Country against city was the issue in a
spirited debate in the senate this morning
between Senator George P. Wilson of Min
neapolis and Senator X. u. Thompson of
Preston. Their slash came over an amend
ment offered by Mr. Wilson to the Thomp-
son bill increasing the state aid to high
schools from 81, 900 to $1,000 for each
school. Senator Wilson sought to have the
distribution placed upon a per capita basis
so that the cities would receive benefits
In proportion to the taxes paid.
Senator Wilson ridiculed the idea that
there was justice in placing the high school
! OF Bemidji with one teacher and nineteen
scholars or the high, school at Mantorville
with one teacher and twenty-fi five pupils
on an equality with the Central high
school Of Duluth with twenty teachers and
6ss pupils or any Of the high schools of
Minneapolis or ST.. Paul. The cities paid
a great share of the taxes but received. a,
minimum Of benefits. Senator Wilson adj
! mltted that he was 'up against it" but
felt 1t his duty to make the amendment.
j Inc country solons went after his
amendment with legislative bludgeons
Senator Thompson made fervid talk on
| the magnificent country high schools
which was 1.-The poor mans. college, the
farmers college" They were worth more
TO the state than the state university and
the normal schools combined, he declared.
and the statement was roundly applauded.
then he rallied against the contaminating
influences of the cities and scored the uni-
versity professor for not being more So
ncltous about the moral welfare of uni
Verslty students. He said that he was
| sorry the professors were not present to
| hear him talk =. =

III l had the power, I'd cut out foot

nght. had it In my mind several times
TO introduce a bill prohibiting football.
put knew that 1t would be very unpopu-
| lar. Again he was cheered.
/ Senator Schaller of Hastings called ar
tent1on to what the country contributed
70 the cities, such as appropriations for
! the capitol and the state university.
senator McGill followed in a similar
| strain. -.
Seeing that he was practically alone.
It..
although maintaining that the Thompson
Dill was unjust He received heartier ap-
plause than any of the speakers.
