Federal agency. 1t appears from
communications addressed to the
Commission that the small broad
casting stations which cropped out
like mushrooms are fearful that they

interests. There are other groups
which insist that chaotic conditions

commission has a mean problem to
solve. They will have eight months
before they are subjected to the ad-
vice of Congress.
The President of the United States
will not aid or abet exploitation in
volving his name or summer home.
This position has been clearly stated.
1t may be taken as warning for
those communities which are honestly
glad to have the Chief Executive as
a neighbor during the vacation period.
The professional boosters of certain
chambers of commerce and kindred or
CARNATIONS have overplayed them
selves, according to reports here.
For instance, there are some local
tiles where Mr.. Coolidge would be
glad to live for few months but not
at the expense of the dignity which
comes to his high office He wants
the country to know that the presence
of the President must not be used
as a bait for real estate promotions
or in extolling the advantages of GER
tain climates. 1T is a simple matter
for the other citizens of the country
to select a summer vacation place,
but it presents many problems to the
President.
The cables bringing stories that
marines are participants and no long
er observers in the strife of China
makes the Navy Department buzz
with excitement. War conditions on
smaller scale than in 1917-191S
hive returned as our expeditionary
forces line UP for action. 1t is diff

plate or request leave of absence, as
every man must be at his post dur
ing the crisis. At>present public in
terest is not at top pitch, but hostili-
ties with numerous casualties will
change the nations perspective.
The tax reduction program is about
the only subject that the political par
ties have kept alive for discussion.
1t will be threshed out for months as
it has an unmistakable bearing on
the next presidential campaign.

Minnesota Legislative Letter

Lilygren, Long, Mackenzie, Orr,
Stemsrud
Absent-Carley, Duemke.
1t is quite certain that the bill as
reported to the senate the next day
Will command a majority in that
body. When it reaches the house it
will be taken up by the appropriations
committee of that body. of which
Governor Christensen was for eight
years the chairman and which is con-
trolled by his friends, it is said.
That committee will, in all probable
ity, amend the bill by striking out
everything after the title and sub
stituting a bill of its own, which the
house, also controlled by the COVER
nor's friends, will pass. Then it will
go back to the senate for concurrence
in the amendment. That body will,
of course, refuse to concur, and the
fight between the two branches will
be taken up by a conference commit
tee. There a battle royal will be
staged, no doubt, with Rockne as the
chief spokesman for the senate.
If the senate wins the fight, Gov
ernor Christensen will be UP against
a stiff problem. If he approves the
bill, he will have to acknowledge de-
feat-the first of his career as COVER
nor. If he vetoes the bill, an extra
session will be necessary, for it will
be impossible at this session to pass
a new bill satisfactory to the COVER
nor.
As amended, the senate educational
appropriations bill carries $14,7B9, 325
for school aid, or $3,789,325 more
than the budget recommended, also
new items of 100000 for building
at the ST. Cloud Teachers College and
$4,000 for one at Moorhead also new
buildings at the Crookston and Morris
branch schools of agriculture.
Minnesota as a state would help
finance the fight for the McNary
Haugen bill, if the legislature ap-
proves a joint resolution offered in
the senate Tuesday. 1t creates an
agricultural Equality Commission,
and companion bill provides $4,000
to pay its expenses for the coming

ALBERT ANDERSON DIES

Albert Anderson, a former Pine
county commissioner, died on the
morning of March 25th at his home
north of Oak lake. Mr.. Anderson suf-
fered a paralytic stroke several years
ago from which he never recovered
and the past few months was in a
serious condition, his departure be-
ing expected momentarily. He with
his brothers came to Pine county from
Clarkfeld, Mimi, the early part of
1900, and settled on land north of
Oak lake and they have all made nice
homes for themselves. Mr. Anderson
served term as county commission
er from the year 1917 to 1921 and
was a conscientious and painstak-
ing official, taking also an active in
terest in the social life of his own
community. He was well liked and
his host of friends extend sympathy
to the bereaved relatives. The fun
eral was held from the home on the
north shore of Oak lake ON the 30th,
interment being made in the Oak
lake cemetery

The basket ball game between the
farmers and the business men that
was held in the opera house here IN
Ger the auspices of the base ball club,
Tuesday evening, was accorded one
of the largest crowds gathered in that
place for some time, and those that
attended witnessed one of the most
thrilling games that was ever held
there. A large part of the crowd
consisted of rural fans, and no doubt
their yelling encouraged the farmers
to the extent of walking away with
the high honors The game was well
played considering that most of the
players were inexperienced and Re
fierce Sam Gjertson and his assistant,

guard, but it was too late to overcome
the lead, and the farmers won by a
score of IA to 10. Percy Robinson,
manager of the farmer team, deserves
considerable credit for his rare judg-
ment in selecting his players.
Many of the players and spectators
attended the dance that followed the
game which proved to be a very bril-
liant affair. One of the very apparent
and charming features of the affair
was the air of sociability which pre-
vailed. and the many guests from
the country and nearby towns who
participated in the event and mingled
gleefuIly with local people unquestion-
ably enjoyed themselves.
The net proceeds for the evening
were S130.15. The expenses were only
about $1,000, through the generosity
of Guy Thorne who furnished the
opera house for the dance and game
free of charge, and c. w. Colby who
I Furnished the advertising.
The fire alarm sounded at 11:45
O'Clock Tuesday evening, when E. M.
Deming, returning home from the
basket ball game, discovered Ben
Greenly's house on fire, and notified
central to turn in the alarm. The
fremen, most of whom were attending
the dance, were soon on the scene
and had two streams of water on the
fire which seemed to have gained con-
siderable Roadway. On account of
the dense smoke and terrific heat in
the building, considerable water was
used before the place could safely be
entered. The entire stairway was
burned and a large portion of the
second floor 1t seems as though it
started beneath the stairway and had
been burning a long time before it
was discovered. Mr.. and Mrs. Green
| 1y were attending the dance and were
unaware of the fire until after the
alarm had sounded. Some of the
contents were completely destroyed
and others were badly damaged. The
house and contents were partially
covered by insurance.

New System In Use.
The method of making wrought iron
as opposed to the old hand pudding
system is being thoroughly tried out
by the Byers Co. Sheetmakers have
seized on new method of sheetmak-
ing which as yet is hardly past the
experimental stage. The Weirton
Steel Co. has just begun operating a
continuous strip mill employing 1900
men. which, according to its capacity,
would have required 5000 men with
old equipment and methods. The
American Rolling Mill Co. at Ashland.
KY, and the American Steel & Wire
Co. each has announced authorization
Of an additional continuous strip mill.
The Rolling Mill Co. employs 20 men

tonnage on hand mills would require
40 hot mill crews, totaling $50 men on
an eieht-hour shift.

made by United States Steel mills and

that things are prosperous so that the
public may be induced to buy steel.
Steel men say there seems little to
Justify the improvement in sentiment,
since a pickup in production is over
due at this time Of year. The better
ment is due to the fact that new
equipment and new processes have
placed the industry in the strongest
nosition it has ever held, excepting
the war years.
Processes Cost Millions.
The steelmakers have spent mil
lions in these new machines and proc
esses They will continue to spend
millions for years to come, but they
count on getting every cent back, and
lot more, in the saving or costs.
Prices have been showed up on some
steel products recently, but this has
been q gesture intended to spur
prompt purchases. What the manu-
facturers really depended on for prof
it's was the cut in costs.
The industry, according to the old
and antiquated method of computa-
ton and description, is operating at
so to G5 per cent of capacity. But
more steel Is being made, ton for ton,
than ever before. In some cases three
plants are doing the work formerly
