MERGER PL A n
STILL YELLED

Harley P. Wilson'S secret mer.
ger plan. which the owner of the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany submitted to Chairman John
W. Childress, of the Public Utilities
Commission confidentially last week,
will remain secret for a long time
to come.
This was intimated by Wilson
and his lawyers, William G. McAdoo
and Brice Clagett. yesterday fol-
lowing a conference with Chairman
Childress.
None of the other members of
the commission was in on the con-
ference with the transit officials.
and at its conclusion Wilson and
his associates announced that they
had merely made a courtesy call
on Childress to apologize for any
embarras sment they may have
caused him as a result of the
secrecy surrounding the merger
plan.
Wilson declared that his plan is
not yet ready for public discussion,
and probably would not be for many
weeks.
Following the conference Chill
dress gave out a letter he had re-
ceived FROM Mai. Clayton Emig,
chairman of the public utilities
committee of the Federation Of Citi-
Zens Associations, protesting over
his consideration of secret merger

WORTH $500 PER HEAD

The joy of taxpayers is enlarged by
the legislative proposal that every
normal person in Minnesota between
twenty-one and fifty years old would
be taxed So year. These are the
terms of bill introduced in the Mimi
esota house. The census of 1920
showed that Minnesota had 1,004,O87
persons between twenty-one and fifty
years old. A So head tax would raise
$2,008,174 in the state.
The "head tax bill" is fathered by
Representative August Smith of
Litchfield and M. ]. Rohne of Lon
don. Under terms of the bill the as
SCISSOR would obtain the name of every
physically and mentally normal per-
son in the state and the citizens would
be required to pay So a year. The

resentatives Smith and Rohne would

CURRIE DEMANDS
FORTUNE OF WAIF

A tale of a clipper ship that went
down in the China sea in the late six
ties, with loss of all on board save a
baby, who eventually grew to man.
hood and died in Minnesota with no
known heirs, was related to the state
senate finance committee.
A delegation of citizens from Cur
RE, Mimi, appeared before the COM
mittee to endorse bill providing that
the $500 estate left by the survivor
of the disaster, be turned over to the
town. The identity of the ship that
went down was never learned, the
committee was told, but the crew of
a whaling vessel which ran into pieces
of the wreckage, found the baby, lash
ed to the mast.
The whaler took the infant to Korea
and the tot was left there. When he
was twelve years old he came to the
United States as a cabin boy on a
ship and eventually drifted to Currie,
where he took the name of. William
Hendricks. He lived in Currie for
nearly half century before his death
in 1920. Under the law, his estate
will go to the state of Minnesota it
no heirs appear. Citizens of Currie
want it, however, and plan to erect
a community building in honor OF
Hendricks if their bill is passed by the
legislature. The committee deferred
action.

town, city, village or borough in which
the tax would be levied.
It is gratifying to learn there are
legislators who willingly concede that
the average person is worth So per
head; that the public is worth tax
ing-even though it may not be worth
listening to at times; that its opin-
ions and suggestions are not worthy
of careful thought on the part of
the lawmakers. However, the public
is worth taxing. Out of that idea the
public can gain a certain degree of
satisfaction,

Social Workers to
Meet at SlaytOn

Thirty-five years ago, under the
auspices of the State Board of Char
tiles and Corrections, the Minnesota
State Conference of Social Work came
into being. 1t has grown slowly but
steadily, assuming new duties and re-
sponsibilities, until today it is recog-
nized as strong force in shaping
social policies and planning social
programs. Since 1924, several i'm
portant changes have occurred: the
conference has been held annually on
the Campus of the Agricultural Col
lege in St. Paul; an office for the Sec
rotary has been furnished by the Cen
eral Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Minnesota; and Regional or
District Conferences, sponsored joint
ly by the State Conference of Social
Work, the State Board of Control, and
the General Extension Division of the
University have been held in sections
of the State which have evinced in
terest in matters of social service.
Murray County is to act as host to
all individuals from the surrounding
leTTllOTy WHO are sun lCleIlly HlISl-
ested to make the trip to Slayton, on
May a, 1927. Papers are to be given
on certain definite subjects; oppor-
tunity will be found for the asking
and answering of questions which are
bothersome; and picture will be
drawn of how the problems of your
community link themselves with the
problems of every other community,
how they may be best solved and
what facilities your state has to Of
fer in the solving.
Space does not permit detailed en-
umeration of the many phases of So
cial work which are to be considered,
but the following topic headings
should attract attraction: County AL
lowance, Community Health, Feeble
mindedness, Illegitimacy, Delinquency,
Red Cross Service, the University of
Minnesota.

A PRECEDENT.

A young woman attending the re-
cent New York reception to kerensky
approached him with bouquet of
flowers and a smile, and when he
reached out to take the flowers she
slapped his face five times, doing a
very thorough job of it.
She seems to be happy about it. She
says that Kerensky during his very
brief term of power in Russia issued
an order putting the army under the
command of civilians, and that this
blunder sent her sweetheart to his
death.
Kerensky has gone through a lot
and can easily stand little more
grief. He isn't badly hurt, and the
lady is happy, so that's all right.
But there would be great consterna-
ton among statesmen and brass hats
if that sort of custom got to be a
habit.
If every statesman whose blunders
got his country into war, and every
officer whose ill-judged orders had
caused needless sacrifice of life. were
pursued by all the women who had
been bereaved by their mistakes, this
world would become very much
livelier place than it is now; and it
is, on the whole, a pretty lively place
already.-Duluth Herald.
