LEGISLATIVE LETTER
By r. ". Hitchcock

by Representative r. w. Hitchcock
Reformers, it would almost seem,
are like the famous Irish socialist
who was willing to divide every
thing until pigs were mentioned.
He demurred at the proposal to di-
vide pigs. He had pigs. So with
reformers. They are willing to re-
form everything except themselves
or at least some members of the
legislature are beginning to wonder
if that is not true. Since the legis-
lature began its 1888 sittings the
subject of salary reductions has
been much mooted, both within and
without the legislature. Members
of the legislature were somewhat
shocked one morning to find in the
st. Paul papers a vigorous declar-
alton from Mayor Mahoney to the
effect that he would not submit to
the reduction of the $1,000 salary
by so much as one jot or one title.
The mayor was earning every PEN
ny of the five grand, it appeared
and b'gosh and bgorrah, the peo-
pie, no matter how hard up they
were, were going to pay him down
to the last farthing. Mayor Ma
honey is a labor mayor, a reform
mayor, he is zone of the people"
and elected to defend and protect
them. But not by slicing of to
them any portion Of his quite COM
Portable salary!
A Nefarious Business
Both the house and the senate
have been wrestling with the pro-
benz of reducing salaries. One hum
dred ninety-eight members Of the
legislature are seldom agreed, but
upon the matter of reducing the
salaries of state employees, in or
der to somewhat relieve the tax
payer, they are pretty much of one
mind. The house appropriations
committee has plan to make all
state employees, from the lowest to
the highest, contribute something
toward tax relief. The committee
proposes a graduated scale of re-
auctions running from Ave per
cent in the lower brackets to thirty
per cent in the higher brackets. The
senate finance committee proposes
to distrub no salary of $1,000 per
year or less, but to cut all salaries
above $1,000 a fat twenty per cent.
The civil administration commit
tees of both houses are also work
ing on plans for salary reductions.
Disquieting rumors Of these plans
reached the ears of the state en-
ployees. Most Of them resigned
themselves to what they felt was
the inevitable, but not so with
some of the more resolute souls.
They got together and formed fly
ing wedge, moved IL upon the noase

appropriations committee and
sought to divide and destroy it's
unanimity. Joseph A. Poirer, assist.
ant attorney general, whose night
attack upon the rural credit bureau
office to which he had been ap-
pointed, but access to which he had
been denied, proved so successful,
argued before the committee
against any salary cut. Mr.. Poirier
was known to the committee, not
only for his facility in getting into
office, but by the boldness with
which he had declared his deterni-
nation to hang on to the flesh pots
thereof, for he it was who defied
an option Of brother attorney
general to the effect that the rural
credit bureau could not legally
make any more loans; Mr.. Poirier
flatly declared that the bureau
would continue to make loans just
as long as it could lay its hands
on any money to loan. So the
committee was curious to see and
hear Mr.. Poirier. They heard nlln
declare with vim and vigor that
salary reduction is uneconomic and
ought not to be attempted. About
thirty cents was all it would save
the taxpayer anyhow, Mr.. Poirier
said.
It was Knud Welfald, once a
member of the legislature, once
congressman, once a secretary to
the Big Three, bat now holding
down a $4,000 Office as member of
the railroad and warehouse COM
mission who really told the COM
mittee where to get off at. Mr..
Welfald has been a reformer from
the beginning and 1t was as a re-
former that he was elected by tine
farmer-labor party to the dignity
and prequisities of membership on
the railroad and warehouse COM
mission. But Mr.. Welfald vigor-
ously eschews any reform that in
wolves the reduction of his salary
or the salaries of other state en-
ployees. He scored the( whole sal
airy reduction scheme as "nefar
ious."

sofa into the realm of dictators nip.
Three banking bills, prepared at a
consultation of bankers with Cover
nor Olson and members of the leg
islature resulted in the enactment
in a single day of laws confering
upon the governor and the commits
sioner of banks the powers of the
dictator. Under these emergency
measures, the commissioner of
banks has the authority to make
rules and regulations for the open
ing and closing of all banks in the
state, and he may make one rule
for one bank and different rule
for another bank. He is invested
with powers, which, were he evilly
disposed, would make it possible to
ruin any bank upon which he might
cast a baleful eye. But the pur-
pose is good, not evil; the legisla-
ture deliberately voted great pow
ers, hoping and believing that they
will be greatly used.
Almost on the heels of the act
creating one dictator, the legisla-
ture set up second dictator, when,
under the swift compulsion of
emergency, it gave a blank grant
of powers to the states commits

Investigations
It always makes difference
whose OK is gored. Two years ago
the liberal minority in the house
launched Investigations of the ru-
raj credit bureau and the highway
department. They were probing the
enemy and they probed loudly and
joyously. This year, with friends
sitting firmly in office, the farmer
labor majority in the house is not
enthusiastic about Investigations.
Hush is the word and step softly
when you foot it. In the senate, it
is different. There the conservative
majority delights in thrusting sharp
sticks into the highway department
and the rural credit bureau, and
now it has sharpened a new stock
for the new conservation depart
ment.
The senate highway investigation
has developed one sensation after
another and has added point and
color to the supreme courts vigor-
GUS indictment of certain highway
regulations as an Invitation to
collision"
The rural credit investigation by
the senate has developed conditions
which ought to give the people of
Minnesota far greater concern.
Under both republican and farmer
labor control this experiment has
been badly managed. The waste
has been appalling, but the vesting
in an executive board. of uncon-
trolled power to plunge the people
of the state into debt is still more
appalling. The annual loss of the
rural credit bureau appears, from
facts disclosed at the investigation,
to be about 100000 a year; in adj
dition there is the loss of some
100000 in taxes on foreclosed
farms. The legislature does not
vote funds for the rural credit bur-
eau; it adds employees and in
creases salaries at will; it hires
and fires at it's own pleasure; it
borrows and spends as it pleases;
the people have nothing to say;
theirs only to pay.
The conservation department is
now. Outside of it's lamentable
quarrelling the significant fact
about it is that it shows every in
dication of an intention to spread
over all the terrain of Minnesota.
High hopes were entertained of it
when it was created; one thing is
now certain about tit is going to
grow like a green bay tree.
