EXECUTIVE CRITICIZED FOR AL
LEGGED PLAN TO SEND IN
BUDGET WITHOUT MAKING
REvISiONS THERETO.
STATE FINANCE PROBE
g DECISION OF S0L0NS
Resolution for immediate Inquiry In
financial Affairs of All Depart
ments Passes House Unani-
nousIy, Though Meeting
Committee Opposition.

st. Paul, Jan. 20.-Storm clouds are
gathering in the legislature following
the announcement that Governor
Burnqrist planned to send in the state
budget without having made revisions
as required by law.
Legislators who helped pass the bud
get law in 1915, while withholding
definite criticism until the governor
forthcoming message is read, are new
ertheless planning to unburden them
selves of some strong opinions on the
matter.
Leaders said that the first important
step in the reform of the states fiscal
system and the method of appropriat
ing money would be nullified unless
the revisions were made.
Governor Burnquist may make some
eleventh-hour changes in his plans to
turn the whole task over to the legis-
lature, it is intimated now.
1t is pointed out that the desire of
the legislature was expressly stated
In the budget law, which requires the
governor to revise the estimates. 1t
is known that the governor had his
on the subject prepared some
time ago. That he may make some
last-minute changes is now considered
possible, however.
To Probe State Finances.
An immediate investigation of finan-
cial affairs of the various state depart
ments was decided upon when the
Minnesota House of representatives,
without dissenting vote, adopted
Representative Anton Peterson's reso-
luton for an inquiry by the House
committee on public accounts and ex-
penditures.
The resolution provides for the ap-
pointment of two expert accountants
and a stenographer to aid the commit
tee in its wo.k.

LEGISLATURE MAY VOTE
TO REPEAL PRIMARY ACT
First Step to Reform Election Laws
Taken-Opinion Unanimous On
Necessity for Change.

st. Paul, Jan. 19.-As the first step
in reforming Minresota's elettio laws
legislators are determined either to
repeal or amend the so-called presiden-
tial preference primary act.
Indications are that a majority OF
the lawmakers are willing to cipe the
statute off the books.
The amendments of the primary
election laws providing for a return
to modified convention system and
placing the legislature and county Of
fees back Oh a partisan basis are the
subjects of many informal confer
ences.
While there is unanimity of opin-
ion on the necessity for changing the
presidential preference primary, there
is an evident fear on the part Of some
senators and representatives to COM
nit themselves on the changes in the
regular primary. %r

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: uKeep the kidneys in
good orderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise SO you sweat = the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid -
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
NATION. as backache, scalding water
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DIR. Pierce OF Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
