Both Houses Are Tied Up Until
7 O'clock Saturday
Morning

st. Paul, Jan. 6-(F)-Minnesota' S
seventh special legislature ran into q
last-minute jam over liquor taxes
carly Saturday and after long fruitless
hours Of wrangling between house and
senate conference committees finally
reached compromise and adjourned
until noon Saturday.

by a regulatory liquor act and q ST.
700, 600 relief program.
Almost six hours elaboration be-
tween conference committees Of both
houses were required to reconcile
sharp differences Of opinion on
whether 80 per cent beer should be
taxed.
The upshot OF the division Of senti-
n1ent was that 80 beer would be taxed
81 q barrel and beer Of greater alco-
tolic content at 81 barrel, which,
with q scale Of liquor taxes, is esti-
mated to net the state $4,000 900 an
nually. This money for the next year
and q half will be the backbone Of the
administration relief program.
Major issues the administration
succeeded in getting enacted into
law, were:
A private sales plan for liquor con-
troll with sale Of both bottle and drink,
safeguarded by local option, with q
liquor commissioner In q supervising
and regulatory capacity.
The $4,000, 900 relief program for the
next year and half.
A liquor tax law.
On the other hand, the legislature
refused to pass the following meas
ures advocated by the governor:
A Minnesota recovery act patterned
after the MIRA.
A state dispensary liquor control
system.
A bill submitting as q constitutional
amendment. the state dispensary plan
to the people for . vote at the 1894
general election.

Reported by n. P. Ry.

shown . substantial increase IN the
past six weeks on the Northern Pa.
cific lines, according to Thomas Allen,
passenger agent Of the N. 2. here.

q year ago which represents an In
crease Of ~ per cent In money. The
increase, Allen said, was due to q
great extent to the decrease In pas
senger rates recently inaugurated BY

senger business has been noted 1t
every station along the line, he said.
Freight business has shown an In.
crease Of from 10 to is per cent over

Trotskyist Legends Are Disbroved
By Stain in October Revolution

TROTSKYIST legends about the
presence of a right wing" in
the Bolshevik Central Committee
are forcefully disproved by Joseph
Stain in his latest work, The Oc-
tober Revolution" just off the In
ternational Publishers press.
The volume is a collection of
speeches delivered and articles writ
ten in the course of the revolution.
They date from November 1918 to
December 1927.
A typical example of Stains re-
lentless logic is his speech before
the Plenum of the Communist
Fraction of the All-Union Central
Council of Trade Unions. One by
one Trotzkyist assertions crumble
before the sledgehammer blows of
the foremost disciple Of Lenin:
"Comrade Trotsky is wrong when
he declares that during the Korni-
low days section of the leaders of
the Party displayed tendency to
form a bloc with the defencists to
support the Provisional Govern
ment," Stain declares. This has
reference, of course, to those same
alleged Rights who are disturbing
Comrade Trotsky's peace of mind.
Comrade Trotsky is wrong, since
documents are in existence, such as
the central organ of the Party OF
that period. which upset Comrade
Trotsky's assertions.
"Comrade Trotsky cites Lenins
