INSTITUTIONS OF
STATE MUCH
OVERCROWDED
PRISON AND REFORMATORIES
NEED MORE SPACE FOR DOR
MITORIES; LEGISLATURE ASK
ED FOR HELP.

Minnesota now has the greatest
prison population the state has ever
had--so great, in fact, that the three
major institutions are over-crowded,
C. J. Swendsen, chairman of the state
board of control reports.
Corridors, school rooms and hos
pitals in the Saltwater prison, the St.
Cloud and. Shakopee reformatories
are being used to house the prison
ers.
Reduced use of parole and pardon
ing power is partly to account for the
large population. At the same time
convicts are being added in large
numbers regularly.
At the state prison in Saltwater a
total of 1.279 prisoners are now in
custody although only 1,044 cells de-
signed for individual occupancy have
been built. Even year ago, when
1886 prisoners were held in Still
water, the states biggest "hotel" was
over-crowded.
Now seats have been removed in
the school rooms and cots installed,
corridors have been turned into en-
ergency cells, this causing guard hire.
A new wing for the prison has been
asked of the legislature now in ses-
sion and even this may not be enough
when the normal increase during the
next two years has been recorded.

NEW ULM WINS BY A 81 TO 10
COUNT WITH MORTON REGIS
TERING A 20 TO 8 VICTORY.
WINTHROP HERE FRI. EVE.

On Tuesday night, January 25th.
the Redwood Falls high school bas-
ketball team toured to Morton and
returned, but returned without VIC
tory, because victory could not be
had under any circumstances that
night, partly because Morton has a
great little team and mostly because
Morton was intent upon winning at
any cost. The half ended with the
count 10 to 3 with Morton leading.
In the second half the locals seemed
to catch their stride and made three
baskets in row but for some un-
known season the referee saw fit to
call the ball back upon each occasion.
In the entire game Redwood was CIV
en- credit for one field goal, shot
made by Peterson in the second half.
A third game between the two teams
to be played upon the Armory floor
with an outside referee would be the
big sporting event of the season for
this community. Such game would

FARM BUREAU
PROTESTS BANK
GUARANTY BILL
yEIGEL TELLS CONVENTION OF
WAR ON EMBEZZLERS AND
HIGHER CAPITAL REQUIRE
MENTS.

Opposition to state bank guaran-
ty-law and approval of legislation to
increase the minimum capital require
ments for new state banks to $25,000
today were voiced by A. j. Veigel,
state bank commissioner, in an ad-
dress before the annual convention of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau.
Consolidation of banks, unrelenting
war on embezzlers and removal of the
disparity between what farmers re-
ceive for their products and what they
have to pay for their needs, were 9TH
er matters urged by Mr.. Veigel.
"As the legislature is now in ses-
sion," he said, 1--WE suggest new laws
to improve the banking situation and
to help the department in its work.
"We recommend strongly law in
creasing the minimum capital of new
state banks to $4,000. This would
prevent some persons who are not fl
nancially strong, from starting banks.
Any laws which will help to strength
en- the banks, will, of course, be in the
interests of the depositors.
'H we can remove the serious de-
preston in farm values, banking con-
ditions will right themselves. There
has been much discussion of law
guaranteeing deposits. / cannot con-
ceive of such law which would help
banks already closed.
"The program of the state bank
ing department, in part, is as follows:
Minnesota has too many banks,
there being one bank for every 1000
population, while the average for

of schools at Redwood Falls and who
went to Sacramento, Calf, last
spring, has recently been made presi-
dent of the New Woodlake Kiwanis
Club at Fresno, Calf. Over three

Bee states: S. E. Hargis, president
of the local club, accepted the char
ter. and with it the responsibilities
of Kiwanis, he said, chief of which
is the caring for the ''under-privileg-
ed children of the community, those
who with little assistance, help or
advice, might become good and USE
full citizens. He cited as Woodlake's
first contribution to this cause, prior
even to the presentation of the char
ter. the bearing of a share in the ex-
pense of installing = fine radio set for
the children It the Bi-County Tuber-
rulosis Hospital at Springville.

STATE POLICE
BILL TO SOON
REACH SOLONS
STATE CONSTABULARY PROPOS-
ITION READY TO PLACE BE-
FORE LAW MAKERS; NO POW
Err IN STRIKES.

A bill creating a department of
state police and establishing con-
stabulary which would cooperate
with the various counties and NUM-
cipalities in stamping out crime, will
be introduced in the house, it became
known definitely last week.
1t is also understood that COM
panion measure is ready for intro
duction in the senate.
1t had been previously reported
that Representative l.. P. Brophey of
Minneapolis, would sponsor the bill
in the lower body of the legislature,
but he denied the report and stated
that he would not have anything to do
with the proposed act.
1t is not definitely known who will
father" the bill in the house, but it
is expected that numerous co-authors
will give the original introducer their
support.
The proposed act provides for the
appointment of superintendent by
the governor and the creation OF not
less than three and not more than
seven troops, which will be COM
manded by a captain, two lieutenants,
four sergeants, eight corporals. Each
troop would have a personnel of fifty
privates.
However, to meet the objections of
labor, which in past sessions were
instrumental in killing" similar
measures, the constabulary will not
have any power in policing industrial
strikes, except at the command Of the
governor.
The superintendent would be ap-
pointed by the governor at salary
of $4,000 year and could appoint
his assistant at salry of $500 a
year. Appointments of other Off
GERS in the various troops would be
under supervision of the superintend-
ent with approval by the governor.
Salaries would also be established by
the head of the constabulary.
Officers and personnel of the var
ious troops before appointment would
be required to have the same qualifi-
cations as are necessary to admit
tance to the United States forces.
Power of the state body are classified
