PROFIT AT RURAL EXPENSE
Judge Cray Criticizes Legislative
Methods Before Third District
Club Women.

st. er.-Addressing the delegates
20 the fifth annual convention of the
Third district Federation of Women's
clubs, Judge Lorin Cray of Mankato
criticized the state legislature for the
extravaganza expenditure of public
funds. He said:
1--WE have been building up an ed
acational and financial oligarchy in
our large cities at the expense of the
rural districts. We have permitted
the legislature to bestow appropria-
lions lavishly. Two years ago the
state fair and the state university
made up budget and presented it to
the legislature. This budget was for
100000, or more than enough mon
ey to build every school, every church,
every business house, every residence
and every building of every descrip-
ton in the city of st. Peter. No
doubt the buildings at the state agri-
cultural college were needed, but
they should have been scattered about
through the agricultural districts
rather than being centralized in one
place"
Judge Cray advocated better rural
schools and better roads and the
adoption of better farming methods as
means of preventing young people
from drifting away from the farm.
Mrs. w. c. Clark of this city was
reelected district president for the
fourth time today.
