Representative Volstead proposed
the increase in the total Of the dehcien-

The Volstead amendment was adopt

the House membership being on the
House floor at the time, but another

before the bill is passed.

Mr.. Volstead also defended Mr.. IRA

With these solemn words, President
Harding laid a wreath on the coffin
Of the first American soldier to die
on German soil, at funeral ceremony
for 5000 war dead at the army piers
in Hoboken.
His voice husky and his eyes brim-
med with tears, the President gazed
at the rows and rows of coffins. Then
he said: 90.

days have come and that there will be
no more war. would wish nation
so powerful that none would dare to
provoke its wrath ...
Then in the great army shed on the
shores OF the Hudson, with its stark,
whitewashed walls, there fell a silence
profound and deep. Mrs. Harding could
be seen weeping softly: as, she looked
upon the flag-draped coffins of those
who had given their all for their coun.
try. 80
Then the President continued:
1.-THE Republic will never forget the
sacrifices these men have made

homeland or the crimsoned soil of the
battlefield"

brief address, he stepped forward,

Minnesota farmers, who have lent an
attentive ear to stories to the effect that
the farm machinery plant at the Still
water prison is being operated at pro-
fit, might do we'll to secure a report on
that particular industry lately compiled
by Senator George H. Sullivan and 9TH
er members of the Senate committee on
public institutions. Instead of profit,
the committee finds that the prison
machinery department was operated at
loss of nearly 100000 last year. The
trouble it seems is that Minnesota
farmers are not giving this particular
branch of the prison industries, the pat
ronage they should. In 1913 of approx
imately 5000 binders manufactured at
the prison, only Its were purchased
by Minnesota farmers. The balance
were sold outside the state. As the COM
mittee sees it, the stories complained of
are being circulated for the purpose of
creating a prejudice against prison
manufactured farm machinery. During
1919 and 1920, the discrepancy was
pretty much the same.

Vance Chapman, the State Capitol
political correspondent, points out that
for personal purposes, the late legis.
lature expended $425, 900 against $685.
600 which was the figure for the session
two years ago, Members salaries and
their employees, the latter numbering
ITO in the house. alone, used" up consid-
cradle of the, total but it, in no way ex-
plains the unusual amount expended for
extra printing, extraordinary expenses
and gratuities. Gratuities as authorized
by resolution and which generally fea-
ture the closing days Of the session are
unquestionably an illegal expenditure
of the people s money and are SO recog-
nized to the extent that four-ifths
vote is necessary in order to put such
over. '~3 49, ~: ....r.: 81
In the past, gratuities have been
bitterly fought and as a result few got
by, but at the late session little interest
was shown and accordingly quite few
profted. Ordinarily conservative, the
senate was the chief offender this time
and it passed out gratuities almost
without, limit. Every employee received
from 25 to 40 per cent increase in pay
in order to bring them up to house max.
imum. Where the house in the goodness
Of its heart conferred gift Of $3.50
on each Of the telephone and telegraph
girls in the employ Of the Tri.State and
The Western Union Companies, the
senate added 5000 to each. House gifts
Of $25 each to the capitol char-women
were increased 800 by the senate
and like increases were made by the
same body in the case Of capitol jani-
tors, elevator operators, electricians
and other employees. The total was not
far from $4,000. ss4sss !
That the limit in this respect was
reached this time is unquestioned and
means that the real deserving will sui.
fer at the next session. Simply another
case Of the pendulum swinging.
