CHUCK WIGGINS never had a
~ notable capacity for remem-
bering detail.
Take. for example, his last auto
motive error. He turned of Cap
itol-av al complete variance with
plans Of the Indianapolis Street
Department and wound up in a
spacious front lawn.
Police picked him up and
charged him with informal navi-
cation. They said Chuck, whose
real name is Charles Frederick
Virgins. had been drinking so
much his Judgment was a bit
hasty.
But Chuck. for the life Of him,
can't remember anything about
the case except that he intended
TO turn around and that when he
got in the front lawn the rear axle
Of his car broke.
Thus, there may be many de-
tails missing in this story OF the
time Chuck bought horse. To
him it's a nag or a clip-clop or
turtle, and he'll tell you he lost
$3.50 on the beast.
Chuck had just won fight here
in Indianapolis and had his money
with him. He and party went TO
a beer spot outside the city limits.
II was in day when beer spots
lived precariously in fear Of the
officials who we're supposed TO see
that no one drank beer. They sold
home brew.
NTERRILY, the Virgins party
WI arrived at this pastoral beer
spot. ~and Chuck saw horse in
the pasture. One thing led TO an
other and Chuck and the owner
made a deal. They would toss a
coin. Heads Chuck had the horse
for SIS. Tails, he had him for $50.
Chuck won, mad few more beers,
and forgot about the incident.
Several months later, the beer
spot man called Chuck. He was
moving, he said, and what did
Chuck want done with the horse?
The purchase of the horse was an
other detail that had, until then,
escaped Chuck. but he recovered
admirably and said he'd be after
the horse.
Then he remembered that he
had never been fond of riding
horses. that he scarcely knew how
to ride one. and that, in fact, to
get the horse back into the city
personally ne would almost need
blue print.
So he called on a friend who
liked to ride and together they
set out for the farm after having
previously reserved space for the
horse in the city's best livery
stable.
AS a matter of precaution
against the chill autumn winds,
Chuck had a couple of bottles of
home brew and then the party set
out for the pasture for the horse.
II was saddled and bridled and
Chuck's volunteer jockey mounted

Enabling Act Passed

The action OF the county CON-
missioners is made possible by an
act passed by the 1885 Legislature
which ended for all time the neces-
sity Of long Judgment suits to collect
legal bills incurred by the county
for poor relief.
The bonds will mature in five
years. The county auditor Will adj
vance money 20 the nine townships
out Of the bond sale to meet relief
claims as they fall due and the
townships i'm turn will levy taxes to
paw of The bonds as they mature.
The now law makes the county
directly responsible for all poor re-
lief bills.

Various educators, ministers, labor
leaders and other citizens are greatly
concerned over the future of the adult
education program in Minnesota. Last
year this program was part Of the
larger F,ERA set-up. This year, with
WPA assuming almost all the func-
tions of relief, many are beginning
to wonder as to the future Of this
very commendable work. 1t is recog-
nized by everybody that the unem-
ployed and all others who are inter-
ested in improving their condition
must have some outlet in study and
recreation for their talents. Shall
this outlet be along the character
destroying lines of unrestricted night
club life, gambling and vice, or shall
it be making efforts at study and
self-improvement? Citizens of Mime
sofa are anXiously awaiting the de-
cision of the new officials in power,
and earnestly requesting them that
they continue the plans and policies
of the past year. Politics should not
be allowed to enter into a matter as
important as this.

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

The light finally is beginning to
penetrate, even through muddled re-
dictionary thinking. Although the
sales tax fad has resulted in the
adoption of a general sales tax by "a
states, the weekly letter issued by the
Administrative and Research CorpOr-
alton, a news service for financial
houses and newspapers, published at
Wall Street, admits that general
sales taxes have a depressing influ-
ence on retail trade" Continuing,
the letter says: 'They involve added
expenses to retail companies for col
lection and accounting. increased
competition with firms in non-taxing
states, and, what is most important,
reduced consumer purchasing power.
Over 5,400 stores of the IL largest re-
tail companies alone are required to
collect sales taxes from their Gus
TONER'S" The letter concludes that
''the present period may be character
lied as one of experimentation" Is
it possible that reactionaries in Min
neSOta will soon see the fallacies of
the general sales tax idea and sub
scribe to the views of Governor Olson
that it is a vicious method of rails
ing money? Perhaps that is expect
ing too much.

Newspapers have announced that
State Auditor Stafford King, member
of the state executive council, is OPP
posed to matching regular federal aid
for highways by issuing bonds as au-
thOrized by the last Legislature.
If this opposition prevails in the
executive council, every county in
the state will lose its share of the
S15,000,000 highway construction pro-
gram planned for this year and next
by the state highway department.
This program can be obtained on a
basis of half federal funds and half
state funds. Without a federal aid
program, about all the state highway
construction possible would be that
done on hand labor, pick and shovel
basis, with emergency relief labor
funds. This work would have to be
concentrated around the large cities
where relief labor is available, and
would leave the rural districts with
virtually no trunk highway improve
ment.
The question of highway finances
was thoroughly and exhaustively in
veStigated by the Last Legislature
with the result that the legislators
authorized the executive council to
issue up to $12,0OO,OO0 of highway
bonds for the coming two years in
order to obtain Minnesotas share Of
federal road funds.

The State Executive Council has
been asked to make an emergency
appropriation of $125,OOO to maintain
certain war veteran relief activities
until July, 1886. Glen H. Davis. Sec
rotary of the Minnesota Soldiers
Home board, recently notified the ex-
ecutive council that unless the adj
ditiOnal money was forthcoming his
board would be unable to continue
relief work in 1,176 veteran cases
during the present fiscal year. In
cluded in these are 2O5 Civil war
cases, 236 Spanish-American war
cases, and 735 World war cases. A
total of approximately $4,000 will
be needed for these cases during the
fiscal year, whereas the estimated tax
receipts for this purpose will be only
about 100000. Hence, the emer-
gency appropriation was asked.
Favorable action by the executive
council was predicted.

The Federal Council of Churches of
Christ had better watch out or it will
be called a communistic organization
by the American Liberty League, the
new witch-hunting organization of
this country. The council, in the
Labor Sunday message broadcast by

that the Christians of this nation
fight for a new economic system, one
which does away with the greed of
the profit system. 1t also deplored
the suppression of freedom and the
lowering of living standards while

The State of Minnesota established
an all-time low record for the entire
United States in selling $4,000
worth of certificates Of Indebtedness
of the Department of Rural Credit
at a rate of .55 of one per cent.
This would indicate that the eastern
banks who bought this issue believe

that the finances of the state are in
such shape that they are willing to
loan their money at such low rate
that the state will only have to pay .55
of one per cent interest. This does not
indicate that the state is in the "red, +"

Examined by visiting professors Of

Georgetown University before an audi
ence in CASTOR Hall last night gave
an unusual exposition Of the complete
works of Quintus Horatius Flaceus,
known to thousands Of American coll
lege students simply as Horace, great
est Of the Latin lyric poets.
The program was arranged by Rev.
John e. Grattan, s. j., dean, Of the
College Of Arts and Sciences, in cele-
bration Of the bimillenium Of the
birth Of the Roman poet.
Translate into English.
Prof. joseph G. Dwyer, S. j., assisted
in arranging the program, which was
divided into sections, dealing with
Horace's Satires, the Epistles, the
Epodes and his Odes. After reading
selections in the original Latin. the
students translated into modern
English, and then were questioned by
the professors regarding their poetic
appreciation and the classical and
NEUROLOGICAL background Of the vart-
GUS works.
John L. keenan,. jr, Of Rochester,
N. Y, was examined in the .satires
by Rev. James J. Lynch, 8. j., pro-
fessor of the classics at st. Joseph's
College, Philadelphia. The epistles,
which enrich the poets moral re-
flections and his judgment upon lit
erature, were taken up by Francis A.
Finnegan Of Bangor, Me, who. as a
freshman, last year won the Horace
Medal for the best translation Of the
odes. He was examined by Rev.

processing taxes levied before the act
tempt by Congress to meet possible
legal objections to the original legts-
latlon.
To Pass on Amendments.
Some lawyers say the court can
pass only on the original law, but
Government attorneys have asked the
justices to consider whether the
amendments ratified" the initial leg
islation. In any event, the tribunal
will have an opportunity to pass on
the amendments in the rice millers
case.
The amendments provided that If
/ the act were held unconstitutional,
professors could not recover the tax
unless they proved they had not
passed the expense on to the con-
sumer.
Approximately $l,000,000, 900 Of
processing taxes has been collected
thus far, but an estimated $50, 900, 900
has been impounded by Federal courts
until the act Is passed on by the
high tribunal.
Fourteen briefs totaling approx
mately 275,000 words were presented
to the court to aid 1t In deciding the
Hoosac case.
For the next two weeks the court
will be busy each day hearing argu-
mentS. Then it will recess for three
weeks until January Is. That interval
will give it an opportunity to prepare
opinions. Thus final decision might
come at that time.
The opinion rendered In the case by
/ the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
at Boston is before the Supreme Court.
Here are some excerpts:
! The power Of Congress to regulate
interstate commerce does not authorize
it to do so by taxing products, either
Of agriculture or industry, before they
enter interstate commerce, or other
wise to control their production merely
because their production may tndi-
rectly affect interstate commerce"
1T is clear, we think, that under
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Schechter Poultry Corp.
case (Which held N. r. A. tnvalidD
Congress at the outset has attempt
ed to invade a field over which 1t
had no control, since its obvious pur-
pose, viz, to control or regulate the
production Of agricultural products
in the several States by the meth
DDS adopted in this act, is beyond the
power Of Congress"
1.-THE issue is not as the Govern
ment contends, whether Congress can
appropriate funds raised by general
taxation for any purpose deemed by
Congress in furtherance Of the gen
eral welfare but whether Congress
has any power to control or regulate
matters left to the States and lay q
special tax for that purpose.
IF Congress can take over the con-
troll Of any interstate business by q
declaration OF an economic emergency
and a public interest in its regula-
ton, it would be dif1cult to define
the limits of the powers Of Congress
or to foretell the future limitations OF
local f-government."
