State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

Upon his return from Washington,
cial session of the Legislature will be
necessary if Minnesota is to receive
the benefits of the social security bill
passed by Congress. But no sooner
than it became evident that a special
session would be called, House Con-
known that his colleagues and bench
men will make this the occasion for
putting over a sales tax.
1t is safe to say that the governor
today is as much opposed to a tax on
poverty as he was when the conServa-
tiveS of the Legislature attempted to
put over their pet tax scheme during
the last session. He can be depended
upon to do everything in his power to
protect the masses, whose standard
of living is continually being lowered,
against those who are attempting to
shoulder upon them tax burdens which
properly belong to those who have the
means and ability to pay and who
therefore receive the greatest degree
of economic security from our govern
ment.
The attitude of the conservatives
in the Legislature, if Representative
Dunn is their true spokesman, shows
that the public good plays little part
in their calculations. Minnesota can
not receive any old age pension or
other social securities benefits unless
we get the sales tax as Fart of the
bargain" is in effect what they say.

Careless smoking habits led the pa
rade in Minnesota as the greatest
cause of fires, according to Dewey w
johnson, deputy state fire marshal
Forty-five fires in July were caused by
careless wooers of Lady Nicotine
Next in order in causes for fires were
defective wires, starting % fires.
Third was gasoline and Illuminating
gas explosions, numbering II. Twelve
fires were caused by sparks from
chimneys, nine by overheated stoves,
eight by lightning, eight by spontane-
Gus combustion. Two fires were of
incendiary origin and 25 came of mis-
cellaneous causes. Mr.. Johnson de-
duces from these figures that in July
95 per cent of the fires in the state
