During the last session of the Min

commission was created to investigate
the reforestation problem and to re-
commend ways to improve the situa-
ton which is confronting Minnesota
and which presents grave prospects
for the future if something is not done
in its behalf. The commission, consist
ing of five members of the House,
five members of the Senate and one
person appointed by the governor to-
gether with the president of the Sen
| ate and speaker of the House and an
employed secretary, includes the fol-
lowing:

This commission accompanied by
Grover M. Comet, commissioner of

ment in Yale University, made a tour
of investigation of the forest area

Hearings were held at various places
in the forest area and ranger head

ious areas. In May, 1928, the COM
mission held hearings at Madison,

Massachusetts,, and Albany, New York.
The commission also made a special
investigation of state forests, nurser-
les and private plantations in Mas

Based on the information obtained
by the commission at hearings and
from observations and studies made,
the following recommendation were
drafted and submitted to the 1929
Legislatures:
State Forests.
Delinquent tax lands suitable for
forestry, game refuge and recreational
purposes should revert to the public
domain.
State lands classified as forest
lands should be set aside as forest
reserves.

| coming administration
1t is expected that Mr.. Hoover will
have an adequate background of men
ana affairs provided by the full re-
ports of confidential agents who have
been gathering and sitting informa-
ton during his absence from this
country. The secret messages radioed
to the distinguished traveller were
necessarily skeletonized. and even the
mails which reached him through
special channels were inadequate to
convey a true picture of the situation
as it effected the Hoover program.
There are scores of men and women
who are devoted to Mr.. Hoover per-
sonally, who neither want nor expect
political rewards. 1t is through these
individuals whose loyalty is assured
that the PreSident-elect will check up
on information that may perchance
have a political bias.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means has opened series of hear
ings on the tariff. Representatives
of industrial, agricultural and labor
groups, are now having an opportun-
ity for presenting their ideas on tariff
revision. The hearings will conclude
about Feb. 1, but it is obvious that
the committee will make no effort
to write tariff bill at this session.
1t is understood in all quarters that
the majority of the committee will
take cognizance of the recommends
lions of the President-elect, which
may be given to them in confidence

the fire is not known. The Bracken-
bury home is located miles west of
Beroun.
The barn. which burned belonged to
Jos. A. Hornik residing about a mile
and half north of Beroun on the east
side of the pavement and proved to
be bad loss for him. Besides losing
big new barn, which had been com
pleted and in use only months. Mr..
Hornik lost 9 head of cattle, head
of horses and all of his hay This
loss took all of the stock belonging to
Mr.. Hornik and the property was
only partially covered by insurance.
AS yet no adjustments on either of
the losses has been made, so there
fore no plans have been made toward
rebuilding either of the structures.

GOVERNOR GIVES
MESSAGE TO 1929
LEGISLATURE

Governor Christianson was inaugu-
rated to the office of chief executive
for the third term before a joint
session of the 1929 Minnesota legisla-
ture Tuesday.
In his message to that body he de-
clared himself against the $2O,O00,0 900
road bond issue and voiced an in
tensive continuance of the economy
program which he has carried on
since taking the office of governor.
The governor says that the middle
west must stop the plan of the Mica
ragua canal and must urge and de-
mand construction of the st. Lawrence
Seaway and Improvement of the Mis-
sissippi. He also favors creating ma
chinery to effect the states prohibit
ton laws.
Governor Christianson's address
was by far the longest of any of his
three addresses to the legislature.

Washington Letter
BY " CDaley


Washington, January 9.-The re-
has made the city somewhat of a
psychological laboratory. The pres
ident-elect has kept the world in a
quandry since his election, but now
he finds himself in the crucible of
public opinion. Every statement or
rumor will be subjected to study and
Interpretation by his political friends
and enemies. Those who are called
into conference with him or manage
to elude his secretaries for a private
Interview will find themselves in the
spotlight, particularly during the next
sed in private quarters is that the
pitfalls of politics are such that the
President elect can easily make or
break his public career even before
he takes office on March 4.
The politicians are wondering what
vers character as the result of the
transition from Cabinet post to the
Presidency. The fear is expressed in
some quarters that Mr.. Hoover may
become autOcratic in his efforts to
obtain mastery and independence. On
the other side of the street the story
is to the effect that within the, last
year Mr.. Hoover has manifested un-
mistakable symptoms of becoming po-
liticaly-minded and can justly con-
slider himself a. political strategist.
The fact that Mr.. Hoover plans to
remain in Washington a relatively
short time will ease the pressure on
him by the thousands of office-seek-
ers and legislative leaders seeking to
