LEGISLATIVE LETTER
amendment will be accomplished
By r. ". Hitchcock

amendment will be accomplished
by minority of the people.
It is a different picture in the SEN
ate. There the conservative ma
jority, more practiced in ruling, al
though keeping a firm hold of the
reins of power, divides its privileges
and responsibilities with the minor
ity. The senate minority holds i'm
portant chairmanships, it has been
entrusted with important investiga-
lions, and it is generally given fair
consideration.
Three times within the last week
the Governor fell out with his own
party, which, to tell the truth, is
being pretty precipitate with its
law-making. The Governor nomi-
mated a republican, a personal
friend, Harry Boyle, county attor-
ney, of st. Louis county, to succeed
]. G. Armson on the state tax COM
mission and the Governors spokes-
men in the senate fairly frothed at
the mouth; with haste almost un-
seemingly the farmer-labor house
voted to wipe the states liquor en-
forcement laws from the statute
books, but when the bill reached
the senate the governor fairly flab-
bergasted his followers with the
declaration that he would veto the
liquor repeal measure unless it was
accompanied with a regulatory act.
AS the tide of sentiment rose for q
cut in the automobile license that
would wreck the highway depart.
ment and the farmer-labor hencs
men were preparing to put it thru,
the Governor came out fatty for a
So to 81 reduction in the minimum
and no other cut whatever.
The highway system of Minneso-
ia is in real peril. Both license and
gas receipts fell off last year, fed
eral funds have been anticipated
and used up, new expenses and old
debts have been loaded on the trunk
highway fund, and the people hur-
rah for Secretary of State Holm's
nifty per cent cut in the license fee.
In any event, says Highway Com
missioner Elsberg, construction
during the coming two years must
be cut down 70 to 80 per cent, if the
fifty per cent license reduction is
adopted there will be less than
500, 900 for new construction, he de-
clares.
Here is something else for the
lover of good roads to think about.
Governor Olson has borrowed ST.
$4,000 from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for Minnesota
poor relief. 1t has practically all
been spent and the Governor has
applied for S650,O0O more. Other ap-
plications will be made. ALI this
money must be paid back from flu
ture appropriations to be made by
the federal government for road
work in Minnesota. The state trunk
highway fund must pay back the
100000 already borrowed or ap-
piled for, and it must also pay back
any other borrowings.
More than that, the cash we save
by a license cut will be lost, and
more, in the added cost of travelling
over poorer roads. We cannot have
our cake and eat it too.

BY Representative r. w. Hitchcock

Mounted on a steed of power, a
lusty young colt, hardly broken yet
to the bit, the dominant farmer-la-
Dor faction in the house of the for
ty-eighth Minnesota legislature is
riding hard and recklessly over the
political terrain. It stops not for
break and it stops not for stone"
and 1t votes without reason when
reason it has none. It has had a
couple of bad spills, when it rode
recklessly at dangerous hurdles,
but for the most part it has sat firm
in the saddle and ridden ruthlessly.
It has stubbornly refused to
shorten the legislative session, it
bitterly denounced nepotism when
it was on the outside looking in,
but now that it is on the inside
looking out it blithely embraces the
damsel, it deliberately denied a
seat to a man chosen by the people
and seated instead partizan of it's
own, and last week it added to it's
petty crimes and misdemeanors by
spurning a plea for tax relief one
day and on the next stubbornly de-
claring for minority rule.
The farmer-labor majority of the
house, which SHES at that name
and prefers to be called the '1iber-
aP' majority, last week refused to
authorize an investigation into the
proposition of suspending for two
years payments due on ditch bonds.
These bonds are a heavy burden,
in the case of many counties an
impossible burden, and the state
has assumed some of them. The in
quiry proposed was to determine
whether the taxpayer might be
temporarily relieved Of this burden,
amounting to some hundreds of
thousands, possibly a million dol
lars. The liberal majority voted
loudly and strongly to refuse to look
into the matter; thus they smartly
slapped the conservative" minority,
which had proposed the inquiry-at
the expense of the misery of the
people.
Flushed with this victory the
nara r1dlng liberals, sans argument
and sans judgment, voted for mi
nority rule and for making it easy
to tinker with the fundamental law
of the state, the state constitution.
BY vote of 70 to A they passed
a bill to allow the constitution to
be amended by 80 per cent of those
voting on the proposition provided
the yes vote is also 40 per cent of
all taking part in the election. At
present it requires majority of
all voting at the election to amend
the constitution. During the past
Ia years, % amendments have been
voted on by the people, IL have been
adopted and II have been rejected.
If the new rule prevails experience
shows that Z out of every amend
ments proposed will be adopted.
It is fundamental that the basic
law of the state should not be
easily changed, and it is automatic
that the majority should rule, but
this act makes it certain that the
constitution can be easily amended
and in almost every case the

CROWN WITH YOUR CHILD
Brides For Good Marks

Joe opened the heavy front door
cautiously and peered in. The
coast was clear. Stealthily he tip
toed through the long hall toward
the stairs. But he was too late;
Ruth had seen him. What'd you
get, Joe? she called. His heart
sank. He had hoped to get the or
deal over with when he and mother
could be alone.
Come in and let's see your re-
port card, Joie, his mother called.
Joie fished among his books, pulled
out crumpled card and handed it
over with sigh. On it were two

checked at the bottom.
What did he get this month?
Ruth asked. Her tone implied, Of
course you can't expect much from
him. She read over her mothers
shoulder with an older-sister super
iority. At least he isn't flunking
anything, which is somthing.
Jaw, if I wanted to be q grind,
I could make all CAS-" too, "Joie
protested. Suddenly his face
frightened. "Say, Nom, will you
give me dollar for each "a I
make this year Dicks father does"
well, I like that, ruth put in.
II make AS all the time and new

AS you ought to get them all the
time, not just when you want some
money"
Mother reflected a minute. what
would you do with the money,
SOM" she asked.
I'D save it for new skates" Joie
replied instantly. Mother promised
she would think it over and give
him decision in the morning.
The next morning she wisely told
him that she wouldn't bargain with
him, but that If he brought half
his grades up to "B" in the next
three months, she would buy him
the skates. Joie, she knew, was
slow and found it hard to concen-
trate. His mental tests showed that
he was not capable of rising to the
top Of his classes like Ruthie or
Dick. If he tried too hard for
"A's" and didn't get them, he would
be more discouraged than ever. He
was already talking of quitting
school, and Dad had to explain at
regular intervals that one couldn't
be basketball coach, a hockey
star, a politician or musician
without working and studying hard
to prepare for it.
Rewards for accomplishments
she knew, are much sounder than
brides for anticipated performances
If, this time, she offered the induce
ment of a reward, he would work
hard for the next three months and
develop, thereby, better habits Of
study, and perhaps even an inter.
est in some Of his schoolwork that
would carry him through for the
remainder Of the year.
A dollar for each "A" this year
and next year it would be dollar
and half, and then it would be
money for going to the store and
filling the woodbox and drying
dishes, because that's the way brib
ing works. It isn't always cleal

AGAIN FARM RELIEF

Congress again wrestles with the problem of
farm relief and a new scheme, known as the "do-
mestic allotment" plan has been embodied in bill
which has passed the House It Is not likely to be
come a law during the present lame duck session
but some bill of sweeping nature will doubtless h
enacted by the forthcoming special session
It must appear to anyone who reads and tries
to understand the bill in its present form that it is
most complicated measure, and one that would re-
ouire an army federal inspectors and other agents
to administer How IL could be made effective with
out an enormous cost to the government and to the
consuming public Is hard to understand.

The Reforming Age

Mary Louise, just a short time
ago, idolized her dad. Everything
he did was right, but suddenly she
began to find fault with him. She
wanted to choose his tailor, she cor
rected his grammar, she told him
|candidly that he ought to reduce
all this in the confident expectancy
that she could change him into the
picture of the man, who, for the
moment fitted her ideal.
Adolescent girls seem, to their
long-suffering parents, to go on
regular orgies of reforming their
parents. when these young reb-
els view us with their scornful-and
inexperienced eyes," wall one moth
er, 'it seems there is nothing about
us that is right. Anne wants me to
do my hair differently and she
wants to put all the furniture in the
house in different places!
One father, writing in a current
magazine, has some sane sugges-
tons to help fathers over this I'M
comfortable period. ITO little
girl her father is a hero" he points
out, "but when she grows up, she
tries to force his. feet of clay into
dancing slippers. Instead of giving
up her conception of Dad, she tries
to make him over into the picture
which she has enshrined in her
heart. It is with great reluctance
that our daughters give up their be-
lief in Santa Clous, Prince Charm
ing-and Perfect Fathers"
He goes on to hint that although
| it may not be pleasant to have one
woman in the house who is not
afraid to point out all his shortcom-
ings, still it may not be bad thing
for father, since, man being natur-
ally stubborn, daughter cannot
make him over, anyway. As for
daughter, it is infinitely good for
her to learn that men are entirely
human, with very human short
comings. Tt will serve to wean her
from differentiation as well as
from the belief that there is some
where in the world another para
gon like her father.
( 1T is during this critical period
that the real foundations for COM
partnership between father and
daughter are Laid" he concludes.
"Our daughters first idolize US, then
criticize us, and finally accept us
for what we are. After they've
picked US to pieces, we can settle

Just what constitutes a bride.
"Give that toy to your little sister
or I'll tell Santa Claus" or eff you
sit still for ten minutes, I'll give you
a piece of candy" or 'if you're
good at Mrs. Jones dinner, i'll give
you money for the movies" are
brides.
"a surprise treat for little boy
who was extra good today" or "A
visit to the zoo because you remem-
bered to do things for grandma
when she was here without being
told" or "a new toy because you
gave your engine TO poor Tommy
Tenement" are rewards, unexpect-
ed, not worked for, not bargained
for not regular, just rewards as they
occur in life and worked for only
as we all work for them.

at the wheels. But don't shunt the
whole responsibility Of household
onto these immature shoulders. The
object is that daughter shall have
q chance to try out her own ideas,
shall gain valuable experience, and
that experience shall be entirely
pleasant.
Mother can help keep the wheels
going by laughlingly accepting a
temporary position in the house as
a subordinate, quietly helping with
the hard work and making few
suggestions. Here is a splendid
chance, too, for her to look ahead
and begin to prepare for those rel
atively vacant years when the chill
dren will be gone by building up
interests outside of the nome.
