an official report on conditions in that
state where the natural breeding season
of deer has been deranged, producing a
scrawny, physically unfit specimen of
deer. Other sportsmen also spoke
against any one-buck proposal.
A healthy discussion on all of the
recommendation was held with the re-
suit that legislative program which is
representative of Northeastern Mime
sofa was ultimately drawn up and
adopted. It was the most interesting
and enthusiastic meeting held by the
association, developing a better under
standing of mutual problems.
A resume of the legislative program
approved by the association shows con-
siderable study on the part of the sew
eral sponsors and no doubt will be an
impressive index for the legislature at
the coming session. The several resolu-
tons recommending and opposing Ger
tain changes follow:
Recommend that the season on mi
gratory waterfowl be moved back to
September Is, in the northern zone; OPP
posed proposed Federal 81 stamp law
for hunting of migratory water fowl:
oppose any one-buck law or regulation
at any time or manner.
Urged an open season on beaver in
alternate years in April. Oppose In
crease in resident license fees. Seek
legislation to secure so-called Mccarthy
beach on Big Sturgeon lake northwest
of Chisholm as state park That all
licenses sold by game wardens be sent
them direct by the game and fish de-
partment and no commissions be paid
for same
Prohibit the use of salt ticks in the
taking of deer. Recommend the issu-
ance of suitable badges with all L.

worn while hunting or fishing Oppose

Representative Dewey john
son of Hennepin keeps the
press of the Twin Cities on the
jump with his blasts against his
colleagues in the house and
especially against R. w. Hitch
cock of Hibbing. His latest
move is to request the attorney
general to enter suit against
the senators and representa-
tives who were members of the
Minnesota Yorktown Sesqui-
centennial Commission for the
return of expense money paid
to them for the trip. Johnson
claims that it was a junket of
absolutely no value to the state
and an expensive vacation for
which the state paid good
money and lots of it. The
governor signed the expense
vouchers of the commission
without protest and it would
seem that what was OK with
the governor should be salts
factory to Representative John
son. The state was we'll repre-
sented at the Yorktown cele-
bration and the appointment of
the commission was a satisfac-
tory gesture. Besides, it is
somewhat late to start anything
now. That should have been
looked into by Rep. Johnson at
the time it happened.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Late advices from political
headquarters are that John G..
Armson, who for many years
has been a valued member of
the State Tax Commission,
must go. This leaves~tic field
open for a successor and right
here we wish 20 again stress
the appointment of a northern
Minnesota man for the place
and preferably Assessor Fred
4. James, who has been named
as a candidate with chances
much in his favor although Abe
Kleffman of Hibbing is giving
him a merry chase. Another
who is being mentioned is
Harry F. Fiterman of Mime
apolis who has been special tax
investigator for Mayor Ander-
son of Minneapolis.
Not only has Assessor James
been endorsed for the appoint
ment by the City Council of this
city but also by many of the
municipal and civic bodies of
the range towns. He has been
prominent in assessment mat
tiers as related to valuations at
the meetings of the League of
Minnesota Municipalities and
his experience in the northern
end of the state and especially
with matters as related to
mining taxation eminently fits
him for the position.

Another of the old timers to
make mining history on the
ranges, John Uno Sebenius,
passed to his reward at
Rochester, Minnesota, Sunday
following an operation of a
month ago from which COM
plications developed. Mr.. Sc
benius has had a long career
in the mining industry of nor
thern Minnesota with which he
has been connected almost
since its infancy. For SO years
he directed the mining activi-
ties of the U. S. Steel corpora
ton in this territory and was
an important figure in the ex-
ploration and development of
the industry in northern Mime
sofa. He retired as mining
engineer for the corporation in
July, 1880. He has been a
resident of Duluth since 1892.
Mr.. Sebenius was recognized
as an authority on mineral af-
fairs. He was born in Sweden
on September 10, 1862. He
graduated from the Royal
Technical Institute and School
of Mines in Stockholm in 1886.
Two years later he came to this
country. He displayed ex-
ceptional ability and his pro-
motions were swift from one re-
sponsible position to another.
The funeral is being conducted
in Duluth today and many from
the ranges will attend. The
mining industry of Minnesota
suffers a distinct loss in the
death of Mr.. Sebenius and the
sympathy of a host of friends

Tuesday "as free men and women
of this country Of ours" :z.
Before an enthusiastic audience
last night, Senator johnson
launched the Mid-western phase
of his drive for the election Of the

without adequate understanding. :"
The address was broadcast over
a nationwide radio network.
Before mounting the platform,

rebut the Presidents arguments.
He characterized the Presidents

DECLARES
Al Smith Joins Him in Final
Big Attack on G. o. P.
Administration

NEW YORK, Nov. S (I.N.S.).
Having indicted Preside n
Hoover on a charge of hbeling
the credit of the United States
for his recent assertion that the
country barely escaped going
off the gold standard, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt today re-
iterated his supreme conf
dence of a Democratic landslide
next Tuesday.
The Democratic nominee was
faced with a busy day; and to-
night IL Madison Square Garden,
with former Gov. AL Smith by
his side, he will fire another
broadside at the Republican
Administration, which he has
accused Of making "unscrupulous"
appeals for votes.
At noon Governor Roosevelt was
to attend a luncheon in the
Bronx arranged in his honor by
Democratic women.
To Vote At Hyde Park
Returning to his Hyde Park
home tomorrow, the Governor
will greet 1000 motorcyclists from
al parts of the East in the
afternoon.
On Monday he will make a
brief tour through several Hudson
River towns, and that night in
Columbus Hall, Poughkeepsie, he
will make his final appeal to the
voters.
After casting his vote in the
Hyde Park town hall about noon
Tuesday, the governor will motor
back to New York to receive
election returns at Democratic
national headquarters.
Cheered With Smith
In a fighting speech in Brook
lyn last night, after he had ap-
peared on the platform arm in
arm with AL Smith, Governor
Roosevelt bitterly asSailed the
gospel of fear" which he charged
the President with preaching in
. desperate effort to stem the
Democratic tidal wave"
Deafening a applause greeted
Roosevelt and Smith as they
walked out on the stage, cnce
more the political and personal
''pals" of old. It was their first
public appearance together since
they settled their differences, and
the crowd fairly went wild.
Smith again appealed for the
election of the Democratic ma
tional ticket, saying that such
action was the only hope Of re-
storing prosperity.
Calls Action Big Need
Insisting that he had made no
'idle" promises during the CAM
paign and that he had raised no
'false" hopes, Governor Roosevelt
declared that leadership looking

THINKS HOOVER
MADE MESS
Of THINGS"
Also, That G. 0. P. Leaders
Want to Wash Their Hands
of Their Candidate

The Democrats have the
election SIN the bag" and it's
all over but the vote counting
and the shouting, in the
opinion of Clarence Darrow,
noted criminal lawyer, who is
here for a debate tonight with
DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary Of the Meth
odist Board of Temperance, at
the Washington Auditorium.
Mr.. Darrow said he had been
quite active in behalf of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, the Democratic can
didate, and will leave here tornor-
row so that he will be at his
home in Chicago to vote on Tues
day.
Calls G. o. p. LudicrOus
Mr.. Darrow believes that the
Hoover administration has made
a mess of things and said:
"1n 1928 they said, You'll
have to vote for Hoover SO that
prosperity will, continue Now
they say, You'll have to vote :
for Hoover SO that he can get
us out of the depression
They are trying to make the
American public believe that
the man who got the country
into this depression can get us
out. It's ludicrOuS on the face
of it."
Mr.. Darrow thinks that most
of the leaders of the Republican
party would like to wash their
hands of Hoover. He does not
believe Hoover has the country's
interests at heart, and explained:
"Why, he's a man who came
over here from England and
crashed right into public life.
The first vote he ever cast in
this country was when he voted
for himself for President in
1925"
Would Cut Appropriation
The great lawyer, an ardent
crusader against prohibition, be-
lives that the quickest way to-
get rid of the Eighteenth Amend
ment is to cut off the appro-
priation for enforcement and to
repeal the VolStead act. Both
steps, he says, can be accom-
plished easily at one session of
Congress. Then the steps to re-
peal the amendment can follow.
He said:
"Of course, some people will
argue that if a State which
permits sale Of intoxicating
beverage seeks to license estab-
liShmentS where beer, wines
and liquor are sold, the law
will be unconstitutional because
the Eighteenth Amendment is
still on the statute books.
That's the bunk.
"It'S true the Supreme Court
will say q license law is un-
constitutional, but there's moth
ing in the world to prevent q
State from passing a law tax
ing places where such beverages
are sold. Such a law does not
give permission to sell beer,
wines and liquor but does say,
If you sell this stuff, then you
will have to pay a tax"
rendered a Luncheon
A luncheon in honor of Mr..
Darrow was given at 1870 p. m.
at the National Press Club. At
torneyS who are members of the
National Association Opposed to

Liberties Union were in attend
