makers who enthusiastically praised
the Governors message as a whole
However strong effort will be made
to put the Governors program
through. ~ s $ss@ a e.
4 The House refused to suspend the
rules and pass the $4,000 appropria-
ton for Wolf Scalps. It is a fore
gone conclusion that the bill will be.
come law early in the week.
The big Three" in the House
membership are Theodore Christian
son of Lac Qu1 Parle, Charley Warner
OF Aitkin, and c. M. Bendixen of Red
wood. The former will undoubtedly
be chairman Of tho appropriations
Committee, and both the others viii
get important places. All of them are
old experienced members with pro-
gressive records and none of them
very enthusiastic friends of the Gov
ernor. The fate of progressive leeis-
lation In the House will depend large
ly upon the course taken by these
gentlemen.
The two most determined oppon-
ents of the program of the organized
farmers among the new members. as
developed so far are Reps. Adams of
Ottertail and Serline of Kanabec.
The Governor says in his message
that the Legislature should devise
laws, which, If possible, will secure
to the farmer the truth instead of
falsehood. That is long felt want
that the farmer-owned press is RAPIDLY
filling and no legislation is necessary.
The Senate will be the battle ground
during the session. The two ablest
re-actionary leaders Of the last ses-
sion, Sullivan and Duxbury lost out
at the election and there are none to
take their places. Magnus johnson.
for the farmers, and Mike Boylan the
plumber orator from the Range, ably
reinforced by others, will make it
mighty interesting in that body for
| the defenders of privilege.
The. farmers who belong to the
League and those who do not are
| fraternizing, and on many measures
| since their interests are identical will
be found voting together. Rep. Pitt
enger of Duluth who introduced the
bill to abolish the Safety Commission
if so disposed, can get that measure
up for consideration within two weeks
The Governors message is remark
able for what it omitted. No men
ton was made Of the reign of terror
and lawless violence; of the Tonnage
Tax; of rich tax shirkers; or of the
great profits of the Beef Trust, or Of
the Steel interests. Not a word IL
the message could be construed a.
being offensive to big business.
There is a general feeling that thu
Constitution should be amended tt
allow the issuing of bonds for tn
construction of highways, but tn,
League and Labor forces will insis
that the amendment shall contain
the words, and ''other business enter
prises." The tug of war will com,
over these words, as they mean Stat,
grain elevators, storage plants, pack
ing houses, pulp mills and even cleo
trio railways, if necessary.
Rep. Wicklund has the honor o
being the first League member recog
nized by Speaker Nolan. He was ap
pointed member of the Committee OF
Mileage the first day of the session.

Measuring the Height Of Clouds,


A scientist attached to one of the
bureaus at Washington has been en-
gagged in measuring the height of
clouds by photography. Simultane-
GUS pictures of cloud were made by
two cameras placed 600 feet apart and
connected by telegraph wires. From
the amount of displacement of the
cloud caused by viewing it alternately
from each end of the 6OO-foot base line
It's height could be calculated. Some
of the 'mackerel sky" clouds photo
graphed were seven and a quarter
miles high. The loftiest clouds whose
elevation was thus measured belor~
to the type known as cirrus, or n
cloud" the height Of which was a lit
tie more than seventeen miles.

SEEKS AMNESTY
FOR SOLDIERS
Senator Borah Says Some
Courts-Martial Sentences
Were Too Severe.

General amnesty for all men con-
victed during the war by courts mar
tial is to be asked of President Will
son by Senator Borah.
This is the second step in the Sen
ators campaign TO rid the United
States of all traces of the war.
Borah will cooperate with Senator
Chamberlain. of the Military Affairs
Committee, in hearings to show the
facts with respect to sentences meted
out to men of the draft army.
Allegations laid before Borah, Cham
berlain and other Senators are to the
effect:
That startling inequality existed
in the severity of sentences imposed
on different men for the same Of
lenses.
That undue severity was exercised
for minor infractions Of military dis
cipline
That courts martial have been COM
posed in some instances of men not
quallhed either by training or tenn
perament to sit as judges.
Senators have been told that the to-
tal OF sentences during the war run
well above 1000.
Senator Chamberlain is author of a
bill providing that members of courts
martial shall be specifically qualified
and calling on the judge advocate gen.
eral to revise the articles of war in
the interest of more even-handed JUS

BIG INTERESTS AFTER

Convicted Representative Says
Special Legislation" Cuts
Both Ways.

Milwaukee, Jan. 2.-Big interests
are endeavoring to prevent Socialist
Congressnan-elect Victor L Berger
from taking his seat in the National
House. Berger charged today.
Commenting on a bill introduced by
Representative Clark. Wisconsin,
which would unseat him. Berger said {:
1T Is obvious that the big interests
and especially the particular interests
which Mr.. Clark, of Florida, has so
ably represented in the National Con-
gress for many years, are anxious to
keep me out of Congress If possible.
The gentlemen in the House of
Representatives should keep in mind
ahat over half the white race is in
a chaotic class of revolution, out of
which must develop an orderly So
cialist reign within fve years"
He added that special legislation to
keep undesirable members" out of
Congress can work both ways and
might be used by socialists against
the "capitalistic" side.

Senator Wadsworth De-
scribes Attack of 9th
Division on Hinden-

The gallant achievements of the
New York boys in the lO5th lnfan-
try. the old Seventh Regiment, in
the battle which began September
80 against the Hindenburg line were
related to the Senate yesterday by
Senator Wadsworth. of New York,
in a speech giving his observations
sn a recent trip abroad. He char
scterized the work Of the Twenty
seventh, New York. and Thirtieth,
Tennessee and North and South
Carolina troops, as one of the great
est accomplishments of the war.
The Senator told how the 1O7th

manner in which replacements were

BUILDERS PLAN
HOMES
Take Steps to Relieve Con-
gested Condition; Seek
Aid of Unions.

With prospects for the early sta
bilization of labor and material prices,
Washington building contractors, 1t
was stated yesterday, are making
plans to build thousands of resi-
dences for the Districts congested
population.
With rents as high as they now
are in the District, and with thou
sands of government employees shar-
ing rooms with from three to six
other occupants. local contractors be-
lieve they will be safe in adopting
a broad building scheme, providing
some agreement can be made with
the various unions that furnish the
labor that wages will remain for a
definite period at their present level.
Builders Hold Conference.
sentatives of the local and some
twenty-four other building and loan
associations in Washington from all
sections of the country. the follow
ing statement on building conditions
was formulated:
I'm normal times, under normal
conditions it required the building
of about 100000 homes per year to
supply the normal growth of the
country. and replace the losses oc-
casioned by fire and other destruc-
tive. agencies. For the past two
years, owing to causes growing out
of the world war, this normal con-
struction of homes, has been prac-
tically suspended. What housing
construction has been accomplished,
has been for the major part, that
which was demanded to meet war
conditions. Shortage of labor and
restrictions on the use of building
material stopped the work.
AT this time there is a shortage
of homes in America of nearly a
million, to which must be added the
normal requirements of the year
just opening. Most of the present
shortage has not been wholly aban-
doned. but has been merely post
poned and delayed. and the pressure
to inaugurate and complete this de-
layed construction will shortly be
felt; as soon as weather and eli
matte conditions make such work
feasible.
The demobilization of the mill
tary and naval forces, now in prog
ress and the release of workmen
from the shipbuilding and munition
plants. and other war industries,
furnishes the supply of labor which
has hampered building for the past
two years. and the removal of re-
striCtions on the use of material and
transportation which SO largely con-
tributed to block home construction.

of home building now possible"
