Five things keep meekly hid,

end of many Congressional careers.
The resentment vote is intangible but
effective at all times. The entire
House membership must submit to
the voters decision this fall and one
third of the Senators terms will also
expire. Hence, the apprehensiveress
in political circles and the diligent
hunt for scape-gOats.
If the question of Federal employe
salary cuts could be isolated and con-
sidered solely as an economy measure
the opposition would be negligible.
The labor unions and others are fear
full that the effect will be widespread
in private industry. Therefore, the
labor organizations are fighting par
ing the government payroll as a
means of maintaining high wage
scales elsewhere. This situation pre-
sents problem which Congress can
not overlook for wholesale wage slash
ing in their home districts could then
be attributed to their economy meas
ures. 1t seems assured that some
compromise will be reached in order
to save money and keep taxes down
to fair rate.

bonus hovers over the legislative
body. All plans for balancing the
budget will be thrown into discard in

Washington, April 2O-Back of a
facetious remark by Secretary of the
Treasury Mills about paternity" is
the true picture of the political cross
play this week at the Nations Cap
ital. No one, it appears, is willing to
claim the credit for the pending tax
bill and economy measures For once
in legislative history the real or fan
cied authors of these bills are reluc-
tant to lend their names to the propO-
sitions. The answer may be found in
the fact that these major activities
of the Congress are loaded with po-
litical dynamite. They realize the
wisdom of the Biblical saying 'by
their deeds We shall know them" and
run from efforts to tag measures with
their party individual label.
The Senate and House are keenly
alive to the current of voters
thoughts and act from circumstance
rather than conviction. The people
are predisposed to criticise Congress
sional tactics. Politicians are always
blamed for bad times regardless of
their actual responsibility. Conse-
quently there is no pride of author
ship in the hodge-podge tax raising
measures now before the Senate or
the pruning of governmental expendi-
lures by the House. The imposition
of high taxes will probably spell the

Second District for Commissioners;
LangeSlay for Clerk of Court.

With spring weather coming on,
milder days and better roads it seems
to bring out more politics and more

Kerrick neighborhoods, having pre-
viously filed.
Mr.. Matson is serving his second
term and eighth year as commission

re-districting of the commissioner
districts of Pine county, the eastern
portion of the county along the 500
railroad joining the communities of
Bruno, kerrick, Duquette, and Nicker-
son with the territory in between to
form the re-arranged Fifth district.
Mr.. Matson was the first man to be
elected commissioner from the Fifth
district after the new boundaries had
been established. He came to Pine
county with his family from South
Dakota 10 years ago and has built
up splendid 100 acre farm from
what was then practically a wilder

Insurance Company the past IA years.

Brook Trout First Game Fish for
Minnesota Anglers: May / i'm
Most of State.

Fishing tackle has been taken from
attics and sundry places and is now
being review, checked and double
checked by Minnesota anglers and
many from other states who are
eagerly awaiting the opening of the
fishing season in this state. Thou
sands will trek close to nature on
that suspicious day in their participa-
ton in the sport made famous by the
renowned Izaak Walton.
The season for legal angling of
brook trout with the Rainbow,
speckled and brown the most popular
varities, begins May 1 in the greater
part of the state, which is two weeks
later than in past years because of
legislative act. In six counties of the
state, however, this opening date is
delayed to May Is. These counties
are Lake, st. Louis, Itasca, Koochich-
ing, Carleton and Cook.
1t will be legal to take wall-eyed
pike, sand pike, pickerel, great north
ern pike, yellow perch and muskel-
lunge by hook and line beginning
to all parts of Minnesota for these
varieties.
May 20 will bring the opening of
the season for black, striped, grey,
yellow, silver and rock bass in the
southern zone while in the northern
section the bass season will open on
June 81. These dates in both zones
also apply to the angling of crappies
and sunfishes. The line marking the
division between the southern and
northern zones extends approximately
east and west through Browns Valley,
Morris, st. Cloud, Princeton and Cam
bridge.
Bullheads, garfish, whitefsh, carp,
dogfish, redhorse, sheepshead, catfish,
suckers, eelpout and buffalo may be
taken from May l.

B. B. LEAGUE
DRAFTS PLANS

First Games Will be Played
May IS; Askov With
draws.

About fifty baseball players, league
representatives and others were pres
ent at the annual organization meet
ing of the Pine County Baseball
league held in Sandstone last Thurs
day evening.
All of the baseball clubs that par
ticipated last year had representa-
tives at the meeting. Representa-
tives from Moose Lake, Sturgeon
Lake, Sandstone, Pine City and Brook
Park expressed their intention of en-
tering teams in league competition
again this season. Askov, although
retaining its membership in the
league, decided to remain inactive
this season. Two new entries, Fin
layson and Hinckley were accepted
into the league. Finlayson was
member of the Pine County league
two years ago but did not organize
a team last year. Hinckley is enter
ing team which is composed of
some of the American Legion players
who were entered in the state tourna-
ment held in Saltwater last year.
1t is likely that another club will
be accepted so as to make it an eight
club league and avoid the necessity
of one club drawing a bye each Sum
day.
The cost of entering and maintain
ing membership was greatly eased
by various actions of the board of
directors. The proposition of the
Central Umpires Association for fur
nishing umpires was accepted. This
association is newly organized and
consists of men throughout this base
ball area who have umpired before
and who are able to take charge of
the games in a creditory manner.
This action of the baseball league
will greatly reduce the expense of
promoting the games. The league
guarantee requirement was also re-
duced making it easier for the clubs
to meet the financial burden.
