Veto.

The Hastings-Anoka coterie have decid-
ca On line of action, which it is hoped
VIII meet with the approval of Gov. Lind,
or. at least, will so far overcome his OBJ
Jections as to allow the Barker bill after
amendment to receive his signature.
The Barker bill, as it passed the senate
is practical duplicate of the Staples
nlll, which the governor vetoed, and 1t is
now on the table In the house.
1t Will be taken up early next week. as
soon as the omnibus appropriation bill is
disposed of and pounded into shape. One
OF the Hastings delegation stated last
evening that the bill would be amended
along the line Of the objections raised by
the governor in his veto message. The
plan for hospitals would be done away
with, as we'll as the proposed administra-
ton building at Anoka, and provision
made for asylums on the cottage plan
substituted.
he governor is reported as having in
timated that he would approve any bill
which would provide for an asylum at
ei'her Hastings or Anoka on the cottage
plan, but not for a measure which would
mean one at each city.

the amendment was an admission that
the present rate was too high. There
was now que in penalties alone over

bill would increase the revenue Of the
state rather than decrease 1t, as it
would encourage the1deIlnquents to pay

Farmers had told him they would rather

Senator Chiffon (Rep0, Wright. offered
an amendment to offer the reduction of
the interest only to actual occupants Of
the land, but it was beaten on a division,
20 to %.
Senator Young moved that the bill be
placed on the calendar, the friends Of
the measure having a majority Of those
present, but not majority Of the SEN
ate.
Senator Wilson offered an amendment
limiting the operation Of the reduction to
that period elapsing after twenty years
from the date Of sale. This would insure
the payment OF at least twenty years in
tereSt at the per cent rate. This too
was lost, 20 to q.
Senator Ives tDem), Ramsey, coming
in late. wanted to know the excuse offer
ed for attempting the reduction.
- AS A PARTY MEASURE.
Senator Greer CRep), Wabasha, said
one excuse he had heard was that 1t was
necessary to keep a lot Of votes in line for
the Republican party.
Senator Young withdrew his first mo-
ton and moved that 1t be made q special
order for Tuesday at 2:3O, following the
Dyer express gross earnings tax bill.

Senator Wilson and Senator Greer had

RED LAKE CoUNTY's WANTS.
Senator Ryder (Rep.). Polk, protested
against the passage of the bill providing
basis Of settlement between Folk and
Red Lake counties. He said the bill was
an effort to overthrow the law of the
state under which the counties were cut
apart and the appraisement of the board
which at that time adjusted the affairs
of the two.
Senator Somerville Rep.), Brown, said
that If Red Lake county had to bear its
share of the Indebtedness of Polk county
1t was only fair that it should share In
the assets of the old county.
Senator Ryder's motion to indefinitely
postpone the bill was lost, 10 TO 40, al

intention Of opposing the bill when it
came up on the calendar.

Speaker of the House of Representatives

treasurer. which is commended to the
consideration of your honorable body.
The condition of affairs to which he re-
fers, under which the state funds have
been deposited In violation of law, is
intolerable, and should not be permitted
to continue Neither is it just that any
discrimination should exist between the
city and country repositories. If. upon
due investigation, it is your Judgment
that it is not practicable for the state
treasurer to deposit the state funds at
per centum rate of interest, then 1
recommend that the statute in that re-
gard be amended so as to meet the ext

Due About Every Ten Years.
There have been three abnormally cold
periods at st. Paul since 1870 With the
view of determining them, Mr. Lyons in
charge of the United States weather bu-
reau station, in this city, first found that
the average temperature for the periods
from Nov. 1 to March 81, five months, Is
Fl degrees. This was deducted from daily
observations for the last twenty-eight
years, commencing with 1870.
The first very cold period was In 1915.
the mean temperature of which is II de-
grees; that of 1878, when the conditions
were just the thing for the last and most
successful ice palace and winter carnival,
for 1t was the real winter spell, and has
surpassed as such anything else on rec
ord, with an average temperature of 10
degrees; but the recent one running for
five months ending with last month, came
very close to it, inasmuch as its mean
is only 16 degrees.
How long more we will have to wait
for the next severely cold SPELL" Mr..
Lyons says, "it is not amiss to say no
one can tell, but one in an average of
nearly ten years, for such we have had,
is not so bad, and SO we may as well find
solace in concluding that what has been
of weather is likely to be again, and
what can't be cured must be endured "

The house, by a vote of 60 to e. killed
the Mcneil bill which sought to raise

The objections raised to the measure,

that it would prevent the children under

schools, from participating in the state
apportionment.
The Judiciary committee reported that

children, but not the distribution of the
apportionment.
