HOUSE WOULD GUST
SAFETY COMMISSION

BY an overwhelming vote the
house Of representatives has shown
that it would put the public safety
commission out OF business. The
fate of the commission is now up to
the state senate.
BY vote Of 106 to 13, and with
out debate, the lower branch Of the
legislature passed the bill introduced
by Representative w. A., Pittenger
of Duluth, which called for the clos
ing up of the commissions affairs.
1t provides that all outstanding funds
in the commissions hands be turned
into the general revenue fund Of the
state.
The bill had been resting upon the
table for some days, after having
slept in a committee for two mon this.
Representative Leo J. Gleason Of
Minneapolis made the motion to
bring the bill to vote. He explained
there was no longer any need for the
commission continuing. y"
House members insist that they
appreciate the good work of the COM
mission, but feel that now, with the
war over, there Is no longer need Of
the safety boards continuance.
The Pittenger bill now goes to the
senate. Efforts will be made in that
branch to have vote taken before
the legislature adjourns.

BOY SCOUTS ASSIST IN
TRANSPLANTlNC TREES

Whether France and Belgium get
innesota's surplus OF pine seedlings
or not the potential trees must be
cording to State Forester Cox.
The nursery at Cloquet has mil
lion or so trapsplanted seedlings
three years old that will soon be too
old for shipping and planting else
where. The state forestry depart
ment hasn't sufficient funds to
transplant all of these seedlings in
the woods where they belong. That's
what costs money, according to For
ester Cox. He de Jared the growing
kof the seedlings costs hardly anything
but shipping and planting in the
woods costs considerably more than
the departm ment's fund will stand.
. France needs trees according to
correspondent &C received here. Min
nesota has them. Whether they will
be given away, sold or kept within
the state is as yet undetermined. At
use them until next spring.
In the meantime several thousand
Of tho seedlings are being shipped out
to Roy Scout troops throughout the
northwest for transplanting. BY
having the boys transplant the trees
the state is enabled to do small
portion Of its reforestation at small
cost. At the same time it becomes a
patriotic performance with the
Scouts who have made It a manifes-
tation in honor OF the late Theodore
Roosevelt.

OF injuries received when he was

and that his earning capacity has
been reduced to one-third of what he
was before he was hurt.
In his decision todady Judge Stan
ton rules that Martin fs entitled to
weekly payment Of $3.50. this
amount being two-thirds of the
wages lost by Martin by reason Of
his Injury. This compensation will
be paid for a period Of not more than
300 weeks from the time Of the in
jury, or until such time as 1t Is con-
clusively shown to the court that he

REACH COMPROMISE
IN ELECTION BILL
Now Plan to Combine Two Pri-
mary Measures That objec-
tions May be Quieted.

Legislators at st. Paul are making
an eleventh hour effort to bring
about a compromise on the bill to
reform the present election system.
with only one week OF the; legisla--
tive session left, leaders in both
houses of the Minnesota legislature
are bestiring themselves.
In order to satisfy advocates of
both the Warner-H ompe bill, passed
by the house in February, and the
Rockne bill, now pending in tho
senate, suggestions were made today
to combine the best features of the
two bills.
The Warner-Hompe bill provides
for convention, made up of duly
elected delegates, to nominate party
candidates for United States senator's
and state officers. The Rockne bill
provides merely for conventions to
recommend candidates for nomina-
tion at the regular primaries.
Country editors who objected at
first to the Warner-Hompe bill did
so on the ground that it made no
provision for county organizations.
1t is now proposed to SO amend the
Warner -Hompe bill that the county
conventions will make recommerda-
tions for county and legislative Of
ficers, while the state convention will
actually nominate candidates for
state office.
This proposal to combine the in
dorsement feature of the Rockne
bill as applied to county and legisla-
tive officers and the nomination fea-
ture Of the Warner-Hompe bill as
applied to state offices was broached
by Senator Arch Coleman Of Mime
apOlis

SHOULD PUT NAMES INSIDE
AND OUTSIDE ON PACKAGES

That packages sent by parcel post
should carry the name and address
OF the sender and that Of the ad-
dressee inside the package as well
as on the outside, is the recommen-
dation OF the postoffice department.
This action Is one Of the first re-
suits of the conference of postmas-
ters with the big business houses
held at Washington during the first
days Of April.
The precaution Of putting a card
bearing the address of the sender and
addre inside the package is in
tended to lessen the number Of par
cells which cannot be delivered and
finally are sold at auction. Fre-
Quently packages are damaged so
that names on the outsided cannot be

Copies OF the Beltrami Eagle, pub

lock while making improvements
and enlarging his store on Beltrami

ship, and of the building of town
at Buena Vista, where fifty years be-
fore a large trading post Of the Hud-
son Bay company had been operated.
