WILLIAMS STREET STILL DARK

While the city is bonding for a city
light and power plant 1t wouldn't be
out Of place to add a few hundred
dollars for street lights or Williams
street, one Of the most important
thoroughfares in the city. 1t would
seem that only the business men To-
Gated on what Is known as Main
street are the only ones entitled to
street lighting-but the trouble Is we
can't all get on Main street.

Knox Resolution.
FINAL VOTE THIS week
Two Similar Resolutions Dealing Sep
arateiy With Germany and Austria
Were Introduced in the House
BY Representative Porter.

Washington--Progre on the initial
administration peace policy-to end
the state of war by resolution OF Con.
gress-was made In both branches OF
Congress.
In the Senate the Knox peace reso.
luton. revised in minor detail, was re-
ported favorably by the foreign rela.
lions committee and announcement
was made by Senator Lodge of Mas.
sachusetts, Republican leader. that II
would be called up later
Resolutions In House.
Two similar resolutions dealing sep
arately with Germany and Austria,
were introduced In the House by Chair.
man Porter OF the foreign affairs com
mittee, who announced that they would
not be taken up until after the Senate
acts on the Knox measure.
An informal conference between
Senator Underwood OF Alabama. Demo
cratic leader. and minority members
OF the foreign relations committee.
with a few other prominent Democra-
tic senators. was planned to discuss a
course OF procedure.
Senator Underwood said he expected
Democratic action would be similar to
that with regard TO the first Knox reso-
luton. which was vetoed by former
President Wilson
Vote this Week Likely.
That Senate debate would consume
only few days. was predicted by Re.
publican and Democratic leaders A
final vote this week was regarded pos.
sible
The final draft OF the Knox resolu.
tion reported differed little from Sen
ator Knox's original measure. II
would repeal the resolutions declaring
a state of war with Germany and Aus.
tria. reserve all American rights and
privileges under the treaties OF Yer
sailles and Trianon and hold, subject
to future disposition. the property OF
enemy aliens.
Committees Votes 9 to 2.
The committee vote on reporting the
Knox resolution was to 2, all Repub
licans present favoring and the only
two Democrats present opposing II
Other Democratic committee members
were given the privilege Of recording
their opposition.
As distinguished from the Senate
measure. the Porter resolution would
declare the state OF war at an end. but
without repeal OF the war resolutions
Representative Porter explained ii was
unnecessary and perhaps unwise' tc
repeal the war resolutions because
such action might be construed az O
disavowal OF the war"

st Paul--The outstanding results OF
the Minnesota 1921 legislature are
summarized briefly above.
Among the two important measures
enacted into law are ore taxation and
the farmers program. These formed
the chief issues Of the last campaign.
Tonnage Tax.
After three months OF discussion. a
law was passed providing for "A 6 per
cent tax on the occupation OF mining.
The attorney general had ruled that
the original tonnage tax bills should
be so redrafted as To provide for an
occupation tax Considerable opposi.
ton to tax based on the occupational
theory. developed but IL was not suf-
hcient to stem the tide for some sort
OF a tax on the iron mining industry.
Enactment OF the occupation tax on
mining, the so.called tonnage tax sub
stitute. means that the issue has now
been transferred to the courts Of the
land. II is certain that the mining
companies will wage bitter legal bat.
Constitutional Tax Amendment.
The people OF Minnesota will have
an opportunity to pass on the theory
OF an occupation tax on mining Both
houses passed the bill tn submit con.
stiiutional amendment on the subject
to the voters al the next election

Legislation affecting the farmers OF
Minnesota took the lead from the very
start AS result an agricultural pro-
gram OF farreacbing importance was
enacted into law. the outstanding fea.
lures OF which are:
The cooperative law OF 1919 was or.
tended to permit the Federation of To-
cal cooperative associations into large
buying and selling units.
The Law Of 1919. establishing the
state Department Of Agriculture, has
been so amended as to give that de-
partment supervision over all dealers
in farm products outside OF hay, grain
