The United States has created the greatest industrial system in the history of the world, but that system has concerned itself almost entirely with proSt. and has been blind or selfish insofar as the welfare of the mass cf tie people is concerned. That blindness and self.shne.ss has caused the impoverishment of the consuming public, and the consequent downfall of Industry. The unemployment of millions of people through the lark of a constructive economic and governmental policy has not only decreased the use of manufactured products but has decreased the consumption of farm products. The increased surplus of farm products thus created has contributed to the lowering of the market price of farm commodities to a point below the cost of production.

These conditions -make it Imperative for us to courageously enact and approve whatever remedial leg stitutional power to do so. Such income tax must be a definite replacement tax and serve to shift part of the burden of the tax now imposed upon real property. I am opposed to an income tax law which permits income taxes to be offset against forestation, and similar forest prob lems. The remedy against overem bill as a basis I have prepared a bill expressing my views, which with your permission I will submit to you for such consideration as you believe it merits. Unemployment should also be relieved through a law compelling shorter working hours per day.

I recommend the passage of an phasis of fish and game, or other pany being permitted a rale which will earn or tend to earn a substantial net percentage of profit upon its capital Investment. Through th manipulations of pyramided holding companies this capital structure has been gradually increased, without any real financial investment, except on the part ot credulous purchasers of stock, with a consequent increasing burden upon the consumer and users of the service furnished by public utility companies. The only protection and remedy for this condition is in stricter government regulation, and In some cases, government ownership. I recommend that you submit to the people of this slate a proposed amendment to our constitution that will permit the state of Minnesota to build and operate district power planta within the state and to sell electricity generated therein, to municipalities and to the public. In order to secure more industries and bring about the local manufacture of farm products and other raw materials produced in Minnesota, cheap power is necessary.

To secure this the people must own a transmission system connected and interconnected with the available source of electrical energy.

Similarly, in terms of hogs, to pay the 260 in 1919 the farmer had to sell only seven 250 pound hogs; in 1925 it required about 10 head, and at the present price of $3 per hundredweight the farmer must sell 33 hogs. The farmer selling butter-fat could pay this interest with 433 pounds in 1919; with 591 pounds in 1925; but at the price of 22 cents that has prevailed recently, it required 1,182 pounds or the total production of about six average cows." through the taking over of the sec, i tk Safe I A Powerful!
