STATE CAPITOL CHATTER
byoB b.. for The y liner


St. Paul, April 5, 1927.-The ex-
ira session cloud that loomed over
the horizon so dark and menacing
week and more ago seems dissipated
by the bright sun of compromise.
The spirit of "give and take" has
apparently succeeded to the more
warlike spirit of flight to the last
ditch" and leaders on both sides are
feeling much better about it thank
you. And it is well that it is so.
Just what brought about the
itch" for compromise of the differ
ences of opinion relative TO the ap-
preparation program hasn't yet come
to the surface, at least / have been
unable as yet to put my finger on it
and say: "This is the reason"
Nevertheless leaders on both sides
seemed suddenly last week-on the
very eve of the expected big fight
to come to realization that there
may be thruth and logic in the old
saying: "He who fights and runs
away may live to fight another day."
And by this don't mean to insinuate

that can be bulldozed, SO in the
course of his remarks he said:
II want you to understand that I
take water from no man."
You should have heard the shouts
of laughter that greeted this "fox
pass!" The welkin rang as it sell
dom does in the senate chamber.
OF course, everybody knows that
Henry votes 'twet" and believes in it
hence the merry ha-ha, in which
he Joined heartily. He had meant to
say that he "backs water for no
man." but he didn't.
There are still plenty of folks who
believe that water was made only to
run under bridges, Volstead not
withstanding.
The Ely miner., 1927-04-08

that there is any yellow streak on
either side of the economy fence,
for there are "he-men" on both sides,
men who lik a good, hit-straight-
from-the-shoulder battle, men who
are afraid of nothing except being
thought towards.
Governor Christianson stood a
good chance of winning, no matter
which way the battle went in the leg
islature. He Yas the central figure,
and his economy program the bone
of contention. His very position
made it possible for him to suggest
an effort to. avert the threatened
i, fight, yet seriously doubt that he
made the first move.
/ am rather inclined to believe
that loyalty to the Republican party
was the motive power that brought
the contending forces together, for
the simple reasons that those in the
van on both are staunch, lifelong
members of the party. They natur-
ally wouldn't want to be held re-
sponsible for party split or 'schism,

Minnesota today. It requires the
study of every citizen and intelligent
administration of all our natural re-
sources. Mistakes in administration
will occur and there will be problems
to face, but let us face them honestly
and with open minds. The Ten
Thousand Lakes Association hopes
that you will take, more lively inter-
est in conservation than ever before
and that you will devote your best
efforts along the line of assisting the
State Department Of Conservation in

as we used to say in the days of old.
Probably, also, the anti-administra-
ton generals didn't relish the idea
of a coalition with the Narmer-La-
bor members ITO win a fight against
members of their own party and es-
pecially the party's nominal head,
the governor.
Anyhow, it's a pretty safe guess
that before these lines are in print
an agreement will have been reached
ON the appropriation bills that will
satisfy both sides and the governor,
as we'll as those school districts that
have failed to get their full amount
of school aid in the last four years.
Included in the compromise agree
| ment, it is also planned to provide
for payment to the various counties
of the state, their one third share of
the moneys paid out for Mothers S
! pensions, the total of which, due TO
the counties is slightly more than
$2,00O,000. If this compromise
goes through, st. Louis county stands
to receive $265, ,670.85 as its share
of the refund by the state under the
terms of the 1917 law. What more
can be asked? Blessed is the peace
maker.
/ AS foretold MANY weeks ago in
this column, there will be no bank de.
posits guarantee law passed at this
session, the bills along this line hav
ing now been killed by decisive votes
in both senate and house.
i However, several measures are ex
i pected to be passed that will amend
the present banking laws in such {
q manner as to make for better an6
more conservative banking ano
greater safety for depositors.
/ After all, you can't legislate hon
esty into men in the banking bust
ness any more successfully than yor
can legislate morality into the gen
teral public. 1t just isn't being done
But you can make it harder for the
incompetent and dishonest to get in
to or staysi the business-and thai
is what l look for this legislature tx
do before it adjourns.
4 Then with a slow but sure return
of normal economic conditions, the
banks of Minnesota will be able te
work out their own salvation and in
sure the safety of the other fellow:
money intrusted to- them.
***
/ Last week there was much pushine
ahead of bills by suspension of the
rules in both bodies to speed up theil
passage, but this procedure doesnt
"go" ordinarily except on so-callet
local or curative measures to which
there is no opposition.
! There will be more of the same
this week, although the senate hast

motion to advance.any bill under sus.
pension of rules. This was done to
prevent putting over" bills harbor-
ing the festive woodchuck.
The house has special committee
to pass on loctI bills and will have a

on bills of this kind, recommended
by the committee. Without some such
arrangement many bills of benefit
to certain communities would be lost
in the shuttle of the final days of the

Conserving Our Peat Fuel

Underlying millions of acres in
Minnesota is substance known as
peat. In many places in Europe
peat has been used extensively for
ages ais a fuel. 1t is now coming
into its own in Minnesota inIasmuch
as sevehal factories are now in OPP
Grafton making it into blocks or
briqmetts. The manufacture of peat
into fuel briquetts is still largely in
the experiment stage. 1t can be
manufactured and sold at price
said to be lower than coal prices, but
manufacturers expect to bring the
price even lower. Peat can be used
for anything that anthracite coal
can be used for. 1t will make coke,
tar, gas or any by-product that can
be made from coal It's heating
qualities are equal to the best an
thracite coal. 1t is an exceptionally
clean fuel and can be handled by the
hands or rubbed against the clothes
without soiling either
Millions of tons of peat have been
burned in recent years. Millions of
tons can be saved in the years to
come if our citizens are careful with
fire. Any low ground or bog is liable
to contain peat and citizens should
be areful about letting fires get
near land that might contain this
valuable product. Before long peat
will be as. valuable to Minnesota as
the coal mines of some other states
are. Protect it against fire.
The Reason For Conservation
Wuld you give orders that ait the
time of your death your home and
property should be destroyed, No,
you would want your children to
have aIl the things that you might
be able to leave them and more if
possible. You would like to leave
them a veritable paradise, where
they might live in greater comfort
than you were ever able to afford.
Much of the pleasure that our
children will get out of life depends
on what we do now. The Fairgrounds
of the future will be what we build
today. The fishing of the future will
be just what we want it to be- Our
forests will be just what we make
them. We can reforest and develop
cur timber resources or we can waste
them and let our children worry
about replacing them.
Conservation is one of the most
vital subjects before the people of

much discussion. We found that

tendency is toward a more liberal
supply of clothing. In homes where

strength. Two or three rinses will
be necessary.
With the extractor type of ma
chine, rinsing may be made a diff
ferent problem. A hose and spray
may be used, directing a spray of
clear water against the clothes
as they revolve in the spinner
| basket. Before starting the spray,
part of the wash water in the tub
must be pumped out or drawn off,
so that the additional water of the
rinse will not rise higher than the
spinner basket. Two full minutes
of rinsing are usually sufficient,
but the clothes may be sprayed long
enough to please even the most
fastidious. We are frequently asked
If this method of rinsing Is ade-
quate, and we are glad to say de.
cidedly yes. 1t is a favorite method
at the institute when using this
type of machine. If you wish to
blue clothes with this method, the
bluing will have to be added to the
soap wash. After the rinsing, the
clothes are extracted for a minute
or two and are then ready to be
hung. This may be done while the
second load is washing, and the
rinse water which is in the tub
may be used for the next wash
water.

information on all problems encoun-
tered in laundering. This bulletin

If you follow the washing
methods outlined here. you should
have no difficulty with clothes not
coming clean. The soil which
comes in the crease of cuffs and
collars Is sometimes stubborn, and
1t is a wise plan to place the cuffs
and collars on a flat surface and
scrub them with a brush and soap
and water before putting the clothes
into the water.
As for boiling-we never boil.
Boiling clothing is an arduous task
and is not compensated for in anv
way. Furthermore, it sets stains
instead OF removing them. Remem-
Der that your ironing temperatures
are from $50 degrees F. to $50 de-
grees F., much higher than boiling

difficulty in not getting clothes
