as ADDYs GEORGE, founder of

ing American citizens, the Junior Nu-
nictpality. If the plan spreads in the
way 1t has already started there will

not all the boys. for already in The first
Junior Municipality there are indica-
tons OF a lively struggle on the ques-
ton OF votes for girls.''
The Junior Municipality is no toy;
It is organized for serious work. Each
Junior official is to cooperate with the
corresponding adult officer in the en-
forcement OF all laws and ordinances,
particularly those affecting boys and
girls and their interests.
The new plan has already been
launched in Ithaca, N. z. where it has
been officially adopted by Mayor Rea-
mer and the city council Another Ju-
Nor Municipality has been established

Awakens Sense of Responsibility.
At the meeting OF the Ithaca COM
mon council. when the plan was adopt
ed, Mr. George illustrated concretely
how it would work out in practice. He
did so by taking up some of the mat
ters which had just come before the
meeting. Young vandals had over
turned and defaced some gravestones
In one Of the cemeteries The police
had been unable to find the culprits.
Mr. George pointed out that boys could
best be interested in the preservation
OF order by being given a sense of re-
sronsibiIity.
A question had arisen as to whether
the trains at a. certain railway cross
ing were unduly obstructing traffic.
No one knew. just how many trains
Nassed this point in a given time.
There was no inspector nor money to
pay for one The councilman from the
district was called upon, but he plead
ed that he was too busy. Mr.. George
suggested that there were scores of
boys in the district who had the time
and would be glad to make the count.
Such a matter could be turned over to

Special to The Pioneer.

Special to The Pioneer.
st. Paul, April 5.-Above are
some of the more important points
brought out in the grain investiga-
ton now on before committees Of the
Minnesota legislature.
The senate committee was appoint
ed at the instigation of Senator S.
D. Works after the house committee
had been at work for some time. 1t
has been charged that the unprece-
denied action of naming a second
committee was done at the request OF
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce which wanted to start back
fire on the house investigation, with
the additional purpose of ''going
after" the Farmers Equity Exchange
and George S. Lotus, who is leading
the farmers independent movement.
To refute these reports, Works
went on the stand before his own
committee and gave lengthy ex-
PLANTATION as to why he moved for the
second investigation. He admitted,
however, that he had conferred with
leading members and officials of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
at the Chamber of Commerce club in
Minneapolis the day before he pre-
sented his resolution in the senate.
Works was the father and chief
architect of the proposed machine
combination to control the senate,
the combination which LOTUS knock
ed into cooked hat by exposing the
names Of the men composing it..
Works says he has no love for LOT
tus.
Great Struggle With Big Business.
