money spent on the salaries OF
Murchie- futile & Murchie, was
money deducted from the biscuit
fund of MinneSota's destitute!
Does that thought interest the
committee?
Let's 60 back and take another
look at Prof. Murchie and the
stock-food project:
When the five hundred thousand
dollar feed-relief fund was voted,
some one in the senate evidently
had a bright idea-that of plac-
ing the expenditure of this vast
sum in the hands of the Execu-
tive Council-a board consisting
of the Governor, Attorney Gen
eral, State Auditor, Treasurer
and Secretary of State. But the
idea escaped. And we find the
same old outfit preparing to dole
out the feed funds according to
the Canadians formula - and
guess work.
Prof. Murchie blandly an
nounced a System" of alloting
slices of this fund to farmers in
the drouth districts and here's his
large idea of how a farmer
should feed his stock:
The clod-buster with farm
not in excess of 40 acres would
be allowed twenty-nine dollars
worth of hay and grain per
month, biased on a unit of four
head of stock" If he happened
to have FIVE head, in order to
come in intimate contact with the
Murcie plan, he would be obliged
to massacre one-if six head, the
slaughter would be extended to
one pair.
The plan is of "the sliding
scale variety" The farmer on a
Al acre and not to exceed 80
acre farm, will be allowed to feed
nine head of live stock (if any of
it's alive by the time the RRC
gets through computing the sys-
tem) and the fellow with 81 to
100 acres is permitted to hang on
to II head if he can get by with
sixty dollars per month.
And so it goes on and on, with
Murchie firmly in the saddle and
the legislature twiddling its
thumbs. Why all this timidity:?
Are those solons afraid to incur
the ne.of the tall blond gentle
man with 'bsonipg voice? They
act: like :ii.,. !:

lar stock relief fund should have

oasmership of-and left Murchie's
formula to be peddled among the
Chinese rice-farmers.
1t is plainly visible to any one
with thimbleful of brains that
there's been too much politics
mixed in with relief funds-too
many useless employees placed
and kept on the payrolls and too

much.

committee is to yelp Eyes" to

should allow for the gear ratio of

nice young gentlemen who abhor
haste and love conversation.
However, do we get any action
on this Murchie matter? If not,
why not? If the SERA salary of
Mr.. Murchie amounting to FIVE
thousand, four hundred dollars
and the eighty-fve dollars paid his
estimable daughter is all that pre-
vents the SERA from total col
lapse, pull the prop and let the
structure fall!
The professors salary alone
will provide three hundred tons
of hay Cat $lS per tony for
farmers who are forced to see
their livestock die of starvation.
But of course, if we are being
taxed to maintain high standards
of living (and fat salaries) to
alien agriculturists, then that's
quite different.

that they can no longer produce
relief administrators of the Mw-
chic calibey, that that gentleman
has mo legal right to accept his
salary or the administration de-
duct 1t from relief funds!
If the senate committee wishes
to take the time to glance over the
office records, it will find that
the Murchie salary is within a
few dollars of that of the head of
the relief administrator-in-chief.
But like a lot of other records,
their contents are sacred-appar-
emily.
And now that there is to be
an immediate" distribution of
emergency feed cash what assur-
ance have we that Prof. Murchie
will not consent to the use of
those funds to finance "Bnmpety-

Issuance of three year car Ii

1884 Minnesota printed 725,OOO
pairs of plates at a cost of $780,
500. Distribution of the plates
was an additional cost. The only
real drawback to the plan is car
owners ability to pay in lump
sum for three-year license plates.
But a way out would be to permit
car owners to pay on a three-year
plan.
