Opinion on Vehicle
Measure Is Given

A construction Of Senate Fill 60
enacted by the last legislature. to reg
ulate the size Of motor vehicles used
on state highways. has been given In
an opinion issued by Harold D. Shaft.
assistant attorney general. The opin-
ion was furnished on inquiry 81 Carl
Myhre, assistant chief engineer Of the
state highway department.
Motor vehicles, trailers and semi.
trailers are all vehicles for the pur-
pose of the act. MI. Shaft said The
section of the bill, providing that no
vehicle shall exceed a length Of IS
feet, Mr.. Shaft added. must be held
to apply to motor vehicles, trailerS
and semi-trailers alike.
1.-THE act prescribes no method Of
determining the length of q semi
trailer when the same is so attached
to the forward truck as to overlap"
the opinion said. 1T Is my opinion
however. that the length Of a semi
trailer should be measured from thu
rear end of the truck frame to thu
rear end Of the semi-trailer ard that
the portion Of the semi-trailer which
overlaps the truck should not bt
counted in determining Its length"

ecretary American Bridge League)

(Sccretary American Bridge League)
The forcing system is without a
doubt the most popular bidding sys-
tenn used by contract bridge players
today. This system cannot be credit
ed to any one particular authority as
the expert players throughout the
country have all contributed some
thing to it's development. There arc
perhaps more books written on the
forcing system than on all other sys-
TENS combined. Each authority has
his particular variation which he feels
comes closer to producing satisfactory
results in particular situations.
Every authority today uses some
kind of a forcing or demand bid. A
forcing or demand bid is a declaration
made which signifies certain high
card holdings and absolutely requires
partner to keep the bidding open in case
the left hand op--cnt of the forcing
bidder passes. Our next few articles
will explain the straight forcing sys-
tenn with all of its popular variations
including those of the writer.
It is rot necessary that a player
understand auction before he takes
up contract. AS a matter of fact it is
more difficult for one who has just
a fair knowledge of auction to change
over to contract, as they Will con-
stantly use auction tactics which will
not produce satisfactory results due to
the exactness required in contract
bidding.
The first thing the beginner st con-
tract must learn is to value his hand
in two ways:
Defensively-the number of tricks
it will take if opponents play the
hand.

STATE DEPARTMENT
IS NOT LIABLE FOR
ERROR BY EMPLOYE
Opinion Issued by Attorney Gen.
eraI at Request of High
way Official

Suit cannot be brought against the
state highway department for dam
ages growing out of injuries occa-
stoned through negligence of employees
of the department., according to an
opinion issued by Harold d. Shaft,
assistant attorney general.
The opinion replied to an inquiry
from T. G. Plomasen, maintenance
engineer of the department.
suits may be brought against the
state only in such manner, in such
courts and in such cases as the legis-
lative assembly may by law direct"
MI. Shaft said.
"The legislature has never author
lied suit to be brought against the
state for damages for torts or agents
or employees Of the state. The state
highway department is simply an adj
ministrative arm of the state and 1t
is my opinion that no suit may be
brought against either the state or
the highway department in such
cases.
1.-THE personal liability of any en-
ploye of the state who may be neg
ligent and whose negligence may re-
suit in injury to another person. is un-
effected by his relationship with the
state. He is liable for his own per-
sonal conduct the same as any other
person, but any action orough:
against him must be against him a.
an individual and any judgment must
be paid by him as an individual.
Since the state has no legal re-
sponsibility in these cases, it would
be obviously improper for the high
way department to voluntarily pay
such claims"

While the first hand contains six
probable tricks If played, at hearts. it
has no defensive value and therefore
does not have the requirements for
an original bid. The second hand has
the same number of probable tricks,
but it also contains five defensive
tricks-enough high card tricks to
make a forcing two bid, but not quite
enough probable tricks-but is an un-
