CAPITOL News
(By A. I. HarriS.)

| That bank robbers have been active
in Minnesota this year is shown in a
report made last week by Melvin
PaSsolt, head of the Minnesota Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension Since the
first of the year, Bureau operatives ar
rested 81 bank bandit suspects. OF
these, eight have been convicted and
are serving prison terms; one was slain
during capture, and one killed himself
when trapped. The remainder are in
Jail awaiting trial.
In an effort to expediate the federal
governments civil works program
Governor Olson has appointed Profess
sor Morris B. Lambie, University of
Minnesota, general manager of all re-
lief projects. At the same time the
governor ordered the state highway
department to assist the state board
| of control in its efforts to put $1,000
men to work as rapidly as possible.
Governor Olson has urged that all
local units forget petty differences"
and do everything in their power to
rush the civil works program through.
It can now be definitely stated that
the Hungarian partridge, known as the
gray partridge in Europe, is a per-
manent addition to MinneSota's up-
Land game bird population. This bird
was introduced to this state in 1881 by
the Division of Game and Fish when
1000 were purchased from Canada.
Last year, 5000 were purchased from
Czecho- Slovakia. They were liberated
through the game farm and have done
so well that a short season is in the
|offing. Minnesota climate seems ideal
for them.

based upon the greatest good to the
greatest number.
Before the imperative call OF
this great duty" he said, petty
obstacles must be swept away and
petty aims forgotten"
Nations arm for two reasons, Mr..
Roosevelt said. A few wish to gain
the territories of their neighbors.
But the great majorities arm be-
cause they are afraid of invasion
There is justification for this
fear" he said. Modern weapons
of offense are vastly stronger than
modern weapons of defense.
IF all nations will agree wholly
to eliminate from possession and use
the weapons which make possible
successful attack, defenses auto
matically will become impregnable
and the frontiers and independence
of every nation will become Sc
cure"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the ultimate
object of the disarmament con-
ference was to eliminate all Of
fensive weapons. But pending that
future goal, he proposed the i'm
mediate reduction of some of these
weapons and the limitation OF
many Others"

of young men who are not only
fine athletes but clean cut up
standing boys.
An impromptu response for the
mothers was made by Mrs. Madlem
who expressed fer the group their
appreciation of the courtesy ex-
tended them by the club and of
the tribute paid their sons by the
coach.
Leo A. Madden then gave the

of some of these weapons and the
elimination of many others.
"This government believes that
the program for immediate reduc-
tion of aggressive weapons, now
under discussion at Geneva, is but
first step toward our ultimate
goal. We do not believe that the
proposed immediate steps go far
enough. Nevertheless, this govern
ment welcomes the measures now
proposed and will exert it's influ-
ence toward the attainment of fur
further successive steps of disarm-
ament.
"Stated in the clearest way, there
are three steps to be agreed upon
in the present discussion:
First, to take, at once, the first
definite step toward this objective,
as broadly outlined in the Mac
Donald plan.
Second, to agree upon time and
procedure for taking the following
steps. ~
"Third, to agree that while the
first and the following steps are be-
ing taken, no nation shall increase
its existing ornaments over and
above the limitations of treaty OBJ
| legations.
"But the peace of the world
must be assured during the whole
period of disarmament and I,
therefore, propose a fourth step
concurrent with and wholly de-
pendent on the faithful fulfillment
of these three proposals and SUBJ
ject to existing treaty rights
"That all the nations of the
world should enter into solemn
and definite pact of non-aggres-
sion; that they should solemnly re-
affirm the obligations they have as
sumed to limit and reduce their
ornaments, and provided these OBJ
legations are faithfully executed by
all signatory powers, individually
agree that they will send no armed
force of whatsoever nature across
their frontiers.
Common sense points out that
if any strong nation refuses to join
with genuine sincerity in these
concerted efforts for political an6
econtmic peace, the one at Gen.
eva and the other at London, prog
ress can be obstructed and ulti-
mately blocked. In such event the
civilized world, seeking both forms
of peace, will know where the re-
sponsibility fir failure lies. I urge
that no nation assume such a re-
sponsibility for failure lies. I urge
tions joined in these great confer
ences translate their professed pol
icies into action. This is the way
to political and economic peace.
81 trust that your government
will join in the fulfillment of these
hopes. y 3s*

Tile Trencher
NouU Operating

Valley residents who are inter-
ested In attempts to solve the
drainage problem have an oppor-
tunity to see the tile trencher OF
the Imperial Irrigation district in
operation during the next three
weeks.
The trencher is at present oper-
ating on the Sinclair ranch north
of Calipatria and has attracted
ranchers and landowners during its
period of work there.
While the machine is not a new
one, many are not familiar with
the drainage method in which the
trencher is used. 1t has been uti-
lized in various parts of the valley
in the last few years. 1t is capable
of digging between 1900 and 1000
feet daily.

PAY NEW TAX

SACRAMENTO, May 16. UP
Contract truckmen of California
will operate under a new taxation
law effective June ].
Senate bill 1875, by Bert Snyder,
was signed late last night by Gov
ernor Rolph, placing a 3 per cent
gross receipts tax on the truck
owners who carry by contract.
The bill will bring a biennial
revenue increase of $1,500,O0O. It
was passed both as an equalization
measure between the contract
haulers. who previously paid only
a weight tax, and the certified car
riers under regulation by the state
railroad commission, who pay a
five per cent fee.
The law provides contract haul
ers must continue to pay their
weight tax. If the gross receipts
tax of three per cent and the
weight tax are above the five per
cent paid by certified carriers, the
money paid above that amount will
be refunded.
Persons who haul their own
goods are exempted as both senate
and assembly held the agrarian,
who now is under a heavy tax load,
should not bear further burdens.
The governor also signed NOR
atorium bill. 1t prevents forfei-
lures of lands through failure to
make certain payments in accord
ance with contract of sales.
The measure does not relieve the
purchaser Of interest payments but
does suspend forfeiture because of
failure to meet interest until Dec
ember 81, 1884.
