The list was compiled by State Au-
ditor Preus and is in answer to the
many insistent enquiries by school
districts which have been badly handi-
capped as a result Of the veto. Many
regard the veto as inexcusable as the
distribution of state school money is
provided for by the constitution ana
is not only moral but legal obliga-
tion.
Anv Minnesotan having designs on
United Sttaes Senator Knute Mel
sons job might just as we'll put his
ambitions in storage. This is what
friends of the senior Senator bring
back from Washington. They say that
the old republican war horse is going
to run again and that means he will
be nominated and elected hands down.
IL looks pretty much as if the Douglas
county man was going to die in har-
ness and in the language OF his admir-
ers "good luck to him." May he live
one thousand years more" 1t was
thought that Senator Nelson woula
retire with this session, but he did not
so indicate when friends visited him
week at Washington. He was as
full of pep as ever and was right on
the job.
The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission has received about
800 letters from business concerns
throughout the state urging the COM
mission to consent to the petition OF
the railroads operating in Minnesota
of M cont
freight rates within the state. Only
a few protests have been filed thus
lar put lC is expected that considerable
opposition will develop at the public
hearing called by the commission. The
requests. for granting the petition OF
the railroads come from various sour
ces, such as milling companies, eleva-
tors, state and national banks, lumber
companies, jobbing houses, general
manufacturing concerns and CONNER
cial clubs. Among the latter may be
mentioned the Waseca, st. Peter, Her.
on Lake and st. Cloud Clubs. The
public hearing is set for June 18,
the State Capitol. Chairman Ira
Mills and Commissioner Charles E
Elmquist, have been in Washington
for a week participating in the pro-
ceedings before the Interstate Com
merce Commission relative to the de
mand of the railroads Of the Un.'<
States for a similar increase in inter-
state rates. The Associated Press
claims that H. B. Warren, Statician
with the Minnesota Commission, dur
ing the hearing last Friday testified
that the western railroads are earning
fair and increasing income ano
should have a surplus on hand.
This year the State Board of Con-
troll will invest better than S250,00000
in meat for the 10000 or more depen-
dents in it's charge. Of this amount,
about 100000 will go to pay for
fish, and the ludricrous feature Of it
all, is that the greater part of the
latter figure will go to the rich east
ern fish concerns. With 10000 or
lakes in the state fairly teeming with
finny tribe eastern purchases seem
