State "War Measure" Up.


St. Paul, April 5.-The Minnesota
Senate will have before it for final
action at once, the big war measure
providing for a public safety commits.
sion.
This was indicated when the sub.
committee of the Senate finance COM
mittee finished redrafting some of the
sections of tho bill. The amendments
were submitted to the full committee.
The amendments make drastic
changes in the bill as originally sub
mitted by Senator George H. Sullivan
of Saltwater. The provision giving
the commission control over alien reg
istration and detention of undesirable
aliens is stricken out altogether on
the ground that the federal govern
ment will handle all such work.
Under the provisions of the original
bill, the commission is given an ap-
preparation of $1,00O,O00 with the
power to raise an additional 100000
by the certificate plan. Under the bill
as amended, the commission is given
$1,OO0,000. If more money is needed,
the senators who redrafted the bill
feel that the governor should call a
special session of the legislature.

tailed $25O,OOO in round numbers.

were more thar $350,00O, provided no
allowance is made for the item of in

viewpoint, are a sound business en-
terprise.
The foregoing figures and conditions
are shown by a report Of an examina-
ton Of the prison affairs submitted

aminer, to Governor Burnquist.
