DO|NCS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
Resolution for Investigation
of Highway Department
introduced in Minnesota
House.-University Bud
get Remains in Spotlight.
BY Martin w. Odland.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 12.-There
seemed to be something wrong at the
capitol all of last week. Perhaps it
was because the governor was at
Washington and the light of his coun-
tenance didn't shine upon the law
makers. The governor is like a tonic.
His beaming face and tall, sturdy
figure radiate cheer and energy as he
mingles with the lawmakers in the
marble corridors or in the capitol
cafe way down in the basement.
Whether his eXcellency picked out,
while at Washington, the seat he is
to occupy in the senate after March
4, 1881, as one Minnesota editor said
he ought to, nobody here seems to
know. One thing is certain-Tom
Schall didn't offer any help.
Perhaps the most interesting episode
last week was flank attack on c. Nj.
Babcock by Representatives Andrew
Finstuen, O. c. Neuman and others
who don't like the highway commits
sioners policies. They sprung a re-
solution, propounding nine questions
to Mr.. Babcock, as follows:
"First-By authority of what pro-
vision of statute does your office
maintain an information or publicity
department?
''Second-How many and what per-
sons are engaged in it?
"Third-What is the cost of the
same to the state of Minnesota?
"FOurth-By what authority is pro-
paganda sent out by your department
to the public press such as is con-
tanned in articles from your office un-
der date of March 2, 1929?
"Fifth-What is your relation, if
any, with the so-called Minnesota
Good Roads association?
'.SiXth-Have you had at any time
an understanding with the Minnesota
Good Roads association or its officers
that you are to assist them in carry
ing on campaign for the S20,0O0,00O
bond issue for trunk highways and
other policies urged by you?
'Seventh-Do you know by whom
the Minnesota Good Roads associa-
ton is financed?
'Eighth-Do you know what connec-
ton, if any, the Minnesota Good Roads
Association has with the Portland Ce-
ment Company?
"Ninth-Does anybody but the state
of Minnesota pay your expenses on
campaign tours in the interest of the
S20,000,00O bond issue and other pro-
pOsals by you in conjunction with the
Minnesota Good Roads association or
its officerS?"
After a heated debate, the resOlu-
tion was rejected by a vote of sc to a.
but Finstuen and Neuman came back
with another resolution calling for an
investigation of the highway depart
ment by a house committee of five.
This will not be acted upon till late
this week, but meanwhile Mr.. Bah
cock has announced that he is per-
fectly willing to be investigated" and
gave to the press a complete list of
answers to the questions which the
Goodhue and Traverse representatives
wanted to ask him. His reply to
question No. s, the most pointed of
them all, was simply these three
small words: Il do not

CHAMPIONSHIP
TO BE SETTLED
Hinckley and Askov H. S.
DebaterS Will Offer Their
Arguments Before a Final
Audience at Hinckley on
Thursday, March 21.

The county high school debating
situation has simmered down to two
teams now as the result of the elimi-
nation contests that have taken place
at intervals. The two remaining
teams in the field are Hinckley and
Askov, and these debaters will meet
in the final battle of words at Hinck-
p. M, for the county championship.
The question being debated this year
by the high schools is Resolved
That the United States Shall Cease to
Protect by Armed Force Domestic
Capital investments in Foreign Lands
Without Formal Declaration of War"
In this debate the Askov team will
uphold the negative, while the Hinck-
ley high will argue for the affirmative.
The ASkOv debating team, coached
by Superintendent V. Justesen. is
composed of Esther Henriksen. Inge-
borg Kilstofte, and Astrid Gravesen.
A team representing Askov placed
in the final contest last year against
Sandstone, who won the county cham
pionship cup, but Sandstone was
eliminated this year in their contest
with Hinckley, which causes the final
resting place of the cup to be either
Askov or Hinckley
Considering the contests that the
two teams have taken part in and the
quality of their arguments, a lively
and interesting debate is looked for

More Or Less True

Life's a funny thing and you'll often find a man who is about as sweet as a boil on the neck gets wife who is as near an angel as it is possible to get this side of heaven.
 A man has an ideal wife if he doesn't think 1t is necessary to buy himself a shot-proof vest when he gives her gun to protect her self from bandits.
 No divorce lawyer need look to him for business if young man can become as necessary to his sweetie's happiness after they are married as her pocket mirror was before they were.
 They still can. cut down fathers trousers to make clothes for son n.y. but if mothers skirts are cut down it's just to enable her to show little more of her silk stockings.
 At that we reckon the shingle bob on the outside of a modern girls head isn't any more different from the crowning glory the old fashioned one used to have on the outside of hers than the knowl- edge she's got on the inside of it is from the kind the oldfashioned girl had on the inside of hers. Brains are fine thing, but wom- an is woman, and it's million dollars to used corn plaster that the one who is liberally supplied with them would gladly exchange them for a pair of shapely pins and face that wouldn't stop the clock every time she looked at it. l Since they have discarded the pads, the bustles, the corsets and the switches they used to keep parked, in them it is natural to | suppose the drawers of woman's dresser now are as crowded as a church on a cold, rainy Sunday.
 If daughter was given hatpin she probably would think it was a cheap kind of icepick, yet it used to make an acceptable gift to give a girl.
 A good deal is said about the old-fashioned home girl, but if g modern young man did happen tC marry one like that he'd probably die of ennui if he tried to keeI step with her.

The Question Marks Records.
(New York Times )

Question Mark is apt name for the three motored Fokker plane equipped with Wright Whirlwind engines in which army officers have been breaking endurance records in Southern California These tests surely important for military purposes.
 There have been five men in the great flying machine, commanded by Major Carl Spatz. With food regularly put board, pilots could be changed. with periods of rest. The contest then came to be between the and the arplane, chiefly the motors. Evidently and tear of the fabric that carries the motors can not be left out of the account, but the greatest strain is the motors. The Wright Whirwind was known to be of the most dependable made but never has so much been asked of an engine in a nonstop flight.
 Before this performance who but forward looking engineer experienced pilot would have thought of matching an arplane against diri- gible airship fer endurance? This is what Major Spatz did. All records for refueling from the air have been beaten, too.
 AS matter of fact, the army planned to remain aloft until motors pilots worn out. Once more aviators of the United States Army have gone to the front with new records, the most remarkable of all There Is something that does not need question mark. It is the ability of American pilots and American motors to keep funetioning long enough time, with fav- bring weather, to make a nonstop flight from the Pacific Coast to Australia and perhaps the Philippines.

District Attorney Cuddy.
(Cordova Times. )


 The appointment yesterday by President Cool idge, of Warren N Cuddy of Valdez, to be United States District Attorney for the Third Division of Alaska, is a fitting recognition of a deserving time resident of the Territory who is in every way qualified to ably discharge the duties of the office to which he has just been named
 MT Cuddy is young, vigorous and industrious, and that he will make good record as District Attorney goes without saying. For years he has been one of the leading citizens of Valdez, prom inent in all civic and social activities. He was first manager of a large mercantile company and when Judge E E. Ritchie was elevated to the bench he selected MT Cuddy as his Clerk of the Court This position he filled with credit to him. self and the satisfaction of the public until w. lD Coppernoll resigned as District Attorney last spring Upon the request of the Department of Justice Judge F.

been diminished through gold exports and heavy absorption in Stock Exchange loans, there is a sufficient amount available for legitimate needs although at higher price.
 According to the Department of Labor em- ployment service the industrial, agricultural and general employment prospects brighter than a year ago It will be recalled that in the early part of 1928 a great deal of unemploy- ment developed there being particularly large numbers of miners and textile workers out of employment. The situation became so acute as to constitute a real problem. Later, the settle ment of the soft coal and textile strikes together with a general speeding up of industrial opera tions measurably helped conditions
 The present situation is singularly free from labor disturbances. There is now fairly full em- ployment at good wages and these are sustain ing factors in purchasing power The 1923 year is expected to witness some new high records or production in certain lines. Some of the leaders in the motor industry are counting on total output of 5000, 900 this year.

The radio has never been used to display finer sportsmanship
 UT course, there has never been rivalry be- tween the two explorers. Captain Wilkins is simply carrying out plans which he made long ago. Moreover, there has been something like an equitable diyiscn of territory between him ana commander Byrd. Different areas will be explored by the two expeditions.
