LEGISLATIVE LETTER

The Legislature of 1929 has three
weeks left to live. Only ID days more
In which to make laws. On April 20
the legislature will adjourn without
day" and many will say, Happy Day"
This three weeks period is the cres-
cendo of the legislature; period OF
toll and turmoil, final intensive ell
fort to accomplish something worth
while for the state or to bring nome
some bit of bacon.
A few major matters have been dis
posed of in the past thirteen weeks,
but most of the big issues OF the SEES
sion must be settled in the next three
weeks. Road problems are still UNI
solved, a reforeStation policy still
hangs in the balance, not one OF the
five big appropriations bills is yet
agreed upon, conservation Is still in
dispute, the critical delinquency OF
northern counties still confronts us
on the calendar, the biennial battle
of game and fish is yet to be fought,
the business of sticking pins ana
needles into the range towns has been
spiritedly carried on but the coup de
grace has not yet been delivered, the
income tax is undecided, the cigarette
bill hangs in the balance, SharpShoot-
ers deploy against the loan shark out
the battle is not yet joined. After Is
weeks of maneuvering we shall go
to bat" on all these and many other
matters of more or less importance In
the next thIe e weeks. Besides almost
every one of the 1913 members OF the
legislature is burdened and worried
over some local measure. He mus
SNOW ms constituents that he is a
power in st. Paul. He has three
swiftly passing weeks to do it in. He
must sweat and ne must hurry.

The Ore Diggers.
For twenty-five years the legisla-
tues of Minnesota have devoted a
considerable portion of every session
to the iron ore industry. Yet in the
Legislature of 1929 we find the prob
lem is more acute, more threatening
and more uncertain than at any time
since we began.
In 1906 the people of Minnesota
adopted what is known as "the wide
open" tax amendment to the Mime
sofa constitution. From that hour TO
this, the Minnesota legislature has
struggled with and wrangled over the
problem of the taxation of the iron ore
industry. For almost twenty years eff
forts were made to enact a tonnage
law directed at the iron mining in
dustry. The proposal was defeated
again and again. Two bill were pass
ed and were vetoed by two different
governors. Finally the legislature sue
ceeded in 1921 and rejoiced, but in
1929 it is beginning to wonder if it
should not be sorry. It is claimed
that the burden of three super-taxes
imposed by Minnesota legislatures is
driving the industry out of the state;
that claim is disputed, but that some
thing is wrong is indicated by the fact
that those who dispute the claim are
moving to reopen and re-study the
matter thru an interim committee of
the legislature.

Uses of Edueation

Bees Gull their several sweets from
this flower and that blossom, here and
there where they find them, but them
selves afterwards make the honey,
which Is all and purely their own, and
no more thyme and marjoram; so the
several fragments he berrows from
others, he will transform and shuttle
together to compile work that shall
be absolutely his own; that is to say,
his judgment; his instruction, labor,
and study tend to nothing else but to
form that. He is not obliged to dis
cover whence he got the materials that
have assisted him, but only to produce
what he has himself done with them.
