aid for its schools. The community
must levy school tax of at least 40
mills and it can obtain from the state
only such amounts as will, added to
its own tax levy, bring its school
funds to total of 500 per pupil in
its schools.
Top for St. Louis County.
The biggest thing which st. Louis
county got out of the legislature was
the road refundment law. This bill
caused many day of toll and many
sleepless night. 1t was the most
difficult and most delicate of all the,
road problems. For a long time it
seemed almost certain that st. Louis
county would never be allowed to-
spend the $7,5OO.O00 that it voted
in road bonds for paving work on
July 1, 1919. The bill could not be
brought into either house until the
last week of the Aession. 1t precipi-
tated a hard fight in each house but
t passed both bodies by an almost
| unanimous vote. Under its prov
isions st. Louis county will be able
to proceed at once with the paving of
the Miller Trunk and other state
roads which make up its 267 miles of
the states 1000 mile trunk system.
Itasca county funds to the amount of
/ $2,0O0,000 are also released by this
bill and road construction in Itasca
this summer will proceed apace.
The new county eight-tenths of a
mill school tax is deplored in Duluth
and some other places, but it will
prove of vast benefit to the county as
a whole. 1t will take some of the
pressure off from such districts as
Alborn which is now paying a school
tax of 112 mills and it will be a very
real blessing to the big unorganized
| district that covers most of the rural
schools of the county.
The splendid work which has been
done by the ST. Louis County Club
will go forward with renewed vigor
under the provisions of the bill which
permits per capita appropriation
of ten cents to the club by the county
The state wide county agent act also
makes provision for liberal assist
ance to the work of developing the
agricultural resources of the county.
Another new law of prime import
ance to all the Northern Minnesota
counties is the Bessette land clearing
act permitting counties to bond and

members voted solidly against every
move of the hackers of the per capita
bill and eveN vote wars close. The
fight began at 900 in the morning
and lasted until after five at night.

bill from their standpoint. 1t, was
furious firing for some three hours
but when the bill finally passed the
house the per capita for villages and
cities had been raised from $50 to
500 and for school districts from
$40 to $50 with privilege in addition
to make additional levies for all build
ings now under construction.
Other Close Contests.
Other close contests during the
closing days of the session was the
fight over the street car bill and the
board of control scrap. The street
car bill was saved once during the
mix-up by the narrow margin of two
votes and at the end it had but three
votes to spare. The board of con-
troll bill had no more In all these

to pare nine million dollars off of
demands for forty-three millions.
The money committees steadfastly
and consistently refused appropria-
tions for new buildings, purchases of
land or new undertakings of any
kind. They cut requests to the bone
and compelled every department to
exercise its wits to the utmost in
order to carry on the business of the
state. Parks and monuments got a
serious setback at this session of
the legislature. House and senate
members who brought home any
bacon were few and far between.
The total appropriations were two
million dollars greater than those of
two years ago, but the state tax rate
will be lower next year than for some
time.
Minor State Wide Measures.
Several laws that are of state wide
interest, though not of such major
|
trading and primary law amendment,
were enacted during the closing days
of the session. The new mineral leas-
ing law was one of these. No leases
on ore lands of the state have been
made since 1907. There are some
95 state leases in existence and these
leases brought to the state last year
n direct taxes, 100000 in gross
earnings taxes 100000, and in roy
alties 81 100000 total of almost
two million dollars. Present leases
all bring the state a fiat royalty OF
% cents per ton, but the new law
provides a sliding scale ranging from
IL cents for % per cent ore to over
so cents for 60 per cent ore. New
leases will probably bring the state
twice as much royalty per ton on the
average as the present leases.
Another bill of considerable i'm
portance which is now a law was the
publishers legal, rate bill. This law
increases the legal rate about 20 pei
! cent. This is the first increase in
legal rates that the newspapers Of
Minnesota have obtained in 81 years,

real Boss. 1t was a genuine overall
legislature. 1t passed eight hour laws
but it didn't observe them. Counting
eight hours as a legislative day, the
forty-second legislature was in ses-
sion about ten months. Time, let US
hope, will prove it to have been fruit
full of good works, but those of us
who were in it know that it was full
to the brim and running over with
hard work.
Spending Your Money.
Most people think that it would be
fun to spend million, but try spend
ing thirty-four of them and maybe
! you will think with Ted Christensen
that it is no snap. Ted is fat and
ought to be jolly but he has pulled a
long face ever since Jan. A, last. For
four months Ted has been fighting
folks who wanted money. Forty
three millions they wanted all togeth-
er but thirty-four millions was all
they got. Ted kept the other nine
millions in the pockets of the people
but it worried him to do it and he is
pretty much convinced right now that
the whole country is money mad and
headed straight for the demnition
bow-wows. But it isn't. The farm
ers will get good crop next year
and Ted and all the rest of us will
feel better. The appropriations and
finance committees have discharged
difficult and arduous duty very
creditably. 1t is a man-sized task

Hottest Battle of the Session.
Perhaps the most desperate con-
tested fight of the session was the all
day battle last Monday over the range
per capita billS All the pressure
that the Governors Office could cons
mand was put behind the proponents
of the bill. The party whip was
cracked and members were coaxedy
driven and threatened into line. All
the house leaders, including the
Speaker, were formed in battle array
on the bill as authors and all that the
Speakers authority and house leaders
cunning could accomplish were done
to put the bill across. 1t was jammed
through with "a ruthlessness that was
only outdone by complete callousness
to all right or justice. But the
Governor, the Speaker, the house
leaders and Old Guard of the senate
speedily found that they had the
highest fight of the session on their
hands. All their political, wisdom
and aall their cunning would have
awaited them naught if luck had not
come to their relief With the CRU

short of the necessary majority, the
house was held idle for a full half
hour, while search was made for
representative Nollet, who had ans
wered the "call of the house" earlier
in the day. Had Nollet been found
in ten minutes, the ballot would have
been complete and Per Capita would
have been beaten. But it took : a

 My Ford took me to Little Rock a flying last week. Having broken one of the rods which holds up the wind shield, not only had to take the shield down, but 1 had to let the top down also. It made a wonderful difference in its running. Though 1t is hard on a top to be lowering and raising it, it is a great saving on the machine. With the top down, it wanted to fly. ran it to Little Rock and out into the country and back each night at cost of only about $3 for oil and gas, and was at no other expense for it, but when l start ed for home I had muddy roads to go over. It had rained a good shower in Little Rock during the night, but the nearer home got the wetter the road got, and when got to the Mau- melle country l found that 1t had rained big rain the day before The road was in good shape except where 1t had just been worked and there or in some other mud hole l bent my steering rods and could hardly keep the. machine in the road. After get ting home 1 took a trip over to Bige- low across the mountain by way of Wye. After that l said never again. At the first high center l struck after leavnig the cross roads l broke the hand-holt off my crank. Getting nearly to the top of the mountain, 1 stopped the car to let 1t cool. I got out to crank ii up and found the handle gone and the end of the crank bent back and in between the spring and axle. 1 finally got it straighten- ed out and tied a string onto the end of it, but I could not crank the car. l then went to Nelson's and got his son, Count, to come back with me. 1 found him to be a real Ford expert and one of the most careful as well as about the best driver I ever rode with, and he is only about six teen. The recent rains had almost ruined the roads, but the work done by the county had not been damaged in the slightest. The next morning, which was Saturday, I continued on
