an air chamber with the bottom Of the
leather above it, and still another one
with the ground when the heel comes
down upon it, explains the Popular
Science Monthly. Each Of these two
chambers is connected with the out
side air by small opening. When the
heel strikes the ground, the air in the
chambers becomes slightly compressed,
causing the jolt Of the walking to be
very greatly cushioned In q manner
very much similar to that in which the
automobile tire cushions the jolts Of
riding. To prevent the air from be-
coming too suddenly compressed and

Primary Reform Bill Defeated

of proposed reforms in the method of
selecting nominees for state office

Having put the quietus on the pro-
posed changes in the primary election
system, the House passed the Glea-

First Efficiency BHl Fails.

st. Paul, March 29:7The first big
measure in the so-called efficiency
and economy" program to come be-
fore the Legislature at this session,
the one creating department of pub
lie domain, has been killed in the
Minnesota Senate by vote of 81 to
80. It takes "a votes to pass a bill
For four years., commissions have
been studying methods of reorganiz-
ing the state departments. The de-
feat of the most important of the
bills prepared by the interim commits
sion appointed at the last session of
the Legislature was keen disap-
po1ntment to those who have been
urging reform in civil administration.
Activity of state office holders,
whose departments would be affected
by the operation of the bill, is gen.
orally credited with the defeat of the
proposed act.
One of the arguments used against
the bill was that it left a loop hole
for the building up of a vast political
machine under the governor. Oppon-
ents limited that much of the oppo-
sition among the officeholders came
from the fact that the bill would cut
off some of the patronage now under
their control
The bill provided for the creation
of the public domain department to
take over the power and duties of the
drainage commission, the board of
timber commissioners, surveyors gen.
eral of logs and lumber, forestry
board, reclamation board, board Of
immigration, commissioners and sup
erintendents of all state parks, for
est reserves and state forests, high
way commission and those of the
state auditor relating to state lands,
park and mines. A series of separ-
ate bureaus, under the director of the
public domain, was created in the
bill.
Senator Duxbury, member of the
interim commission which drafted
the efficiency and economy bills, said
that the bill would make for efficiency
and economy because it would do
away with so many boards and would
centralize authority.
The defeat of the other measures
proposed by the efficiency and econ
omy commission was predicted last
night.
The farmer faction of the Legisla-
ture, went down to defeat on another
of their measures aimed at the grain
exchanges and milling interests.
The bill was intended to control the
installation of track scales instead 0f
hopper scales at terminal elevators,
and was the cause of several stormy
meetings in the Grain and Ware
house committee.
Another farmers bill, introduced by
Mr.. WEIGH, to give shippers a lien
on grain exchange memberships for
any indebtedness arising from the
purchase of grain, was passed.
