 Under the c;mouflage of economy the Fairbanks News Miner launches broadsde agamst Alaskan haolo broadcast service which, it charges IS supported oy subsidy.

 Evidently the NewsNIiner does not know that this radio broadcast service is at the call of the Territory at all hours for the purpose of broadcasting calls for help when an arpana is overdue; when some one may be m distress that they are daily the recipients of official ports dealing with weather, aiding the sick and bringing gladness the hearts o hundreds in the ouands With their music and announcements.

legislative
letter
By r. w. Hitchcock,
Representative 61st District.
Jig-Saw Legislation
Safety for Banks
st. Louis County Affairs
Mrs. Witch Acts
Date for Adjournment

The vagaries, uncertainties and ir-
responsibility of the Minnesota house
of representatives of 1893 is strikingIy
Illustrated by unanimous action on one
day to approve loans from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to the
state and to solicit further loans of the
same nature and by action two days
later condemning all Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loans and demand
ing their cessation.
Three members of the house staged
an 'off again, on again, gone again"
stunt when they signedpas co-authors
of bill on one day, begged by motion
that their names be expunged as authors
the next day, and on the day following
prayed to the house to be permitted to
climb back on the bill again.
Other Antics
During the same week that the house
spoke the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration fair in one breath and damned
it in the next, that body hastily sus-
pended its rules and passed a bill with
little or no consideration. Hardly had
the vote been announced when the
house decided that it had made a mis-
take and reconsidered its action. Four
times in succession it put on this
identical performance, until the packed
galleries grew dizzy and even the men,
bers themselves began to wonder where
they We're at. During the same crazy
quilt week of now-you-see a law and
now-you-don't, the house, upon plea
of urgency, unanimously approved bill.
By night it had serious pains Of mis-
givings. Next day it reconsidered, and
it took full dozen of amendments to
put that bill into shape for reenactment.
That same mad-house week saw a bill
passed upon quick moving impulse, and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-03-10

there in forceful opposition. The
miners said they had been compelled to
pay % millions in taxes in the big town
In ten years, but the village folk came
right back with the showing that the
mines had dug up 252 million tons of
iron ore in the town at a profit of
S1.50 ton. The miners retorted with
long list of fat salaries paid by the
village, whereupon the villagers de-
manded to know if Charlie Schwab
didn't get bonus, in addition to a
humping big salary, of something like
$l,600,0O0. Members of the legislature
from down state got an ear full. Out
OF the ruck emerged the fact that a
grevious injury had been done to many
people, but who is to blame and how TO
remedy it is the question.
Profitable for the State
During a discussion of a bill to
Withdraw from sale all state lands
which contain peat the charge was
made that Minnesota had been robbed
Of most of its natural resources. :"
Authors Of the peat bill in their anxiety
to save to the state its last remaining
natural resource" and in their indig-
nation over the despoilations of the
past, charged that the state had lost
$12 ,000,0 900 in the rape of the Mountain
Iron mine. DR.. Folwen in his History
of Minnesota so declares, they stoutly
asserted. In this they are entirely
mistaken. State Auditor Bob Dunn
once made such statement; it was
investigated by Minnesota legislature
and completely disproved. The state
never had title to the Mountain Iron
mine. The truth is that Minnesota has
never been despoiled of pound of its
iron ore. That resource has been the
best conserved and has yielded the state
the largest return of any of its natural
resources. Minnesota today owns every
foot of iron ore lands to which it ever
had title. One small tract of worth
less" Northern Minnesota cut-over land,
which it accepted in lieu Of an agri-
cultural tract in Southern Minnesota,
has already yielded millions and will
in the end net the state trust funds
more than s2o,0OO,OOO.
Sees Its Finish
The legislature sees its finish; it will
adjourn sine die on April 10. 1t paused
last Saturday for the Inauguration at
it viii give way next week
for the day of the township elections.

sent to the senate; the senate amended
the bill and sent it back to the house;
the house silently accepted the amend
ment and passed the bill the second
time; next day the bill was found to
be seriously wrong. was reconsidered,
amended again, and passed the third
time; the following day they discovered
that the bill was all wrong, so they made
it all over, and passed it for the fourth
time Some say that the thing is no
good now.
Outside of these incidents the house
had a good week, and assurance was
voiced by various and sundry members
of the house majority that 1--WE are
further ahead at this time than in any
previous session of the legislature"
Maybe It's Catching
Some have thought that perhaps the
antics of his faithful but freakish house
somewhat upset Governor Olson. Any
how it was the same week, or there
abouts, that the Governor went down
town and made a speech that had
something in it about the senate and
peanut politics" The next day the
Governor journeyed back up WabaSha
Hill and apologized to the senate. So
the papers said. The next night, or
maybe the next, he climbed the marble
stairway to the second floor and missing
his way in the maze of hearings" there
going on or preferring a more friendly
place, got into the house highway in
vestigation instead of the senate prob
ing; called upon to say something he
said "rebuke" to the supreme court
for handing down political decision
in the highway case. So the papers
said Warming up to the subject he
went over the senate highway investi-
cation and denounced that undertaking
as a political move" So the papers
said BY that time it began TO be ap-
parent that everybody was in politics
in the government of Minnesota ex-
cept the Governor.
Everybody Happy at Last
But all's well that ends we'll On the
very last day Of that memorable week,
at high noon, so the papers said, Gov
ernor Olson evolved a plan to make
the banks of Minnesota safe He quick
ly wrote out the idea in bill and sent
it UP to the senate; the senate passed
the bill with only one dissenting vote;
the house, eloquently urged to show up
the senate, passed the bill with not so
much as a single mo-; the Governor
signed the bill and at 2:30 p. m, it was
snugly filed away in the archives of the
secretary of state, a full fledged law
with a brand new record for speed.
That night Governor Olson beamed in
all the papers and commended the
legislature for its cooperation with the
banking department and with me.
Thus a week of precipitate hastings
ahead and hurried changings to reverse
gear, week of scolding and apologizing
and spanking and commencing was
finally brought to peaceful close and
everybody was happy.
It may be that the unsteady gait Of
the Minnesota house of representatives
last week was due to the fact that

Through the noise of the rumbling
traffic came the screams of a terrified
mother. Her child had been added to
the toll of auto accidents. The driver
of the car had been drinking. An in
nocent life snuffed out by Driving
Fool
Laws in most states require that the
driving license be removed when this
condition exists. That law should be
enforced to the letter. I also recon-
mend prison sentence in addition
to a removal of license The drunken
game of automobile driving has gone
too far
Many drunken drivers have been fined
and warned not to do it again. Think
Of i'll A drunken driver running up
and down the streets and highways and
endangering the lives of people, set
down with only a fine. Stop himl
Send him to prison. It's the only
answer.
Let us remove this type of reckless
driver. Let us make the highways safe
for our children.

MENINGITIS IS
SPRING DANGER
Doctors Warn Against Menin'
gifts as Typical Spring
Disease Hazard.

Epidemic meningitis is cited by doc
tors of the Minnesota State Medical
Association today as a typical spring
disease hazard which parents, teachers
and doctors should be on the look out
for in the next two months.
AN unusual number of reported
cases in one or two Minnesota localities
warrants warning that meningitis,
while comparatively uncommon dis
ease, is sufficiently serious to deserve
special watchfulness," the doctors de-
clare in this bulletin. Deaths occur
in approximately so per cent of cases
and often there are unfortunate after
effects.
THE disease afflicts more children
than adults" they say, land any illness
with fever, whether or not it shows the
typical symptoms such as rigidity of
the neck, should be reported to the
doctor Immediately"
Every measure enforced in the case
of any grave contagious disease should
be Immediately enforced on any sus-
picion of meningitis, the bulletin fur
Their declares. In any case, children
should be kept away from sick people
no matter what they complain of and
strict attention should be paid to the
hygiene of frequent hand washing and
care as to PREPARATION of food.
In many respects meningitis closely
resembles infantile paralysis, both in
the first symptoms and in the way it
spreads" the doctors say. I'm both, as
in a good many other diseases. there
are undoubtedly healthy carriers who
go about with the meningococcus in
their nose and throat discharges though
they are not themselves sick. During
an epidemic, nearly the whole adult
population may be infected while only
a small number, something like one per
cent of those who are infected, actually
become sick with the disease"
The anti-meningitis serum that is
available from the Department Of Pre-
ventable Diseases of the State Depart
ment of Health is regarded by state
health authorities and by the medical
association Representatives in this bull
letin as the only effective treatment for
the disease. Its value depends, how
ever, both upon its prompt use and
upon the method by which 1t is adj
Modern procedure demands
that it be introduced as soon as pos
Sible in the course of the disease and
that it be administered directly into
the brain to be of the greatest use in
saving life.

rules committee chairman and majority
leader, together with Representative
Mark Nolan, wit and orator, who had
just concluded the most eloquent sob
speech of the session which won much
admiration but no votes, and Repre-
sentative Joseph Kodak. after a par
ticularly long period of abStaining from
splitting and suffering following a par
ticularly violent outbreak, went off to
the Inauguration at Washington and
left the house leaderless. Their alb
sence almost, in truth, wrecked the
legislature, for they went of and forgot
all about a joint rule of house and
senate setting dead line for the in
PRODUCTION of bills. But vice-chairman
of rules, Representative Emil Youngdahl
was equal to the emergency. He circu-
lated a round robin at the eleventh
hour of the last day of the week and
extended the time. If it hadn't been
for him about thousand bills would
have died a-borning. Members with pet
measures still undrawn and unin-
troduced cannot be too thankful to him,
but if the people of the state ever get
wind Of it they will hang Emil in efigy.
At 1t Again
ST. Louis county, which washes more
dirty linen in Saint Paul, than does
even Hennepin county, was at it again
last week. 1t dragged the biennial urge
to divide st. Louis county, and other
internal dissentions, which forever exist
between Duluth and the Iron Range,
through the best part of two days, and
then it put on one of the real shows
of the session, hearing on a bill to
right the wrongs of North Hibbing"
When the mining company moved
Hibbing more than ten years ago it left
behind the old town, now known as
North Hibbing, which in its loss and
decay and desolation has become
fostering sore in the side of the biggest
village of the state. Members of the
municipal affairs committees of senate
and house journeyed to Hibbing ten
days ago to view the remains. They
must decide about bill to permit Hib-
bling to buy North Hibbing. Two years
ago a hearing on similar bill re-
suited in the exhibit of twenty-five
widows from North Hibbing, but this
year the big village just sent down its
district judge, its mayor and its Cham
Der of Commerce president. The
general managers and the attorneys-in-
chief of the mining companies were
