can be done for the peeve that the
senate has got against the economy
and efficiency commission.
An interim committee to tax the
banks.
An interim committee to tighten the
burden of local taxation.
An interim committee to revise the
laws. (Why a legislatureO.
An interim committee to fix things
for the soldiers.
An interim committee to ascertain II
the ten million dollars worth OF farm
lands that the rural credits board has
foreclosed on is worth anything.
We would suggest just one more in
term committee and this one to as
certain why it is that after an interim
committee has worked out fine re-
port in which everything has been
set forth clearly and nderstandingly,
the legislature at once gets busy at
the next session and tears 1t to shreds
in fact, mutilates this otherwise
satisfactory report to such an extent
that even it's daddies and mammies
fail to recognize their offspring
A special session of Congress open
ed Monday for the express purpose
of furnishing relief to the farmer.
This was promised in the campaign by
President Hoover and he expects the
program to follow closely on the rec
concentrations made before election
All members of Congress are in ac-
cord with the farm relief program and
will do all in their power to expedite
matters. 1t is expected that the tariff
will not be tinkered with only insofar
as it relates to the duy on farm pro-
ducts in line with the relief plan.
The newly appointed Probate Judge
VIM j. Archer took over the Office on
Monday. Judge Archer made no
changes in the personel of the office
and has reappointed Sheldon Watts
as clerk and all the balance of the
staff. The many who have occasion
to do business with the office are
pleased over the appointment of Mr..
Watts. He is a painStaking official
and one who takes his duties to the
court and the patrons seriously with
benefit to all concerned.
Now that the base ball season has
started we expect to see something In
the papers besides such trivial affairs
as congress or legislative doingS;
news about noted persons and world
events; fish catches in this Arrow
head section of real fishing country,
and find such highly instructive items
as Babe Ruth clouts out homer"
and Lou Gehrig pasteS the pill for
three places in the diamond"
Ten carloads of Majestic radio sets
were received in Minneapolis last
week by the northwest distributors
says Jim Laing, local agent for the
Majestic. The ten carloads made up
an entire train load and comprised
the largest shipment of radios ever
made to one address.
Before you can own an automobile
in Germany, you must pass an exam
ination. The fee for the examination
is Sc, but before you can take it, you
must take course of instruction
costing $50, according to letter from
Martin county man visiting in
Germany; published in the Fairmont
Sentinel. Next comes the license for
the car itself, which is about 500
for a light six, and more for larger
cars. Cars. therefore are not numer-
Gus, but motorcycles are used to
large extent That's OK with us.
Who wants to go over there to own
car anyway?
Now that Governor Christianson has
signed the per capita limitation meas
ure and the cash basis bill, we sincere
ly hope that the biennial squabble be-
tween the range towns, the mining
concerns and the balance of the state
will subside for all time to come Ac-
cording to the Twin City papers all the
ills of the state are due to the build
ing of school houses in the range towns
and they have spent fortunes in ink
and paper telling the wide, wide world
what was what and who was who
Their panacea for regulation was to
cut the mining towns off the list for
improvements and give the tax money
to the balance of the state to add to
the millions we have already donated
to the trust funds. One of the state
ills they forgot to mention was the al
dermanic graft in Minneapolis and the
commission in st. Paul. The Twin
City press looked through the telescope
and could only see range school houses
and extravaganza on the part Of
range towns.
