LegislativeC Correspondence

St. Paul Feb. 19-In the first .twen-
ty-seven legislative days of the For
ty-second session of the Minnesota
Legislature there had been intro
duced in the Senate 389 bills and res
olutions of record and in the House
507 a total of 896. Casual CONVEX
sation with members of both houses
indicates that this total doesn't be-
gin to measure 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 no 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 day. That
sounds like short work day. but 1t
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 ranging
from nine on the Committees on
Military Affairs, Civil Administra-
ton, Soldiers Home, and State De-
velopment and immigration, to rs on
the Committee on Judiciary. In the
House there are 80 standing COM
mittees with a 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
mittees, where it receives considera-
ton according to it's merit, or accord
ing to the interest shown in, it by its
author and the citizens affected by its
provisions. This means that MEM
bers of the Legislature must devote
large portion Of their time to COM
mittee work and hearings, depending
on the Importance of their committee
assignments. ...
The constituent who comes to the
Capitol expecting to have 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 little inquiry the legisla-
tors might be found cooped up for
hours in one of the Little committee
rooms tucked away along the cor
ridors of the Capitol. One legisla-
tor who was criticized along these
lines during the past week by a Wis
itor from his home county took the
trouble to sit down and figure out
how he had spent his time during the
past three weeks.
There were Is legislative days in
those three weeks, from Monday to
Friday inclusive, but he found that
| dis Saturdays and part of his Sun
| days-yes, he goes to church Sun
day morning-were pretty fully &C.
cupied with some phases of legisla-
tive duties. Here are the figures he
gave his constituent:

The fault-finding visitor from
"home' made due apology for his
hasty critcizism when he realized
that there was something else in the
day of the legislator besides a few

Der listening 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 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 indicative
of this feeling, particularly as the

Tourist Season
On In The Hills

Deadwood, June 20.-There Is an
unusually large number Of strang
cars on the streets of the city these
days, most of them coming from the
eastern part of the state, although
there are many from other states.
1t is evident that the tourist sea-
son has started, and that there will
be more people come during the sum-
mer and fall to the Black Hills than
in any past year. If the crowd is not
tool arge, and it will have to be q
large one to overrun the accommoda-
tions, its people will find things con-
venient, comfortable and reasonable
in any of the many places they may
pitch their tens or locate for a sea-
son. City park camping grounds of
ever ytown in the hills are in shape
for the reception of visitors, and
many have already taken advantage
of the accommodations.

MANY RUSTLERS
SENT TO PRISON
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE AND
OFFICERS RID ROSEBUD
OF UNDESIRABLE

White River June 20.-Good pro-
gress is being made in the work of
ridding this part of the Rosebud
country of the numerous cattle and
horse "rustlers,' who for several
months early this year carried on ex-
tensive operations.
They became so active that a vigil
lance committee finally was organic
ed to aid the officers in running them
down.
Members of the vigilance commit
tee have rendered the authorities
valuable assistance with result that
a number of rustlers already have
been sent to the Sioux Falls peni-
tentiary, and others yet are to be
tried, while several have made their
way out OF the country.
Narcisse Moran, a mixed blood
Sioux, who was tried at the last term
of circuit court on the charge of
rustling, was not convicted, the jury
disagreeing, but he will be tried for
the second time during another term
of court which convenes here on
June 27. The jury in a similar case
against John Yellow Wolf, a Sioux
Indian, also disagreed, and he will
be given another trial at the Sep
tember term of court.
The latest to be arrested during
the campaign to rid the country of
rustlers are Roy Parks and Chas
Wits, who are charged with grand
larceny.
AS the result of their preliminary
hearing they were held for trial in
the circuit court. Parks furnished
bond of 1000 and Witt was re-
leased on $500 bond.

EX-SENATOR GRON|VA
ON IRISH FREEDOM
SENATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA
AT LAKE LAST EVENING.

With every possible argument at
his command and with an audience
of perhaps 1000, former Senator
Gronna of North Dakota made a
strong appeal for sympathy in the
cause of Irish freedom last evening
at the chautauqua auditorium.
Mr.. Gronna, who though his voice
was husky from much active plat
form work, gave a forceful address.
He showed why America should be
interested in Ireland and her efforts
to gain independence. Reference
was made to the'time when we sent
Benjamin Franklin to France to Sc
cure assistance and recognition at a
time when we were in a struggle for
liberty. At that time Ireland sent
$50, 900 of her sons to help. Latter
on the Friends of st. Patrick, an
Irish society, made this country a
free gift of 100000. The speaker
cited the fact that $3.50 of the peo-
pie who fought for American inde-
pendence were of Irish decent
The question was announced
whether or not it would be just
cause for offense to England should
we offer recognition for Ireland as
a separate political unit. Mr.. Gron-
ma thought not inasmuch as our po-
licy had always been operative to as
sist the worthy where oppression was
most unenduring. International law
implies recognition no just cause for
war,
1t is well known as a statistical
fact that 91Go of the Irish people
have voted for independence AS a
class the Hibernians want only a
government that is hers by inherent
rights.
Wherever Mr.. Gronna has spoken
he has discovered a strong sentiment
prevailing for recognition of the Irish
republic This nation is being soli-
cited of moral grounds solely and it
is certain that Mr.. Gronna is a
strong advocate for the principle of
self determination

PUREBREO STOCK SALE.
REGARDED AS SUCCESS.
300 PERSONS ATTEND BIG SALE
AT REDFIELD-BULL
PROVE DRUG.

Redfield, June 20.-Shorthorn day
in Redfield proved a great success
for nearly 800 breeders and their
families from over the state, espe-
cially as far as the show and picnic
were concerned, the sale falling
somewhat short of expectations, es-
pecially with bulls, for which there
seemed to be no demand, although
she stuff sold we'll.
McCone Bros, of Redfield, won all
the big prizes and the three silver
trophy cups awarded by the Short
Dakota Farmer for the best female,
and the trophy given by the state as
sociation for the best bull and fe-
male owned and consigned by the
same owner. The judging was done
Ivy John f. White, President M. J.
Flanagan, of the South Dakota Short
horn Breeders association, being
manager of the sale and show.
The sale, which followed the picnic
in the afternoon demonstrated that
BOOu ltIldit Slull was Ill uC1 III ue-
mand, but htat bulls were a drug
on the market. The average prices
for female stuff offered was $40 per
head.
The sale was topped by the win
ner of the grand champion award In
the heifer class, M. III. Mayors of
Redfield, paying $735 for the animal.
Morse Bros. of Seneca, paid $500 for
Roam Gem, winner of the cows with
calves class, while Robert Whitney
and Harold Murray, of Bath, paid
$485 and 1915 for winners of sec
ond and fourth places respectively in
the heifer class. Dick Lwellyn paid
$425 for two prize winning females.
Nels Christensen, of Sioux Falls, pur-
chased four head, which he present
ed to his daughter, residing north of
Redfield.

"The black stem rust is the des-

or predicted at this time what the

ASSOCIATION
OF NATIONS
PRESIDENT HARDING'S PLAN
is NOW TAKING
SHAPE

Washington, June 20.-A diplo-
matte report giving a rough outline
of an association of nations plan
said to be favored by President Hard
ing has gone to two South American
countries, it was learned today. The
two governments asked their repre-
sentatives for a report on the Hard
ing association. Salient features of
the plan were that the association
would have no written constitution.
Whose decision would be advisory
rather than binding the present al
lied supreme council could be used
as a nucleus for an association and
an international law court without
compulsory powers.

The two men met the girls in the
Deaconess hospital at Spokane and

to Chicago, but their funds were low,
so it was agreed they should bum"

N. D., as suspects in big bank rob-
berry. Freed twenty-four hours later,
they were re-arrested in Sioux City,

BLACK RUST IS

STATEMENTS ARE RECEIVED

Sioux City, June 20.-Not much
more than a trace of black rust was
found in Nebraska and South Dakota
in a tour of investigation made yes
terday afternoon by r. o. Cromwell,
Chicago crop expert who is visiting
this territory to ascertain the facts
Black rust was found to be as pre-
valent in winter wheat as in the
spring wheat. "But the rust discov-
cred is very slight" declared Mr.
Cromwell. at is like looking for
four-leafed clovers. Reports sent out
from South Dakota have greatly ex-
aggerated conditions. But no one
can tell what might be developed in
the next ten days.
"Of course, conditions as they now
exist will bear watching. If anyone
claims to have discovered more than
a trace of black rust his vision must
have been impaired"
Whether the black rust has attack
ed the wheat in the grain producing g
states or whether it has not, contin-
ues to be a mooted question of fact
that Sioux City grain dealers are en-
deavoring to determine.
Telegraphic advices received on the
Grain Exchange yesterday continued
to reveal contradictory statements re-
specting the reputed infestation, es-
pecially in South Dakota and Ne
braska. A telegram received from an
Omaha commission firm said: "A
leading grain man has reports from
twenty-five points in South Dakota
and northern Nebraska confirming
the black rust"
Another telegram dated at Nit
chell, S. d., said the spring wheat
fields were badly choked and the
heads filling poorly and that the
crop was just starting to head. This
message stated: "It is too early for
black rust to develop, but general
conditions are favorable for its de-
velopment."
Mr.. Cromwell, the Chicago expert,
representing e. w. Wagner & Co.,
arrived in Sioux City yesterday for
the purpose of conducting an inves-
tigation concerning reported preva-
lence of black rust in this territory

GOVERNMENT OF THE ISLANDS

Washington, d. c., June 20.-The
Philippine government is facing

today to congress by Secretary Weeks
who asked immediate action on
bill authorizing the island govern
ment to increase the limit of indebt-
edness from SIS 100000 to $4,000

General Wood and Mr.. Forbes who
are investigating conditions in the

the national bank with which the
island government provinces and
municipalities are required to deposit
all funds, was practically insolv-
ent."
