COUNTY POLITICS

Politics in Pine county for
this year appears to be still
rather quiet and no big contests
have yet appeared on the hori-
zon; however when the proper
time rolls around-before the
June primaries-there will most
likely be opposition for. most
Of the county offices and per-
haps some real lively contests
will be the result.
Senator A. S. Larson of Sand
stone, who has now served the
56th legislative district, compris-
ing Chisago and Pine counties,
one term or four years as sena-
tor, has filed for reelection. So
far there has been no talk of
any opposition in Pine county.
but most likely Chisago county
will bring out a candidate, but
having served only one term and
being alert to the interests of
his district and up and doing all
the time Mr.. Larson will be a
hard man to defeat. Senator
Larson also served three terms
in the lower house of the legis-
lature when the two representa-
tives were elected jointly by
Chisago and Pine counties so is
also very well known to the
voters of our sister county.
Representative L. c. Petersen
Of Askov, has served two terms
from Pine county and will file
for reelection. There has been
talk of several others throwing
their hats in the ring for this
office, chief among them being
r. Odendahl and ]. E. Therrien,
both of Pine City, but nothing
definite has developed. Mr..
Odendahl was formerly a mem
ber of the Iowa legislature but
is . rather new man in this
county. While there has been
some talk of Mr.. Therrien filing
and he has been asked by some
Of his friends to do so. it is
most likely that he will not en-
ter that race but is more apt to
seek some office at the court
house. Mr.. Petersen has given
good satisfaction as a member of
the legislature and is we'll liked
and respected by his co-workers

are largely represented. He will
be hard man to defeat which
was demonstrated in. the last
two elections.
Pine county is to elect two
commissioners this year, the
terms of office in the first and
third districts expiring Jan. 1,
1923. Gust Anderson is the
present incumbent in the first
district and Nels Oakland holds
down the job in the third. It is
expected that both Of these gen.
tlemen will file for reelection,
and most probable both will have
opposition. During the past FIVE
or six years there has really
been too frequent changes on
the board of county commission
ers to be healthy and for the
good of the county, Anderson
and Oakland being the two old
est members on the board in
point of service-now finishing
up their fourth year or first
term. There is also such
thing as getting too old in the
public service when men lose
their vim and vigor and perhaps
become a drag ON the public and
when such is the case replace
ment is in order. But surely a
man can do better during his
second term than the first and
for this reason and coupled with
the fact that both Anderson and
Oakland are big farmers and old
settlers in the county. conscien-
tious and hard working commits
sioners it woufd seem most ad-
visable not to make changes at
this time. Both If these men
are alert to the interests of the
county and are giving their best
and are entitled to re election.
Mr.. Anderson is the present
chairman of the board.
Andrew p. Edin as county eu-
ditor; Frank Poferl, treasurer
and Jens P. Miller, superinten-
dent of schools. are all hard
working, conscientious men and
are deserving of reelection.
They are filling their offices ably
and it would be difficult to find
men who can do better. They
will file again. No opposition
has as yet cropped out. Edin
and Miller are both first term
men but are we'll known over
the county. the former serving
a term as commissioner from the
third district prior to his audi
torship and the latter having
taught several years in the pub
lie schools of Bruno and Askov.
Mr.. Poferl is always 10 be found
on the job back of the treasur-
ers window and his books are in
shape.
R. ]. Hawley has served the
county as sheriff for about %
years, but is still a comparative
ly young man and alert to his
duties. 1t will be remembered
that only a few months ago he
risked his life with a desparado
and was wounded, that being the
courage he displays constantly in
the fulfillment of his duties. 1t
appears that Mr.. Hawley is yet
unbeatable for sheriff of Pine
county.
James Wandel is an old-timer
in the office of register of deeds
and while there has been and is
yet considerable complaint on
account of the length Of time re-
quired for him to file an in
strument it seems that he is a
strong man in his office and is
very difficult to defeat. This
was plainly demonstrated in the
last election which he carried by
a good substantial majority.
While Mr.. Wandel is slow in re-
cording instruments this must be
said about him: that what he

WHERE BUS TRANSIT FAILED.

After "A trial of several years busoa
seem doomed 10 40 into tho discard
in kaneas city. Property owners on
routes where they have operated have
signified thumbs down. and the prop
erty owners have the power 20 decide.
A city ordinance puts tho burden OF
proof, so to speak, upon tho bus oper-
ators by requiring that they may not
run on any street unless they obtain
the consent OF 81 per cent of the
owners OF property facing tho street.
The ordinance has. inferentially. been
upheld by the State Supreme Court.
Dissatisfaction with tho street rail-
way service gave rise to varicgatcd
ventures with motor transit A series
of street railway strikes gave the
buses what seemed a secure footing
In popular favor. There were large.
top-heavy omnibuses. make shift buses
built on ordinary motor running
gears, and plain Ford cars. all carry
ing passengers over announced routes
for five cents. The routes largely par
alleled the car tracks. but usually fol-
lowed the boulevards. The length of
the five-cent trip was generally from
three to FIVE miles.
Kansas City is extremely proud OF
It's boulevards. IL possesses one of
the most elaborate systems OF the
sort In the country. IL has spent
forty years building and protecting
the roads and parkways. Heavy traffic
has been carefully barred from these
streets. which are among the choices,
for residence. When the buses grew
thick and overcrowded motor cars
came near turning the boulevards into
heavily Jammed traffic ways; many
concluded that it would not be much
worse If street railways had been LAID
there. Downtown streets, where the
bus lines copverged. also became ex.
tremely congested in rush hours.
So the town has discovered by ex
perience that bus. especially of tn,
