Veterinarians who are urging chang.

and that Iowa and Nebraska now allow
farmers to handle the matter, with
good results.
Removal of threshers from the

BIennlum's Budget Low assLast.

With approximately S50,000,0o0 in
cred for the next biennium, the House
committee on appropriations and the
Senate finance committee have n hard
Or task than ever before to get the
state budgets in shape for final action
by the legislature.
Already requests for money are
coming and there is every indication
that, to keep the bill to the taxpayers
as low as in the last two years, the
strictest economy program must be
instituted.
A general survey of appropriations
from known sources which must be
considered, led Theodore Christianson,
chairman of the House appropriations
committee, to estimate that $45, 000,0 900
wcRld be needed to take care Of every
one. There always are numerous ap-
preparation measures which cannot be
anticipated until they appear before
the legislature in the form Of bills, and
these, Mr.. Christianson belives, can

State departments will be no simple
problem from a standpoint Of appro-
priations, since several are in bad
way financially, among them the de-
partments Of banking, insurance,
weights and measures and the state
timber board. An emergency bill ap-
propriating $10.50O to help out the
banking department already has been
introduced in the House by the House
banking committee. Although no

have had to curtail their work to keep

WEEKLY RESUME Of THE
MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
GAS TAX BILL FRAMED
Committees to Determine constltu-
tIonailty Of Gasoline Levy.

Motor vehicle tax committees Of
both House and Senate will begin
work at once on revision of the pres
ent automobile tax laws, and will use
suggestions contained in a report by
Mike Holm, secretary of state, as a
working basis.
The report of Mr.. Holm, in sub
stance gives his viewpoint Of what is
wrong with the present law, based on
two years experience in administer
ing it.
Gasoline Tax Recommended.
One important recommendation in
Mr.. Holm's report Is tax on gasoline
to supplement the registration tax, in
order to compensate for the difference
between motor vehicles as to the ex-
tent that they use the highways. The
report adds that "the registration tax
might then be made proportionately
lower with correspondingly lower min
imums."
Whether the gasoline tax can be
levied Is a debatable question among
legislators, since 1t Is not clear wheth.
er the good roads amendment to the
Constitution permits such tax.
Among the recommendations pro-
posed is that the tax should be COM
puted on the same factory list price
each year for all corresponding mod
els Of the same make regardless Of
what the factory price may have been
the year when the various models
were manufactured.
Schedule Proposed.
The report suggests the following
as the new schedule OF minimum taxes
on cars Of certain weight, and with
valuation fixed by the recommended
rate Of depreciation from factory list
price of the year the tax is for:

EXTEND TIME TO MARCH 81
House Votes to Extend Final Date to
Obtain Licenses.

st. Paul-By. unanimous vote, the
House of Representatives passed an
emergency bill to extend the final date
for obtaining 1923 automobile licenses
from January 81 to March 81.
The bill was introduced by the motor
vehicles tax committee of the House.
AS passed by the House, the auto
mobile tax bill gives the car owners
until March 81 to buy their license
tags, delays invoking the 25-cents-a.
day penalty until April 3, and permits
persons whose applications for
licenses have been submitted to the
secretary of state to use their 1929
plates until May 1.
The bill was put through at the re-
quest of Mike Holm, secretary Of state,
who said such delay would facilitate
the work of his offics. =.
Meanwhile, the respective commit.
tees in both houses will get busy re-
vamping the present motor vehicle
taxes to make them more equitable.
An outline of suggested changes, pre-.
pared by MI. Holm, 4, before the com.
mittee members and revisions will be
attempted somewhat in line with these
recommendations.

CHANGES IN ARCTIC OCEAN
Seals Said to Be Finding Temperatures
q Little Too High, and Ice Is
Less Plentiful.

The Arctic ocean Is warming up, Ice
bergs are growing scarce and in some
places the seals are finding the water
too hot. according to a report to the
Commerce department from Consul
lift at Bergen.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunt
ers and explorers all point to radical
change in climatic conditions and hith-
erto unheard of temperatures in the
Arctic zone, exploration expeditions re-
porting that scarcely any ice has been
encountered as far north as 81 degrees
20 minutes. Soundings to a depth Of
800 meters showed the Gulf stream
still warm.
Great masses Of ice have been re-
placed by moraines Of earth and
stones, while at many points we'll
known glaciers have disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are
being found in the eastern Arctic,

tured 30 far north. are being eneoun-
tered In the old seal-fshing grounds.
