from Bjorn Bjornson, former direc-
tor of the Norwegian National Theater

accepted the invitation of the Sons of
Norway order, to tour the United
States some time during the spring.
Mr. Bjornson is the oldest son of the
late Norwegian poet, the world fa-
nous Bjornstjerne Bjernson, and has
for more than a generation been
known in Scandinavia and Germany

stage managers of his time. Last

DOINGS or The
LEGISLATURE
Minnesota House Adopts
Resolution to Open SEES
sions with Singing; Big
Three Budget Slashes
University's Request.
BY Martin w. Odland.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 29.-"Where-
as. it is believed that an occasional
song would be pleasing and interest
ing and helpful to this body; now
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Minnesota house
of representatives that we request
our chaplain, Dr. Frank Doran, to
select a few well-known patariotic
and devotional songs and have them
printed, so that each member may
have a copy; and be it.
Further resolved, that such songs.
when adopted. be used as the occasion
may arise at the opening of the ses-
sion"
When the Minnesota house of rep
olution, Tuesday, January 22nd. it per-
formed it's first notable act of the
present session and created an in
spring precedent for the more digni-
fled, more solemn, but perhaps more
prosaic and worldly-minded senate.
The author of the historic resolution
is Representative o. H. Dahl of Lyle.
So there will be both prayer and
song, as well as oratory, in the cap
ital this winter, and if the laws en-
acted under such benign influences
are not good laws, helpful, uplifting,
and progressive. the people of Min
nesOta will have reason to be keenly
disappointed.
Neither branch of the legislature
adjourned over the weekend on
Thursday. Each body held short
session, Friday, and then left for
Fort Smelling. in response to an in
vitation from the commandment and
other officers.
As yet, the reporters who are COW
ering this session of the Legislature
can't devote much space to what has
been done but must resort to specu-
lation and predictions as to what will
take place later, in their efforts to
make copy for their papers.
The Budget And The University.
The biennial budget of the Big
Three made its appearance in printed
form a few days ago. one copy being
placed on every lawmakers desk. It's
formidable document, almost as huge
as Websters unabridged, and I'm in
clined to believe that the lawmakers
are no more apt to go through it from
cover to cover than they are to read
Webster's immortal work.
| In letter accompanying the bud
get, Commissioner A. ]. Peterson in
forms the lawmakers that because
proper care of the states unfortunates
| was the first consideration of the Big
Three in drafting the new budget
they propose to hold down educational
expenditures as much as possible.
Hence the UNIVERSITIES request for
100000 per year for new buildings
during the next decade is disallowed.
There is no immediate necessity
for authorization of another cOmpre-
hensive building program" says the
letter in question.
| But that isn't all. As the University
has been able to divert part of its
maintenance appropriation to perma-

some legislators are declining social
invitations, fearful of running against
the society lobby"
Our diplomats must be distressed
these days when the European papers
carry accounts of the caustic comments
from American business men as to
foreign influences checking the de-
velopment of the American merchant
marine. Interest has Jagged on this
subject for some time, but the in
vasion of the British steamship lines
into business considered solely Amer
lean traffic between American and
Cuban ports brought about a change
of sentiment. Meetings have been
held here this week, the President
has heard the views of delegates, and
opinions to the effect that the Amer
lean flag must be kept on the seas
through the merchant marine.
With the tariff discussions before
the House Committee on Ways and
Means reaching fever heat these days,
the real nub of the situation is un-
covered. Who will pay the bill? The
farm groups petition Congress for
marked increases in tariffs which
will check foreign shippers from
bringing cheaper products in COM

statisticians have calculated that
the living costs of the consumer
would be increased considerably if
the tariff was bolstered up a few
more points. The charges that the
industrial and farm groups pursue

consideration for the consumer crops

Washington, January 30.-When Mr..
Hoover passed the word that his va
cation in Florida was all that the
word implied, it changed the plans
of many men and women in political
life. Reservations were cancelled in
many Florida hotels when it was made
clear that the receiving line of Off
cial and unofficial advisers to the
President-elect stopped with the de-
parture of Mr.. Hoover. The Penny
home near Miami is so situated that
unwelcome callers are easily turned
back. There is, however, a type of
publicity and office-seeker that
flOcked to the South in the hopes of
encountering Mr.. Hoover at an i'm
promptu gathering and obtaining a
nod or smile of friendly recognition
which would set them apart from
their less fortunate fellows That an
cient order of II knew him when"
still flourishes to pursue men who
have achieved fame.
Strangely reminiscent of the days
of American neutrality while Euro
pean nations were at war is the flood
of propaganda that is flooding the
Capital City on the question of national
defense through increased naval
strength. The Is cruiser bill now before
the senate is besieged by Hobbies or
organized efforts to obtain votes to
insure either its defeat or passage.
There are certain earnest citizens
who feel that to embark on such a
building program would set the
world aflame with old war hatreds
and break down the peace and under
standings resulting from postwar
conferences. Equally arduous are the
advocates of a greater navy demand
ing reinforcement for the nations

Pine county is rapidly making gains
in her real estate and personal tax
valuation toward the peak year Of
1922, when land and personal property
values were still inflated following
the war, and from which time values
and conditions gradually went into a
slump. Conditions are improving and
values are raising. There is more mon
eys ana credits in the county now than
at any time, and a continuance of
the present outlook is expected at
least through the coming year.
