LUNCHEON AT RITZ
Says Hague Has Been Dictat-
ing Democratic Governors
Because Voters Failed to
Come Out to Vote

Caustic criticism Of opposition
by Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, state Democra1 ic leader, to
the pending constitutional amend
ment extending the Governors
term to four years and providing
for biennial sessions of the Legis-
lature has been expressed by q. s.
Senator Walter E. Edge, Repub-
ncan.
Senator Edge spoke before a
luncheon Of Atlantic City and
County Republican leaders arrang-
ed by Senator secretary Robert NJ.
Johnson in the. Ritz-Carlton Hotel
The Governors term now is three
years and the Legislature meets
every year.
Mayor Hague" said Senator
Edge, is quoted as admitting that
ratification of the proposed amend
ment means the defeat of the
Democratic party in New Jersey.
It is our duty to accept his view
point and make his prophecy come
true.
Mayor Hague, in effect admits
he has been debating Democratic

| so far as l could learn through
reading Mr. Hague's Newark
speech he advanced no other argu-
ment for the perpetuation of the
present system than the desirability
of keeping the Democratic party in
control.
mo one can blame him for that,
if he can get away with it. 1t is
frank admission of Mr.. Hague that
if more citizens exercise the
privilege and vote as they do in
Presidential year, no longer Will
he be able to name Democratic
Governors.
Senator Edge said that Governors
are now elected every four years,
simultaneously with the President,
in twenty-three states. In twenty
four states, he said. Governors are
elected every two years.
Personally, l do not feel that
two years is long enough to inaugu-

The proposed amendment, max

Senator Edge also urged that the
other four proposed amendments
should also be supported by the
people of the state irrespective OF
party. They provide for zoning

Bertram w. Whitman, its secretary,
declared yesterday afternoon in an
interview granted The Pleasantyille
Press.
The amendment, which reduced

does not effect Atlantic City, was
agreed on by a committee appoint
ed to draw up such an article, Mr..
Whitman declared.

Whitman declared.
Pleasantyille represented by IL
units at the present time will have
two in the future, one from each
Ward. Instead of having one man
and one woman named to the
county committee from each pre-
cinct, they will, instead, be named
from the wards.
The system in use before the
amendment was adopted gave this
city a3greater representation than
: aIry municipality in Atlantic
county. including Atlantic City
That was because, Mr.. Whitman
explained, as the precincts were
increased, each was given an extra
representation on the county com
mittee.
Starting with four units, the
number increased to ten, and would
continue to increase, Atlantic City,
with a much larger population, did
not extend its ward lines, and
therefore did not increase its repre-
sentation.
With the election of one man and
enc woman from each OF the two
words as members of the Atlantic
County Republican committee, the
amendment also provides that each

to appoint four associate members,

SAVE NINNESOTAS WEALTH
Plant a Tree For 1912

American Forest Week is to be
observed April "a and the American
Tree Association is urging that citi-
zens, wherever possible plant tree
so that the centennial of Arbor Day,
started in 1872 by j. Sterling will
see the greatest celebration ever held
in this country.
The American Tree Association
is organized solely for the purpose
of educating the citizens of the
nation in forestry affairs and among
ether things has distributed a mil
lien books dealing with conservation
and reforestation. Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the organization,
saws that his association aims to
make America a nation of tree
planters and offers to help those who
are attempting practical forestry. d.
Speaking of forestry, Mr.. Pack
says: THE people of this country
must see the vaIues of trees and tree
Planting. After planting individual
trees themselves, they will come to
see the value of town woodlots and
town forests. They will come to see
that, properly handled, they can have
their forests and cut them too.
"We aim to make every tree
planter a member of one big organi-
cation, the object of which is to
plant trees, so that there will be in
the years to come, great intelligent
army of tree planters no will be
able the better to realize and under
stand the great questions having to
do with the care and protection of
one of our greatest natural re-
sources"
In recent years there has been a
tremendous increase in the interest
being shown in forestry by the aver
age citizen. There is now a reali-
zation on the part of the public that
something should be done to perpetu-
ate our forests, and tree societies
are being organized throughout the
country to study the forestry
problem.
The American Tree Association,
which is doing great work as the
leader of these local socities, is there

New Uses For Timber

1t was not many years ago that
only the tall straight pines. TIE best
OF the oak and maple forests and
the tleanest of all types were taken
by the lumberman. Of these only
the butt logs were considered and
fanny feet of perfectly good timbcn'
in the tops were permitted to lie in
the woods and decay or become a
fire menace.
Times have changed and lumber
companies have become less particu-
lar about the kind of timber they ac-
cept. The part of the tops that was
once left lying in the woods is now
utilized for various purposes. To-
day great quantities of timber are
being used in Minnesota for the
manufacture of boxes and crates.
Railroad shims, tie plugs, toothpicks,
matches and various kinds of wooden
handles use up great quantities of
timber and require more employees

forest can be obtained from the parts
of the trees that were wasted a few
years ago and the lower part of the
trunk may still be used for lumber.
1t is significant that while a num-
Der of large sawmills have moved
their operations from Minnesota to
other states in recent years that
few of the small timber products
plants have ceased operations. This
situation exists because the state is
still producing great quantity
timber that while perhaps not suit
able for the best quality lumber can
be used to advantage in making
small woodenware articles.
By proper forestry methods being
practiced it will be possible not only
&c keep all timber consuming plants
in operation in Minnesota, but to
provide enough raw material for
many new plants. 1t is even possible
for Minnesota to regain must of her
lost prestige as a high grade lumber
producing state and through re-
fcrestration to keep big sawmills

St. Paul, April 10, 1927.-Some
rather sharply defined differences OF
opinion between senate and house
ON important bills have arisen IN the
last few days that threaten legisla-
tors with what HerDert Corey calls
mental hemorhages. This Is
dangerous situation, coming on the
eve of the official demise" OF the
1927 Legislature.
Only a week ago it looked as II
the session would end in a veritable
symphony of beautiful harmonies IN
form of scores of near-unanimous
roll-calls on final passage of bills.
But suddenly a lot of legislators de-
veloped more or less acute attacks
of nerves" because OF the hard
grind, and grim discord burst upon
the SC en- with disconcerting pos
sibihties.
For instance up to two or three
days ago it appeared as if the "oll
of compromise" had settled the
troubled waves on the appropriations
sea but not so. Conferences be-
tween the leaders of the two houses
last Friday, Saturday and Sunday
failed to bring about the expected
agreement as to the so-called educa-
tional appropriation bill, principally
involving the troublesome item OF
deficiency school aid. The differ
ence'' here is a mere bagatelle OF
some 100000.
Besides, considerable differences
have arisen between the two bodies
relative to certain crime bills; game
and fish law amendments; the gaso-
line tax constitutional amendment
proposal to divert one-third of the
trunk highway fund to road and
bridge fund; couple of banking
bills; the uniform traffic code; pro-
posals to amend the reorganization
act and as to other matters OF less
Importance.
This means that much pending
lecIslation Of statewide Importance
las been forced into the hectic and
uncertain stage known as confer
cree, "neeessitating the appointment
of three or five conferees on part OF
each body in order to iron out the
differences. This is exactly the same
situation as faced the 1925 legisla-
ture on its final day and night and
caused many good bills to fail OF
ps ssage just because they couldn't
e brought up for roll call.
As these lines are written on Mon
day and as midnight Wednesday
spells ''finis" for the passage of bills,
/ find the situation altogether too
uncertain and too full of possibilities
TO hazard much guesswork
Anyway, it's taken for granted
that practically all Of the readers Of
the Miner are keeping advised
Il rough the daily press of the pro-
gress and final action on measures
l. which they may be particularly
interested.
Next week l hope to be able to
give something like bird view
O. the men, measures and meaning
of the 1927 session, in which the ac-
tin of the final days will necessarily
figure.
Political interest, outside as well
as within the legislature, is just now
centered to a considerable extent in
speculation as = the nature Of the
report to be submitted Wednesday
by the special senate committee in

cl orge of the Schall investigation.
1t is known that there are differ
ences of opinion among the commit
tee members. At least two reports
Ere looked for, a majority ana

raw be more than two reports, al
though every effort will be made to

Sen. johnson strenuously opposed

{. equently, in the course of the hear
ngs, interposed objections to rulings
made by the rest of the committee as
admission of evidence. But this
loes not necessarily mean that he IS

However, the interest taken in the

political leaders is not much con-
cerned with what the committee Will

"Aye, there's the rub" as Hamlet
said.
Some pretend to see in the inves-
tif alton just another "exoneratlon"
of Tom Schall; others see 1t IN
probable reaction against him be-
cause of the now more generally
known character of some of those
closest to him during the 1924 cam
paign; still others seem inclined to
believe, with Sen. K. Solbery, Farm
er-Labor senator from Clarkfield,
that the answer to the whole ques-
ton is nothing"
Anyhow, Magnus Johnson remains
so far strangely silent, apparently
not knowing whether or not the
general reaction will help or hurt his
future political ambitions. They tell
me now that Magnus is looking for
ward with much political interest to
the 1880 senatorial campaign when
h, believes he can stage "a come
back" and beat Tom Schall. Narur-
ally, he won't be candidate in 1928
when Sen. Henrik Sh!pstead comes
I'D for reelection.
Gov. Christensen did the expected
when he vetoed the bill for an in
crease in salaries Ct members o! the
legislature from $1,000 to $1,000
per session.
Yet. when his veto message WAS
read in the house Ito hich it was
directed, inasmuch as the bill origi-
naed there), it was received with an
admixture of applause, boos and
groans.
Even some of those members who
voted against the ---urease were dis
appointed, having secretly hoped the
bill would become a law, although
fearing to vote for it because of the
effect such a vote might have on
Il cir own political futures.
The veto ocassioned a spirit of re-
sentiment on part of quite number
of influential members. Just what
effect this feeling may have on pro-
administration legislation these final
days remains to be seen. 1t may spell
more trouble.

believe that they will never return

that they will become even more
