Danish Lutheran congregation was
held Monday evening in the church
basement and was rather we'll at
tended After the routine reports
were disposed of the president read
a written motion to the effect that
the church board sponsor the various
activities in the English language.
Adoption of the motion would have
abolished the present so-called Eng

considerable discussion both for and
against: finally it was decided to table
the matter until future date.

COmpere Lectures.

A good sized audience remained
after the radio" program at the As
sembly hall Wednesday evening of las.
week to hear Rev. Ralph Compere Of
Milwaukee, lecture in behalf of the
American League Against War and
Fascism." Mr.. Compere commenced
with saying that people were suppOs ed
to believe that we entered the World
war to save democracy" and to end
war; while the real reason was con-
tanned in secret cable from England
to the effect that if we wanted to
preserve prosperity we must enter the
war on the side of the Allies" And
that Wall Street had loaned bill
lions of dollars to the Allies which
might be lost if that side should lose"
The speaker also quoted U. S. Senator
Nye as saying: ''the world today is
closer to war than it was 80 days
prior to the World war;" He pointed
to the present biggest peace-time war
preparation in the history of United
States as we'll as the worldwide arm
ament race; stating that "the nations
are literally being plunged into an
ether war" He said the three reasons
for having war are: the economical
crisis, standard of living being forced
down. and necessity for world markets
increasing; and all three are created
by the rich industrialists. Rev. Com
pere referred very favorably to Rus
STA in illustration, stating that there
is no unemployment in Russia" and
that it is a deadly menace to CAPT.
talists to let such a nation grow" He
quoted many figures and percentages
showing that the rich continue to
grow while the masses constantly
sink deeper in debt. He urged
a local unit of the American League
Against War and Fascism" and term
mated his address with these remarks
I'VE believe in civil liberties for all,
not for the few. War is just beyond
the horizon. Our young people will
be slaughtered and their blood will be
on your hands if you don't do your
part to stop it," Immediately after
the lecture, Mr. COmpere invited the
young people to come to the front and
form an organization. There, how
ever, was net enough enthusiasm at
the time and nothing. was done. A
collection was taken to pay for Rev.

women voters in the state to do so
at this moment.
Women Are Prejudiced.
Senator Siegel was right when he
suggested that generally speaking the
prejudice against women existed in
their own ranks and not those Of the
men. 1t might be pointed out that
the women of his party, the Farmer
Labor women who yesterday spoke
for the Cravens bill, allowed their
own Farmer-Labor member, Laura
Naplin. TIE first woman to sit in the
Minnesota senate, to be removed from
it's ranks without raising a hand to
retain her there and then further
allowed a man who was not even of
their party to be elected to the state
office for which she was a candidate.
If that shows the political sagacity
necessary to legislation, it is an I'M
usual expression of it.
If the effort to elect women to the
lawmaking body of the state has to
be done in such a manner then 1t
is more than likely that they are not
yet politically fitted to go there.
Besides, the strategic position of
women as long as men are in the
majority in making a general mess
of government is immense have
such a splendid "out.'

son with the bill, and 1T will prob
ably be consigned to the oblivion of

The house civil administration COM
mittee was also considering legis-
lative reapportionment bill, that of
Representative Mark Nolan. This
bill calls for a mandatory amendment
to the state constitution but with two
houses and a reduction of members
to 1870. The argument in the house
committee ranged round the basis Of
the reapportionment. Every man
there wanted to know what would
happen to "my county" If any
county or any district has to give up
the tiniest bit of political prestige
in representation we shall be still
suffering from our large unwieldy
group of lawmakers, when the ice cap
again descends on this part Of the
world.
Expense Is Great.
There are so many legislators now
that they trip over each others feet
trying to get anything done. The
house especially is becoming almost
impossible to handle in debate. The
amount of time and expense, the gen.
eral speeding up with smaller group
would be incalculable-and most of
the members know this to be true.
The habit of considering state leg
| islation from the viewpoint of small
units: the county, the township, the
village, is apparently so ingrained in
Minnesota that the idea of consider
! ing the state as a whole, and to the
good of all these units, is impossible.
Every year, however, the demand for
some legislative reform grows strong
err, so perhaps by A. d. 1000 we may
do something about it. The Nolan
bill is now in the hands of a sub
committee which is headed by Rep
resentative Lee of Wright county who
is not generally considered to be a
reapportionment enthusiast.
DahIe.NOlan Duel.
During the lively discussion on the
bill there was nice little duel be-
tween Nolan and Representative O.
K. DAZZLE. who doesn't like the Nolan
bill. Said Nolan: Counties are a
mere creation, just a convenient SUBJ
division"
Said DAZZLE: Just a minute, my
dear friend, counties in this part of
the country were organized before
the state
Said Nolan: Eyes, I've heard that
before, but counties have no sover-
eighty: they could be legally wiped
out by the state, or they can be
combined and they won't suffer. Ac-
cording to your arguments we'll never
reduce this legislature
Talked down but not convinced
Representative Dahle turned his at
tention to his pipe and ignored the
Nolan attack.

NEW YORK, April 5-Railroad
leadership today had called upon
President Roosevelt to abolish his CO.
ordinator of transportation and al
low the nations railways to work
out their own salvation.
Speaking for the Association Of
American Railways, of which he is
president, John j. Pelley outlined a
three-point program before the New
York Chamber Of Commerce, which
he said would allow the railroads to
give good account of themselves. -
He urged these steps:
1. Withdrawal of subsidies from
other forms of transportion and
regulation Of them on basis COM
parable with that of the railroads.
2. Prevention of any legislation
increasing the cost of railroad oper-
alton.
8. Discontinuance of the transpor-

ton to the Association of American
Railways to see what can be done
for the carriers within the industry
itself.

Many Indiana school bus opera
tors are failing TO comply with Law
requirements for safety equipment
and operation Of their BUSES. D. F.

Mr.. Mitzner based his statement
on a survey being made by associa-
ton investigators, in an attempt to
provide more adequate protection
for l96S70 school children who
travel to and from school by bus
daily.
In certain sections of Indiana the
survey shows that few school buses
have the required lighting equip
ment, which includes a blue light,
one front and one rear. visible for
at least $50 feet. and red refectors
on the rear Of the bus.
The associations Investigations
have revealed the failure of entire
townships to cooperate with the

said.
Statistics collected in the Office of

unexpected rain falls in eastern
Colorado and western Kansas to-
day, another dust storm is very like
ly to take the air. Yesterdays
weather maps showed a wind-pro-
voking 1ow-pressure area over the
Denver region, which as it moves
eastward will strike the driest spot
in the United States. Dust will be
the natural consequence.
The northern plains, however, are
under comfortable blanket of late
snow, which stretches across most
of Montana and Wyoming and prac-
tically all of the Dakotas. There
should be no dust there.
