STATE OFFICERS
INDICTED TUESDAY
NEW STATE OFFICIALS AND
LEGISLATURE BEGIN DUTIES
THIS WEEK-THE LAW-MAKING
BODY HAS MUCH OF IMPOR-
LANCE BEFORE 1T.

What promises to be the most color
full session of the legislature in many
years opened Tuesday. Both the
Senate and the House met at noon
and organized. Lieutenant Governor
Arens was sworn in and presided over
the Senate. Mike Holm, secretary of
state, presided over the House when
they met after which Speaker Swenson
took his seat
Little business was done the first day.
The governors reception in the CAPT.
toll rotunda on Tuesday evening was a
colorful affair with retiring Governor
and Mrs. Christensen and Governor
Floyd B. Olson and Mrs. Olson in the
receiving line. Inaugural ceremonies
were the feature Wednesday. Both
houses met in joint session in the

cedure
In addition to these there will be
many subjects thrown into the session
by partisanS of ideas, who will have
them launched in bills. The farmer
labor party has its program and the
state federation of labor has another.
Some of their measures were brought
to legislative attention Wednesday in
the governors message.
There will be a report soon from an
interim house committee on local tax
alton, which is expected to go into
new plans for raising state revenue IN
order to help relieve local tax burdens.
The state tax commission is expected
10 propose an income tax, which would
have to be submitted to the people at
the next election More immediate
remedies will be sought in the form Of
a general sales tax, taxes on luxurles
such as tobacco, admissions, oleomar-
garin, and on chain or multiple stores.
Then there is the national bank tax
matter, hard nut to crack in the last
two sessions and still to be cracked.
1t is pending in congress, and unless
the federal law is fixed there will be
an effort to change the state laws so as
to remove the present bars to state
taxation of national banks.
Under the question of highway
finances, there are several proposals to
be met Shall the state issue bonds
to speed highway improvement? Shall
it raise the gasoline tax again?
Leaders in the movement to get more
state money on feeder roads will
urge a new amendment, SO that one
half instead of one-third of the gas
oline tax shall be distributed to the
counties.
The drivers license bill, tracked
two years ago, will come up with
stronger backing this time, and the
automobile associations hope to put the
measure through as protection
against wild and incompetent drivers.
There also may be another fight for
safety responsibility" law requiring
all car owners to furnish some sort of
guarantee to pay damage claims.
Reapportionment is an urgent task
this time, as Minnesota loses a mem
Der of congress, and districts must be
reduced from 10 to nine or else the
nine will have to be elected at large
Committees will begin work on the map
of the state soon after the session con-
veneS.
Governor Olson is expected to urge
the supplying of more funds for road
construction, as an unemployment aid,
and also to ask for large state build
ing program to the same end. The
problem of housing the criminal insane
will demand solution.
Conflict may be expected over plans
to reorganize the state control Of state
owned resources. The plan of a con-
servation department with a single
head, defeated two years ago, may be
revived, and Mr. Olson has declared
his intention of favoring a commission
under which these activities taken from
the state auditor, will be grouped.
Another subject that may bring
clashes is that of better protection
against bandits and other criminals.

AUTO TAGS HELP MICHIGAN
STOP FOREST BLAZES

Pasteboard tags, properly prepared
can stop forest fires quicker than a
whole army of forest rangers armed
with shovels and axes, the Forest Fire
division of the Michigan Department of
Conservation has informed the Ameri-
can Game Protective association
The tags were tried out last summer
as an experiment, and stopped scores
of forest fires before they began, by
calling upon motorists to use caution
while in the woods.
The tags, carrying warning and
advice about needful precautions to
avoid fires, were placed on every foreign
automobile entering the state during
the season when the fire danger was
greatest, and acting as constant re-
minder to the motorist cut down the
number of fires considerably.

Adolph Schroeder and others while
making a trip in the Twin Lake sec
ton of the Superior National Forest
and Game Reserve in the Ely-Fern-
berg district on Monday. came across
the bones and head Of an elk. lndl-
cations on the spot where the remains
were found point to a desperate battle
with wolves and the tracks leading
from the scene showed that nine big
timber wolves were engaged in the
massacre and later the feast. Pic
lures were taken of the spot and will
be sent to the state department and
others with the Idea Of having little
more attention paid to the trapping
of wolves in the reserve. From other
parts of the big game country in this
vicinity also come reports Of various
numbers of deer killed by wolves.
Under Instructions of the U. S.
Biological department, party of trap
pers were in the country for a few
months last fall to figure out ways
and means of combating the wolf
menace to big game. Early in this
campaign it was found that the srlares
in use were not strong enough to hold
a timber wolf and better snares were
built. With the new traps, Is wolves,
several foxes and lynx were taken
during the month Of october. Then

big game taken by wolves amounts
to more than the biennial slaughter
of deer during the hunting season.
These elk were imported and liber-
ated in this section at a heavy expense
to the Izaak Walton League, the Ely
Commercial Club and others with the
idea of stocking the Game Reserve
with this noble animal in addition to
the moose and deer already there.
Reports, since their release two years
ago. are to the effect that they were
doing fine and increased from the
eight, which were liberated near the
Fernberg ranger station, to sixteen
