when are these things to be accom-
plished? Certainly not at this short
the regular long session just preceding
the next Congressional election.
The Only Way.
Nothing but another financial earth
quake can compel action, unless the
President convenes Congress when an
election is remotely distant. and then
requests that our financial house be put
in order.
Again. all constructive and progress
sfye legislation should be enacted a
year before an election. in order that
the same may have a full and fair trial
before the people are called upon to
approve or condemn. Such a policy will
do more to insure steadineSS in our
commercial affairs than any other one
thing the Administration can do.
Again. / think that every thoughtful
man will admit that correction OF the
inequalities of the tarin schedules will
not down until disposed of. Therefore,
let it be done at once, but with the un-
derstandfng that no change shall take
changes shall be made in perfect har
mony with the protective principle,

OEARTH FAVORSPLAN
Former Insurance Commission
er Declares for Fire Marshal

Elmer H. Dearth, former state insur-
ance commissioner, declares that il
history repeats itself in Minnesota the
appointment of a state fire marshal
will materially decrease the number of
incendiary fires in the state. Mr..
Dearth tried hard to secure the enact
ment of the law creating fire marshal
during his term of office. but without
success.
Il presented the matter of law Gre
ating state fire marshal at several
successive sessions of the legislature"
said Mr.. Dearth yesterday, but without
success. l am glad indeed that the
legislature that has just adjourned has
seen the wisdom of creating the Office,
and l am sure that Gov. johnson will
make a fortunate selection in his ap-
pointment to fill the place.
The passage of the law in Massa-
chusetts had the effect the first year
after the marshal was appointed of re-
duclng the number of iDcendiary fires in
the state by 80 per cent. Without a
fire marsal ii is almost impossible to
secure convictions of persons for set
ting fire to their property to secure the
insurance. JurieS are prone to take
the position that the soulless corpora
ton is simply trying to avoid paying
an honest claim by setting up the claim
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
1t is serious thing for an insurance
company to fight the loss by saying
that the fire was started by the owner
of the property. for if they fail to make
good the defense they must stand
suit for damages.
The duties of fire marshal are not
unlike those of a coroner, and he may
make an inquiry and summon wit
nesses without first securing a warrant
for the arrest of the suspect. BY max
ing the investigation a quasi criminal
proceeding and by divesting it from
any connection with the insurance
company, even handed justice is more
likely to be dealt out than by the old
plan of having the insurance company
take the offensive
The insurance companies, by a tax
on their premiums, support the office,
and | am willing to predict that the
same record will be made in Minnesota
that is reported from some of the east
ern states, and that there will be
great reduction in the number of in
cendiary fires in this state"
Gov. Johnson was at St. Peter yes
terday and no announcement of an ap-
pointment to fill the office of fire mar
Shal was made.

BADGER LAWMAKERS
RUSHED WITH WORK
Legislation Piles Up Too Fast
for Half Breed Faction
i'm Control

The legislature of Wisconsin is not in
a position to see the end of the ses-
sion yet, according to Walter S. Den
ming of Madison, deputy treasurer of
the state, who was in st. Paul yester-
day. In that state they have no limit
on the session, and under the present
circumstances it is well it has not.
Legislation has dragged along slow
ly this winter, owing to conditions that
have grown out of the political fight"
said. AIR. Denning. The administra-
ton men, known as halfbreeds, have
been in command of the legislature.
The stalwarts have not had much to
do except to vote They were not al
lowed on committees.
The administration men had more
work than they could do. When a COM
mittee meeting was wanted 1t has been
hard to get them together on account
of the members being on so many diff
ferent committees. Legislation has had
TO wait until the halfbreed committees
could get around to it,"
The capitol commission has not been
very successful in it's work. according
to Mr.. Denning. There was some
question raised as to the authority OF
the commission.
The commission was first appointed
to provide more room for the supreme
court and the law library" said Mr..
Denning. Then came the fire, and
the commission concluded to have an
entirely new building. When the plans
had been drawn up it was discovered
that the commission made mistake
in thinking that they had the right to
erect a new building. Another wait
must be made for the legislature to fix
the matter at a future session"

COSTLY OVERSIGHT
Plan to Build State Sanitarium
Delayed by Error

With rare absence of mind the legisla-
ture of the state appropriated $50 000-to
build state sanitarium for consumptiVes
but appropriated not a cent for its main-
tenance.
The discovery was made yesterday by
members of the board of control The af-
fairs of the proposed sanitarium are left
jointly to the board OF control and an ad-
visory board of physicians. 1t is now pro-
posed that this advisory board enlist the
assistance of charitably inclined persons
the sanitarium until the next legislature
makes an appropriation for its mainten-
ance.
The intent of the act creating the sani-
tarium was to make the institution self
supporting, but half dozen patients who
may join the colony during the first few
months cannot be expected to pay the en-
stitution. :
1t is hoped that the physicians who COM
pose the ADVISORY board viii secure the CO.
operation Of wealthy patrons who will tide
over the sanitarium affairs until the
state makes provision for its care.
The first half of the $50. 900 appropria-
tion Is available August !. but to MAKE IL
possible to use the money Immediately
upon its becoming available it is planned
TO at once build roads to the states tract
or land near Walker upon which the sani-
tarlum Is to be erected. The tract consists
OF 122 acres of land bordering on Leech
lake. "A road two miles long will be
built from Walker to the site selected for
| the sanitarium, and another road a half
mile or more in length will be built to the
railroad where siding will be put in for
convenience in unloading supplies to enter
into the construction of the new buildings.
L. A Rosing, one of the members of the
board OF control, leaves today for Walker
armed with maps of the states lands and
plans for the roads, and will let contracts
for the roads. No plans for the buildings
have as yet been made 1t is expected to
have the plans in readiness for receiving
| contracts by August l. when the first $25,-
600 of the appropriation Is available The
remainder OF the $4,000 will be available
