lance chasers" will be removed from
the bar under the provisions of a bill
introduced in the Senate with two
other measures recommended by the
Minnesota Bar association.
The three bills will be sponsored

ate. Five other measures recommend
ed by the bar association were consid-
cred, but it was found they already
had been introduced.

practices by lawyers, provides for CEN

solicit business persistently, either
personally or by means of circulars, or
obtain settlement of personal injury
cases for inadequate amounts.

For Private Use, if Bill
Becomes Law.

St. Paul, Jan. 20. 49, Although the
budget law passed in 1915 requires the
governor to revise estimates of ap
preparations desired by state depart
ments and institutions, Governor Burn
quist will pass the task on to the leg
1slature.
A budget of requests, totaling $31,
100000 or s13,OOO,OOO more than al
allowed in 1915, will be sent to the law
makers without a single item having
been revised, legislators learned.
Accompanying the tabulated re-
quests, the governor will send spe
cial message. It is understood that
the executive will say that the law
did not give him "ample time" in
which to do any 'paring."

Applying Physics in a Street Cal

Applying Physics in a Street Car.
One of the fundamental theories you

Straphangers in the street cars lurch
forward when the car stops and back
ward when it starts. It's inconvenient,

You lurch because you're the oppo-

Simple and practical, isn't it?

Good Roads Sentiment Gains.

St. Paul. - That the sentiment for
good roads is spreading rapidly in
Minnesota is indicated, the State High
way commission says, by the fact that
81 of the states sc counties have
drawn all the state aid to which they
are entitled in 1916. This amounts to
$1,37O,000.
From so to 80 per cent of the cost
of a road is paid by the state and
from 10 to so per cent by the counties.
The percentage of counties drawing
all their state aid last year was the
largest Minnesota has ever known.

MERELY COMMENT
BYH. M. COCHRAN.

When an accident happens in any
of the big State street department
stores news about it always runs
along the same path. The Day Book
is the only Chicago newspaper to give
fair and deserved notice to the read
ing public.
For instance, Wednesday morning
a man was killed in Marshall Fields
store. The Journal carried a seven
line story about it on an inside page.
The American, News and Post didn't
print line that l could find. Neither
did the morning papers.
If anything was printed in any of
these papers it was buried so deep
that the average reader would never
see it. The Day Book printed the
whole story as given out by Manager
Yates Of the store and verified by
Day Book reporters. Day Book read
ers got what they paid cents to
get-all the news of the day, no
matter who, where or what it hit.
Readers Of the other papers were
cheated! We don't carry Marshall
Field ads-the other papers do.
Wednesday was a bloody day for
Chicago. One death at Fields; a
lady, who had been dead a week,
found in her home, and a man found
dead in a prairie Why have war
when they can kill perfectly good
Americans off that way?
