4 Great Victory.
Taking it all in all. it was the
greatest victory ever won by the pro-
gressives of Minneapolis. In no prev

Van Lear. elected in 1916. and Will
liam A. Anderson. elected in 1881.
There have also been FarmerLa-
borites on the Board of Education,
Park Board. and Library Board. The
City Council has for the past twenty
years had a fair representation from
the Farmer-Labor group.
The new City Council will have Ia
out and out FarmerLaborites and two

 Indication that members of the Board have opposite viewpoints followed recent speech of s. Clay Williams, chairman of the board, in which he said the MIRA should be continued on temporary basis, substantially without change. Other members questioned as to whether this speech represented the board said emphatically no. but said they interpreted the differences as the natural outgrowth of healthy ar gument between men of strong op- inionS.

That Is Evidence State h. tends to Again Place
 Be fore Jury

PENNINGTON, N J.. Jan. 2l.- The picture of Bruno Richard Hauptmann lurking about the Lind burgh estate at the time of the Kidnapping will again be placed before the jury as the state drives in the final evidence against the defendant. t.s
 It was announced last Saturday night that the state plans to keep two parallel lines of testimony before the jury.
 The state will concentrate on the theme of money in an, effort to show Hauptmann got all of the ransom money and win keep bring ing up testimony that Hauptmann was near the scene of the crime.
 The prosecution thus hopes to Keep the jury's attention directed both at the beginning and ending Of the crime.
 Last Saturday night it was said Willard Whited, lumberman and neighbor of the Lindbergs, will re- late how he saw Hauptmann roam- ing about the Lindbergh estate a few days before the Kidnapping. Two others. it is stated, will iden- tify Hauptnnann as the man they saw near the estate.

 Under the law $100 worth of assessment work must be done each year. Thousands of these claims are scattered throughout the Ter ritory, it was explained by MT. Scott, and not only will working cut assessments lead to greater de- velopment but where the holder does not do the work himself he must hire some one thus giving employment to large number of men, .7 ns Ys . ne
 f3s Single House Proposed
 The proposal for single house of the Legislature was introduced by Joe Green of Hyder in the form of a memorial to Congress. It points out that original intent of two houses was for one to check on the other but in that Congress has final word on any action taken by the Legislature this is now be- lieved unnecessary and combining of the two groups into one would be saving in cost to the Terri tory and would facilitate speedier action. Under the present setup, the memorial cites, three members of the Senate can prevent the passage of any legislation when a majority of the Legislators might favor it. Further, it explains, that those who may want to confer with the committee having under con- sideration some proposed legisla- tion must meet with a like com mittee in both houses. Otter bill will be before the committee in the House long before it gets to the Senate and vice versa. Thus anyone wishing to discuss the mat ter in committee often must wait days or weeks at heavy personal cost before both groups can be contacted on the same matter.
 Same Number
 The Green memorial would pro- vide for the same number of mem bers of Legislature as at pres ent, all in one body to be known as the Senate. They would be elected for four years, thus elimin- ating the election every two years of House members as at present.
 William N Growden of Ruby, brought in the bill fixing the limits on old age allowances. Under pro- visions of his measure both mini mum and maximum would be set at $50 per month for men and $40 a month for women. Under the prevailing status no minimum is fixed and the trustees can at their discretion allow up to $35 month for men and $45 for women.
 o. K. Deficiency Bill
 The House Ways and Means Committee, Lingo, Chairman, re- ported in favor of House Bill No. 8, the second measure providing for deficiency appropriation. It calls for $9,85O to meet deficiencies in the office of the Commissioner of Education, pay tuitions and transportation costs.
 The Fisheries Committee also turned in a do pass on House Joint Resolution No. 1, approving the various fish bills introduced in Congress by Delegate Dimond.
 The House will meet in the morning at II o'clock.

 The motion for a mistrial was made when Attorney General Will entz asked the witness. William E. Frank, if he knew Col. Lindbergh was interested in aviation.
