Few Clues Left in Lightning

Minneapolis, Jan. Eight gang
sters who rraided the Milwaukee
railroad transfer clerks office last
night and escaped with three sacks
of registered mail obtained mot
more" than 100000 in actual cur
rency and an undetermined amount
of bonds and negotiable securities,
it was announced today.
1t was one of the largest hauls
of actual cash ever obtained by
bandits in the northwest. The cur
rency and bonds were shipments by
three Minneapolis banks and the
Minneapolis Federal Reserve bank
to banks at Red Wing and Winona.
Mimi, and La Crosse, Wis.
Postal inspectors said there was
no way of telling what the total in
bonds and negotiable securities in
cluded in the loot would be until a
thorough checkup has been made.
The bandits apparently made a
clean escape, leaving little in the
nature of clues for postal inspec-
tors to work on.
There was every indication the
robbers had reliable information
about the movements of currency
to and from the city.

so Per Cent Cut
Secretary of State Insists Auto
License Fee Should Be Cut
In Half

st. Paul, Jan 2.-Reductions Of
80 per cent in motor vehicles regis
tration taxes and in penalties for
delayed registration will be recon-
mended to the incoming state legis-
lature by Mike Holm. secretary of
state.
These recommendations, Mr..
Holm said in the report which he
completed Friday for presentation
to the legislature when it convenes
Tuesday, are based on converse
tions with motor owners and on
letters coming In to his Office.
The suggestions for savings to
motor vehicle owners are carried
throughout the report, which takes
up in detail the various levies inn
posed on owners, including fees for
trailers, duplicate plates, dealers
licenses, ain transit" plates for
dealers and fees charged non-resi-
dents.

State Budget Is
Cut Eight Million
If Legislature Follows Suggestions
State Levy VIII Be Reduced
80 Mills

st. Paul, Jan. 3-A two-year state
buget of $35, 6O0, 900, representing a
slash of 100000 from the APP
preparations of 1881 and calling for
q $9.500,000 cut in tax levies, was
completed Monday by Mrs. Jean
Witch, state budget commissioner.
The proposed expenditures, set
ting up economies in governmental
functions not equalled in a decade,
will be submitted to the state leg
islature, which opens Tuesday. Cop
les will be in the legislators hands
as soon as the estimates are in
printed form. /.
Originally set at $4,000, 900, the
state budget, Mrs. Witch said, was
found to be amendable to shifts and
replacement Of funds so that the
draw on the state revenue fund
could be eased up. These shifts,
she explained, would have the eff
feet of cutting out several levies
totaling 80 mills. In two-year
period, the total saved to taxpayers
would be $4,000 on that basis,
she said estimating the possible
tax levy reduction under her pro-
gram at 6 mills for the two years.

placement win reduce the budget

Quoting District Meetings-
Dinner At Palmer House

A Court of Honor is planned for
here during the Scout Anniversary
week Of Feb. 9th to 14th, the exact
date for which has not yet been de-
termined. The boys have been look
ing forward eagerly to this Court,
for they have accumulated quite a
number of awards which they will
receive at this Court.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Sank Valley District Committee
will be held next Wednesday even
ing at a six o'clock dinner at the
Palmer House. This dinner is open
to the public and all who are in
terested in Boy Scout work are
urged to attend. The District Com
mittee is functioning as well as
possible under circumstances
but one of the members of the COM
mittee suggests that the results
would be much more satisfactory If
all those interested in Scouting
would attend at least part Of the
meetings, and voice their suggest
ions at the meetings. In no other
way can the Committees action be
intelligent, and for the best inter-
est of all. This same member also
states that he will introduce a

A new economic crafts birth 10

the st. Lawrence-Great Lakes wat

It revived business hopes of IS

Incidental benefits, employment
of thousands of men in carving

harbors at lake ports now limited
to fresh-water commerce, struck
home with force to thousands now

Highway Work Crippled
Teapot Tempest Over Child
Welfare Department

When the Stearns County Com
missioners met for organization
Tuesday morning Ferdinand Borg
mann, of Sank Centre, Fifth Dis
trict, was the only old member left.
Joe Kalkowiski, First District, St.
Cloud, returned to the board after
an absence of four years. Mr.. Kali
kowiski was elected chairman.
The new board appeared to have
a well defined economy program. It
was apparent from the opening
minute that the extensive highway
program which has been carried on
for years would be curtailed but no
one hardly expected that the de-
partment would be abandoned en-
tirely, yet that is what has been
done. Each job will be let by con-
tract. There is strong sentiment
in the commission to offer the coun-
tvs complete bodybuilding mach
merry for sale.
The salaries Of deputies and
clerks in all county offices were
reduced.
AT Tuesdays meeting of the
board the Child Welfare Board
came in for much discussion. There
is considerable opposition to the
Board and its executive secretary,
Mrs. Emma Moynihan, of this city.
There is also, a preponderance of
support from some of the best
known individuals and organize
ton in the County. Some of the OPP
position comes from those who are
not thoroughly familiar with the
work; more comes from people who
have real or imaginary grievances.
The Board reduced the appropria-
ton $1,000 annually.
The county publishing will be
handled in the same cooperative
manners as for several years, the
