(Intended for Last Week.

St. PauEIn the first twenty seven
legislative days Of the Forty-second
session Of the Minnesota Legislature
there had been introduced in the
Senate 389 bills and resolutions of
record and in the House 507, total
of 1896. Casual conversation with
members of both houses indicates
that this total doesn't begin to meas
ure the capacity of the hopper and
that perhaps the final number will
be three times the figure here given.
Bills may be introduced, under the
Constitution of the state, during the
first 70 days, but ro bill may be
presented during the last 20 days
except on the written request of the
Governor.
Generally speaking, members of
the legislature are in their seats in
the chambers on the average not
more than four hours a day. That
sounds like a short work day, but it
fails to tell the tale Each member
of Senate and House is member of
from four to seven committees.
There are 20 standing committees in
the Senate, with membership rang
| ing from nine on the Committees on
Military Affairs, Civil Administration,
Soldiers Home, and StateDevelop-
ment and immigration, to Is ON the
Committee on Judiciary. In the
House there are 80 standing commit
tees with d membership of from five
on Enrolment and Engrossing, to 81
on Appropriations, and Markets and
Marketing.
! Practically every measure intro
duced and given a file number is re-
| ferred to one of these various com
mites, where it receives considera-
tion according to- it's merit, or ac-
cording to the interest shown in it
by its author and the citizens affect
ed by it's provisions. This means
that members Of the Legislature must
devote a. large portion of their time
to committee work and hearings, de-
pending on the Importance of their
committee assignments.
The constituent who comes to the
Capitol expecting to shave a little
visit with the legislators from his
district, and WHO doesn't give these
matters due consideration, might get
the wrong impression if he had diff.
ficulty in locating the servants of
the people" from his district. But
on making a little inquiry the legis.
lators might be found cooped up fo1
hours in one of the lit tie committee
rooms tucked away along the cor.
ridors of che Capitol. One legislato,
who was criticized along these lines

Legislative Correspondence

during the past week by a visitor
from his home county took the trou-
BILE to SIT down and figure out how
he had spent his time during the
past three weeks.
There We're Is legislative days in
those three weeks, from Monday to
Friday. inclusive, but he found that
his Saturdays and part of his Sun
days-yes, he goes to church Sunday
morning pretty fully occupied
with some phases of legislative du-
ties. Here are the figures he gave
his constituent:
Hours spent in his seat in the
chamber .......... ......... Al
In Committee sessions ......... 81
In preparing and debating meas
u1 CD 10
In Subcommittee sessions ... 9
In reading up on the statutes re-
lating to measures before COM
mittees (always night work
in his lodgings) .......... Is
In trips of personal investigation
on important bills ............ 8
In looking up matters on request
of his constituents ........... II
In caring for correspondence
with his constituents ........ 8
Total hours devoted to the
interests of the state and
of his constituents ..... 16O
The fault finding visitor from home
made due apology for his hasty crit
jicism when he realized that there
was something else in the day Of
the legislator besides a few: hours
in the Senate or House chamber lis
tening to routine proceedings.
Observers familiar with legislative
bodies and procedure express the
opinion that the Forty-second Legis-
lature is composed of men who are
apparently thoroughly impressed
with the Importance of this session
and are proceeding with their duties
with a determination to make it pro-
ductive of the greatest possible good
to the state and the people, The
huge amount of material already in
the hands of committees is indica-
tive of this feeling, particularly as
the major portion of it is construc-
tive in intent at least.
1t is. noted, however, that there
are considerable number of meas
ures that have been presented and
are being pushed in response to
more or less popular clamor resulting
from conditions apparently insep-
arabic from the disturbed economic
status of the reconstruction period.
The committee hearings on some Of
these measures will be most interest
ing.

Perhaps humanity will always be
too authenticated to learn that greed
unrestrained will produce economic
paralysis every time. A two-legged
hog who is out to get it all ought to
know that the all must give out
eventually.

FORMER COOK: COUNTY TRAP.
PER MEETS TRAGIC DEATH

= 4 :
=: A telegraph item in the Duluth
News Tribune tells the story Of the
death CT former Cook county trap
per who trapped with Vim. Trimble
and Tbs. Parent in the westerns
part of the county. In a shack on the
barren lands 200 miles north Of the
nearest Hudson's Bay trading post
A. o. Rinehart, formerly a home
steader in Lake county just across
the Cook county border, and a close
personal friend Of w. c.. Smith and
family, and later Duluth steel
worker, fought a solitary and tragic
battle against scurvy, thirst and
cold and died after he had become
too weak to crawl. to his water sup
ply and stove.
The story of Rhinehart's death was
related by S. P. McClenaghan, known
as "Curly, the Trapper." Rinehart
left letter for relative, Walter
Rinehart, of Shawano, Wis. He came
to the North country for the first
time late in 1919 and went into pros
pecting and trapping with the
Addison brothers, but left them af-
ter reaching the outposts of civil
ization
Trapper's Story
"Curly'' and another trapper who
reached here today brought news of
the grim happening. The trappers
found Rinehart's skeleton in October
last. A diary lying on the bed be-
side the bones told the story of the
lonely mans grim fight against the
dread disease. Rinehart left The Pas
in Northern Manitoba in the spring
of 1919 ON prospecting trip. He
was we'll equipped with food and out
fit. The trappers were struggling
through an early winter blizzard
when they came upon a small shack
on the shores of North Indian lake.
They smashed open the locked door
and found the body of the Inflated
American. In his diary Rinel1art
wrote that he had been attacked by
scurvy in November, 1919. On each
succeeding day of his illness he told
Of his failing strength, his loneliness
and the shadow of death that was
cast across the bed on which he lay.
Toward the Last, in short sentences,
he scribbled how he had become too
weak to leave his bed. The water
supply was beyond his reach.
Fire Goes Out.
The fire had gone out and the cab
in was as cold as ice. The last pitt
full entry was dated April Z, 1920
Constable P. Ross, Mile PA, Hudson's 5
Bay railway, left today by dog team
for the hut on the shore of North
Indian lake, and will bring back all
that is left of Rinehart together
with the mans belongings. The ex-
pected trip will take more than !
month.
This is the fifth tragic death re-
! corded in the north country, due to
the exceptionally hard winter Of
1920. A man named Egan committed
suicide after being badly frozen and
was eaten by his dogs. Another lost
control of his canoe and was
drowned; an Indian was eaten by
wolves in an attempt to protect his
, dogs from the beasts and a squaw
was also eaten by the wolves.

County Farm Bureau Column

Edited by the County Agent. s
The Minnesota Land Clearing Cam
paign is to include investigationa]
work in many localities throughout
the cut-over regions. Farms will be
visited by representatives of the
Land Clearing Division and tracts
of one or more acres will be chosen
for demonstration purposes.
Thes demonstrations will include
the stumping of plots which have
been in sod for a number Of years.
A. small area of such plots will be
Iisced only, and the remainder of
the plot will be plowed. These plots
will be seeded with grain and cul-
tivated crops. The purpose of this
work will be to determine the proper
crop to start with on virgin soil
and the kind Of seed bed to prepare.
Other plots will be- brushed and seed
ed to grass. Farmers will be asked
to cooperate with the Division in
carrying out the work. The Division
will direct and share in the work,
will assist in securing seed, and will
determine yields from small sections
but the farmer has the crop. Rec
ords will be kept by the farmer un-
der the direction and with the as
sistance of the Division.
The information to be gained from
this demonstration work will be of
value to the farmer and the COM
munity, and it. is hoped that it will
be possible to have several plots lo-
Gated in this county. F armers who
are interested in this project and
who have land of the character de-
scribed should see or write to the
county agent. He will be glad to
hear from them.

The "SOb Sister"

Alma Jordan was the star fem.
inine reporter on a great metro
politan daily. She was the ideal
of true womanliness, but unkind
circumstances had placed on her
the burden of standing by a
worthless brother. The boy was
nothing but a source of misery
to her. She was ashamed to let
him come to the Leader offices
where she was employed. She
had to forego the happiness that
was offered her as the wife of
the city editor because of her
promise to her mother to take
care of Billy.
Then to get a scoop for her
paper she unraveled the sordid
threads Of a sensational theatre
murder mystery, only to find
that her scamp brother was "the
other man" in the affair. Did
she print the story?

Jordan, the sob sister"
