CURL-VETERINARIAN
LOCATES AT HINCKLEY
State Live Stock Sanitary Beard
Finds it Advisable to Locate
Government Man i'm County for
T. b. Testing.
BY W. F. Hammargren, County Agent

T. B. testing has been promoted by
the County Extension Service during
the last four years to such an extent
that the Live Stock Sanitary Board
has found it advisable to locate a
Government Veterinarian permanently
in this county. DR.. G. M. Curl, who
has been located at Austin for the last
seven years, arrived at Hinckley on
Monday, April 18th. He will move
his family here from Austin as soon
as school is out. With practically
fifty per cent of all the herds tested
in this county and with large per-
centage of these herds tested on the
accredited list, Pine county will have
an opportunity of having large per
cent of herds tested at the time that
the farmers see fit to have the county
accredited. Pine county welcomes DR..
Curl and family and hope that they
will enjoy their stay here. Anyone
having cows to test, should put in
their application at once. This can
be done by writing to the County
Agents office at Hinckley, Mimi, for
agreements.

al exploiters claim. Official Wash
ington is fully acquainted with the
varieties of farmer agents, the real
soil tillers and those whose activities
have been described in Congress as
blowing up an down Pennsylvania
Avenue, meaning the political paths
of the capitol.
If you have ever visited this city
the first eye-sore you noted was the
unsightly appearance of the buildings
around the Capitol. After years of
talking, it appears that the original
plans of George Washington and his
associates, Major L'Enfant, the French
engineer, will be fulfilled. Appraisers
have been named for the condemna-
tion of land required for the Federal
buildings which will replace the
shacks along the Avenue of the
Presidents"s Already appropriations
have been made for the buildings,
costing fifty millions in which to
house governmental activities.
Little attention is devoted to the
soft coal strike. However, the recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court against organized labors in the
construction field has created wide
spread discussion here. Opinion var
les as to the effect on union activities
but it is freely predicted that the
Congressional debate next winter
With a Presidential campaign in the
offing, the question of legislation and
organized labor is of great impor-
lance. The highest tribunal has
ruled against the boycott of non-union
goods. 1t will be remembered that
proposals for restriction of unionism
is followed by demands for strength
ening the antitrust laws. Both sub
jects are dangerous for political par
ties, and reports of committees are
noted for their generous vagueness.
With examinations ordered by the
Grill Service Commission for Federal
icAssand with thousands of applicants
for handful of vacancies, legislators
in their home districts are under pres
ure. The patronage business has
been restricted and the problem is
sometimes embarrassing to the cong
ressman who wants to please every
body and earn their good will at the
polls. Their form letters of acknow-
lodging demands for aid are classified
as &c" or "the bromide. Your
case will be given my careful con-
sideration" 1t is a reply but as you
note, not a definite commitment. A

Minnesota Legislative Letter

senate passed the house bill raising
the pay of the members of the legis-
lature from $1,000 to $500 per ses-
sion, or two-year period. The bill
went to the governor who kept it a
few days and then sent it back with a
courteous veto message. Among other
things, he said
Membership in the legislature, like
service on the jury, is not intended
to furnish income or livelihood. TT
is rather the contribution which
patriotism eXacts as part of the
price of citizenship. 1t is my convic-
ton that no man is so poor that he
cannot afford to serve the state 90
days for $1,000 If his usual earnings
are less he will not complain; if it is
more, he should not, for he can afford
to make the sacrifice.
"a salary increase for members of
the legislature at this time would
probably be misunderstood, especially
if it were made effective during the
present term of those who voted to
support it. 1t might bring severe, al
though undeserved censure on those
whose motives in supporting it were
wholly honorable and unselfish. 1t
might shake the confidence of the
efforts which are being made to hold
down public expenditures. 1t would
furnish an argument to those who are
ever apt to challenge the disinterest-
edness of government
1T is with reluctance that set my
own judgment against that of the leg
islatlve majority who supported this
proposal. But l should not be doing
my full duty to them and | should
not be true to my constitutional obli-
cation if ! did not frankly express my
disapproval"
As the bill had only bare majority
in the house and only two votes to
spare in the senate, no attempt will
be made to repass it over the COVER
nor's veto, and the boys will have to
be satisfied with the same old pay.
1t is probable that before this letter
is published, the governor will have
vetoed another salary-increase bill
one raising the pay of the justices of
the supreme court from $1,000 to
$4,000 per year and the pay of the dis

Washington etter
By MPDaley

Washington, April 2O.-Young
America is inspecting the nations
capital this week. Approximately
fifty thousand high school seniors
are examining the machinery of the
government and taking closeup of
high officials during the Easter vaca-
ton period. Interest in government
affairs has increased to such an ex-
tent that school authorities recon-
mend the annual pilgrimage and al
low proper credits in school work.
Unfortunately the handshaking activ-
tiles of President Coolidge have been
restricted by his medical advisers,
but the voters of tomorrow frequently
catch a glimpse of the first citizen
which is something to write home to
the folks.
Perhaps it is the spring weather
but the holiday spirit prevails in the
official set. The gravity of the for
eign situation is not forgotten nor is
it unduly stressed. Dame Rumor
holds sway at each cabinet meeting
and reports are circulated to the eff
feet that wide differences of opinion
have developed among the Presidents
official family. These tidings which
quickly find their way to the foreign
offices of world powers are promptly
denied in official quarters. Quarrels
within the cabinet room are seldom
revealed to the world because of the
effect on our relations with other ma
tions. 1t is said in well informed
circles here that no action of major
Importance is taken without the con-
sent of the President who usually
calls in his advisers. Whatever dis
cussion develops is kept a family Sc
cret. The first inside knowledge
comes from memoirs of former Cab
met members who generally state
their own view of the situation for a
price.
Just when everybody believed that
the farm legislation was out of the
way, the politicians breathe life into
the subject. Senator McNary, Repub-
lican of Oregon, one of the authors of
the vetoed measure, begins a tour of
the country, ostensibly to ascertain
the views of the farmers. Some I'M
feeling observers have classified the
trip as political scouting excursion.
1t is said that the scout has been
directed to confer with actual farm
operators instead of their self-con-
stituted Legislative spokesman.
In other words, those interested in
farm relief want to know what the
farmer needs from the government
and not what some of their profession

RefOrestatiOn Program, Embodied I'm
Six Bills, Pass Legislature and are
Approved by the Governor.
BY Martin w. Odland.

St. Paul, Mimi, April 19.-The
Schall investigation has been brought
to a close, much to the relief of the
committee and to the people of the
state as whole. 1t is now up to the
committee to prepare a report of their
findings to the state senate What the
findings will be nobody can foretell
but it will make very little difference
what the committee decides. ~ Those
who heard the testimony, or have read
it in the daily papers, have already
drawn their own conclusions, to which
they will cling. in spite of the COM
mittee's findings. If the committee
takes the position that A. N. Jacobs
told the truth, they will report to the
senate that Thomas D. Schall knew
about and countenanced the payment
of money by bootleggers in further
ance of his campaign. If, on the
other hand, the committee put faith in
the many who testified that Senator
Schall was in ignorance of Jacobs re-
ceipt of money from the bootleggers
tiles were of such a serious character,
they will, no doubt, let the senator
down easy or even give him a clean
bill of health.
But one thing is certain, as we said
last week, the investigation will do
Senator Schall no good politically. for
the people of the state will draw the
conclusion that the company he kept
in 1924 and before was not the kind
they approve of.
AS we predicted last week, the state

TRUCK OWNERS GAIN
BY TWO NEW LAWS
Class "X" Vehicles Defined and
Rate is Reduced.-Reciprocity
Act Adopted.

Two bills of interest to automobile
owners, particularly truck owners,
have passed the legislature One of
these defines "T'', "X" and "Y" clas-
sifications so that the latter hereafter
will include only trucks and trailers
used in the business of transporting
goods for compensation as common
carriers over any public highways in
this state between fixed termini or
over a regular route" These trucks
will continue to pay a tax of 10 per
cent of the base value.
Glass GU trucks will continue to
pay a tax of "a per cent of the base
value, but the law is amended so that
they may carry all farm products
to market and any necessary farm
supplies on the return trip. The right
to do this was not clearly stated in
the old law.
All trucks not coming under the
''T'' and "Y" classes will require
tx" licenses, and the rate on these
is reduced from to ga per cent. The
new law, however, does not take effect
until Jan. 1, 1928.
This law will end the confusion
which existed regarding "X" and "Y'
licenses but it will mean an annual
loss of income of a half million dol
ars to the State Highway department
The other law is the reciprocity
act for vehicles in interstate traffic
Under the old law any truck or COM
mercial passenger car crossing the
state line had to be licensed in two
states. Under the new law any person
living in a township, city or village
within 25 miles of the Minnesota line
may for 81 get permit from the
Secretary of State which will allow
him to operate his machine in any
township, city or village in >Minnesots
within % miles of the border. The
law will apply only to states and coun.
tries extending similar privileges tt
citizens of Minnesota.
This law does not change the pres
ent exemption to visiting passenger
cars not used for hire. Such cars
if licensed in other states, may use
the highways anywhere in Minnesota
for ten days without permit and six,
ty days if they get a visitors permit
from the Secretary of State.

The fire siren sounded Sunday af-

in Deming's hardware store. Mr..
Deming entered the store but could
not locate the fire so turned in the
alarm fearing that the fire might be
between the walls near the shelves
where the ammunition was stored.
The fire department arrived promptly
and found that the smoke was coming
from the furnace in the barber shop
in the adjoining building. No damage
was done.

MANY WILL SEE THE
FREBERG-HILL MATCH.
Bylund-SampsOn Contest is Also
of the TOp-Notch Variety.-At
AskOv Saturday, April %.

Word comes from Hinckley that
big delegation of wrestling fans will
be up from there Saturday evening to
see the Freberg-Hill and Bylund-
Sampson card at Askov which is ar
ranged by the American Legion. Re-
ports are also to the effect that Pine
City, Sandstone, Moose Lake, Bruno,
Willow River, Kerrick and other
towns will send delegations to see
this top-notch wrestling, show.
Rains the first of the week made
things look little gloomy, some fear
being held out that the roads might
not be in condition, but the rain only
helped to condition the road, draw
ing out the frost and packing it. Cars
were running between Sandstone and
Askov yesterday "wednesday and if
the weather remains dry till Saturday
the roads will be in excellent shape
and it will be dusty. The condition
of the roads made the sale of re-
served seats little slow at first, but
Conrad Christensen, the baker who is
in charge of the ticket sale, is now
handing out paste boards faster again.
Seats may be reserved by telephone,
or by writing Mr.. christensen.
The big Swede, John Freberg, hard
ly needs any introduction to followers
of the mat game, as he is constantly
in the limelight, meeting the best men
in the game. Geo. Hill, the Texas
cowboy, who will be Freberg's oppo-
nent, has met and defeated most of
the best wrestlers in his class, men
like Zbysko, Stranger Lewis, Stecher,
Pesek, Linow, Taylor, and others. In
all his matches in Minneapolis he has
been defeated by only Freberg and
Linow, but only after some real tuss-
les. Freberg is the undisputed Swe-
dish heavyweight champion, is 35
years old and has wrestled for II
years. He is considered the strongest
man in the game today and has met
all the best men. He comes to Askov
from New York City where he has
been wrestling of late
Johnny Sampson of Portland, Ore
gon, who weighs 165 pounds and is
to meet Bobby Bylund Saturday night,
has met Johnny Meyers, the middle
weight champion, twice. Last time
they wrestled two hours and forty
minutes to a draw, which put Samp-
son on record as one of the leading
middleweights in the country Bylund
has also wrestled Meyers and every
leading middleweight in the game.
He won the olympic championship
in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1912 in the
Greceo-Roman style of wrestling. By
lund served in the 165th Infantry,
Rainbow division during the World
War. Was wounded three times, cited
for bravery twice, received the D. S.
G. and the French war cross, Croix
de Guerre. He won in the welter-
weight division at big tournament
in Paris.
Efforts are being made by the
Legion post at Askov to get either
l. M. Plumb, light heavyweight
wrestler, who has appeared here in
action several times, or the veteran
heavyweight wrestler, Chris Person
of Duluth, as referee for this big
match Saturday night.
The first match starts at $3.50 and
many fans are eagerly waiting for
the bell to call the combatants to-
gether for a great exhibition of skill
and strength.
