two houses have been holding
extensive hearings on this bill
which, it is said, is the big meas
ure which organized labor de.
manded in particular from the
present Legislature. The railroads
fought the bill, claiming that il
would add over a million dollars
to their operating expenses IN
Minnesota every year. The bill
provides for an additional brake
man for each freight or mixed
train having 40 ears or more. The
bill was killed in the senate by a
vote of 90 TO "a. Those who
spoke for its passage were NOM
bers Of the Farmer-Labor party.
The house passed the bill for
q constitutional amendment en-
powering the legislature to enact
a law for the establishment of a
state-owned terminal elevator at
Duluth. AS presented to the
house, the bill did not limit the
number of elevators. that the
state might build, nor designate
their location, but Rep. John B.
Hompe of Otter Tail county sub
mitted an amendment limiting
the number to one ana designat-
ing Duluth as the place where
it shall be located. Nh. dompe
was q member of the Fam ers Al
lance 40 years ago and served
in the house in 1889 and in the
senate in 1891 and 1893, and was
one of the authors of a bill APP
propriating money for the estab-
lishment Of a terminal elevator
by the state at Duluth. A site
was purchased, which the state
still owns, but the grain compa-
MES attacked the constitutions i
ty Of the law, winning out in the
supreme court, and the elevator
was never built. The vote for
the bill was "a against 3S. 1t is
expected that the senate will
pass the bill before the session
closes.

Christensen of Dawson, who re.
ferred to the fact that if the pro.
posed bill had been a law a few
years back, when j. J. Hill died
the state of Minnesota would
have received about million dol.
lars less out of his estate than it
did. The state, and not Ramsey
county, said Mr.. Christianson,
was entitled to this money from
the Hill estate, for it was in the
state as a whole that Hill made
his millions, not in Ramsey coun-
ty."
Interest up to Governor.
The senate concurred in the
amendment of the house, that the
8 per cent interest law shall not
take eject before January 1, 1924,
and the bill has gone to the Gov
ernor fer his approval. There is
a general belief that this new law
will prove injurious to Northern
Minnesota, as it will have a ten
dency to reduce the amount of
capital sent to that section from
eastern states capital sent there
i'm the past on account of the
high interest rates. Banks have
paid 6 and Z per cent on time de-
posts and eastern capitalists
have taken advantage of this by
sending over considerable money.
Hereafter the banks will be I'M
able to pay over 5 per cent on
time deposits.
The house committee on gener-
al legislation went on record,
without dissenting vote, in ia
vor of submitting a constitution
al amendment, reducing the ses-
sion of the Legislature from 80 to
70 days. At the same time the
committee recommended a bill in
creasing the salaries of repre-
sentatives to the legislature from
1000 to $1,000 per term and of
the state senators from $1,000 to
$4,000 per term of four years.

THE present position which

Opinions of Others
REPLIES TO COURIER DE-
DUCTIONS
Editor Ask0y American:

| Editor Colby blows off steam
over what he terms my howl on
bonds and road changes. If Col
| by was posted he would know
the howl is quite genera; not 50
much on bonds as the road
changes that would mean an
enormous waste Of money with
no benefit to speak of that may
not be gained in other ways.
Nature provides an easy over
head at Carlton county crossing,
an easy undertrack at Rut'edge;
the cost, drop in the bucket
compared to ten miles of new
road. If elimination of crossings
be the main consideration, why
cross the track at all? Why not
shoot straight up the west side
from Mission Creek into Duluth
Why amble around via Sandstone
except perhaps that a senator
lives there and it might be con-
strued as discourteous to pass up
the resident city of a senator.
| am still a booster for good
roads. My ideas may differ from
Colby's. | believe a road may
be a good road if built through
communities where people live;
much better, in fact, than one
shot through swamps and jun
giles where no one lives nor ever
will live, merely that it be
straight that the gentleman in
his Pierce-Arrow may bowl along
fifty miles per hour.
Colby's deductions as TO my
store interests are laughable. We
do not cater to tourist trade. We
sell no oils, gas or soft drinks. A
years profits on tourist trade
would not buy the writer's tobac-
co for a month.
If Mr.. Babcock were offering
routes at auction, | would not
bid a German mark for a west
side route so far rs profit TO my
store is concerned, but there are
garages and soft drink parlors
that would be hit. Our trade is
farmer trade and we would great
ly prefer that the street where
we are located be free FOR far
mers to use without danger to
life and property from speeding
autos.

house in repeating the law of
1921, which was tried out last
year and proved anything but
popular. The bill was a special
order in the senate for Friday. II
passed the house several weeks
ago with very little opposition, as
the politicians had decided that
it would be of little or no use TO
put up a fight for the pre-prim-
AIRY convention law. They rea-
soned that If they wish to hold
conventions, they can do so, law
or no law, just as they did in
1920 and 1918, II is taken for
granted that the governor will
approve the repeal bill when il
reaches him, as he has expressed
no solicitude for the retention OF
the convention law since the

ZEV, MY OWN and
UNTIDY NAMED in
BELMONT CLASSIC
$8O,OOO For Winner; Trip
Across Sea No Aid to
Papyrus
y By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Rather
philosophically, turf men and COM
mon fans accepted today the
American line up" announced by
the Jockey Club for the big 100000
international race at Belmont Park
of October 20.
Selection of Zev, Ny Own and
Untidy in the order named, as the
American three year olds eligible to
run against Papyrus, the English
Derby winner, was no surprise.
, Sentiment in New York is decid-
cdly pro-Zev and the decision of the
committee appointed by the Jockey
Club to select the "best three year
old' was acclaimed here as "the
only thing they could do.''
$4,000 for Winner
1t was pointed out that the race,
being declared sporting event,
alone, too much stress should not
be laid upon the financial side of
the race, although it was admitted
that $4,000 for the winner was
lduSneu OH us minor setback Tor
Admiral Grayson.
If anything should happen; to Hey
in the next two weeks My Own will
carry the American colors against
Papyrus. Untidy will go to the post
if My Own should not be able to
start.
j. b. Joel, South African million
airc horseman, who released Steve
Donough from his contract so that
he might ride Papyrus, arrived yes
terday on a business trip and ex-
pressed the opinion that Papyrus
was a good horse but that he had
assumed too much in making a
rough trip across the ocean to train
under strange conditions and run on
dirt track.
Donough, the premier jockey of
England, will sail next Wednesday
and when he arrives here Basil
Jarvis, trainer of Papyrus plans to
start the heavy part Of his charge s
training.
