Washington, April 6-Troubles were
piled on the doorstep of the Senate
when the House delivered the tax bill
for consideration and concurrence. 1t
is generally agreed that the Senate
will be obliged to follow the footsteps
of the House in an endeavor to bal
ance the budget. The high dry light
of reason is gradually filtering
through politically trained minds that
the country and the Congress are fac
ing grave economic conditions. What
ever the legislators do with the tax
measures will not be based on convic-
tion but on circumstances. This trend
was observable in the House when
many swallowed revenue items ordi-
narily unpalatable and indigestible to
their own ideas.
The passage of the revenue bill in
the House along non-partisan lines in
dictated that the same action would be
expected of the Senate. The Senate,
proud of the title ''the most delibera-
tive body in the world" can, when the
occasion demands, pass important
bills with a speed that dazzles the
galleries. The Senate Finance Com
mittee hearings will not be as extern
sive as the House group. Hope has
been expressed that the tax problem
will be out of the way before the
June Presidential convention season

SPRING COURTHAS.
LIGHT CALENDAR
Only Four Criminal Cases OH Docket
OF Annual County Term Which
Commenced Monday.

District court began at Pine City
Monday with Judge Alfred P. Stolberg
presiding. The calendar contained
only four criminal cases, three of
which were liquor cases. In the case
of the state VS.. John Feeder, a con-
tinuance was granted until the fall
term of court in October. The case
of the state VS.. Alfred Sohlo was dis
missed. The trial of two liquor cases
was set for Friday, April s. These
are the state VS.. George Teich and the
state VS.. Mrs. Mary Lans.
Two other cases were brought up
and given a place on the calendar
after court commenced. The first
was the state VS.. Harold Fostoff, Ken
meth Green, and James Hass, who are
charged with having burglarized the
Marudas brothers store in Hinckley
on the night of Nov. II, 1881. The
case against one of the defendants,
Harold Fostoff, was disposed of by the
young man pleading guilty. Being
under eighteen, the youth drew
years sentence to the St. Cloud Re-
formatory, which sentence was sus
pended until October term of court
on the condition that the youth at
tend high school, work as much as
possible, and be home every night at
ten p. m. He is also to work during
the summer and report to the proba-
ton officer once a week in Duluth.
The case of the state VS.. John w.
Ebert, in which the defendant is
charged with unlawful conversion of
funds by trustee, is also to be tried
during this term of court.

breaks up their debates. The trend
in national, state and municipal gov
eminent costs has been steadily up
ward, which means additional wor-
ries for the taxpayers.
The Congress has taken advantage
of public sentiment in regard to finan-
cial houses. With much gusto the
Senate has undertaken an inquiry
into the stock market in an effort to
correct or curb questionable practices.
Another problem deals with propagan-
da attributed to the bankers opposing
changes in the Federal Reserve laws.
The House showed its hand with the
imposition of heavy taxes on stock
transactions and other speculative
matters. Bankers, once feared for
their power in local communities, are
now on the defensive. The public,
never inclined to delve deep into real
causes, attribute present economic
conditions to the cupidity of the bank
ing profession. Hence, the legislators
seize on situation to make political
capital without fear of bankers get
ting their scalps at the elections.
The House will have another major
problem on its hands with the de-
mand in some quarters for the veter-
ans bonus. The President has noti-
fed Congress that veto awaits leg

RECORD FISH
FRY EXPECTED
Superintendent of Conser-
walton Outlines Plans
for Coming Season.
Pike Eggs Will Soon be in
HatcherieS; Prospects
Are Excellent.

If early plans are any criterion, the
Division of Game and Fish, Depart
ment of Conservation will cause a
record production of fish fry to be
started on the way in 1882 toward sup
plying future anglers hooks with the
choice species of game. According
to DR.. Thaddeus Surber, superinten-
dent of fish propagation for the di-
vision, the expected high mark will be
headed by at least 600,OO0,000 pike
fry, with weather and water condi-
tions excellent in prospect for the
record yield.
Seven hatcherieS and six field sta
tiOnS are located at strategic points
in the state where work is already
under way that all detail possible
may be taken care of previous to the
actual starting of operations The
hatcheries are situated at st. Paul,
Lanesboro, st Peter. French River,
Detroit Lakes, Redby and Glenwood
Field stations are maintained at Park
Rapids, Jenkins, Deer River. Rainier.
Tower and Bemidji The field sta
lions are used mostly for the hatch
ing of spawn from pike.
Wall-eyeS will comence moving up
the warmer streams almost any day
now. 1t is expected that some $4,000
females will be caught in specially
constructed traps and stripped of some
100000 eggs. Records kept in this
work indicate that ~ per cent of
these eggs will be Matched. Even
though the record mark of Coo, O0O, 900
pike fry seems staggering, this is
only One-half of the possible produc-
ton that the state-owned hatcheries
are equipped for as the total capacity
amounts to 100000 900 fry.
A shortage of adult fish is the rea-
son why the hatcheries are not op-
Grated at full capacity and is not due
to any shortage of funds or man
power, according to DR.. Surber
Approximately 100000 whitefish
will be propagated, the production of
about 100000 and it is expected that
100000 pickerel will be Matched.
Brook, brown and rainbow trout are
now filling the regular hatcheries to
capacity, growing rapidly, and if no
unforeseen losses occur during the
summer and fall, there should be dis
tributed approximately 100000 of
these varieties between June and De-
cember.
Large and small-mouthed black
bass, distributed during the fall
months, should number fully 100000
fingerlings.
In the opinion of DR.. Surber there

result be obtained in fish stocking
work.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

In a recent volume of the Interna-
tional Studies, published by the Mil
bank Foundation, Arthur Newsholme,
M. D., discussing the high cost of ill
ness, claims that Denmark has come
nearer to solution of that problem
than any other country, in that "its
excellent hospitals are more readily
available and more completely uti-
lized than elsewhere Denmark's
sickness insurance is said to be
unique, in that without the introduce
ton of compulsion the majority of the
Danish people are insured. Denmark's
sickness insurance deserves special
attention also because it appears to
work, as a rule, satisfactorily both to
the insured and to the doctors. >

sickness insurance companies in Den

members with a moderate income.
