CHANGES PROPOSED
STATE PAROLE BOARD
And Other Activities as Report
ed From the Capitol City
by st. Paul Association.

Minnesota's machinery for the
handling of the criminal before
and after is to be given thor
ough over-hauling this spring in
preparation for the submission to
the next Legislature of a list of
major repairs, Judging from the
reports of the preliminary ses-
sions of 1.-THE Governors crime
commission held at the State
Capitol this week. How much
oil will be applied instead of
making recommendations for ma
terial alterations in the mechan-
ism is problematical but the
state-house seers insist that i'm
portant changes in the State
Board of Parole will result. This
forecast is based on the fact that
Chairman C. J. Swendsen and
Rev. H. C. Swearingen, senior
member, both told the Crime
Commission that they favor
changes.
Criticism of the Parole Board
because of the liberation of
prisonersVWho committed serious
crimes after being freed provok-

dents of Capitol Hill predict will
produce such information as will
make definite proposal for sub
stantial changes in Minnesota
system of dealing with crime one
of the major issues of the> next
session of the Legislature. The
various forecasts list changes to
be fought for as including: re-
vamping of the Parole Board by
barring anys tate officer or head
of a penal institution from it's
personnel, restriction of the
powers of the Parole Board and
compulsory notice to police or
CARNATIONS of.-its disposition of
cases. So
Citizens of the smaller cities,
towns land rural communities
throughout the state will be
especially interested in the out
come of legislative consideration
of the Minnesota crime situation,
it is predicted, as the creation
of state constabulary will be
urged again. The inability of
the smaller community to main
tain police forces adequate to

The biggest thing we can do
in America for 100 years is now
ready, the plan is correct, solid,
reliable, and we are all for it.
It's great to be for things be
fore they happen. Let's be for
the Great lakes waterways plan
as our best booster for improved
conditions for all.
Such is the main argument
used by Curtis NJ. Johnson in his
talk for the waterways, before
the high school assembly Mon
day noon, and at the Presbyterian
church last Friday night. A
talk on Minnesota Factories
and another on Junior Col
leges," will follow in a later
issue as these are being used by
Curtis M. Johnson before Com
mercial clubs and other ban
quets in other cities in the state
and our people should be inter
ested in these problems.

BUDGET MAKING TAUGHT
IN HOMEMAKERS' CLASS

Budget making, to the end
that the family income may be
used to the best advantage pos
sible, was one of the principal
subjects kept before women of
the state who attended the re-
cent short course for home
makers at University Farm. Mrs.
Clara Ingram Judson of Chicago,
housekeeper, author and budget
expert, led the discussion.
Mrs. Judson said the main
things to be considered in plan
ming a budget were savings,
operating expenses, food, cloth
ing, advancement, and luxury.
Money is a tool for getting ma
terial things she said. Ma
terial things are not so important
as spiritual, but one can probab-
ly be more spiritual when warm
and comfortable than otherwise"
In making budget she advis-
ed the class women to foot UP
the total amount of the family
income for the last fve-year
period and to base the budget on
the yearly average OF receipts
Money saved and invested is
money spent in buying an in
come and increasing a sense of
security" she said, Find out
what your money will do and
what it won't do and do not try
to do everything with it."

LET NE BE A FRIEND
TO MAN"
(Fairmont Sentinel.)

When Sam Walter Foss was
questioned as to how he. hap
pened to write the poem, There
are Hermit Souls That Dwell
Apart" he replied:
| was tramping in New Eng
land one day. | was tired and
longed for wagon to come
along and give me a lift. | sat
down under the grateful shade
of a tree and nearby saw crude
sign which read: There is a
spring here, if you are thirsty,
drink" A little farther on was
a bench on which was written,
"Sit down and rest if you are
tired" A sign in a basket of
beautiful apples placed tempting
ly near invited IF you like
apples, help yourself" Most
gratefully did | avail myself of
this gracious hospitality.
Passing on | met an old man
and asked him how the signs hap
pened to be placed there so that
weary travellers, like myself,
might become refreshed.
Well" replied the owner OF
the place, his kindly, wrinkled
face beaming upon me-''We had
water a-plenty and | thought it
would be a good thing to share
it with thirsty travellers; this is
a pleasant spot to rest, SO !
brought down an old bench from
the attic; we have more apples
than we can dispose of SO ma
and | thought it would be nice
to divide with others, so we
bring some down every day. 1t
scanned to do good so we kept
it up"
| thanked the man and passed
on my journey greatly refreshed
in soul and body. When |
reached home | wrote the poem:
Let Me Live in a House by the Side
of the Road
And Be Friend to Man.

ON BEING THANKFUL

The inmates of the county
poor farm were sitting in the as
.sembly room waiting for the
Thanksgiving dinner. Two old
men were talking about other
Thanksgiving days when they
had been better off.
Well" said one, ut don't
seem as if | have a thing to give
thanks for this year."
ooh, | don't know" replied the
other as the odor of roasting tur-
key filled his nostrills. Il only
have two teeth in my mouth, one
in my upper jaw and one in the
lower, and thanks be to the Lord,
they meet"

An exchange comments as fol-
lows: With all of the increase of
crime and law violation in high
as we'll as low places In the.
United States, it sounds a little
SNUG and hypocritical for people
in this country to be referring
to the systems of government in
other nations as bad. . True,
we should sweep our own door
steps first for there is lot of
sweeping to be done. But the
home and not the government, is
the root of it. With good homes
the duty of law making bodies
and courts is greatly reduced.
The time to bring up folks is
when they are children. When
grown up it must be done by
force to a great extent and that
which must be done by force is
never done so well.

Save Minnesota farmers q
million dollars every year on
freight by digging the ditch to
connect the ST. Lawrence river
and the Great lakes to the At
lantic ocean and make a sea
port at every Great lake station
in America. Dig the ditch and
and double the shore line of the
u. S. Dig the ditch and open
up the Central West to factories
to compete for business in world
ports, now shut off by freight
rates from mid-continent to sea
board, congested now, with trans
shipping costs increasing.
Dig the ditch and ship in
ocean steamers from Duluth to
the ports of the world. Dig
the ditch and carload Of butter
now costing 5000 freight, rail
rates, from Rush City to the At
lantic coast, will cost only $3.50
to land these by ship from Du-
luth. Dig the ditch and open
the land-locked Central West to
the world and place agriculture
that much nearer a paying basis.
This means that the Great
lakes Tidewater Canal system
should be completed to solve
transportation, labor, industry
and agriculture problems for the
midwest and secure our indepen-
dence from the East that now
dominates, rules, and controls the
situation for their benefit and
at our expense. Solve this pro-
blem by demanding immediate
action. The engineers are ready
to report, Congress is in session,
let's force them to act at once.
If the As million people in the
mid-continent, from Pittsburgh
at the head of the Ohio river in
the East to Billings Mont, at
the head of the Missouri river
in the vests and from New Or
leans on the south, to Duluth on
the north will agree on the plan,
they can secure the advantages
of ocean rates through the Great
lakes; of river transportation
through the Mississippi, Missou-
ri, Illinois, and a completed st.
Croix river to lake Superior sys-
tens; of an incentive for western
factories; of improved agricul-
tural conditions; through the i'm
mense savings that will be eff
fected, in transportation and
handling costs.
Our farmers pay freight both
ways and the East is getting trib-
ute from the West and are fight
ing this great world improve
ment for their own selfish in
terests. New York City can
not build another dock without
double decking; their freight is
congested and held in cars or
terminal warehouses for an aver
age of 81 days before being re-
loaded. Their attitude is self
ish, sordid and mercenary.
Their opposition is hidden and
sullen. Let us speak in no I'M
certain terms, demanding our
congress, that's us, (we're the
Government they represent us,
to act toward completion at this
session.
