Professor j. l.. House, principal of
Central Union high school, of the
incident. A check of the records at
the high school showed that neither
young man under arrest is a stu
dent at the local high school,
though both have attended that in
stitution.
One left school three years ago.
The other was registered for a time
but has not attended for several
years.
II feel it is hardly necessary for
me to say that Central Union high
school officials and students not
only had no connection with this
incident but we cannot condemn 1t
strongly enough" Professor House
said 1T is affairs of this kind that
stir up inter-city strife which all
of us who have the welfare of I'm
perial Valley III mind can only de-
plore.
"It is particularly aggravating
because of the recent unpleasant
ness over the football championship,
however I am confident Brawley
high school officials will agree that
it was something to have avoided
The young men acted in an ex-
tremely foolhardy manner, ano
while do not believe they had any
criminal intent, that is for the au-
thoritieS tn decide +"

Posses Search For
Missing AUiators

SANTA BARBARA, May 80. U.P)
-Sheriff's posses searched the
mountain Businesses near Santa
Ynez valley today for Roger Wal
ters and Paul Heskett, Santa Bar
bara aviators, who we're believed to
have crashed in the area.
The flyers left here late yester-
day in a rented plane to photograph
the valley. The ship carried enough
gasoline for a three hour flight and
Arthur Calls, airport instructor
who rented them the plane, appeal
ed for aid when they did not re-
turn after five hours.
A sheriff's searching party was
organized after three planes flew
over the region and reported no
trace of the aviators. A fire look
out on La Cumbre peak said he had
heard no plane pass overhead al
though the station is on the route
to San Ynez valley.

K|DNAPERS Of
BOY FAIL 7 D
TAKE ACTION
Weyerhaeuser Family Friends
Say No Contacts Made Since
First Note Received

TACOMA, Wash, May 30 (UR)-At
noon today six days had passed
since three men seized little George
Hunt Weyerhaeuser.
1t was one Gay more than the
five days" in which the family
was told to raise the 100000 ram
som. The money has been obtain
ed and has been held by the family
in small bills, as the ransom note
directed, but the kidnapers, ap-
parently afraid of "the heat" on
the case, have failed to deliver in
structions for its payment.
Two sources close to the Weyer-
haeuser family, both old friends of
the family, not officials, indicated
today that there had been no word
from the kidnapers and that the
family was harried by anxiety.
From reliable sources-but un-
confirmed by federal agents-it was
learned that Alvin Karpis and
Harry Campbell of the notorious
Barker-Karpis gang, kidnapers OF
CJQN al " Ia Ob' clhl bAAolAANoS
man, are suspected of the Weyer-
haeuser abduction.
In that crime, the time dragged
out % weary days before Edward
Bremen was released on payment
of an identical ransom sum, and
before the end Adolph Bremen, his
distraught father, had to plead with
officials to remain off the case "just
three more days" to give him OPP
portunity to pay the ransom.
Among the police-the &c men"
will not talk-theories run the
whole gamut of possibilities. Some
believe the boy was hidden in Cali
fornia, some that he was kidnapped
by the Barker-Karpis or other east
ern gang; some that a local amateur
gang committed the crime; that the
boy is hidden in Tacoma, Seattle, an
island on Puget Sound, or the
mountains.

"Those who now lie in peace
beneath the hallowed soil of their
country will be enshrined in the
memories of each succeeding gen.
Grafton, living on in immortal

Legislative
Letter
BY r. w. Hitchcock

There are three things about
the Legislature" said Bill Nolan,
three times Speaker Of the Mime
sofa House, ITO be thankful fort
meets only once In two years. 1t is
limited by law to 90 days, and II
thele is an extra session the MEM
hers don't get paid anything for
It."
The Forty-Seventh Legislature
Of Minnesota meets on Tuesday,
January 9th. II 1t Is like most OF
its predecessors. and It will be, 1t
will stick 1t out for the full 80 days.
and Governor Olson and the peo-
pie Of Minnesota will have it on
their hands for four months.
It is sometimes hard for the or
binary fellow to understand how
the Legislature makes four months
out Of 90 days. It is a simple mat
ter Of legislative hocus-pocus. To
your law-maker there are three
kinds of days-calendar days, ses-
sion days, and legislative days. A
calendar day Is any old day that
comes along and there are just ex-
actly seven of them In any week
as every school boy knows. "a ses-
sion day is any day on which the
Legislature Is in session. Next
week, the opening week Of the
Legislature Of 1885, win probably
have just three session days, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
The members will then, In all pro-
liability, be exhausted from their
unaccustomed laibors and will ad-
journ over the weekend to gether
strength for the labors Of the fol-
lowing week. But you never can
tell about q Legislature. It might
want to stun the people with an
unheard-of record, and so meet on
Friday. in which case the opening
week would have four session
days. Don't lay much money on
four session days for next week,
however-it wouldn't be a good bet.
In contrast to a calendar day and
a session day, a legislative day Is
any day on which the Legislature
may lawfully meet. It cannot meet
and do business on Sundays or on
legal holidays. Eliminating Sum
days and holidays, the 80 legisla-
tive days permitted to the Legisla-
ture by the Constitution will
stretch out the time of the session
to nearly four months and the ses-
sion will come to an end the last
week in April.
The opening week Of the session
will have its full complement Of
seven calendar days, but it will
probably have but three session
days, although it will have five leg
islative days. Thus we see at the
very beginning that law-making is
a complicated business.
Every eye is focused on the Leg
dslature in interest when 1t begins
in January-every breast heaves a
sigh Of relief when 1t ends in
April. Nothing becomes a Legisla-
ture like the ending Of it. The
Governor would find governing

program, developed through exper-
fence with details Of cornJhog adj
justment during the past year, are
expected to permit more rapid
handling Of contracts and pay
ments during the coming year.
In 1885. the cooperation pro-
Queer will sign the contract only
once instead Of twice. An official
application form giving the pro-
ducer's name, address, and far
ming location will be provided
under the 1885 program. On this
form the producer will report any
changes from his 1884 status, and
will state whether he signed q
contract in 1884, whether the land
to be covered by contract Is ex-
actly the same as covered by con-
tract In 1884, and whether he
wishes to include a hog base which
was not established under the 1884
contract This procedure will en-
able community committeeman to
speed handling Of contracts.
In the case Of 1884 signers who
have moved to new farms or
otherwise altered their farming
units, or where changes have
occurred which necessitate a re-
determination Of the corn or hog
base, the applicant will also fill
out a work sheet, giving full de-
tails Of these changes.
Complete information on the de-
tails of the 1885 program will be
available to all corn and hog pro-
ducers at the community meetings
to be held in January or early Feb
ruary. Each farmer applying for
a contract will receive copies Of
all forms and booklet on rul-
ings.

Drivers License Again In Spot
Light

Light
The administration Of the new
Drivers License law aroused q
great deal Of criticism IN the 1884
campaign and there wasn't much
that the state administration could
say about 1t.
Evidently the administration
thinks that where there Is SO much
smoke Of talk there may be some
fire Of action. The talk is that an
attempt will be made to transfer
the drivers license division to the
Secretary Of State and join it with
the motor license division.
Just to be ON the safe side, the
administration the other day paid
Friend Ward. landlord to the driv-
ers license division, six months
rent in advance.
Legislative FI0tsam
Many veteran Senators, whom
Governor Olson promised to CAM
paign against, are back again. The
Governor kept his promise, but he
wasn't as successful talking against
others as me was talking for HIM
self. These veteran Senators will be
powerful influence in the Legis-
lature Of 1885.
IAN exceptionally large number Of
veteran House members will be
missing from the Legislature Of
1885, but usually strong men have
been elected to take their places.
Several new members of 1888 have
shown exceptional ability, and the
new crop Of 1888 have ,.........
new crop this year Is generally re-
garded as considerably above the
average.
Senate and House will organize
on Tuesday, the first day, with
every indication that the independ-
ent progressives will control both
bodiesI The Governor will deliver
his message on Wednesday.
Governor Olson's first message,
in 1881, was very amateurish, very
much a school boy effort, betray-
ing the fact that he had had little
experience or knowledge Of state
affairs. His message In 1888 was
a comprehensive state paper, and
the message this year Is awaited
with keen interest. A politically
hostile Legislature having relieved
him Of responsibility, he can go as
far as he likes with promises and
The state wonders how
far he will go.
The Legislature of 1885 has a big
job and there is evidence that there
are more big men than usual to do
1t.
