Christiania, Jan. 19.--A proposal to submit the Norwegian Danish contro- versy over Greenland either to the league of nations or the international court of justice at The Hague is meet ing with considerable approval in Norway.

Voters Are
Asking Why
WANT TO KNOW NEED IN CALL
ING SPECIAL STATE
ELECTION.

As the senatorial campaign gets
under way, reports from over the
state indicate that the voters are
keenly interested in "Why" as well as
"Who." The need of the special cleo
tion, with its resulting expense, has
oeen questioned widely.
The question was answered by +.
A. Pike, chairman of the state CEN
trail committee OF the Farmer-Labor
Party, in a statement appearing in
he Minnesota Daily Star, May 4th.
1r. Pike declared, after reviewing the
law in the matter: 1T is clear. that
the duty devolves upon Governor
'reus to call a special election to fill
the senatorial vacancy now existing"
He points out:
'The seventeenth amendment, which,
Of course, now controls, provides that
vacancies shall be filled in the senate
by a special election, to be called by
he governor, unless the state legisla-
ture shall have empowered the COVER
nor to fill the vacancy by appointment,
until the next election. This auth
,rity has not been given to the gov
ernor of Minnesota. as / have shown,
he statute of 1913 is void, and no
thel law has been passed by the leg
islature relating to the filing of such
vacancies" The Farmer-Labor leader
holds that Chapter $40, Laws of 1919,
was Unconstitutional and wholly void,
because it provided method for SEN
atorial elections contrary to the con-
stitution of the United States.
1t is the expressed opinion of state
senator James A. Carley, democratic
candidate. as quoted in the press that
"The calling of the election by Gov
ernor Preus was a fair and square
move. II didn't think the democrats
were to be given any consideration
In a statement answering an in
quiry from a Minnesota editor Attor-
ney General Hilton gives reasons why
''If precedents were followed, as they
doubtless would be, person appoint
ed by the Governor of Minnesota to
fill the vacancy would not be seated"
Chapter $50. Laws of 1913, as pass
ed by the state Legislature, included
section empowering the governor
to fill a senatorial vacancy by ap-
pointment. This law was passed be-
fore the ratification of the 18th
amendment to the federal coEstiru-
ton. Attorney General Hilton states
''It follows that at the time Of its
passage Chapter 500 was unccnstitu-
tional. being in direct conflict with
the then existing provisions OF the
federal constitution

of the United States have uniforms

Counties Profit
by State Plan
AUTO TAXES PAYING EXPENSE
OF IMPROVING AND MAINTAIN
ING MAIN COUNTRY ROADS.

The Redwood county total of 4,612
automobiles and trucks is exceeded by
Inose in 2l other counties in the state,
according to a compilation by The
Farmer, a st. Faul farm journal.
A highway bulletin this week points
out that machines in this county at
average taxes yielded state trunk high
way funds of S74,9 ,945, or at the rate
of $3.50 for each of the 80 miles of
trunk routes in the county.
Comparisons are given for Ramsey
and Hennepin counties, which include
Paul and Minneapolis making large
contributions yearly to the trunk
highway fund although none of the
money is used in these cities. Ramsey
county auto tax payements were at
the rate of S22,540 a year for each
le of trunk highway in the county
The sum is almost equal to the paw
ing cost. Hennepin county auto tax
es aggregated S1,215,000 or $17,246, a
mile of trunk route within it's borders.
Minneapolis car owners, it was esti-
mated, are paying about $1,000,000 a
year toward highways in the rural
sections of the state. The average
county has 1858 motor vehicles and
80 miles of trunk highways-the auto
taxes average 1888 a mile of trunk
route.
Figures are included to show the
steadily increasing Importance Of
good roads to Minnesota farmers, es-
pecially in the absence of better plan
to secure them. Minnesota farmers
bought more than 10000 motor ve-
hicles last year and now are topped
only by the farmers in five other
states. They bought more than 1000
tractors in the last two years and
there are now tractors on better than
one farm in six. Minnesota and the
Dakotas have more tractors on farms
in proportion to the number than
any other territory in the world. An
increase of Sc per cent last year in
the motor truck hauling of livestock
to the South St. Paul markets is cited
as evidence of the fact that the far
mers are getting more and more use
cut of the better highways.
