 Because of it's restricted agenda the special session launched today may fail to furnish a conclusive an sWer. but even with the activities Of the legislators limited largely tc farm relief and tariff revision some interesting possibilities present them selves.
 Friends Of the president anticipate that. he will have little difficulty with his supporters: because there is far better than a safe party ma jority. and because the rules can be invoked to expedite legislation.
 Quite different situation is pre- sented in the senate. however. for the republican majority there is largely paper one. with a number

 In the view of most political ob- servers, one of the big question marks is Senator Borah Of Idaho, chairman of the foreign relations committee, even q more outstanding figure in congress than heretofore, now that Charles Curtis has been elevated to the vice presidency and Jim" Reed, Of Missouri. has retired to his Kansas City law office
 The Idaho senator was one of the first of the big party leaders to throw his support 10 Hoover at Kan sas City. He campaigned vigorously for him through the farm belt and generally is credited with having had weiehty voice in the counsel which led MI.

 But Senator Borah differs with the chief executive on several mat tors of foreign policy, and in just as likely to differ with him in domestic issues. as he is an independent in Legislative matters and never sup legislative matters and never sup bears inc label of his party.
 Three Real Foes
 At the outset, the president finds three formidable foes within his party fold in the senate-Norris Of Nebraska, who "spouscd the cause of Alfred F. smith. the democratic presidential candidate. and La Fol lette and Blaine Of Wisconsin, who Were openly hostile 10 Hoover in the campaign.

The sudden ending of controversy
over the Kellog Peace Treaty provided
puzzle to the Senators who antici-

remaining controversial feature of

bill.
If the Senate follows the precedent
established in the matter of the treaty
and an early vote is taken on the
cruiser bill many legislators will find
themselves in an embarrassing posi-
ton. In an effort to procrastinate on
the Senate and House have passed the
word to their constituents who are
interested in various matters that the
treaty and cruiser bill would block
of other legislation.
Therefore, they will find themselves
in an inGefensible position if they re-
fuse votes on pending bills in event

the maintenance of the Federal Gov
ernment for the next fiscal year will
undoubtedly receive full attention

There is considerable dispute over

the date for the special session. One
powerful group is endeavoring to con-
vince President-elect Hoover that the
session should be called in the fall,
which they consider ideal politically

fenced legislators realize the folly of
attempting to maintain quorum dur
ing July and August when the climate
of the Capital City is notoriously at
its worst.
One of the problems with regard to
a special session is to devise methods
for keeping Congress actively engaged
on the special program for which it
is called--farm relief and tariff re-
vision. Some of the strategists at the
Capital have suggested that the Senate
and House should not organize COM
pletely when it convenes for a special
session. The idea is to appoint the
Committee on Ways and Means in the
House and the Senate Finance Com
mittee for the consideration of the
tariff and at the same time appoint
the Committee of Agriculture in the
Senate and House to devise a farm
relief program. 1t would also be

START SLOW

Forestry Program Pre-

(By Martin w. Odland)
Special to the American.

will play anywhere, it seems. At
any rate, the Minnesota legislature

Thursday to Monday night at 8 o'clock.
when it was in session for only
short time. Very likely, it would have
adjouned till this morning-Tuesday-
but for the state constitution, which
provides that the lawmakers can't
skip more than two days, exclusive
of legal holidays.
AS result of this dilly-dallying
the Legislators will have to work
overtime, under high pressure, dur
ing the closing days of the session
which means that bills will be voted
up or down without adequate con-
sideration; that ill-digested laws will
be put on the statute books, and many
things left undone that should have
been done.
Every Legislature acts this way 1t
seems to be a habit that can't be
broken, in spite of good resolutions
adopted when the sessions draw near
the end.
About 200 bills have already been
introduced in the two houses Over
half of these are so-called local bills"
and curative acts" of no interest to
the people at large. Perhaps the
most important measures so far pre-
sented are IL bills prepared by the
representatives appointed two years
ago TO study the question of refores-
tation in Northern Minnesota. These
bills set out a very comprehensive
program and are worthy of the most
serious consideration of the legisla-
ture. One of them provides for a thor
ough survey of the forest area and re-
concentrations as to the best use to
be made of state-Owned lands in that
region. Another provides for refund
ing drainage fbOnds in the sum of
S3,000,000, while a third imposes
special tax for financing plan for
reforestation.

that most. if not all, of them will

the Legislative leaders and the COVER

Talking about the governor, let me
say here that he has undoubtedly won
his fight against the proposed $2O.-
100000 highway bond issue. The
highway construction plan he pre-
sented in his message seems to meet
with the approval of almost the entire
membership of the legislature, regard
less of the past attitude of the men,
bers toward the governor personally
and the opinions they may have ex-
pressed on the highway question.

The cause for the delay in ordering
licenses may be laid to the fact that
some people might think since the

will be extended or perhaps some are
looking for legislation from that body.
which will effect a reduction in the
rate. This is not likely to be done
since the demand for more road funds
to meet the ever increasing traffic is
becoming acute.
Extension of the time limit is not
probable in view of the fact that there
was already an extension in 1923. and
during the following two sessions, the
extension question was refused a place
on the statutes.
The last day for making application
without paying penalty is Feb. Is, but
those who wait until the last week
usually have long waiting standing
in line. If the application is made by
mail, and the amount of money en-
closed is too small, or if the appli-
cation is not complete, this gives rise
to correspondence which may run be-
yond Feb. 15.-and pile up penalties.
In towns where the Secretary of
State has no deputies, banks and ga
RACES generally have application
blanks.
