FAVOR AIRPEANE FOR s.
PATROL OF FORESTS

St. Paul, Dec. 27.-Northern Mimi
esota busines men and settlers are
advocating establishment of airplane
patrols as protection against forest
fires, D. P. Tierney, assistant state
forester said on his return from an
inspection tour in the northern parts
of st. Louis, Lake and Cook counties.
Mr.. Tierney's trip was thru a dis
trict from which no reports of I. W.
w. and other radical activities have
been received, he said.
/ cuisines men in the northern part
of the state are maintaining that air
planes to. patrol the forest will be-
come a necessity" said the assistant
forester. ''They point out that as the
number of tourists increases the fire
danger becomes correspondingly
greater, and contend that airplanes
will prove a great educational factor
and also an effective means of insur-
ing quick relief when fires occur"
A definite plan toward securing
the aerial patrol service remains to be
worked out, Mr.. Tierney said, but
busines men and settlers alike are
interested and soon will begin NOV
ement to secure aid both from the
government and the state.

FILING OF OPINION
ON BONUS WAITED

Minneapolis, Dec. 27-An opinion
awaited today, following the state
supreme court decision last Satur-
day that the Minnesota veterans bo-
nus law is constitutional and valid.
Contrary to expectations the opin-
ion was not filed. The bonus board
was to meet to arrange definitely for
the first sale of $10,00O,000 Of bon
us certificates Of Indebtedness in the
event rulings were forthcoming to-
day on whether the certificates are
the direct obligation of the state and
other questions submitted in the test
case.
The appeal decided Saturday with
further announcement that an opin-
ion would be filed later, sustained the
order of Hennepin county district
over-ruling the states demurrer to
the complaint Of A. Gustafson, a Min
neapolis citizen and taxpayer. 1t
was ruled that Gustafson's complaint
did not state a cause of action and
the bonus law was upheld against the
various attacks directed against it.

Bismarck, N D., Dec. 27.-Approx-

enacted at the recent special session
of the North Dakota legislature today
was awaiting action to determine fin
ally the date upon which 1t is to be
