A recent article in one of the metro
politan newspapers carried story
of various funds that were uneXpended
in the state treasury. The writer
chuckled over the fact that $4,000
was discovered which was set up by
the 1888 Legislature for a state-owned
automatic telephone system for the
Capitol group. The writer said that
the Fermentation Commission Adj
ministration & Finance rejected bids
on this telephone system because the
prices submitted were too high. The
facts in the case are that when bids
were called for. due to the influence
of the A. r. & T., manufacturers OF
automatic telephones were prohibited
from bidding, and no bids for this
type Of telephone equipment were re-
ceived. 1t Is also true that the agent
Of one of the automatic telephone
manufacturers made the original sur
vey for this modern equipment and
submitted the price, which was the
basis for the appropriation made.

The Legislature is practically unani-
nous in the opinion that real estate
must be relieved of it's excessive tax
burden. The conservatives, who spOn
sOr the tax limitation bill, want to
replace real estate revenue by i'm
posing a sales tax, which is a tax
on poverty. 1t is wellknown that
the sales tax. if passed, would be
vetoed by Governor Olson. The Leg
islature therefore finds itself in a
very difficult situation. Conserva-
tives may finally be forced to accept
the far-reaching program Of tax re-
form advocated by the Olson admin
istration.
The tax limitation bill mentioned
above was amended by Representative
Carl Eastwood to exclude from its pro-
visions properties containing iron ore.
1t is credit to the majority of the
conservatives that this amendment
was passed. Another amendment, Of
fered by c. A. DAZZLE of Duluth, would
have limited iron ore taxes to 2.25%
of the full and true value of the
property. 1t naturally had the COM
plete support of the steel trust, but
was defeated by a vote of IS to 9.
William Montague, Duluth attorney
representing the steel industry, made
effort to prejudice the committee in
favor of the mining companies, but

ment. DAZZLE, by the way. is chair

New Time Schedule ! PIeases Radio Fans
Time Extension Viewed With Enthusiasm By WALK
 Boosters Bigger, Better Programs Planned

, During the first week Of broaa- casting on longer daily sche.:- ule. WATR was the recipient O. scores, even hundreds, of favoratlc comments from members of the radio audience to whom "TEe Voice of Waterbury" has become q favorite station. To-day, as the station reaches the end of it's firat week of broadcasting on longc" hours, officials in charge are tre- mendously pleased with listener response.
 Listeners have even more 'n store for them than the excellent evening programs offered them by WATR as it began longer hours ct operation this week. George Duffy. station manager, announced to-da. that q number of new programs are being considered for the eve ming time that WATR had prom = ised a definite announcement on at least some of the new features within the next few days.
 In commenting on the response of listeners during the past week Mir Duffy said: "I, for one, knew that WATR had a large and inter- ested dAily audience but I must admit that 1 was completely aston ished by the Yay,in which lotters. phone calls and personal messages poured in all week Tong to con- graduate me and other members of the WATR staff on the fact that the commission at Washington had 1 chrtI1d time on the air. In any event, would have done my best to gi"c the radio audience programs which it likes in the evening hours but with the added incentive ot this marvellous response during the past week you can tell WATR listeners that the rest of the staff and myself will leave no stone un- turned to bring them the best in local radio entertainment"
 Those who know George Duffy will agree that his statement and his promise can be depended on completely, which means that WATR listeners are in for many pleasant hours in the months tu come.
 During the nrSt week ol lohBrT operation, WATR offered several new programs which have imme- diately captured widespread inter est. One is the Democrats sports program, directed by John A. CIuney; another is the transfer of the street broadcast to an evening spot, and there are several other outstanding examples.
