SERA Notes
The Arrowhead Grazing Adventure

The Arrowhead Grazing Adventure
in Retrospect.
The vast 1894 grazing project requir-
ing the removal of more than $4,000
head of cattle from the drouth counties
of the state to the northeast wooded
area by he Minnesota SIERRA Estate
Emergency Relief administration has
demonstrated that Minnesota in its cut
over lands from Brainerd to the Can
adam border, and from the rim of the
Red river to Lake Superior, possesses a
territory suitable for cattle grazing on a
large scale.
This is set forth in concluding re-
port by Mark ]. Thompson, who was
released by the University of Minnesota
to organize and conduct the undertake
ing. The northern farmers quickly
learned the fundamentals of successful
grazing husbandry; to hold shrinkage
down to minimum while attaining
maximum gains in weight. Many herds
of 800 or more showed increases as high
as 80 pounds for each animal.
A total of 47,211 heads were recovered,
or almost 81 per cent of the allotted
number. Out of every 1000 heads of
cattle released for grazing, 954 came
back, Is died and 81 were strayed Loss
from natural causes was Is per cent.
Only 81 per cent were unaccounted for.
Only a small fraction of the strays is
chargeable to theft.
Several thousand animals were as
signed to the transient camps for food
or placed at the disposal of rehabilita-
ton families. A portion was returned to
the FERA and the balance processed
for the SERA canning factories.
Never before, in the history of the
Northwest, had such an extensive mo-
bilization of resources of land and labor
occurred, to overcome an emergency.
The problem was attacked from two
angles; through the cattle buying oper-
ations of the federal government, and
through the decision of the SERA, adj
vised by its rural rehabilitation di-
vision. to locate the necessary feeding
grounds in the northern cutovers.
The actual number grazed was 49, 486,
distributed by counties as follows: Koo-

Relief ABUSES
TO BE PR0BED
County Attorney to Investigate
Duluth Case With One in
Seventh District.

Reports. of Misrepresentation in re-
lief cases have caused st. Louis county
officials to start Investigations of one
case on the range and a second in
Duluth. Names were withheld by the
county ERA committee as the cases
were referred to the county attorneys
office for investigation.
Serving notice that relief is only for
those in actual need, the committee de-
cided to push the two test cases after
listening to rampant reports of relief
abuse throughout the county.
In announcing the investigation, Leo
pold Fiske, county relief coordinator
cited several instances where relief
clients were receiving public aid after
misrepresenting their needs.
The range case was brought to the
committees attention by County Com
missioner j. w. Pasich, Bull, who re-
ported that a client received $40 worth
of feed, refused to work it out" on
county roads-the system under which
feed is distributed-an then sold it to
another farmer
Mr.. FiSke cited the case of family
head in West Duluth who received
$3.50 in relief grocery orders in the last
three months, and, in the same period,
earned $3.50 working for a private en-
ployer. The client, he said, denied
having employment.
There are several other cases just
like this" he charged.

teams missed free throws and then a

break on the tip-off and Nicholas

Gilbert loosed barrage of long shots
in the opening minutes of the final
period with Vucinovich ringing up two
baskets to narrow the lead of Ely, score
II to Is. Stupca's free throw cut the
count to II and 16. Starkovich raised
the Ely total to 18 with free throw

controlled the ball until the final gun
The Ely team outplayed Gilbert by a
wider margin than the score indicates
They easily sifted through their op-

baffled Gilbert and made them shoot
from long range. Although Nicholas

share of the scoring honors for Ely
it was through fine team play that the
victory was made possible. "Dingles'

second frame started but the locals
came back to snatch the lead and left
the floor at half-time with 10 to 8
advantage.
Both teams missed numerous set-ur
shots in the third canto which was
scoreless. Squirting in the final quar-

perate one-handed heave by Hammer
in the last minute was the only field
goal registered by Eveleth in the second
half.

Extension Planned for Transient
Relief system

In move to lessen overcrowding and
promote sanitary conditions in Mime
sofas transient camps, the Federal
Emergency Relief administration has
given preliminary approval to 1920, 600
improvement program, it is announced
by Oscar w. Behrens, Minnesota SERA
transient relief director.
The plan contemplates the establish
ment of six or seven camps, to absorb
the overflow from the 80 already in
operation or in various stages of con-
struction. In selecting the campsites
due consideration is given proximity
to work projects. Transient labor will
be employed in the construction, and
equipment and supplies will be pur-
chased in Minnesota. All activities OF
the camps are financed by the federal
government.

TWO PROBLEMS
OF CONCERN TO
THIS SECTION
Imports of Competing Com
modities Are Detriment to
Northern Minnesota.

Two problems of serious concern to
Northern Minnesota, the plight of the
numbering and newsprint industries as
a result of importations of foreign
manufactured goods, and the duty stu
alton for articles bought here by Can
adian visitors, are brought out in a re-
port compiled from records of the Du-
Superior district customs Office for
Representative G. A. DAZZLE, who will
use it in the Minnesota legislature in
their memorials to the U. S. Congress
on matters materially affecting this
part of the state.
Imports in this customs district in
1894 included 155,OOO,OOO pounds of
standard newsprint paper, $4,000 tons
Of sulphite and ground wood, $500
cords of pulpwood, 81 500 railroad ties
IA, 252 900 builders lath, 81 600 squares
of shingles, 70,5O0 cedar poles, 100000
cedar posts and 100000 board feet
of lumber. All of this material is en-
tered duty free, excepting the lumber
Pine and spruce pay duty of "a pei
1000 feet and poplar So.
Principal importing countries, &C
cording to the records of James L
Travers, district customs collector, are
Canada, Russia, Sweden, Esthonia ano
Finland. Estimates quoted in the re-
port to Representative DAZZLE show thai
production of the 1884 importations Of
pulpwood, ties and other raw products
that went into the manufacture Of
newsprint would require 1850 men fol
one year of 300 working days. To pro.
duce the logs for the finished lumber
| it would take about 1900 men working
seven months.
Owing to a flood of misinformatior
put out by well-meaning but misin.
formed representatives of different or.
carnations and flood of propaganda
put out by others fully informed but
financially interested, large part o.
the people right in the Arrowhead
country have the idea that the timber
resources of Minnesota are just abou
exhausted" the report to Representa-.
tive Dahle said.
Explaining the situation further
figures given by E. w. Tinker, Mil.
waukee, u. S. forester for the Lake.
states region, were quoted. Mr.. Tinker
said that the Superior National fores
contains more than 5000, 000, 900 boare
feet of raw material. In this fores
500, 10000 board feet for the market car
be obtained annually. ''This is equal tx
,000,O0 cords of wood and the Arrow.
head country should have an annua
payroll of 5000, 900 of industries using
wood as raw material" he declared.
In the other phase of the report con.
corning tariff regulations, it was shown
that last summer American tourists re.
turning to the United States at Inter.
national Falls and Pigeon river i'm.
ported goods valued at $49,014. AT In.
ternational Falls the figure was $19,37s
and at the Pigeon River port of entry
the total was $29,639 These computa-
tons do not include merchandise ur
to 500 which is brought in duty free
No record is kept of amounts under sos
but conservative estimates place this
at one and one-half times that ovel
the 500 allowable free of duty aggre-
eating about $122 500 last year.

SENATE READY
FOR DEBATE ON
PINK SLIP BILL
Democratic Leaders Battle
to Keep Tax Clauses
Off Repeal Act.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Sen-
ate Democratic leaders sought
weapons today to crush efforts to
transform the pink slip" repeal bill
into general tax measure.
Senators Robert NJ. La Toilette Jr.
prog, Wis.,, and James F. Couz-
ems (R., Mich), backed the move
ment to raise about $500, 200, 900 in
excise and income taxes.
The pink slip" bill, scrapping
publicity provisions in the income
tax law, was approved by the House
two weeks ago, and is scheduled
for Senate consideration today. 1t
is not a New Deal measure.
Il want the Senate to vote on the
straight question OF repeal" said
Chairman Pat Harrison of the Sen
ate Finance Committee. He said he
would resist any attempt to write
a tax program into the bill.
Tax on Ability to Pay
Senator La Toilette, who wants the
Administration to tax on the abil-
ity to pay" will seek to add to the
repeal measure a proposal to boost
individual income taxes. His plan
provides lowering of personal eX-
emptions and sharp increases In
levieSAin the higher brackets.
Under congressional procedure,
tax legislation originates in the
House. There was some doubt that
Senator La Follettes program would
be in order as an amendment to the
pink slip" bill.
Senator Couzens has been work.
ing on a proposal to levy a gradu-
ated tax on corporations earnings,
but whether he will have it in form
for introduction today was doubt
full. If not, he will submit it when
the Senate considers a general reve-
nue. bill later in the session.
Asks Drastic Additions
The Treasury Postof1ce supply
bill tops the pink slip" measure on
the Senate's calendar, but it was
expected to be disposed of quickly.
Senator Harrison was confident de-
bate would starr today on the repeal
legislation, although Senator Huey
P. Long was reported to be ready
for another attack on the New Deal.
Senator La Toilette, one of the
sponsors of publicity for income tax
returns, will lead bloc of so-called
Liberal" Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in a drive to enact even more
drastic provisions than exist in the
present law. He does not feel that
the pink slip" regulation goes far
enough in it's objective.
Democratic leaders are not con-
cerned about the bill President
Roosevelt has not expressed an
opinion on it, but is understood to
feel that Congress can do as it
pleases on the question.
