The setting up of machinery for
registering Minnesota's stand on ma
tional prohibition repeal advanced an
other step toward completion when
the house passed repeal ratification
bill following closely the lines of the
one already passed by the senate.
Only one major change, advancing the
date for referendum from October
IL to September IL, was made, and
that change was advocated by pro-
ponents of the BILL
Liquidation of activities of the state
rural credits bureau through appoint
ment of two csnservators, was pro-
posed by Senator A. ]. Rockne Of
Zumbrota, chairman of the senate
finance committee. The plan, he said,
will be offered Governor Olson as a
means Of taking the bureau out of
its financial difficulties and avoid a
heavy tax levy to meet outstanding
Indebtedness.
A 100000 saving for tax payers
LII tiO hCAt INo ySdko was dppIOt0u
by the house. 1t was bill already
passed by the senate, and repeats the
act authorizing the comprehensive
University Of Minnesota building pro-
gram. The repeal nullifies the gen.
eral property levy made annually to

Junior Livestock Show, and to pro-
vide sleeping quarters for the young

Governor Olson signed the prohibi.
tion repeal bill, wiping from the sta.
tute books all but four of the old en-.
forcement acts. Those repealed are
replaced by the new enforcement act
already passed.
Replacement guarantees in specific

and exemptions will be constitutional
factors of safety and sanity in income
its way. This became apparent as
the senate tax committee gave it's ap-
prevail, with far-reaching amendment
to the bill providing for a constitu-
tional amendment as basis for the
income tax. The committee took the
bill already passed by the house and
substituted for its principal section
stipulations providing for: Alloca-
tion of income tax proceeds entirely
to school districts, with the proviso

$1,000 for heads of families, with 5000
additional for each dependent. A
maximum rate not to exceed five times
the minimum rate.
The unemployment insurance bill
was tackled by the house. and mem
