part was to go to men regularly
employed by the department., and
that only local men>in urgent need
Of employment to care for depend
ents, were to be hired. The As
cent minimum wage and the 49,
hour week were strictly observed.
Every possible effort will be
made to keep as many men en-
ployed during the winter as possi
BILE, Mr.. Babcock states, although
it will be out of question to keep
winter work at anywhere near the
summer figure. Last January the
total number employed by the
state and by contractors on state
highway work was 1897 and dur
ing August and September it reach
ed 1900. This was more than 40
per cent greater than in the same
months in 1880. The increase was
made possible by the additional
funds made available by the Legis-
lature and by Congress.
After the completion of the paw
ing and oiling program around
October 1. the number employed
began to drop off, but Mr.. Babcock
hopes that the winter employment
will be considerably greater than
last winter. A number of grading
and bridge jobs are being let this
fall, for completion next summer,
and on many of these, work will
continue through the winter, ex-
cept in extreme weather. No one
project, where a grading contract
is to be let later, a crew Of about
300 men is now employed on force
account clearing the right of way.
Section men and number OF
other employees in the maintenance
division work ON all year basis
although many of them work fewer
hours in winter than in summer.
In case of snow, they are kept busy
keeping the roads open, and in an
open winter they find work in patch
graveling, repair of drains, fences,
guard rail and other routine main
tenance work. Such work as re-
graveling, oiling and other work
done by contract, must be discon-
tinued during the winter.

GOV, OLSON'S IDEA
NOT INDORSED
Minnesota Congressman Diff
fer With Chief Executive
On Federal Aid
LOOKS LIKE POLITICS
Federal Aid Plan So Imprac-
tical 1t Could Not Be
Endorsed

st. Paul, Nov. 9-Minnesota's
overwhelmingly Republican con-
gressional delegation and Governor
Floyd B. Olson, the states first
Farmer-Labor chief executive, to-
day agreed that something should
be done to aid farmers, but they
differed on how to do it.
The congressman conferred all
day with Olson on his proposals
for farm relief. The governor sew
eral weeks ago announced his pro-
posal which included federal aid
and lower taxes.
Minnesota's representatives will
go back to Washington to work for
tariff changes to curtail importa-
ton of butter from Canada and
Europe. The congressman favored
lower taxes although some of them
did not approve of a replacement
income tax as advocated by the
governor in his statements to farm
leaders. They did not give their
approval to Olson's suggestion IF
exempting the small farm owner
and home owner from the full rate
of taxes.
Political observers said that the
governors move in calling the del
egation together had furnished hin,
with ammunition for an attack on
Republicans. Republicans control
the states congressional delegation
and by failing to cooperate with
the governor in his proposals for
lower taxes and farm relief, they
have left themselves open to at.
tack by the Farmer-Laborites in
the next gubernatioral campaign.
The governor was disappointed
it was understood, that the con-
gressmen had not supported his
plan. He pointed out that II Min
nesota were part Of a foreign coun-
ty, it might have arranged loans
at low interest rates as many ma
lions in Europe. A loan from the
federal government to the state to
aid farmers through the Minnesota
rural credits bureau was one part
Of Olson's proposals.

noon. He discussed, in a very force
full and interesting manner, some Of
the causes and cures of the present
economic crisis. Among other
things" the speaker stated our
country must return to the funda-
mental idea of honesty, thrift and a
chance for every individual to earn
a living. He pointed out that even
though Agriculture has suffered
great financial losses there Is prob
ably less actual want and hunger
on farms to day than in the great
cities. His talk was thought pro-
voking and was much enjoyed by
all.

Increasing Taxation Is
Serious Problem for All
Hon Frank b. Kellogg, Statesman,
Peace Champion, Intelligently
Discusses Depressions Cause

The reurn of prosperity and the
relief of unemployment are not COM
ing from enormous expenses and
wild extravanges of governments.
They are coming through economy,
thrift and industry, says Honorable
Frank B. Kellogg, world peace
champion, whose experience in
governmental affairs both in our
own country and abroad, makes his
advise valuable. Continuing Mr..
Kellogg says, The burden Of taxa
ton not only in our own country,
but in all the world, is responsible
for much Of the industrial depres-
sion now existing. It is deadening
individual initiative, handicapping
industries and limiting the pur-
chasing power Of the people. In the
National government, the State
governments and local municipal
governments there has been unwise
almost Extravaganza,
The cost Of government from the
districts upward to the National
government has enormously in
creased far beyond the necessities
of the people and their ability to
pay. In Europe some Of the
countries are taking warning and
attempting to reduce their expens-
es, balance their budgets and light.
en- the burden Of their people. We
may well take warning from them
as we will be compelled to do the
same thing
Thoughtful people will agree that
Mr.. Kellogg is right and by the
same token, thoughtful people
ought to get behind these commun-
ity movements which have for
their purpose the intelligent study
of public expenditures.
Does such ORGANIZED public effort
get reults? Out in California, taxes
have been reduced the enormous
sum of $27,OO0,O0. How was this
done? The people through organic
ed effort in the various govern
mental units studied the expendi-
lures Of their schools, townships,
villages, cities and counties and be-
cause of the study, they found
ways and means Of cutting expend-
itures that directly aided the bur-
dened taxpayer and they did it
without interfering with the effic-
iency Of any activity.
!. This SGT ZOO, 900 is a nice present
to California taxpayers. It amounts
to $500 for every man, woman and
child in the State. It is sum al
most twice the entire state tax in
Minnesota. In our State, we feel If
we could abolish our state tax, a
long step will have been taken for
taxpayer relief. California has
shown how easily and how quickly
such a saving can be effected. Min
nesota is already making fine pro-
gress in solving the tax burden
problem through curtailment Of ex-
penditures and now the experience
Of California is striking evidence,
that we are on the right track II
real taxpayer relief is what Is
wanted. In his statement Mr.. KEEL
logg said, What Is the remedy for
excessive taxation? And then he
continued, It is in the hands Of the
people themselves. No thoughtful
NOR or woman can come to any

Bishop John Gregory
Murray Named Archbishop
CONTINUED from Page Ona'

Bishop Joseph Certin, who was
consecrated in 1851. He died in 1857
and was succeeded in 1859 by
Bishop Thomas L. Grace, who re-
signed the office in 1884 because OF
i'll health. He had had as his
assistant Bishop John Ireland, who
served as coadjutor bishop, and
was consecrated as bishop the same
year that Bishop Grace resigned.
1t was largely because of the i'm
portance> to which Bishop Ireland
raised his see that it was elevated
to the position of an archdiocese in
1883 and Bishop Ireland consecrated
as the first archbishop.
Archbishop Ireland became one
of the outstanding figures, not only
in the Catholic church but in the
public life of the state and nation.
His death occurred on Sept. 70,
1918.
In 1919, Bishop Bowling, who had
: been the first bishIp or Des Moines,
: having been appointed to that office
lin 1912, was named to succeed the
late Archbishop Ireland. He was
consecrated on March Is at impress
sive ceremonies in which more than
400 priests took part.
He was q man much interested
in education and during his service
as archbishop many notable I'M
provements were made in the Cath
Ollie school system of the diocese.
The educational foundation was in
creased number of schools built
and others remodeled and extern
sions and improvements made in
the courses of study.
Although not a man OF robust
health, his efforts were untiring,
and his death occurred on Novem-
Der %, 1880.
Since that time the affairs OF the
archdiocese have been admins
tered by Monsignor James A.
Byrne, who served in the interim
between the death of Archbishop
Ireland and the appointment OF
Archbishop bowling.
Although few of the Catholic
clergy or Catholic laymen, know
Bishop Murray personally several
know him by reputation and gen
eral confidence was expressed in
his abilities.
"By reputation know he is
very outstanding man." Rev. John
Dunphy, pastor Of the Church OF
the Ascension, declared. after all
the time and great care that has
been used in selecting a new arch
bishop, I know of course, that he
will be most suitable"
Francis Gross, vice president OF
the Northwestern National Bank,
and a prominent Catholic layman,
said: 81 am pleased that the posi-
ton has been filled. There can be
no question but that Bishop Muir
ray is a fine man"

TWO LIGHTS THAT SHINE

God first gave the light to man

And by his presence power and might

But not doubling Thomas
He won name and lots of fame.

It is so practical and clear,
No lamps to fill, no wicks to trim
Nor chimneys wash oft times dim.

And sometimes curl her hair,

 RING TOMORROW

A radio wave from Bethlehem will set the chimes of old Trinity ringing in New York at midnight on Christmas Eve, to be heard over a National Broadcasting company network.
 The Rev Dr Rennie Machines, Anglican bishop of Jerusalem, will start an electrical impulse which will be flashed by telegraph from Bethlehem through Nazareth, Jer- sualem, Jafta. Tel-Azziz and to Alexandria to span the Atlantic by wireless. The impulse will be re- ceived at Riverhead, l.. T., and travel thence by land wire to the famous old church at Broadway and Wall streets.
 Christmas Eve listeners on the radio will hear first the click from Bethlehem. and then the chimes. The broadcast will be carried on an NBC.WJZ network and, by special arrangement, over WOTa, Newark. The program will last scarcely longer than a minute and Christmas day, 1881, will have begun.
 This unique event has been arr ranged by the Veteran Wireless Operators association with W. A. Winterbottom. vice president of R. c. A. communications and with the British government, which is providing the wire facilities in the Holy Land.
