PITTENGER HITS
FOREIGN BUYING
Points to State Purchases Of
Matches From Japan and
Other Imports.

Commenting on the fact that the
State of Minnesota buys matches i'm
ported from Japan, instead of patron
izing our own factory at Cloquet, Min
nesota, Congressman William A. Pit
tenger declared that one Of the matters
Of major concern to this section is the
free trade attitude of the present adj
ministration at Washington.
1.-The policy of lowering the tariff and
of making reciprocal trade agreements
with other countries now being carried
out by the administration" Mr.. Pit
tenger said, will spell ruin for the State
of Minnesota"
Wood pulp from Europe, matches
from Japan dairy products from abroad,
will not help either labor or business
conditions in this section" Pittenger
continued. "and our people must begin
to realize the danger that threatens
them from this free trade policy of the
administration"
This position of Congressman Pit
tenger in favor of higher tariff duties
is not a new one with him. He took
the same position when he was men,
Der of Congress in 1881, when he ad-
vocated an embargo against the i'm
portation of foreign made goods and
products. At that time, he said: I'VE
should not be misled by the viewpoint
of the International bankers, who woule
have free trade with Europe in order
that European countries might mee'
their obligations to the bankers"
Congressman Pittenger expects t.
have good news on the Fire Claimant:
Bill sometime in the near future.

to Danish culture and education as
ranking second to none in Europe be-
cause teachers hold degree of tenure
that enhances the dignity OF the pro-
fession and enables the instructor to
teach the truth as he or she sees it.
Compulsory college for all boys and
girls OF normal intelligence was another
point advanced by DR.. Rockwell. He
also urged wider choice of subjects
for high school students and said that
the time has come to think of diversified
schools of vocational, music, art and
physical education on a level with the
present high school system.
What is wrong with culture when
people want to fight wars?" the speaker
asked the audience. Charging that
there is something radically wrong with
our culture system, DR.. Rockwell MAIN
tanned that no one agency is entirely at
fault but he placed the responsibility
on all phases of culture including edu-
cation. He said that if we are to keep
the coming generations out of war We
must scrutinize our institutions and
work for the correction of the evils
present.
Our educational system can not fail
but it can accomplish more and it is
the duty of educators to seek means of
improving learning" he said.
DR.. Rockwell was introduced by Frank
Bourgin.

MUST Increase
HIGHWAY FUNDS
State Must Increase Highway
Funds to Get Allotment
Warns Elsberg.

Although Minnesota probably will be
allotted SCI 800, 900 of federal public
works highway funds for 1885 and 1896
without the necessity of matching the
money, the state will be unable to obtain
the grant unless highway department
revenues are increased sufficiently to
meet incidental expenses, N. w. Elsberg,
highway commissioner, informed the
legislature this week.
His statement was based on the pre-
sumption that present federal regula-
tionS governing expenditure of emer-
gency grant funds will remain in effect
for the coming two years. Mr.. Elsberg
estimated that approximately $4.450 yOO0
over and above revenues anticipated
under the ouse-Senate conference re-
port on license fees will be necessary
if the state is to spend the full federal
grant. This does not include any
money for matching of regular federal
aid set up in the Hayden-C Cartwright
act.
Existing federal regulations" said
Mr.. Elsberg, require the state to use
its own funds for preliminary engineer
ing, planning and other incidental work
on an emergency grant program, anC
also pay in full all property damages
condemnation awards and property pur-
chases required to carry out the pro.
gram.
Those necessary state expense.
amount to from 20 to 80 per cent of tn,
federal funds used. Using Is per cen
as an average, it will cost the stat,
about $5,450,0OO to spend the full fed
eral grant of $2l, 100000.
with the approximate increase in de
partment revenues of 100000 a yea
provided by the conference report OF
motor vehicle license fees, we will hav,
about 100000 a year in state funds
available for use with the federal grant
All the rest of state funds will be re-
quired for bond charges, maintenance,
and other necessary expenses.
''This would make 81, 100000 of stat,
funds available for the two year period
Deducting this from the $5,45O00'
needed, leaves a shortage of $4.450 OO'
for the biennium. The available ST.,
600 900 alone will enable us to use abou
81 100000 of the federal grant Thu!
the state stands to lose nearly $18,0O0.'

are clasSed under undermining and may
be purchased with funds borrowed
through the Better Housing plan. It is
only necessary that such appliances be
made permanent Improvements, Mr..
Brown said in pointing out that this
requirement could be satisfied by solder
ing the connection to the electric outlet.
In discussing the campaign, Mr..
Brown pointed out that as result OF a
five-year period of Stagnation in the
building industry a large percentage OF
the buildings in Ely are greatly in need
of repairs and improvements. The
same is true, of course, throughout the
country, he said. Many properties have
been neglected because Of lack of credit
and funds until they are near the
borderline where further neglect viii
make Salvaging hardly worthwhile, he
pointed out. However, he continued
prompt action this spring and the use
of the aid offered by the Better Hous-
ing campaign will arrest the decllne o.
the value of these properties
The scope of the work possible under
the provisions of the campaign en-
braces almost any permanent improve
ment that adds to the efficiency OF
value OF the property, Mr.. Brown ex-
planned. He urged property owners tt
secure full information from the can
vaSser.

Darling Orders Strict
Duck LalU Enforcement

Whether a closed season on duck
shooting is imposed for 1885, as advo-
Gated by many organizations, or not
sportsmen of the country can take ii
from j. N. Darling, biological survey
chief, they will shoot less than the
number Matched.
Darling, best noted for his penwork
as newspaper cartoonist, is ready to
get tough about it if pushed and has
laid down that general bookkeeping
rule" which the bureau will follow
come hell or high water"
During the last 10 years the annual
kill OF ducks and geese has averaged
100000 in excess of the number
Matched, resulting in a constant cut
into the capital stock of the nations
waterfowl" Darling declared, land that
is going to be stopped if I have any,
thing to say about it,"
The bureau has completed a winter
census OF birds of all species and will
follow them northward this spring to
make closer check in breeding and
nesting areas during the summer
From the data gathered the bureau
will recommend to Secretary Wallace
the open dates and bag limits to be
imposed on hunters this fall
'This is not being considered as an
effort to destroy the sport but to pre-
serve it for the future" Darling ex-
planned. I'VE cannot expect to 60 or

10 years and have anything left"

While I like to write mostly on &C
cident prevention and safe driving
nevertheless a word now and then on
what to do when you have an accident
is important.
If an accident happens, keep your
head and do not leave the scene OF the
accident until you are Justified in doing
so. The driver who runs away after a
person has been killed or injured COM
mits a serious offense. Drive the in
jured person to the nearest doctors
Office or hospital, and report at once
to an officer of the law. An attempt to
evade the law is usually construed as
an admission Of guilt.
No matter how trivial or how serious
it may be, get the facts about every ac-
cident in which your car is involved
These facts should be written on paper
at once for they may be Of great value
to you later on

wants it,

Mr.. Swanson said that every feature OF
the building is being planned with the
one aim of providing Ely motion pic

Dear Mr.. Schaefer: Thank you very
kindly for your editorial of this week
concerning the Minnesota public safety
record
It has been the cooperation and the
acquaintanceship of men of your type
through my years of activity in accident
prevention that have made possible my
contribution to this work.
Minnesota is making a real accom-
plishment this year with somewhere
over seventy fewer people killed in
traffic accidents for the first three
months, compared with the first three
months of last year, and an happy
to note that Ely has contributed its
share to this program.

hoping to see you before long, re-

Shooting Stars

Shooting stars are small bodies
which approach the earth from inter
planetary space at high velocity.
They shine only when they enter the
outer atmosphere of the earth and be-
come heated by friction In flying
through the air. Most of them burn
up completely before they reach the
earth's surface. Those that reach the
earth's surface are called meteorites.

NAVY DRIVERS WIN
SAFETY AWARDS
Officials Praise "ReaI Con-
tribution to Auto 0per-
alton" Made BY Group.

A real contribution to safe automo-
bile driving has been made by the
chauffeurs at the Washington Navy
Yard, officials said today, under di-
rection of Lieut.. Walter r. Jones,
safety engineer, who also commands
the presidential yacht, Sequoia. The
Navy Department today announced
safety awards recently given at the
local yard as part of Nationwide
Navy safety campaign in progress
since 1888.
Before this campaign began there
was an average Of three or four acct
dents a month. But because OF the
drive, this has been reduced to flve
automobile accidents for chauffeurs
in the entire naval service last year.
This includes only official cars. Most
of the Washington Navy Yard chauf-
feurs, Navy officials declared, have
second year safety badges, showing q
high degree of care in driving.
Campaign Going On.
The automobile safety feature Is
but one phase of campaign contin-
ually going on in the Navy at the
various shore establishments to re-
duce the hazard of accidents from
machinery and other causes. 1t is
directed by William P. Biggs, safety
engineer at the Navy Department.
Biggs declared today that during
1888 the Navy Department inaugur-
ated a safe driving contest among
the civilian chauffeurs at the various
Navy yards and stations. Any acci-
dent in which a driver was involved,
