Lakehurst, N. ]. Exactly 20
hours and 43 minutes after she had
sailed from Bermuda, the big United

to earth at her home field here.
Aboard the giant aircraft were three
sacks Of American mail from Ber-

sooner than boat could have
brought them.
Strong head winds and generally
rough weather accounted for the
slow time on the return trip, Captain

trip had taken on the Los Angeles

Governor Makes Statement.

The 1925 legislature appropriated
too much money, in the opinion OF
Governor ~Christianson, but otherwise
1t made good record, he said Wed.
nesday In passing comment on the
results Of the 44th session. The gov.
ernor reiterated his previous stand
that appropriations could have been
held below the $4O,000,OOO mark.
His statement in full follows:
THE 1925 legislature appropriated
too much money. Otherwise it made
good record. 1t passed the bill re.
organizing the state government,
which will give the governors office
the power to check the expenditures
Of state departments. The bill does
not go as far as 1t should in eliminat.
ing and consolidating agencies OF gov.
eminent, but it provides a means to
study the problem and make further
recommendations to the next legisla.
ture.
ut Is unfortunate that most of the
unnecessary and Objectionable appro.
priations are In such form that they
cannot be vetoed, under a constitution
which gives the executive power to
strike out but not reduce items. The
total appropriations would have been
held down to $39,00O,0OO, and should
have been.
THE legislature showed a com.
mendable disposition to pass more
laws than have been enacted at pre-.
vious sessions, and to frown on pro-
posals for two state activities.
I'm my opinion the most serious
mistake of the session was the failure
to enact legislation compelling local
units Of government to provide def.
mite and irrevocable means for the
liquidation of their bonded indebted.
ness. 1t is evident that the practice
of mourning bills for posterity to pay
will continue at least two years long.
err"
Another law enacted by the legisla-
ture makes It possible to incorpor.
ate a cooperative organization formed
for the purpose Of acquiring. leasing,
owning or operating an apartment
building. Mutual hail and cyclone in
surance companies are to be allowed
to insure mutual or cooperative cream
cries, and cheese factoYies, in addi-
ton to the other property that they
already have been allowed to insure.
Farmers Receive Aattention.
The farmers principal concern
about the Minnesota legislature this
session seemed to be to make sure
that he would be able to get some more
loans through the rural credits sys-
tenn. The legislature Is going to let
him have a maximum of $30,000,000
more, this to be in addition to the
$40,000.000 allowed by the 1923 legis.
lature, all excepting 100000 OF
which has been distributed.
The legislature decided to 60 ahead
with the rural credits activity in spite
of demands to cut down the work
