CREDIT BILL COMES TO VOTE
Some Real Action Expected in Legis-
iature Within Near Future.

st. Paul-The Minnesota Legislature
is completing its sixth week and is
now determined to move several i'm
portant legislative matters out of the
way. These include the rural credits,
iron ore royalties, and preprimary
convention repeal bills in the House.
and the uniform small loans and dance
hall bills in the Senate
For five weeks the Legislature has
logged along while dozens of import
ant bills have accumulated. In the last
few days, however, legislators showed
an inclination to get out from under,
and from now on they will be busy
making all principal bills special or
ders as fast as they are reported out
of committees.
The big fight will center around the
two rural credits bills in the House.

taxes killed the Quinn bill to repeal
the law for official publication of per-
sonal property tax lists outside the

Old District Bills.

The District Commissioners are
making ready to bring to the atten-
ton of Congress bills on which final
action was not taken at the last ses-
sion. Many of these bills aimed at
legislation desired by the people, and
had the Endorsement of civic bodies
and the municipal authorities. 1t is
thought that Congress was favorable
to the enactment of a number of
them. and that they failed of passage
because of the press of measures in
which a large number of congressman
were more keenly interested and be-
cause of the legislative jam in the
closing hours of the session.
Engineer Commissioner Bell has di-
rected that bills which failed of pas
sage in the late Congress, and which
concern his department., shall be made
ready for presentation to Congress in
December. The secretary of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission is preparing
a schedule of bills not acted on last
session, and which are to be intro
duced in the coming Congress. One
of the important bills is that for the
extension of 14th street through the
grounds Of Walter~Reed Hospital. The

The Washington Election.

Democratic leaders, not unnatural
| ly, are seizing upon the election of
| Judge Sam B. Hill, democratic nom
| inee, in the fifth Washington congress
| sional district, as a distinct party vic
| tory and augury for success in the
national contest next year. The elec-
| ton is the first in which national is
| sues were considered since President
Coolidge entered the White House.
| But there are circumstances con-
nected with the election of Judge Hill,
by very narrow majority of some
! 500 to 600 votes, which may well give
| the democrats pause in their rejoicing.
| The election was to fill a vacancy
created by the resignation of Repre-
sentative J. Stanley Webster, repub-
lican, to acceH a seat on the bench.
Mr.. Webster was elected in 1922 by
2.172 votes. but there was a third
| ticket, farmer-labor. in the field at
that time which polled 3,095 votes.
| The democratic candidate, Judge Hill,
this year was indorsed by the farmer
labor party so indorsed Mr.. Webster's s
| opponent in 1922, Mr.. Webster, on the
! face of the returns, could not have
! been elected.
f; Still another factor may have had
| its influence in the recent election.
The republican organization in the
state was pretty well shot to pieces in
| 1922, and Mr.. Webster opposed the
reelection of Senator Poindexter, re-
publican, who was defeated by some
! 5000 votes.
! On top of this, dispatches from
! Washington indicate that only about
/ AZ per cent of the potential vote of
| the fifth district was cast in the cleo
/ tion of Judge Hill.
! sIn accepting the support of the
; farmer-labor group. Judge Hill swal-
| lowed some of the 'isms" of that
party which regular democrats may
have difficulty in stomaching. For
example, he favors having the gov
ernment fix the price of wheat, and
favors having the federal judiciary
elected.
So far as the agricultural popula-
tion of Washington is concerned-that
part of the population which is res
! ported to be the most up in arms over
the present situation-it appears that
State Senator Myers. the republican
opponent of Judge Hill, carried five
of the seven agricultural counties of
the district. The republicans are taxi
ing a certain degree Of satisfaction
from this fact.
The republican tariff, according to
democratic leaders, and the failure of
the administration effectually to aid
, the farmers in their present plight
were the dominant factors in bring
ing about the election of a democrat
in the fifth Washington district.
|. Furthermore, they point out that
Myers, the republican candidate,
adopted a slogan of "Stand by Cool
idge" Clearly, the democrats say,
there was a definite division over ma
tional issues, and the democrats won.

William H. Baldwin.

William H.. Baldwin, who has just
died in this city, was one of the most
active and useful citizens of the Capi-
tai during his twenty years of resi-
dence. Having retired from business.
he devoted himself energetically to
public welfare matters, giving his time
unstintedly to the promotion of works
of Importance to the community. His
major interest during the latter part
Of his life was in the correction of
the loan shark evil, and it was large
ly through his instrumentality and
persistent endeavor that a law was
enacted which checked the heavy
drain of usury upon the purses of the
people Of slender means. Later it was
found that in certain respects this law
worked unequally and in some re-
spects harmfully, and Mr.. Baldwin
sought to secure effective amendment.
His health failed, however, before this
was accomplished. Indeed, it has not
been yet effected, and the work he
started in conjunction with others in
terested with him in the public well
fare remains to be completed. WASH
ington is fortunate in gaining the
citizenship of such men as he, who,
leaving their active business, seek
agreeable surroundings in their re-
tirement and choose the National
Capital as their home. Mr.. Baldwin's S
death occasions deep regret, for he
had endeared himself to many and
had won the respect and esteem OF
all who knew him.
