ment, one of the worthwhile laws
passed by the last Legislature is the
establishment of a statewide broad
casting station under the operation
of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehen-
sion. For this purpose the Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000.
This will mark the first unit of the
system of police alarm which ult1-
mately will blanket the state and
make Minnesota a difficult territory
for operation of criminals. Two other
units will be established later as
funds become available, according to
plans of Melvin c. Passolt, bureau

State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

The Old Age Pension law passed by
the last Legislature is invalid, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered last
week by Harry II. Peterson, attor-
ney general. The attorney general
held that the bill presented and
signed by the Governor was not the
bill which was passed by the Legis-
nature.
I'VE regret that the ......... rules
renders the alleged law nullity. Z.
80. -" Mr.. Peterson said in his opin-
ion. I'VE see no hope of escape from
them. We think that the sooner the
matter is brought to the attention OF
the proper authorities, the sooner
the errors may be rectified and a new,
and perhaps in many respects bet
ter law may be passed to deal with
the matter of Old Age Pensions.
This is not our fault nor our re-
sponsibility. The responsibility rests
Oh the Legislature and its agents. 49,
The Old Age Pension law, although
it fell short of the law proposed by the
liberals in the House and the Senate
constitutes the only piece of major
social legislation passed by the re-
actionary-c rolled Legislature
Through an error, a Republican ap
pointee inserted into the bill al
amendment sponsored by Senator
Rockne which would bar from the pro
visions of the law all elderly person;
who have relative with legal re
sponsibility to support them. 1t il
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1935-05-16

very strange indeed that this amend
ment. designed to remove from the
bill most of its benefits, should have
been inserted into the copy which was
sent to the Governor to sign and which
the Governor in all good faith signed.
Responsibility for the error" has not
been established.
One of the first utterances of Sena-
tor ROckne, reactiOnary leader, was a
statement to the press as to how
much money the taxpayers would
save by virtue of the Old Age Pension
law being declared null and void as
the result of the error"
Unquestionably the nullity of the
Old Age Pension bill will hasten the
calling of a special session of the
Legislature. The Governor has plain
ly indicated that such a session will
be called to effect tax provision pro-
gram so that the heavy burden Of
taxes will be taken off the real estate
and it may now be called at an earlier
date than contemplated.
Applications filed with Commission
er of Securiti S. Paul Skahen fol

1885. disclOses total deposits OF $685.
39S,135, which represent an increase
in deposits of $29, 429,463 since the re-
port of April Z. 1884. This Is the
largest increase in deposits for any
quarter for a number of years.
The largest increase is in the COM
mercial deposits, which increased
$4,SO6,541, making a total of COM
mercial deposits of $60,3S9,557. De-
mand certificates and cashiers checks
increased $2,266,OSS. to total of
$5,OS9,734. Saving deposits increased
S3,511,S 1863, to a total of $1O0.387 ,647.
Loans and discounts increased $2,022,-
100.
Commissioner Benson announces
, that this is the first time for a num-
Der of years that loans and discounts
have increased. other bonds and Sc
curities increased $5,1S7 ,098. Cash on
| hand and due from banks increased
| $4,1OO,700.
The figures are significant, accord
ing to Mr.. Benson, because while the
increase in deposits indicate greater
confidence in the security of the state
banks on the part of the public, an
increase in local deposits indicate ar
increased confidence on the part Of
bankers in their local communities
The trend of recent years has beer
a lack of confidence i'm local business

This renewed confidence in local bus

banks, Mr.. Benson said, means boil

While the Minnesota highway de-

state that they cannot set up a def

which may be provided Minnesota for

according to unofficial reports, but nc
definite statement on the matter has
been forthcoming from federal au-
thOritieS as yet. Whether the state
takes full advantage of the federal
aid offers will depend on the Execu-
tive Council, which was empowered
by the Legislature to authorize q
highway bond issue to meet necessary
state expenses involved. Interest anG
principal payments on bonds already
require nearly one-third of the tota

restoration. propagation and prOtec-
ton of game and fish. The immensely
of this problem is not perhaps fully
appreciated by a large number OF
citizens. Mans encroachment on the
natural domain of our game and fish
has all but eliminated some OF the
valuable of our sO-called game Spe-
cies. To preserve upland game and
make it available to the sportsmen,
requires the acquisition and intensive
| management of game refugees and
game farms. Migratory waterfowl, at
present facing a serious crisis, must
| be provided with breeding, feeding and
nesting grounds where they may find
sanctuary. Statutory game refugees
| aggregating upwards of three million
acres, eight public hunting grounds
and game refugees distributed geogra-

or in the process of acquisition from
funds contributed by licenses. pur-
| chased by Sportsmen, are at present
being managed for the protection anC
propagation of upland game and mi
gratOry waterfowl"
There is food for thought in the
above remarks. Despite the tremen
dOus amount of work that is being
done, only beginning has been made
