Senators and House leaders are en-
deavoring to CLEAN a clue as to the
Presidents recommendations for the
next Congress. The speech before
the Union League Club in Philadel-
phia last week covered several fac
tors of his program, such as an in
dorsement to cut taxes amounting to
1925, 000,00O; a greater air force for
the military and naval establish
ments, and the development of COM
mercial aviation. Incidentally, Mr..
Coolidge has indicated that he favors
Federal aid for highway construction
amounting to $75,OOO,OO0 annually
The west and middle west are greatly
interested in the farm relief features
of his measure but he gave no definite
hint in his Philadelphia address.
The form of government for the
Philippines is subject of concern
for the administration. There are
several schools of thought, some adj
vocating supremacy of the civil gov
eminent, others for a military rule,
and still another group for self-gov-
eminent Feeling exists here that the
present administration will not favor
relinquishing American control over
the Philippines for some years. The
politicians are watching with interest
the appointment of a Governor. Gen.
eral for the Philippines to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
General Leonard Wood.
There are four committees of Con-
gress in session prior to the opening
of the session. The House Committee
on Ways and Means is considering
proposals of the Treasury Department
and organized groups of taxpayers as
to reductions in income and corpora
ton tax rates. The special committee
studying flood control has received
recommendations from number of
committees representing the commun-
tiles along the Mississippi river. They
will also give attention to the New
England situation. The House Com
mittee on Accounts has been conduct
ing hearings relative to readjustments
of positions and salaries in the Fed
eral service.
1t now seems that the proposals for
re-apportionment of representation in
Congress based upon the census re-
turns will be put over until the cleo
tions. The enactment of this legis-
lation would change the political
complexion of the House considerably
and provoke controversy. Speaker
Longworth and others are inclined to
pass it up in the absence of popular
demand for reforms. The proposal
to change the date for Congress to
convene in order to eliminate the
Tame ducks" or defeated legislators
from participating in legislative mat
tiers after their rejection at the polls
will probably share the same fate.

LOST HALF YEAR;
WANT AID GETS IT

Last week the American Legion
at Askov inserted a Want AID in
the American for part of their
flag staff which had been lost on
July 4th when several of the Le-
gion boys journeyed to Pine City
to the celebration. The lost ar
ticle had been found by Otto Peder-
sen, north of town, at the time. He
took it along home in his car and
thinking it did not have much
value paid no further attention to
it. When he read the ad last
week it was returned to the Legion
boys. The moral is: Don't give
up the ship"

For the Sedentary.

Says the Spanish adage: Never
stand when you can sit; never sit
when you can lie.'
A college professor, discoursing on
the physical effects of occupational
habits, declared that sedentary work
tends to lessen the endurance.
"In other words" said the smart
student, "the more one sits, the less
one can stand"
Exactly" said the professor; land
if one lies a great deal, ones standing
is completely lost"

PINE CITY HIGH START
BASKETBALL PRACTICE
Thirteen Games Nare Scheduled,
the First With LindstrOm on
Dec. 2.-Other Items From the
County Seat.

The Pine City high school basket
ball team started practice last week
in preparation for the first game of
the season which will be with Lind
strom on Dec. 2. The team was
weakened somewhat by the gradua-
ton of most OF the better men from
last years squad. There are but
four to build on this year, they be-
ing Walter Blanchard, Lynn Buirge,
Dale Therrien, and Don McKusick.
Blanchard is still handicapped from
an injury received in football and
will not be able to take an active
part in basketball until late in the
season. Thirteen games have been
scheduled, two games with each of
the following teams: Lindstrom,
Forest Lake, Rush City, Hinckley,
Sandstone, and Braham, and one
game with the alumni of the high
school to be played during the Christ
mas holidays. Adrian Schweiger, the
coach of last years team will again
have charge of the coaching, and he
will likely have a stiff task in round
ing up team to match with teams
from the other towns on the schedule.

OFFICER UN|F ORM
LAW UNDER FIRE
, OF POLICE HEADS
Chief Johnson and Others
Declare Service Would
Suffer.

Relief from recently enacted law,
which requires all peace officers be
fully uniformed before they can
make an arrest for traffic violations
on State highways, was sought by
members of the Indiana Police
Chiefs Association today. They ad-
dressed letters to Governor Ed Jack
son. Attorney General Arthur Gill
liom and Secretary of State Fred
Schortemeier, on the subject.
Charging that the law as it reads
would render approximately two
thirds of every police department
helpless sixteen hours a day, and will
allow intoxicated drivers, hit and run
drivers, and even killers, to speed
away from the scenes of accidents,
unless a policeman fully uniformed
be near by, Police Chief Claude F.
johnson, declared if relief is not
given, the validity of the law will be
tried through a test case.
Accuses Motor Clubs
1T is fast one put over on us
by the motor clubs" Johnson said.
IT am in accord with their drive
against ruthless arrest of motorists
by horse thief detectives, constables
and others who work out of kanga-
400 courts and who subject the mo-
florists to speed traps and the like"
But this is a law that renders
me, the highest police officer of this
city, helpless to make an arrest I'M
less 1 am in uniform" Johnson said.
Detectives, always in plain clothes,
and especially the automobile de-
tectives, are hit hard. When I say
two.thirds of every police depart
ment, I refer to the men off duty,
who might be driving their personal
cars and witness bad accidents or
traffic violations other than speed
ing" Johnson said.
Center on Two Sections
The police chiefs of the State,
while attending a convention here
Tuesday and Wednesday, discussed
the new law and unanimously voted
TO seek relief and test Of the law.
They are particularly opposed to
sections 1 and of Chapter 109, Acts
of 1927. Section / covers the points
mentioned above and Section 8
reads that the Secretary of State
shall prescribe the type of uniform
to be worn by officers enforcing
traffic laws on State highways, and
that section might even render the
police of the various cities Of the
State helpless even though they be
in uniform.
1T will at least raise the question
Of difference between the city police
uniforms and the State police uni
forms, inasmuch as the State po-
lice uniforms are prescribed by the
secretary of State" Johnson said.

Is Vice No Monster2

A New Jersey correspondent tells
how her father cured her young
brother of smoking. A neighbor one
day telephoned mother that Johnnie
and another boy were smoking in the
street. Mother hustled out and caught
Johnnie redhanded. She turned the
matter over to father. Father didn't
whip the boy, didn't even lose his
temper or seem shocked. He just
talked to Johnny in a friendly way
about the harm of smoking.
Right here l must remark that there
is a pronounced tendency on the TART
of the younger criminals OF the day,
when they're caught and arraigned.
to whmper: oh. please don't whip us.
Talk to us. There's some good in
every boy or girl if you will only ap-
peal to it and be kind. Talk to us.
old timers.
Well, having delivered his lecture
to Johnny on the evils of smoking,
father manfully carried the thing
through by going out and getting two
cigars-father himself was not d
smoker--and insisting upon Johnnie
smoking with him. Well see how
we like it," father remarked grimly.
Here the story peters out. a very
weak end. l call it, Our New Jersey
correspondent finishes lamely, You
probably know the result. Johnnie
stuck gamely as long as father did,
but the after effects-he was very
sick at his stomach.
That's a great disappointment. One
has high hopes that father will cave
in first. Logically father ought to
crumple up and issue an ante-mOrtem
statement or something-that would
probably make some impression on
Johnnie. But if Johnnie was man
enough to stay with his father to the
bitter end, why, there's something for
a Teller to tell his pals.
But there's an epilog still to come:
so YOU see when the forbidden thing
was no longer forbidden it lost some
of it's attractions.
I don't know about that. I can't
see it at all. Wouldn't Johnnie be
just a little curious, now that he had
survived the awful sickness of his first
cigar, to see whether he could con-
sumo another without getting sick at
all?
No, no, it appears that Johnnie was
an entirely different kind of boy. He
went through high school and college
and played in all sports-and never
smoked. Then the war came, and Y.
NJ. c. A. workers with cigarettes. and
when Johnnie came marching home
again he smoked a pack day. But

the fact.
Being engaged to Alma Smith,
Cooper arranged to convey the prop
erty to her. 1t was orally UNDER

she was to hold the house merely
as trustee and to make regular ac-
counting of it's rents and other in

the mortgage, Alma, under the direc-
ton of Cooper, spent part Of the
money improving the house. turning
the balance over to him.
Several years after the couple
married Cooper asked his wife, with
whom he was beginning to have
serious differences, to reconvev the
property to him When she refused,
Cooper filed suit in court, setting out
the facts and asking that he be de-
clared the true owner of the house.
At the trial, Mrs. Cooper denied
the arrangement and her counsel con-
tended in addition that since the trust
involved land the agreement had to
be in writing to be binding.
But Cooper was able to establish
his arrangement with his wife to
the satisfaction of the court, who
granted Cooper the relief he prayed
in accordance with the following
general rule:
