HighlUay Department
To Employ Farmers,

Farmers and teams will be hired by
the state highway department to drag
secondary roads which will not sup
port motorized equipment during the
spring breakup, says department
announcement.
District maintenance engineers in the
state have been instructed to arrange
with farmers in their territory for wha-
ever help of this kind is needed. In
cluded in the 4,5OO miles of county
roads taken into the trunk system last
year are many miles not well enough
constructed to hold up standard motor
lied maintenance equipment when the
frost is coming out of the ground.
Local restrictions have already been
placed on many secondary routes, and
these must be obeyed to the letter if
the roads are not to become impossible
during the breakup, highway engineers
assert.

BuhL Meets Glencoe
at State Meet Tkarsday

Buhl high school will represent the
Seventh Region at the state high school
basketball tournament which win be
held at the Minneapolis auditorium
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The range team meets Glencoe, third
region champions in the second game
of the first round, the game to start at
4 p. M. Thursday.
Bull, the survivor of two weeks
tournament play in what is considered
the toughest basketball region in the
state, rates a good chance of coming
through the tournament to win the
championship. The rangers have nice
short shot attack which coupled with
a fine lang range offenSe should cause
opponents plenty of trouble. It Is the
long shooting of the Buhl team that
has been so effective in close games
and has carried them into the state
tourney. If the team is ION" they win
go far in their bid for the state title.

Appointment of a research
committee to conduct a study
of county governments and
make recommendations for
consolidation of departments
and activities into more econ
omical units is provided in a
bill which is being urged for
passage by the state legisla-
ture. An interim committee
appointed by the governor is
proposed to serve without pay
and draft such a bill. 1t is
easy to guess as to the makeup
OF the committee. The with

Considerable hulaballoo is
being made over the fact that
in some states legislation is
proposed requiring all students
in all colleges and universities
supported or aided by public
money, in whole or in part, to
subscribe to an oath pledging
allegiance to this country and
promising to uphold the con-
stitution of the State or Union.
Some of the students are OBJ
jecting to the proposal, stating
that it is a limitation to their
academic liberty. This "liber-
ty" stuff is being overworked
by a lot of wild soapboxers and
others. All public officials,
soldiers and sailors take such
an oath and why should a
student object to doing SO?

Not Quite So Funny.

The sport Of turning in fire
alarms as q matter of outdoor re-
creation took decided slump last
week when one Of the playful fell
lows, addicted to this dangerous
pasttme, was sent to the w0rkfarm

Municipal Court. Officer Marko-
witch made the capture when he
tracked the practical joker from
the alarm box to his home and
found the fellow in bed with his
shoes, overcoat and everything on,

A merry war has developed
between the chain stores and
the Independents and according
to bills introduced in the legis-

will be taxed out of existence

Houses Still At
Odds Over Major
Bills; End NearS

AUSTIN. Nov. 7. Up Major
issues confronting the legislature
neared final decisions Thursday al
the hree-quarters post Of q month
long session without a must" bill
delivered the governor.
House passage. 80 to A, placed q
package sale liquor control plan In
position for quick consignment to a
conference for final revision.
A conference adjusted old age
pension bill was filed in each house
Adoption OF the report would send
the bill to the governor.
Senate consideration was IN
order on a house omnibus tax bill
proposing levieS TO pay old age
pension costs. II had been riddled BY
committee amendments.
Representatives renewed debate on
a senate approved drivers license
bill. Advocates feared changes order
ed by the house would materially
weaken IL.
Although the house and senate
liquor bills conceded generally in
principle. there were numerous diff
ferences in detail.
Each would permit package sales
under private license and prohibit
consumption on the premises.
A tax Of 80 cents a gallon on
whiskey with smaller levies on wine,
beer and low alcoholic content liquor
and graduated license fees on manu-
facturers. wholesalers and retailers
was calculated to yield $4,000, 900 an
nually.
Existing beer statutes would be re-
enacted with the allowed alcoholic
content raised from 80 to four per
cent. The house plan would cut the
barrelage tax from $50 TO SIPS, a
reduction the senate rejected.
All Of the liquor tax revenue would
be assigned to pay old age pensions,
while one-fOurth Of the occupation
levies for licenses would be allotted
the school fund.
A similar division was provided in
the omnibus tax bill. which Senator
John s. Redditt OF Lufkin, chairman
Of the finance committee. estimated
would yield. as amended by the SEN
ate. only S6.500.O0O.
House sponsors variously estimated
it would raise from Sl3, 900 900 to
ST.. 900 900, while the comptroller
calculated the probable return az
s7.525. 800, including the portion as
signed TO the school fund.
In contrast Redditt estimated the
state needed at least SOS. 100000 ad-
ditional revenue to pay a minimum
Of sl0.000.000 for pensions, reduce q
general fund deficit Of S8.929.8 32
and meet increased general appro-
