Here's the plan of the finance COM
mittee majority:
To "lump" the school aid appropri-
| atoms in one sum for each year OF
the coming biennium, including the
entire aid voted by law and the def
cency for the 1923-1924 biennium
which the governor vetoed in 1925
after the legislature a~djourned), and
to include the items for new build
ings at St. Cloud and Moorhead with
the maintenance items.
In both cases then, if the bills are
passed in such a form the governor
will be compelled to either approve
or disapprove of them 'intoto."
If the bills should be delayed in
passage until one of the very last
days of the session and the executive
should veto them, there would be no
school aid provided at all, nor would
there be any money provided with
which to optrate the two teachers
colleges involved.
This situation would come about
because the legislature, in the event
suggested, would have no opportuni-
ty to pass the measures over the veto
provided the necessary two-thirds
members could be mustered for such
a move.
This could mean but one thing, an
extra session.
On the other hand, it is not at all
likely that the house will stand for
the senate program, the governor
being credited with a fair working
majority. at least, for his economy
program in that branch of the legisla-
ture.
In short, a legislative deadlock is
confidently predicted on the appropri-
ations measures. If this can't be
broken by the end of the session,
through the usual "give and take"
conference system, again the only an
swer will be an extra session.
The senate finance committee has
already decided on the appropria-
lions exceeding Gov. Ted's ultima
tum" by something like $4,000, 0O0,
while the house appropriations COM
mittee has virtually agreed upon a
total within the executives last word,
namely. SAC, 600,0 coo, the total of two
years ago.
The political wiseacres declare that
100000 is too big an obstacle to
be overcome through compromise
plus the apparent determination of
the senate "irreconcilables" to fight
to the bitter end.
Both sides declare that they are
not afraid Of the extra session buga-
boo and can't be frightened by that
into retiring from their position.

NEW AUTO PLATES.
REQUIRED APRIL |
USING 1926 TAGS AFTER MARCH
81 is AGAINST LAW-PLATES
SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN,
VISIBLE.

Within a week April l will be here,
and that is the dead line for using
last years automobile licenses. There
are still a number of the 1926 tags
seen on the streets and highways in
and around Ely and If the owners
of these machines have received
their new plates, it behooves them
to see that they are attached to the
front and real of the machines.
The state law requires all motor
vehicle owners to apply fer their ic-
enses before February 15, but per-
mits them to use the old tags ntil
the end of March. Failure to apply
TOR the license before February Is
makes the vehicle owner subject to a
penalty of 25 cents a day for delayed
registration. But using the streets or
highways on or after April l without
a proper tag is declared by law to be
a misdemeanor, with the danger of a
fine or Jail term facing anyone who
is arrested and convicted. The six
week leeway is provided in the law to
give the Secretary of State time to
take care of the rush of applications
which come in just before February
Is, but Mike Holm announces that
this accumulation has all been clear
ed up and that hereafter tags will be
mailed out promptly as applications
come in.
The law gives no standing to
License Applied for' and similar
home made signs that are sometimes
attached to cars. 1t provides that
mo person shall operate Of drive a
motor vehicle on any highway unless
such vehicle shall have been register
ed in accordance with the laws of
this state and shall have the number
plates assigned to it by the registrar
ccnspiciously displayed thereon in
such manner that the view thereof
shall not be INSTRUCTED" Persons who
have in good faith made application
for a license and not received it,
may take a chance and "get by" for
a day or two if they stay in the COM
munity where they are well known
but it is not safe to go very far away
from home without real license
Plates.
Under the law quoted above, lie
ense plates should be placed so that
they are not wholly or partly cover
ed by radiator covors, bumpers,
trunks or anything else which may
be permanently or temporarily at
tached to the machine. The law also
requires that they shall be fastened
so that they do not swing, and that
they shall at all times be kept clean
and free of grease, dust or dirt so
that the lettering is plainly visible at
all times.

Laws may also be looked for to
make harder the way of t-ransgressors
in other respects, namely, in provid-

men, restricting the sale and use of
firearms and speeding up court pro-

Gov. Ted's attitude of "treat 'em

the legislature, bids fair to bel trans

just that way for the criminal ele-

many years and met with good sue
cess. Besides giving the children an
opportunity for joining together for
q happy day of play and fun, it teach

County Club Women
May Haze Candidate

Redwood County Club women are
hopeful that Mrs. A. H. Emerson Of
Lamberton will consent to become q
candidate for president of the Second
District Federation of Women's Clubs.
Friends of Mrs. Emerson are planning
to submit her name for endorsement
at the Redwood County rally held
here next Saturday, trusting that fol-
lowing such endorsement Mrs. Ener-
sen will consent to let her name be
used as a candidate at the New Ulm
meeting next week. Mrs. Emerson is
at present the president of the Red
wood County Federation and the Sec
rotary Of the Second District Fedora
ton. Her qualities of leadership are
many and she is admirably fitted for
the Office of president of the Second
District which is one of the strong
est club districts in the state. Red
wood County has not sought this of
flee before and leading club women
are of the opinion that this recogni-
ton should be given the county. What
Mrs. Enersen's reaction to the re-
quest of the club women may be Is en-
tirely problematicaL She has many
interests and many demands upon her
time and to accept the Office would be
. sacrifiee Of much time - veil -
Tie expenditure Of much enerey.

TON OF THE MOVIES FOR
CLASS PRESENTATION EARLY
NEXT MONTH.

May 18th is the date chosen by the
Senior Class of the Redwood Falls
high school for their class play and
Merton of the Movies" is the play
to be presented. This is one of the
most widely popular of the modern
plays and is four act comedy by
George Kaufman and Marc Connolly.
1t was produced the first time at the
Cort Theatre in New York in 1922
and has only very recently been made
available for amateur production.
Miss Atcherson is coaching the cast
of twenty young people who will put
on this play. The play is especially
adapted to a young cast since it is
a stirring story of American youth
as well as an interesting commentary
on motion pictures and an Intensely
human study of character. The New
York Times says of it,s"By N Odds
the most a1nzing show. -

With a liberal exercise of the ex.
ecutive veto, Governor Christensen
Monday night pared down the ap.
preparations of the forty-fifth Min.
nesota Legislature to $40,629, 834.2s
This is $14,41893 less than the
amount he approved two years ago
and puts into effect the economy pro-
gram for which he struggled through
out the entire session of the assem-
bly, which adjourned Thursday.
He went through the five mair
appropriation bills, which the Legis.
lature sent to him carrying $42,145,.
278.38 for maintenance and expansion
of state institutions, and by selec-
tive process vetoed a number of sim
gle items which provided mainly fol
expansion he considered ill-advised
at this time.
Prior to attacking the appropria-
ton bills, the Governor appointed in
term committees to study state prob
lens for the guidance of the 1928
session.
These included a joint Legislative
committee to study reforestation and
another to study banking laws. House
interim committees to investigate loan
shark legislation and local problems
arising from public indebtedness also
were approved.
Cuts ranged from items of 500 to
100000. Signing of the fishing Ii
cense bill, which is expected to bring
in more than 5000, 900, resulted in the
trimming of fish and game depart

League of America will sponsor the
first of series of crow hunts. Plans
are being made to make this hunt
worth while and to get every sports
man in the community to participate
Membership in the Izaak Walton
League is not necessary for the
sportsman to take part in the crow
hunt. The hunt is being sponsored by
the League to rid the community, in
part at least, of one of the worst
enemies with which the game bird
has to contend. 1t is especially i'm
portant that as many crows be killed
as possible because of the nesting
season Of the prairie chicken and
pheasant which will soon be at hand.
During this season great damage is
done to the nests and eggs of the
game birds by the crows.
1t is the plan of the League to have
two teams under captains and to make
the hunt a two-day affair so that as
many sportsmen as possible will be
able to get away for at least one day.
The losing team is to give the winners
a banquet sometime after the hunt.
Three prizes will be awarded to the
individuals bringing in the greatest
number of crows. The first prize to
be offered will be a Model 1897 VIM
chester Repeating shot gun. For the
second number of birds killed by an
individual, fishing rod will be CIV
