairying
has greatly increased in the cotton
belt the last two or three years and
that any appreciable increase in
agricultural importations will cause
a severe dislocation in domestic
prices.
It was brought out at the hear
ings that packers are putting in
packing plants, many new creamer
ies have been put into operation,
and a number of big milk condens
ing plants are now In operation
down in the cotton belt. They can
undersell us because they do not
have any winters to speak of and
have the advantage of water haul
with its much cheaper freight rates.
• In protesting against the propos
ed cut of 50 per cent in the present
tariff rate on rye I called atten
tion to the fact that our produc
tion last year was over 49 million
bushels, which is 17 million bushels
above our domestic needs. It was
fortunate for our rye growers that
the biggest rye exporting countries
in Europe had a severe drouth in
1937 which put them on an import
ing basis. Had it not been for that
I fear that the price of rye would
be much lower than it is today and
it is now much too low.
What is wrong with the sugges
tion that the American producer,
who pays the biggest part of our
taxes, and who must don the uni
form of our couuntry in time of
national peril, should have the first
chance at the American market? If
not he, who?
Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Should mail potatoes be used for
seed?
Small potatoes have given just as
good results as seed pieces of the
same size made from larger tub
ers, provided of course, that the
smallness is not due to a disease
factor. Small potatoes used for
seed should weigh from Ito 1H
ounces. —A. E. Hutchins, division
of horticulture.
Last fall my Beta grapes were
not pruned. Should I do it now, or
should I let them go unpruned un
til fall?
The pruning should not be neg
lected this spring; it can be done
in March when the vines are not
frozen. It should not be done too
late, however, because then the
vines will “bleed.” While the bleed
ing may not be noticeably harmful,
it is advisable to avoid it. —Ernest
Angelo, division of horticulture.
Can you tell me how to construct
efficient, economical feeders for
my chicks?
First, let me emphasize that
enough feeders are needed so that
all chicks can eat at one time. Suf
ficient feeders will promote rapid,
even growth and prove a check to
cannibalism. For the first 2 weeks,
use one 4-fOot feeder for each 100
chicks. Such a feeder can be made
from 4 ordinary latha A reel feeder
for chicks .from 2 weeks to 3
months of age, can be constructed
from material often available on
the farm. During this period at 4-
foot feeder will do for 50 to 75
chicks. Later a range feeder can
be used. Special Bulletin 163,
“Equipment for Chicks,” gives in
formation about feeders. It can be
obtained from a county agent, or
from the Bulletin Office, University
Farm, St Paul. —Cora Cooke, ex
tension poultry specialist.
When is the best time to seed the
lawn In Minnesota?
The best time for seeding a lawn
differs somewhat, depending on the
kind of grass used, and on soil and
climate. Probably the best time for
Minnesota is from the middle of
April to the middle of May while
next best is late summer, if the
lawn is seeded by early September.
A lawn can be seeded any time
during the summer, but to insure
germination greater care in water
ing is necessary during the hottest
weather. When bent grass is to be
grown from solons, planting some
what later than September 1, is as

successful and often more so than
spring planting.—L. E. Longley,
division of horticulture.
What size trees should I get for
planting in a windbreak?
Small trees are preferred because
they are more certain to grow
when planted. The development of
a good root system is more import
ant than a big top. Trees with long
tops and insufficient root systems
will die from starvation because
the tops demand more food and
water than the reduced root sys
tem can supply. For this reason,
evergreens about 4 years of age,
not over 10 to 14 inches high, are
desirable, if they have well-develop
ed root systems. Trees of this size
are also easier and less expensive
to ship, cheaper to plant, and much
easier to handle. Hardwood trees 2
years old are large enough to give
satisfactory results. For some
species, rooted cuttings are desir
able.—Parker O. Anderson, exten
sion forester.
Can tomatoes and peppers be
raised on peat successfully?
It is not desidable to raise such
long-season or warm-season crops
as peppers and tomatoes on peat
soil in this region. Peat is a late
soil, and while plants grow well on
it, they will be late maturing.
These crops usually do best on up
land soila Peat is best suited to
crops like potatoes, carrots, beets,
lettuce, celery spinach, radishes
and cabbage.—A. E. Hutchins, div
ision of horticulture.

about entering the sow testing pro
ject?
Ycu may contact your county ag
ricultural agent or the undersigned
in regard to sow testing. In this
project, blanks are provided to
keep birth records of litters.
Weights are taken at 56 and 180
days. Differences in weights of lit
ters at 56 days indicate the differ
ences in the ability of sows to pro
duce profitable litters. Now, when
spring litters are being farrowed, is
the Icgical time for farmers to en
ter this project. Through it farmers
can spot the pigs that make the
cheapest gains and reach market
able weights at an early age.—H.
