the new county would start with the
filing of petition with the governor.

voters in the area to be included in the
proposed county. The petition, would
be required to call special election,
at which the question Of creating the
county. would be submitted the voters.
Only persons living in the area to be
set of as the new county would vote
on the question.
If go percent of the voters in the
affected area approve establishment of
the county, the governor would be given
authority to appoint board Of inspec-
tors of election, who would conduct
temporary affairs Of the county. and
prepare for an election to choose the
first set of permanent officers OF the
new county. Voters of the new county
also would designate the county seat

LEGION POSTS ACTIVE
IN PROMOTING SAFETY.

A plea for every Minnesota post to
form Legion emergency corps and to
help organize a community safety
council, is voiced by F. Ben Andreen,
superintendent of schools at New Ulm
and chairman of the Legion's depart
ment emergency committee, in state
ment just issued.
Chairman Andreen declares that If,
through the safety activities of Mime
sofas 470 posts, just one life can be
saved during the coming year, the ef-
fort involved will have been wen repaid.
The chief aim of a Legion emergency
corps he said, is to furnish trained aid
in disasters and to help in quickly re-
storing the stricken community to nor
NAL conditions.
Erecting caution signs, distributing
safety literature, fostering safety edu-
cation in the schools, and bringing
about elimination of traffic hazards,
are other ways in which the Legion

GARBO AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Inspiration" which will open March
/, 2, and 8, at the Opera House, stars
Gneta Carlo. It Is her third Metro
Mayer talking picture and
is particularly anticipated because it
is the first time she has essayed a
typically glamorous role in the medium
Of sound Her first two talkies, Anna
Christie" and Romance" were re-
garded as departures from the char
actefizations upon which this exotic
star rose TO popularity, achieving a
,lnique position ON the screen.
Clarence Brown, who directed Miss
CARLOS first talking pictures as well
as "F7esh and the Devil" and "a
Woman Of Affairs" two of her most
successful silent films, again served as

highly romantic and daring story of
modern Paris.

production is the appearance opposite
Miss Carlo Of Robert Montgomery, the
most popular leading man on the
screen today. Montgomery fresh from
his triumphs in THE Big House." "The
Divorcee," Our Blushing Brides" and
WAR Nurse" nsgotiates a new and
dasiling role, promising to establish
himself in the foremost ranks of ro-
mantle players.

any role, essays another suave char
acterization as Partisan boulevadier,

The Miner editor begS the pardon OF
its readers for overlooking an event OF
great local Importance marking the
passing of mana man in every sense
the word implies. While We overlooked
it in the course of our daily tasks, we
were reminded of the oversight when
we saw an account in a neighboring
paper of where some one was charging
an admission price to view the relics,
books, papers, maps, ETC., left by the
deceased and thus commercializing
what was termed "a life long friend
ship"
February 2, marked the ninth ami
verSary of the death of Rt. Rev. Mon
signor Joseph F. Buh, the grand old
man" of the Catholic church Of nor
thern Minnesota, whose memory is re-
vered by an undenominational list of
friends, especially in Ely and Tower
where he was known by everyone.
Mons. Buh was a friend to all and
many a man owes his success in life
to the spiritual counsel and pecuniary
assistance so ungrudingly given by this
Christian gentleman. He was born
March II, 1888 and died February 2,
1922.

The National Bankruptcy Law, which
is considered nuisance by merchants
and businessmen of the nation, should
be revised. The law reaches out into
every city and village and there is not
a merchant that has not suffered from
it's conspiracy. The Nations Business
labels it as "a rat hole into which,
during the past five years, four billion
dollars honestly due creditors has been
wiped out" 1t has been the means
whereby a dishonest debtor has been
permitted to clear himself of all debts
mortgages excepted, which some have
found to their SORROW without the
payment of anything more than an
attorneys fee and court costs in having
him declared bankrupt.

There is little doubt in the mind
of anyone who is watching the de-
velopmentS but that the growth of
group banking will lead inevitably to
branch banking. This is the danger
inherent in the organization of bank
ing groups. Already group banking
has established itself in the northwest.
The heads of this group banking move
ment while testifying in Washington
on the general subject of changes in
our banking laws, stated that they
favor branch banking. This is signi-
ficant. AS a matter of fact, when our
banks become organized into groups 1t
will be comparatively easy to take tn"
next step and still further centralize
the banking business through the estab-
liShment of the branch system. When
that time comes it viii be goodbye to
independence in the banking world
Credit will be controlled from the great
cities.

ION This
Occasion
, Just a few thoughts Dy the Editor
, ON things Material and Immaterial.

Only one of the Twin City papers
printed an account of the invasion OF
the State Capitol by mob OF Com
munists who for two hours ranted and
raved against our form of government
In terminating their visit, they sacked
the capitol cafeteria in the basement
where a woman in charge Of the con-
cession was trying to make a living for
herself. You can't blame the papers
for not printing the account OF the
diSgraceful proceedings. The less said
about it. the sooner it will be forgotten.
Friend Alva Eastman OF st. Cloud In
editorializing on the occurance wants
to know when he said: "A lot OF the
law-reSpecting citizens all over the state
are wondering why the House OF Re
representatives. should permit mob Of
communists to interrupt its proceed
ings, take charge of affairs and occupy
two hours in ranting speeches. Has

sents the majesty of Minnesota and
that to surrender to a mob is the last
word in self-respect?i'

GENEVA, Oct. 4-Participstion
of the United States in the efforts
of the League of Nations council
to obtain peaceful settlement of
the Japanese conflict in Man
churia appeared certain today.
An informal and secret session
Of the league council decided to
invite the United States participa-

were willing
Aristide BRAND, president of the
council, was authorized to consult
Or. Alfred SEE and Kenkichi Yoshi-
zawa, respective heads of the
Chinese and Japanese league dele
cations.
BRAND received Yoshizawa at
noon, and DR.. SEE soon thereafter.
Prentiss Gilbert, American con-
sul-general at Geneva, was regarded
as a likely American observer.
League officials have stressed the
value of cooperation with the
United States in averting war be-
tween China and Japan.
If the United States participates
In the councils deliberations, the
American representative will have
the same rights as other council
delegates, but no vote.
The council desires American
participation to know Washington's
attitude on all proposals for action,
thus avoiding decisions unaccept-
able to the United States.
