FIRE APPARATUS
SPEED STUDIED
Commissioners to Consider
Request for New Rule at
Meeting Tomorrcv.

The question o: changing the regula-
tons relating to the speed of Fire De-
partment apparatus and other vehicles
Is expected to be settled at the semi
weekly meeting of the District Com
misSionerS tomorrow.
The city heads had before them re-
ports from George S. Watson, chief
engineer of the Fire Department; Mai
Edwin B. Hesse. superintendent Of the
Police Department, and Traffic Director
William H. Harland, all recommending
that no changes be made.
At present the departments vehicles
are allowed to break trafic regulations
relating to speed while on their way to
fires. The death of Miss Cecilia King,
who was knocked down by the car Of q
battalion chief speeding to a fire last
month, however. caused the coroner's
jury to recommend drastic changes In
the speed regulations as applied to Fire
Department vehicles.
The Commissioners are expected to
abide by the recommendations of their
department heads and not require any
change, except possibly an amendment
requiring apparatus to observe the speed
laws while returning to their houses
from fires.

 The place once made famous by Teton Jackson, notorious outlaw and horse thieffi and his gang of despera- does, after nearly 60 years, has at last been filmed, and many of their deeds of daring re-enacted on the very ground they once rode as masters.

Farrell Macdonald and Tom Santschi. while the part of the youthful hero is played by virile George O'Brien.- Olive Borden enacts the role of the winsome orphan and protege of the terrorizing three. In addition to these we'll known stars. the cast includes such screen favorites as Lou Tellegen, who plays the gambler; Jay Hunt, who starred in "Lightnin'," in the part of the olde prospector; and Alec B. Francis, star of "Thank You, who plays the pioneer minister.

Details of the proposed new con-
servation department were not fur

ton reading:
The commission recommends that
all of the powers, rights and duties

the department of drainage and Wa
tiers, as well as those of the state audi
tor as to lands, timber and minerals
be vested in a commissioner of con-
servation with necessary directors or
deputies in charge of division of for
eStry, division of drainage and wa
tiers, division of game and fish, and
such other divisions as the commits

Revives Vetoed Measure.
The commission reviveS a measure
passed in 1927 but vetoed by Gov
ernor ChriStianSon providing for the
payment of 5 cents an acre annually
by the state to counties including
state forests. The governor held it was
establishing a dangerous precedent.
The investigation made by the COM
mission indicates that this is a we'll
recognized method of finance employed
by the Federal government and many
of the states and recommends that
the legislature re-enact this bill" the
report says.
Referring to the delinquent tax prob
lem, the report said 1.-The investiga-
ton made by the commission indicates
that taxes in some of the counties in
the forest area are confiScatory. A
large proportion of lands in these
counties is tax delinquent. One of the
contributing factors is large bonded
indebtedness in Beltrami and Lake of
the Woods counties caused by the
judicial ditch bonds issues by the
counties.
"a large proportion of the assess
mentS made against lands for bene-
fits from the construction of such
bitches has not been paid.
The commission recommends the
issue of state certificates of indebted
ness, the proceeds to be used for the
purchase of county bonds as may be
necessary to pay maturing interest
and principal of outstanding ditch
bonds. Such county bonds should bear
interest at the rate of per cent and
should amortize at the rate of per
cent each year."
Budget Control.
1t then continues with this sig
nificant proposal: This financing
should be conditioned on budgeting
control by the state of local finances.
Large areas of peat land, some OF
it unproductive of trees or crops, pre-
sent problem which the commission
| is unable to solve. Peat has many uses
but it cannot be put on CONNER
cial basis in competition with other
cheap available raw material.
Ito give relief to these counties the
state may pay stated amount PEI
acre per year in lieu of taxes on al
state owned lands, and careful con-
sideration should be given the proposal
of establishing game refuge in these
counties"
The refuge referred to was proposed
last Thursday by Beltrami and Lake
of the Woods county officials to the
commission. They suggested that the
state take over a large tract of land
approximately 100000 acres, now
practically uninhabited, and use it for
public shooting grounds. In return
the state would pay up the ditch bonds

INTERIM FOREST COMMISSION
MAKES COMPREHENSIVE REPORT

Complete overhauling of the states
policy in relationship to its timber
resources, calling for the establish
Nment OF a new department OF forestry
and program Tor reviving timber as
an industry, was recommended today
oy the Minnesota reforeStation COM
mission.
ChmaXing two years of study the
commission presented preliminary
report urging the legislature to pro-
vide laws making possible:
establishment OF department OF
conservation under the direction of
one Individual taking over all powers
OF the present department., and III ad-
ditlon The powers and duties OF the
department OF drainage and waters;
those OF the state auditor as to lands,
timber and minerals, and the depart
ment OF game and fish.
Payment by the state of certain
sum per acre annually to counties IN
which state forests are located, in lieu
Of taxes.
Management of state forests on a
forestry basis, expenses to be paid out
of income.
Establishment of state nursery to
provide seed stock for private plant
erS at cost.
Tax Reduction.
Reduction of the tax rates on aux
ihary forests owned privately from
cents per 81 valuation TO nat charge
of 5 cents an acre annually, with the
IRE protection tax OF cents an acre
and the yield tax OF 10 per cent TO
remain as provided by an act of the
1927 legislature.
Funding of ditch bonds of Bel
trami and Lake OF the Woods coun-
JieS-the state TO issue certificates OF
Indebtedness and proceeds used to
purchase new county bonds which
amortize in fifty years. This will not
give permanent relief" the commission
added, continuing: The state must
pay certain amount per acre per
annum on state forest lands in addi-
ton, because much of the tax-delin-
quent land in these counties is neither
forest land nor agricultural land, but
peat bog. Such payment by the state
must be made on all state-owned lands
IN these counties"
Enlargement of the present fire.
lighting organization
Creation of an agency to protect
forests from destructive insects and
diseases.
Enlarged support of the University
OF Minnesota forestry school.
Land Classification.
Classification of both state and pri-
Vate lands for sale before it is sold tC
prevent farm failure and tax delin-
quency, a land economic survey being
considered necessary. "Zoning may be
reSorted to, if necessary, when such
a survey has been made" the report
suggests.
Reverting of delinquent tax lands to
the public domain; setting aside OF
lands classified as forest lands as
state reserves; exchange of state cut.
over lands in order to consolidate state
forest reserves.
Private reforeStation activity on a
large scale will be encouraged if the
tax is reduced, the commission pre-
dicted. The present tax of 8 cents
per dollar valuation actually would
mean "a cents an acre annually as an
average, it found This, it asserted
is far too high, and accounts for the
fact that not single land owner has
accepted the states offer to have areas

agement in actual operation by the
state has been observed. When so
amended the bill meets every reason
able objection made to it and should
be enacted into law in order to carry
into effect the constitutional provi-
sion authorizing state forests and the
management of same on forestry prin-
ciples."
A brief review of the commissions
findings was made in the preliminary
report but will be given in detail in
its final form for presentation to the
1929 legislature in January. This will
include a complete survey of the his
tory of Minnesota's resources and Of
progress made in reforestation
| throughout the world.
In the report made public today
the commission pointed out that re-
forestation is new field and that
carried on artificially it Immediately
| means a great outlay of funds Nat
urally reforestation can only be eff
| fected by adequate fire protection. In
addition, however, there must be some
planting in order to fill out places
| where there is no seed growth and to
stimulate propagation of the more
desirable tree types.
| Should Encourage Planting.
| BY all means, the commission as
serts, the state should interest itself
in promoting the growing of trees by
| private property holders. This should
not be limited to the Northern areas
| of unused lands, but farmers through
out the state should be encouraged to
develop wood lots along scientific
| lines. Farmers now spend large
| amounts for timber annually and the
state imports lumber in tremendous
| quantities
| Stop Minnesota's present system OF
| tree removal now being carried on at
| pace which would mean virtual de-
| mutation of it's forests within ten years
the commission says, and in its place
initiate program through which Min
nesota might not only furnish lumber
| for its own demands, but to meet out
side needs.
| The commission consisted of thir-
teen members headed by Lieutenant
| Governor W. l. Nolan and John A.
johnson, speaker of the house Of rep
resentatives. John Levin, st. Paul is
it's secretary.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-11-16

OF the two countless amounting with
interest to about $2,600,000. In addi-
ton other private lands would be made
part of the refuge, the total to be
about 2,500,000 acres, lying within the
area bordered by Lake of the Woods,
Red Lake and the Big Fork river in
Koochiching county.
Fire Organization.
AN examination of the fire-flght-
ing organization of the state indicates
that it is Efficient" the report said.
THE criticism made of it is that it
is not large enough to handle num-
Der of large fires occurring at once. The
question is solely one of appropriating
necessary funds. The commission rec
ommends that this be DONE"
Because of the large area Of de-
hnquent tax lands in the forest area
which have been abandoned and will
pay not further taxes, the commission
says it recommends that these be
taken back into state ownership. It
suggests that laws be amended SO that
lands bid in for the state at tax sales
shall become the absolute property of
the state within five years instead Of
being held in trust indefinitely for
taxing districts.
When an economic survey of state
lands shows that they are suitable
principally for forestry they should be
withdrawn from sale by the state and
reserved as state forest, the group
urged. 1t further recommends that
| state laws be changed to make pos
sible interchange of lands with the
Federal government and other owners
| to place state forests in large con-
| tiguouS tracts to facilitate efficient
management.
Another Bill Revived.
Another bill passed in 1927 and
vetoed by Governor ChriStianSon was
| revived, providing that expenses of
| forest management shall be paid out
| of the income. AS the law stands to-
| day, all proceeds from land and tim
Der must go directly into the state
trust funds. State Auditor Ray P.
| Chase urged the governors veto on
| the ground that no limit was fixed
| and that there might be abuse.
The commission said of the bill:
1.-The school trust fund has been built
up by taking all value from timber
| lands and making no provision for
| the future on the theory that the
| land would be sold and used for agri-
cultural purposes. This theory has
been disproved. The state still owns
large areas of land unfit or unneces-
sary for agriculture, which will yield
nothing to the school trust funds un-
less properly managed.
| Can Be Limited.
ITO require that the expense of such
management be paid from income is
undoubtedly legal and proper. A limit
can be placed upon the amount of
income which may be expended until
the needs and results Of forest man.
