The State Department OF Conserva-
ton and the United States Forestry
Service will cooperate in their forest
management program in northern
Minnesota. This is assured as result
of recent correspondence between E.
". willard, Conservation Commits
sioner, and E. w. Tinker, Regional
Forester, Milwaukee. Both the Fed
eral and the State forestry service are
to undertake land acquisition pro-
grams to consolidate their holdings.
A House member at the special ses-
sion was delivering quite an Grafton.
Just as he reached his stirring eli
max 1.-THE hungry mouths at home and
what not we glanced over his legis-
lative audience. One of the represen-
tatives was having hard time of it
over a cross word puzzle; number of
heads were buried in the home news
papers; some dozed and made noises
doing it, while the doomed ceiling en-
gagged the attention of not a few.
What oratoryi What waste of effort.
The number of applications denied
by the Commissioner of Securities
during 1888 for the sale of securities
shows that all applications were care
fully scrutinized to prevent mulcting
of the public by wildcat stock sales
men. OF lis applications made, 80
were denied, 81 granted, s dismissed
and 10 cancelled.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension is fast establishing a
reputation for getting its man." The
latest man-hunt victim is Cyril Wool
ridge, bank bandit, captured in Min
neapolis by Operative William Conley
after a six-month chase. Woodbridge
confessed to Melvin Passolt, Bureau
Chief, to bank robberies at Russell.
Ihlen, Chandler, Hampden, Atwater
and Sank Center, all during 1888.
Senator Rockne has added new
one to social and economic doctrine.
Attacking Governor Olson's human
rights philosophy of government, the
veteran state senator says in effect
there is no such animal-that there
can be no protection of human rights
without first protection of property
rights. And that brings us again to
the doctrine of property rights being
supreme, of which Senator Rockne is
a staunch defender. OF course, fifth
grade child can detect its specious
asoning-sophistry. But why do
these defenders of property rights al
ways, in their public utterances, con-
Germ themselves with the plight OF
the little fellow when in reality they
are playing the game, unwittingly or
not, of the big fellow?
A total Of AL banks in Minnesota
which applied for deposit insurance
through the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation have been accepted.
This means that deposits in this state
totalling S175,000,000 are now fully
insured. The big banks are not so
hot for the insurance, but Commits
sioner of Banks Elmer Benson is
strong for it, because it protects the
little fellow. Deposits up to $4,000
are insured against all losses up to
July 1, when this sum is increased
to $4,000.
The Minnesota Highway patrol will
make it its business in 1894 to well
come every nonresident motorist to
this state. New courtesy tags have
been prepared by John c. Arnoldy,
chief of the patrol, to be handed to
out of state drivers cars.
The Temperance Educational bill
was the first liquor measure to pass
both houses. Most of the legislators
agreed that system of instruction
relating to temperance be taught in
our public schools. By impressing
upon fertile young minds the dangers
of liquor, we will be doing much for
the cause of temperance.
After all this talk and hullabaloo
about diversion of funds in the Divis-
ion of Game and Fish, five state pub
lie examiners working over the books
and records of the Division for sew
eral weeks, failed to discover any evil
dence to substantiate these loose al
legations. The entire period of the
present Administration was covered
in the intensive audit.
The State Teachers college at st.
Cloud will receive several thousands
dollars in CWA funds as the result of
a legislative bill passed during the
special session permitting the immed-
late release of 81 900 from the school S
1934-35 appropriation for necessary
repairs. A number of local residents
will obtain employment. The big
Three" sponsored the bill.
Minnesotans can feel proud OF it's
exhibit at the Chicago Worlds fair
last summer. The Minnesota display,
along with those Of Porto Rico, Wis
consin and Florida were judged the
''class" Of the lot.
