BLUE MILK" BILL MEETS
DEATH IN LOWER HOUSE
Sullivan Measure, Which Was At.
tackled by Many Civic Bodies, is
indefinitely Postponed-Milk
Label Bill 10 Advanced
Then Postponed. III

St. Paul, March 23.-Speakers before
4 house committee told SO remarkable
story OF extravagant expenditures Of
money by the st. Louis county iron
mining towns that the committee
unanimously recommended to pass a
bill limiting the expenditures of vii
lagos and small towns.
When someone suggests on the iron
range new way to spend money the
band plays Hail, the Conquering
Hero Comes" the speakers declared.
In more serious vein they touched
upon the moral effe.. of retaining bet
ter than half the voting population on
tie city payroll and of equipping
schools in manner so magnificent as
to be entirely out of keeping with the
home lives Of the girls and boys
Mine for Each Town.
The situation arises from the fact
that the range towns concerned have
within their respective village limits
at least on immensely valuable iron
mine each. According to figures pre-
sented In these mining towns the min
ing properties pay all the way from
81 to 80 per cent of the taxes. In the
words of one speaker, it has been lone
magnificent debauch with other peo-
pies money"
The bill under discussion was that
introduced by J. II. Harrison of Mime
apolis, a house member The hearing
was before the house committee on
cities, of which A. l.. Lennon Of Min
neapolis is chairman. The bill would
limit the current expenses of govern
ment in small villages and cities of the
smaller class to SIS per year per cap
ita, this not to include expenditures for
school purposes. The per capita would
be figured on the basis of the last
Federal census, except where the viii
lage or city in question desired that
a new census be taken and then it
would be done by the state tax com
mission.
The so-called Sullivan blue milk"
bill, which passed the senate by a
large vote sometime ago, met with an
overwhelming death when the house
in committee of the whole voted to in
definitely postpone the measure. 1t
would reduce the percentage of but
terfat in milk from 31s to per cent.
Senator Sullivan advanced his milk
label bill in the senate. The bill was
introduced after women's organiza-
lions aud civic bodies had attacked his
blue milk bill.
When Senator Sullivan heard that
his "bIre milk" bill had been defeated
in tks. house, he moved that the label
bill be indefinitely postponed. 1t was

GAMER TO ST LOUIS,
WINTER LEAGUE YARN

The Hot Stove league dopesters
have figured out another move for
Del Gamer, the hard-luck champion
who for several years drew pay from
Frank Nevin twice a month during
the pay season. The dope has it that
Gamer will be traded to St. Louis
for Sam Agnew, Rickey's star catch
err. Hickey would then send Leary
back Of the plate and put Del on first
base. Such trade would spoil per-
fectly good second baseman, for
Gamer was one of the late season
sensations, after Hoblitzel went to
first and the ex-Tiger took second
for the Red Sox. The dope at the
time was that Gamer had found him
self and would henceforth cavort

rigan's aggregation.
