PROGRESSIVES
OFFER BILLS
To Place Home Rule Where 1t Be.
lOngs.-LOmmen Gets Attention
of Conservatives.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

1t is apparent that another attempt
to repeal the Brooks-Coleman street
railway act. will be made during the
present session of the legislature.
In the house a bill to repeal the
street railway act has been intro
duced by Bede. Petersen, Lockhart,
Stockwell and McDonough. All of the
above are from districts included
within one or the other of the three
cities interested, except Petersen who
halls from Pine Mr.. Petersen is,
however, a progressive and believes
in home rule for the cities of the
state.
In the senate a companion measure
was introduced by B. H. Loftsgaarden
of Ramsey. Mr.. Loftsgaarden was
elected with Farmer-Labor support
over Senator Lloyd E. Lilygren who,
as member of the senate at the 1927
and 1929 sessions voted against repeal.
PrOgressives Have Laugh.
In this connection it may be stated
that senate progressives are entitled
to a good laugh on the conservatives,
The latter organized the senate and
packed the important committees
there, so that any progressive legisla-
ton might be defeated without reach
| ing a vote in the senate. When Lofts
garden introduced his repeal bill
Lieutenant Governor Henry Arens
very properly referred the bill to the
| committee on settles of the first class.
This was not in accordance with the
program of the reactionaries wht
wanted the bill referred to the com
mittee on general legislation" which
committee has always had charge o
similar bills in years gone by.
Bede in Charge of Bill.
Former Congressman ]. Adam Bed,
will no doubt have charge of the re
peal bill in the house. Mr.. Bede wa
formerly a conservative of conserva
tives Depression, unemployment AM
prohibition seem to have brough
about a change in Mr.. Bede's view
and up to date, at any rate, he ha
voted consistently with the progress
sives of the house on all importan
roll calls.
Chances of repeating the street rail
way act are better than at any session
since the law was enacted in 1921
ReactiOnaries Attack LOmmen.
| One of the members of the senat
who has been most active in the in
terests of Governor Floyd Olson's Pre-
gram is George H. Lommen Of Eve
leth. Mr.. Lommen has been frien
and admirer of the Governor for
number of years and on that accour
has taken a warm interest in al
matters of concern to the governo
and to the party with which they ar
both affiliated.
The reactionaries are not b.
fond of Mr.. Lommen. While they hav
no dislike for him personally, they n
gard him as dangerous to the IL
terests which they represent. Thi
they have hit upon the expedient {
creating dissention in the camp of tn
Farmer-Laborites.
