POLITICAL. NEWS LETTER
FROM THE STATE CAPITOL

Next week will see the Minnesota
Legislature in special session and al
ready quite a few of the members
are on the ground, ready for the
opening. The State fair which began
this week was the drawing card for
the early birds. You ask were they
in good spirits and ready for the fray,
whatever that may be? Well, not
so you could notice it. The majority
of them had serious look; sore some
might call it. But joking aside, the
latest call for the lawmakers to as
semble in session extraordinary is not
a popular one, and those who will
answer it do so reluctantly. Like
dose of the ITCH is the way one
Twin City paper sums up the feelings
of the lawmakers. In order to speed
up the work of the session and thus
permit of an early adjournment, Gov
ernor Burnquist in his call suggested
procession meeting of the various
house and senate committees for the
purpose of considering the required
legislation, but so far nothing has
been done along that line. With all
due respect to his excellency and the
motives which inspired the sugges-
tion, the idea has not caught with a
majority of the members, who while
not openly saying so, intimate that
it savors too much of the steam roll
Ter. The only get together so far has
been that, of the senate members Of
Hennepin county who in their wisdom
have decreed that no local bills shall
be considered. The house end of this
particular. district, however, is said
to be of different mind and is in
clined to tell those of the upper
house to go to. Though without
power to compel, Governor Burn
quist's one hope is that the two bod
les will confine their deliberations
and legislation to- the subjects named
in the call, but the chanses are
against such. Tonnage tax, state III
surance and royalty tax, not to men:
|@tions a score Of other things local in
their nature are being discussed be
hind this extra legislation are going
on the theory that it will be a free
ffor all. Many figure that. the ses-
sion will last at least thirty days.
It seems like asking q whole lot
to compel nearly 200 men, each en-.
gagged in. some line Of business and
at a time when that particular bust.
ness requires their individual and
closest attention, to come to st. Pau
and remain indefinite ely without any
reimbursement. This IS what con:
fronts the Minnesota legislature and
/ the irritating feature Of it all i
THAT there IS no way of getting i.

Rev. Ernest Sakrison of the Swed-
ish. Lutheran church Of Minneapolis
is enjoying rest on Maple Hill at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gust An
dsrson. He will hold services on
Maple Hill Sunday afternoon. .
Miss Edythe Robinson, former
teacher in the village school, and
sister, Miss Ruby, of Pine City, made
trip around Isle Royal on the AM
erica Sunday and on their return
trip stopped off at Grand Marais to
visit. old friends. Miss Robinson will
teach at Cohasset again this year. Z
Grand Marais was filled to over
flowing last Sunday night when tour
lists from Duluth, Superior and other
points came to enjoy a brief rest on
Labor Day. The two hotels had to
turn away many, and though the
people of Grand Marais generously
opened their doors, for many it was
a tight squeeze as the exodus from
the cities was rather unexpected.
The general manager of the Booth
Company of Chicago and L. E. Hag-
|sted, manager of the .Duluth branch,
drove down from Duluth last Wed
nesday and took the America that
evening for a trip around Isle Royal.
They made the trip to see what sim
provements in t. he service will be
necessary for next year. If theTpas-
senger traffic continues to increase
the America will soon be too small
for this rum. they say.
Those who attended the Princess
theater last Saturday evening had
the pleasure of hearing Miss Grouse
give very interesting talk on Japan,
its people and customs. She also
sang some Japanese songs, one of
which was the national air. Miss
Grouse is a very pleasing speaker and
like all good things, we only regret
that there was not more of it. We
hope that she will see fit to give us
another treat soon.
