MUCH USELESS LEGISLATION
PROPOSED

The average member of law-making
body, whether the State Legislature or the
United States Congress, appears to be i'm
bued with the notion that he can best serve
his constituency by clodding the legislative
hopper with proposed laws to further burden
overcrowded statute books.
With less than three weeks since the
opening of the Minnesota Legislature some
thing like 2O9 bills had been introduced in
the House up to Monday of this week. The
total will pass 1000 before adjournment the
latter part of April. A very few of these
measures are needed and great many are
worthless. The legislative committees have
a tedious job sitting out the very few bills
of merit from large amount of chaff.
Very likely many of the members real
lie their proposed laws will not get out of
the committees, but they can return to their
homes in the Rural sticks, puff up like pouter
pigeons and endeavor to impress upon their
constituency that they are real men of af-
fairs with their colleagues.
The Herald editor was in and out on the
floor of the House and Senate of the Mime
sofa Legislature every day for three ses-
sions, and we soon learned that aside from a
dozen or so real leaders in both branches, the
personnel of the majorities were made up of
very mediocre ability.
The outstanding matters for the pres
ent Legislature to consider are the strength
ening of the states Criminal Code, the re-
vamping of the law under which the states
big Three" operate and the harmonizing of
the laws regulating the Highway department
along the lines suggested by Commissioner
Babcock. If the Legislature would do this,
adjourn and return home the state at large
would heave a sigh of relief

Herman Woman Meets
Tragic Death IN Cistern

Accident Occurred

Mrs. M. C. Berg, wife of the
manager of the Red and White
Store at Herman, met death Wed
nesday afternoon when she fell
through a trap door in the kitchen
of her home into cistern beneath
the kitchen floor. Death was caus-
ed by exhaustion and exposure.
1t is thought that Mrs. Berg
fell into the cistern at about 10 80
in the forenoon as neighbors re-
ported seeing her about the house
at about that time. She was alone
in the house at the time the acct.
dent occurred and was not found
until her husband came home al
noon. There was about eighteen
inches of water in the cistern and

out of the water but unable to

ABILITY ON THE FARM

Speaking in Minneapolis recently,
Charles D. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, and one of Americas fore
most business men, said that the more acres
he added to his farm the more he lost on it.
Samuel Insual, electric power magnate of
Chicago, is reported to have said that al
though he could buy what he needed for his
farm at wholesale prices and could make re-
pairs to his farm equipment in his shops at
lower than ordinary costs, he was still unable
to make his farm pay: Senator Couzens of
Detroit, former business partner of Henry
Ford, is credited by newspaper items with
saying that Notwithstanding the application
of best business practises possible in the op-
GRAFTON of his big farm, it could not be made
to pay anywhere near the same returns as did
the investment of like amount in industry
In view of these expressions it can not be
other than matter of much credit to the
farmers who have not had immense wealth
behind them but have been able to even 'get
by in the past days. When trained business
ability has not been able to make money out
of farming operations something in addition
must have been applied by the farmers-too
few of whom there are, it is true-who have
been succeeding in their business Luck some
times helps. Pluck is more sure aid.

Those who have been willing to employ the
latter have weathered the storm have come
through the period of after-war adjustment
without impairment that would prevent
them from forging ahead to full measures Of
success now that the turning point seems to
have been reached. The business men of
Sank Centre are glad-and not solely for rea-
sons of business either-that the farmers of
this community, in such large numbers, have
been able to make-good through the trying
times of the recent years. It is their very
earnest hope that the promise of substantial
Improvement in the agricultural industry,

rather unusual manner. In ap-

After momentary pause, the

the governor wrote them to as

There might be a lesson in this

his part more than tsbombard-
