LAME-DUCK BILL
GAINING SUPPORT
Representative Kitchener of
Michigan Predicts Passage
of Norris Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Killing the "lame-duck" Congress has
been prevented by the House for these
many years, but at least one majority
member of the Rules Committee is for
it now
Representative Kitchener, Republican,
Michigan, today predicted the Norris
resolution to eliminate the short session
would pass the House at this term.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, the indie
pendent Republican, named this resolu-
ton as one item in the four-point pro-
gram on which he demands action as
the price of averting possible extra
session in the Spring Through amend
ment to the Constitution 1t would de-
prive defeated Representatives of legis-
lative power and seat each Congress two
months after election.
IF the people see fit to bring about
change in government by electing a
new control of Congress-" said Michen-
err "it should become effective as quickly
as possible. AS it is, the new Congress
comes in year later, when many cues
tons new members are pledged to carry
out may never be met"

HURLEY TO SURVEY
WATERWAY SYSTEM
Secretary of War Win Inspect
Mississippi From Mime
apoIiS to New Orleans.

By the Associated Press.
Undertaking the most thorough and
extensive survey of Americas greatest
engineering project yet made, Patrick
j. Hurley Secretary OF War, will leave
the latter part of the week for an in
spection of the Mississippi waterways
system from Minneapolis to the Gulf
Of Mexico.
The Secretary has a threefold pur-
pose in mind in making the trip by
boat from the upper Mississippi to New
Orleans He wishes to gain first-hano
information on Indian waterway enter
prises, food control projects and riv-
ers and harbors works so in discussing
these questions with President Hoover
and advisers In washington he will
have had an intimate picture OF each
situation.
Next, the trip will enable the Secre-
tary to survey such projects as Army
engineers believe would benefit local
unemployment by being expedited. Al
most equally important tho Secretary
believes will be conferences with local
interests and consultations with Army
engineers on the ground. Each OF the
district engineers viii be ordered aboard
the Secretary's boat the moment 1t
reaches their territory to tell him OF
tricts.
MAI Gems. Lyle Brown, chief of
Army Engineers, and Thomas a. Ash
burn. chairman of the Inland Water
ways Corporation. the leading officials
in the Armys waterways enterprises,
viii accompany the Secretary over the
entire trip, which, with side excursions
by atrplalle, will aggregate nearly 5000
miles.
Secretary Hurley's plans contemplate
stopovers at the more important cities
along the Mississippi. From these
points he will fly to more distant prof.
ects of the river. He hopes to use an
airplane also to gain 4 "birds-eye view"
Of numerous projects.
No other Secretary of War has made
a survey of such an extensive character
as that which Hurley plans. Several
nave surveyed particular enterprises
along the river at various times and
President Hoover has personally inspect
ed the Southern section OF the various
projects, but this was while ne was
Secretary of Commerce.

MANY TRUNK ROUTES
To Be TAR TREATED
300 MILES OF NEW WORK, 500
MILES OF RETREATMENT ON
STATES BITUMINOUS PROGRAM
ELY TO SOUDAN ON THE LIST.

AS soon as settled warm and dry
weather arrives, Oil and tar trucks
will start work on about 800 miles of
Minnesota trunk highways, according
to announcement by the State High
way department. Three hundred miles
OF graveled roads will be given new
b1tuminouS treatment this summer and
about two-thirdS of the 778 miles pre-
v1ously treated will be re surfaced.
Included in the tentative list of
routes to be given new oil or tar treat
ment this year are T. H. No. 35 from
Ely to Soudan
Bids on furnishing approximately
100000 gallons of Oil, tar and asphalt
were opened by the Highway depart
ment last week. Separate bids were
taken on material and on application
for each project. Freight rates the
grade of material used, and the length
of haul, cause considerable variation in
prices on various jobs.
The State Highway department.
through its labratory and testing div
lslon, makes careful study of the
road surface material and subsoil on
each route before determining the
grade and amount of bituminous mat
erlal to use. The amounts used vary
from 10000 to $4,000 gallons on new
treatments and from 1000 to 5000 on
refreshments. Refreshments are US
ually required two out of every three
years, but this varies somewhat with
traffic and soil conditions.
Bids averaged slightly over a year
ago. Low bids on application ranged
from .01O9 to .0293 cents per gallon.
Low bids on road oil ranged from .O428
TO .O672 per gallon, on asphalt from
.O8l7 to .0977 cents per gallon and on
tar from .0987 to .1139 cents per gall
lon. Low bidders on oil were the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, the
American Fuel Corporation, the Shell
Petroleum Corporation, The H. H.
Cross Company, The Seneca Petroleum
Company and the Iowa Road Build
ing Company, on asphalt the White
Eagle Oil and Refining Company. and
on tar the Barrett Company and the
American Tar Products Company. Low
bidders on application were the Iowa
Road Building Company, the j. w.
Craig Company and the Gaus-Culligan
Company. Furnishing and spreading
gravel is done either by separate con-
tract or by highway maintenance
forces.
The work to be done this year will
increase the bituminous mileage to
about LOO. Oil and tar are used on
routes which cannot be paved imrned-
lately but where traffic is so heavy
that untreated gravel cannot be main
tanned in satisfactory condition. In
regions where gravel is scarce it has
been found that surfacing of light
gravel with bituminous treatment costs
less than heavy surfacing of un-
treated gravel. The cost of new oil
and tar treatments range from $500 70
$4,000 per mile and refreshments from
$500 to $500 per mile.

MOTORISTS TOLD HOW
TO TREAT PEDESTRIANS

Here is a plea for the pedestrian.
taken from phamphlet issued by the
safety committee of the Minnesota De-
partment of the American Legion.
The rules are short and to the point
and are we'll worth remembering:
Keep in mind that no matter what
the circumstances, the pedestrian is
always entitled to safety His conduct
may be right or it may be wrong: no
autoist has any right whatever to in
jure HIM
AS driver, you must give the ped
estrian the benefit of every doubt He
may be deaf, he may be mentally de-
flcient or he may have poor eyesight.
DO unto others as you would be
done by Remember that you may be
pedestrian tomorrow. Your wife and
children may be pedestrians today.
Keep in mind that approximately
one-third of all persons killed by auto
mobiles are under Is years of age.
You should form the habit of driv-
ing carefully.
The Legion circular also asks motor
lists to Remember that speed is a con-
tributing factor in many automobile
accidents. When you are driving faster
than Is to 20 miles an hour depending
on circumstances on any city street,
you are taking chances This is es-
pecially true where traffic is heavy
where pedestrians are crossing where
children are likely to run-at an in
tersection or crossing with INSTRUCTED
view"

PUBLIC WORK TO AID
UNEMPLOYMENT URGED.

Among the members in Congress who
have urged program for the con-
struction Of public buildings where
ever needed, the Representative from
the Eighth District, William A. Pit
tenger, has been active sHe has Wig
orously supported the public building
program and has also advocated
program for the construction Of nat
ional highways, so as to give employ
ment to people who ore unable to OBJ
tain work at the present time
Congressman Pittenger also en-
phasized the fact that states and mum
icipalities have an important part in
the plan to relieve the unemployment
situation and believed that the re-
sponsibility for undertaking public en-
terprises which are proper at this time
cannot be avoided.
In discussing this matter Congress-
Pittenger said. cit devolves upon the
administrative officials of the various
government subdivisions to work out
a constructive program of road build
ing. and public works, so that the tenn
porary conditions may be improved"
1t will be remembered that last sum-
mer, while Congress was in special
session, Mr.. Pittenger called attention
to the need Of plans to relieve the I'M
employment problem and made some
remarks before Congress on that sub
ject.
He introduced a resolution, calling
for data on unemployment and his
work along this line, as well as work
by others interested, resulted in the
legislation providing for census on
unemployment when 1t Is taken in
April.

groceries, canned goods and meats.
The damage to the building was es-
timated at $4,000, covered by insurance.

CUTTING SMALL TREES
is COSTLY BUSINESS

Parker o. Anderson, forestry spec
ialist OF the extension division, Univ
ersity Farm, st. Paul, advises farmers
in the handling of their woodlots to
avoid the cutting of small trees. He
says that the cutting of such trees is
poor business, that the leaving of
small trees of desired species means
increased future profits. When small
trees are relieved of the competition
OF larger trees they grow in height and
diameter at corresponding higher
rate. This means speeding up of the
future crop.
Mr.. Anderson says that cutting trees
under IL inches in diameter is ordin-
arily improbable. This is because they
yield only a small amount of lumber
whereas If they were left to grow until
they are Is to Is inches in diameter
they give much larger yield and com
mand the prices of the higher grades.
He cites certain tests made by the
Lake States Experiment Station which
show that for every 1000 board feet
from eight-inch logs the cost is about
$4,000 whereas from 24-inch logs the
cost is about $937.
