AS predicted in last weeks letter the
proponents of the Dunn cigarette tax
bill failed in their efforts of bringing
the measure to vote by making it a
special order, and it will die from neg
lect, like several hundred other bills,
at the end of the session. Apparently,
Mr.. Dunn made a mistake when he
waited so long before bringing his bill
to vote in the house. 1t was one of
the first bills introduced and could
have been brought to a vote in the
house several weeks sooner.
A new law of unusual Importance
and interest was put upon the statute
books of the state when the governor
signed the bill creating the Red Lake
Game reserve. Through its enact
ment the state comes into possession
Of over a million acres of land in the
counties of Beltrami, Koochiching and
Lake of the Woods and will assume
payment of about 100000 in drain
age bonds, which the counties in ques-
ton are unable to meet or refund,
owing to their bankrupt condition. In
the area taken over there is a large
amount of timber, from which it is es-
of of oh
$1,25O,OOO. 1t is expected that refor-
estation will be given a good tryout
up there and that at the same time
the region will develop into hunters
and fishers paradise
Whether it is constitutional or not,
the legislature decided to authorize
the Rural Credit Bureau to pay taxes

lands some of the schools will have
to be closed for lack of money with

feet or so.
The feel" of the lake is about the
same as that when walking over ar
asphalt street on a very warm day
when the material gives just little
under your feet. In places on the
lake the asphalt is harder than in
others and in a spot or two it seems
to be boiling gently.
There are great seams or assures
on the surface, giving the appearance
of monster alligator hide. There Is
water in these ridges that suggest
that the giant may be perspiring.
About 100000 tons of asphalt is
shipped from the lake each year, but
the surface never lowers. Shipments
during the last half century are esti
mated at 100000 tons and the supply
still seems to be inexhaustible.

commentator of Presl-
dent Hoover.

Washington-In line with the recon-
mendations of President Hoover, Sem
ator Nye, Republican, North Dakota,
introduced bills proposing both the re-
peal and postponement of the natio-
nal origins clause Of the immigration
act.
Under existing law, the national
origins provision will become opera
tive July 1. Mr.. Hoover, in issuing
recent proclamation, declared the
clause must go into effect upon that
date, and said It was the duty of
the President to obey the law even
though opposed to It. Later, in his
message to congress, he suggested In
clusion Of this subject In the limited
legislative program for the extra SEES
sion.
Senator Nye resubmitted the bill of
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, Min
nesota, for repeal and his own for post
ponement. Senator Shipstead Is Ill.
Previously, Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Massachusetts,, also had offered a bill
for repeal.
Il is the intention of the foes of
the national origins quota basis to
seek repeal first, and If blocked on
that, to put forward the proposal for
postponement The national origins
provision was included in the 1924 act
but has never gone into effect. It
would restrict immigration to 10000
annually in place Of the 10000 now
entering.
