"SUNSET HOMES BILL
IS LIKELY NOT TO PASS
(Rv United Press J

St. Paul, Jan. 24.-The Sunset
Homes" bin in the Minnesota leg
islaturc will not pass this session,
members of both houses predicted.
While the idea OF "sunset homes
for the aged is popular the need for
strict economy forbids extensive eX-
pendtures beyond the most urgent
needs, some said. Senators agreed
with Senator Putnam, author of the
measure in the senate, that homes
for the aged as now constituted in
the state are not adequate nor Oper-
ated on basis that bids for the ut
most comfort and enjoyment Of the
inmates.
The bill. introduced by Senator
Putnam, provides that the state shall
pay only half OF the cost Of the
homes. The states share OF such sup
port would be raised by taxation.
Persons who desire to enter such
homes would have to pay $3.50 to en-
ter, or if they pay $50 year for
ten years before admission they may
enter. Applicants who are willing to
sign insurance over to the homes
would also be permitted to enter.
~ "Sunset homes" would be contrOll-
cd by county boards in conjunction
with the state board Of control

Wilson'S Note, Requesting T THAT
Allies Make Guarantees, Is
Important Topic =
GERMAN PREPARATION
PRESENTS BIG TASK
Allied: Council WhlsI:Al.o Be
Required to Decide Upon
:'-s Constantine's Right.
(By, United. PreSs)

Paris, Jan. "a. (By John D. CAN'T
The Russian situation is one of
the most important confronting the
allied supreme council when it meets
here today. President Wilson's note
requesting Of the allies that they give
guarantees that the Russians will not
be attacked put the situation in the
foreground. The allies must decide
whether or not they will follow
President Wilson's wishes.
Another big question confronting
the premiers was German reparatlon
An economist has held that the fix
ing Of definite German indemnity is
essential to sterilization Of the world
and that when such an indemnity is
definitely fixed an Industrial boom
will follow.
Still another serious question is
Bolshevism in the near east. The al
lies are confronted with one of the
deepest problems in the advancing
of Bolshevism into Turkey and the
Near East and in conjunction with
Austria. Austria is already pleading
bankruptcy and wants to go into the
hands of her receivers. 1t is feared
that If Austria is rendered collapse,
a wave Of Bolshevism will take hold
of her. Aid for Austria must come
up for reconsideration.
Constantine took the Greek throne,
frowned upon by the allies. There
have been rumors that the allies
would take steps to un-seat him. This
will also have to be one Of the ques-
tons settled at the present meeting.

PLANS UNDER way FOR
NEW BIRcHMONT HOTEL

= The Birchmont hotel must be
rebuilt. Every. person believes
that. We cannot afford to let
one season pas. without q hotel
At the head Of the, lake. If we
, do. ~ will lose in one year
what We have gained in the last
three in the way, Of advertising.
Our summer hotel and, tourist
businessss is indispensable, The
.business men of Bemidji have
stated that their business has
been greatly Increased by the
presence Of the hotel. Moth.
ing has aided more in putting Be.
midi. on. the map than the
Birchmont hotel. If a state
park is, established on the east
side Of the lake, Birchmont
will be more popular than ever.
The committee of the Civic
and Commerce sociation on the
rebuilding of Birchmont will
present plan for financing the
project this week or early next
week. i 1t was thought perhaps it
might have been possible to ar
range with some individual to
build the hotel and operate it.
Such u person has not yet been
secured. 1t may be deemed best
to have many interested in the
hotel Every one interested in
the project naturally will be a
booster for it and it may be much
better: TO have every citizen in
Bemidji interested than only one
or two. One thing is sure, the
citizens will be given an oppor-
tunity,. to assist. The details of
the plan will be given to the pub
lie through the press. Watch
for them.
